Do you watch a team that you bet while playing? or you better not watch for fear of later when the team. if I personally see the team but if the team is starting to look to lose I will turn off my television

If I bet a small amount I watch because I do not try pulling out my hair while I am watching. So i enjoy the game as it is entertainment.
If I have a large wager on that game I don't watch because it will cause me a heart attack if my team loses so I prefer not to watch and go do something else to keep my mind off the game.

Those feelings of yours are commonly feel by most gamblers who do play on sports.Like me either big or small bets i do really watch the games if i do have a time and if im not busy.This is what i like on sports betting because you could really able to witness live on the results of a particular game. Thrill and excitement is there. When my team losses and the score is too far away then i just stop watching and accept lose.

Usually I like to watch the game for the team that I bet and even they are losing with their game, still I manage to watch.

Because we can't tell what will happen for their game just like in NBA if your favorite team was not able to come up with the score leaded by the opponent.

And eventually in the last quarter they are able to comeback and able to cover up the lead score of their opponent.

No matter what they lose or they win, I like to watch how my money was being bet.

no, i'd better see the result when the game over than must view the whole match, and feel stressed if my bet lose  ;D , but if the match from team that i like, i will see it from first until it is over

Yes,especially when im betting on nba id like to see the game until the end no matter what would be the results as long i enjoyed it but in some betting or games i do only see results after the duration and i will check it if i won or not.Being stressed is always there specially when you see the game.There are lots of games to choose from.

Actually I bet on matches I see because betting on it increases the excitement . Winning or loosing doesn't matter , the fun we have while watching the sports matters .

I would suggest to bet small :) At the end of the day only the fun matters :)

i think i am not because sometimes when i watch my favorite team, i am not make a bet because its depend on my mood and my money. but i think i am not turn off my television because its interesting to watch my favorite team have playing.

For me I want to watch that game that I bet in that team because if I lose I know why my team lose  in the game.

Well for me i always watch the game because my purposes is to enjoy the game with thrill if we are seen that the team it is ok and it is not a problem to watch the plays. honestly i am always excited to watch who will win. you will learn because of your own analysis of their games while you are watching there game and lose you will learn that you can check better to bet in the future..

I always watch my team even though there are loosing the game i always support them by watching im not that kind of people who are going to turn off the television to be a bitter person when my team are loosing when there is a time to win the fight just don't lost hope.

There is a practical complexity of handling our emotions for our benefits. If your favorite team is not performing well you need to bet against them but usually gamblers bet for their favorite team and then start watching them playing.

I do not mix up watching and betting. My bitter experiences taught me a lesson of possibility of emotion failures while betting on a favorite teams/player.

Now a days I completely avoid betting on my home team matches.

When the game is getting more exciting then probably I'll watch the game with my bet. But when I knew that my bet team is going to lose eventually as the match is live, then I won't waste my time for watching it if I knew that they will just lose in the end. That is just a waste of time, electricity and as well the money I entrusted to them.

on my country there are live broadcast for several europe league but for france or germany league match those options doesn't available however if any live broadcast for the particular match and i bets for them i always watching those match but regarding the results bad or good i think doesn't matter for me because i always be ready the worst situations during my bets

people usually bet on the teams they love and follow, so obviously we always watch the games if we have free time. and if there are any gamblers who can not handle the stress of not knowing what happens so much that they can not even watch the match maybe they should think about not gambling at all.

Being supportive in my team is better even your just watching them on television showing some moral support. if i have bets then i personally watch them sometimes but if they are loosing im just cheering up that they can do it they can win the fight.

I am just like you. I bet a little less when I will be watching and it will make their own entertainment. but when a big bet I better not watch because if my team had conceded a bet I'll have a heart attack as possible.

Whether I watch or not, the team that will win will still win so I just decide to place my bet then wait for the next 90 minutes to check whether I won or not and sometimes I just chect live scores to prepare my mind  for what is coming. And that is why I still prefer sport gambling as all I have to do is just to place the bet and let someone else determine whether I will lose or win...

Same with mine mate when i see the team that i bet with nba games i completely change the channel then forget about my bet i will just wait for the results maybe after i see the updates coming from nba news whether i win or lose but i really dont want to see my bet losing.

i am not to often to make a bet when i watch a sports games in television, but sometimes if i am watching sports game with my friends, we'll make a bet for what team which will be the winner. its really interesting when we make a bet with our friends and said to them that our favorite team is going to be a winner.

I use watch the games but not with live telecast. Because most of the games that I'm betting have always a conflict with my very busy schedule. So I'm just checking the team on how they win or lose by watching it through replays in youtube and other video sharing sites.

I mostly watch the games I bet on sometimes I don't if the matches starts like 3am here in my place i'll just sleep and look the results in the next day hoping for a win. I do the same thing if the team I bet on is about to lose I stop watching the match and turn off my stream so I don't waste more time.

It depends,if it is a high value bet or not

Even if it is a low value bet and you made that based on your preferences/fourites, you may lose at the end if you just go for betting if you're not watching for that particular day how your players are performing.

Watching should be done for a better betting, but we should not give room to our emotions so to decide based on our favorites while watching.

Of course I have to watch the team that I bet on. That what makes the game more exciting. I may get frustrated when the team makes too many errors or is losing the game, but that is all part of it.

Rarely. I don't want waste my time just only for watching their playing, ussually i'm just bet whatever i think it'll win, or just following to great tipster in sportbetting. It save a lot of my time, but i'm just watching when my favorite team playing.

I am not letting the chance of watching on what will be the fate of my bet for the teams that I trusted. And that's giving me some thrill when I'm seeing my money is losing with that team. But it makes me excite upon seeing the team is going to make my money doubled or tripled depending on the odds that I bet for them.

I always watch the matches that I bet on, it is spectacular to watch your expectations come true, in different case I become nervous when the match takes other direction of my bet, however I continue watching the match in both cases because everything might happen.

Personally I watch them played. No matter if I lose bet, because I can afford to lose, when I also fan of sport, I watched them until match over.
I selected to match bet too, that's why I can afford to lose my money.

if i have time i will make sure to watch the matches because i enjoy the suspense that i get from not knowing the result.

think of it this way, when you like a sports match and enjoy watching the game enthusiastically you would do it with 10 times more excitement if you have also money on the line.

I like to watch soccer, and I usually bet on games that I plan to watch with my friends. Rarely we have same bets on same match, everyone of us have different tactics.
Sometimes one of us gets upset cause of result, but we watch games until the end, cause even if someone lose other wins, and who wins next time brings drinks and food.

if for me personally if I am sure I will watch pertandinagn I hold when the game starts it will be crowded if I watch may indeed very scary seeing her :D

I do watch! Regardless of betting on my team or not, I watch them till the bitter end! In my opinion, it's much more exciting to watch you, team, when you wager something on them. I cheer more for my team, and it excites me every time my team scores. It's an adrenaline rush when you bet on your team, and the are winning. However, they still need to win by a certain number, so you still cheer them on even if you know they are already winning. It also happens in the opposite, when they are losing by ten buy your bet will win at +9. Then you still cheer them on to get close the odds. I hope that was clear, kind of hard to explain that. Good luck gambling guys!

I usually watched the game until finished so i don't feel curious about the match result, and the other reason is i like to bet in the middle of the game, so usually i observed the team a while then i place my bet and sometimes the odds are better, and watching the game while betting give me more excitement about the match

Yes I do, Im watching it since in the first place I really love every game even I don't put a bet on it. Im talking about basketball games. Since then this is my favorite sport. Watching them while you have an active bet makes you feel intense and surprising. And since I love the game, I will finished it eventhough my bet is on lossing side. Accept any results as nothing will change if a person will just mock everytime they loss their bet.

Im enjoying the game even without a bet so imagine how much more if I have an active bet, surprises at it's finest.

Better to edit your title to "Do you watch sports games that you bet?"" for avoid the misunderstanding even your post is right.

I'm not a fan of sports actually (I don't bothering to watch the match I've bet) , when I placed a bet on sports mostly I'm following tipster to choose the bets (So it's random , not only 1 type of sport and lack of channel is the main problem for me to watch the match) . Chance to win is high but still have a chance to lose , at least you're confident with your placed bet(s).

It was fun and exciting experience to see live match on the team that I'm bet on.
Although it hurt when they lose but at least I know how they perform that cause their face a loss

It is not like that , i watch the match which i bet as some time live match can give you some bets which odds are high and can give you return high if the bet gets pass. I mostly watch the matches which i bet or you can say that i play bet on inplay live match which can give me idea of what next bet i have to do

Actually in my case it's depend on my availability because game time are sometimes conflict in my schedule. There are times that Im doing something, let's say Im at work, when the game started. Not a big deal if I able to watched the game live or not as long as my bet will win.

But if there's a chance that I can watched the game live, no further questions and I will watched it even I don't have to put some bets on it. The impact is just the same even I watched the game live or not.

for it feels much better to watch the game even I know that I will be losing the money that I have bet because I feel it more exciting to watch the game with the team you have placed your bet and much great if the said team have won the game, you will have your money back doubled.

yes i love watching basketball sports game that's why im watching even i put a bet on a team . it gives me hype and chill at the same time because when you're team is losing or winning you're on the point that you will scream if you win trust me been there before and im happy that im a gambler.

There will not be any problem if you bet first then watch. But if you decide to bet later based on how a match will be going on then the real problem will start because you may need to bet against your home team for making profits.

I usually do not watch matches lively on which I will be betting. I just have update on them and based on that I will bet.

I do not always bet while watching a sports game seuatu. Well, I do not always play gambling, I only do it when I was in the mood to play, or when I'm sure that the club is really going to be a winner. Well, if I had a great opportunity, I would bet, and if not, then I'll just be a spectator

I watch the soccer games sometimes. It's more an psychological factor above all, as it raises your confidence very high before the game begin. Once the game begin you can assess easily if your bet it's going to be a winning one or a losing one. If you are a soccer fan in general you can easily distinguish if a bet is going to win or be a lost. Lately I am not seeing any good game where the team that is under one goal has done a great turning of the game. I am missing this a lot in nowadays games.

I prefer to watch a team that i bet until the end, because i like suspense  ;D

Escaping away is not a good habit but we have to bear what we have done we have to keep in mind that anything can happen in gambling and it is also a chance that we lose so we have to tolerate that lose and not have to take it on mind to stay in tension. I will never do as you are but will watch the game in the hope to win till the end of the game in any situation.

People who gamble for entertaining and profit based on luck always watch a team that they bet on while others do not. Gambling masters make 100 bets a day so they can not see all the matches, they can only wait for the results.

I think they are just the same both or it is depends of the gambler if they want to watch or not.. if they are surely to be win i think this is most not watching the fights of the team.  mostly watch for the team if it is final game or not..
Or well known team or we can say in boxing they are not watching if the boxer are not well known. and most of them they are watching well known boxers..

True, after all, we made a bet to enjoy that thrill. If you bet just to make a profit, then that is not good as per me because I always bet to enjoy the fun. If I can't watch that particular game then I will not bet on such games instead wait for my free time to bet and enjoy.

but sometimes a gambling master are a big fan of certain club/player right?

so they maybe have to watch the game and bet on it. i always do it everytime my favorite club playing , and sometimes i avoid to bet on y favorit club just bet against them , so if you lost the bet you will still happy to se your club win the real game.

That is called a fun betting and enjoying the games. As long as you bet a small amount which you can afford lose and enjoy your free time. I don't bet on my favorite team always but bet on a team which is stronger on that day. So far I have a good luck in sports betting but will bet only on I'm confident.

Turn off your television, lol ;D. I did watched my team/players and feel the sensations of adrenaline rush if I bet higher/big amount and enjoy an exciting match. When you watch whether your choices lose or win, at least you know why or how and as additional knowledge of sports betting.

It's bad luck to be superstitious.

Seriously though, I enjoy football (American football)  - both NFL and NCAA. I like watching and betting it. Most games in NFL are played on Sundays and most college games are on Saturdays so there are usually multiple games going on and usually I have multiple bets going on at the same time as well starting from midday and all the way through into the night. I do surf the channels and check periodically on the games I have money on as well as check the updates online, especially if I think I might be betting the halftime lines. I don't worry about jinxing a team and them losing because I watch them. I rather use the opportunity to get first hand info on how a team plays for future reference.

all the fun of sports betting is in watching the games that you have placed a bet on. otherwise what is the point. you make the bet and because you have both interest in the team and also you have money on the line you experience a good high.

Personally i actually only watch the game carefully when i'm actually betting so i guess that is a reason for me to bet in the first place - because i want to "force" myself into watching that game. I know it's pretty flawed logic, but hey, thats actually how i feel.

When you watch a normal game and when you watch a game where you've bet on is two completely different feelings. You feel invested in the game, once you've bet on it.

If I already puted any bet for any particular team to win in a particular match than matter wether I am.seeing the match or not because playing team will do their best to make the game better chase .
So I think think switching off television is not a matter for your gambling bet with that match .

Yes I always watch team that I bet while playing. Because besides bet I also want to enjoy the game and I also want to see the team that I bet win or lose, so I can know the cause of the team that I bet could win or lose a game. And I always look at the game until the end because it is entertainment for me. If the channel tv in my country do not broadcast those games, I still would see with streaming ;D

i like watching especially when the game is from nba and spurs played i keep watching them supporting how coach pop will design the play win or lose i want to enjoy and learn how he handle the play it is not the money but the learning and fun that will be bring to myself.

Funny topic, I can't fall in sleep if I bet a lot, I have to watch it. Watching while bet in-play can make arbitrage chance.

I usually don't watch the games I bet on since it causes too many problems XD But if i get a cahcne I do watch them after they are over sometimes to learn and sometimes for entertainment.

Sure..Why not? Watching a game while we bet on that match is awesome thing to do. It'll give extra fun for us. We can laugh when our team made a goal, we can scream or swear to some players while they failed to make a goal and we feel very sad if our team lost the game. Of course we can get all of those sensation without risking our money on that event but the taste will be very different. The other important thing is we are able to share our opinion about that game with our friends when we met them.

I only bet on games that I am intersted in seeing in the first place, so naturally I watch the games that I bet on.

I can understand some people not watching, especially with bigger amounts. It can become quite tense and frustrating if it is a close call towards the end.

Betting and watching on nba sports is really enjoyable because we all do have favorite teams on that games.We will definitely watch and we do bet in it.Yes i agree with you win or lose on our bets doesnt matter as long we do enjoy on the game that we would watch but on some games i dont intend to watch it just only on NBA.

If it is a close match of your favourite team then some people can't take that thrill pressure whether they bet on that match or not. But usually I like to watch those neck to neck kind of games and if placed bet on those matches even very interesting for me. Most of the times I will watch the games which I placed bets.

I rarely watch games I bet on, mostly because I find watching sports boring and I most of the time bet on certain teams after getting a tip from some people I know, and I have no tv at home and most are foreign games I bet on.

I do feel this way too, that's the main reason that sometimes that I doubt to watch the games of my favorite teams and the teams that I bet. But still I'm making myself courage to watch it because it is my money that I'm gambling and sometimes its hurting me when how I watch my money to lose slowly for those bets.

Many time whenever i see sports than i do bet, even many time i don't want to do betting but watching the television than automatically my heart beating is not my control and than i start to do bet. Because, i think sport made for betting, and for me, It is a good way for gain money and enjoyment.

Yes especially when betting on favorite teams, we should watch it because it was so much fun to bet while watching our favorite teams. I also always do that when bet on my favorite team, but I think that my favorite team need to win because I want my favorite team win and I also won the bet :D But when I bet on a team that is not my favorite, I'm still going to watch because I want to know directly if the team that I bet win or lose, it's also interesting. So if I bet on all sports games, I would always watch to find out results directly.

Sports not made to bet but we people take advantage of those sports to bet and get different enjoyment than the actual one. I don't bet on all matches but if I bet on any match than mostly I will try to watch a match. I don't think it is easy to make a money from sports betting or any other gambling.

I always watch sports that i've made bet because i only bet on my favorite team as a support to them. I've only bet on the game of San Antonio Spurs and Golden State warriors on NBA and New york yankees on MLB,  i'm a fan since i'm a child and now i'm able to support them in betting. It is very entertaining to watch your favorite team to win because i'm winning too and vice versa.

Sports is sports and people do only find new ways to make it more enjoyable and more thrilling and thats why they make bettings or putting up money and making some predictions on a particular match thats why its called on sports betting.Agree,its somehow boring when you try to bet a particular sport which arent in your interest but for the sake of money you will surely bet and this is true on some gamblers out there.

While its gamblers fallacy, I always feel unluckier when I turn on the tv to watch a particular game. For some bad luck, I have lost a lot of favorite to win games this way. But I definitely watch a lot of the soccer games I bet on.

I personally would keep watching nonetheless because i'm actually interested in the outcome of the game regardless of who won and who didn't. After all you bet your money and at least get some entertainment out of that money man, instead of turning off the TV and be depressed.

Also if your team make a comeback then you have missed so much excitement...

It was not just me who is afraid to watch a team that bet. Here also there are people who fear to watch. the reason was almost the same would have a heart attack if the team lost

I always watched games of the teams I put a bet on, may it be an NBA, NFL or Esports, because it is where you will feel the excitement especially for a long time gambler like me but there will also stressful thing that comes when you lose, but well that's how gambling works though.

I love to watch team playing and having they team work to win the game. I actually bets on basketball team and im supporting or show my support by wathching them live and if they lose i lose too hahaha.

I do love watching the team I like especially i have bet on them.  If i can only go as audience and cheer for them while they are playing.  That adds more fun and excitement than just watching on the tv or live telecast of the game.  I don't mind if I win or lose the bet, what I am after this time is the fun I am about to experience together with the supporter of that team. Well if they lost then it's fine, I always bet what i can afford to lose anyway.

i have mostly made bets on e-sports games and i have always watched every single game that i have ever watched either through the game client itself with commentary or through twitch TV. mostly because i believe half the fun of gambling on sports is when you watch your bet take shape and every moment is a good risky feeling.

Good to see another esports enthusiast here, do you follow the current Dota 2 Boston Major? If yes, who do you think will win the whole tournament? Virtus Pro's current form seems good though.

They even have them televised on major networks now.
I remember seeing a commercial advertised during August for that league that Shaq is a part owner of. He is the spokesman so they have major marketing for that esports that he is a part of.

Wow. That's interesting. So how can you be able to analyze a match ? Or you just follow some tips from experts ? Don't you know that most of the online tips are suck and dump ? You should do everything by yourself and it would be better than listen to what other people say. I always make a bet on my own and I find it is very cool and relaxes. You should buy a TV or watch the match on your computer

yes of course whenever I am putting a bet on sports with some team I usually watch a game and I love it because it has a lot of fun and thrill while you are watching the team you have bet on it doesn't matter for me whatever the result will be at least i have enjoyed the time during i am watching that is important for me.

This is the main reason I rarely watch the game when I place a bet some penetration can distract me
Usually I just watch the big match for another game I was just watching in livescore

Well, I am also that sort of a person and I am quite a person who enjoys matches and hence I also have my own things like I cross my fingers hard and some superstitious activities. One more thing I do is bet on other team when I see high odds on it because my luck is terrible and I can loose even if 10 goals are needed in last 10 mins lol

No I do not watch the sports to bet neither I bet for the sports I watch. Let the sports be taken in a sportingly manner so that you actually enjoy the sports and sportsmanship spirit rather then getting stuck in the equations of your winning or losing rather than best team winning and losing.

I always feel that betting ruins the sports game or the charm to watch the sports.

You probably got lost if you criticizing sports betting here. You know, you can bet before the match for, after, enjoy this live match.

Will continue to watch the match, because in some matches the winning as well the loss can be judged during the starting session of the match itself. Also if the team on which bet has been found to be on the losing side, then can try making some plans to minimize loss.

On a fun bet, the game gets more interesting if you watch it after making a bet I think. But even on a "professional" level it could help you if you are watching, since your analysis of the live game could give you more information, and you could end up doing more bets either to make more profit or to cut losses.

It is hard to watch our lose but it is good to watch that because we will learn that how we are losing and what is actually happening and we have to watch that why the game went against us so for the next time we will keep these things in our mind and we will then bet perfectly and will have good chances to win.

Lol basically, that is the reason why people bet to their favorite sports and teams to add up the hype that they were feeling when it's time to watch the game.As a gambler why would i waste my money to bet something that doens't interest me at all(try to apply that everytime you gamble then you would basically understand why).

I agree and besides, professional gambler set aside their emotion.  Even if their favorite team is playing but it is evident in his analysis that the opposing team will win, this gambler will cheer for his favorite team but bet to the opposite team which in his analysis will clearly win.  Anyway whoever wins  he has a consolation lol.

Many time it happened with me, when i am watching the TV than i do bet, and than suddenly my team going to down, than i also turn off TV, Its mean i accept my lose. But on the other hand, i do bet again on the opposite team, because in this way, i get litter bit lose, and also i can make money, that's why i choose sports betting, because in sports we have a solution.   

There are really gambler who do such thing as you stated on which they cheer for a particular team that he likes the most but hes betting are on the opposite team and this is very true because gamblers would really do this especially when they are somehow sure on each play that they analyze but this thing could also dont guarantee win anytime but still the chances of winning is high in my own view.

Fading yourself is actually very effective, the line set by the odds maker are set to look easy for a typical sports gamblers. Typical gamblers always bet on their favorite teams and that alone will make themselves bias since they are only seeing the strength of a team and failed to see the weaknesses. Smart gambler consider both, thus they are more successful than us.

I almost always watch the game im betting on. Like you said when it feels like m team is about to lose. I generally try to cut my losses and bet on the opponents some money so that I can get at least something back. I do that especially when I have a tight budget to bet with and Im betting big. If not I just enjoy the ride.

I understand your point as my bet almost on my favorite sport game which is very exciting to watch the game and could improve my analysis capabilities for the next selection. But sometimes I did followed some tipsters to bet on their predictions even for the sports that I don't know well enough due to I've seen their bet evidence and usually ended with nice profits too.

It is better for me to watch the game that i have put my money on it. Especially if the sports that i have bet is one of my favorite like basketball and billiards. I like the feeling of excitement and thrilling part wherein your team score is less than the opponent team score and then the momentum will happen and your team will win the game. Even if my team losses and i lose the bet as long as i enjoyed the game it is still win for me.

No I Never See Television when I bet on a sporting event because we can't change the result of the sporting event because the result will be same even u watch the spots event I bet on or not.
So I Never watch the sporting event when I bet on any sports event.

I love watching the game when I bet on the team.
but when lost I will continue to watch the game and read the game, then try live bet to recover my defeat.
