    If you didnt bet on games... would you still watch sports?

    I could watch a grass hopper race if i had money on it
    and be glued to the tv...

    But if i dont have action on a game i just can't get excited about a game.

    Anyone else have a hard time watching a game if you dont have money on it?

    I started betting because I watched so much sports. Still a huge sports fan. Season ticket holder for the Seattle Seahawks and Sounders for years. I'll watch any game just because tho.

    if the answer to this question is no then you shouldn't be gambling. I gamble because I love sports. If you're putting money on a game because it is on tv and you can't watch it without having money on it then you probably aren't gambling to make money anyway.

    well i dont consider my self an action junkie. I do look for angles and
    my goal is to make money , its not that i just enjoy having action.

    i dont disagree with that. Sometimes i just absolutely love a side on a certain game but i know there is no way
    i will be able to watch it... in years past i would have passed up on it but i vowed never to allow not being able to watch a game to prevent me from betting it.

    i'm just saying like this weekends NFL League Championships
    i seriously dont think i would be able to watch them if i dont have money on them.

    with all the commercial breaks and stuff unless i'm drinking or have action on it there is no way i can sit and watch a 4 hour game..

    Yes of course, as much as now.
    I only bet on sports that I am interested in.
    Doesn't mean I watch all the games I have action on. I watch the games I like to watch and often these are games that were not worth a bet.

    see i hear a lot of people saying watching baseball is boring
    but i think baseball is one of the more exciting games to watch "if you have money on it".

    I watch tennis all the time and most matches I have no money on. I like sports in general but gambling makes it better.

    I probably dont watch a second of over 80% of the games I wager on either especially because I bet alot of unders. No point in scoreboard watching either its simply not good for a persons health. Make the bet, check halftime score, and check the sccore once again when the game is over.

    I think thats half the reason people f@ck up there bank roll,once they see there teams blowing it they panic and try to chase there losses, and if that team makes a comeback youve screwed yourself.

    Other way around for me.

    I watch sports regardless; betting on it enhances the experience.

    I'd watch less sports, but what is this "quit watching sports"?

    How'd you go about doing that? What the hell are you going to do, read a book, watch some Trailer Park Boys? Live sports are great drama.

    You can't just quit watching sports.
