I remember the 1994 World Cup in that match between Colombia and USA where USA had to win with 2:1 scores courtesy of an own goal from the Colombian Andres Escobar which was believed to have made USA won that game leading to the disqualification of the Colombia to the next round. It was gathered that Escobar was shot dead while inside his car days after that game. An action organized by a punter who lost his huge bet because of that 2:1 loss of Colombia to USA team. The idea was that it was the own goal from Escobar that help USA to win and qualify in that game. Although the culprits were arrest and penalized.

In recent times we have witnessed countless own goals from player's in football competitors from the EPL, La Liga, Bundles Liga, Serie A  etc which had to change the outcome of a match that would have ended in favour of their team.
Now bringing this to gamblers of today; how do you feel when the team you bet in favour of lost the game due to an own goal from one of the teammate's? 

1. Do you get vexed up at the player?
2. Do you take it as a common loss by the team just like other days? or
3.  Do you curse the player for that?

It is always said that as a gambler you need to only stake what you can afford to lose, you don't put your entire life savings on a single game and when it doesn't go in favor of you then you want the whole world to crumble. Gambling is 50/50, it is either you win or you lose and that should be imbibe in the heart of every sports man. NO.2 is what I preferably take as my position whenever I'm face with such kind of situation, I would only get angry for just a period time and after then I move on. Once you're a regular football observer, you understand that football is always unpredictable even to the last minute.

unless it is a fixed game, no player will intentionally want to score his own goal and no player will feel happy afterwards being the reason why their team  lost especially in an important competition. the player already feels sorry for himself, and no matter the annoyance you have against the player it will not change anything.

It should be taken as a common loss because before you lose there is usually  a reason for the loss, and sometimes the reason for losing is the mistakes from your own team members.

Players are only humans, so they are also subject to their mistakes inside the field. That is true, if it is not a fixed game, then more than likely, that player will also feel bad for what he did to his team. I don't think anyone on his right mind will want to score the opposition because of his act. But you can't blame them because once you are inside the field, confusion may always be the culprit of this act. For sure, he will also blame himself for losing the game because of his OG. So for me, don't be too hard to the player, he will also have his regrets of his actions. Just take the loss as it is and move on.

Well, for me its normal, you see that is the beauty and at the same time the thrill when it comes to sports betting, you cant predict the outcome of the match until it ends, so as long as it doesnt end with the team you bet on in advantage then you will feel the anxious that you still might lose or the team you bet on might lose, and it will be different if your ream is in the losing side and as the sports is played by human then anything unpredictable might happen and your example is one of them, we cant avoid those unpredictable or what they say "miracle" play which could turn the tide opposite, so for me if something like that happens to me and it actually happen numerous times, I just accept it, I cant blame the team or the players because they are just humans, we just need to accept the outcome of the match and move forward because sulking and getting angry doesnt do much to you so just accept it, that is sports betting.

I mean as a gambler anyone who ruins your bet you kind of get pissed at.  But in the end you let it go and move on to another bet.  Some people take sports, especially soccer like a religion. Feel bad for the guy and his family, it could happen to anyone.  But in terms of an own goal vs a normal goal ruining your bet, nah it's a ll the same.

One thing that is there to understand is that, own goals are a part of the game. It’s an event and one that you can even bet on happening, carries a good odd too but, a difficult market to predict.
When it happens that you lost your bet due to this own goal situation, I’ll just understand that, it wasn’t my lucky day. It’s how gambling works and I’ve got nothing than to move on. Of course I wouldn’t be so pleased with the player in that moment but after then, it’s all good.
I feel pity for them most of all, especially when the team looses the match due to an own goal. It scares you through your career and that goes into history. Mine is just a worthless stake that I would have lost anyway.
For all I know, am gambling again when I can and with odds that is appealing too.

If you experience feelings 1 and 3, that is, you get seriously vexed and then curse, you should not be playing sports bets because you are immature and do not understand how sports betting works or even what sport is.

I also think that because you are blaming the players instead of simply accepting that that is how the game was meant to go, you should gamble on other casino options where you are in a position where there will be no one but yourself to blame if you lose.

An own  goal is an even that happens in football that no one, not even the players who cause the own goal expected or wanted such to happen, it only happens as a result of a mistake which cannot be blamed on the player too because it could happen to any one. Some times it results from a defensive error by the players and cannot be really blamed on them because they are not the actual cause of such happening.

Sometimes in a bid to defend and prevent a goal from happening, these players makes these mistakes and score these goals and it's such that it's not something that can be undone once it's done, so blaming on the players or cursing them is just self inflicted stress you may be doing to yourself as it will definitely not change anything or make the results coma out any better, it's best if you accept your results and your fate and hope to be lucky in another trial, then try again the next day or time. Throwing blames at players or doing otherwise isn't helpful to your gambling fate at any point.

Taking it as a common loss is one best way to getting pass through this because it's actually a common loss like you do experience on a day when a team you have expected to win or score more goals fails to do so, you will not start cursing or blaming them so much for not getting the results you desired, rather you will still have to gamble the following day with the mind of winning again or been lucky next time.

Vexed, for sure. An own goal is a kick in the gut, especially when it throws the game and my bet. It's like a teammate betraying the team's trust.

Mistakes happen in football, and own goals are part of the game. Dwelling on it won't get money back.

Cursing in the heat of the moment is likely. But I don't take it too far. Players are human and make errors. Threatening or abusing them online is never okay.

Scoring an own goal is not a new thing. It's a part of football so I don't see the reason I should be angry at any player whom score an own goal because no body wishes to hurt himself expecially in a competition between 2 parties where they are struggling to find the best or the winer among them. Everybody is prone to mistake and when it happens we have no choice than to accept it. Apart from own goal such club may still lost if their opponents scores more than them. The truth of the matter is that in every game there must be a winner and a loser so whichever way your team finds themselves they have to accept it that way.

Combination of the three, obviously you don't what that to happen, but accidentally one mistake of the player will cost their team to lost. And if you have bet on them, then obviously you are going to curse that player for doing that and you will vexed up that player every time he plays. So you have to move on and take that as a common lose, I mean that gambling, you don't know that out come up to the last minute. It's just that maybe it's not for the team to win and that they are unlucky and so is the rest of the backers who bet on them.

Nope, why should we be annoyed with this player. Meanwhile, soccer players sometimes make mistakes when they intend to secure the goal but accidentally their good intentions turn bad (OG)

Just like gambling, sometimes football also provides many surprises such as defeats in the last minute or own goals which often occur. So I think this is a normal thing. Even other sports will also experience problems like this.

There is no point we curse the player after he makes a mistake when we as humans must have made mistakes in any case and we as bettors must have positive thoughts about what we are betting on. Let's just say we were just unlucky.

BTW, remembering what happened to Andres Escobar, one of the real own goals was very sad. :'(

1. Even if you vexed at that player, you can't do anything about it, not the first time though is football that we have seen this kind of mistakes. For sure the player might bring it to himself for the rest of his playing career.

2. Yes, you should take it as a common lose, no need to sugar coat it and then go and continue to gamble

3. It will not help anything if you curse that player, he will have that stain in his career so no need to rub it in to him. And maybe there are thousands of fans already who have cursed him already, no need to add to that.

I would certainly swear, I think any fan who says otherwise is a big liar :P

However, I understand, as bad as this action is, that this is just another "normal" game incident. No player intends to score a goal against his own team, and when this happens it is always because there was some error in controlling or directing the ball.

There are other very similar situations, such as goalkeepers' "mistakes", defenders losing the ball near the area, unintentional penalties (whether due to handball or contact with the opponent)... all of these incidents usually result in a goal for the opposing team and could also have been avoided, but it is a normal game incident.

We need to stop penalizing players so much, because they certainly regret an own goal as much or more than we do.

I will probably curse the player first after the play and then I am going to think about bad shits about him, like he is selling the game or whatever. I am just human, those are normal emotions.
But after that, when all is calm, I'd still take it as another loss in one of my bets.
Errors do happen and we don't really know the reason behind it. What if it's an honest mistake? I doubt a player will try something stupid that he knows can cost his life. There are a lot of hardcore football fans in the world and there may be stupid people who would do stupid things when they lost their bets. Plus social media can actually kill a person now just by bashing them with words and I doubt somebody would like that to happen to himself.

If you’re going to lose a bet, it might as well be in fantastic and entertaining fashion. No reason to be upset or angry at whoever is responsible. This is what gambling is about. If it was just a regular loss there wouldn’t even be reason to mention it. I’d say you should be happy your money gave an entertaining return.

Sometimes, if i'm having a bad session and this happens, i'd rather let it all out than let my frustrations build up.

Regardless of how it ended, it's still a loss, and there's no need to treat it differently. It's always better to accept it as any other loss and move on.

I wouldn't curse players because of that loss alone, but i've seen other bettors say some crazy stuff through public chats and even go further by messaging the player.

A goal is a goal, own goal is a goal. Regardless of how a goal happened it doesn't change the fact that it is a goal, it is pressure from the opposite team that usually lead to the team scoring an own goal. But nevertheless, I don't get vexed up at the such player  as you said since it wasn't intentional and can never be but out of game pressure which can happens to anyone in such an uncontrollable situation hence, there is no reason good enough to curse or justify such player rather I see or take it as a common loss by the team just like other days but yeah different people must have different opinions as to this regard. Own goal can happens to anyone no matter how experienced the player is , it can happen very fast even when you don't expect, most people saying some crazy things to players about scoring own goal are just blowing up things out of proportion.

I'm sure that no player will deliberately make a mistake that is detrimental to his team so that his opponent wins unless the player is involved in match-fixing, the player must have intended to clear the ball but the opposite happened, like when the Tutsis lost to Portugal the second goal occurred because of a lack of communication between Turkiye players which made the ball enter his own goal, so when a player makes a mistake it will definitely be very regrettable and also he doesn't expect it to happen, players can make mistakes when under pressure, the mistake is not only scoring their own goals but also when they are late to block the ball from the opponent like when Croatia had to draw against Albania.

About Andreas Escobar, I don't think that he was involved in match-fixing because I've never heard of match-fixing in a big tournament like the World Cup, and if that happens I think it will reduce the interest of the audience and sponsors will leave the big tournament.

If that happened to the team I chose in the bet, it would certainly be annoying, but in football there is always a risk where the results are not as expected, so just accept it.

People make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Unfortunately for that player, he was probably ridiculed a lot for his mistake as that's what the world seems to do. Kick people when they're down.

Should players get mad? Yea, but not to the point of violence or anything silly.

We may vexed up to that player because he makes a mistake but we can't blame him because that can happens in the match. I will consider that is a common loss by the team so that will not be a problem. There will be another day for that team to wins the match.

We don't have to curse that player because I am sure that he doesn't wants that happens. He miss the coordination with his friends and makes a mistake so we don't have to blame him. Besides that, if we place a bet for our favorite and lose our money, we can hopes that our team can change the situation in the next match.

We don't have to be serious with the match, especially if we place a bet for our team. In gambling, we will see wins and lose many times and that could be our team that lose against the opposite team. We must understand that betting doesn't needs to have a big hopes because the outcomes is unpredictable.

I would blame on myself because of not having taken into account the probability of an own-goal when I made my bet because, to be honest, I never think about that possibility (logical: it is very rare).

But that rarity makes that even if I took it into account, the bet would've been almost the same, so the blame would last very little.

I understand others that would blame on the player, but the player didn't tell you to bet in that sense :D so in the end it has more to do with where you position your locus of control (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_control) than anything else, don't you think guys?

I had the chance to watch that match. Escobar slid into the ball coming from the side and scored an own goal. USA defeated Colombia 2-1.
Colombia could not get out of the groups even though they had very high quality artillery.
There was a lot of speculation about this match, even news that Colombian betting barons killed Escobar, but no one knows exactly what the truth is.
One day, Escobar goes to a bar and when he laughs and has fun there, people say, "How can you laugh and have fun because you made us unhappy?" and then an argument ensues.
I read news that they shot Escobar while he was getting into his car.
I was very sad when I heard the news. Escobar deliberately does not want to score an own goal. At that position, he slid to the ball to intercept the incoming cross, which resulted in an own goal. It's nothing but pure bad luck.

Why are you asking something that you should already know the answer to? If someone loses a bet, of course they will be very upset, especially if they are just a little bit away from winning, but instead they are thwarted by an own goal. Who is the person who doesn't feel upset? I think everyone who gambles also feels the same way if they bet while watching the match, but again, losing in things like this has become a common thing which causes the failure of a bet, not only due to own goals, there are also those who do it. comebacks in the extra minutes of time and sometimes there are also penalties which is why gambling is a game of chance no matter how clever we are at analyzing the match if an unexpected surprise occurs we can do nothing but accept the result.

In all it has very much to do with the gamblers' maturity to gambling and their perception about the sports by understanding that any incident can happen in the field. And it's a truism that no player in his right mind will want to dent his football career by deliberately scoring against his own team, which brings us to the fact that the players also suffer pains under such event just as the gambler suffers the loss of their bet as a result.

I feel normal, imagine if your bet won because your opposing team scored an own goal, you would be happy. If that can apply to you, it should also apply to other bettors who are your opponents in that bet.


Not at all.


Yes, just think of it as an unlucky day, and in the future maybe we'll have our own lucky day.


No, just like other people, they're also humans who can make mistakes (human error), unless the player is proven to have committed score fixing, I'll definitely curse the player.

Yes, I'd probably curse the player but I wouldn't do anything brutal, especially try to kill him like in OP's story.

I never bet a lot of money so that loss would never get me in trouble or lead to financial ruin. I can't say if I wouldn't try to do more, like stalk the guy on social media for that, but we're talking about an extreme situation I hope I'll never experience.

Yes, the player is at fault, but shit happens.  It makes me think of people who cause a car accident and kill someone. Would you like relatives of that person to try to kill you for your mistake? That's why killing or even beating the player is completely out of the question. Cursing though? We have to vent somehow.

I'm sure I feel annoyed. because he almost won the bet but had to lose because of a mistake. but I will see how the error occurred, resulting in me losing the bet.
Also, look at the previous performance of the player who made the mistake. because sometimes players under constant pressure can also lose focus which results in undesirable situations. but if a player often makes mistakes, of course, it's not only the judges who will curse the player but the fans will curse him.

Shit happens. Own-goal is a very common thing in football. I don't curse anybody because of that because sports betting has lots of chance elements in it. Lots of stuff can go wrong in a game. Sometimes teams play with 9 players because they lost 2 players to the red cards. Sometimes the other team wins a penalty kick even though they didn't really deserve it. (some players fake their injuries very successfully) Sometimes, the referees are fuck heads. Anything is possible.

There are 3 potential results in every football game. Win, lose, draw. It is not really any different than playing roulette if you can see it that way.

After reading the story I wanted to know more about it but the link was no where to be found. If you're reading this, please attach link to the story.

My deduction from this story is that gambling/ sports betting has been long time before so many people were born and would be here after they died. The same thing goes for gambling/sports addiction.

Recently there have been reports of football fans beating up their home team or visiting team after a loss. We cannot attribute this to gambling addiction rather to extreme fanaticism from the fans.

Anyone would be vexed by an own goal which reduces the chances of a win. I think that right now what people do instead of physical attack is virtually,  verbal abuse and cyber bullying. I think that is where it ends. Online..

I will only get angry at that moment and after a while I will get over it. There must be a mistake from one of the teams in for the other to win. Gambling is something that you don't need to feel too emotional about it and that is why it is good for one to use Tha amount of money that he can afford to lose.

I have lost a bet last two seasons when Maguire of  Manchester united was not in a good form. In football own goal is part of the game. Accepting the outcome of your bet is the best thing to do so that you don't chase your losses.

Well I won't lie, if I have the opportunity to actually watch and witnessed the whole game then I would be really really angry to a certain extent but not to the point of actually taking someone's life although I understand the context of what some gambler put at stake that can actually make this gambler so vexed that he need to end the player that caused the own goal. And again that's why it's always advisable to actually use money you can afford to lose.

There will always be sick people (in the literal sense of the word) who may not like the outcome of the game. It’s all about a person manically looking for the culprit and committing a crime. It is impossible to predict what might come into the minds of such idiots. But for an ordinary, reasonable person, the understanding that football is a game and all variants of the game are possible in it should not cause violent emotions. While it is natural to regret mistakes, such as an accidental own-goal, a humble understanding of what happened should serve as an experience and decision for future bets taking into account such cases.

To feel annoyed for that player is a usual scenario, especially if we expect a lot from him but cursing him is not the right thing to do and we don't have the right to that in the first place. Even though it was too obvious he committed mistakes, we remember that it is easy to see what we should do if we are just watching but it was different when you are in the field/court. 

Disappointed with the results but we have to accept that in gambling, even betting the good and veteran players cannot ensure winning, sometimes they lose from new players as well. If I lose my bet, I don't say anything bad to them because we don't owe them, they just give their best but weren't enough to win the game, which is what is to say.

Well there are extremist to every aspects of life and football is not left out. Extremist are unreasonable fellows who view things differently and only want to have what they want.

The Andres Escobar's matter is just one of that kind that will go overboard and only because the drug "lords " had a bet in favour of Columbia and so he had to go with the own that made them lose their money. I read the article concerning that online and it is so reasonable for a game.

Those who would not see gambling as luck base should rather stay back and not to invest all their money and emotion in what they can't influence or control. They have to be reasonable to what fate that they have put in the hands of others. It is just a game you play and winning is not dependent on how much that you have to gamble on it.

I'm not sure what's the point we need to discuss, I mean we're humans, it's completely normal if we get vexed up and curse the player, do you happy when someone messed up your dream?

I will not take it as a common loss, I'm gonna put more attention with the player and if he's quite common making mistakes to score own goal, I wouldn't bet on the team where he played anymore.

In the game of football, mistakes naturally occur, these mistakes can be in the form of own goals and so on. and I agree that it is very natural for us to curse the player, especially the player who messed up our bet and made us lose, even though victory was right before our eyes. There are many cases like this where it is the players themselves who make us fail to win in bets because of the own goals they create.

But you are right, we also have to look at how often he makes mistakes, whether they are mistakes he makes repeatedly or just in that match. Because even famous players can make mistakes, it's just that the mistakes they make are a little different, for a goalkeeper he might make a blunder as we saw in the Liverpool match in the Champions League. Karius at that time made a lot of blunders which ultimately had an impact on his career. For strikers, maybe they cannot take advantage of opportunities, such as penalties for example and many more.

If that player really often makes mistakes, then I, like you, will reconsider betting on that team, for example, when Maguire made mistakes very often in Manchester United's back line, I didn't even think about betting on them. Lol

In the world of football, anything can happen on the field, including the mistake of committing an own goal which might cause their team to lose at the end of the match, and of course it is very likely that it was an unintentional mistake made by the Colombian player, unless it is proven that he was a traitor who was on the US side to make the US side escape disqualification. But I am sure that it happened accidentally, and also the problem of gambling losses experienced by the perpetrator of the shooting was of course his own fault.

Logically no one forces him to bet on the match, and he does not understand that in a match anything can happen that can make the stronger team lose to the weaker team, and also he does not understand that after all gambling is an activity full of uncertainty. This means that in this case it is clear that the perpetrator of the shooting was at fault, namely that first he did not understand the concept of gambling and perhaps gambled with an amount that exceeded his limits so he was very emotional and took unexpected actions such as killing the Colombian player. Therefore, wherever you bet, still limit the number of bets and expectations must really be prioritized to minimize the possibility of emotions.

Indeed, many gamblers are seeting this idea aside and just regret things afterwards trying to blame the players. If gamblers will just be mindful of their bets and will respect their risk appetite, even if their bet turns out to a loss, they'd be fine and be hopeful for the next time they will gamble. Feelings of frustration, regrets, and sadness are normal responses to lose betting outcome but at least be realistic of the amount you will engage. If it would be a burden losing it then there's no point embracing that much of risk given that there's no certainty of winning. Not all matches are fixed or scripted, it will also be hard to determine which one is.

In sportsbetting, every player is professional, meaning they could all score if they will have the opportunity to do so therefore always expect the unexpected.

As a kid we were thought the value of practicing the spirit of sportsmanship whenever possible. Such things as sad as it may seem for both parties; the player and spectators. Putting the player in a terrible condition would only make him feel very bad of himself. Which doesn't portray a good spirit of sportsmanship. He may have shown remorse for making a mistake which will seem to his country people as a betrayal, yet it's not enough to condemn someone who plays for our nation because he made an uncommon terrible mistake.

Definitely, one should feel the pain of losing out a bet, and the game in general, but it's also important to question ourselves on the type of anger issue erupting from us due to gambling. I've seen numerous own goals, but none is as painful as the one mentioned above, such, that leads to the failure of a team in a game.

As a responsible gambler, you can’t avoid such scenarios either when you are betting on that match or when that goal plays a crucial role in affecting the final result of you bet, making you lose good money. You only have to understand that football or any other sports, such incidents are happening all the time, what matters is the final result and as much it can help you winning your bet, it is also worth to remember when it makes you lose, to not get effected emotionally.
Accepting any outcome of your bet is what makes you a good moderate gambler, reacting bad towards a player and being disrespectful, is only an act of a little boy, and immaturity. If you bet on a game, then it worth also to accept the final result by betting only the money you can afford losing, don’t expect making money on every bet.

Players in football especially, sometimes they perform well, other time they are not in good shape and may cause them to commit mistakes which definitely fine. Even best players in the world they had bad moments.

Who is above making a mistake, even when we gamble we fail some of our attempts to win, then why should we see it as a deliberate act for a player to make a own goal without feeling embarrassed by himself, we also need to have some personal feelings on that because these said players were being paid for what they are doing in huge and satisfying amounts for their excellent performance, then why should they work as against their own team and causes lose on them, in this we should know that it's not the gamblers that were being affected alone, but their team inclusive, i cant curse any because no man is perfect.

this will not change anything. own goals are part of the match and can always happens.
I remember too Escobar death. It was pretty sad, and a lot of fake news have spreaded to. When I was playing football (at a professional level in a minor series) I scored too an own goal... it can happens... of course a gambler could blame this but this not means anything, it's just part of the game.

It will ruin the betting atmosphere that we place and it might be even more annoying if it is our favorite club. Of the many bets that I have placed so far, nothing like what you said has ever happened.

It should be the same and we will still experience defeat after an own goal occurs, only the level of annoyance from the defeat that we get is different. Because the own goal ruins our bet and ends in defeat.

There is no point in cursing because we still experience defeat, right? Football will always happen things beyond expectations and the bets we place must sometimes experience defeat even though not by means of the own goal.

This is why gambling is said to be an activity that can never be predicted 100% accurately, there are various things that can happen as a result, and perhaps if gambling could be predicted then the gambler would not have committed such an act and the player would have committed suicide. they will not die by being killed. The point is that anything can happen on the field that can make the result different, and it is not a game if the result can be known, there is no intention in committing an own goal, every player supports their proud team to win.

You have said the correct thing above that all the players there are paid or have salaries in exchange for good performance, and in football, for example, if you make any mistakes then usually you will get a little criticism or even a pay cut, meaning if If the own goal was done on purpose, it would be the same as the player making his career worse in the team, the point is that it doesn't make sense. This means that the person who has a problem is the person who gambles, they only see gambling from the chance of winning while not understanding that losing will always be a part, and I would say that this person is a loser who only wants to win but gets emotional when he loses.

You mean you are already in bad luck and are experiencing a losing streak on your previous games and then this adds up? Man, that was actually very annoying. Can't imagine my self letting that one go away but I think I will start raging on my own room and cursing those players and the gambling site where I play. Yeah it is a loss but I think not an ordinary one. If it's only a normal loss, I think I can still calm down.

Like I said earlier, I only do the crazy stuff in my own room and not in public because I still think it was rude and I can risk my account for doing this. By this, I can say that I'm still not the worse as those other players out there lol.

Yeah, they have brain to think, scoring own goal or do any other stupid will ruin their career. Even though they might earn a good sum of money, but it's not worth to take the risk for long term. I think that they will not score own goal on a purpose, but they might try do other thing like trying to get yellow card, make many fouls or make many corners kick. It doesn't ruin his career since people will not notice it.

That's what is called gambling, if that happens, I think the phenomenon is beyond prediction, the risk of sports betting, that's why bad weather conditions and player injuries during the league take place, a situation like that is also the same as an own goal, no one knows about it, I assume it was an accident, of course I don't need to be upset or frustrated about that.

At least we have bet well, because the accident situation occurred on the field, we don't need to blame those who scored an own goal, Even though there have been some cases of annoyance and anarchy occurring to players who scored own goals, for me it remains professional, logically and in some cases what happened was purely unintentional.

In essence, we have different understanding in such situations, they have different opinions for it.

OK, good discussion I must say...

Personally, I've never had such experience of betting on a team who ended up losing the match because or due to an own goal from one of the team or club player, so, because I lack this experience, I may not really understand how hurtful it may be or feel, but if I must answer the question, I did say in simple terms that "what will be will always be", that is, at the end of the day, a club that has been destined to win a match definitely will win, and the means through which the club win or won doesn't really matter.

So, if for instance, I ever find my self in such a situation, I will gladly accept it as one of the common loses just as other days, and it's important we understand that..
1. Vexing wont turn the table around, what has happened has happened, forget it and move on, esle, you just end up hurting those around you, as well as hurt yourself the more.
2. Cursing the player won't stop the player from getting paid his weekly salary, no body is above mistake, see the own goal as a mistake the player made and forgive him, as well as forgive yourself, and enjoy peace of mind.

This is what we have to realize that gambling has risks whenever we will start placing bets, the percentage of winning and losing is 50/50. We must realize that, and it is natural that we have to bear the risk. There is no guarantee that our prediction will win the bet, the importance of betting according to our ability, do not let the incident repeat itself just because of an own goal in the match, a gambler killed another person just because he lost the bet.

And I agree that sports betting will also be difficult to predict many factors that will occur in a match that we cannot avoid and make the final result may change, as bettors of course we must enjoy betting and not vent emotions when losing bets.

We can't blame the players on the pitch, of course the players have the desire to perform and defend their team, if an own goal occurs it is purely by accident.

No matter whether a team loses by its own goal or the goal scored by the opponents, a loss of the match on the team we bet, means the loss of money. I don't think that we need to blame that we lost the bet because someone from our team did an own goal. Of course, it is also co-incidence and no player does it deliberately.
Although there are not a lot of matches where the game is lost due to an own goal, but still the gambler should be ready for any outcome of the match in any way.

You bring up a nice points that I don't know if it's been there before. As for what you mentioned, I would say that this is not the regular incidents. Moreover, no one does any such thing according to his own wish. It happens suddenly that something like this happens. But for those of us who place bets, something like this will certainly be hard to accept. There are many people who are betting such money that if they lose, they can lose a lot. Such an event must seem unusual to such a bettor. I personally don't see it any differently when something like this happens. I think it one kind of luck. I won't get upset but there are many who blame the players.

Yeah, you last sentence sums it all up, "a gambler should always be ready for any outcome of the match in any way", simple and straight forward.

And personally, when a team we bet on to win a match ended up losing the match as a result of own goal, it is very normal for a typical gambler to feel very disappointed actually, I mean, imagine betting like $10,000 in a team believing they will win the match, that amount shows that you have full confidence and trust in that team that they won't disappoint, but at that end of the day, they lost as a result of own goal, trust me, it won't be an easy one to let go, but in all, like I said before, what has happened has happened, there is no way to rectify it, else, maybe seeking a possible rectification would have been the next line of action, but since that is impossible, it's best to just try as much as possible to forget about the lose and move on, it's simply one of those experiences in life.

An own goal defeat is very different from a regular defeat, bettors will be very disappointed with the result of losing the goal and most likely they will not bet on the same team in the next match. I think you will experience the same disappointment even if you have experienced it because you feel like you lost a bet in vain because you didn't expect an own goal to occur in the match. I have seen some own goals in some Euro matches and you have to be wise in choosing matches that have the potential to win bets rather than choosing certain teams that have no chance of winning in football matches.

You did agree to gamble by choosing your preferred team, but if you were losing because of a minor error by one of the players on your preferred team, you would not be ready yet to gamble and lastly, consider something you could afford to lose. Moreover, releasing your wrath will only waste your vitality.
In gambling, lose or win is a regular occurrence; just consider it as your unfortunate fate in that game. Usually, losing by a small error at your preferred club is something natural.

It simply said, you will be lucky enough in the next game, even if you are unfortunate enough in the current one.

That's true, but there may be some players affiliated with casinos or indeed teams or others who make one player commit an own goal I think he needs to be traumatized by the actions he takes, even if it's an order or not his own desire.

This kind of thing can indeed be explained in two meanings, there are those who are benefited and those who are harmed from the bettor's side, where he who is lucky is he who chooses a team that has that scenario with one opposing player that makes him win from the bets he makes, I think our thoughts are the same it is nothing more than a bet when viewed from the bettor's side, but in terms of professionalism such behavior cannot be tolerated.

On the other hand, on the bettor's side, such engineering is very difficult to identify whether the competing team is playing a fraudulent match or not.

Own goal is a mistake that could come from the best defender. So, it'll be hard to assume which team would score an own goal. It all depends on the pressure of the game. There are times when the attack would be tough a player may be forced to make such mistake in his try to save a goal. Also, with the way it happens, viewers would think the player was careless. And blame him for their losses. Blame is something that will always happen, nobody easily blames himself. It's nothing to bother about if a player losses a game, through an own goal. The cause of the losses doesn't vital role in changing the result. The player just have to accept it, as mentioned above.

Incidents like the one involving Andres Escobar during the 1994 World Cup are indeed tragic and serve as a stark reminder of the grave consequences that can result from errors on the field, particularly when high stakes are involved. In the realm of football, however, such blunders constitute an inherent part of the game: an inevitability befalling even the most skilled players amongst us.

And so, at the conclusion of it all, we must bear in mind that football is an unpredictable sport, a realm teeming with surprises. Pointing fingers at the player or responding with extremes bears no fruit. It is wiser to acknowledge that uncertainty always shrouds itself around betting; embrace it as an element of the entire gambling escapade. Gambling responsibly, with a composed mind, paves the way for relishing the play irrespective of its ending. For, indeed, football abounds in unpredictability and surprise; blaming a player or responding with extremes won't lead anywhere positive; better to acknowledge that uncertainty always surrounds betting and let it be part of your overall gambling experience. Wagering responsibly and keeping a cool head allows you to enjoy the game: come what may, outcome notwithstanding.

Colombia was known for its high rate of criminal activities like drug trafficking, armed robbery, and murder. So the murder of Escobar was fuelled by the existence of violent gangs that were popular at that time. Things have changed significantly in that country and I am not sure losing a bet will lead to the murder of a player except it is proved that the match was fixed by the player.

OP used football as an example and if you have played football you will know that no player willingly scores an own goal. Own goal usually happens due to an unintentional blunder that enters the goalpost. I will get angry but not with the player because it is not intentional. I will take it as my unlucky day and take it in good fate. Why would I curse the player for an error? Cursing is against my belief, so I will not engage in it just because I lost a bet. I would only be angry with the player and even call him some names if it was later discovered that he engaged in match-fixing.

I had a similar feeling yesterday.
I bet on Austria - Türkiye match with over 3.5 goals at the end of the match.
Türkiye scored at the beginning of the match and I was happy. I thought that if it went like this, there would easily be over 3.5 goals in this match, but it turned out to be over 2.5 goals.
Especially in the last minute, our goalkeeper Mert prevented the last minute goal. My coupon was deposited, but I wasn't too upset because my own country advanced to the next round.
It's not the same thing, but I had a similar feeling.

For me there is not added sadness if a team has lost with an own goal or because the other team scored as the end result is the same,you lose your ticket both ways.Most people will try to find any excuse to try and justify the loss and think that they were near a win and the own goal was cause of the failure.These are avid gamblers and they want to continue gambling no matter what happens to them,not so avid gamblers on the other hand can take lessons from own goals which is you are still fighting against destiny and even though you are sure in the choice of a winning team,you are not in charge as you simply cannot predict the future.

I would be mad to the player, for the next few days, I will just let it go since there's no need to thinking about the past. The player has no intention to score own goal, it just ruin his reputation and make his team lose, so we need to think wisely.

It's different.

@OP story talk about the national team lose and the way to win is only one (by beating the opponent).

But, you in this case, your national team win and you can by two ways (either your team score 4 goals or your opponent score 4 goals).

Anyone will feel annoyed if defeat occurs due to an own goal, but bettors must be wise in responding to situations that occur on the field. Basically none of the players wanted this bad experience to happen, but he was helpless and the incident just happened accidentally. If you have difficulty controlling your emotions and find it difficult to accept the incident, you should bet as much as you can or use money that you are prepared to lose. Players will always try to do their best for the club they play for, but this incident can happen to any player. I will accept whatever the result is and admit defeat even if it is caused by an own goal.

When we are betting on sports, especially the type of soccer betting, this time it is very interesting to discuss, because why soccer sports betting is a type of bet that is in great demand or run by most gamblers and not only that, in my opinion soccer sports betting is very interesting to do because we are also sure and believe that the favorite team we support will win.
However, sometimes when soccer sports betting takes place we witness one of the players making the slightest mistake, we feel annoyed like not taking advantage of a good opportunity to be executed properly and there are also when players on our favorite team commit an own goal, it really annoys me and indirectly I must have scolded the player.

I think it’s not helpful if you are going to be emotional with your bets. I mean, why would you? You cannot do anything about it but control your emotions and also manage your risks when you are betting. when you associate yourself with the resort and then finding someone to blame, it shouldn’t be done because it will just create toxicity. it’s best that you understand that it’s always going to be a luck thing. you could improve your chances when you study and bet smart.

It's unfortunate that people take football and other sports more than what they really are to the point of taking the life of another for it, this is unspeakable as far as I am concerned. Even if you are cheated or even scammed in person, that shouldn't have prompted you to take the life of another, it is just absurd.

We've always been preaching about risking the money you can afford to lose in gambling, trading and every other risky activity, now tell me, who is at fault if not the person who did not listen to such risky activities' advice? If not for their greed or desperation, that hurt feeling would have been averted. I hope people can stop all the nonsense they do in the name of betting. >:(

1. This is normal, it will hurt every true supporter of the team. But we should also know that players are humans, there are reflexes that are involuntary, and they may not knowingly do that. It pains them as much as it pains you in most cases.

2. Of course, it is a common loss as far as I am concerned. Whether it is the opponent or the team's player that scored the goal, that's the outcome of the match so I take it as such at the end of the game.

3. I don't and I will never be an extremist in anything, I've trained myself for that.

Own goals are not intentional, except for fixed matches when they are created to satisfy the arrangements between the teams involved. The players are human and they are bound to make mistakes. It's very painful though, especially when you staked on such games and you might be provoked to act out of emotions.

The deal remains that a team's mistake brings glory to the opposing team, there must be one winner in such serious competitions. Also do not forget that your disadvantage is another person's advantage, the own goal might be to another person's breakthrough to win his stakes, so its all natural and those mistakes are bound to happen.

Stake with what you can afford to loose, so you do not get unnecessarily affected by such occurences.

It’s very common for sports fans to have only one team wherever sport that may be that they support, it doesn’t matter if that team sucks or they are constantly winning you just support them

but when it comes to betting, fan loyalty must not come in play in my opinion. sports is the one part of gambling that you might have a higher chance of winning in so set your emotions and biases aside and watch the sport as it is

 it's someone that knows nothing about football that will get easily angry at home goal even when it happens few moments before the end of the match. Football is magical and within a single minute of play, an unexpected event can play out to the surprise of all the teams and fans and you can't sit back in the audience and shift a blaming hands to the players due to his supposed negligence. We saw what played out in the semi finals of Germany vs Spain. It was just the last minute of the match than Germany equalized, would you have said that it was the negligent of the defenders that caused it? What can you now say about the other goal that happens against Germany just when the goal was heading into a penalty shootout? That's just football for you.


As a fan and gambler, if thier is something I'm sure of it's that I can't determine the outcome of a game. As a gambler, what you do is to stake your game and allow players do thier job. If it goes in your favour then that's your lucky day but if it doesn't go in your favour you go back and sit your ass down and come back latter. Why should you be angry at the players? Are you the only one that staked on them?

First of all i think every football fans already know that there is not a single player in the world who wants his team to lose through an own goal so of course the own goal was not intentional and if anyone does it intentionally then the players usually did that to manipulate the matches results or match fixing and if own goal caused my betting lost obviously i would be feeling upset because the player who scored the own goal caused me to lose my bet and ruin my day but nothing i can do to change that because this is the part of the game which sometimes the outcomes of those matches is really unexpected and the most important is this thing happened unpredictable and can happend anytime beyond on my prediction

Yeah, they will angry when they lose and make a wrong analysis. That happens to many people when they see that their analysis is wrong and makes them lose their bet. The match can change anytime so that makes our analysis will be wrong and impact to our losses. We will see an unexpected event from the player, especially if they can change their performance in the middle of the match. That will also change their temporary result because they will have the opportunity to wins the match. But that is sports. We can predict it with right even if we have good skills in analysis.

It's natural to feel bad when an own goal makes you to lose your bet especially if the goal is a decider for the other team to win. After feeling bad I'd get over it and move on because mistakes happen, except if there's a proof that the goal is due to match fixing, but however way that I will feel in such a case, it wouldn't change the fact that the game is lost. When you gamble with the amount that you can afford to loose, then you'll have to be open to accepting whatever the outcome of the match brings, whether you win or lose, it's a gamble and you can't rule out the luck factor.

Own goal is just an unintentional mistake as such no one should be penalized for the action, although I know that most people will see such act as expensive mistake because it is an event that could deprive a team their fortune and it is not a good event to befall a team, having said that, since it is not a deliberate act, there is no offense for such, as a gambler we should always have an open mindset to expect anything, gambling can never be sure until the referee blow the final whistle, even in the estra time anything is possible, for me i don't see any reason to castigate a player base on mere mistake that's inevitable because I strongly believe that as human we are bound to make mistakes and it is natural, there are mistakes that are unavoidable.
Are we going to blame a player whose opponent shot hit for the ball to enter the net, so there are things we don't just blame individuals for, in conclusion, as gambler, I will see this as an unfortunate occurrence for me not to win, although as a human being I will be angry but there is nothing I could do to reverse the occurrence, so I let go and restrategize for another day.

Fans of a particular sport for a team is a very normal thing, but when it comes to betting of course someone has to look at things more realistically because if their opponent is much stronger than the team they support, of course their bet must be towards the opposing team. So that he has a much higher potential for winning than continuing to consider his prestige in supporting the team he likes but losing the bet because he didn't place his bet on the opposing team.

This is gambling and football, and practically, anything can happen just like own games and may the soul of that player shot dead rest in peace and I hope the culprit gets really penalized and this is one of the height gambling can get people especially when they gamble with money they can’t afford to loss.
I don’t know how to put this whole talks but personally, I think am own goal are mostly out of mistakes and no one should act silly be blamed for cases and scenarios like that.

Correct. Honestly, it won't even matter to me if the match is fixed or not. I mean, can we really do something if it's obvious that the one who made the goal did it on purpose? Can we really get our money back? I don't think so. We may try to protest about it but it doesn't mean they will give back the money we bet for.
It's gambling not the association of sports because they can punish those who did it after investigation but we cannot punish the sports bookies who were just there to input the line and the odds.
Might as well just move on and if we can spot the same fixed match then take advantage of it to get back what we lost.

I agree with you. In any football match, a win is a win and a loss is a loss. Basically an own goal won't change anything. I still tolerate own goals that occur due to mistakes made by teammates due to pressure from the opponent. But I would be disappointed if an own goal happened because of something ridiculous like what the Turkish players did against Portugal. Or like the ridiculous mistake Karius made in a club game a few years ago. I will not be sad and accept defeat because we will not be able to predict the future.

I ever had a same situation, where i feel so bad when an own goal makes me lose my bet, and think that it is all because of his mistake, but when i tried to think clearly, i couldn't blame anyone. So i agree that it is all about lucky and unlucky factor, because in gambling we should aware of every risks, not only about the financial but also about the mentality risks. So whenever we do gambling, keep be wise and do with your own risks, and always remember the word "Play Responsibly", so we can be responsible when gambling.

This is an understanding that every sport or bettor needs to have, people don't just make mistakes I games because they want to make mistakes,  they only make mistakes because they are human and at this point they can not help their self to just make things right . In sport games winning is even more important for players than it is important to supporters. It is important people should learn to understand that in game anything can happen and if it is not in favour like the way we wish the game should be, then their is no other choice than accept the result the way it is .

Understand every bettors target is to realize money from an ongoing game which winning is expected but if it ends up being otherwise their is no need to be panic.

There are various kinds of mistakes in football, but regarding own goals they will always happen in football, whether or not they will impact the betting, it all depends on one's luck in betting and must accept the reality of the own goal occurring, and must accept it. defeat even if the defeat comes from a goal from the player himself.

I agree with that, when betting you definitely know the consequences of placing a bet, no matter how big the loss you experience, it remains consistent with your goal for betting, that the person betting is ready to lose money or vice versa.

Yes, we have a dark history from the world of football at that time. This case has shocked the world of football, this tragedy is a warning of the dark side of the world of football, where excessive public pressure and expectations can have fatal consequences. Well, actually the phenomenon of own goals being committed by either players or the goalkeeper himself, is very common in the world of football, especially in league competitions. It's just that this tragedy became a sensation and occurred during the momentum of the 1994 World Cup, and it seems that at that time the regulations were not as strict as they are now. where there are a handful of people who are able to design match results even in international events. In its development, and as football often becomes more modern, mistakes made by players can never be avoided. There are many factors that cause this, whether it is the difficulty of anticipating a ball that comes at high speed, the player's carelessness and even pressure after pressure which makes the player mentally down.

Who knows how many times we have seen moments of a player scoring an own goal, regardless of the league competition. if we involve betting, especially the team we choose that does that. Of course, it's completely normal for a bettor to be upset about it. especially, if the match result does not change. but I personally don't get to the second and third points, because in a match anything can happen. one mistake can have fatal consequences for the team as a whole. For me, no team wants a moment like that to happen. So, if an own goal occurs, it is something that is beyond our predictions as bettors. Just enjoy it, after all there are still lots of other matches that we can watch and involve betting in them.

There those that have taken gambling to another different level entirely that they assume it to be a means of making or doubling their money, and as a result they go on investing huge money in bets. I mostly think of those category of gamblers as reckless people with money. Maybe, they assume football to be simple to play on the field as we watch it on our TV screen, if football was that easy to play as they think, why don't they would have participated in it. And yes, from the whole story as I know, they were all convicted to serve their time.

The perpetrator was a drug baron's bodyguard and was indeed arrested, but not with the mastermind/powerful drug lords who lost a lot in that match, an ordinary person or a die hard fan would not have gone that far.
As we know in 1994, the cartels in Colombia was still strong even though Escobar died in 1993 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%c3%a9s_Escobar

I agree with what Obari said, even though it rarely happens, own goals are something that can be said to be normal in football, and it's part of the game.
And if that makes our bet lose, whether we like it or not, we have to accept it and move on.

No matter how much complaints and nagging, you can't say anything to worsen the player's already hurt feelings - especially since he can't even hear you... Whatever happens, he knows everyone's disappointed at him for messing up..

I won't blame anyone for missing scoring an own goal; It's something that can happen to anyone. The tension and hesitation can be too overwhelming that you'd even let yourself lose, in a crowd of over 80,000 people, chanting and expecting a finesse defence from you - boommm!!! You put it away in your own net!
I'll only have to be careful next time when making a choice of team selections...

Winning a game is always the primary motive of every bettor, at this point their class or status doesn't matter, be it the poor, rich or experienced ,every class of bettor ha e got this primary aim of winning before they may later reconsider to saying it was just for fun or other purposes. The consequences of gambling is inevitable but it comes either in your favour or against but the ability to accept whichever one it is becomes very primary and most important than the act of gambling alone. Because you are either winning or loosing and not the both at same time. Having any of this in mind keeps you ready and you don't happen to get surprised or shocked whenever it is you suffer it but otherwise it may look unbelievable even with all of your efforts.

Whether own goal occur or not, we still gambles and lose the bet, so why should we get more of being worried about that, those that mistakenly make this happen don't intentionally do it, this is what happens mostly by mistakes, though the rate of it's occurrence is also what should not be considered to that extent as being high, I barely hear about the occasion of a player making own goal a d if this happens, then he may find a query to face and be cautioned for that provided if disciplinary action was not taken over the player through whom this occur.

If it was a genuinely an accidental goal that lead to the lost of the tean, I would choose option two and treat it as a common loss by the team.  Unexpected things happens so as long as there no hidden agreement behind the scenes, I'll just let it go.

But of course, if it was deliberate then not only cursing the player but also encouraging/leading other bettor who lost the bet to file a complaint against the player..

Being a fan is one thing and betting on the favorite team is another thing, if a player sells out the game then it is not only a disrespect to the sports but also to the fan, and has no right to play in any league may it be minor or major league.

But I believe the story stated by @OP is a genuine mistake,  sadly a powerful criminal lost a huge amount of money and a sorry won't make up for the loses and possibly ordered the gunman to kill Escobar.

It really doesn't matter if the team my bet is place on lost as a result of an own goal, either by deflection, wrong passes or header. Loosing the game is already a bitter trait to me because I expected them to win and I should be getting profits from the fixture. Own goal isn't something that happens on purpose, the player feels sorry for himself and the point is being awarded to the opponent, nothing more can be done only to live on the current circumstances.

Definitely, I get vexed by the player if the mistake was a careless one as a pro and I still just have to accept the fact but the whole cursing is unnecessary because we as humans are not perfect and mistakes are inevitable.

Some fans allow themselves to be affected by this. I mean, they don’t like to place bets against their team, even when they are very sure that the team their club is playing against will win them. They will still find it difficult to place bets against their team.
 
To some, they said it's disloyalty. I see it as foolishness. The best thing to do if you are a supporter of one team and they are having an active match instead of placing a bet you are sure you might not win is to just avoid that particular game entirely.

this is what makes gambling on sports a lot more unpredictable than just playing games with a certain percentage of chances

even the best athlete in the world is still susceptible to any kinds of mistakes even if it is out of his control
right lol athletes are one of, if not, the most competitive and passionate people there is they are wired differently than non-athletes and they beat themselves up when they make a mistake harder than anyone ever does

Why do I get angered for the mistake caused by a player and of which as gambler we know wining are by chances and if you played the opposite and they would would you say it's mistake or you would be happy for you to have got the right predictions. Usually any mistake caused by a player is thing that has been planned for the match to go that way even though non win the match it is still the same as him losing the matches.

Thuogh it's actually painful to see that a your lost was from a single mistake or personal gain of another person it will be hurt especially when stake with huge amount but this won't lead me to start planning and plotting evil against the players who made that expensive mistake became I know there are still chances to win another game even though I lost huge amount to bet the game.

Gambling is a risky thing to have fun from here you have to take risk.  If someone wants to use gambling as a source of income then he will be crazy to recover his gambling losses.  And that panic will make him make more bad decisions.  And those who gamble for fun will always think about how to get more fun.  So he will never care for his loss.  That's exactly how gambling should be.  In the case of football, it is better to place a sure bet in the last minute of the game even though the odds are very low, but in that case, a large amount is required.  Good profit cannot be made without big amount.  So this strategy will work well for those who gamble for income and those who gamble for fun place advance bets on their favorite teams.  It's a lot of fun.

If you lose in a fair way or because the club you are betting on loses completely to its opponent, that is still acceptable. But feelings of irritation will arise if the defeat is caused by an own goal. This incident was very annoying, but after all, no player wants his team to lose because of his mistake. An own goal occurs accidentally, it is considered normal and acceptable, but for bettors this goal is considered something detrimental because it causes a loss in betting.

If an own goal means I lose a bet I get pissed off but not particularly at the player. It’s not like they do it on purpose, I probably just get annoyed and curse at how unlucky I am and how unfair it is :D

I think what annoys me more and what seems to happen a lot to me is losing bets by very late goals. Regardless of how they’re scored, late goals really annoy me.

Own goals belong to that  class of  the rare events which have the potential to upset the apple-cart resulting in bet loss at the end. When this happens I feel myself backed into a corner as my gambling was over after that moment. However I don't feel guilty for my wrong bet because, rephrasing Maradona, may say to myself that  the own goals are coming from God.

Believe it or not almost everyone who gambles gambles to make money. Although they may enjoy gambling games.  But if you stake money in gambling, it is possible to profit more than 100x through some games. It is precisely because of the desire to win something big that people play gambling games to try their luck at gambling. Someone who quits gambling after a small loss does not suffer greatly.  But those who continue to gamble after gambling losses with the intention of recovering them gradually become deeply addicted to gambling. Because in gambling a person does not always win and does not always lose.  The cycle of profit and loss makes a gambler so deeply addicted and they expect so much from gambling that they take gambling seriously and slowly ruin themselves financially.

Haha an own goal is moment that is truly rare and very rare to find in every match, this does not come from God but because of an unintentional mistake.
Anyone will definitely feel angry, annoyed and disappointed when the bet they made well fails just because an own goal occurred, but that cannot be fixed because when it happens have to accept it.
Blaming the players is also pointless because they also did it without any element of intention, even the players themselves who did it must seem to really regret their actions.
All we can do is let go of this failure and return to betting more calmly, after all, no one would want something like this to happen.

I mean, an own goal is bad overall ,the whole team feels bad, and the person itself feels horrible.

Shit, I even remember now about this time this happened with the Colombian Team and they actually killed the defender...

It was horrible, but that's what I meant, there are other people out there that actually might feel this even worse than you..

At the end of the day, it's just a game.

Simply think that everything has risks and in football, too, scoring an own goal is just an accident that no one wants to happen. To say who will regret the most, I think the player who scored the own goal will be the one who regrets the most because just because of that incident, his team had to concede an unnecessary goal. Therefore, criticizing him not only does not make the situation better, but also pushes him into a corner.

Everything has risks and betting is no exception, accepting fate and letting go of failure is what we should do instead of getting angry, and cursing...

Yeah, I agree...

Actually, losing a game because of an own goal has to be extremely low in probabilities.

I can't remember more than a few games than ended up like that, and I've seen many, many games.

Of course it sucks, but it's such a rare event that it doesn't really matter in my mind.

Soccer is a game that has too many unexpected outcomes, having a bet lost bet as a result of an own goal can be quite painful and frustrating but at the end of the day it's football and mistakes can happen. Own goals are not intentional, they happen accidentally in different ways. If this happens to me it would be very easy to move on from the hurtful feeling because I'm used to the fact that anything can happen in football. Sometimes we as gamblers get angry at the players without realizing how difficult it is to perform on the pitch, it can be very exhausting for the players because they are not robots, it's part of human nature to make mistakes when tired.

Definitely, it's really hard and very frustrating to see that you have a bet and in has a great chance of winning. But as a true gambler, maybe you will curse that player because it caused you big money, but at the end of the day, you really have to moved forward and accept that defeat.

I would agree that we are all humans, but this is very different as they have trained their whole lives playing this sports. However, it happens so there's no one to blame here and probably we can't stop that from happening. Just go and move on and bet another day.

A loss caused by an own goal shouldn't be seen any way different from the normal losses that arise in football matches. Gamblers and fans should accept that own goals is a part of the game which the players have no control over. So getting pained because the goal was mistakenly scored by a member of the team is not necessary. Any gambler who does not want to incur losses for any reason should as well avoid placing bets on that match just for the sake of his own sanity.

I have witnessed lots of own goals from the club I support and I see those as part of the game. Gamblers who would go as far as hurting themselves or inflicting pains on another person just because of an owned have probably placed bets they cannot afford to lose. Maybe next time, they can reduce the size of their bets to avoid causing themselves more pain.

The biggest and most embarrassing mistake in football is of course an own goal so that there are many defeats that are not worthy of victory and defeats that have passed. It's very normal for a football game to have a team lose and win, which actually happens at the end of the game. We need to know again.
The own goal was not intentional but it was very painful for the gamblers who lost, just this one mistake, they will always remember the fatal defeat that caused them. They don't bet on the same team when the next match starts. Everyone makes mistakes. We can't say that something wrong happened to that person. Please understand right?

It doesn't matter how and what kind of defeat I get in sports betting, because when I get a defeat then at least I just think that I have to be better in the next match or bet. Although indeed, sometimes defeat will give a sense of disappointment and moreover, about the own goal that happened was also quite annoying but it only happened at that moment. I mean,  even though I was disappointed with the defeat and the own goal but I won't bring it up again on another occasion, because I can just forget it.

The point is, I don't care about how the team I bet on lost, whether because of an own goal or because of poor performance because after all, defeat in betting is a common thing  and it is natural to happen. Because after all, every player and team will not always play well, and making some mistakes is very possible,  so I just consider it a natural thing.

Wow,this is shocking.. even if it's an old news I'm still surprised and imagine how his family would feel, having lost someone because some angry gambler lost his bet.. it really doesn't make any sense. To me he is addicted as this is a sign of an addicted gambler who is ready to do anything or go to any extent just so he meet up with his gambling goals. There wasn't any good reason as gambling is a game of risk and more reason why I tell people to always wait till the end of every game before making plans with your gambling bets...  Own goal is common in matches, it's simply a mistake sometimes that is cause due to deflection of players to secure their home but unfortunately gets to score their goal post.. as a gambler is see no reason why you should be vexed up though you can be angry if you want to buy dont let your anger affect anyone.

I followed that match when it happened. It was my first time seeing an own goal. I felt pity for Andrés Escobar on the pitch as his demeanor changed immediately that happened, showing it was an honest mistake on his part. His assassination, therefore was a shock as the loss was taken too far. I would've felt really bad if I had a bet on that game and lost it because of that own goal. Anyway, the hurt wouldn't have felt any different if the loss happened in a different way. Loss is loss. There's no happy loss.

Well, is there any spectator/fan who doesn't curse when their team is losing? I doubt.

Yes, of course, I am very annoyed and also curse the player. This is not just a bet, but it is also about the game, and it is very bad if the results of the match are determined by these parties, so there is no fair play if an own goal occurs.

Not sure he was the first footballer to have made such mistake of an own-goal for him to have deserved such, and like you rightly said his carriage explained alot of how unhappy he was about that goal. Experiencing a loss in football isn't something new but what gets we gamblers more upset is how the loss came about but ultimately it's still a loss either way and should be accepted because no bet loss is worth any human life.

Well, is there any spectator/fan who doesn't curse when their team is losing? I doubt.
[/quote] Honestly, I have many times made some curses out of frustration but with time it just dissipates and I think of the next bet to make.

The feeling is from Arabia and the first option is to say a huge amount of rude things to the player who made the own goal, but you also have to consider that things in the game of football can happen that way, it is something that can happen and that without a doubt has happened, the bad thing about this is that I remember that in the year of the USA94 World Cup, Andrés Escobar who made a precise own goal against the USA and after this when they lost and left the World Cup, the player who scored the own goal was killed in Colombia, so despite the fact that it was out of anger, it is something that happens fortuitously, it is impossible for a player to want to harm his own team.

I would be very angry and upset with the player who scored the own goal. Because the victory that should have been mine and even the victory was in sight or the match had ended in the final minutes because the incident destroyed my victory, and it must be very painful and maybe it will make it difficult for me to sleep because it will continue to be haunted by the incident.

However, that is part of the risk and also unexpected events that must still be accepted because in a football match there are always unexpected events that we must still accept even though they are painful.

This is very true, in fact when things happen like this I detail them as if they were extraordinary events that are unlikely to occur but if they do happen it is because that is what can turn a Result around, if we look at it from a personal point of view one becomes angry, but it is part of the game , it is something that exists because sometimes it can be a reason for us to lose a bet or in other Occasions it can benefit us looking for a particular result, so I think that the best thing here is Acceptance, because nothing else can be done.

Definitely I would be so vexed up on that player actually, I remember when a player in my team played out of what was expected I got up from the viewing centres and left, and it's a huge loss though cause they say to whom much is given much is expected of them, so the player ought to do his best in making sure he does his best during the match and making the whole team and fans proud.

I don't think there  is any need to get vexed up since such incident is not intentionally.

I will just take it as a loss like the way other openent will win me.


It will be childish for someone to curse a player simply because he made a mistake. Eveyon is bound to make mistake.

It is good to always enlighten ourselves on the irrationality behind gamblers inflicting pains on themselves or others because they lost a bet on a mistake made by a different person entirely which is the player on the pitch. It just doesn't make a common sense to me honestly. It should always be something to have in mind that gambling is generally a game of luck and that's what makes it a generally predictive game. It is not something anyone has 100% control over. The players who end up causing own goals are mostly the most pained individuals because of their mistakes which they also have no control over, so, as the gambler, you can't pain more than the player is pained. Let's always learn to control our emotions whenever we decide to gamble else it will end up consuming our sanity.

I don't believe that any player intentionally put the ball into their own goal, it all happened by accident. Although it's quite annoying, because the team and I who bet had to lose because of an own goal.

And I think there's no point in cornering or cursing the player who scored the own goal, because that action won't change the score of the match, and the team will still lose, and the money we bet will still be lost.

So in the end, we have to know that in the world of sports, unexpected things always happen, and it's beyond what has been planned. There's no need to corner or curse the player who made the mistake, because this will only make things worse, especially for the player. With the player admitting his mistake or carelessness and being willing to apologize, I think that's more than enough.

We all expect our teams to do better so we could have a bragging right when discussing about football with other team's fans but we shouldn't forget that errors is a part of football that can't be dismissed. No player will intentionally want to dent his career profile with a costly action that could lead to blow on his team but then shits happens, and so we football fan should learn to consider and understand that it's not an easy game and that it's also not error free.

In the game between Colombia and Uruguay in the World Cup qualifiers, an own goal marked a destiny for Colombia, because they were winning, the own goal made Uruguay equalize and after that came Uruguay's other goal, almost at the end of the game Colombia scored the equalizing goal and when everything looked like a tie, in the extra minutes Uruguay's goal came giving them the win, then it could be said that an own goal does have a great impact, only hopefully nothing happens to the player who scored the own goal, just as it happened to Andrés Escobar who scored an own goal in the USA94 World Cup and was killed when he arrived in Colombia.

There's every chances that when they are losing they get vexed on the results but I don't think anyone who is winning would have that mind to be angry at there team or club why because already they are in profits. But we feels so that when goals are caused by team player though to me I would say such goal are not intentionally and that is a huge mistake caused by the player but yet, he must not get crucified for such silly mistake though there could be suspension if any needs arises.

We need to understand that nobody is above mistakes, inasmuch as the own goal is not intentional, we have to take it as one of those unfortunate incidents in football. I'll naturally be angry at the player that mistakenly scored in his own net, I'm losing my bet because of his blunder, but then I'll move on from the lose after the match. Where I won't forgive the player is if it's proven that the own goal is as a result of match fixing, then as many as are involved in it I won't be happy with them. That is why I always advocate to always gamble with the amount that you can afford to loose because anything can happen in a match, it can favor your bet or it won't.

Football is an uncertain game, where anything can happen. We cannot forget that players are also human and it is natural for them to make mistakes. Not all players can keep their performance the same in all matches, in some matches their performance is very good, in some matches their performance is very bad, they do not lose matches intentionally.

But yes, nowadays match fixing is a very bad thing. Currently, as a result of match fixing, every is being cheated. Nowadays, through match fixing, very weak teams defeat very strong teams with the power of money.
That is, Team-A is a very strong team and Team-B is a very weak team, but before the match starts, Team-B fixes the match with Team-A and bribes Team-A with a lot of money to lose the match, as a result, Team-A intentionally performs poorly and loses the match.

So, whether it's a sports game or a casino game, every gambler should gamble with money they can afford to lose. Because currently, many teams illegally win matches through match fixing, so even if your favorite team is playing, then also you cannot bet beyond your means.

What can you feel here? Of course, at least, irritation. Yes, it is quite natural to be angry at the player. I can even understand the desire of some fans to stuff his face. Especially if a big bet was lost. But in general, even if sports betting is perceived as a gambling game, the irritation will quickly pass and the mood will return to normal. This is a common loss.

Yes I remember that incident, it was very concerning where a player had to exchange the ball with his life, but regardless of anything, defeat is not something that will make me behave like a devil, there must be annoyance but in any case defeat is part of the game which means even though for example the team we favor is far superior in terms of statistics, it does not mean that it can guarantee victory. Own goals are a very natural occurrence on the field considering that everyone will never be free from mistakes, and gambling is still gambling which as I said above that defeat will always be part of the game considering the many spaces for unexpected things to happen on the field such as red cards or own goals that make one of the teams that should have won end up losing. So actually this comes back to you about whether you are responsible with a note of understanding the consequences of betting activities or not.

There are many different factors to determine whether an own goal is unintentional or intentional, just by reviewing the situation, we can understand whether the human factor was bribed or was actually just a random accident in the match. Once there are many suspicions of bribery, there is no forgiveness and although angry, we can do nothing but move to a more prestigious club, and it can be said that there are very few such cases in the major leagues, most are just unexpected accidents from a player's lack of concentration.

Maybe we will piss off with player that mistakenly scored in his own net but we know that is coincedencetally happen and not because he want to do that. But most people will blame him doing that mistake and judge him because of his fault which can affect to all players on that team. But if that goal is because of the match fixing, people will be more angry to that player and those who arrange the match fixing and want to kick them all.

And yes, I agree with you to gamble with the money we can afford to lose because that can prevent the big lose especially if that thing happen in the match. We know that everything can happen in the match so we need to anticipate that we don't have to get a big lose.

If the suicide goal is not intentional, I think it is not a problem because it could be a fast ball reflection and other efforts that are precisely to dive, but the condition of the body and the ball is not as expected so that the goal is suicide, the goal is killed by suicide It would be very annoying, as if I wanted to hit the player who did it, because it made the defeat of the bet I made, and if this happened, the match was no longer interesting in my eyes and might be able to hate the players who did it.

Yeah, a lot of people are always saying it here: thta if you want to stake, we should stake the amount of money that we can afford, but imagine some people will go borrow money just because of gambling; they don't mind what will come after they've staked all the amount of money that they borrowed; there's many things that we've got to take a look at before we make some decisions in terms of gambling.

Actually, that's all about gambling, which is a matter of 50/50, but not all people understand that. They will go and stake the amount of money that they can't afford to lose, and at the end of it, they will regret it, for they may always forget that football is on preictable.

Since I started gambling, I have not experience this incident in my bet but if I had such experience on my bet, I will be so mad at the player but yet I can't do more than that. I have bet on different compilation but at the end, the last game was voided and that's what caused me lose the bet. It has happen many times but I can just get upset and can't do more than that.

I remember that awful situation. And i sure that it mustn`t repeat anyway.
Today i`m old enough and try don`t worry in situation when i can`t make something with it.

1. I`m vexed up at any player who scores against my team. But, if if was my team player i also disapointed.
2. Yes, it doesn`t matter how we lost points. The main is the result.
3. It is possible only in situations when i`m sure that it was special mistake. It is very rare situation.

Very important to note that we can’t do any more than get frustrated and angry but at the end of the day you still should be able to walk away from this and move on. It’s very normal for us fans to be disappointed and angry at any athlete as we know how sports can get the better of our emotions but doing anything more than that must mean you weren’t a very good person to start with and you aren’t in control of your emotions.

I've never been in this type of situation, but i accept that it's an occasion where it can happen and we know that anything can happen in a game, an own goal is normal and it doesn't harm a player's career.

There is no way an own goal can be scored, but the team i bet on still has a chance of winning.

No, I don't go as far as to insult the player, because i understand that this can happen and mistakes are part of everyday life.

Wasting time getting angry with a team for scoring an own goal is a depressing situation. The best thing to do is to accept the loss (if the own goal contributed to your team's defeat) and try to relax. It's not worth getting angry over losing bets. You can't always come out on top.

Most people just put forward their emotion without trying to understand the situation. They don't use their brain to analyze the factors of the own goal. If they try to understand it, I'm sure they will be aware that it is an unintentional goal. It is not a league match, it is a World Cup match. I believe no player wants to see his country lose. Andres Escobar must have been devastated to score an own goal, he should get supports from everyone because he did it unintentionally. Sadly, there are people who only think about losing their bets. Even worse, they don't only blame the player but they also killed the player. This is something unacceptable.

Yep. In gambling or betting, we must always be ready to accept a lose. That's why we use the amount of money that we afford to lose. If we are not ready to lose the money, it is better to keep the money and never think to bet. In the football match, there is no guarantee a team can win it. Whether it is caused by own goal or not, any team is possible to lose. So, we don't blame any player if the team got a lose.

Quoting from 1994 means you are not a child here and based on your subject matter, those things are common in the football scene. When I read your out listed actions, I laughed. All gamblers do the number one. A gambler bet against another club and mistakenly, your supportive club player scored his own goal. Lolz.. the player will receive enough insults unless the team win the game and the ticket didn't cut and the gambler win the game.
To some gamblers that is a common loss it is not easy to give up on that.

Unless the gambler bet on 1 goal in the first half by any team then he will not cursed the player and he will be very happy for that because he has won his betting ticket.

People only think what they see in that match so when that thing happen, they will easily to judge the player without think what will happen if they are in the same situation and what they will react with that. But that is normal if they think like that because they don't understand the real situation. No player wants to do that thing even if he is a pro because that can makes their team will lose from the opponent. So we should understand and will not blame that player if he is make a mistake because we believes that they don't wants to do that.

That is why we must be wise if we are playing gambling so we don't have to feels sad if we lose our money. That is the risk of playing gambling so we must understand that the chance to lose the money will still be there while we don't have a big chance to win. Many things can happen in the field including that thing so we should consider about the bet that we will place so we don't have to use too much money. When we can understand about anything can happen in the field, we will not takes seriously with the match and will consider that is just an entertainment.

The annoyance is certain, because you will think that if there is no own goal maybe our bet will win but back again that this is a gambling game whatever the result is still uncertain, so all gamblers must understand this.

There have been several times disappointed with sports betting where the player must be red carded so that the favorite team loses, so for me this is the same as an own goal, right? But the annoyance will quickly pass after not thinking about it anymore.

This is a possibility in the game, even though it rarely happens. As a gambler, you need to anticipate these scenarios and not treat them as impossible. You asked about the gambler's perspective, and here’s how I handle it: I approach gambling in a data-driven way, keeping emotions in control. This helps me stay focused and make more rational decisions throughout my gambling activities.

The OP asked specifically about when an own goal results in your bet being lost, what is there to think about, a loss is a bet being lost in any case, no matter if it is an own goal or not. Own goals can also be different, it can just be a ricochet which is very difficult to reflect. Maybe the reason why the team lost does not matter much if the team lost, although I understand those feelings when you think that everything could have been different if it had not happened, in the end only the result matters.

An own goal that may be able to destroy our betting winnings can of course be a very disappointing moment, but an own goal is a part of football so we can't avoid can happening when the match is played, anger and disappointment are inevitable but what we feel is not necessarily worse than what the player feels,  I personally frankly only consider it as an unlucky bet because after all, it is something that is indeed difficult for every gambler to anticipate.
What happened to Escobar in the past is terrible in my opinion, not only because of the own goal, but because he was tragically shot by a fan who was disappointed in him.

Whenever an experience like this happens, in most cases, my team end up winning the game, and it helps me forget about the own goal. However, for the disappoinment it could have caused to me, I'd be able to forgo it by focusing on other things like what the player has to say to fans for such an error. Though it's painful, especially when money is lost, but that's part of soccer.

Every point matters in the game and its a finals game so every move is a crucial thing so people for sure will be get angry if that situation happens and of course people makes a bet with the match winner and under/over. Now you cant do anything on that because they are the players on the field and they can make mistakes too, you can blame them but at the end of the day its the result of the game so you can move on and make your bet as memories that unforgettable because one of your favorite team lose your capital.

Own goal is a goal which ever way any one may view it considering the fact that what usually lead to own goal is the pressure players are passing through in the field which the fans or gamblers have no idea of how intense this pressure is, leading them into making such mistakes of scoring an own goal, when it happens we have to take in a good fate for the better days, and at such there is no point getting angry on the player that made such mistakes because it can be very ridiculous to say or feel that a player can intentionally make such mistake, it can happen to any one irrespective of how much professional a player is.

The name losing must make us feel annoyed is a natural thing, but indeed it is a subjective nature in this matter because everyone has a definition in responding to all the impact of what is done, including losing bets because there are players who commit suicide.

I understand what you mean in this bet because what is important is the result of the match as a betting.

I would say that everything you said is true, that is why many people say that there is always room for unexpected things to happen and that is the possibility that can happen throughout the minutes of a match that is running, it should be like what you said that a gambler or supporter or management considers that mistakes such as own goals are something that is normal to happen on the field because of the pressure felt by each player, meaning it is a ridiculous act for a gambler to do something unreasonable just because they lost money due to the defeat of the team they chose, because of course there is no element of irresponsibility over the incident, every player definitely wants the best for his own team, meaning maybe I can say that it is an irresponsible gambler in the sense of not being able to accept the risks of gambling activities.

That's why one must not even put 100% hope on their bet with the hope that it will definitely give profit. I am not saying that it's not good to stay positive and expect good result but don't be too sure about the result. I lost so many bets that would have been successful the way I predicted it but the last games were voided. I couldn't express my annoyance but there's nothing more I could do. So, players should also know that most times, there could be some unforseen circumstances.

The incident that took place in that Colombia - USA game of 1994 wasn't anything close to an orchestrated act borne from match fixing but a spontaneous mistake that even the player in question wasn't well pleased with situation himself. Unfortunately some gamblers are known to be compulsive gamblers due to how much they can readily use to gamble without considering if it's what they can afford to lose should any prevailing upset occurs in the game. Escobar in this situation was just a victim of a drug and gambling addict who couldn't take the courage of claiming responsibility of his reckless bet amount on that particular match.

Hmmm, it doesn't sit well with many people and if such a player is within reach, I pray his bones are still in place. :) I understand you though, that is how we should all take it because it is just football, it's not worth hurting anybody or taking it too personally under any guise. But at the same time, some players are too careless and some might do it for pecuniary gain  betting sakes) and many other ignoble reasons. It's no news, many have been caught already. If it is such that it is plainly out of fault, then it will be bad if people are so bitter about the player, it's football, anything can happen. Even me, I do not like it when this happens in a crucial match and the player is so careless to have caused it. We are humans, but we still need to control our emotions.

I can add, that the world seriously changed for last 30 years. Today players don`t care about the results. They going for vacation and post photos from the club after loses. So they don`t care about such mistakes. What they say after it mostly? "Oups"
I only can recommend don`t care about such situation. The players today are just children who forget about their mistake after several hours. You can`t do anything with it, so just forget too.

Of course, the situation when a player scores a goal in his own goal will be unpleasant for the bettor who lost money. Even if it is a ridiculous mistake or intentional behavior, it is unlikely to mitigate the bettor's frustration. The only good thing is that such situations are not so frequent, so they are quickly forgotten. Personally, I do not understand people who because of this curse, persecute, etc. this player. Anything happens in life and you need to be ready for any situation.

Putting hopes on bets sometimes can be considered false hopes because in the true sense it actually will turn out as such, you cannot be putting so much hope on something you cannot be sure of and you know that you are not just lucky dependent at some point, for me gambling shouldn't be something you even give any form of consideration but just hope it turns out well probably in the future but if it doesn't you don't have to really trouble yourself so much about it.

There are lots of situations when you lose the bet. It is just one of them as for me. I don`t think that i would feel better if the goal would be scored on the first minute and by player of the opponent team. The only difference that i will criticize the player of my team for his skills. And, may be, will look with skepticism on him in lineup for next match.

Normally, when one places a bet, you don't have to wish yourself bad luck for the game to cut, you need to stay positive and hope that the gam can be successful but in situation where luck run against you and didn't win the bet, it's not something you should cause harm to yourself or anyone because you lost the bet. That's the reason why people should stake with amount they can afford to lose. In gambling, luck doesn't happen all the time.

How do feel for an own-goal letting to your bet loss? This gambling world frennn anything could happen including something like this when the team that your support dont perform well and do something like suicide goal.

1. Yes you probably get pissed off with that player but you can do nothing even you yell at the stadium that player gonna still play
2. I dont take that as common loss I just angry but I will do take the losses
3. How you curse the player I mean maybe you can talk shit on his social media or put some shitty post on their team media but there is a low chance they gonna read your comment unless that mass people also commenting it

Everyone has different attitude towards every failure or defeat that occurs in betting, responsible person can definitely accept it and be able to consider it as delayed luck so that they will come back another time more carefully in predicting and taking bets.
But it is undeniable that there are also gamblers who feel desperate, they have been controlled by their own emotions to do various stupid things that should not be done, this is about determining the amount of money that can be accepted to be lost also about how the approach purpose of person himself enters gambling to bet.

Yeah, it is all in the mind really.

You want to be as positive as possible, and win big, but at the end of the day the reality is just cold math, and odds.

Most people, by far, end up losing all their money, compared to a very few who win.

I will definitely vexed up on the player who will done these kinds of thing whether he did it by intentionally or unintentionally like if I support the team and didn't make any bet then it will be the same things. But it doesn't mean that I vexed up on that player I will k*ll that player.
As gambling is depend on the luck if our luck faour in bet we won that bet and if our luck doesn't favour to us we will see losses on that bet. And I also believe that gambling is all about the luck so yes I will take it as a common loss by the team just like the others days.

It's useless to curse the players or beat up yourself over it, this would only hurt you if you lose a huge amount of money but it's something that should be expected because football is surrounded by a lot of uncertainties. An own-goal isn't something the players do intentionally, sometimes it's caused by quick reflexes and in the process of trying to be defensive. Anything can happen on the pitch, this is why when you are staking you should do that with caution, you are not in control of how the game is being played, stake what you can afford to lose so the outcome doesn't hurt your feelings.

Sometimes the player can make it specially, we know about such situation. But anyway it is out of our business, there are special organizations who control it. All we can do is to add one more risk factor in our betting.(I try to remember such teams and don`t bet on matches with them)
And you`re right about all the other. And first of all we have to remember that we can lose any bets and don`t bet sum that makes us cry.

That is because we feels angry with that player and think how can that happen. But we don't know how the situation that the player face and he only react by his reflexes and suddenly he make a suicide goal. That often happen in the matches so we should not have to surprise especially if the situation is unpredicted. We can only accept that without feels upset or say a bad words to that player. Yes, we must be careful when placing our bet to avoids the things like that and always place a bet with the amount that we can afford. If we face that situation and lose our money, we will not feel bad because that is normal to see that happen in the match.

I would not feel that sad when an own goal losses my bet, when I feel rage is when my team is winning and in the last minute, last second of the game the other team draws, sounds familiar, you bet it sounds, no longer than yesterday Sparta Prague an absolute favorite to win was leading since early in the game 0-1 and was equalized in the last minute of the game, that is what gets me mad and it lost me a huge odd parlay as all other games came through strangely enough. So I would not care much for an own goal as I know the majority of them are not intentional and those who were found intentional, well those players have either been banned or no one gives a damn to give them even a work of getting the balls outside the field, so no it does not enrage me, equalizing in last minutes is what does.

Fortunately, I has not happened to me yet and honestly I hope it never does, to be honest. Though, if it was my experience and if the money I had at stake was nearly as significant, then I would go as far as never betting in a match as long as that single player is present in the field, that is how far I would go and how far my own grudge would go.
I have a couple of cousins who are quite experienced with betting on football/soccer matches and I must say they would easily curse the player as soon as they saw the own-goal getting scored.

It is said betting and gambling are equally unpredictable and suffering an own goal during an important match (while unlikely) it is a real possibility one cannot ignore from happening.

Isn't an own goal something that happens unexpectedly? and also don't all players never want their team to lose to their opponents? of course, I have that kind of thinking so I think losing money due to such an incident is not something that will make me angry or upset or disappointed because after all everything is still very possible to happen on the field, even without such an error, the fact is that a much stronger team can lose to a weak team that is almost in the relegation zone and that does happen in various leagues.

So maybe I can say that if for example you are angry and emotional because you lost money due to such an incident then maybe I will say that you are not a responsible gambler, because most likely you come only with the desire to win but are not prepared to accept defeat.

Even a big team with a strong defense can make mistakes because this is a normal thing but it rarely happens, but in this situation it is at our stake so we just surrender maybe unlucky, just think of it that way.

Anger and upset are natural but never overdo it, this is a gambling bet so we still consider it unlucky, if you do this excessively then of course he is not ready to be responsible for the defeat of the player.
