I like your NASCAR analogy here TP. You're not far off the mark. If you think about it: Every NASCAR team pays an entry fee to each race. That money, plus some added money, is then given out as prize money at the end. Kinda like a 43-person tourney. Essentially the drivers ARE gambling: paying a sum of money for a chance to win a larger amount of money after competing in an event where chance comes into play.
