Tiger, it is quite simply the distrust of the human factor when it involves gambling. I dont even bother arguing with boneheads that make that blanket statement. These are the same people that will sit in front of a slot machine for hours, not realizing that the odds are REALLY stacked against you..automatically! A student of any game knows there are MANY different variables that go into that particular game. Hey, shit happens! Makes betting on your sport of choice much more enjoyable.
