I'm surprised you didn't get more answers. I'm a super casual sports bettor, I bet very rarely, small amounts and my only aim it to increase my enjoyment of watching a sporting event that I care about, but most of my poker friends dabbled in sports betting and a good number of them were at least somewhat passionate about it. My old poker buddy is also into horse racing lately which strikes me as a bit strange, to be honest. Isn't horse racing more on a gambly side of the spectrum as far as sports betting goes?

Horse racing is definitely high variance! I find it quite fun and relaxing reading the morning paper studying form whilst having my breakfast. I love football betting and will bet every weekend pretty much. Even in the off season im still finding profitable markets.

Me and a friend completed a £20 to £1000 challenge. The money was good and it was fun looking at the different bets. Our final single was around £640 on Sheffield Wednesday to beat Ipswich. It was great fun and we will definitely be doing it again in the new season.

Didn't see this earlier, would have replied. I like betting small amounts just for enjoyment but I'm always looking for +Ev situations. The issue with major sports is that is usually well priced so we can't make any money on it unless there's such a big public favorite that the line gets skewed. I used to be more involved in going against the public when the line would move, especially in college basketball even though I can't stand the sport. That was nice but with 2-3% ROI on 1.91 odds you need huge volume and the swings can be nasty.

For the past 2 years I've been working on a system for hockey betting. Nothing crazy, I just specialized in betting on if a goal will be scored or not during the first 10 minutes of play. My ''system'' basically tells me if the line seems to be correctly set or not, it's really a spreadsheet where I input some numbers and get some averages and predicted ROI. It's high variance but profitable so far. I'm just using a simple 1, 2 or 3 unit betting system and I like it. I'd be happy to share some tips come next hockey season, always nice to share winning bets.

Not sure if that's accurate or not but I like having my accounts on poker sites having a history of betting and maybe playing a hand of blackjack here and there when they offer +Ev bonuses, feels like I get better customer service when they see I'm not just a poker player.
