Do you have a sports that you keep betting on even though you don’t watch this sports live or you don’t know the full specifications of this game?

In my case, I keep betting on tennis whenever I have spare money on my casino balance from my VIP rewards(Rakeback) after my long game session on live games. I’m not really a fan of sports betting in general but I do place bet randomly on tennis especially the Asian Handicap on live match. I’m always betting on the underdog that already has 1 set advantage to the favorite players. I do this bet just for fun no string attached.

I believe this is the literal definition of “gamble what you can afford to lose”.  ;D

I keep betting on leagues that I don't watch in Tv or Internet live streaming yet I have access to the club web pages and news in general from Instagram as I follow dozens of sport pages in Instagram so despite not having the physical time to watch the games live I still continue placing bets there with the information I have.I know a lot of other people do the same as me as I see people that are watching sport news and rare are the ones who read because they are fans,most of them are gamblers.

If you stake like 2 or 3 matches and they are playing the matches at the same time, what will you do? Generally I stake matches than I watch matches. What that is most important is to analyse the matches before staking it.

I also like tennis. It is better than football betting to me. Although very risky as well.

This is what that is most important in gambling.

Even for in-play matches, the stats are enough to stake bets.

Table Tennis, I literally don't watch the game and just rely on the favorites but when I realized that most of the time I am losing, I stopped.
Then, I switched to Tennis, I sometimes watch the game. Only one. Although I will bet for like 3-4 games per day if available. I don't like that sport, for me, those games are for rich people, I just want to see the result and I have little knowledge about it.

There are times I will not be able to watch boxing games too but I made my bet a day before the fight starts. Mostly because it will start at the same time as other sports like UFC. or if there's basketball on that day. The big games though, I don't miss them, popular boxers that make a big trend in social media.

I've also tried betting on football before but I don't like 3 picks. The "draw". This is also why I stopped betting on that game although others say it's easy to win in it because of the heavy favorites that are available.

Naturally I love football and I tend to bet more on it. However, I have placed bet on basket ball on few occasions even though I don't know much about it. All I know about basket ball is that a team may likely win but the other betting options are not too clear to me.

When I also feel bored, I also play with Tennis and this too I don't have detail knowledge of like I do with football. As long as there are two options, I can try it entirely leveraging on luck. I don't do this with seriousness as my gambling is tailored around football. I'm equally planning to be fully involved in slot in Rollbit, using small portion of my deposit, as I want to win one of their NFTs.

As someone who can be so busy at times, mostly on my farm land looking after my hustles, I can't count how many times that I have placed bet on football matches that I am not going to watch, I just hope for things to go the way I wanted, and to God be the glory, I lose and I win at times.

The only thing I will miss is the game in action, some matches are very entertaining while some are not so good as expected, I don't place bets on anything else than football and slots casino games, I have someone who place bets on other sports that he is not so into, and few times he get lucky.

I don't think I will ever do the same thing because I don't know much about other sports anyway, I am into UFC too but I enjoy the fights than placing bets, it's better to risk your money on something you are at least familiar with than a complete unfamiliar sports.

I thought you win would be what you will use to conclude this. But the way you said it, it is like you do not gamble irresponsibly and that is very good.

You do not have to watch football matches before you will place bet. You can be tracking what is happening online and going for online statistics like the matches results, the last five matches the club played, the head to head of teams that are playing, knowing if the leagues are good in scoring goals, also knowing if the club have good players that score often.

If you use free money there is no problem in my opinion because you are using the money from your Rakeback or VIP rewards even though you are betting randomly, because as you said you are also betting with money that you are ready to lose, so betting as you like it will not be a problem Also in the end, even if you don't have the talent to bet on sports betting, you can use it to get lucky. You can even use this forum to find accurate information for your sports betting if you are lazy looking for information out there.

Sometimes in soccer thread discussions I often find good discussions and analysis from friends of this forum and I bet with the help of their analysis so I don't completely rely on what I know and analyze, the point is that I still use the money I am ready to lose and as long as it is within the budget, I don't mind losing money because of losing, after all gambling is not just about winning, sometimes we have to experience defeat and accept it as part of gambling. You don't have to watch the sport to gamble either. win or lose just accept the result  ;)

Yes, it's our national league basketball because of my hectic schedule online and offline, I seldom watch the live broadcast but I still bet, because of my cousin and my friend who always insist that I bet in the ending game, a game where you will predict the last two digits of the final score.

I cannot turn down my friend and my cousin, and they are honest even though I forget my bets they always relay what's the winning numbers.
And one thing more they give me lucky numbers to bet which sometimes turns out to be the numbers and I already won several times so how can I say no to these guys?

You're just not a fan, not someone who don't understand and know about the sports, the players etc, so it's make sense you want to gamble on tennis.

If you're didn't even understand about tennis and the players, then it's crazy if you make a bet.

In my case, I bet on MotoGP because I was a fan on this sport, but for fun sometimes I bet Marc Marquez.

Actually I’m looking forward on comment about betting on sports that you literally don’t know the full details of the game/specification. It’s more on betting blindly like betting on dice which you didn’t know how they will get the result but this time do it on sports.

I know tennis but I’m not familiar on the rules and regulations. But I keep betting on this sports because there’s always a lot of games available daily and I keep winning just by sticking to my betting strategy unlike betting on sports that I know well like e-sports and basketball that always end up on bas result. So I keep sticking on this random bets using my spare money to have some fun from real risk.

I don't think it is a definition of gambling what you can afford to lose because I have friends who like to bet on football but do not watch football or can stand the sports. They ask people for games and then they go ahead to play those games with amounts of money sometimes big sometimes small and in some of the cases depending on the level of desperation it is not every amount that they spend on gambling that they can afford to lose.


Did you choose Tennis to bet on even though you don't watch it because of the chances of winning have been rumored to be higher since they only have two possible outcomes either a win or lose or you because like the sports?

I did answer that correctly I don't even know the players who are playing and don't even know the name of the team competing and I did not even know if they are battling in the championships or elimination I'm totally out of knowledge of the competition because I hardly watch basketball although it's our national sports and I did mention that my cousin and my friends are the one feeding the numbers to bet, so I'm betting blindly and they just tell me if I won I did not even bother to ask if I won the bet, there's a miscommunication between us but I believe I provide the right answer based on the quotes, anyway thanks for opening this interesting thread and we move on.

The game I know I have done that for was “cricket” I don’t know anything about cricket and yet I have placed bet on it a couple of times and it came out well - although I only do this when I’m spending less than $0.1 and I’m accumulating different games so that my odd bonus would be high.

The funny part is that each time I make bet like this - I always get the ones I guessed for while the ones I was confident about always end up cutting my game, for the cricket sometimes I’ll pick two with very low odds and just add it to my ticket and the rest would be from sports that I watch and I’m familiar with.

My Game Online.

E-sport on Dota, once I bet on this one. I never watch the game, but just betting on my favourite player or team whoa re playing on the match. Off course, I doing these on 3-5 yers ago with my Item Dota.

I believe my highest bet using (Arcana) with 30$ estimation.

Tennis. I bet on them because there are so many matches a day that I am just betting for the bookmaker's favorite in a match. But what I'm using to bet is the TRX that I have. It's not so much but just wagering 5 TRX at a time keeps my account in the platform alive.

There are few sports actually and although I'm not interested to the sport, I just bet because there are people sharing some of their bets in the forum.

I usually bet on sports games, but mostly on football, which I watch too often. For cricket, tennis, and basketball, I also bet on them, but I don't watch those live games all the time. I just make my predictions based on the experience I have and the strategy that I have developed to use in placing bets on those games. I don't win all the time, but I also don't lose all the time. I don't gamble heavily, and the winnings I get are not usually too significant, unless luckily, but I don't feel affected by the losses because I don't stake too much than I can handle. Imagine having like $100 and you stake just $5 on a bet, splitting it into 5 or 10 bets, which are either $0.5 each or $1. Even if you lose, you wouldn't feel so bad because you just gambled with 5% of your capital. 

I know that many prefer good odds instead of placing a bet on a sport they like. I find it wrong, as I doubt that anyone can be an expert at everything. Such betting might lead to missing good chances or loosing even shen choosing a favourite. I like mma and I mostly bet on there. But sometimes, when casinos offer good odds or a bonus, I look on and try to find luck in football, even though I barely watch the game.

Football. Well I'm not that familiar with the teams and I don't really play this sport on the actual unlike with boxing and basketball that most of us are aware of how things are going. For me, it is important to know how the game itself works 'coz in such way you'd be able to create a more organized analysis of what team or fighter is more likely to win. On my personal point of view, it is fine to bet with gambling games or teams in sportsbetting you are not that familiar with especially if you're just up with entertainment and not profit. If you are chasing for profit then it would be better to know things to check if you're being read on. The reason why I often bet in these games is to calibrate my luck with the games I actually play with.

Indeed odd is a factor. Sometimes if you are not familiar with things, then numbers are the main basis of your bettinf division. If it is a premium league then there'll be no need to remind the personnel. I really hope yhat you should be fine fo accept things.

I have been placing bets on horseback riding this period, as I just happened to discover that it's among the options at one of my regular local casinos.
 
I don't even know how these horses have been performing in the past, but I just fine myself placing bets on them, selecting any of them that I also happen to feel will win the raise, which I have never one day watched a horse raise that I can remember.
 
Another sport game on which I have also placed a few bets is tennis, and I have not watched it before, but I have copied and edited a few games on them and placed a bet that I accidentally won without even knowing the result of the game could have turned out to be that way.

NBA is the easiest to bet since there are lots of fans everywhere who can tell which team will win. i can just call my cousins who are always updated about NBA games but most of the time i just visit NBAA threads and look for those posts and see which one they think will win. i don't even have to watch the games. sadly, it's not always a win but there are times that i get 3/3 that wins. if it's a good enough practice, i can continue doing it.

table tennis, tennis and Ice hockey
these three types of sports are where I usually bet randomly and don't watch the matches because I only try my luck in small amounts and usually I use parlay bets to try my luck with big odds.
the reason I didn't watch the match broadcast is because I don't really like that sport and I'm just saying what I often say here, that I gamble for fun and just try my luck.

I often bet on sports betting but my favorite sport is just football, although sometimes I also bet on the NBA or UFC, but I prefer football, which for me provides more tension for a long time, the sensation of watching a long and satisfying match.
sometimes I also want to watch table tennis or table tennis matches, but when I've only seen 1 set of matches I'm starting to get bored.

Def gambling using the method you say. You realize that some of the pros don't play hard in the 1st set and turn it on in the 2nd and 3rd sets. They try to feel out their opponent. Least that's what I feel is happening.

Back to your question, sometimes I like to bet on the underdog coming back in a basketball game. I have bet the Golden State Warriors many time to come back from down 20 around halftime. Last night some could have won money betting the Lakers to come back and beat the Clippers. Lakers were down 21 and came back to win by 4. Sometimes a longshot gamble pays off.

Most of the time I place bets on football but never watch the games. To be more specific, I place bets on the Premier League because of the promotions. I never watch football games because for me it's kind of boring and football isn't popular in my country. Most of the casinos have great promotions when it comes to that tournament (the Premier League); even if you look at BitcoinTalk's game and round section most of the contests are about the Premier League. Also, most of the popular gambling websites are sponsored by some of the teams in the Premier League. Thats encourage me to place bet but never watch the game.

Actually if you ask me like that the sports that I don't watch but keep gambling on them then I have no sports that I do gambling like this. Actually I love to bet on two sports one football and the others one is cricket. I always take my bet on these two sports and always take a look in the middle time on the first time or at the last time of the match. Moreover I have little experience like that if I know that the match teams strength then I place bet on that match without watching. If there is one high voltage match I always love to watch and bet.

yes, most of the time I also bet on tennis without watching the match...the only sport that I really can't bet in this way... are horse races! I must say that compared to classic bookmakers, crypto-bookmakers offer different options for following live matches.

That's cool because i actually do the same thing but mine is different from yours as I bet on baseball and believe I don't even have a clue on how the game is being decided and even the rules involved in the game but the reason I kept playing the game was because anytime I selected some match base on the odd difference the game always come and plays out well for me and that's why I always flip some spare cash on this sports but it's still funny though because I don't know and don't even watch the sport but the urge to bet on it just keeps playing on my head.

It is not all the time that we would have time to watch all the matches that we bet on, due to some important issues on ground, that is worth handling than watching football for entertainment. I sometimes bet on our local league because there is a club that is the most favorite in the league, so I just place my bet without watching the match. This is because it is always boring, and I am not used to watching boring games. This is why most times I just place my bet and follow up the result online with my phone.

I'm guilty of this too but I think most if not all are guilty of this habit. As a sport gambler, you can't watch all the sports, some are not even fun to watch but for the sake of gambling and precise prediction, you add them to your games and sometimes, it's because there is not available games to pick and instead of forcing picks from a particular games, you go for the other available sports.

I do hockey and Basketball as an additional multiple bets to have a bigger odd most often and I don't watch them but from my experience, I'm familiar with some of them and how some of their players behaves in field and from their last matches, I do put them on my watch list even if I don't play them. That gives me insight about their performance, if they are in form or if they are having difficulty in their respective leagues.

Although my case is different, maybe this will count: Betting on a different league that I don't follow but is still under my favorite sports.

To make it clear, for example, I always bet on basketball as my preferred sport, usually in the NBA and our local basketball league, PBA. But sometimes, when I'm feeling it, extending my betting to other basketball leagues which is not familiar to me, and my knowledge is lacking, like CBA, NCAA, NBL any other basketball league from different countries that was covered by the sportsbook.

My winning rate placing bets from unfamiliar leagues? Not good. :)

After reaching the target/profit, sometimes I bet blindly on Esports and place a bet on the favorite with the odds less than 1.5x.
I even dont know how good or bad the team was, and I never play any of the games in esport such as LoL, Valorant, Crossfire, etc.
Its only for fun, with hope the winning from it can cover the withdrawal fees.

I've done that before when there were some spare amount on my account. It just don't feel right when I see that there's still balance from it and that's why I think that I just bet it randomly.

The journey that I've got from doing this wasn't good. They may be small amounts but they're not really good at all as most of them have been losing. I bet with both small and big odds but never found in doing any of that.

That's why even with small amounts, when done collectively, the amount was still regretful to be seen as just losing money.

There are many sports I don't watch because of my busy schedule and I mostly beg on them. We could have not choice than to vet in the sport even if we don't watch the bet. I even prefer to bet on a particular sport and later after the match has ended, I could conveniently check the results without too much pressure. This is more better for me that to keep watching for the result and it ended to be the opposite of what I bet on. That can be more emotional than just leaving the bet to play then one can check the end result. I don't like watching and being emotional at the same time. It mostly makes me feel somehow especially when the match ended in the opposite of my bet.

When it comes to sports bets, I focus on the sports I enjoy watching. But it is not possible to watch all the games, so you just make your prediction and select the game to want to watch. As I am watching my preferred games, my phone will be in my hands to check the outcomes of other games I placed bets. My most preferred game is football and enjoy betting on games in any football league. Gambling for me is for fun and profit, therefore my target always is to enjoy my games and also win some money. It is easier for me to gamble on the game that I understand. But when most football leagues have ended, my alternative with be slots games on casinos. In some cases, I might be encouraged by some friends to try betting on other sports but I don't get the same level of pleasure. Immediately the league resumes, football bets will be my point of call.

I know don't what the OP really meant, because there are two ways to this

• 1. betting on matches you won't or don't watch
• 2. Betting on an entire sport you don't actually watch

Because I believe it's very much possible to bet on games matches that you don't watch and also betting on leagues that you are not familiar with even on TV. But I think some persons are much okay with such bets because it reduces the tension and make something think positively rather than watching the game play out.

Nope. i havent done such thing because it would really be just that a total waste if you do make use of those funds on something that you arent even aware on what sports it is or what
are the rules or doesnt even have the team that you could bet on. Yes, this is gambling but not on the sense that you would really be just that betting so carelessly and this is why i dont really like
on doing that just because it is really just that a waste of money on something on a bet that you wasnt sure off. I would rather be making up some bets which i do know or something that
i do have the chance on winning. Well, i have tested out on making some bets on other teams but im aware of  what game it is which is on esports on which there is a certain
game on which im aware a bit but not in overall. I did make some blind bets and do able to stick into favorite but ended up on a loss.

Well, I am one person that is a football lover and literally all my betting is always on football games, but there was a certain time in my life I started placing bet on dog race even though I wasn't fully submerged into it, but however I made some bet on dog race sometime past. I didn't continue because it was not my environment of specialty, so I had to stop and concentrated on football where I understand how it works.

But one thing with betting is the fact that you can actually learn or concentrate on a particular sports and understand how it works then you begin to bet on them even though is not your area of specialty, wether it is hockey, tennis, football, basketball etc. what you just need to do is to give some time of concentration to understand how the game works, once you give your time and dedication to a certain sports and you begin to understand those teams that are likely winners and people that are good at it, then you can begin to place your bet on them.

The complexity and sweetness of gambling can only be enjoyed when you try new things especially out of your comfort zone, at first it might look dangerous but it's worth trying.

I feel you. Whenever I have extra funds after placing a bet on my usual sports, I always place a parlay bet on football which in the first place, I don't even know the game rules, game mechanics, and everything about that sport. I'm just depending on pure luck and if I lose it, just move on.

It all started when I luckily won a random bet on a football match way back years ago. It was a parlay bet and most of my selections are DRAW results. The odds on DRAW mostly at football matches are playing from over 3.00 to 5.00, obviously depending on what team is facing. Luckily, I hit those 5 parlay bets. I can't remember the total odds but I take home a big amount.

Since then, I'm hoping I can hit again a random parlay bet with only selecting a DRAW pick.

It's funny when I saw this thread I thought yep this is me.  I'm a fan of watching live hockey but I don't really don't watch it on TV.  What I do like to bet on though is the under during live betting.  Taking teams that typically score a lot that have high over unders but towards the end of the first have not scored yet I will nab the under.  Honestly it's worked out more often than not.

The truth is that it is an interesting topic, it is incredible to me that there are people who do not follow sports but still make sports bets, that for me is like crossing an avenue with my eyes blindfolded, so something incredible turns out for me in these things, because I am I'm used to saying that a sporting interest should be made if and only if things remain the same, at least one research has been done, but I am not capable of making a bet on a sport that I know nothing about, much less that I don't know anything about. I know the teams and I have no idea how the sport is, that's like betting on baseball or basketball, it's something I don't know, and in fact I don't play them, because my sports are different, that's like Enter the casino and play in a slot machine, or in a roulette wheel, or in any game that has to do with zarza games, only luck and nothing of skill, for me sports betting has a lot to do with skill.

For sports betting it has a lot to do with the experience you have in sports, in the way of thinking about the intelligence that is put into it to be able to bet and be sure that you will make money there risking losing, because in part when we do a bet we are sure that our data, that our thinking and decision is the correct one, that the other way around will not happen, for that reason things can happen better in sports betting, in fact I am one of those who think that bets Sports you have a better chance of winning than in any other area of the game, even above poker and black jack because they require skill, strategy and, among other things, the best you can get from luck, because sometimes luck also influences.

Now, things can turn out very differently when we are making blind bets on sports, it is something that seems very reckless to me, and I really admire those who make bets without even knowing about sports.

Funny thing is I do have several sports of this nature I bet on but never get to watch these sports ...but because I have some knowledge on how they are played I think I can get away with it as I check head to heads and past performance which gives me the edge on them and the math does add up, but I wouldn't advise someone else to do this as this could be betting blindly.

This NCAA league is one of my favorites btw, eye balling the rate at which baskets are made boom you have an average and can predict average totals being over or under... among those I don't watch but enjoy.

90 percent of people who gamble always football and I don't think any other sport has the kind of attention that football comes with, me personally I bet in all leagues depending on who is playing when I see some clubs playing I have full assurance of there winning, I only bet once on basketball and I did not enjoy it so I continued with the football being used to, and since my gambling is always based on who is playing, I don't gamble a lot because am trying to avoid the bad habit of turning into an addict, it is only when you watch football that you can enjoy making bet on a particular club because assumption won't help you alone, you need to also know what a particular club is up to. football is not boring I think basketball is boring still finding it difficult to understand that shit. when it comes to sports betting premier league and Champions League draw a lot of attention.  people bet a lot on does leagues. and you will see some casinos even do a kind of collaborate with like Premier League and others.

Aside football as a sport which I love watching and love betting on another sport I like is the Olympics. I watch quit a lot but I've never thought of checking any sports book to know if they have bets for them. If we consider the WWE as a sports the that is another sports betting I'll like to do someday. I discovered that I am knowledgeable about the players. I should give it a try sometime.


Tennis, cool.
In no particular order in the future, I'll like to add basket ball, cricket and boxing to the sports I'll bet on instead of football.

If there’s a good hype with that sports and the team or even with the player, i also place a bet even if I don’t watch that sports more ofter or I don’t support it though I always make sure to monitor my bet so I can still know if I won or not. Betting on a sports that you are not familiar with consist of big risk, so assess your risk appetite and gamble only what you can afford to lose so you wont regret it.

I rarely bet blindly and I could even remember the last time I did or the sport I picked. Maybe I'll do it again with cricket since I don't fully understand the rules in that sport.

As far as watching every game I bet on live then that's not possible for me since I have other things to do. Sometimes it's also played at a time when I have to rest so I just check the results later. If I'm to pick which one I watch the least then I would have to say maybe F1.

i don't really know how possible this is... How else I'm i supposed to make some speculations assuming i wanna wager on them ??  Let's say this is about soccer and their divisions, i can as well wager on any other type of division based off of their recorded performances, i don't really have to watch them play. Aside that, wagering on sports you've got no idea about is just as good as being scammed of those funds.

I don't think I've ever done that, because the purpose of the bets I make is just to increase my enthusiasm and excitement in watching a sporting match, and the sport I like the most is football.

And what I am looking for from the bets I make is not looking for profit but rather adding to the essence of the match I am watching. Because I am a football fan who happens to like betting, not a bettor who likes watching football.

But everyone has their own reasons and preferences regarding betting and sports. There are also some of them who prefer their bets to sports competitions, so they continue to place bets even on sports events that they don't really like. And as long as the bet is made within reasonable limits, it is fine to do so. However, if the bet he takes is already on the verge of being reasonable and is considered to have gone too far. where he continues to place bets on every sporting match he participates in. So you need to be wary of this behavior, because it could indicate that you are indeed addicted to betting.

I don't like watching all games live on TV or live streaming. There are some games that I try to watch when I have free time and most of the time I use websites that provide scores for those games. But I don't see any live streaming site for table tennis games. But when there is a good football or cricket match, I try to watch the live match whenever I get time. Watching the live games while betting gives me some excitement that I don't get at other times. I try to watch live streaming of those games especially when I have big bets. But I don't have the opportunity to watch live games in most of my bets. I place bets before analyzing various data related to the players' condition in that game prior to their wins and losses and then try to know the betting conditions of the game by looking at the score.

Definitely yes!! Same here, because here in our country, there is a season where the bet is strong in what we call gambling "ending" That is a lengthwise card with a numbers written on it. It is related to the game of basketball and you can bet on any numbers that do you think it will be the last game result of the two teams that will play. Actually I don't like to watch basketball, the only reason I bet is because my friends and relatives at home like to watch basketball games and most of them bet on the ending. It's also fun to do especially since I have no idea about the possible final score of the two teams, you can bet on any number and any person who is offered ending cards as long as you can manage the money you put in there, there are as many prizes there, it can be a cash and can also be gadgets.

I don't derive the level of enjoyment or get that feeling of satisfaction in terms of being entertained while watching any other sports game except for football, any other sports I watch could just be for formalities or kill time and for that my interest in betting on them doesn't really trigger that much as I can't particularly remember the last time I did so in my bets history.

However, I do place bets on many football leagues that I don't even watch their league matches but only that I have hints on how those leagues have been progressing and the team's that are in good form, through listening of football news and analysis of previous matches in the different lmajor and minor leagues.

If I don't have an idea about a particular sport I don't bother betting on it, it's not about trying luck for me it's about putting luck and idea together in test believing I have a better chance of winning when the two goes together than when it's just luck alone by me betting on a sport game I am ignorant about their events or specifies.

I like to watch racing like horserace or dog race, so sometimes I could just bet on it without actually knowing so much about them but just because of the speed that I enjoy to watch I could just ask a friend to bet on them. Apart from games I'm not really use to, it is not necessary to bet on football matches that you can predict the outcome. Sometimes I don't watch some league but I could pick them up just because of the odd that I see and I take a lucky chance on them.

I have played such Game countless times, but I play such games when I copy a random prediction code online. I have several prediction site on my telegram, where I pick a code which has been booked and I will place the bet. Most of them are tennis, boxing,  NBA and football. In most of those matches I don't really study them but I just go ahead and place the bet, most at times I win and also loose sometimes. The fact remains that gambling is just gambling. Both the one you predicted and the one you didn't predict. Sometimes you win gamble you didn't predict more than the actual one you predicted.

Isnt it called reckless gambling, when you are not familiar with the sport, and you blindly follow and bet like others do? Especially when you dont watch the game. For example I am not familiar with cricket at all. I just know that one guys must hit the ball little wooden logs, and the other guy must protect it. I would never place a bet on the game and dont watch it. What if on the last second my winning bet turns into draw and I would miss chance to cashout and at least try to save a bit of money?

Many times I placed a bet but I didn't see the match. Some reasons are due to broadcast time and health condition. Often EPL and UCL matches are broadcast at 1 or 2 pm here. It's really beyond my ability to watch it because sometimes I have things to do in the morning.

Usually I reduce the bet amount for these matches that I don't see.

Although I understand your point that its purely done for the thrill and for fun, but personally I do not engage in what I do not understand. If I must bet on another sport, then I would have to be a fan of it, or at least understand its modulus operandi, so it will at least look sane to me.

I love being able to analyze my games well before placing the bets and weighing my options properly, in as much as I play tennis seldomly, and I always enjoyed it right from time, It has never crossed my mind to even bet on it, like in my mind, it doesn't even exist in the bookies. I think I'm addicted to football betting though, but trying out a new thing isn't that bad honestly.  maybe I should look into that direction next time.

I will never bet on sports that I don't know. The reason for sports betting is to have fun while watching it, so there's no sense in putting a bet if you don't understand the game or cannot watch it. For some reason, sometimes I choose not to watch the game, although it's accessible, because I feel nervous when betting a big amount, and I feel more comfortable without watching it. I just choose to watch the replay instead, but not if my bet ends up losing.

Of course, some gamblers even professional ones will do things like this, but they don't watch because they are busy at certain times when the game is going on.
But those who more often usually do this are beginner gamblers who don't really know sports and bet just because they following along or are curious.

I myself, if I have free time that allows me to watch match will bet and watch the match until the end, but it all depends on how busy I.
Moreover, the time for each country will be different, I watch matches only on television or with the streaming broadcasts of sporting events that I subscribe to and of course this makes it easier to watch matches wherever are.
But for every match at the start of the first half, I start as much as possible to be able to watch it with the aim of seeing whether the predictions I make are correct because the course of the match will be the determining factor in the betting predictions made.
If the match doesn't go according to predictions, then obviously I have to change it before actually betting in sports betting, watching the match progress will really help us in making much more mature predictions.
Moreover, in sports such as football will be able to show the strategy used and even the line-up of players when the match has started, obviously watching the match will be very important and can help.

Uhmmm, well, it's good that you are having fun, and it's also okay for you to lose money or still bet on a sports bet even if you are not familiar with it and know that you will lose or have a higher percent of losing that money. But the thing is, what is your purpose? Just to kill time or just waste money? Well, for me, I will never do that, but of course I will not judge you, as it's your own money, not mine.

So anyway, I never tried betting in a sport I'm not familiar with. I only bet on basketball, billiards, and soccer because they have a huge number of bettors, and it's more exciting if you know that there are a lot of bettors in the sport you are betting in. Maybe I value money more; that's why I will never ever bet on a sport that I know I'm going to lose.

I think the common scenario for many players is the same. At first, a new player is too careful about every bet, watches the game, analyzes carefully and thinks through the strategy. But the more bets he makes, and at the same time loses, his interest in the game itself may weaken, this is due to the fact that the player’s focus shifts from the game itself, only to winning. The sport itself becomes less important to him, but only the profit or winning back lost money.

I have heard many stories about how I start betting on any sport that takes place live. Because the player is already emotionally shaken and ready to take any risk. Some people reading this think that they will never do this, but they are wrong. It’s just that some people still don’t know what could happen to them.

I don't actually bet on sports that I don't watch since its like it decreasing my chances to win and a waste of money spend on bets that I'm not familiar with. Usually I go only on sports I know since by knowing the team it give me more confidence to get a win and earn some decent rewards also enjoyment for watching how the game end up.

Maybe we have different likes and opinion regarding on this since there are people just want to test out their luck and bet on sports that they are not familiar then see how it works for them. This applicable only for people which have a lot of balance since they can easily recover. But for people have low budget they better choose only the sport they know so can make sure to enjoy whatever result will show to us.

It's not common to me, all my sports bets are those sports i knew and i enjoy watching, i don't think i can bet something like that, like for no reason, like "oh, there's a championship match now of X sports, i think i will be on this" lol.

But yeah, that's really the literal meaning of it. Haha

Personally, I always do that sometimes. Because it will definitely take a lot of time if I have to watch all the sports matches, for example football, when I place a lot of bets on football matches. Because basically when we place a bet on a sports match, the main thing we have to do is analyze the team that we will choose as our choice in placing the bet. Then when we are sure about the team we have chosen, then the problem of watching the match becomes secondary. Because for a gambler, waiting for results is the main thing. Therefore, when I place bets on sports like football, I personally only watch the matches of teams that I really like and not all of them.

But if the context of your question is directed at sports betting where I place a bet on a sport I know nothing about, I usually don't do that. Because in my opinion the risk of loss is higher. Because as I said above, when placing a bet on a sport you definitely have to do an analysis first. So, for example, if I place a bet on a sport that I don't know and don't like, it will definitely be difficult to do the analysis. Because of course my knowledge about this sport is still zero. So in conclusion, I only place bets on sports that I know and i love.

Valorant and League of Legends.

I stopped playing and watching the pro-scene a few years back, especially for league, as I found the games boring and systemic, once again especially for league. Two teams pit it out in the arena trying to win the game, one team makes a blunder, the other capitalizes on it and takes the win, it's so systemic and it killed the hype for me. However, I still gamble in some matches for these games especially if I'm acquainted with the teams that are at play, as I believe that allows me to maximize my win cons and actually earn something in the process. With these games that are updating on a whole monthly basis just missing out on a season or two's gonna make you feel like you're playing/watching a different game, which is also partly the reason why I don't watch the games anymore even when I place bets on them cause I couldn't for the life of me figure out the inner workings of every match anymore.

What we can be certain of is! Everyone has a favorite sport to bet on, even if they don't watch the game closely or don't know all the details.

As for those of you who enjoy betting on tennis, though you may not consider yourself an avid follower of all forms of gambling. You tend to place bets using some of the VIP reward points that appear from time to time, mostly for Asian Handicaps on underdogs who have edged out favorites.
If you don't have certain knowledge about this game, you can look for an entertaining way to pass the time or improve your gameplay. However, make sure that it is at your discretion and you use the money you can afford to throw away as fun funds only, nothing more.

It isn't compulsory for you to watch all games you bet on. Most gamblers never watch all games they bet on. Is it possible for you to watch all football, tennis, hockey etc of all leagues? Capital NO. They are some site that gives statistics of what can help you in your predictions. This is what most gamblers do. I love to place bet on football but I don't really watch football matches.

Totally depends on a certain gambler or bettor on which it would really be true that there are people who are really that loving on watching games or simply with their bets
and there are indeed individuals who doesnt really watch their bets and just wait up for it to conclude then see the outcomes of their bets whether its a win or lose.
Entertainment would really be coming into those bets on which you do able to make yourself witnessing whether their team is losing or winning.Thrill
could really be felt at the moment you are seeing on what your team is performing. In my case then i do make bets and just simply choose on which team/player who would win,
if ever i do have the time then it would be tending to look and watch it live but if not then i do simply check out the results or outcome later on.

Although I don't usually do it, I have also done this several times in the past. I sometimes tail other bets even in sports that I don't actually watch. Of course I assume that those bets are analyzed by their bettors. They probably think they are the winning bets. Knowing this makes me feel a little safe. Although I don't know the teams or players and I don't know how they play, I still believe that my bets are winning. Most often I tail the bets of my friends.

If that is your real question, then it will be very difficult for you to win the bet because even if you win it is very likely because you are just lucky, because bettors should carry out analysis before choosing their bet to open up the opportunity to win even though it does not rule out the possibility of still losing.
I bet on tennis and football most often and basketball if my favorite team is playing and these three are sports where I often watch the match unless there is a schedule at the same time but watching the match does not open up the opportunity to win the bet it is just a hobby.
Watching the match will open up our knowledge about the club or athlete so that it can be used as analysis material for future bets.
I don't always watch matches to bet on but I definitely bet on clubs or athletes in types of sports that I understand enough

You are right, tennis is a sport where there are always bets available every day because there are so many matches taking place, but I only bet on big events because I don't understand the challenger's event and I don't want to bet randomly or just on favorites because tennis is a sport where the results can be unpredictable are not like badminton where the favorite can almost certainly win, especially in the early rounds of the tournament

I myself not a die-hard sport fan, but it's true that sometimes we find ourselves drawn to certain sports or betting markets for various reasons, maybe for potential profit, excitement of the game or just for entertainment. Just casually gambling with spare funds and without high expectation of winning big is really is gambling with what you can afford to lose.

I bet on sports too often but don't have much time to watch them, especially football games. And in my opinion, watching only has a different sensation when betting, but in essence it is analysis and looking for the best information that can help in making choices.
Especially in matches where the team is the favorite and has a greater chance of winning, and if it's not possible to watch, in my opinion it's not that important. And I also sometimes bet on other sports matches based on feeling and also the track record that I sometimes win even though I don't watch it, I think this happens to almost all gamblers.

I am not a fan of the table tennis neither can I spend little of my time for it and I don't even listen to its rumours so I just totally offline when you bring about the table tennis games conversations.
I love to bet on games I have some urge of interests for even if I don't watch them live. I prefer more of action games that has to do with cheering the teams to activate their energies to keep up positively minded so, even if I bets only on the games I have urges for so even if I fails I could cheers to my supposed team that... You tried even as you lossed, I know how hard you fought to win. Better days ahead.

But I am more likely to bet on the football teams that are not popular and not influential which is impossible to determine which would win.
So I just place my spare bet funds on it with the thought that .. let me just give this amount to the gambling board. I fell 100% sure that it is a lossed game, sometimes I misplaced my bet slip which I wouldn't even know if the game played to my favour or not because the stake already staked to be a wasted fund.
I have never won a game in such scenero before but  though, I have not been pissed towards it because I have never been serious with it in the first place.

When it comes to sports betting I like to watch all games live where I place a bet on, but due to long hours of some games or sometimes multiple matches are being played at the same time it won't always be possible. What is a big no-go for me is to place bets on sports where I don't know the rules or where I am not following the leagues actively. Just because someone else tells me that team xyz is going to win their next match is not enough for me to place my own money on it. I prefer to do my own research before a match instead of trusting someone blindly. In the case I don't have time to watch the match live, I will at least watch the summary of the match afterwards. It's always good to check if I made the right call and bet on the stronger team, or if they only managed to win due to luck.

I think it's difficult to do that, at the least you should be interested in the game to bet on it but at that point you're betting blindly which isn't a recommended thing to do since you're just relying on luck or which teams looks cool. To me, it feels like there needs to be some level of interest and knowledge of the sport that you're betting because without those, the analysis on which one you're picking is going to be mediocre at best, imagine betting on MMA and on a fight against Khabib and you don't know a thing or two about MMA and how good Khabib is and his record is and you just blindly bet then you're going to be seeing more losses this way. Also, who does that anyway? Not watching the match when you're placing a bet? There's got to be some trick to it and some people are probably thinking that it's probably some sort of superstition. Maybe if it comes to not having a lot of time to watch, I can get why you still place bets but not watching and having no basic knowledge on that sport is a really bad practice in my opinion.

Well sometimes I do that although not very often because of intuition and the sight of a good performance I can bet even if I don't see the match being played.
Like some time ago when I didn't watch Leverkusen's match against Mainz and Manchester City against Luton I didn't watch these matches but I very confidently entered these 2 matches into the multi I made in a bet because my intuition said so.

But in the end it certainly ended in victory and I think this kind of thing must also be done by almost everyone by betting anywhere without us seeing the match that happened because it was too confident that the final result would be favorable.

Although sometimes not all should be done like that but in a condition that we are still busy or have other matters in real life then there is no harm in also doing some bets even though we do not see the match that occurs.

Yes, I do! I remember placing bets on random football games, even though I really don't watch them. I know the teams, but I don't have in-depth knowledge about them, so it is kind of risky to place a bet on them. Also, I placed a bet on basketball somewhere in Europe, but I really do not remember it. But as soon as I wake up, it is a win. It really feels good to win on a bet that you really don't know and that still gives you profit.

I don't do this often, as I don't have the guts to consistently do it. If I do this, I am just tailing someone's bet slip. With a little bit of analysis too from my end and looking at that person's winrate, then I will tail his betslip.

Fortunately, the most of the bet slips I am tailing are winning, so it won't be a problem if I don't really watch the sport I am betting on.

If playing online, I think most gamblers will bet on other sports such as tennis, basketball, or even simulated football. Because we are easily attracted to other things when playing on an online web interface. And most sports other than football have a shorter playing time, so we know the results more quickly, so this is also an attraction for players who initially only come to football to bet.
I often play soccer betting, this is my favorite sport and I have a lot of experience playing it. However, I also often bet on basketball. It partly helps me relieve my desire to bet when a football match lasts quite a long time.

It might surprise you that a lot of gambler's, who get caught of in the cycle of trying new options, go ahead to try placing bets on games they have no single idea about. I have a friend who has been betting on hockey and baseball, even when he has no single idea about thr games.
Even if one must bet on games they don't watch, it should at least be a game they're familiar with and have somewhat level of knowledge about.

I have 3 rules actually.
First, I never bet on sports I don't know. Meaning I only bet games where I made some information gathering before the match. Also I must know the sport, league and current situation of both teams/players involved.
Second, I only make bets with 2 way results ( like tennis, basketball, volleyball ), meaning football or hockey and so on that might result in a draw are gone from my list.

Third, I almost never watch the games I bet on live. Sure, I follow the live ticker but watching the actual game is something I never do because seeing my team making too many mistakes or misses annoys me too much, haha.

Point #1- I agree with this on which it would be always best that you shouldnt really be making out some bets on the games or sports that you dont even know. There's no point on doing that.
Point #2- When it come to bet limitation then it would really be that just that depending because if we do see some good opportunity bets on which you do know then numbers
cant really be known.
Point #3- Watching it live? This is where excitement comes up but if you are that someone whose really that becoming that impulsive then it would really be just that wise
that you would really be skipping on watching on.

In overall, it would really be always best that you should really be having that kind of consideration that you shouldn't really be betting on games on which you dont know
The odds or chance of winning would really be just that less in compared into those games which you do know on what it is.

I do agree that the smart way to go would be making sure that you are gambling on something you are aware of and not something you do not watch. I rarely ever do this, even if I do not watch THAT game, it's a sport that I normally watch. It has happened many many many times before when I watch the sport itself, but just happen to miss that specific game, it happens almost every week.

But I rarely, if ever, gamble on anything that I would never watch, it has to be a game where I would watch if I have the time and enjoy the game. Football, Basketball and Formula 1, these are my main trio and I will keep on betting into these games and I guess it would probably not be all that confusing neither, it will be something to watch for without a doubt.

By health condition, I suppose you mean sick here but it's impressive on how you still manage to place a bet despite having that kind of condition. I still think it can affect our decisions or picks, and most of all our bodies.

So, it's better to just refrain from doing it and let your body lest/recover first. That way, you can enjoy betting at its fullest, and you can also do other good things in life if you are not sick, but this is also one of the good things about sports betting, I mean we can place a bet and leave it and come back only later on to know the result if we win or not, but on other forms of gambling, they may need a constant monitoring. For those matches that you missed to watch, I guess you can still watch their replays in your vacant time?

Actually, your approach and mindset towards gambling is good that you come only for fun and maybe I believe that you are one of the gamblers who are quite responsible with whatever results will occur later at the end of the session. On the other hand there is one thing that I question about whether you are able to think responsibly and say that playing just for fun is because you are using the bonus balance from being a VIP user (rakeback) or whether you can also put this kind of responsibility when you bet with a budget that you spend from your personal pocket? This is enough to question me.

On the other hand if you do have a little knowledge about the world of sports then I think do well and according to the knowledge you have in terms of choosing a team, make sure it is a team that is pretty good at that time compared to some other teams, I understand that you are gambling responsibly and can afford to lose but it is a wise decision if you are able to consider everything well in terms of choosing a team that has a greater potential to win because after all we all like the name victory even though basically earning is not our goal.

We have what we called tension in the system, anytime you're in a position to place wager on either your favorite team, you start feeling nervous and that alone will trigger you to missed out on the game that holds such significant odds. Gambling doesn't go most times as planned, I've witnessed how these games played out, it's just time to calmly settled down and observed the game. I can be fully prepared to watch the game but due to the reasons I've already place bets on this particular game, I sensed threats and the best way to avoid them is simply sleep and wake up after the end of the game.

In the past I placed bets on MMA fights and tennis games and NBA games and I didn't watch the games, as I analyzed the games before placing my bets so I didn't see any problem with that, but over time I stopped placing bets on these sports but I still follow them and watch the highlights and the reason I stopped betting on them and not watching the games is because they are games that are held at a time when I am sleeping so I didn't have any good conditions for I watch the games. That's why I only bet on football games, but not all the football games I bet on are games I watch. But even if I don't watch it, I still just need to watch the highlights

because they are teams that I have followed for many years, I know the players and I know how they play, so there is no problem in not watching the football games that I place bets on. I often even think it's good to be this way because it avoids stress. when a person bets on a game and watches that game, the person starts to think a lot about what will happen if that game ends with a negative result, while watching a game in which the person did not place a bet, the person pays more attention to the players and watches no pressure

I think  most persons just pick based on odds, they would make decisions that if the odds are smaller then it would have a higher chance of happening and even without knowing the clubs or sport they might well end up picking rightly than someone else that knows them and makes a wrong Decision, I cases like this it's all about luck even tho gambling is all about luck but I guess you have to be luckier to win bets like this one.

I keep betting on Mobile Legends matches, but I never played it. I understand the game a little because I used to play DOTA II and there are a lot of similarities, but I really don't understand the specific rules, skills, characters, strategies, and so on.

But since it is a popular game here and I love betting, I ended up betting on it. I make bets on both big Mobile Legends tournaments and local matches in the neighborhood. As a matter of fact, just the other day I lost my bet when my friends challenged players from another village.

I have many sports that I can gamble on even though I don't watch the sports and that's boxing, I love gambling on this sport as if I win I'll be happy and when I lose and I know that the individual that made me lose would have received the beating of his life. Boxing is very physical sport and the feelings that comes from knowing that the winner would have beaten up his opponents is what makes me to place a bet on the matches when I have free spare cash left in my gambling account.

I don't have it in mind to bet on boxing match but when I come across them I'll do some research on the both boxers then pick the boxer that I think has more chances to win through knockout. I don't place big bets on boxing matches but just the amount that I'll be okay losing as boxing aren't always predictable. A boxer that we all will be thinking is going to win can end up getting beaten with knockout.

I also have that one sport (rugby, cricket, darts, esports) where it becomes the flavor of the week/month and I would continue betting on it due to sheer luck that keeps going even though I don't research as much about the players and their opponents.

For me, it's League of Legends instead of Mobile Legends.  ;D I would only try to understand the mechanics through the commentators and quickly learn their points because it resembles another game I used to play.

I'm a sports fan and not really into sports but I casually bet on soccer and basketball sometimes. I do not have much time to watch the games due to work. And I cannot control my emotions if ever I'm going to watch the games. So, instead, I regularly check the sports webpages and check on the sports social media to get updates.

I have a bit different approach towards sports betting and gambling in general. When I place bet or gamble, I do it not to earn money, but do it for entertainment, to add a little bit spiciness to watching the game. Those who place bets and dont watch, I think are those who use gambling to earn and physically cant watch all the events they have placed bet on. I prefer to get maximum emotions for the money I have spent on a bet.

Well, that's true and I admit that I bet because I just want to win or I just want to see if my instincts will be right on the possible number that will appear, but when it comes to sports, I don't really want to watch, especially when it's NBA, Maybe I really don't like men sports that's why, but it doesn't mean that if you don't watch it, you don't enjoy it. I also enjoy it somehow because I challenge myself when it comes to the outcome of what I predicted.

Thats how it's supposed to be but to be fair, I think maybe 5% or less of bettors see it the same way.
Almost everybody want's to make money with it, and most of them lose while doing so.
There are a fey lucky winners but the house always wins, as usual.

I have high respect for people that just see and use the entertainment factor of betting and gambling in general, that's the safest and most fun way for sure!

In my personal case, I experienced something similar when I didn't watch sports but dared to place a bet, namely boxing. Actually, I don't like boxing, but at that time the players who appeared were players who were quite familiar. among the people so I dare to place a bet there. and what happened in the end was that the player I bet on won, even though initially I only dared to bet a little, the results were not bad, but the most important thing was that I was happy because my supporting player had won.

I tried some bets on soccer and its fun even without watching the games
But for other sports I think you have to know a little bit about it so it makes not a lot of sense for me to bet on it using only the stats

Interesting to read other answers here to check different opinions

That will work. You just need to get updated so that you are not blindly betting. I mean, you will still have the idea of what is happening in the league and even if it's just a 1 percent increase in the chance to win, then it's okay.
Some gamblers don't even read those, they just go for the favorite or whatever they like. I can say because I also have been there. I lost the whole 5 lines that I made for the day so I need to chase my losses. Went to the table tennis matches because they are fast games but I had no clue about whoever was playing, I just relied on the favorites. It's not easy to win, in 10 games I can only get 2-3 wins and I just increased my losses after that. After that, I stopped that type of guessing bet, I controlled my urge and just waited for the next game on the sport that I preferred and had knowledge about.
We can still place our bets even if we do not watch, as long as we do have an idea about that sport, especially the players or teams.

Makes no sense to me, I would get like maybe someone betting on super bowl or world cup finals, because they are so huge, but still it is not that easy to bet on those without watching. I did bet on super bowl, and I do not watch nfl, but I do watch super bowl every year, many people are like me, we do not watch nfl, the sport itself is not "that" entertaining for us, to be fair it is not huge outside of USA but it is literally the biggest thing in all of USA, so I get that but that doesn't mean that we are going to be getting easy results.

So, I think it is only fair to say that I still watch what I bet on at least, and I do not get why people would bet on what they do not wager on, that still doesn't make sense to me at all.

Have had so much love for basketball back then buy I don't find myself watching it, don't know why probably I would have not placed my mind to explore this game aside having love for it.
Weeks ago I had to make some findings of our betting in the site works and I also place a bet which is an amount I can afford to lose , and I don't seem to regret it cause deep down I so much love this game and want to explore the inner part of it,so with time I believe it will definitely turn out positive.
Nevertheless I'm aware it's not like football,so every rules concerning the game should be learnt in other to enjoy it.so I'm just trying a little bit to place bets sometimes and see how it unfolds.

Usually on esports on which there are really indeed games on which i do skip out on watching and do focus into those main events but it would really be that depending into certain conditions on which
there are really moments that i cant be able to watch because im busy or there's something that i do but if possible then i would really be that tending to watch specially if its finals.
The only important thing on here is that you should really be that knowledgeable into the bets that you are really that making. There would really be no point on making up
bets on games or sports on which you dont even know on what it is or simply into those bets that you dont even know on what it is. Also, there's no fun on betting
on sports that you dont even know.

I don't know how possible is that, for someone to be placing bet on the sport he does not watch or have interest in, when we are watching the sport, it will give us the more insight needed each time we are about to place a bet regarding such game, we needs updates, information's and have to see sometimes for ourselves what we are betting upon in times of sport bets, because our direct visual judgement will be needed in some certain condition in other for us to to wrong play the best we may end in loss through our ignorance.

Everything revolves around "bonuses", "money to lose" - we are entering a world of entertainment where money is not so important. Winning and losing are dull, replaced by a feeling of excitement at the analysis and risky bets. It's like testing your luck, betting on intuition and knowledge "picked up" on forums.

Interestingly, sports betting is no longer limited to sports passion. It becomes an intellectual playground, where you combine many factors: personal judgment, community consultation, and risk taking. Like solving a math problem with many approaches, winning or losing is just the result, but the process of reasoning and analysis is truly attractive.

However, the key point still lies in "budget". This feeling of comfort only exists when everything is under control. Betting occasionally, in reasonable amounts, can provide mental stimulation, but if taken too far, it can easily become a burden.

I’m always betting on NBA without watching it. I’m just relying on the stats on the team prior to their upcoming matches to have a better understanding on how they can perform against their current opponent. I only watch NBA occasionally since it’s not available on free tv channels in my country so I’m just relying on highlights on the internet to easily catch up to the team performance.

I occasionally bet too on baseball and cricket even though I never watch any of this game before. This is part of having fun when I have extra dollars remaining after placing my main bet.

Football is the sports I mostly have my bet on, even though I don't watch most of the matches I do bets on. I only bet because I just felt that this team have an upper hand to win against the team they are against base on their match record review.

In all the football matches I have had my bets on, if I should say to you that I do watch all of them at once, I must be lying to you because not every match that I will make out time to watch. Even if I do, I can't watch more than one match at a time when two or three match at being played at the same time.

Your concluding part is not related to what you narrated in any way, you never added the money you are betting the game with, nor did you talk about the risk level you take by betting it. However, a gambler can bet the way they want and what you think you do not know might be well-known to you. Though all are about gambling but gambling could still be ignorantly analysed well. You have talked about it already, you may not know the teams playing from Adams but when you are watching them live, your observations and instincts could tell you a whole lot about what will happen and that is enough for you to speculate rightly.

Although all is still about gambling but in the process of watching it live, you can make an informed decision simply due to your instinct and still win the match easily. There are many ways gamblers speculate and we can't remove the one you talked about from it. But for me, I bet with the team(s) I am sure about and I use past records in all ramifications to conclude on the betting to be surer on what to do.

I can't always watch live betting games when I gamble. But even if I don't watch it, there is no problem at all. I love sports betting. If I have enough time I definitely try to watch those games and if I can't I place bets only. Because the result is the main purpose. Sometimes I have observed that live betting games create more excitement. I also have more human pressure. When my favorite sports betting games are not live, I place my bets on sports like tennis. I don't watch those games patiently but I am happy with the results.

I give priority to my research and then try to find others research result so that there is no misinformation about my research. I don't watch most sports bets live. I leave everything to my fate.

That is the ideal, to see the casino as what was actually created, not to decapitalize or to do something that actually puts one's life at risk, for example if you watch a person go to the casino and be drunk Well, you can lose a lot of money playing and that is the only thing that should be avoided, therefore if everyone thought that way it could be said that cases of addiction would not exist and it would be very good, because the casino would see it only as a measure of entertainment, that is the total maturity of a human being with games of chance.

Sports betting should also be Seen in that way because there are people who get very excited with sports betting, they cannot stop because they feel that they are doing things wrong, so the possible addiction they have should be stopped so that it does not wreak havoc on them the life of the Player.

No I don’t have any sport that I don’t watch and I do gamble on it. The only sport which I do gamble on is football, and it’s what I watch mostly, I don’t gamble on any other sport, maybe because am not interested in them or maybe one of the most popular sport in my country is football, you will hardly hear about any other sport, so I gamble on football alone. If you are gambling on sport which you don’t follow up, or sport which you have no knowledge about, then I will say you are just wasting your money, because their is higher chances that you are going to lose after placing bet on sports like that, and I don’t know the fun which you will be deriving from that.

Most of the people that I know which are gambling on sport which they have no knowledge about, most of them are the once which are always depending on people making predictions so they do follow their predictions, because how will you randomly gamble on sport which you have zero knowledge about.

You're right, I've seen that there are people who bet that way, just because they be it in the group, in fact I was in a sports group to make bets, but it was on tennis and that's a sport in which I have no experience, apart from the fact that I have never played it, I like it because it is a sport that is very tiring and puts resistance to the maximum, as well as speed and strength, but I don't follow it, I don't know who the best players are nor do I have knowledge of who can come back or something like that.

It's very different when you only follow that sport, like you do when e with soccer and you bet on soccer because there you can apply the things you know apart from what you see on TV, and in many other tools. like in articles or something like that, so that is something that can help you a lot.

I only bet on soccer and sometimes on boxing, because I also like boxing and I follow it, as well as the UFC, but of these sports the one I follow the most is soccer, I think the fact of being a great Fan helps much more, because one always looks for additional information than what is normally found on TV, newscasts, all of this.

Well if you are a real gambler then I believe they would be lots of sports that you actually don't watch but do place a bet on them maybe due to the fact that you have done research on that particular sports, well I don't know if this logic implies to all but for me I think I have a couple of sports like that and one of them is basketball. I have no interest in basketball whatsoever to watch but I do stake on some teams in the sports and another sports is baseball although I was got interested in a particular team which is the Yankees and this was because of a movie I watch about the new York Yankees.

I have a sport that I would like to highlight. This is hockey. I never watch it, for me the game and everything that happens on the court is too fast, the puck moves at such a speed that it is impossible to see it. No matter how many times I try, I can't seem to get my interest in this game. But as for bets, that's a different story.
Regarding the fact that you said that you don’t use money that you can’t afford to lose, then I think this is one of the main or main principles in gambling, you’re right

According to the previous comments, everyone bets on sports that he does not follow, and some of them bet on games whose rules he does not even know. I thought this was a phenomenon among gambling addicts, but everyone seems to enjoy betting just for the sake of betting.

Personally, I only bet on football matches, and it happens many times that I place a bet and do not find time to follow the matches or do not find free channels to follow. But I don't remember betting on any other sport. I have a friend who bets on ice hockey matches without having the slightest idea about them or any channel available to him that broadcasts those matches.

As of recent, Digital Horse Racing  ;D @ https://sportsbet.io/sports/zed-run-horses/next-to-jump

Most of the time when I bet on sportsbetting, the matches that I bet on are basically not seen much live, but in betting, all those matches are betted.
I mostly bet on cricket matches but cricket matches are so long that patience to watch all those matches is usually not available. So I only have work till betting then no time to watch the match and only bet based on the result.
However, football matches are watched occasionally and in cricket, mainly short over games, especially T20 and ODI matches, it is usually possible to watch all those matches in their entirety. However, if there is a test match in cricket, we only bet on the match and finally have to wait depending on the result, but there is no time to watch the whole match.

I do this as well.

Although I have my knowledge about basketball and the league itself, it doesn't mean that someone who doesn't watch the game don't have fully knowledge about it.

But because of hectic schedules and unforeseen timings, we don't have to watch the game but we like placing some bets when we know who's likely to win the game and if the odds are good.

I used to gamble on teams and players I did not know or heard about simply because of the odd the bookmaker allotted to the team. During this period, I used to equate small odds to sure games and so I will accumulate so many small odds from teams and players I don't even know. Each time I do this I don't win and so I started seeing the need to bet on sports I watch so that I can know teams in good form instead of relying on odds allotted to the team by bookies.

This decision made me focus on football betting because I used to watch football so I can tell teams that are on good forms and this has helped a lot in making me record significant winnings. My advice is that gamblers should bet on sports they watch and understand.

I understand the point you are making but from where am standing something tells me you are not that much of a gambler because I believe if you are then you would understand that there is actually nothing like wasting your money because no one is ever certain of their winning because if they are then the whole gambling thing will have another whole twist to it and moreover before going to gamble, you must have isolated the particular funds so that even if or when you lose it, it won't be as if you actually wasted your money.

Good numbers of gambling don’t really watch the game they are betting on, they just understand the online view of the betting and just going straight to gambling, a lot of people are usually do that frequently and it works for them, it not really necessary people are betting steady and they don’t even have time to watch the games because the  gamble in different games, I’m a number one example. The only thing I do is to check the strength of the team and the odd and continue with my prediction, it happens to good numbers of gamblers. To me the kind of game i Usually gambled I won’t have all the time to watch it and it will be more easier and understanding.
So I don’t really see any challenges in betting in a support that you don’t, But watching the support before betting is more better because you will physically experience the both team and pressure between them.

Actually I think real gamblers are passionate and dedicated enough on their thing, so they will love to watch a match that they are betting on. Not only that it was fun but this also works as an analysis which they can use later down the road. When we are trying to win money, researching before placing a bet is a must. Watching a live won't do anything in our winning chance anyway.

If you don't like to watch a basketball game I think it means you also have no interest on the sport and maybe you are only betting for fun and trying your luck? As for the baseball one, relying on a movie to place a bet is no good. You know movies are mostly fictional.

You are absolutely correct; I am a gambler myself, and I have multiple personal encounters with it. In addition, I conducted extensive research on the topic and read about the experiences of numerous other gamblers. I recognize that part of the appeal of gambling is the excitement of the unknown, and that no one can guarantee a win. I also understand that for many people, financial loss may be heartbreaking, particularly if they are gambling with money they cannot afford to lose. I understand that some people can gamble without jeopardizing their financial security, but this does not appear to be the case for everyone. In fact, it appears that the majority of gamblers find the risk of financial loss appealing.
I also recognize that it can be a complicated and tough experience. But, in whatever you do, remember that gambling has both positive and negative sides, and that it can be a tough habit to overcome.

Risking gives them the thrills. It always does and the bigger the money the more exciting for them.
But I don't think they are seriously wagering large amounts of money for a sport they know nothing about. This is like suicide. I like boxing but there's no event every week for boxing. I wouldn't go bet on Cricket all because there is no boxing event, I would rather wait for weeks.

Bettors risk money but they are also finding ways to win which is where the thrills are and it always feels good to know the strategy used works. It's a vindication when a bettor's team wins the match.

Yes, I often see my friends who bet on sports betting, they don't watch the match that is taking place, but they have a good understanding of the team they are betting on and before they place a bet of course they will analyze the history of the match they are betting on. Indeed, some people who place bets on several matches certainly don't have time to watch the match and they prefer to see online the results of the match whether they can win or not.

Including I also often do soccer betting without seeing the match, for reasons of time and busyness that make me not have time to watch the team I bet into, but I still bet.

Yes, of course, we are sure of the analysis we have done before so that we dare to bet without watching the match, one of the things I do is like in parlay betting, it is quite time-consuming if we have to watch every match and it is quite sure that people who bet soccer with parlay on average from them do not watch every match.

I have done this same thing but in soccer teams, more than anything when I support Real Madrid because I do it with a closed eye, for the simple fact that things can be very good for me, I trust in my favorite team, and it is something that I take as a risk, but this is something that I could always take that attribution only with that team, the rest I have many things to consider if I bet on other teams, I have to see what the lineup is like, how the bench is positioned, the Subsequently, see how the team is doing, for example in the PL I make bets that are well established and analyzed, when I see a team that is missing two or three key players, I have to think about whether to make the bet or not.

But in the case of Madrid with a closed eye, I like to trust in the analysis and vision of the game that Ancelott has in the team, although that sometimes means that he loses on occasion, which I must accept with total integrity.

Gamblers love the thrill of risk-taking and the satisfaction that comes from successful wagering. Indeed, for many bettors, the excitement of placing bets and the potential rewards that come with them can be a significant draw. Some may wager larger amounts of money for the added thrill, but they would surely not do so on sports they know little about. Sports betting often involves a degree of knowledge and understanding of the sport being wagered on, as well as the teams and players involved. Betting blindly on unfamiliar sports would indeed be akin to gambling recklessly, which most bettors seek to avoid.

It's important to have familiarity and personal interest in sports betting decisions. Bettors are more likely to wager on sports they are knowledgeable about and passionate about, because this allows them to make more informed decisions and increases their enjoyment of the betting experience. The satisfaction derived from successful betting goes beyond mere financial gains, it's also about the validation of the knowledge and strategies.

In the event that you're a fan of the sport, then you'll want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of the game, and that you've got a good understanding of the game, and that you've got a good understanding of the game, and that you've got a good understanding of the game. This is the advantage of sports betting in addition to the outcome of the bet between winning and losing, which means that if for example you have a fairly broad understanding and insight into a team that can help you in terms of making decisions that have a high probability of winning then you don't need to bet while watching the match if you don't have enough time to watch it or because you are very busy with other things.

So I think it's actually not a problem even if you bet but not by watching the match of a team that you bet on because this is sports betting which is different from other types of bets such as bets that cannot be left like slot machines, dice or others that require your presence to play.

It's unusual for me to bet on any sports or even leagues from my favorite sports that I not closely following. I spells disaster for a bettor to do this. It's irresponsible gambling even in small amounts if this is done regularly.

But there were times where I tried to multi bet on very low odds. Like 10 to 30 games on my multi-bet, all of them have very low odds. But I also do this with small amounts only. And even with low odds it is still not sure to win especially when you are betting on a sport or a league where you have zero to little knowledge.

There are some sports that I don't know specifically about, but I know about them in general terms. And I used to bet on those sports. Of course I don't always bet on those sports but I think it's fun when betting on sports you don't know much about. I have bet on tennis, badminton and basketball. I only know a few names of players who often play in Grand Slams or in Open Tournaments 1000 series. I only know some famous NBA teams like Warriors, Pelican, Lakers, Hornets, but I don't know which one is the strongest in that season. Sometimes I get to know some more specific things when I try to bet on the sport.

Sometimes It's okay to explore in order for us to learn new things about gambling activities. It's kinda challenging for us knowing that we have no any idea on the team that we support and it is giving us an excitement to know if we have a good choice or not, If we are lucky or not. Just like you, there was a time that I've placed a bet on some sports that I didn't know or I didn't like, someone asked me why I'm still placing a bet even if I don't have any Idea? the only thing that I answered is "For fun and excitement only"

I bet in different sports ranging from football, Ice Hockey and Table Tennis but I only watch some games in football. Ever since I started gambling, I haven't watched any game in Ice Hockey that I placed. In fact, most of the teams I don't even know them. I go to a prediction site and then make selections based on what they have predicted. This is similar to what I do when I make selections on Table Tennis. But as for football, the scenario is different for me. I watch football games and so I am knowledgeable in football predictions and so I know where to get my data to make informed decision.

However, I don't think if it's possible to watch all the games in a ticket. Even though I watch football, I still find it difficult to watch all the games in a multibet, reason being that some games can start the same time making it impossible to follow all the games live.

Yes, of course, everyone has a team that he trusts to bet on, it can be said that it is a favorite team that we trust to bet on, and of course you see the opponent first before deciding to bet and leave it. I do this kind of thing on the current English league and Bundesliga teams that I can trust without seeing many factors that must be analyzed so that we are confident in betting.

Whether it's fun or not sometimes I personally want to keep betting, I don't know if it's beyond logic if you look at the benefits but I personally feel it's better to bet and leave it on a team that we already trust, yes although as you said sometimes losing and sometimes winning is a risk, but what makes me believe is the win rate and I'm quite familiar with it.

I don't see any problem in this. I don’t watch 99% of the games on which I place bets (at most I check the text broadcast and only if I make a live bet, if it’s not a live bet then I just wait for the result). I am an adult with a family and spending 2 hours of my life watching just one football match (while I am interested in at least 10 games in each round) is simply unrealistic. Watching a game on tape has no emotional meaning, and football games rarely fit into your schedule, so I study (at my own time, which I choose) statistics, game information, etc. but I watch the game itself only on rare occasions.

I think I am absolutely the same with you, I actually don't watch any other sports matches aside from football, car or motorcycle race, wrestling like WWE, UFC and so on,  but amazingly, the only sports games I know I watch that I actually do bet on is football, and when it comes to other sports games I bet on, I bet alot of on table tennis, volleyball, hockey, this are games I don't actually watch, and neither do I have any idea what their specification are, I don't even know the team and neither do I have any idea how they play, but I just bet on which ever team I feel is winning (for live bets) or any team I feel in my spirit will win.

Actually, sometimes, I do follow other gamblers bets, like on stake, it's very easy to view or see other users betting tickets and actually copy the bets very easily if you want, so, most of the time when I have no idea what or who or which team to bet on, I just go to stake betting log, find betting tickets in table tennis, or volley ball, or hockey, of other games gamblers, and copy the bet of any gambler I feel his or her ticket stand a better chance of winning, and amazing, sometimes I do win, while other times, I lose, but the good thing is, l always have fun doing it, and most importantly, I never bet any money above what I can afford to lose, in fact, I alway try this type of betting with amounts way lower than what I can actually afford to lose, so that, even I lost at the end, it won't or I won't feel like a lost anything.

Yes, there are always possibilities to do things right with the bets, on a personal level, right now betting in favor of Leverkusen is equivalent to a sure win, because really that team is giving everything in the Bundesliga, so this type of are things that we must take care to do, to put into practice in order to generate more confidence, what we want is to make money, and with football it is a very nice way to make money, the English League is a bit complicated, because Actually my favorite is Liverpool, but Arsenal and City are about to go up, however I like Liverpool more so there is Luis Diaz and Salah, apart from the fact that they are under the direction of a Klopp who wants to leave, So it would be great if they could close on a high note if they could win the PL.

I was frequently watching football in the past but now I'm not watching matches often these days. However I still don't see it as an obstacle for me to bet on them.  :)  I have won many times despite not watching the match I bet on. Because even if I don't watch it I still have a good level knowledge about the teams I bet on.

The reason is that I'm still keeping myself up-to-date about the last conditions of teams by reading recent data about them. If I don't have any knowledge about a sports branch then I would never bet on it.  ;D  Because it doesn't look fun to me to tell the truth. However I understand people who are doing it anyway just for some excitement of course.

Everytime I have spared funds after placing a bet on my preferred match, those remaining funds are risks on a football match parlay.

Mostly on football games that I don't even know or am familiar with, and my parlay is composed of several underdog odds and draw odds. Just a random pick as personally, I don't watch football games as it's not hyped here in our country. Til now, I haven't managed yet to hit my parlay bets as I understand that it's hard to win it all. Sometimes out of 6 bets, only 3-4 were being predicted correctly and no improvement til now. :D Not serious about that so it's fine.

i don't have bets where i don't understand the game myself, because i think that if a gambler wants to bet then he must first understand the bet he wants to take. because how could he possibly analyze the match and get the best results from it if he didn't know the sport? it's just a waste of money if a bettor bets on a sport he doesn't understand.

Actually we do have on the same behavior when it comes to this manner on which on the time that i have already that have some spare money after betting on the preferred match then i do really look for something
which it could get in line or together with my current betting choices. Yes, its not something that worth because people would really be saying, why not to bet it all on that preferred match? We do know that when it comes to capital handling or betting amount then there's always that kind of fixed amount that i have been able to set not unless if you are on the time that you are that too emotional or having that stirred up kind of thinking
then you would really be making that all in but if you are on the moment that you are following your gambling rules and discipline then you would really be doing this.

Speaking about betting on sports that i dont watch but keeping on making up some bets? This is only on secondary ones and not on the main ones. NBA is something i do always look and watch
compared when betting on Football but i dont watch the game but only knows the result after the game.

Yes I have a sports like that and that sports is formula 1. I honestly have no idea what the reason game is all about. And I always bit on Louis Hamilton's. I rarely watch them race or even participate but I love to bet on them before really being that I just like it. I am going to take my time to start learning about this sports. My second option will be to bet on Verstappen or Alonso.

It's so funny actually thinking that I do this quite some times and very often, there was this channel I belong to that mostly gave codes to games for us to stake, one of this games where ice hockey and mba basketball that I did not even have any idea about, If I were asked on why grounds that I feel the predictions would work out I had none, yet I would always place my bet like it was as sure banker, I did lose some times and won some times, I was a fun experience untill I lost my account that I was joined on the channel and since then I have not had such opportunity again.

Now after flying over this thread I suddenly remembered my early days on online betting.
For some reason I really liked to bet on cricket, even though I have 0 connection to the game, it's teams or even back then to the rules.

I just knew when the team is coming to the end of the inning, let's say they play 50 innings at max, and still they had many wickets left they were shooting at the ball like crazy, collecting 9s and 4s like there is no tomorrow.
So I placed bets on o/u runs per inning at the end of games hoping for like 15-20 runs per inning, hahaha.

Today I would never place wagers like that but at the start I did, also bet on football regularly which now I would never do.
Oh, and now that I think of it I also bet on Snooker, which I also have 0 interest in, haha.
