My sentiments exactly!
Unlike most of the posters here...I will bet on practically anything that I see potential profit in. Horses, sports, poker, and even certain casino games, are all on my wagering menu. And the only reason I avoid the financial markets - bitcoin notwithstanding - is because "long term" to me is three hours instead of three years. The horses are the toughest game in town to beat, IMO...and I consider a flip of a card or a roll of the dice to be just as "exciting" as any horse race. And just as "interesting" as well. It isn't the
particular gambling game that is "interesting" or 'exciting'...IMO. Like castaway says...it's whether or not the bettor is primarily "profit-motivated".
Before I started betting baseball...I considered this game to be so boring that it was painful for me to watch it on TV. But once I started betting on it...I was fixated on every pitch of every slow-moving pitcher.
