Other than boxing what is your favourite sport?
What is it?
I love nearly every sport so not taking part.
Could only do 10, so state if yours is anything not listed.
Note that I have included the main American sports too as I am a cosmopolitan type.
Re: Other than boxing what is your favourite sport?
Voted football but hate the diving and the players being overpaid pricks.
I like Tennis and Athletics.

I remember the 2012 Olympics when @Memphis had to have a go at me for ruining it with my stats and probability statistics.

So that's why you left. He has a habit of chasing people away.
Re: Other than boxing what is your favourite sport?
I voted football (the American kind), and I see I'm tied for first. ;D
Should take a snapshot of that since it'll probably last as long as a teenage boy having sex for the first time.
Re: Other than boxing what is your favourite sport?
I love the F1, that would have to be my second fave after boxing, I do watch football but I fucking despise it as a sport these days, I only go down to watch the Villa because I have got a free season ticket.

F1 fan is it Batman? Let's talk. Love it. Went 15 years without missing a race until about 2010. Lost something for me now, but still love it.

Except the Villa bit.
HARK NOW HEAR THE WEDNESDAY SING!
Re: Other than boxing what is your favourite sport?
Voted football (what we call soccer here). Watched MMA when Fedor was at the top of the sport ten years ago.
I used to like baseball and hockey, I followed both closely as a boy in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As an adult in the 1980s I attended a lot of hockey and baseball games in Detroit and Toronto.
I've never been a football (American) or basketball fan.

I don’t remember this? I remember the foolproof later stages tennis bet you have and I remember having a pretty decent hex on Leyton Hewitt during one major. Had the poor fucker beat within minutes of giving him my backing.

Yeah that tennis bet was printing money back in the day when the big 4 would get to every semi.
I think it was you with the Olympics. 'Had a go' is overstating it, it was all in good humour. It was just every time we'd win a gold or something I'd say 'but we were supposed to win gold in the double skulls so we are now 1.5 golds behind schedule'.

Snooker. I pretty much follow every single comp and love betting on it more than any other sport.
Also I'll give the Nags a shout because the Cheltenham festival is the greatest time of the year.

Snooker I like - find it meditative. I used to be a big Ebdon fan back in the day when he used to go mental ;D.
Horse racing I got into a couple of years ago. Trying to get back out of it now though ;D. Had a really good run from January to Cheltenham last year and won close to 20k. Then from about May to December lost all of it plus a fair bit more. I can't sustain that so trying to go cold turkey. Though part of me thinks 'January til Chelts is my time'.

Peter Ebdon? The slowest and most boring player on the planet.

Bad boy of snooker with his pony tail and shouting 'come on!' at the end of frames. It used to appall my granddad which made it fun for me.
