Betting Methodology, Pt 2

To choose our football picks for next week, we played Tic-Tac-Toe via iChat. Here it is:

	dude
	hey
	hey so how should be we do this
	describe the area, like middle top x
	etc
	yeah
	sorry, I have to run for a bit though
	things suddenly got busy
	ok draw a tic tac toe board
	ok later
	realy quick
	I was thinking we just draw on a piece of paper
	one of us starts, they are x
	so i would say "x in top middle"
	right
	then you would say "o in bottom right"
	etc
	got it
	we alternate who is x and who is o every other game
	and who starts?
	x
	x always starts?
	ok
