If only my time was a s valuable as theirs...

I am not much of a gambler. I don't waste money on the tax on people who struggle with math which is sometimes referred to as "the lottery", I am 5 cents down in Vegas...the one nickel my ex-wife threw in a slot machine to see how it worked...and so forth. But if I were going to bet, I wonder what it would be on.

It would not be on the throw of a pair of dice. There is simply too much random chance there. Besides, anyone who has done even 10 seconds of research knows the advantage lies with the house.

It would not be on Blackjack where even the best card counters eke out the barest percent of advantage and the turn of a card can break you.

It would not be on the horse races...they are over so fast it is hardly worth it.

It would not be on sports where degenerate gamblers have been known to shift the odds in their favor through means of questionable legitimacy.

No, I think if I were to become a gambler I would put all my eggs in one basket, so to speak. I would want to bet on which egg hatched first.

"100s of bets each hour"? Seriously? And I thought politicians were a waste of space!
