Re: Interesting facts
Wait. If the industry is running at a profit, would we not be running at a loss?

Re: Interesting facts
Not if we become part of the industry. We will go in together and buy a big casino and make tons of money. Works for me.

All kinds of my favourite betting Sports have started... if only I knew how to pick consistent winners instead of just betting on the cutest quarterbacks! I think I should be watching how good they play the game, instead of their cute faces and tight uniforms! |

Re: Interesting facts
I have gained a whole new respect for you Luba. Here I thought it was just the game you were interested in.

Re: Interesting facts
Fact 1140:
Whoopi Goldberg's real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would she have changed her name; I liked her real name better! I don't know why, but I'm not a Whoopi fan...
