How much less would you watch sports?

What percentage?

I would think 25% would be a high estimate.

i'd probably only have 1 tv in my living room as opposed to 3.. i don't think i'd have sunday ticket, nhl centre ice or mlb extra innings... i'd say 80-95% less sports..

I would still watch alot of games, but I think gambling has reduced my fevor for my favorite teams. If you don't bet, you can only think and root for your team or other teams that may benefit your team. But if you gamble, there are times, probably several if not many, where you bet against your own team, therefore reducing that feel you once had.

I watched and participated in sports long before I ever began gambling. I will always watch because you're always bound to see something that you have never seen before.

Having money on a game makes it much more interesting to watch but I have never bet on my favorite teams because I like to root for them regardless of potential financial gain.

First you have to ask yourself why am I watching this game? I dont watch games that I consider boring. I may have a wager on a game that is not covered in my area.. I no longer have direct Tv, so no NFL NBA NHL NCAA packages for me. I would not be here and spend less time on the internet.

Without gambling who would spend more time at the strip clubs?

Thats a better question...:toast:

A quarter less. I love baseball and would watch, b/c I don't like betting bases anyway. NFL I love, and horse racing is great to me even races I haven't bet. The action is great, though.
