    What is more exciting to you?
    The lead up of capping the games or actually watching/following the games? I have this theory that there are only 2 types of gamblers out there. One is the type of gambler that just wants to have some action on something he can watch/follow and the other is the type that lives to handicap the games and test himself to see if he can find errors in potential lines. The latter typically doesn't care if he can't get a live stream to watch his play and only cares about what happens compared to what he projected to happen.

      This is not me.

      I'm far past this. The markets aren't always as efficient as many think and generating vanilla plays against it happens often for me. Often my task is to weed out the losers. If anything, I live for the patient moments where the market is really out of whack. It can be tough to anticipate but is obvious when it arrives. Patience and discipline are virtues there.

      At this point, I'm a type of gambler you didn't mention...I treat it purely as a business.

        Like handicapping, its just time consuming. Always trying to find ways to make it shorter.

            I typically don't watch the games I bet, too stressful.

            Usually just like to check in the late 4th qtr or so to see if the results match when I want.

                I can't imagine how people don't watch the games. To me it's entertainment.

                  To me, it's business.
