OT Recursive wager class Re: AutoTote

Important note for Readers of Gambling:

The words about:
"...The Russian writer Dostoevsky portrays in his novella The 
Gambler the psychological implications of gambling and how gambling 
can affect gamblers. He also associates gambling and the idea 
of "getting rich quick", suggesting that Russians may have a 
particular affinity for gambling. Dostoevsky shows the effect of 
betting money for the chance of gaining more in 19th-century Europe. 
The association between Russians and gambling has fed legends of the 
origins of Russian roulette...."

is view of author "Gambling" article, I think. 
So, they can be rewritten, for example, as the following: 
"The association between Americans and gambling has fed legends of 
the origins of Las Vegas as American Dream."
