Or something.

i hear you. he was more asking about capping every sport or just some sports so it sounded to me like he was trying to make money at it. otherwise for an action junkie, they play everything.
when you start talking, though, like you were about having to have action on a game and having to have action period, and the action being the important thing that is a slilppery slope. that is how people end up at GA with no house, wife or kids. i guess i am just wired different than most that gamble. i don't like watching what i bet on and only gamble on things to make money. i would rather play an OVC game in CBB that gets updated every 15 minutes on yahoo's page rather than the Duke/NC game just because it is on TV.
i actually thought it was an interesting question and analysis by the guy honestly.
