    When are you sweating the most?

    For me, a tiebreaker in a tennis match. Especially the later the set, the more sweat....

    8th inning of a baseball game. Thats the inning I get beat in the most.

    Actually 7 through 9 are tough to get through.

        Useless fouls down by 8 with 5 seconds to go to destroy unders...either that or watching an easy winner on an under bet go to overtime.

                    Hockey OT(especially playoffs) is about as intense as you can get, and this is coming from someone who isnt a huge fan of the game. Having money on it would push it over the top for me.

                                  Easy. When a pro or college hoops team is up by 3 with less than 5 seconds to go and they let the opponent attempt a 3 pt FG instead of sending them to the line to shoot 2 - particularly when it's done by "legendary, hall-of-fame coach" Phil Jackson.

                                      Another agonizing moment is the final minute of a basketball game when it is getting ready to fall right around the number one way or another. This is even more stressful when the game has been decided and it's just kind of garbage time.

                                          Women's basketball...and not because it is exciting. Because it is painful to watch. We went out to dinner last night. I looked up at the TV which was across the restaurant and saw that it was UNC and some other team. I said to my husband "squint your eyes and try to PRETEND that they are men". It isn't hard to do because the women look like men anyway...but the game is much slower and not nearly as exciting. Therefore making it agnozing to watch.

                                          It was also mentioned in our local paper that the Lesbian Superbowl is being held in Tampa next weekend to celebrate the women's final four.

                                          Barf.
