    My whole life I've found sports to be incredibly boring. Until recently a friend dragged me into betting on games I found watching even the Superbowl felt like a bit of a waste of time.

    When I introduce betting, the game comes alive and I can't keep myself away from looking at the score board.

    This could be just me, or do others feel this way too?

        What makes it boring is the constant TV stoppages. It's more fun TIVOing the game and skip through commercials and huddle time. You can watch a football game in 30 minutes if you skip through the garbage.

                                    Sammy is keeping it too real.

                                    Betting NFL is like throwing darts at something you love.

                                          for me as a kid i loved sports but now with espn turning into TMZ and the lack of loyalty teams and players show toward each other has really turned me off.

                                          That being said if i'm drinking and or betting on games i still like sports, but the whole key is havig a dog in the fight.

                                          i used to be a san francisco giants fan hardcore i was such a big fan i could honestly watch 2 Giants games a day and not be bored at all....

                                          but seeing how they treated Barry Bonds and how they tried to distance themselves from him when the steroid allegations came about really made me hate the Giants and hate MLB for several years.

                                          i mean the Giants would still be playing at Candlestick if it wasnt for Barry Bonds and its so disrespectful and classless for the Giants to take down his banners in left field etc....He built that ballpark!!!!

                                          fukk the Giants i will be rooting for the Pirates on Wednesday.

                                                  Soccer now is the easiest sport in the world to watch because of no interruptions

                                                  Also it's a no bullshit sport with no brothers barking up in the media booth

                                                  It's a clean sport run by whites

                                                    The only time I actually pay attention to these sports is during the World Series and World Cup.

                                                        If it isn't my team, playoffs, or Olympics, yes then I need cash on it to watch it.

                                                          there is nothing like yelling at my girl to stfu while i watch the end of an arkansas pine bluff +19.5 game and they are losing by 20 and the announcers are talking about the star of the game and the cameras are on some good player from the good team, or on the fans, etc. and i am on a totally different page concerned about if they let fukking pine bluff score a meaningless bucket but then they take a time out to discuss things and go to commercial so i go back to talking to my girl for a minute, but then oh shit here is the end of the game again, stfu stephanie i can't concentrate

                                                            does anybody actually watch a game without either a monetary or emotional (favorite team, etc.) investment?

                                                                  When I introduce betting, the game comes alive and I can't keep myself away from looking at the score board.

                                                                  This could be just me, or do others feel this way too?
