and I'd pay twice Lou's fees over having TP represent me pro boner.
Sklanksy: "As can be seen, poker is gambling. Anyone who says it's not or states that when he plays he doesn't gamble, does not understand poker as well as he should. Poker is gambling because your outcomes, for the most part, are not certain." He later says, "But what sets poker apart from many other gambling games is that your expectation can be positive. You achieve this mainly by exploiting the errors that your opponents make because the money comes from them." ** Sorry TP. You have arguments with sound logic, but they wouldn't hold up in a court of law. Also Nascar and other sports do have variables that affect the outcome of the event. But, they should not be construed as mere chance. If I'm trying to pass Tony Stewart on the outside in the 4th turn, and he makes a nice move to block me, it didn't occur by chance. Same thing if I make a beautiful drive in a basketball game, beat my man, only to have another player take a charge on me. If offensive player X beats defensive player Y off the dribble, what are the odds of defensive player Z being in good helpside defense to take a charge???????? No, not the same. The fact that you think "not agreeing" with a law would give you any legal footing in court is laughable. I don't think marijuana should be included in illegal drug laws. But if I'm smoking a joint in my car tonight and get pulled over, well, you get the point.
