Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet?

[Mahanton]

Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

That all depends how you define "fun" I guess. Some people would watch horror movies or go to roller-coaster rides, get scared (which is a negative emotion) but still consider it fun.
Placing a wager on a game is a bit similar. It provides way more excitement than watching a game without having any stake in it.
If you value nice, relaxing time over high emotions and excitement, then watch without betting.
I would always advise against betting too much. It's a bad habit and will cause too much stress. You don't have to bet a lot to have a feeling of having a skin in the game.

Watching while having a bet is giving you more excitement and a little bit of nervous because of the money that you've risk on that game that's why whenever you watch betting game, It will give you a roller coaster emotion that you can't explain if you are supposed to be happy, sad, nervous etc. I agree to you, placing too much bet money that you can't afford to loose will give you a problem and stress, so do not pressure yourself to placed larger bet just because other people doing it, You have to follow your own instincts as well.

Yes, this is what i do prefer but its not bad to watch up games that you do know even if you dont have bet.Money isnt everything and you could be still be able to enjoy up the game watching it just because the team
you are rooting to win is someone whose you are fan with. Just like on what im doing with esports betting in Dota2 on which there are really moments or times that i wont be making out such bet just because
im busy or wasnt really on the feels on making up such bet because there's no reason for me to do so specially if the match is almost break even or really that match. This is the only time i do consider
on skipping out bets if ever i do face up such situation but it doesnt mean that i cant have some fun on watching that particular match.

It is really just that there are people who wont really be that satisfied on the time that they wouldnt really be placing up some money into their bets and this is why
they do prefer on putting up some funds or money into those teams and thats surely adds up on the thrill and this is something that makes someone
really that addicted.

I find it stressful as well to watch a game or an event that I have bet on. I have mostly stopped betting on sports because it was not an enjoyable experience to be constantly anxious. I only bet significant amounts on a few big events each year and that’s it. Everything else is just small wagers just for fun between friends or in other casino games where the outcome is instant and I don’t have to sit around a few hours stressing out.

Each person has their own way of making things more enjoyable, some like to gamble while others prefer to relax and enjoy the game without gambling, it's up to each of them.
I myself prefer to watch matches while betting, for me it gives a different and thrilling atmosphere when I do it, especially if the team is a team that we like. Not only can we be happy to see them win, we are also happy because we won the bet, but the risk is also the same, we will feel disappointment twice in one time. I am also not arbitrary in determining which match I should bet on, if the risk is 50/50 I usually avoid betting on that match.
For others, maybe they will enjoy the match more without any burden, I mean by not putting our money in the match, then we will be more relaxed in watching the match. And again it's all based on what we like, and it's legitimate to do. It's just that maybe my message here is not to force something that we don't like, for example we don't like betting we force ourselves to bet, that's not wise.

Watching while having a bet is giving you more excitement and a little bit of nervous because of the money that you've risk on that game that's why whenever you watch betting game, It will give you a roller coaster emotion that you can't explain if you are supposed to be happy, sad, nervous etc. I agree to you, placing too much bet money that you can't afford to loose will give you a problem and stress, so do not pressure yourself to placed larger bet just because other people doing it, You have to follow your own instincts as well.

the main reason I bet is when I have a game of interest, and place a bet on the game am watching I will be so excited, and also the same time I will have high hopes, if I notice the game is not going in my favor I will see if I can make cash-out the most painful thing will be that you cashed out and you latter won as predicted, you will defiantly be pained, that is gambling for you and that is why it is based on prediction. and the annoying thing about betting and watching is that you will be so frustrated that you will just want things to go your way, gambling is not like that it's pure luck even if you know that this club is good. and sometimes you might not even see yourself winning and that is when you will win.  and there should be a limit to the kind of money you use in placing a bet. wasting too much with this hard economy now is not wise.

[Zigabel]

I am sure many will agree that watching with a bet is more fun but for me personally when I am watching my favorite team playing I love watching without a bet.That for the simple reason that when the bet goes wrong we tend to get mad and we lose the real enjoyment of watching our team playing.Yesterday I was watching a team I love to watch without betting as they did not win and I would be mad double the amount,one for not winning and one for not winning the bet.

Watching with bet has got a different kind of fel but it's not for the faint hearted because in such situations you have got double adrenaline rush all over you which actually includes that for your favourable team and for your bet which you have place before or during the match, but these things is based on your preference whatever it is your preference is to watching the match should be employed so I wouldn't want to outrightly say one is better than the other, they are both applicable based on the preference you have on either of them.

I love gambling while watching because I'm usually extreme with my fun than so I would really want to ha e a dual feel and so would place a bet on amy favorite team a d aswell also watch tham play.

very well said, so it's better not to expect to win when we gamble because sometimes, when we don't think or worry too much about winning, that's when we get luckier. I'm not sure if others have experienced the same or is it just me? but that always happens so when I place a bet, I don't think about anything, I just let luck move for me.

[Twentyonepaylots]

For me, it is more fun to watch with a bet because it gives you a thrill and makes you feel like you are one with the team that you have a bet on. And that's where "gambling is just for fun" comes in. Imagine just watching games without betting; it feels like you are empty because you are just a spectator, waiting for the results. But if you gamble while watching, you are supporting the team that you bet on with a lot of heart and dedication. So for me, it is better to watch with a bet. Also, it is the reason my friend is gambling; he wants the thrill because it is kind of boring just to watch games.

But, of course, be a responsible gambler; don't bet a lot of money just because you want to feel the game. Bet the amount that you are okay to risk, so if the team wins, then okay, you win too. If the team didn't win, then it is fine since it was just a small amount of money. With that, you won't get carried away and get depressed when the team loses.

[danherbias07]

Good. We are in the same boat.
I find it more thrilling too when my money is in the line. So, that should actually be the essence of gambling. Better, we are trying to entertain ourselves the right way.
Battling with a stranger must not be fun at all.
So we add a thrill to the formula. We don't just watch games anymore, we also like to be part of them and by betting for our preferred team I think we are successfully doing it right.

When I was a kid, I didn't really care about betting. Most of the time, the betting comes from person to person, and since there are many of us watching the game, especially in the Finals we bet against each other or in groups. Nowadays, it's different, a simple . I am not even inviting my friends to come over and play or watch a sport. A simple video call will do but that's all because of the damn pandemic. Those people who work from home are bound to see the gambling ads and I think that's where I started. When I realized my preferred sport was being offered in one of my favorite gambling sites here, I took a bet and tested my luck.

Watching others gamble might be fun, but not much. But you will have more fun if you gamble and bet yourself so it is always better to bet yourself if you can afford to lose that bet. Because gambling is a very risky thing, if you gamble there, you have to accept losses  So it is not bad to have fun by betting the amount as per your ability. Because it can give a lot of fun. so spending some money for entertainment is not bad

Every gambler has a different experience when it comes to live gambling. There is a lot of excitement among gamblers about where they are in that bet, whether they have a chance or what mistakes his team has made, etc. They don't even make any other decisions until that bet is over. And for those who bet but don't watch live, gambling is enjoyable, they may lose or win bets but they don't have much excitement because they don't understand the conditions of gambling.

There are some gamblers who especially love sports who definitely enjoy watching sports live. Here some people bet for the enjoyment of the game so that there is excitement but many can't take that excitement.

You are having this feeling because you are expecting too much ,each bet you delivered you are looking for the highest winning this is why each time you felt that way while the truth is you know that most of bets will lose if not all.

There are several people that I met in which having different strategy that they are closing their eyes before the results comes out so they will be surprised if win comes and just a little disappointed when lose.

There could be other ways, one of the biggest reason is probably he is gambling with an amount he can't afford to lose, something that we can't say we are just gambling for fun because if we lose we will consider it as a significant loss. If we are serious that's when we start risking bigger money, and we will only do that because we trust our skills to make us profitable, but unable to control our emotion or afraid to watch game we are betting, most likely that bankroll will not last as we might sooner or later panic and make stupid bets.

Yups as I am not also a believer of gambling for fun because I find that stupid pretending to be happy when you lose? or accepting losses just like that? nope that is not reality in gambling and I know real gamblers knows that long ago.risking is part of gambling and admitting that we are a loser today means we are a loser forever because there is luck that might favor us sometime.

I believe you've hit the nail on the head; gambling is very much appreciated when done within what you can afford and with the proper attitude. Unfortunately, there's nothing bad with experiencing fun through placing a bet, so long as you are able to afford losing the money and do so safely and responsibly. In reality, study have shown that gambling can be good for our psychological well-being if done in control.

I understand that. Sometimes it is frustrating watching the game where you have money on the line. Well, don't put too much money on it. That's my only way to make it more acceptable at the end of the game, win or lose.
There are times I would seek a higher multiplier by making a parlay. I will make sure that the teams I will add are winning teams or if it is in the same game multi, I will also make sure that the player props that I will be adding are players who are consistent with their statistics.
Bet low, win high. High risk but could be profitable if you get it right. Just today my player props parlay was broken thanks to one player. Well, he is having a rough night and that happens so there's no one to blame.

It's your choice if you will continue or not, I guess I can still find fun betting and watching because I still win sometimes and those can cover my losses in the past.

It's the best feeling when you are about to watch your favorite sports and you're also putting a bet on them whichever is they are against with. I'm doing this mostly in esports/sports and it's so fun to watch when I know that I have bet on the right time. But if things go south and they're not performing well then it's easy to accept defeat for me and all I have to do is bet better on the next matches or games that I am also going to watch. The attitude is like that, move on when done and don't be too bitter with all of your losses because whether you like it or not, all of us will have that.

There is a lot of excitement among gamblers about where they are in that bet, whether they have a chance or what mistakes his team has made, etc. They don't even make any other decisions until that bet is over.

There are some gamblers who especially love sports who definitely enjoy watching sports live. Here some people bet for the enjoyment of the game so that there is excitement but many can't take that excitement.

I think this generally has to do with individual preference or interest. The decision to watch or not watch the games you bet on solely depends on individual level of comfort and emotional control. It's actually fun to watch the game unfold in your presence and see whether you win or not but not everyone can withstand seeing their money fleeing away right in front of them. Your emotion will not even allow you to concentrate on the game to enjoy the fun and judge fairly. Personally I don't like watching games that I bet on because the pain of a loss is more intense when you watch the game than when you don't watch it.

It's just like watching your own team playing and watching another team playing. You feel relaxed and less tense when other teams are playing than when your team is playing because you don't care about the outcome of the game as far is not your team playing. Any team that win is fine by you but when your team is playing, you always want them to win. That's exactly how the feeling is when you are watching the game you bet on.

Yes it is much more fun when one is enjoying his favorite game while placing bets for that game. Even if you don't bet, you get pleasure, but when you do, it brings extra pleasure. now it will depend on everyone's personality and financial situation. Gambling is a lot of fun and besides, if luck is good, big wins from it are very profitable.  So betting for pleasure according to your ability to lose is not a problem.  However, you should not bet more than you can afford

I only do this on my favorite team when I play. so I bet and watched it. If you say it's fun, of course, it's fun when you bet and watch the team you support. As for other teams, I usually just bet and leave it. I looked at it the next day and checked the results of some of the bets I made.
Unfortunately, when we bet on a team that we like, we tend not to be objective in analyzing the odds. If you are a fan, you will bet on your favorite team.

We will get pleasure, satisfaction and feeling of pride when we watch and bet on team that we really like or make as favorite, especially if we win then all the feelings I mentioned will really be felt perfectly.
However, the most important thing is that we must be able to accept that if failure occurs or the final result does not match what we expected, because the favorite team is not always able to achieve victory.
As gamblers, sports fans, we must be aware that there are many unexpected events such as surprises, which occasionally appear and make many people feel disappointed, but everything must be accepted well.
If what is bet on wins and always wins then there will be no poor people and there will be no bookies because in betting or matches there are wins and losses and all this happens according to the ability of the competing teams.

Moreover, feeling disappointment too deeply will not be able to change anything and will only leave sadness which might make us do stupid things such as trying to get another win and betting carelessly.
