Can you stake on a potential(obvious) loosing team just for love?

[EluguHcman]

It all depends on how the team is doing, right, if the opponent is better I wouldn't mind betting on my team's opponent, after all, we're talking about money lol. Betting against doesn't mean you stop liking or following your favorite club, in my opinion if you don't mix games with passion you can make good money betting.

Yeah! You speaks as a gambler who is after multiplication or your stakes. I have no problem with that as much gambling aim is of individuals.
So then, you must always be sentimental with your team if they have always played cutting off your bets which you cares no fun about in the game but to win and addy to your pocket.

Definitely in a scenero like this @author=criptoevangelista you will always be against your team because you should always be at the edges that could give you winnings according to your Predictions so as you can just make more cash and doesn't care who the hell teams are.

Here you would never be a team lover maybe you could consider only that team (s) that plays and gives you winnings. Lol.
You: No profits and no funs. 😂

Sometimes, I still do bet on Ferrari to have a podium for example, doesn't mean that they are not going to get it, they may actually have a car at the podium but it is also not guaranteed, so I can say that I am not betting on something I know it will fail, but I am betting on something with low odds at times.

Secondly, I do bet on my own team to win as well, and usually they don't these days, not that they lose all the time, but they are midtable so that means they win sometimes but not that commonly and the odds are not even that good. All in all I could say that it does happen, not that often but it does happen and it is not really something to worry about, we see these type of things, as long as you do not bet big, it's fine.

To be sincere I can't do no such thing with my money all in the name of the love of my football club. I can always give that moral support even when it's obvious they are going to lose the game but it won't go beyond moral to financial in my gambling for or against them.

Loving my favourite team so much would either mean I don't bet against them at all, instead of me betting in their favour in game's I know they are going to lose. The whole idea is that it's going to be a wasteful of funds and no one that has value for money will be comfortable wasting it knowingly.

Yes, we can support them even if we know that their chances are slim against a very good team. But to bet our money, just for the sake of it, and because it is our favorite ball club, is completely wrong for a avid fan of the sports.

Or maybe yet, just don't bet on the game. Just watch it and see how our team will do against their opponents. If they lose, then we go home and suckered it like a man and no regrets or anything. And just look for the next match that we might bet on them.

[Kakmakr]

It is one thing being a passionate fan and a supporter of your team and betting on the Sport. You cannot be too emotionally involved with the Sport, when you are betting on it, because it will cause you to lose bets.

You should rather use your knowledge about the Sport to your advantage and win more bets.

Enjoy the Sport, but bet with your knowledge and your brain power, not your heart.

I read some preceding comments from other members and I just smiled because I can perceive that some of them are just trying to be economical with the truth of the matter when they argue that they will at all times bet in favour of their team even when the team has no chance of winning the game, and this is very misleading to even think about it.

 Imagine me feeling sad for losing my money and also bearing a loss from my favourite loving team. Oh man, it's best I avoid the avoidable by just watching the game and exchanging the banters from opponent fans as a show of love for my team than including money to it.

Question: Can you have so much love for your team to behave like this guy that even when you know your love fans team would loose a match, would you still further stake on the match against your team?
Remember that we are catching funs here and whoever chasing after profits is at its own will.

Every human being has an emotional attachment. Of course an individual can be a strong supporter of a particular team. One who loves the team immensely but can't control his emotions when it comes to betting is his own failure. I support my favourite team but I know that even if my team is strong, it is inevitable that they will lose some matches. So I definitely don't increase my bet unless there will have no potential win. I'm not willing to raise my bet on that perspective. Loving the team doesn't mean losing my betting money for it. Betting is a part of entertainment and has nothing to do with love.

[davis196]

While in a football view centre last night, some of the football fans were arguing with the opposite football fans strongly defending their teams.

There one of the team guy said... Yes we loosed the match but that does not mean I will deny my team for that because the nature of football is that you would win somedays and you looses somedays too.
So he say... I love my team to the core that I will always stand by them and even if it is obvious that they were going to loose a match, I will still bet in support that they would win the match.

You aren't showing support to your team by placing a bet on a random bookie. Showing support means buying merch and going to the stadium  every time your favorite team has a match. Wasting money on a sports betting platform doesn't benefit your favorite team at all(unless the sports betting platform is a sponsor of that team and a part of your bets go for the sponsorship payment). I agree that being a football fan is more of an emotional thing, but I'm just too rational and wouldn't waste money on a losing bet.
By the way, I think that you don't understand the meaning of the word "loose". Please change "loose" and "loosing" with "lose" and "losing".

If someone loves their team or athlete, of course, things that sometimes don't make sense can be done instead of just betting on the team or athlete they like even though the chance of winning is small, even very small, and people who don't feel what that person feels will think they are stupid, but that's what happens when you like something, even when your favorite club or athlete only gets very small odds, maybe below @ 1.10, you will still choose it even though the risk of losing is much greater than the profit you will get, but choosing another team or athlete feels like betraying, and other things that fans can do that seem stupid and that becomes normal for them.

[dothebeats]

This is something I wouldn't do. My support for a team is very evident, but I will not let it get the best of me when it comes to rationality and financial decisions. I know hardcore team supporters who can blow thousands on their team even though they know that they will just be beat. They believe so much in make-believe scenarios that their team will somehow get together and achieve the win even though stats and analyses show that the odds are heavily stacked against said team. That support is commendable, but I would never do that.

I will, however, buy merchandise from my team if there is any, but you can't expect me to put in some money for bets if they're against a team that will defeat them.

[Webetcoins]

I don't think that I would do the same if I know or it is obvious that my favorite team would lose the match.
There are other ways to show support, and I don't think betting even a small amount or any amount would change the outcome of their match.

Another way of showing a support is to buy their merchandise if they are selling something. Indeed this is better because we can still see the merch for a quite a long time but in gambling, we can lose the money easily, once the team that we bet on loses as well.

The only moment that our bets might change their game from bad to good is when they are also aware that many people are rooting at their backs. Other than placing a bet, we can also go to the stadium and cheer for them, and just like buying a merchandise, this one is also worth it because we can see our idols in real-time. The experience will be unforgettable even if money is already spent.

[Jawhead999]

If they happy by betting their favorite teams, there's nothing wrong with that.

But for me, I will not feel happy with that because I already expect my favorite team will lose, it means I just like giveaway my money for free. I also not a fanatic fan, not like the other people who always stand with their teams regardless what the situation and how bad they did to the others, they will think their teams are correct.

[klidex]

If it's to support, maybe I will support my favorite club without betting if my favorite club has the potential to lose because of what?? betting involves money and it is very risky for me. Providing support doesn't mean you have to bet, we come and watch it live and just give slogans, it's like support for them and it definitely increases the club's self-confidence because we support it directly, even if we know that our favorite club has the potential to lose and still betting on them will make them feel stressed and have to win because they are worried that if their fans lose their bets, many will definitely be disappointed, but if they don't bet with money, even if they are disappointed, the disappointment will disappear instantly, but if the bet is lost, we also experience losses.

Indeed, betting can be used as a means of having fun, but if you know your bet will definitely lose, you will definitely feel disappointed, right? everyone who bets definitely wants to win even if the nominal amount is small and no one who bets wants to lose if something happens, that's really funny

Yeah, if showing support and love for your favorite team is your goal, support them financially or on the pitch with chants, banners, etc. I don't know how betting on your team is equal to supporting them, even if you win the money goes to you. Unless your club made some deals with the casino, but wouldn't that be almost impossible to know? Who knows, it might affect their performance too if the players or the coach also have some hidden deals to make matches more interesting. Even on a club with casino as their sponsor, I doubt betting on that specific platform on your club's performance will improve your club's financial situation more than when you buy merch from the official store.

I think the situation mentioned by OP is an exaggeration to show that the fans love their club. I doubt any real fan will use that argument to show their love for the club though. Just like how some fans say they will take a bullet for a manager or something along those lines.

I would be like that too, I don't want to risk my money just because it is my favorite team. If I know that the match will not go smoothly, then instead I will bet on the opposing team even though people say that I am not loyal or support my favorite team. Because this is not about morality or loyalty, but it is money, and I don't want to lose money just because I support a team that will lose. It is much better for me to provide direct support to my team, rather than having to bet on them and then lose.

[acroman08]

I love my team to the core that I will always stand by them and even if it is obvious that they were going to loose a match, I will still bet in support that they would win the match.

good for you, but I think it is a very bad mindset to have. if you know that the team that you love are gonna lose you don't have to bet on them, not betting on the team you love doesn't mean that you don't support them, it just means that you acknowledge the fact that they have a big chance of losing the match. you do not have to lose your money just because you want to support the team that you like, this is one of those things that you need to be logical.

[Jody.Drummer]

Well that's the point, if you already know that the team you are favoring will lose then why should you bet? After all money is something that is always needed by everyone and if you still choose to bet then that means you don't have good financial management in life, on the other hand I understand that however everyone has their own choices and maybe they will say that what they are betting is their own money, I understand that but maybe we are just suggesting that gambling is nothing more than entertainment, therefore if you already know the high probability that your favorite team will lose at the end of the match then it is clearly better to save your money not to bet and just watch the game.

Also yes I agree with you here that even though we don't bet but that doesn't mean we don't support our favorite team, which means not everything should always involve money, and vice versa if indeed the situation is reversed in the sense that you think and know a little information that your favorite team has a greater chance of winning the match then obviously no problem if you want to bet your money, the point is wise management and mindset must be applied.

[Crypt0Gore]

It doesn't make a sense to still place a bet on your club when you know that the other club will defeat yours, what type of stupid love for your club is that? It makes no single sense.

If you feel like it's a betray to your club then don't place bet at all, consider such a match as a pass, look for another match to place a bet on, it's normal to feel like you are a betrayer placing bet that another team will beat yours, just don't bet then, just enjoy the match.

I have never been in such situation before because I don't feel like I am betraying my club for placing bet that other team will win them, it's a game after all, enjoying the game is a different thing from placing a bet on the game, what do you want? That's left for you to find out.

[livingfree]

IMO this is common in football and basketball. Despite that there's a huge handicap for the teams that we like, we still bet it.

And that is because we don't just love them but also the odds that are given to those matches are favorable to us if ever we win together with the team that we're supporting.

This is what actually gambling is, you bet with your team and as a fan, they have you on their back and it doesn't matter what might be the result and ending of it as long as you've shown how you love them.

Then, it's a plus if you've won with some good odds from it.

Correct, Supporting is different to gambling for your tea, because you will not gonna give an impact to support your team. You can use your data about your team to bet with them or against them since you knew them very well.

It’s cery absurd to waste money for a bet that you dedicate to support them because you can just use the money to purchase team merchandise rather than giving it to the casino. The only time I bet on my favorite team despite being underdog is when I pick am AH pick with them when the enemy team is not that strong for them to have a huge gap on score.
