Why do you bet?

[mofome]

if its to make money, what makes you think you're going to win when you play?

[Shark79]

For the pleasure ... not a big gambler ... but it feels good to predict the future

[EaglesPhan36]

50-50 shot every game you bet. That's better odds than you get with most things in life.

[Red_Sux]

it makes me feel good. does that sound bad?

[Quebb Diesel]

it makes the games 100 times more intense to watch

[durito]

Math.

I love the action and rewards that come with professional betting. I like the status I have in Newark also that comes with territory.

[jackpot269]

In the words of Hank Jr. its a family tradition!!!!!!!

Because it's cheaper than hiring a financial dominatrix.

I prefer to call it investing when I know all that I want to know about a game. Betting is for the tables where everything is truly up to chance. I also like the excitement of watching a game with some coins on the outcome. It even gets the old lady going to so we have more in common. I just tell her that the amount is about 90% less than the actual amount.

To make money, quit my job and spend my free time on myself, rather than my boss. Life is short anyway. If it wasn't to make money, then I wouldn't gamble at all. It is no fun at all being nervous everyday when your picks are in progress and aren't doing so well.

i never get those people...to pay money for someone to take money from you darwin is probably rolling over in his grave.

[Poker_Beast]

The rush at the end of the games when they are close. You all of a sudden are into a game that did not mean shit to you prior to the bet.

[Cee]

The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat

Most Men bet for action

Women bet to impress men

[Junkyard Dog]

for the action, betting on sports is just a hobby to me

[Red_Sux]

Most Men bet for action

that is just crazy talk. the only time a woman bet is when i feel she is lucky and i gave her the money to place the wager for me.

[zerocage]

2. feels good to win
3. makes the game more interested and makes me want to follow it more.

[Immortality]

Cause it makes games I would not otherwise give a shit about, enjoyable.

And the chance to win some money.

[guitarjosh]

It's a fun hobby

[thegreatdiatchi]

when i do it i'm usually in it for one of the following reasons:

1. to test myself
2. to ride with my buds to victory!!!
3. because it's part of a bigger contest i'm in

[dodif]

To make money.

[OLGC_Slayer]

Cause I'm too out of shape to actually play sports properly myself anymore. Sad but true. I still remember the rush of hitting a homerun or scoring a goal, maybe gambling is kinda replacing that a bit. I dunno.
