Kushner: Better to be a solo sports bettor or root in a group? That's for you to decide.

It's fun to win a bet. Gambling is ultimately a game for losers. It's infectious. Kushner: Better to be a solo sports bettor or root in a group? That's for you to decide.

Kushner is a sports bettor.

Kushner is a sports bettor. He prefers to bet on an individual event. The most raucous bet is in person. Corporate bettors could save a lot of money. They could dole out a few dollars on a midweek WNBA game. It's a commonality among the group. There is no communal experience like betting as a unit. This dynamic of striving towards a shared goal and sharing acommon enemy is not something we ordinarily achieve in our daily lives.

The inherent problem with team bets is the peer pressure of placing the wager. It's unlikely everyone in the group is totally on board with the pick in first place.

Kushner advises his friends to choose between being a solo sports bettor or a group bettor. He suggests texting friends on a Saturday or Sunday morning to discuss sports bets. He also suggests that it's better to chase together.

Losses were Tulane at Kansas State, Miss St. at LSU, BYU at Oregon and Vanderbilt at Northern Illinois. Win was Charlotte at Georgia State.
