Well THIS is just a very odd analogy Alan. Do you need these kind of accolades, recognition, pat on the back? Very few occupations have such things. There is no "nurse of the year" award, or computer programmer Emmy award or Banker's Hall of Fame?

Financial rewards is our rewards! It is true that we are forced to play that cat and mouse game because we are 'competing' against the casino. Some players like that extra challenge. It adds to their excitement. Not really me though. That doesn't do anything extra for me. But I do get a little extra enjoyment out of beating, winning, earning my living from an industry that I consider a predatory industry. They make the rules favoring themselves and we win. Yeah, that gives me a little extra enjoyment. Maybe THAT is my "Golden Globe".
