i am a sports fan before i am a gambler i watch sports and i bet on my predictions to amplify the entertainment and enjoyment i get from that sports i could not bet while watching a sport but it is always much more fun to look forward to the results knowing especially that you might win in the end so if your favorite team wins you are happy as a fan but you can be happier if you also win some money from betting on them
this leads me to thinking whether do people bet on sports they do not enjoy or are not a fan of? maybe there are people out there who are just really in for the money and they would bet on sports that are popular and they have a bigger chance on winning at even if they do not particularly enjoy them
personally i can't imagine having to sit and watch and analyze countless of matches of a sport i do not enjoy watching just to bet on them
what about you?
I've never been a big fan of boxing because it's so hard to tell what is staged at the highest levels these days - they put on fights that are meant to be worth hundreds of millions, so it would be very profitable for people to know the outcome one way or another. In some ways it's a glorified version of the WWE which is just a theater show really. Then there is American football, which if it was played continuously might be a more fun game to watch, but it is dragged out with all sorts of stoppage time and mid game shows, that mean there is more break time than actual play time - it really makes it rather boring. Besides that, sports where animals get hurt are ones I avoid as well - even some forms of racing can be too harsh on the animals.
