I stopped reading this when I realized that lakers games don't go until "3 or 4 in the morning" even if you subtract 3 hours for east coast time. This post is fictitious. Nice try. Loser.

"Thinking back I remember many nights staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning waiting for the end of a Lakers..."

his timeframe is just fine.

A game that starts in LA at 7 starts at 10 Boston time. For it to end at 4 AM would be a six hour game.

Default What the economists have to say about gambling

I found an interesting article. A economist, computer engineer and seasoned gambler all talk about playing online. They give different arguments for how to win and even what winning is. I found the economist's perspective the best. Basically, he says "it makes sense to blow money playing online if we're getting entertained, or if we might win a huge amount of money when we play. So read the article, and (hopefully) you'll be able to get over your guilt. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
