Women Dare to Win. By Cyndi Walker

"Who dares wins."
Motto of the British Special Air Service

Creatures of beauty, grace, motherhood and tenderness they may be, but believe you me.....women have a resilient and dangerous side to them that has marked them out through history as risk-takers and gamblers of the highest order.

Take for example the numerous cases of women warriors!

During World War II, Britain had women in the Special Operations Forces (or SOE) working behind enemy lines. The Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) had 1,700 members at the outbreak of the war, and 180,000 by 1943. In 1949 it became the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF).

Individual women stand out, for example, Collette Nirouet disguised herself as a man and joined the French army to fight in World War II. Elena Haas fought with the Czech Resistance in WW2, Janos Halasi fought with Hungarian freedom fighters in WW2, and Maria Svobod also fought with the Hungarian resistance in WW2.

The examples go on and on......Jackie Cochran (1906 -1980) and Nancy Harkness Love (born on February 14, 1914) founded the US Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during WW2. Elaine Mordeaux, a French Resistance commander in WW2, led a unit of two hundred guerrillas, about a third of them were women.

In their approach to gambling, women are less warrior-like and more playful, enjoying the entertainment value of a game of online bingo or online casino games like French Roulette or Blackjack. For example, BingoMEGA - www.bingomega.com - reports that one of their players hit a lucky streak, won some jackpots, and then decided to go to Reno. Once there, she hit an enormous jackpot and won a car, and shared her experience with the rest of the community, all of whom supported her with the enthusiasm characteristic of bingo communities.

Premier Bingo reports a player who had a premonition she was going to win the jackpot, made her wager, and was brave enough to leave the room in total confidence that she would win it! And she did?making $2760.18 in all. (Please see www.bingowire.com for the full story).

What Casino? hails all brave and enthusiastic women around the world and wishes them all luck, whatever they decide to gamble on or risk to achieve their goals.
