I don’t know anyone that does it every week, much less multiple times, but a buddy of mine does it once a month. He’s way the hell out in the 'burbs so I don’t go, but he’s done it for 20 years. I know other guys that do something similar. The younger set seems to have moved to video games, playing basketball and football games for money.
