I rarely watch what I wager on -- very, very rarely. I'm superstitious. If I watch the event I have wagered on, I am sure to lose. If I start to watch the game because my wager is winning, a very large moose enters the picture and drops a turd on my bet.
Luckily, I have found many mostly entertaining ways to pass the time as my sportsbook bankroll profits or plummets:
- Spending quality time with my wife and children, even if it means I am dragged to the mall...or some imaginary horror story my daughter has invented, where I must play the role of a vampire or a friendly zombie.
- I subscribe to Netflix, so I often watch a movie. I can even watch some films on my computer monitor. That way I can toggle back and forth between the movie and sports scores.
- As long as the kids are not behaving like zoo monkeys at feeding time, I love to read magazines or books. Sure the latest Playboy is tough to read with the kids around. However, that hasn't stopped me from reading some great contemporary literature, such as Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
