Will you be betting more during the Olympics?

[paxmao]

Olympics are here! Nowadays you have all the options to bet to almost all sports, but there are not that many occasions to use you knowledge about the international scene of some of the sports to make more interesting bets. For example, football is fine because you would normally get many chances, but what about new sports such as climbing? An also being able to do so almost all day around   Don´t get to crazy about it guys!

Jokes aside, will you be betting on the Olympics? Will that be on top of your usual betting or instead of your usual betting?

On the contrary, I'm betting less as compare to the usual betting that I did on NBA, Tennis, Soccer and any other sports. Maybe I still hasn't caught the Olympic fever, Lol, or maybe there is really a lot of sports to bet with and you are overwhelm that you don't know what and where to bet to. But now, let's say for basketball, we are entering the quarter finals and semis, so at least I will only have a few games to select to do single or parlay betting.

[Oshosondy]

No, I bet strictly on campaigns league, that has been my best chances to win bets, also I prefer to bet during weekends on leagues like EPL, Bundesliga, Seria A, Ligue one and other normal matches, but Champions League has been my best, I hardly lose while betting on champions league matches. Recently, I do not even bet at all, because Olympic is just a game I watch not bet, I bet also strictly on football.

Stick to what you can attempt to analyze. Betting on a sport because it's new or you aren't fully familiar with it will make you go beyond your budget. I stick to what I know gamble with it because it a fun activity for me anything outside this is like getting my self chocked with excess projects. Except I find the game fun over time then I can dive into gambling them having a fixed budget for it

[magneto]

Definitely.

I think that country bias plays a big role in this as well - people are more likely to be emotionally attached enough to their country rather than an independent team that they root for on a casual basis, and there are just so many events that makes it easy to place a lot of parlay bets in a short period of time without having to wait weeks for your betslip to confirm.

I'd say that bookies around the world are having a great period right now. Volumes must be sky high.

No, I am not betting during the Olympics. Even I do not watch the game

I think the Olympics is not attracting much attention from people but I am not sure about that because maybe in one or two countries, the world event such as Olympics can give them the entertainment to see how better their player in many sports. I prefer to watch a movie online than to watch that event

[btc_angela]

Betting on some sports that I'm familiar with. And with this thread, I check my bets, and I'm on a 6 or 7 game losing streak (I haven't notice it though), I just bet and then check it the next day.

So probably I need to slow down on my bets, and choose carefully next time. Although we are nearing the end of it, there could be sports that I can still bounce back and hopefully cover my early losses.

[Wexnident]

I'm just enjoying it at this point. I still have that bit of nationality within me so I'd say that I'd just cheer for my fellow countrymen (even if I know the odds are against them) and enjoy the show, not to say that those who bet on it don't have any nationality though no offense. Plus, with me doing that, I can basically turn off my brain and stop thinking about the technicalities of each team/player in the games, fully enjoying them putting out results that could continuously astound me.

[Kittygalore]

If Philippines get a second gold, I would probably try and bet because I feel like I could make some money out of the remaining matches, I wouldn't spend a lot though, still looking to buy something important and I need some money so I won't bet more but I will still bet nonetheless.

[swogerino]

I didn't watch most of the Olympics this year and my preferred sports are only soccer and F1 which I cannot find almost nothing here at the Olympics.That is the reason why I am not going to bet more during the Olympics because I don't know many of the disciplines that are happening in this tournament and I would be affected greatly by the odds,I would go with the person or teams with the lower odd and I have lost a lot of money when betting on lower odds than when I did bet on bigger ones.

[bittraffic]

I've not tried because I've no idea who the athletes are.
Basketball players are more familiar than in boxing fights. If the team is US where the players are from NBA, you will have no doubt of depositing because its almost an easy win. Although there was a time when they also have a hard time winning. Argentina and Australian team are tough too.

Jokes aside, will you be betting on the Olympics? Will that be on top of your usual betting or instead of your usual betting?

On the contrary, I don't know what to bet on the Olympics tournament in Japan, There are too many types of competitions in the Olympics, so I'm a little confused about which bet to start, besides Olympics is not the same as most other sports such as the UEFA Cup, FIFA and the World Cup.

Instead of having to take risks and have to bet on the Olympics, I'd rather wait for the world cup in Qatar, maybe that's better for me.

[Yogee]

...Will that be on top of your usual betting or instead of your usual betting?

I have to admit that I had to spread my betting budget due to the number of different sports I'm interested in. The hardest thing for me is when to place more and which sport. Should I put more on this? Should I put more on that? I wish I had a deeper pocket so I won't have to choose but that's not the case unfortunately hehehe.

[acener]

I don't really know much about the athletes so I think I would pass for it.
But I do support my country's athletes although I wouldn't risk my money on something I don't know or have a little knowledge about.
But it is good to watch those Olympic I must admit even though I only understand little about the games I still enjoy watching it specially those winning moments of your countrymen.

I don't bet online in any of these matches. I only see the sports if i like and some of my country's athletes when they compete. The last time I saw the badminton and weightlifting branches, all of which were Indonesian athletes. Maybe if I place a bet for Badminton women's doubles on an online betting site I will win a lot but I don't bet. I only bet cigarettes with my friends, they bet on win or lose rules, this is all I do for fun and friendship.

That's an added challenge actually because you never know what's going to happen to your bet. Also, you can actually make an easy win in Olympics if you just bet on US teams.

Personally I would! Because sports like Football or Cricket betting is available throughout the year but uncommon sports like Table Tennis, Badminton, Rowing, swimming, long jump, high jump etc. Are available mostly during the Olympics. The choice of sports is literally unlimited during Olympics. Also such aports usually get mass attention during Olympics and almost all media houses around the world covers them. So an avid sports gambler would never let this situation go out the hand! It's literally raining opportunities for a sports gambler.

[bitzizzix]

I don't bet on the Olympics, because the difference is if our country's athletes compete I don't think about betting because I focus on the match and really hope that the representative athlete from my country wins and gets a gold medal and besides that there are prayers for them every game.
so i don't bet on the olympics and other reasons i just watch when the representative athletes from my country compete, and besides if i bet on the games that are not my country i don't own or know the history of all the athletes from other countries.

[Cling18]

It's hard to choose a single bet since there are really lots of Olympic participants and it's difficult to choose good players to on because they're all professionals in each field. I would rather watch them rather than betting on them since I'm not familiar with each player are well as the other sports. Supporting our bias as for me would be enough.

For me it depends on the promotion, I still remember the last olympics few years ago i've placed bets like crazy as I wanted to participate in their raffle contest and the only requirement was to place a bet in every single olympic sport. I barely completed the requirement since I found their promo mid way through the olympics and it was worth doing as my ticket got picked in the last draw and the reward was 0.5 btc in fiat value it was somewhere around a few hundred dollars. Without these promotions i'd skip the event but there are a few good ones out there that could net you a bit of profit.
