Your response in placing live bets with a friend at a live sporting matches

[fullhdpixel]

I haven't been in the exact scenario, but I've had similar experiences with friends while watching games, and I've witnessed similar situations unfold. It's completely normal for emotions to run high, especially when money is involved. Sometimes, things just don't go the way we hope. If I were in that situation, I would remember that it's just a friendly bet, and whoever wins, sportsmanship should be present. Our main goal is to enjoy the game and each other’s company, not just to see who wins the bet. After all, it's just a game, and I won't let the outcome define our friendship.

Money is involved in gambling but if you will only bet small, your emotions will also remain stable. Not just sometimes but it was most of the times where our expectations won't be met, especially in gambling because the house has more advantage over the players.

It's important to think properly if what will be the outcome of our actions. We wouldn't want to hurt the feeling of other people just because of it and what's funny is that we can still regret it later on but it might be too late already. If the players on the matches that we are betting can be able to show a sportsmanship, then why can't us? But they are professionals, that is why.

Sports live bets are full of sentiments, grudges and unnecessary arguements because there are always persons you could Chanel your grievances towards.
I as a Nigerian went on a bet with a South African friend on today's match for the Semifinal of the African Cup of Nations league, my prediction was that Nigeria was going to win and my friend predicted that South Africa would win and we had our stakes of $10 each deposited on a reliable and a trustee so that there isn't going to be bridges of bets.

Buttressing this whole thing, we individually feels cheated at every blown panelized whistles and of course there is are felling amongst us that any goals scored against our oppositions is not Worth it so there is always room to point at either the referees or the coaches for being biased just because of the game ongoing is not playing towards the favours of our desired teams.
This is to an extend, there was no more funs about the game due to the point of personal interests to make sure our supported team wins the match.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?

This is so common among me and my friends. We bet on live games especially when our different teams are up against each other. Recently, I placed a bet with a friend during the recent game between Arsenal vs Liverpool game. Initially, Arsenal was leading by a goal but when Liverpool levelled the goal, I told a friend that Arsenal would still win the game but he said no that the game would either end in a deadlock or Liverpool would win the game because he is a diehard Liverpool fan. So, I told him lets place a bet.

We placed a bet of $50 each. After the bet, we started feeling so emotional because we had something at stake. We lamented on every decisions made by the referee that weren't in our favour. Fortunately, I won the bet and he gave a bad review about the match that the referee was so biased and that was why Arsenal won. The thing is none of us hold grudges for long we have always moved on. Sometimes, we still use the money to give each other treats.

I would never bet with a friend who would have grudges against me or arguments and stuff, it's only fun if you have a good understanding and you guys enjoy the game no matter what the results would be. There shouldn't be sadness or exchange of harsh words between you guys while the match is live, just sit together, have some snacks and drinks, watch the game together while enjoying every moment, and make fun of each other whenever something happens in the game regardless of which team has scored and stuff.

At the end of the day, it should be a fun activity and not something that should create a gap in the friendship after the game is over, because the game wouldn't last forever, but the relationship you guys have with each other is supposed to stay and it should stay as strong as it has always been.

I think of it this way, betting between friends should be something that is fun and makes the game more electrifying. There is no need to fight or argue seriously, just jokes as you well mention.

A fool's game, especially when emotions are strong. My friend, you've fallen into the traditional trap. Not Nigeria or South Africa. Money and gambling thrills are involved. You're on an emotional rollercoaster with your wallet open, not watching a game

Your feelings? Control them or they'll control you. Not the referee, coach, or players. It's about your rationality in stressful situations. It's $10, not your life savings. But principle? It's worth more than betting. If you can't tolerate the heat, avoid the betting kitchen. Watch the game, not the money. Buddy, that's personal finance 101

One of the most common emotion or feeling that you could really be able to get and experienced when you are dealing up with sports betting is on having those kind of reactions
specially into those ref calls and other correlated things on which you do see that it isnt really that something that you would be saying that it cant be justfiable and this is something
that giving out those kind of reaction on which could cause up some stress and impulsive approach but well this is part of the entertainment that you could get
on having those reactions with those calls.

It is really that part of sports that there would really be having those conditions on which it is really that totally opposite on what you are seeing.
Is there something that you can do? there's none but to sit and just accept those calls.
