Without a doubt. If Rick Tocchet still had his gambling ring going, he'd definitely be feeling the pinch. Good point.

My bookie has one of those virtual casino sites and just gives out different accounts. Scary proposition for the impulse gambler, as you can bet on just about anything. He lives in Drexel Hill which is about 40 minutes from my home, so we've set it up so that whoever is UP for the two week period has to meet the other person at a location convenient to them. Has been working out smoothly so far, and I'm loving the fact that I'm the one making most of the trips. .........but we all know how easily that can change.
