I bet, occasionally, for fun. I don't bet enough money to make it really interesting, because if I did and I lost I would be sick.
You can't compare sports betting to the casino's predetermined house edge... Sportsbooks structure their payouts to take a small comission for taking the bet, they don't care who wins or loses.

Edit: just noticed I won. Cheers BP Nice meeting you in Vegas.
