"This game is insane.
You play several hands of bridge, after you have picked a partner. If you score enough points in successive hands (or one really good hand), you win a game, which also makes you 'vulnerable', where you can score more points, but penalties for failing to deliver on your contract (established by a series of bids) are also higher. If you win 2 games out of 3, you have won a 'rubber' of bridge. WTF" — Aug 11, 2016 03:27PM

Job and relocation decisions are bets. Sales negotiations and contracts are bets. Buying a house is a bet. Ordering the chicken instead of the steak is a bet. Everything is a bet.
