I think the delivery is quite important.

I encourage you to act like a judge - sit back , listen (smile occassionally when a well chosen turn of words comes your way) and control the situation. The jury recognizes the merit of the arguments.
I have been contacted too many times by the jury.


BTW - I won $100 on the Maize and Blue, so I'm starting the week in a good mood.
Is it okay for you to wager on other sports?

1) Absolutely...much like a good comic or satirist, you have to HEAR the message. Too many people get hung up on the looks, voice or mannerisms and miss the thought. I don't have blinders on and don't have an agenda. But, I pick and choose my arguments carefully. Others see a name and grab the torches. Those are the ones that scare me. Blind rage obscures logic.

2) If you want to be the judge, you have to be prepared to hear complaints from the jury. It comes with the territory.

3) I was under the impression that gambling was legal in this country. I was at the ESPNZone in Las Vegas over the weekend. They've got this thing called a sports book and it was amazing. I gave some guy $50 and watched the game. A couple hours later he handed me $100! It was so cool; if you have the means, I highly recommend it.
