If Sports Became Completely Predictable Tomorrow (100% Accuracy), Would You Still Watch Them?

[Klaus]

Philosophical question: is rational analysis superior to emotional fandom?

Both perspectives defensible.

 

[oli_sussex]

Rational superior for profit.

Emotional superior for enjoyment.

Different values, different outcomes.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

I want both!

I want to love my team AND make smart bets!

Is that possible??

 

[SharpEddie47]

Princess most of us thought that too.

But over time the betting side consumes the fandom side.

You might be the exception but probably not.

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

Harsh but probably true Eddie.

The analytical mindset crowds out the emotional connection.
