Are we open to changing the draft date? I can't make it on the 2nd.


I'm not set in stone on it, I just figured that by that time on a holiday weekend, people would be back home from their revelries.

Apparently you misunderestimate my capacity for dissolution and debauchery. That and...well...taking my kid to school...

Anyway, if we can do the 3rd, that would be great.

Felt the same way about playing poker with a bunch of old people at the casino and winning their retirement money.

But hey, I'm not going to say no to free cheeseburgers.


Some of us need to make a living somehow

I think its out of control and ruining lives, after 8 pm 60% of television advertisements here in aus are for gambling.
Between slots, sports gambling, greyhounds and the track all wanting their spots its hard to avoid all the adverts and it must be hell for real gambling addicts.


The problem is much deeper.

Our culture removes all risk from our lives and as a result when people grow up they havent been prepared to handle the reality of the world. I dont think gambling is a good idea but making it illegal will only make the problem worse in the long term.

If anyone needs a buy-in I am happy to cover you.

If we end up with more people than slots I will bow out, but otherwise let the trash talk commence.

sports gambling should be legal for all 18+ year olds and the punishment for people inside the game like refs, players, and coaches participating should largely be handled internally. However in egregious cases i can see people being charged with fraud, when they purposefully affect outcomes. if players however bet on themselves i think it should be up to the organization to allow or not allow that.

Casinos need to quit bothering me about all that addiction crap while I'm giving them my money.

Agree, I just think there needs to be controls on advertising if anything.
