Why Do We Bet???
1. Addicted to gambling?
2. Realizing some incredible profits?
3. Cheaper than an illegal drug habit?
What's the reasoning behind your online gambling activities?

It's a second income that I don't have to leave the house for, and it leaves me enough time to focus on my real job.
The love of sports.
The love of statistics.
The action.

I've always loved sports but now it's got to the point where I don't even care about the games unless I have money on them, sad city.

I've always loved sports and stats so gambling just adds to it...making it even more interesting. Hopefully some day I can use it as an additional source of income.

1. because money has no value to me. i dont spend a lot of money buying stuff. not becase im frugal, but because material things just dont do anything for me.
2. its a distraction to my life. i am such a pessamist in real life and gambling is the one aspect in life where i feel like things can go my way. its an escape

Because we're made in the image of God, the Supreme Gambler.
Verily, if He were otherwise inclined, He would not have created man.

shady I will always appreciate your honesty. With so many people on the internet living a fake life it's a breath of fresh air to read your honest posts.

I agree its always nice to hear "real" stories from people. I like the truth and I dislike fake people.... You think there are a lot of people living fake life here on these forums IMGV? If so... who? And not to get on your case or anything but do you think you may be one of them?

man it's too late for this but i'll try.. a lot of people on the internet try to act like something they're not. This is a known fact especially on anonymous forums like this one. Whats more common people bragging about how much money they have or people claiming they dont have much? People going around claiming to be sharps or people going around claiming to be novices? This is common sense

How could that be? I've met 100s of people on these forums and have to talked to many here on the phone.. Your question makes no sense whatsoever..
Very weird question.. very weird

Most bet and use it as a drug or doing it to mask other problems in life, I think that goes for 80% here.

Because its the only reason I can stand to watch tv, I pretty much only wager on games I can watch.
