Sports isn’t something you just come to like, it’s something you actually grow into from time. It’s a good thing you don’t have a time to grow into it as, you can actually start liking a sport from a much later age but before that fully materializes, their have to be some level of interest towards this new thing you want to be involved with. You start by understanding how the game is played before getting to know some of its key players and you keep up with the sport, be a fan and be active at it.
It is correct that sports can be something that grows over a short time or can be grown within a short time. But it can be build up at the increasing/passing time, and people become passionate about gambling. If they are interested in gambling, then gambling can be a favourite pastime.
