Once I went to a  local film hall to watch a live match. The match was fun and very enjoyable, but what triggered a higher kind of fun that changed the whole atmosphere of the environment was that people began to place bets among themselves on what would happen next. There were lots of laughters, wins and losses as well, but in all, everyone went home happy.

Betting spices up sports. Take betting away from sports now and some people would lose interest in sports.
