I know you meant well Thaskalos ! I have thick skin, after all, in this game, you must be an adult and make your own decisions (while ignoring tips and BS from others LOL).
Yes, I do love this darn intellectual challenge.
I think I told you this before but I just want to make sure.
2002. AQU 2nd floor grandstand. Knowledgeable but crazy horseplayer says to me:
EMD4ME do you play poker? Cards? Blackjack, Roullette etc?
Me: No. Hate gambling.
Horseplayer: Then why horses?
Me: Because I love the reduction of variables, playing the percentages etc.
Horseplayer: As you may know, I am a successful business man. Made a lot of money. Conquered a lot in my life etc. I play this game because it's the one game, that STIMULATES my brain. It's me VS. YOU but it's me VS. ME many times.
Me: Makes a lot of sense. I love the challenge of reducing questions (by studying more). Knowing more, working harder than the lazy player etc.
Horseplayer: Not all races can be played/not all races have an answer or a proper play.
Me: Is this the second version of the bible? I LOVE THIS DISCUSSION!
