    Curious? Why do you gamble?

    Is it the lure of easy money?
    Do you like the rush?
    Makes the game on TV interesting?

    Just like to know why do you guys do this?

    is it bad that games are not entertaining unless I have money on it?

    Or is this a normal side effect of this "disease"

    The rush. I don't drink or take drugs, so this is the next best thing.

    Same here, no drinks and no smokes. Putting money on a game is my only consistent rush.

    The fact that I can make more money in 1 day than my 2 week work paycheck.

    The hope of making money even though I know I'm going to lose. Plus I can't watch most games unless I have something on it.

    you would get the same answer, it's part of being human. those that don't gamble aren't fully alive
