What percentage of your wagered games do you watch?

I think 20% may be on the high side. Somwehere between 15 and 20%. And of that 15 to 20%, most of those games are only partial watches. I can't remember the last college football game I watched from start to finish. Probably the national title game last year. Baseball? Used to watch a lot more games but the 3 outcome approach is destroying the game. NBA was never a percentage, esp in regular season. College bball probably the highest % of full games watched. NFL probably in second.

Between falling asleep on the late games and the combination of games airing on multi-channels and surfing, I would say for me about 20-25% overall. During the week I am more selective, so that percentage is factored in slightly higher than on weekends.

If that

I rarely watch because I can't control what happens. Once I make a play on the game my work is over. I'll do some work. Or go out and do something. No need to suffer over what might happen - even if I win. And after all I have gone thru in 2019 the last thing I want to do is sit around and watch TV (or follow online). I am one of the very lucky ones. I got a rare second chance at life and now I fully plan on taking advantage of it

I couldn't put a percentage on it, but I typically don't watch the games I have action on, it's too stressful for me, I would rather watch a game that one of my favorite teams is playing in than one I have money on, or I'll watch another big game, and when I do watch a game I'm financially involved with, I usually won't watch the entire game

When I was a kid and just started betting, I would get the TV Guide and write down all the TV games on that night and would try to bet all of them, things are much different for me nowadays

Back in the day, the 80's and 90's on a Saturday AM, I would go into the Reno Hilton (now GSR) and watch 6 CBB games at a time on their big screens. Somewhere around 30-35 games total for a Saturday.

Now much, much less at home.

I watch about two full games a year live. I DVR everything else involving my favorite teams but I'd never watch a game I bet. If I was a live bettor or did things consistently maybe I'd watch more games but I think occasionally watching a game is a disaster for betting the games later on.

The only time I dont watch the whole game is when I bet the UNDER! but then I tune it in for the 2nd half

With unders, I hardly ever watch the second half. Nothing worse than watching foul-a-rama destroy a seemingly certain under, or watching a terrible bullpen completely blow up to destroy an under. But the worst of all has to be the last play of the game lateralling nonsense we saw that pushed the Atlanta/SF game over a week ago.

I enjoy following play by play much more than watching. I very rarely watch a game I have $ on, unless its close in the last minute or 2 in college basketball. that’s for football and basketball. I watch a lot of my tennis bets.. easier to watch
