Who said, "If you can't calculate the risks, act upon the stakes.""

I've recently heard this phrase, "If you can't calculate the risks, act upon the stakes." What a great phrase. I'd like to quote it, and to attribute it to the source. Ed, was that you? Does anyone know who the source of this quote is?

thanks

It was probably a gambler, on " How to play winning Poker ". Sorry ! Couldn't resist that one . Eagle

I believe I first saw the idea articulated on TB2000 by a poster identified as "Hardliner". Don't recall the link, though.
