:lol: :lol: But apart from the :lol: an interesting view, HT. Do you think that many serious bettors such as yourself find their notions of self-esteem wrapped up in the outcome of their selections? I hadn't thought of gambling in that way - as an exercise of the intellect against others (bookmakers, casinos, poker players, etc.). As for being right about my choice, yes, I like that sort of confirmation. (And we're talking about a variety of things rather than my gambling, which is cigar-lighting money to you.) Interesting stuff, well worthy of Dr Melfi's caring attentions.
