We're all different, personally if I can't watch live for whatever reason I just avoid finding out what the result is, that way for me it feels like it's live anyway. Granted it was a lot easier to maintain my ignorance when I was living overseas, nothing worse than finding out the result beforehand, well nothing except finding out beforehand that it was a loss!With tipping comps, luck can only take you so far. You can possibly jag a comp by winning it, but you wont do that year after year though. Well thats from what I have seen in footy comps.
So you dont watch Crows games live? I simply have to watch the game live or I dont bother with it at all usually.
Drink, smoke and/or drugs are a no for me. So Foxtel is something that I dont consider about getting. Mind you the price of $50 is low compared to the packages that can go up to $130 per month. Not sure how anyone can justify that. Even if you earn there is better and smarter ways to watch movies and TV at your convenience.
