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

[letteredhub]

As a football lover and a club fan I will always support my club no matter who their rival could be,  for that's the spirit of fanship. Betting against my club does makes me feel some slight guilt inside as it's like I am never always there for a club I claim to support when they're playing against another team with no winning chance, only giving support to your club when they are at the advantage end doesn't show much of a die-hard fan you are. I place my bet in favor of my club at anytime not minding the odds. I only give attention to odds when it's not my club.

When betting i don’t let my emotions take charge, nobody wants his team to loose but when the odds are not in favor of my team and in actuality i can clearly see it would be difficult for my team then i will have to bet against them but in most cases i often choose not to bet on the game, i skip that match because I can’t bear to see my team loose. But come to think of it, if the odds are against your team and you end up placing a bet against them and the outcome was positive, your team lost but you won the bet i don’t think you will be sad about the outcome. It happened to me once and i was not that sad because i have money to spend. Its just like someone pay you if your team losses.

Ideally, if a true gambler would do his betting. they are well aware that as gamblers, they will put their emotions aside, even if it involves the team they are passionate about. why, so they can think from a neutral, objective point of view. plus, without any aggravating factors. after that, they will analyze it based on the insights and knowledge they have. if the choice is not ideal for betting on the team they are interested in, they will usually look at various other options. otherwise, they could just bet on the team that is more profitable for them. in essence, they will choose the more profitable option. that way, they will benefit from the gamble.

Unlike us, we ourselves tend not to bet if the opponents are above them. for example, Arsenal vs City. automatically, I would not bet on Arsenal even though it is my favorite team. because theoretically, City is far above Arsenal's level. except, I will have another option like Under/Over. or, I wouldn't bet at all. not really, to bet on City. in essence, all gamblers will do as they wish. in fact, not infrequently, even though a team is an Underdog team, as true fans they will happily bet on their favorite team. so, we will find various opinions on the questions raised by the OP.

Being a bettor and a loyal to your club or team is a two complete different things as there are no connections to begin with. I personally enjoys watching my favorite team and do some bet as well in their favor as long as I know that their chances to win are good as being a fan, I somewhat know what are their strengths and limitations, but if there's an instance that I don't see them winning, I just watch the game and skipped the betting as I know what is the likelihood of the outcome.

Skipping that particular bet is the most respectful thing to do as it shows your loyalty to the club but football is evolving, there's no loyalty again in football. Players that ones who die for the clubs they're playing at no longer has that as if they get a higher salary they'll leave instantly.

We can see players now leaving a rival club to join another rival clubs and act like they don't care. Football has turned into a business so we can profit from our teams weaknesses without feeling guilty. Since you know your team very well, it just makes sense to use them in making money.

Betting against your favorite club doesn't make you less of a fan, it's just like you betting in favor of a rival club because you know they can win you your bet. it just means you're doing business and when doing business you go for the best decision that'll make you profits.

It would really be according into you personal point of views on which if you cant really afford on betting against on the team that you do like the most then its really just that true that it would be better to skip out such
bet or wouldnt really be making a bet at all. A true gambler or who does really mind off about making profits on gambling wouldnt really be something that would be sticking on a particular team even though it would really be their favorite but since they've seen that it is really that on disadvantage then it would really be normal that they would really be making out adjustments and would made out some counter betting.
If you are die hard fan then you would be making out those blind bets despite on being that too obvious on whose the favorite or would likely to win. It isnt really that bad on having that kind of behavior
because on the time that you do make out bets then you are pretty aware on whose likely to win and you have just bet according into your own interest and principle.

The thing is that, sports bets are not the same as other gambling games where players play for fun,  but in sports bets,  it's all about winning so is not for being a fan but for winning in the bets,  and if the team playing against your team is stronger and likely to win the match then the club will get my winning ticket because it far better to win the bet by selecting the other team instead losing it because you want to show solidarity to your team.

So for me yes,  I would pick a club that will win and not based on being a fan of the other and lose my bet.

what is more certain in this gambling is about winning and losing or wasting money or gaining profits. so that no one wants to bet on his favorite team but the opponent looks to win.

you are the typical realistic gambler that you don't think you want to waste your bet and still make a profit betting on the opposing team or the winning team. for me it is natural because gamblers don't want to lose their bet on their favorite team which has seen losing at the end of the game just wasting money and I myself will do the same thing.
I think most people here would definitely choose to bet on the winning team, not the favorite losing team.

Like everyone else a gamble does have a favorite team. Same woth boxing, they are fans of someone but if this fighter they like are matched to someone on the heavier rank, its another level. A gambler will weigh in his interest to make money than being a fan.

Those who will bet for Errol Spence I guess sees a different result but Crawford will be the champ of the people.

Then it means you're not ready to win whenever it's your club turn to play, you should reaalise that the fact that you're gambling is not to support your club but instead to either earn some cash or get entertained. A gambler should know when it's time to set aside their emotion an place a bet against their club rather than for the to keep consoling themselves after placing a bet in favour of their club when the odds vividly revealed that they stood no chance against their opponent.
If it happens that I have to place a bet against my club to win the bet I'm certain I won't have a second thought about it.

Yes, of course, I will also do things that always think of supporting the club that is supported, after all, if indeed the club that is supported is against a great club, I think you don't need to bet, it's more than enough, you don't need to bet on another club that is your opponent, even though in the end it's a club win against a club that we support, it seems that it feels bad to win a bet against a club that has been supported so far.

But unfortunately I'm not wrong to support the club as an example of Manchester City, they happen to be a club that is quite good in performance as well as the quality of their play is consistent in every match so I never bet on other clubs, just bet on Manchester City as the winner and to be honest during the UCL yesterday I am quite profitable betting for the clubs I support like Manchester City.

Your personal gaming tactics show an astute, cautious approach, yet it may not reflect the broader gambliing demographic's actions. The claim of a 'true gambler' being neutral and objective is debatable. Although the notion of a fully logical, analytical player is appealing, gambling is an emotional sport, often disrupting sound decision-making.

Yes, many punters back their beloved team, even when odds aren't in their favor. This underscores gambling's entangled web of emotions and rationality. Labeling a 'true gambler' as purely objective perhaps simplifies this complex matrix

But if we feel that we could feel guilty about making a decision, we should do nothing but just sit back and watch the game. There's still plenty of time to place a bet on another team, so there's no feeling of guilt. And it's better if we don't use emotions in placing bets because of that guilt. Maybe some will still place bets for the team as a form of support but some do not place bets so it will return to each person. Maybe skipping the match will make our hearts calm and not think about anything, especially guilt if we don't support the team.

I got my own team the im a die hard fan and i could never bet against them. Its just not in my blood even if i knew that my team was gonna lose the match or something i couldnt bet against them. This is just something that you cannot due if you are a die hard fan. In all my life so far i never betted against my own team and i never will . Its just not right to do

So if your favorite club is playing against a stronger club you decide not to place any bets?
Come on man, there are many other ways to get an advantage in that match even though you don't have to place a bet on the opposing club but you can bet on who will score the first goal or bet on guess the score.
Don't waste matches that you can predict even if your favorite club loses but you can still benefit from this match by not betting on the opposing club.

So for me yes,  I would pick a club that will win and not based on being a fan of the other and lose my bet.

It makes sense and very realistic.
In real life or social media, we may show openly and continuously that we support our favorite club, whoever the opponent is and whatever the conditions are. In fact, sometimes we don't even accept the ridicule of our favorite club, especially when we lose. As a die-hard fan of a club, I will always support you with words and prayers.

but if it was in the world of gambling, it would be very different. In gambling, our main goal is to make money, so I personally wouldn't associate my favorite club, it's just more realistic to see the various opportunities whoever might win, that's what I'll stick to. Because, no one knows if I choose which club I will bet on, right? Hehehe

[LUCKMCFLY]

If you are a really die-hard fan (no matter how much you are into them), then I think it is not best to bet on the opposite team, but as a gambler, favoritism is not included unless you want to lose because you bet to win for that money, and if the odds or if the other team is stronger than your favorite team, then there is no choice but to bet on the stronger one because we know that our chances to win are huge. I am not a fan of football, but I do really like basketball, and when I don't bet,  that is when I become a die-hard fan, but if I do bet, I do choose the team that has higher chances.

Naturally, if you are an avid fan of one club, it doesn't make sense to bet against your own favorite team, especially if you are a fanatical fan, of course you will always defend the club, whether in a match that you lose or win, but indeed If in gambling we find a high probability of winning against our favorite team, of course that is a wise thing, because the orientation is the profit generated, I think it is even more necessary to choose a club that has a higher chance of winning than forcing a bet on the team we like but the probability of winning is very small.
I also often do that.

This thread reminds me of a piece of news that was broadcast in Colombia, some fans who always support their favorite team and they say that even if they lose they will always find support, I am surprised because that type of fanaticism is in the family, it is said, father , mother and children, they share the same love for their favorite team and that is something that I do not know if it is completely right, because they usually feel many mixed emotions when their team loses, and they do not see mistakes, one as a fan must know when our favorite team plays badly and the fact that they play badly should not be supported, because then where is the emotion? where the true meaning of soccer is, mediocrity in soccer can never be supported, the same fans should punish their team by letting them know, that has happened in my country, they casitagan the team by barring the other team and it seems incredible but they react and they play better.

Yes, if we draw it into the realm of gambling, then we will think realistically here, even though the club that will compete and will be the opponent for the club that we are betting on is our favorite club or our favorite club.
Precisely this is our chance to be able to increase our chances of winning the bet, because we will definitely know the strengths of our favorite club better and of course with everything we see which club has more potential to win the match. For me the best bet is our favorite club, whether it will be the club we will bet on or vice versa.

The orientation in my opinion is different sir, if only limited to fans who favored his team to form an emotional in personality is a natural thing, because it is a favorite team, and may be said that they are fanatical fans, it makes you someone who is not Caring about the defeat even though they understand the mistakes made by their favorite team, but rarely to make them stop supporting. I saw that when Dortmund fans learned that Dortmund was not the winner of the Bundesliga, but they were loyal to his team, and instead they felt proud even though the team he supported lost.
But it is different in the case of gambling, where the orientation is the advantage of the average person who bet, even though he has a favorite team, if his favorite team has a small probability, the option to choose is the opposing team of the favorite team.

The thing is that, sports bets are not the same as other gambling games where players play for fun,  but in sports bets,  it's all about winning so is not for being a fan but for winning in the bets,  and if the team playing against your team is stronger and likely to win the match then the club will get my winning ticket because it far better to win the bet by selecting the other team instead losing it because you want to show solidarity to your team.

For me the best bet is our favorite club, whether it will be the club we will bet on or vice versa.

This might be an indication of its own advantages in soccer betting, if the team that will take place one of them is a favorite team, it provides an easier analysis, we understand the weaknesses and strengths that exist in our favorite team and with that we only need to bend it and see the probability.

This is just something that you cannot due if you are a die hard fan. In all my life so far i never betted against my own team and i never will . Its just not right to do

Information and acknowledged the fact that one's team is not strong enough to win an opponent is pure analysis and statistics. I'm a die-hard fan of my team, and I've never once placed a loss on them; instead, I'm always looking for enormous profits in the system. If I am convinced that my team will lose or has no chance of beating their opponent, I just skip that game since losing is not an option that we should consider. Betting against your favorite team is not the correct thing to do; it's more like being glad about their misfortunes. Betting against my club is never an option for me; I gamble, but it's impossible for me to support the opposing team.

[goldkingcoiner]

I do not see anything wrong against betting against your club. Why would there be? If a fan is so devoted to the point where he thinks that idolizing a certain team makes him become part of a superior group of people. Basically nationalism but with loyalty to a team instead of a nation. Those kind of fanatics go too far and can cause real harm. No matter how much you love your team, unconditional devotion is plain stupidity. If there is a 100% certainty that your team is not going to do so well in the game, then you should bet on the team which you think will win.

Bet smart, not devoted.

Sorry to say but you're not a gambler. As a gambler your concern should focus on making profits and not allow your emotions to mix with your gambling. What if your team is the only game available to bet on that day? You won't bet at all? You need to be serious with your gambling life I must say. I see absolutely nothing wrong betting against your team if odds is against them. As painful as it will be, my pocket comes first. No love better than self love after all.
