i guess that depends on what you mean by value. For most people i would say its just a rush and entertainment. But for the 2% of people that actually win at it can find it a pretty good source of income. The amount of discipline and intuition it takes is hard to factor. But nothing makes a game more exciting than putting some money on it. It can make a bad matchup between two teams seem so much more entertaining. Especially when betting spreads are involved.

Sports are wholesome, educational diversions that effectively train a person's body and mind. First of all, they teach about taking care of one's body to maintain peak physical health. We live in a society addicted to passive leisure pursuits and sedentary jobs. On top of all that, we eat foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt that make us overweight or obese. Being an athlete means paying strict attention toward one's diet and weight. Through athletics, a person learns the values of hard work and commitment toward a goal. Competition is also part of athletics and teaches the values of fair play and dealing with failure or adversity. Team sports reinforce the values of teamwork and humility. Courage is also necessary in sports because of the inherent risk of physical injury or even death in extreme cases. Finally, but certainly not least, people play sports to have fun. Sports relax one's mind through energetic physical activity. They are a great way to take one's mind off temporarily from daily worries or responsibilities and so are beneficial to one's mental health as well.
Sportsmanship holds the strongest values in sports. It holds more value than strength, endurance or any other physical attribute that comes with sports. Sportsmanship is having the mental power to stay composed in a situation that could lead to a conflict. Sportsmanship is being able to endure a loss and not retaliate against the other team or act out in a way that would cause shame to your team. Sportsmanship is being able to uphold your integrity as an athlete and not resort to ways that would be considered cheating. Holding sportsmanship above all other values that come with sports is important and key to maintaining a respectable image in the world of sports.
Because sports are so fun to play and if somebody important would start playing it a different way then everybody would start doing it that way! and that is why they are valueable!!
The values of sports include fun, inclusion, excellence, and fairness just but to mention a few. Sports helps build stronger bonds between communities through its values.
