I rarely bet on games anymore (haven't in the past year or 2) but still watch sports. But NOWHERE near as much as before. Hell when I was betting heavy I spent way to much watching them live or on my phone.

With a busy family I can't remember how I had the time to do it.

Absolutely. I love sports gambling just enhances the experience.

I was watching sports long before I started gambling, so yes I would still watch. I definitely watch more sporting events now that I don't have money on than I do. I watch golf all the time but very rarely will I place a wager on it.

I have basically stopped wagering on sports. I barely watch anything but the NFL/CFB. How people watch sports without gambling is beyond me.

I watch hundreds of games I don't have a single bet on.. even during gambling breaks I watch games... I am pretty sure I am a sports nut with or without a bet or even a bet at some point that week. :toast:

Nope. I'm not a fan of sports to begin with unless it's the playoffs. I always thought watching other men play games was boring. Nothing wrong with playing sports yourself but watching is boring.

If you like sex, which would you rather do? Watch porn or have sex? lol

like 90% less. I'd still watch but without the need to analyze anything there just wouldn't be much to follow.

Definately still watch sports if I didn't bet on games. Been watching sports way before I started betting on games.

No where near as much. I would only watch my 3 or 4 favorite teams in CFB and CBB. I would never watch an NFL or NBA game. And I sure as hell would never watch a WAC football game on a Tuesday night.

I would still watch just as much football and baseball but probably not nearly as much basketball.

I would only watch the teams I follow (miami dolphins, hawaii college) and outside of that, games that have some media hype (i.e miami heat until they lose, important matchups)

Grew up actively involved in numerous sports so the enjoyment was there long before I began to gamble and is still there for all types of sports that I never put a cent on. Sports is my life's blood.
