Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 4854946, member: 749"] Why buy a stock when you could buy a fixed rate bond? Betting is about having an opinion and being willing to back it up. Being anxious toward the end of any game is what makes the whole process worth the effort. It’s the sweaty palms, not just the money, that are the rewards for putting your opinion to the test. And when the wild half court three misses at the end there’s exhilaration, and if it crazily happens to go in and you unbelievably lose the bet—it’s a bad beat story you’ll tell at the bar next week and far beyond.
