Hypothetical Sportsbook Interview Question

Let's say you are interviewing for a position at a sportsbook company (DraftKings, FanDuel, etc.) and your interviewer asks if you sports bet. How would you answer?

I assume the "best" answer is saying something along the lines of that you do place bets, but keep them small and do so for the purpose of being more engaged in whatever sport you are watching.

Not sure if that's even a question that comes up formally/informally but am curious what others think.
