I am in it for the excitement too. I get a real buzz out of a win, obviously the losses are not so great, but over time I am learning also.

As Knowledge said, I love sport and having a bet on the side adds a little extra incentive to either attend some of the games we bet on or watch them on the idiot box. At the very least keep an eye on the results or follow the live scores on the internet.

Sports I love are: Rugby League, Rugby Union, Soccer, AFL, Cricket, Snowboarding and Skiing, Moto GP, F1, Golf, Tennis, Basketball, Gridiron.

I used to play league, cricket and soccer when I was younger, I have always had a love for motorbikes and grew up around them and riding them, I still play golf, tennis ocassionally and may continue snowboarding next year (I will have to see how the leg heals after a major break in July this year).

Anyway I am starting to waffle on a bit.

So I will finish up by saying: Enjoy the bet you have and rate your win/loss according to the circumstances leading to the result. You are not in control of anything other than placing your bet. Be aware of this and you will enjoy it!
