You should have added because it's fun, I won't get rich and if I didn't have some free time I would not do it. But I simply enjoy having an interest on a game.

If I really knew this answer I think I could probably have over 100k back in my accounts, a healthy liver, and a longer life expectancy

It's fun and it's an adrenaline rush. It also satisfies my need for competition. I find a lot of gamblers are very competitive by nature.

Because it's better than waking up 5:00 and going to a 8 hour job.

These reasons have changed throughout my life, if I had all the money in the world I'd still gamble....

Used to be to make money in contest, neteller, buyin bonus days.. Could win lots of money breaking even...

Have no clue what I'm doing nowadays, maybe it gives me a break from the wife.

The main reason I like to have some $$ on a game is the same reason a lot of people do. It simply makes the games more fun. It's just a shame that the Commish doesn't wake up and realize that a big part of the NFL's popularity is because fans have $$ on the games. Why would I care what happens when the Jags play Tampa Bay ? Perhaps I have a wager on the game or I'm in some sort of contest. Otherwise I'd rather be going fishing or taking in a Movie etc.

It has devolved into:

1. I want to make additional money to buy some nice items

2. I want to get the money back so I can start on a clean slate.

3. It is hopeless and will resort to just betting peanuts for fun.
