I'm not really a gambler, but I'll bet on the Super Bowl or some boxing. Something I feel comfortable with.
Relatively, a very small percentage of betting takes place on hockey and even baseball because of the nature of the game and the scoring.

Never bet on baseball.
I love being a punter.
Persons whose wagers depend upon how particular selected athletes perform in actual sporting events stand in no different stead than persons who wager on the outcome of any sporting event in which they are not participants.
There is always room for losers in the football business. They are the mother's milk of gambling, and why not? Somebody has to do it, or there won't be any winners.

I bet on baseball in 1987 and 1988.
I lay 11-10 because I know the bookie needs that 5 percent that I give him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make a living and go down to Florida with his family.
I don't believe bookmakers.
I play football, that's what I do, and people can bet on me if they want to, and if they don't, then their loss. Then they don't get a share of the wealth.
I can't remember, I wish I could remember the first time I bet on baseball.
Delaware is the only state east of the Rockies that is allowed under federal law to offer sports betting.
