Do you agree that sports betting has more staying power than other games?

As long as there are sport events, there would always be sports gambling and sports have been around for the longest times and even higher educational institutions build most of their programs around sports. So it's old yet very fundamental.

What do you think keeps it popular, and if you bet on sports yourself, what’s the main reason you do it?[/li][/list]

I bet on sports because I enjoy the game. Aside from the fun side of it, I also do it for the bragging rights and making money off my knowledge of something I genuinely enjoy seemed like a no-brainer so I kept at it. I'm not a big fan of casino games but sports betting has been my forte and it would continue to be for the foreseeable future.

That is true. As long as there is sports, any kind of sports, sportsbetting will continue. Some sports may become obsolete or will stop permanently, but I don't think sports will stop. Because that's part of human life already. It would be too dull and boring if sports is eradicated in our history. So yes, as long as there is sports, sportsbetting will be there.
Just think of the fact that a lot of popular personalities are athletes from different sports, the reason why sports are popular across the globe. Somehow, people are rooting for at least one or two athletes of their chosen sports.
On the note of betting, I only bet if I am rooting for certain athlete/s. And I have good feeling about the game. Otherwise, I just watch and wait for the results of the game.
