Betting

Is the idea of betting interesting to anyone else?

Like in poker. Boiling it down to its most basic idea, it's saying how sure you are that your hand is superior to the other person's. And from that, so much strategy and tactics have come out.

I mean, for those of us who watch poker on tv or whatever, we see a player move in some chips and we think, "Oh he's trying to scare off the other players" or "He's trying to trap them." But at its purest, he's saying that I am willing to risk this much because I think my hand is the best hand on the table.

I don't really know where this was going. Just something running around in my head around the time I realized I hadn't posted today.
