It helps me to relieved stress because I'm playing gambling with my friends and that's a good thing for me even I'm losing so much money at gambling i can still have a fun and entertainment through it and most likely to have fun when I'm winning because I could treat myself better than losing. Gambling is not a sin it's a hobby.
I agree with you, match can be interesting when you bet on it. Watching a match is sometime boring when you don't have your Favorite players play but the mere moment when you place a bet on the match the match itself becomes favorite.
Football or cricket so many happening are previously fixed only before getting inside the ground. It may interest to bet in these and watch the till last moment to find the winning face.
But it is better than casino by loading our money in insta seconds. This is easy to predict instead waiting for luck.
