I've only bet once in my life, 5-6? years ago when it was the Iggles and Pats in the Superbowl. My neighbor asked me, and I went with the Pats for $20. I lost, but I didn't care about the money.
It changed the whole way I watched a football game. It was all different and I didn't like it; I just enjoy watching the actual game and who does what. With money involved it ruined all that.
It's the same reason I hate watching a game at a bar; nobody gives a shit what's going on unless *your* team scores. I want all the details of the play, flags, whatever, which isn't possible to get in a bar. It's even worse being in the stadium.
