I'm a fan. Then again, i love gambling; then again, quite a few ppl do! :) I could see this catching on, particularly, in sports circles. Old friends, current friends, etc...Watching sports, and the app being a way to legitimize the casual

Love it. Brilliantly done article. Growing up, the sage advice I remember most from my dad was "the law of sunken treasure" and the sunk cost fallacy. The emotions that invariably underpin...every...thing are incredible. For better or worse
