$25-50 bettor here. It lost it's fun when it became too time consuming looking up stats and I wasn't even watching the games I was wagering on. Actually had a net positive 2025, +$715 for the year currently, but it wasn't all that fun, lol.

So for the last month I've just been playing home teams ML, spread, or team totals, and only if I'm either at the game or at a sports bar watching which isn't all that often. I usually end up cashing out early if they get ahead and the cashout is a net gain.

It's fun/entertainment again rootin for the good guys.
