Take game-watching to a new level with these protips.
1. Go to a bar
It's hard to sit on the sidelines when you're in an environment where everyone is a sports fan. Look for a pub with atmosphere: one with a crowd that shows the game with sound and hangs team colours on the wall.
2. Great snacks
Great snacks go hand-in-hand with game time. This is your moment to gorge on good eats: nachos, dips, wings, and more.
3. Get curious
Watch with a friend who knows what's going on and don't be afraid to ask questions. People who love sports love talking about sports, especially when their team is on screen.
4. Learn the stories
There's always a story behind why a particular game matters or relating to a particular player. But if you're struggling to get into something so, sports-related, most major athletes also happen to be major celebrities, so there is generally always something going on in terms of who they're dating (looking at you, Tristan Thompson), their side gigs, or the houses they're buying.
5. Make bets
Nothing gets you into the game like having something to root for. If you're looking for a fair starting point, we share even odds bets on the regular so you can challenge your friends, no advance knowledge required. We've also got some prize ideas, because there's a lot more than money you can put on the line.
