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

[EluguHcman]

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?

[Oshosondy]

From your explanation, it was not a live bet you had with your friend, it was just a bet. Live bet should mean live matches or in-play. I will call it that because you can not bet on a match that are no more live because it has been played and the outcomes has been known.

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

People that took draw won. It match was drawn and Nigeria won during penalty shootout. It would be a disappointment for those that either chose Nigeria or South Africa to win. But if you use little amount of money to bet it, it was still fun.

I don't know what the correct term is to describe betting with our own friends, not in a casino because both can be called live sports betting.

Of course I have experienced it, usually I bet with my close friends when our favorite team is playing and we do it just for fun, even though there are often arguments about referees, fouls, injury time, and so on, but I never get carried away by emotions, because we bet just for fun. And for various reasons I enjoy and have more fun betting with my own friends than betting in a casino

The name of such gambling is not live betting, but it could fall under or be called social gambling because you need no casino to serve as a third party or any bookmaker in order for the betting to take place.
 
All you did was challenge each other with which team you thought was going to win, and there was a price for whoever's prediction was correct, which is the same thing as social gambling.
 
It's important to note that social gambling is one of the forms of gambling that promotes violence a lot. If you get involved with someone who is not good at anger control, the argument can escalate to a point where he can no longer hold it, which could result in a physical fight, so I will advise you to avoid such gambling either in a public place or in private for your own safety.

I do not think that the scenario you stated is a live bet but rather just plain betting since a live bet is like putting a bet while the game is happening not before the game is played just like what Oshondy stated.

Honestly being a fan of a playing team, it is hard to contain one's emotions especially if we have a bet that our favorite team will win.  I know it is really disappointing if the calls of the ref and the game performance of the team don't go what we expected.  It is normal to be emotional during the heights of the game and it even lingers even after.  I managed my emotion by simply making sure that whatever the result of the game was, I did not let it affect my next activities.

I try to avoid placing a bet with a close friend in this way, it doesn’t matter if your a patriotic citizen or a fan to a team, I don’t just like the idea of having to bet between myself and my friend. It often don’t seem so comforting should I happen to win and have to take my friends money (which is now mine by virtue of having won the bet) for myself. In most case, I always tend to give it right back, at least my point of prediction have been proven but,

There isn’t anything strange about this while gambling or watching a game. This is the very reason why, you don’t have two contrasting fans positioned together in the stadium. In fact, you’ve got a steward at every close proximity of contrasting fans because, there would always be grievances and when the other fan is happy, you are sad and that could result in conflict.
Don’t be surprised should your friend hold a grudge over this but then, it was a bet and I hope you guys are really matured about it.

I have exclusively only had the exact opposite of this happen to me. When a match with teams I like happens and I have a stake, o feel more satisfaction watching the match if I have placed a small stakes... But there's an important catch, I only place small stakes..especially when gambling with friends, you can't expect them to have the same money as you.

On that note, I don't know what 10$ is for Nigeria but it probably is a lot of Naira. So if losing that amount makes you feel sad, always best to not place bets at all and just watch the match for fun.

Simply, just accept the result. If by any means you think some cheating happened, then stay away from betting on that league anymore.

Just move forward and later on, you will know how to deal with such kind of game and will have a better decision on what bet type should be picked.

More importantly, try to also consider using your own money without sharing stakes to your friends to avoid unnecessary arguments.

More like p2p (peer-to-peer). No third party. Just the two of you are betting against each other but in this case, there's no application, it was done physically with someone trusted holding the money for them.

Why? What happened to the game? Was it a draw?
Well, I've never been in that situation before because I mostly bet against a friend in sports either basketball, boxing, or MMA which draw games are very rare to happen.
Regarding the officials, referees are always biased and that cannot be controlled, there's always a preferred team for them, and then if there are two referees, the other one balances it. It cannot be stopped because they are also humans who may be fans of one team. But they still must act like professionals when they are on the field so if ever they make an obvious call, I bet they will be fined or disciplined for doing that considering this is a professional league.

The live sportsbet was not the recommended one,because the feedback from your friends will make you confused on the game.So the gamblers will make the stake of funds on the different betting site.The betting of you and your friends on the different team,So any of you had make the money for sure.But the drawback is the person who loss the money.In deep the winner who get the money of the loser in that game.If you know who is the best team,then both bet on the same team is better option.Because either both or both loss,but this also the risky option of both on the same side.

I think I've done this a couple of times before, not in person but over in discord. We were watching it via Discords YouTube activity back then so we both got to watch the match at the same speed and time (YT sometimes has that weird delay that differs from pc to pc), and it was a wild ride. We were both screaming at every intense moment of the match and since it was a BO5, we had to be like that for a couple of hours lmao. Let's not even mention the bloody anger in our voices whenever YT ads started playing in the middle lol.

To answer, I didn't. It was with friends and even if it had a bet involved, we bet on our respective teams anyway, something we probably would've done regardless if we talked about it or not. Rather I just enjoyed the experience of watching the game together and the experience of frustration and talking about what could be, the best moments of the game and stuff like that after the game itself.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, I have not gambled like that before because I don't see it being necessary after staking on same game on the casino. Form your explanation, you place a bet of $10 on your country while your friend also placed a bet of  $10 on his country, which at the end, if you friend lost the bet you only would have earned the $10 which he staked. Just imagine if you have stake that $10 in a casino, do you think it's only $10 you would have won? If I stake on a game in a gambling site, even if the match is on and am watching it live at a viewing center, I don't bet with any body in that place.

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

I’d simply say it that if you can’t manage your emotions, you should be gambling. I don’t see why you’d be pissed or upset if you lost the prediction when you knew very well that it is a 50/50 probability. When you gamble, assume you’ve lost the money so when you actually lose it, it doesn’t surprise or hurt you. I’ve been in a similar case before and I didn’t care what behavior the other person had. I took my winnings as per the agreement and off I went.

I believe something like this only happened to me once when I was matching the semi final match of the Football World Cup of 2014. It was during the infamous matches between Brazil and Germany, which out in complete humiliation the host team. I was in favor from the beginning of a German Victory and a female friend of mine was rather fond of the Brazilian football selection, we made a little symbolic bet on our preferred teams snd decided to watch the match Live on TV.
Needless to say that because of the insane amounts of goals and the historical moment we were witnessing, she did not take any joy at all on seeing her favorite team of the World Cup being completely crushed.

Fortunately, it was not a big bet or something, because it could have negatively affected our friendship back then. In the end, that match and the day we met in my family home to watch it live will remain as a good memory.

Keeping my story aside, I indeed believe a bet which hss enough money staked on it could easily erode a friend and make almost imposible to enjoy a match, because of the bad feelings one could have when seeing ones preferred team being put in disadvantage by the referee.

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.

[piebeyb]

I'm sure everyone who likes football must have done this betting between teams between countries or clubs, but I don't have any friends out there, but betting with friends around my house since I was young used to bet on my favorite club and so did my friends, but Even then, it seemed like it was just an ordinary bet, it didn't require money and was just a treat to eat at school for one week, so coincidentally at that time I won, so I was treated to a meal at school for a week by the friend who bet with me.

Never experienced full emotions. Sometimes the team that we were leading in the past couldn't be forced to win against the team chosen by my friend because basically the gambling we did at that time wasn't too excessive, maybe because we were still immature so we weren't full of emotions, even though that was true. It's not a direct bet as friends say here because you don't use a third party platform site, but whatever it is, this bet is definitely often played by those who are still gamblers and often bet on football sports, whether league championships or between countries.

Please I do not know about you guys but for me this is simply live betting in his own terms. Who defines what live betting is and what it is not. This may be the OP's operational definition of live betting and that is okay with me. The bet were place after the match had begun which is also one of the features of a standard definition of live betting. They bet on the out come of the match - another very solid characteristics of live betting. Despite not having a platform, it was a simple arrangement with themselves where they had a third party hold the stake. If this is not live betting in their own definition and even similar to what the bookies give us, I wonder what then it is.

Several years ago, I was in that scenario when I often hung out with my old friends. It was the World Cup and my friend and I competed against each other by holding the country of our choice. Victories and defeats came and went between us so that we could say that we could break even.
But the emotions we experience are only during the match and will not continue after the match is over because we know it is pointless. Yes, we enjoyed the betting moment because we watched the match together so we knew what score each country got. And it was truly a moment I will never forget.

[Peanutswar]

Most of the time we watched with my friends with the sports betting because of course we want to compete with each other and at the same time enjoy the game, getting excited and disappointed to the game its part of it at the end both of you, you know that this gets entertained you both but of course make sure you are still in a good shape if someone losses the game or bet because you play gambling there's no game that's no winner.

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

I often make bets like that, betting with close friends and watching the match together, but I'm not sure if it's a live bet because I do it just to have fun with my close friends.
every weekend I often bet on soccer bets with my friends but I never feel emotions, I just always joke around making fun of each other supporting teams and usually when I win or my friend wins we never use the money personally but we use it to buy food or buy drinks and continue betting on the next match.

for me, this is a normal betting scenario to have fun with our friends and there should be no need to feel disappointed or emotional if the team we support loses because it's only $10 and after all our goal of betting is for fun, not to make money, so get rid of your emotions and your feelings of disappointment and just think you're unlucky.
