When your sitting in a sportsbook...........

do you bet a game just cause it's on tv late or just watch it.I mean when college hoops are going on there are games all night long and im just wondering how many people are forced into betting on the game on tv just cause they are sitting there.

Why would they "just" be sitting there? Is it because they lost their ass on the gaming floor or they are just taking a break? I would think degens would bet a game because it's late and on tv more than anything else but not some random "just" sitting there.

but what im trying to say is,if you never had any interest in it before it came on would you bet it just cause its on tv or not,im not talking about if people lost at the tables and came in the book to try a game out

My answer to your amended question is no. Personally a decision to put out money for a game has never come down to if it's on tv or not. Whether I watch or not, the results are going to be the same. I know that's contrary to popular belief lol.

I would venture that others would degen and bet some amount, sit there and watch it, I am likely not in the norm range here.
