Hi all

Sometimes i have wondered why people bet be it horses/dishlickers/trots/sports etc.

Is it the:
Excitement
the challenge of picking the winner
Is it emotional ( good feeling when a winner is picked)
To try and beat the experts
Is it to make money

Most people will say to make money but there actions certainly make you wonder sometimes.

Cheers
ubetido

ubetido,

To make money (well at least a small profit) isn't hard, but it is nice to do. Does require good discipline so while it may be my overall aim I think my real motivation comes from the challenge and the excitement. I pretty much do it to get bragging rights over mates.

Good Luck.

Ubetido.

The challenge and intellectual stimulation/ the moneys good too.

Cheers.

Lets face it, those who don't bet waste form guides.

1. For the shear pleasure the whole racing scene brings.
2. The challenge of winning and the thrill that provides when getting it right.
3. The money [there are a lot of easier ways to make it, so it's on the bottom here].
