A dull subject for most people, but relevant to trading and sports betting. Here is a YT video link (15 minutes),

Behavioural scientist, Dylan Evans, asks - What Can We Learn From Expert Gamblers?

His Websites have gone. Risk Intelligence test is available as a mobile app, not good on a phone, might be worth trying on a Tablet.

I had a chat with this chap and invited him over the office. But we never met.

It's curious, of the last dozen or so people I've reached out to none have taken it any further.

The comments troll his video, most claim to knowing it all already and he was wasting their time. I often meet similar assessments from people who know nothing about what we do but think they know everything. Even explaining the difference between betting (a wager of assessment and skill) and gambling (a wager of chance) is often impossible.

Have you ever get chance to meet up with Bill Benter? I hear he was/is a visiting prof at soton uni.
He'd be top of a very short list of people I'd love an hour with.

You know I almost qualified what I said, maybe throwing in something witty about it being a different list to the one Nicole Scherzinger is on etc etc but I thought 'that's not necessary, everyone here is mature enough not to pull me up'....seems i was wrong :D
