other coaches were cheating for my sons 3rd grade baseball tournament. You let the left take God out of our society and schools, and now here we are folks.

#1: "Seems like a LOT of people are cheats these days."

Where is the joy in that? Someone must be a real retard if they get pleasure out of cheating: "Hey, I cheated, but I won!" No you didn't win. Jeez.

A few years ago, a couple of geniuses went down to Florida and caught a couple of largemouth bass and then transported them alive to a bass fishing tournament being held in Oklahoma. (The fresh-water fish grow bigger the further south one gets, because it DOESN’T GET COLD THERE. /Sam Kinison voice.)

BIG prize money involved.

It took the wildlife biologist on hand about a minute to determine that “these fish are not from around here...”

Another example to tell your kids, “Don’t be that guy.”

Professional SPORTS fishermen which is mostly an oxymoron to begin with. If there is a lake with just one fish of a vanishing species, some professional SPORTS fishermen will go there and take it. Story was recounted in a long gone Sport fishing magazine from the 60s.

By Carl Hiaasen, Double Whammy, the Book, the best lure and the hilarious true fictional story of how to cheat in fishing tournaments, land development and murder.
A must read for serious laughers.

Cheat in a fishing tournament - Outrage.
Cheat in a Presidential election - No problemo.

In Hong Kong seven or eight years ago a couple of HKU mathematicians/Computer scientists came up with a program to bet horses. They could win about 60% of their bets. I have forgotten how they were caught.

Unethical people care only abut the prize money. They care nothing for any rules.

There was no hard evidence of cheating in the election just a lot of BS from crackpots like Sidney Powell.

In this case, maybe $100,000 worth of "joy"?

“In Hong Kong seven or eight years ago a couple of HKU mathematicians/Computer scientists came up with a program to bet horses.”

I don’t bet horses (especially in HK), but I don’t see how that could be cheating. That would be like saying the baseball coaches of today “cheat” by running all of the baseball stats through the computer.

And 60% isn’t much better than flipping a coin.

How is that cheating?

I see no difference between this and remembering what cards have already turned up. While Casinos ban people from using artificial aids and do what they can to prevent card counting in black jack, an ample and wide number of court decisions rightly note that card counting is not cheating but intelligent strategy. If one can do the same for horse racing, I would not see that as cheating, even if it does involve a compluter.
