    Would You Watch Sports If There Were No Wagering Allowed?

    How many of you guys would actually watch a football game if you could not wager on football of any kind? Estimates are that 8.3 Billion will be wagered illegally on the Super Bowl. How many of you degerates would watch the game if that number was zero? There is a reason for my question that I will dive into when I get some responses.

    I think you are an asshole bro. But i will participate anyway with this b/c i am somewhat interested what your point is here since you rarely have a point to any of your post and i find you an interesting character... every post you make seems angry and i wonder what makes you post at all since you never have anything nice to say..

    but to answer your question... Yes I would still watch sports when given the opportunity to see an event live and in person.

    would i watch sports on tv? Fukk no. I find watching any sport boring as hell unless I have money on it.

    yeah i like the Buckeyes they have always been my favorite team even though i try hard not to have "favorites" and yeah i made a lot of money off of the Buckeyes this season. Do i think Urban Meyer or anyone that has anything to do with Ohio State cares about me ? fukk no . I know they don't. If you really think about it being a "fan" of any team is pointless. Why invest emotion in a sports team that does not even know who i am??? the only reason to ever root for a team is b/c they can help me or you out financially.

    The only team i am ever a "fan" of is the team i have money on.

    I would probably just have Phil Steele form my opinion on the subject for me.

    Would i still watch sports? Yes i would just because i love watching live TV and they make me feel apart of something.But do i get bored or have trouble actually caring who wins with out fantasy sports or having money or betpoints on the game yes i do.When you watch a game and you dont care who wins its really lame.I atleast like when i hate one team or a player ill root for them to lose it feels great when they do.

    I'd watch the super bowl if we couldn't wager. I just wouldn't really care to watch the regular season... and the NFL knows this.

    Most people grow up watching sports with no gambling. It's only once you get older and start learning the ways of the world that you get hooked on the dark side ... unless you've got degenerate parents and then well, you're running your own book at your elementary school and don't have time to watch sports because you're too busy getting BJs from 10 yr olds paying off their debts.

    I got sucked into watching sports just to win the money. For the most part I only watch sports if I have something on the line or its fantasy football season.

    I always made fun of the asshole jocks in high school (think Opie). Sports brought out the best in some people, but the worst in others.
