Why do people ?

Question

just left an answer for a question regarding tips on the horse racing page & see someone has left the comment 'gambling is a mugs game'.

my question is why do people do this , if you have no interest in horse racing or gambling on horse racing why look at these pages & answer questions on this subject. have you nothing better to do than leave sarcastic comments!!

Answer 1

What is ur prob anyway? Go sleep:-z

Answer 2

I know I find this very irritating too, It's the same with smoking questions.  I think they just want the points.

Answer 3

People who leave snarky, obsequeous, loud, annoying, pointless, or otherwise rude comments are referred to as trolls.  These people have nothing better to do so they come on to websites like this one to try to stir up a little dust.  The best way to handle irks like this is to just ignore them and go on about your day.

Answer 4

I agree that such comment is irrelevant and, what is more, absurd. The case is, "gambling is a mug's game" is a mug's comment because whenever there is a loss on a gamble there is always a win by the other party to the gamble, so ipso facto that glib statement is meaningless.  The only thing which makes sense is "gambling against the odds is a mug's game" with which all would agree, but there is SKILL in getting the odds in your favour, of which the utterers of that comment have no idea.

Answer 5

name me a person who has"nt gambled -"nuff said"

Answer 6

They are as annoying as people who stand in betting shops for 12 hours a day betting 60p on every virtual race and push by real punters to get to the counter even though they have written their slip out 3 years ago!!!
