        MtG is pay to win these days (by virtue of the series shifts to crazier or more collectible cards) and blackjack is designed to be RNG hell. Why subject yourself to either of those?

        I read something about how some grandmasters think so hard that they burn as many calories as pro athletes. Their brains are going so wild that it can cause extreme fatigue and the shakes.

          The post said that you’d be forced to play the sport till 65, not that you need to be good at it, I’ll have a long career of losing matches then lol

        When you retire, you go play randomly at courses & clean up on friendly wagers. That way you can stay fluid in retirement.

      Do people currently get paid to play naked twister? Seems like more of a collegiate level sport
