Insurance should only be bought when you can't afford to take the loss yourself. For most people, losing a few game fees is not a major loss and certainly not worth the cost of buying the insurance year after year. Instead, just deposit the insurance premium in a savings account. In 2-3 years, you'll have enough to pay for whatever games you're likely to miss over your career.

The same thing applies with any other insurance...only insure what you can't afford to cover...set your deductibles as high as possible, up to what you can cover when the need arises. Don't get them as low as possible so you don't have to spend when something happens, you're just paying it all in advance and paying more. You just don't realize it since it is paid over time.

I have collected three times from NASO (one neck injury and three knee injuries, including one surgery).
