I'll be getting to the baskets in a moment, as the early Saturday trading settles out, but with a little graffiti sprayed on the walls so far in this thread perhaps it would be a moment to recognize the irony. When the lead topic goes to how finding outlets for personal relaxation/reinvigoration can be every bit as important in terms of winning as knowledge of sports, the continuing theme of how you use what you know being so critical, perhaps it is fitting for a few sidetracks to be there that can be held up as examples of why that is so important.

Let's ask the question, because perhaps there is something to learn from it - of all of the possibilities involved in the human endeavor each day, the avenues for every person to grow as they go further on their chosen path, what is it that motivates anyone to make a post in a public forum that serves no purpose, other than to waste the time of those that have come to that form to discuss sports betting? I am curious, and there are likely others that share that curiosity. Is there genuinely a form of dubious notoriety that some folks do wish to attain?
