I was sitting here watching the New Zealand-Guinea soccer game with my wife (she’s a Kiwi) …

And then we saw the news about Olympic Esports, and she instantly says, “You just need to be a gamer.”
She says this because of the amount of hype and money that surrounds Esports. I bet on it (it’s very profitable), so we’ve learned a lot along the way. Not only is it an individual thing, but it’s become a team thing as well, and now here we are seeing it in the Olympics. And, as I’ve already told you, you can gamble on it. It’s become a thoroughbred realm, an actual sport.
I might have to listen to wifey on this one.
