Grew up actively involved in numerous sports so the enjoyment was there long before I began to gamble and is still there for all types of sports that I never put a cent on. Sports is my life's blood.

Same here. Played basketball, baseball and soccer. When I was younger I even played in whiffle ball tournaments. I love the competition aspect, that's what keeps me watching. It's actually harder for me to watch games I put money on.

I rarely watch sports. Who's got time to watch with all the capping needed to win. I do love to watch March Madness, NHL playoffs, World Cup and the Superbowl though. I'd rather watch something educational or read, with the live scores close by on my Ipad.

I'd def watch, just not the teams I know nothing about.......not to change the subject, but am I the only person that can't record a game and watch it later? I've tried many times, but just can't get into it, having phone in pocket doesn't help either. I do prefer to record golf and watch later, just not the final round

I hate to watch games that I bet on. Seeing the final score is good enough for me.

I gamble and very rarely watch a game, so if i didnt gamble then for sure i would never watch another game again. I find it boring watching other people play a sport. I would rather take part playing the sport myself.

Its the same thing with people who collect sports stuff to put on their shelves. Unless your buying something to make a profit with, why would anybody want say for example barry bonds homerun ball? Really the only person who that ball should mean something to is barry bonds. Why would i want his ball? I didnt hit the homeruns.

Yes I watch games without betting on them. To tell you the truth when I was betting big money on games i cared not to watch them. The stress was too much
