    Lets talk about the Positives of Sports Betting...
    NO NEGATIVITY in this thread.



    Here's one:

    Sports betting has made me more aware of sales when I'm shopping and I'm always trying to get this best "line" or price. Hate when I pay full price for something, its like betting on a line thats 30c worse but you still take it.

    Easy money when you understand the difference between sports-investing and sports-betting; cash on the side is a plus ANY day

        There it is. Why I started fantasy football in college. Turned into small action wagers and loved watching sports. win win in my book.

        Only expect +ev return on my mma. Other than that, it's strait action and fun.

            The hope that one day very soon my life will evolve around sitting in sports books a couple of hours a day watching sports and making money. Sounds simple and boring, but I wouldn't rather do anything else.

              If done the right way, it teaches you to detach your heart from your money.

                          There are no positives

                                    I don't do any drugs... I drink, but no weed, heroin, cocaine, etc.

                                    Betting sports gives me a high that I don't think could be achieved by anything other than a very powerful drug. I love the rush that I get from it.

                                              You can wager on things and you can go out and have a good time without watching the games, unlike other ways of gambling where you have to be at a table playing
