Who is saying bet $1000s?
I missed that..
Every so often I bet $60 on a treble or a yankee.
The key is don’t bet what you can’t afford to lose. Not everyone is a control freak or at risk of spiraling into depravity and selling everything they own having made one stupid bet. So whilst I can appreciate some people can’t touch betting like it’s a hot stove, many of us adults can make informed decisions and make a small bet in order to enhance the excitement of the fights.
For instance, I bet on Lutz, Burgos and Chandler last night. Lutz came in, if he hadn’t I wouldn’t have stayed up until 4am but I’m glad I did because the Burgos fight was incredible regardless of the outcome I felt I had got my money’s worth.
I guess some people just cannot lose without it hurting them somehow, possibly a pride thing. I’m fairly well adjusted so once I’ve made my bet I kiss goodbye to the money and if something comes back then that’s a bonus. It’s called maturity.
