I have not made any effort to intentionally not watch, but I've come to the conclusion that I've basically watched no sports since Jan when I pulled out my money.

I watched about 1/4 of the opening rounds of the NCAA tourney and watched all the OSU games, but I fell asleep during one quarterfinal and during the UCLA/FL game. I have not watched an NBA game in months - caught the end of Cle/Mia the other night cause it was on at a bar I was at. I haven't seen a baseball game yet this year. Tried turning the masters on today, but was only interested for about 10 minutes. And most unsual, sportscenter used to run 4-5 times/day in my apt. I've prob watched it twice in 2 months. And most unusual, I have not been to a sporting event since the Miami Heat finals last year.

In past years, I would watched every NCAA tourney game, the masters in its entirety, and 3-4 NBA games/night.

I'm actually considering turning off my satellite till next Sept.

As long as I'm not betting, I figure I'll watch OSU, Patriots and Browns games, and maybe a little Heat or Cavs in the playoffs, but that is about it - and I used to prob watch 80-100+ hours/week.

I work from home so LOVE the daytime baseball action last week.

I love daytime baseball. It helps because there's usually NOTHING on during the day and at least I have something intersting to follow. Whether I bet on it or not.

I've been spending a lot more time on the bike and at the beach, so that's a good thing. Gambling gets you out of shape.

I sleep 4-7 hours/ night - usually about 5. Usually about 1AM-6AM ro 6:30. I've never been big on sleep. Every once in a while I'll catch up with a 12-14 hour night.

And no, I am not burnt out. My bankroll is actually at about 94% of its max. I elected to withdraw in December due to perceived risk.

It was possible for many to win with neteller.
It was harder without neteller when you only had to avoid scam books.
It is nearly impossible now when even good books may not be able to pay even when they want to do so. It doesnt do you any good to make 30-40% at 20 books if over the year 4-5 collapse or get shut down..

Mr. Smarto, thanks for your useless and worthless and misleading opinion.
