Why you don't bet on sports?? - GoFuckYourself.com

SportsBook · 04-25-2006, 07:09 AM

Is the process of betting on sports too complicated?
Are you afraid that its not legal? (and you'll get caught)
Do you question how honest the bookie is?
You never bet on anything? (so it simply doesn't interest you)

What are your other reasons?

BlackCrayon · 04-25-2006, 07:14 AM

waste of money. if it was really worthwhile for the user there would be no billion dollar industry profit from it.

I don't want to ruin my chances of getting into the Hall of Fame.

Ross · 04-25-2006, 07:17 AM

I bet now and then but I'm not into it big time. I know too many people who loose BIG on betting. I also saw a woman in a bookmakers 4 weeks ago tell a guy she needed to win some money to pay her phone bill. She had like $75 and had to get it up to $140 or more to pay her bill. By luck she did. I could never imagine myself being like that!

headless ghost · 04-25-2006, 07:20 AM

the local bookie gives much better odds and payouts.
always did.

Barefootsies · 04-25-2006, 07:24 AM

Hmmm.. let's see...

-I do not follow sports
-Nor do I gamble. This includes lotto, scratch off's, lotteries, and the rest.

For some yes a waste of money - for others they make an absolute living from gambling. Billion dollar industry - yes very true - also billions in payouts. Every business has to make money - or there is no business. Its no different than going to Vegas for a fun and some gambling on the side.

Sosa · 04-25-2006, 08:58 AM

i bet from time to time. My local place is going through some shit though since people ran off without paying. So I'm gonna have to signup to a new place.

for most, its a waste of money. its obvious more lose than win all the time, if you paid out what you brought in, that simply wouldn't work. i doubt even .5% of gamblers make a living off it besides people like yourself, bookies, etc. yes vegas is not much different, although at least you get a bit more than watching your tv at home hoping to god you don't lose your ass on your bet.

Doctor Dre · 04-25-2006, 12:19 PM

lol
The house got people on the payroll to tell them if the guy drank last night, when he takes a piss, eat and stuff like that... no way you can beat the house overall unless you're a half god.

Sarah_Jayne · 04-25-2006, 12:21 PM

I could just flush my money down the toilet instead.

baddog · 04-25-2006, 12:25 PM

I prefer to bet on things I have some control over.

madawgz · 04-25-2006, 12:35 PM

because i seem to loose all my money

SportsBook · 04-25-2006, 12:44 PM

Great feedback guys.

So do you see any distinction in betting on sports and lottery, slot machines, poker, or the other forms of gaming?

What is the worst and what is the best for ability to play, have fun and win?

Scott McD · 04-25-2006, 04:56 PM

I bet all the time.

I enjoy it. Sometimes i win, sometimes i lose. Shit happens.
I bet on soccer matches every weekend, plus a few other sports on odd ocassions.

Recently i've been addicted to playing the Roulette machine they have in the bookies...

Varius · 04-25-2006, 05:26 PM

I would love ot bet on some hockey, but none of the online sportsbooks I found deal in epassporte (some take deposits as it's a creditcard number, but none can withdraw to it that i found.)

If one of them did use ePassporte, then I'd probably make some bets on the Playoffs

I do bet on sports - in a different way. I already made a killing on bookie stocks...

I don't gamble anymore but when I did I took an old card players advice..."never bet on anything that shits." It was cards and dice only for me. The odds stay consistant.

I just don't like wasting my money on gambling. Isn't that reason enough?

mattz · 04-25-2006, 07:52 PM

Because I don't watch/follow sports at all

I will watch football once in awhile when the time comes though.

1. Betting on anything is for losers.
2. Sports are the most boring fucking thing on Earth.

I usually bet on the super bowls but not much else...

Why not? Just curious is there anything that would make you more interested in betting more often?

Gambling is a losing proposition except for the house.

The money is in booking the bets or running the casino skim.

For the majority yes.. but there is the fun factor for many.
They play for fun - win or loose.

There is a limited number that make a damn good living gambling full time.

fuzebox · 04-27-2006, 09:58 PM

I don't follow any sports so never had an interest. I am an avid gambler however...

Exactly

To be quite honest regarding the typical sports book margins - they are not as large as most people assume.
