Gambling 3 No Trump 
-------------------

The 23-25 hands rarely come up, and can be bid via the strong 2C.
This frees up the 3NT bid for something that comes up as frequently:
a hand with a long and solid minor.  So, Gambling 3NT shows:
  -a long and solid minor (usually 7 card suit)
  -most likely the point count is about 10 hcp. 
  -no four card major
  -no voids 

Responses to Gambling 3 NT are: 
0) pass: stoppers in most of the other suits. 
1) 4C: run, partner passes or bids diamonds  
2) 4D: slam try 
	a) Opener rebids 4NT to discourage w/ weak hand, else
	b) bids a suit as a cue bid
3) 4M: 6 card suit w/ no outside A 
	Opener can rebid 4NT or 5 of the minor as discouraging 
4) 4NT: slam try, and not enough for (2)
5) 5C: Just couldn't let opener play in 3NT.
	opener corrects to 5D if D are the suit.  

Examples: 
S: xx		You have 8 tricks and with a favorable 	
H: Kxx		lead (heart) or a nice looking dummy 
D: x		you can make 9 tricks. 
C: AKQJxxx	

S: x		Long diamond suit should bring in about  
H: Kx 		8 tricks and favorable leads should bring 
D: AKTxxxxx	in the rest. 
C: xx

S: Kxx		You could conceivably open 1C and jump in 
H: A		clubs on your second turn.  But opening 
D: Kx		3NT in 3rd/4th seat would be reasonable. 
C: KQJTxxx

S: A		This is too strong of a hand to open with  
H: Kx		3NT.  Bid 2C instead.  After all, all you 
D: Axx		need is an ace and two tricks from partner  
C: AKQxxxx 	to make 7NT! 

S: x		Do not bid 3NT.  You have a good 4 card  
H: KJxx		major and 3NT would imply having none. 
D: xx 		Open 1C instead. 
C: AKQxxx 

S: x		Show both minor suits rather than bidding 
H: A		3NT.  Open 1D with the intention of jumping  
D: AKTxxxx   	in clubs. 	
C: KQxx 	

S: xx 		Your diamond suit is not solid enough. 
H: A 		Preempt with 3D. 
D: KJxxxxx 
C: KJ
