Mr. Thaskalos:
I always look forward to reading your posts with considerable eagerness. I have learned much from you and many others on this board over time. I continue to play this game because as many have stated that occasional feeling that I get when I am right and by all indications at the time that the betting public is not brings me a feeling of inexplicable exhilaration that perpetually keeps me continuing to "hunger for more"!!
