Interesting old thread.

If you gamble for the rush or make a game watchable just the fact money is on it.

Just bet the smallest bet as possible $1.

You're going to watch hundreds of games in the long run, if you are bad at gambling, better to lose a few dollars than thousands of dollars.

betting $1 hardly gives you a rush

Now, I've taken a long hard look at my gambling, and I honestly don't think it's a problem. I don't get a rush, I quit when I'm ahead. I cannot fathom why anyone would opt to play scratch offs, lotto, or casino table games. I see value in sports wagering, so that's what I do. I don't get that, "itch," to gamble. What's funny is, I have an addictive personality, and somehow, someway, gambling's never been an issue with me....
