like above posters if your doing it for fun its all good advantages. You
get a rush. You definitely get better at math. The better you get at gambling
you get better at spotting trap lines. You get hours of enjoyment even
with a $20 bet. Last time I went to the movies and spent $20 the movie
sucked and there was 0% I would win $20 instead of losing it.
I dunno, I always found it rather nerve racking when you're trying to close a big bet or a parley (which on a side note is actually more inefficient than straight bets) and it's so tight it comes down to the final couple of minutes. Honestly, I can't handle the pressure - so I rarely watch the actual matches unless I'm interested in them anymore.
