Gambling on friendly matches

[Ziskinberg]

I have even seen many betting on even friendly matches. When there were tournaments, yes, many used to bet on which team will win. Many have been much happier with what they won betting on the correct team. Even teams which were not up to the mark, have won and made people trust on them to bet more on upcoming tournaments. Its everywhere man. Those who have opportunity to gamble, they do gamble and those who are just exposed to betting on matches where they can, they do bet so.  As long as its entertaining and thrilling yes, nothing wrong in it so.

That's how gamblers be like, in every opportunity to place their bets, they will come and bet on it, even friendly matches. They will take part in it and try to win.

Not just by predicting which team will win but also those available odds that they knew, they will take advantage in hope to win decently.

No wrong with that, as there are many exposed gamblers on whatever sides of sport betting who will continue to support and find
their luck within this industry.

The fact that they are betting on friendly matches, they should know that it's different from real competition, so their approach is going to be different so in the end, they will not complain that the outcome is different from their expectation. With gambling, nothing is certain and nothing is easy for sure.

Expected outcome from betting with these friendly matches is really different from the usual matches that we bet. No complains with these matches.
You bet for it so win or lose, you've been aware of the possible outcome and heck, it's gambling, results vary even with your best analysis.

The only time I really consider betting on friendly matches actually is when there is no serious stuff to bet on. During the long breaks. What I thought do bet on during the breaks is the Esports Fifa games, but not the simulated ones. For the simulated ones I am never sure if it's like playing roulette an the house wins. I don't know if there is any way to find a prove by the gambling site whether the simulated games are really simulated. I wonder how they even do that.

In addition, for the favorite team, even though it is a friendly match, people will still bet on their favorite team. for those who really like gambling. because usually it's no longer about money but the fun and hype you get when you see your favorite team playing. this depends on how much he is a fan of the team. but if it's a completely random friendly match that he doesn't know, maybe those people really likes gambling in the sportsbook section even though he doesn't really know the match.

It is no surprise if people always want to bet on many things, not just in gambling games or sports betting, even if that is just for playing for fun and not seriously. As long as they can see the chance to make money, they will use it for their benefit and try to place the bet with their friends if the bookmakers are not available. We can sometimes place a bet for friendly matches or qualifications for the team that will enter the list and sometimes, we are only making a bet with our community or friends.

I think that friendly matches are not the best game to gamble on. Not all players in both team show their best and dont give themselves for 100% on the field. Some use friendly games just to test their new tactics. Some teams play with their reserve, youth or second squad in such games, because they save team starts for a more serious match. For example, that is why we can see FC Barcelona loosing 1:0 to a local Antarctica football team (that is just an example). It is hard to predict the result in such matches.

What's the point of even chasing these?

Real inefficiencies in the market are super hard to come by, and generally trends that we observe in sports gambling come about due to sheer luck as opposed to any real substance.

It's the harsh reality, but it's true. Given sufficient events, there is bound to be one pattern that seemingly repeats itself - for instance you winning on over/unders on friend matches. This is going to work until it doesn't - because there is simply no sound basis or reason for why this bet should have a positive EV in the long run.

If you like to bet on favorites, then this is really a problem, but if not, then imagine what opportunities appear in friendly matches - you can bet on the underdog (the odds will be large) and the probability of winning is high, because in friendly matches the result is very random.

This is still gambling after all so there’s no assurance on which team are going to win, so this is more risky compare to the real matches and friendly matches can also be a fixe match so better to be more careful and wise. I’ve seen this one on the Basketball with the team USA on the recent Olympic, they’ve loss 2 friendly matches very surprising and yet they claim the gold on the real matches, for me friend matches are not worth to bet and its no that exciting to watch.

They always support their teams. If they've got spare money, favorite still have some edge mostly in fans' eyes.

If they bet on them, they've added additional entertainment with their bets. Friendly matches are also games that fans watch, so expect those who are avid fans, they will be there to support the team.

That fact that they also engaged with gambling, they will take it as opportunities not only to enjoy but also to win.

But basically the team that plays in friendly matches will not play in total, because surely they consider the injury and fatigue factors that can be obtained by the players, so if that happens it will certainly be detrimental to the team when the competition starts, so I think victory can belong to the team the smaller team in the match, because usually if a small team fights a big team in a trial  match of course the small team will mobilize their core team to be able to see how big the team strength will be.

Of course, this is gambling and it is associated with risk. Or did you think there is some way to place a bet and get money without risking it? Betting for friendlies has both pros and cons, that's what I wanted to say. If you are a professional bettor or want to be, then you should see these opportunities and use them.

When something is involved with money, automatically it'll have risk associated with it. Difference between the risk associated with gambling and investment is the chance of getting washed off. With investment the chance of complete wash off is low whereas with gambling it can happen in a single bet. When we talk of friendly matches, it is same as other matches. Only few gambling sites give access to these matches. It is good to go with fixed matches, those information won't be got that easy.

OP, are you sure that this thread is still decent enough to keep it open? I'm sure this thread was pretty good during preseason, but now a new season has started and I don't think this thread is still relevant enough to be left open. 12 pages seems like enough to see or hear the opinion of the gamblers and now consider locking it. -Just a suggestion.

If you are the one who used to bet on favorites when it's for a good coeffecient, then you are betting on a friendly game. This is one of the principles for the friendly games ; there are no standars and coach can make up to 12 substitutions during one match and the players motivation isn't the same when the match is official.
Friendly matches are mainly to test the performance of the players and new tactics, this is why It's almost impossible to get a reliable analysis of statistics. This is so dangerous, practice it just for fun and not for big money bets .

It do still counts as long it would be open just like those other gambling topics which had lots of pages but still not consider on locking but for sure this thread would be locked by Mods anytime soon just like on what happened on other threads as well.

On topic reply if i would be gambling on friendly matches? Depends but most of the time i wont re ally be considering on putting up some bets.Why? most of the time on where underdog teams
could beat up the better one. They arent playing on their full potential or all seriousness.
