As a Gambler and a Die-Hard Fan of a Club Would you Bet Against your Club

As a gambler and a die-hard fan of a club that has been having a terrible season, would you bet against your club, knowing that their loss would be your financial gain? Or would you stay loyal and not bet against them?

^For me, betting against your club could potentially bring you financial gain.
If you prioritize your financial gain above all else, it probably is tempting to bet against your club. Betting against your club could lead to conflicting emotions and a sense of disloyalty, especially if you have a deep-rooted attachment to the team. It might also strain your relationship with fellow fans and affect the overall enjoyment of the sport.
However, the decision is yours to make, considering both your gambling interests and your loyalty as a fan, and if you think it is very important to you to take advantage, be a gambler I think, and separate the word die-hard fan.

We are fans of different football clubs, and whenever there is football banter, we never fail to take sides with our respective clubs. We stand by them no matter what because that's what being a fan of a football club is all about - unwavering loyalty. However, not all of our favorite clubs perform well. A typical case study is Chelsea, who have had one of their worst performances this season, currently occupying the 11th position. The challenges they have faced this season are unlike any other. Just last night, they were brutally defeated by Manchester United, who showed them no mercy, to the extent that they didn't even celebrate one of their goals.

I don't think it has become a crime to make money, even if my clubs are having a successful season, when I see opportunity in them that will make me money, I will bet on it because as a fan, I have been with them for years; emotion aside I know what they are capable of doing and I know some matches they can win and there are some they can't win, so I don't see any valid reason why I wouldn't bet against them. Arsenal for example, anytime they have a match against Manchester City, I do bet that Haaland to have a short on target, this is because in every match they play, Haaland must make attempt to score and a goal on short we likely happen even if he doesn't get a chance to score.

Well, business is business. There isn't any cons on betting against your club, as the objective here is to predict who is going to win and not to cheer for one team or another.

Moreover, from a wider perspective, let's imagine the fans of a team bet against their club, and use the profit made with this bet to help their team financially on the next season, so the club could hire superior players and support staff to improve the team's performance.

That would be crazy, but still practicable, right?

I never go with betting on my favourite team when it play against the leading team. Whenever it plays a match against the team that is equally strong I'll go with the odds of my favourite team without taking into consideration whether the bet will win or not. My prime is to support the team as well have some fun watching the game.

It is a rational move especially when the gap between the team is too obvious.  I also tend to bet on the stronger team when comes to gambling.  After all cheering for our favorite team may bring happiness but it won't feed us if our bet is lost.

When I prefer to spend on games that I wasn't much aware of, I'll prefer to go with the lowest odds. This used to give success, however at times we easily get into traps and stay unlucky.

In my part, I always avoid games that I am not familiar with since they often lead to losses and bankroll depletion.

Exactly.

The club owners and members and other fans won't even get mad at you just because you see the odds is better than the opponent and you think that your favorite club will lose this day. People wouldn't even care if you lose, so why care for the thoughts of others since you're not even associated with the entire club and you're just the same as the others for being a fan.

Yeah crazy. These are like the die hard fans but that's out of scope and you're not obligated to do such for the club as they've got sums of budget per season and per contract of their hired people whether the staff or the players.

But to show support with the money you've won, you're free to do that and no one can stop you unless they think it's inappropriate or harsh for them.

at the end of the day, what matters is how much you have in your pockets? that is true, people won't care if you lose or not. so better think of yourself and not others.
without a doubt, some people even bet on the opposite team if they see such advantage. after all, people do care about their financial gain on this activity, whether you are a die-hard fan or not.

As a gambler and a die-hard fan of a club that has been having a terrible season, would you bet against your club, knowing that their loss would be your financial gain? Or would you stay loyal and not bet against them?

It really depends on the situation and where my favorite team is up against as not all Dominant are always bound to win. There are times that I want to stay loyal to my favorite team and trust them with my money because my analysis tells me that there's a reason to believe that. For example, my favorite team is listed as the underdog but regardless, I'm sure that they can show up something to their sleeves to upset the listed favorite.

Besides, it's worth putting money on Moneyline on a favorite team of mine if they are having a terrible season. It means expect some high odds.

It's just about proper timing on placing money at these worst teams. It's impossible that throughout the season, they can't list at least few wins.

As a gambler and a die-hard fan of a club that has been having a terrible season, would you bet against your club, knowing that their loss would be your financial gain? Or would you stay loyal and not bet against them?

Of course. It is one thing if I want my team to win, and another if I believe, on the basis of the most rational thinking possible, that my team will lose, and I bet accordingly. Besides, if I do that, if my team loses, I win money and if my team wins, I have lost the bet but at least my team has won, so I don't see a problem.

That 'loyalty' you talk about is rubbish, besides the fact that it is impossible for your team to win all the time.

Gambling is a business, supporting a football isn't a business. You're not been paid to support a club and the club mightn't know you. If I know my club can't defeat a particular team and I know they'll will lose to them, there's nothing wrong for me trying to make money from their loss.

You already know youI'll suffer in the hands of the opposition club. So since I can't get the joy of winning let me get some money to buy myself some bear. You gamble to make money and if you're a frequent gambler, you will never bet for your club to win when you know your club can't win.

You already know the club that your team are playing against.Since you can't intentionally make yourself to lose just because of the club you're supporting, I think the same should apply to betting against them. When gambling always try to win not lose intentionally.

This has already happened to me, and to be honest I always support my football club. My club is ranked 1st in my country and is already strong so it's difficult to believe that they will be defeated. However, in international cups it becomes challenging. I would remain loyal to my club even if we were facing teams like Real Madrid or Manchester City. I always have hope that we will win the game no matter what.

Realistically, it's quite difficult to win against one of the best teams in the world but I would never bet against my team. You might call me crazy, but I just love my football club too much and I attend almost all of their games during the season.

[danherbias07]

I would not dare bet against them if I see an opportunity to make money. Just like the Golden State Warriors, I am a big fan of them but when injuries happen and Steph Curry or Klay Thompson will not play then I might bet for the other team instead for them. I don't mind, I am not that hardcore fan that will put my money at risk just because of my emotions.
That's the difference between a gambler and a fan. You don't let your emotions stop you from betting against the team that you like, in any sport, football, baseball, boxing, etc...
I also love betting for the underdogs so even if the favorite is the team I like, I'd rather try to make money first. It's not like they will know that we ain't supporting them at that time just because of our bets.

It is always hard for people to bet against the club thinking of loyalty but as for me i don't see anything like that. If my analysis go against my club I will bet against them to win my bet.even as a die fan I see money more important than the club I am supporting, in fact I am not a die fans  to the level that I will see way that I will make money and ignore it because of the  club  I am supporting.

This topic brings to mind a friend of mine who is a die-hard Arsenal fan. When Arsenal have match against Manchester city recently, he chose Arsenal to win the match, despite the analysis we conducted together showing that the match will favor Manchester City.he want ahead and still stake on Arsenal to win because he don't want to go against his club but he still want to bet match on the game,but I view that as madness.

That's why I don't think too much about loyalty when I find opportunities with opponents who are not favored against my favorite team, while for opponents with very high odds there's nothing wrong with seeking luck there because we know that not always our favorite club will continue to win, sometimes it often happens. lost to a bottom-of-the-table club by surprise.

I also often bet when there are opponents from favorite clubs with very high Odds, usually when the favorite team has won a tournament or has been confirmed to qualify for the preliminaries, sometimes the favorite team often plays not seriously so they may experience a surprising defeat, if there is an opportunity there is such a moment why not me to try it .

Well, if we see them struggling, then that would be a good scenario to bet against them, right? In the first place, placing a bet shouldn't be subjective, so if you find them having bunch of disadvantage over their opponent(s), you should take that chance to win. Gambling is not a way to showcase one 's support for club, team, or anyone in sports.

It depends if you are profit-oriented and you are willing to sacrifice you're being a fan, when an opportunity is presented to you, why not take it its not every day you have an opportunity to make a profit but the opposing team should be an overwhelming favorite to beat your favorite team.
And you must let not anyone knows that you bet against your favorite team, or your friends will mock you for betraying your favorite team and they cannot call you a die-hard fan anymore.

Yes, some fans are willing to sacrifice for their favorite team and even go so far as to bet and defend their team. But it's true that if they place a bet on the opposing team, they must hide it from others. And that's where we need to be wise in playing gambling so that it won't harm anyone, including us. Maybe it's better not to place any bets on our team or vice versa. And it will depend on each person's goals when they see their favorite team playing.

Being an die-hard fan of any football club has never put food on my table or money in my wallet. But my love for the game through sports betting has. Then doesn't it make sense that I follow the path where I find a little bit of happiness and money doing it? Yes, sure it does. The world has some of the finest footballers that has lived and they are making history but then since they are doing what they do and are making money from it, why shouldn't I? Well, this is why I don't fan any club. I banter with friends, draw analysis and that's all. I bet for fun and see it more as a form of entertainment and not as a money making scheme.

[madnessteat]

Everyone is completely different, so it is normal that one soccer fan will never bet against his team, while another can easily do so. Each of us has different priorities - for some it's devotion to their team, and for others it's an opportunity to win money to have a good time with friends. So I can understand both. Personally, I bet against my hometown team when I realized that the team was significantly weaker due to an injury to one of its forwards. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.   

[mindrust]

I usually avoid betting on my favorite team because gambling is about mathematics. Emotions shouldn't be involved in gambling. If you let your emotions make the decisions then you will make lots of wrong decisions and these wrong decisions will results in money loss in the long run. When you are dealing with money, you should be emotionless like a robot. That rule applies to trading as well. If you fall in love with an asset and refuse to sell it no matter how bad it performs, then you will suffer great losses.

You're not getting a lot if you're betting against your favorite team where you are a die-hard, so I'll just skip it and just cheer for your favorite team there will be times when my favorite team will build up so I can continue betting for them if you're betting against them it's like betraying your loyalty to the team, you are not a die-hard fan in a real sense, you're just a casual fan.
