I haven't moved, as obviously no one wants to back me. I can't blame them! I got Matt Russell @ 125/1 - he's now down to 80/1. Looks like he's had a fair bit of action. I started at 66/1.

For example, let's take a marathon. You have to pay to enter, unless you are an elite athlete who have their places paid for. Horse racing - the owners and trainers have to pay to enter races. Not sure I understand why the fact you have to buy-in would make a difference. In fact, surely it would make it more competitive? Yes - of course there is. For example, let’s take a marathon.

At least I wear my belt like a man. Anyway, the point was that betting on players in a poker tournament is the same as betting on other games/sports tournaments. Yes, well observed.

They all use balls - apart from chess - that uses "pieces" of course! No other sport uses chips apart from poker. Draughts look a bit like chips, as do back-gammon pieces - but they're not the same. ;-) Erm… not quite the same. They all use balls - apart from chess - that uses “pieces” of course!
