Your comment. Wish I was on your side of 18 years old. Or even 48, ha!

Yeah 2 more years until I am 18. Good thing I am not able to bet or I would've been very angry that I had gotten scammed.

here is a good rule of thumb for you from an old gambler. Never bet on anything that is decided by a judge. Boxing, gymnastics, politics, like that.

What you want is a contest where the outcome is decided by the actions of the contestants with minimal interference by the controlling authority. Like poker or chess.

And speaking of poker, here's a corollary from my old man; never trust a profession that starts with a P.

Prostitutes, preachers, politicians, plumbers...
