I have a confession to make. I don't gamble, so my previous post was a lie. :/

To each his own. And I'm definitely in it to make money - it just helps that it's also fun. We each have a different idea of "recreational value." If I break even over a football season, I say I really came out on top given the recreational value gambling gives me. This is helped by the fact that the monetary value is low enough to where, if I lose it all, it's not like it will cancel Christmas for us.
Plus I think there's some egotistical satisfaction to "being right" about sports.

I just dont see the point in gambling on sports unless youre in it to make money. The whole 'it makes it more exciting' reason they do it is kinda lame

I dunno, makes me feel like a big shot when I cash out a >$5k ticket at a Vegas casino. It's a huge rush when you win a bet.
Of course it wouldn't make sense to someone that doesn't enjoy gambling.

You'd be surprised what people do for kicks. The thrill of gambling is not even among the most esoteric.

It's all tied together. IT's exciting because money is on the line. Whether it is a lot, or a little.
