I always avoid betting sports as I prefer to not have a bet cloud the beauty to watching the sport.
The only sport I bet on often was horse racing as I would like seeing a horse make a strong close from the back of the pack and win by an inch or sooo.
I don't bet on sports so often anymore but still do it from time to time as it gives me more motivation and excitement to watch the game. I placed some bets for the super bowl recently and it made it more fun to watch the game as you want to win your bet. Never watched horse racing before but could be exciting to bet on it.
