Would you rather watch a great game with no money on it, or a bad game with money on it?

CHOPTALK · Dec 28, 2012

Do you enjoy watching a tremendous game with no money on it like the SEC championship game or a great NC game?
Or do you find it more enjoyable to watch a boring game like this INDY bowl with money on the line?

Does the fact that you have money on the line make a bad game more enjoyable then a good game with money on the line?

Gambling can make a game of go fish fun...

I'd rather watch a great game between two outstanding well balanced teams that play excellent well coached football. I love watching well played games in most sports even if I don't have money on the line.

I use to love NFL, watched it all day no betting, no fantasy ect.... now I am bored unless I have something on it, even fantasy... I would truly say that gambling has ruined the 'love of the game"

Yeah umm.....Sadly not sure I can answer this the way I want to. $ gonna winout....

It isn't even totally about the $ though, it is about having an opinion, analytically breaking it down, wanting to be right, etc....

This is exactly what the Books want. Guiys who have to have something on every televised game. Rarely do these guys come out ahead at the end of the season. For every winner at the end of the season, there are 4 losers. To me, and to many people that I know that gamble and run books, gambling is a business. I am in it for one thing and one thing only. Money. I would much rather see a great game and have nothing on it. I love hockey. I love to wach the game. Rarely will I wager on it because it takes the fun out of the game for me. Most of the time when I wager on a football game, I will not even bother towatch it, unless I am watching the Red Zone on Sundays and can see all of the games at once.

be hard to watch a game without a bet on it

seanm0520 · Dec 28, 2012

If it's not a Philadelphia game or a playoff baseball game, I rarely watch a game I don't have action on.

vinny4 · Dec 28, 2012

I have to have something on it to make interesting.

Yea, this is me.

I would watch a race between 2 cockroaches, if I had money on it, over any sporting event that I didn't have money on.

The best thing in life is winning a bet on a game..
The second best thing is losing a bet on a game....

I sometimes feel this way. I can still occasionally find a game where I enjoy the match-up and want to just watch the game. On games like this, I have to purposely avoid having action on it as it prevents me relaxing just enjoying the game.

bad game with money on it, have already done just that many a time

Any game is a good game when you have action.

KingofNicotine · Dec 29, 2012

The only way a game is good to me is if it's a playoff game and I team I like is winning. I'd take that over watching a bad game with money on it.

great game without money.. if you answered otherwise than you are just a sick gambler and the stuff your friends and family are saying about you are true.
