Betting on a few games over the weekend is still fun, but I wouldn't do it without watching the games live. It's not as frequent as before, but it's certainly still fun to watch together.
But still, we can't deny the fact that some times, or most of the time, work and other activities may likely not allow the person to watch the match even after having placed a bet on the match, it's still fun though, but not as fun as when one stays back to watch the match from the beginning to the finish, this way, no one will have to tell you anything about the events and happenings in the match, you have first hand information on that.
Let me also say that, gambling frequently can be frustrating at times, specially when one is desperate for a win but the win isn't forth coming, it can lead to anxiety and depression, this is why its always very good to take gambling as a fun activity that one does ones in a while, I also do slot and sports betting once in a while too, and I am completely happy with my gambling habits so far.
