    Whole heartedly agree. I have never gambled a dime and never will. I love doing this for fun, same with fantasy football, but I'd never bet on it. It would turn my stomach far too much.

    I used to love the horse tracks and Jai Alai in South Florida but that was like $2-10 bets...nothing crazy since it was just for having fun. I've never bet on a sportsbook in my life though.

    I hate even spending money on non-tangible things that I don't get to keep/put my hands on, like concert tickets, theme parks, ext.

    You can put a lotto ticket from the gas station in your hand. :chuckle:

    I don't partake myself (and obviously shouldn't as my record indicates!!) but I think as long as you view it as a bit of harmless entertainment it's fine. Like spending a few bucks on a phone game, or splurging on the guac at chipotle. Just gotta watch that it doesn't become a problem.

    The best football pool I ever participated in while I was in the Army was at Fort Knox, KY. Sheets were due in Friday night. There was 5 college games, 5 NFL games and the Monday night game was the tie breaker….5 bucks a sheet.

    If anyone thinks picking NFL games are difficult, the college games were the worst! A “give me” was never really a give me. In the 3 years I was stationed there, I ever only remember winning once

    Lol, I don't even do that. I bought a couple of power ball tickets in my early 20s, but that's it. And I've never paid for a phone app.

    Pre covid, my wife and I would go out to eat about twice a month, but even then we'd rarely get alcohol or desert. Just food we can't make well at home.

    I make a mean peanut butter and jelly at the house, I never buy those when I go out to eat, I'll just be disappointed.

    I think that’s the first week anybody was below .500 wasn’t it?
