    Sign in if you cant watch sports without having Action???

    Anybody else like this?

    Is this the sign of a serious problem?

    Honestly I get bored out of my mind watching sports
    if i dont have money on it. It doesnt matter who is playing or what sport.

    I used to have favorite teams but now i have conditioned my self to
    not have any favorite teams so that i can handicap objectively...

    gambling should be an added bonus to your love for sports...not the other way around...unless of course you're professional gambler and you make a living off of betting 24/7...and even then I think you gotta first love watching sports

    I could watch sports without having money on the games. I could watch Alabama play LSU, the Seahawks play the 49ers, and hopefully see the Ravens kick the Steelers ass every single weekend of my life.

    But, there are some games that I would only watch if I had action on them. The Bucs vs Dolphins game will be torture to watch, but if I can make money off of it I will at least watch some of it.

    I have the NFL ticket just for Fantasy football. But then again my league revolves around money every week.

    I can't watch it when I'm in action. Just too stressful. I usually just check the score at the 11 PM news and hope my boys won/covered.

    ur one of the first people I have seen say this . I agree 100%

    Outside of Castro's Cardinals I refuse to have any fave teams.

    It really can distort your handicapping ability.

    I can watch sports without money on it . I do a lot.

    But just the same... as im watching those games and my team is winning im always thinkin

    damnt i shoulda pulled the trigger on this one.
