When Did You Stop Calling Yourself a 'Sports Fan' and Start Calling Yourself a 'Bettor'?

[FadeThePublic]

Weird question that hit me recently: when did I stop being a "Browns fan who bets" and become a "bettor who happens to follow the Browns"?

Like there was a shift somewhere. I used to define myself by my team loyalty. Now I define myself by my betting approach.

When did sports fandom become secondary to betting for you guys? Or has it?

This question makes me uncomfortable because I know the answer.

I'm a Michigan alum. Used to bleed maize and blue. Now I bet against Michigan regularly when the line is wrong.

The moment I could bet against my own team without hesitation was when I knew I'd crossed over.
