Can you stake it all put of over confidence in your club

[Btcdeybodi]

A lot of gamblers more especially the football lovers have so much passion for the team they support that is why no matter the team they have as opponents, such gambler can never bet against his team though I see it as just passion for the club they support so being too confident about your club is still accompanied with luck because until the final whistle a team cannot be declared winner yet, so it's not a bad thing to stand strong with the team you support to the extent of betting on their behalf so it's normal but what is always advised is responsible gambling so that if it turns the other way round it will not affect your psychological well-being as a result from the shock of loss.

Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?

It happened sometimes. A situation where I get too excited or over confident and place a bet because I have favorite team playing or player in the match. But what I've come to notice is that most times it just doesn't play out well. I fell most times that it's better to calculate the upper hand than just betting on whom you like the most or favorite as some will say. I've lost some couple of bet due to this and I learnt not to always play favorite out of confidence because it's still gamble and gamble is about luck.
When your luck runs out, your game cuts but if you have enough luck, you get to win. Still your friend was so lucky. Because I too had placed a bet on that match and lost. It nice to hear that someone got to play for his favorite team and got lucky.

... shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?

There's nothing wrong with that as long as he is comfortable with the outcome and his loss did an analysis and he is not betting out of blind loyalty.
In my case I would not bet a huge amount of money out of pure loyalty, I prefer to lose making an effort on my analysis at least I put an effort and that effort will convert to experience in analysis rather than blind loyalty, there should be a line dividing loyalty and betting the right way.

It's definitely not a good idea to take such risk on your team not minding how confident you are in their ability you still have to be cautious and apply caution because if you don't, you are definitely going to loose more than you can afford to loose. Just like the case of drake recently, although he's very wealthy and would recover I'm days but then it was actually such a huge amount to just stake on a team just like that even if you happen to be too confident, make sure to still apply caution a d gamble responsibly so you don't end up in regrets.

Gambling responsibly is very important and that includes not keeping any bias for your team or another trying to exercise too much confidence because just at the verg of victory you could still loose and then you may be crying because you had expected another out come and not that which you got.

You are wrong. Gambling responsibly does not mean you should not gamble on your team to win. Gambling responsibly is about using the money that you can afford to lose to gamble. If you are gambling and you see a odd that you think can not be won and you gamble with it with just small amount of money and you are thinking that you will lose it but not affecting your emotion, financial life and other things, you are gambling responsibly. If you can not control yourself, gambling with huge amount and also gambling taking your time than necessary is when you do not gamble responsibly.

Betting based up on blind loyalty then even if this bet would really be turning out to be a loss then this one would really be easily that be moving on because they would really be having in mind that they are betting for showing up on the support for the team and not for the money on which we cant be able to tell whether this one would really be true or not, because usually these kind of excuses are really just that covering up their extreme disappointment when it comes to that condition on which you would really be having those reasons on which you would really be telling into yourself if you are ready on what are the things that you would really be able to encounter.

When it comes betting on your club on which you've been supporting then its up to your choice because each one of us would really be having that own perspective
when it comes to the teams that we are betting into. Some for pure support and some do really just stick into whose the favorite.

Have anyone ever had confidence in any match that he was willing to be huge amounts to back up the confidence in a match that features his club. A friend of mine recently shocked me with how much passion and confidence he had in his club, man u vs liverpool  that happened on Sunday I guess was a very hard match cause Liverpool was already stomping 0:2 to man United but my friend was telling that man United won't lose the match, so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?

Foolish move in most cases but in the case of your friend is one of the rare cases with that saying that goes fortune favors the bold.By the way the game was never 0-2,was 1-2 for a long time and Manchester United only equalized near the end of the game so that was truly a fortune favors the bold thing.

In most other cases though people lose a lot of money and that damage their life rather than improving it like in the case of your friend.So it is a foolish move in 99% of the cases and I have never done that.

[Reid]

I would only do it if it's a sure win. That kind of bet by your friend is not 90 percent of a win but he was lucky it went his way. It's foolish and that's because he is using his emotion to gamble. But it turned out fine for him and who knows, he might repeat it and make a mistake next time.
Never gamble with your emotion. That's one of the rules of gambling because most of the time it goes the other way.
He is a big fan so he would do that, I am a fan of a team too but will not be fool enough to put a huge sum of money just for it. I'd rather watch the game and cheer for them than be stressed while watching the game because a lot of money is in the line.

Exactly, there's nothing wrong with staking a huge amount in betting as long as you are sure or you have confidence in your decision or betting, because staking a very huge amount of money in one bet or stake is unavoidable and it is sometimes unavoidable, but if you will let your loyalty take over then expect that you might stumble a big loss, that's why I don't believe in loyalty bet, wherein you will bet in your favourite team even you know that they have a least chances of winning against their opponent, I have a team that I fandom in NBA, but I don't always bet on them especially if it is clear that they are disadvantage against the other team, yes money is money, so why would I bet if I know I will lose right? So yeah, I'm willing to bet a huge amount as long as I know that the team I will stake on has a greater chance of winning.

.... so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?

A foolish bet is when you bet without doing an analysis and the money you're using comes from your allowance or savings, whether it is a small amount or a big amount of money as long as you are comfortable with the outcome, it is ok to trust your favorite club and hope that they win in every game but it's not right in my opinion to bet money if your favorite has no chance to beat the other team.
It's ok if the chance is 50/50 with prayer and luck your team can win the game and multiply your earnings, I consider it throwing money if your favorite team has a slim chance to win, we should be practical when betting you're an average income earner, you can only do so if you're like Drake or Bruno Mars it's ok to guys like them to throw money because they have a way to recover money that they've loss.

Gambling is like that and experienced gamblers understand it that way so they can take risk that you don't believe at any time and that could appear foolish in the eyes of non gamblers or doesn't gamblers that can't take such risk. Usually to gamble that way in a losing position, the gambler sees the money he is about to stake as a sacrifice that he has made.

Therefore it takes courage to gamble and to know that you already have slim chance to win is something not every gambler can do. So regards to your friend, I don't think it is just about his team Manchester united but either because he has studied the game and sees that the losing team is making good efforts at the game but only has not gotten there, so he had to bet on it. And as we know in football, they say it is not over until the final whistle from the referee is blown. He carried the day because he bet as sacrificing his money and that is the spirit some use to win unexpected bets.

Your friend is a loyal fan of Manchester United and he proved it by supporting the club even when it seems they will lose the game. For me, gambling is not an avenue show my loyalty or support to my club because money is involved. My prediction will be based on my analysis and not loyalty. If I suspect that my club will not perform well in a game I will not stake on them. Your friend was just fortunate to win the game because everyone had already concluded that Liverpool would win the game.

Tell him to gamble responsibly.

It wasn't over confidence it was reckless.

His action is not recklessness but he just had fun by taking a risk that is within his capacity. There are times when your analysis will fail because gambling is unpredictable. The guy simply took a risk and don't also forget that he won the game. OP didn't also tell us that he gambled with what he cannot afford to lose which means he is not an irresponsible gambler.

That particular game between Manchester United and Liverpool result was so unpredictable, if you're friend had placed a bet in favour of Manchester United to win that game then he must be a genius to come to that conclusion. When people become too emotionally attached to the club they are fanning, they do things without emotional intelligence and that they say is the beauty of the game. For me that was not too much of a wise decision your friend took, but however this is gambling, the higher the risk the higher the reward, and so far he has benefited from the risk he took.

[robelneo]

It depends if you're a risk-taker and it doesn't bother you betting a huge amount of money out of fun and in support of your favorite team, but if you're gambling based on your allocation, it's not a good idea, it's blind loyalty and blind loyalty is not good if you're not a VIP or do not have enough money to throw away.

It's fun betting out of loyalty and challenging yourself if your favorite club can do an upset, you should be ready for the outcome if that's your choice.

[danherbias07]

It will only be a foolish move if he cannot afford what he is about to lose. I guess your friend also knows what he is doing and he ain't just a fan. He won! Just be happy about it and don't question him.
There are gamblers who just like to be praised whenever they win, maybe that's all he needs for now.
Look, there are also gamblers who bet higher than those amounts, will we also call them foolish? He took the risk, I think that's a courageous thing to do and he probably has more money because he is confident with his bet.

In sports, it's okay to do that rather than wasting the same amount in casino games where your chances to win are very low. Even if you divide that number by 1000 and play casino games that long, you won't get as much as double your capital in just a short span of time, or worse you will never. It's not easy. And, you cannot bet just once going for all in because the chances to hit a low multiplier or a zero is damn high.

I'm a Liverpool fan, and it was very painful for me to see this result in the end:



However, your post has truly brought joy to my heart. Seeing firsthand how someone has benefited greatly from it has been immensely uplifting.

Was it a foolish move? Maybe. But it's especially satisfying when we win due our foolish moves, innit?

We won't agree to see anything wrong about his action and that's because the outcome was a favourable one, he won and that's what every gambler what to hear. Justifying a stupid action because the results out of luck turned out to be fine is not proper. We should also look at the other side of it, how probably he lost it on staking that amount the story here would have been a different one but instead a lot of persons are praising him for taking an uncalculated risk

Both you and your friend made a wrong move in this situation. If anything negative had happened, you are responsible for it because you push him to prove his confidence on his team and he prove his confidence in the wrong way. Responsible gambling is everyone's responsibility and if your close relatives or friends engage in reckless gambling, you can do all you can to help them but you did the opposite here. The amount is not too much to lose even if he lost the bet but the manner in which he gamble with the 5k is very inappropriate. There is nothing you can tell me to convince me, that's obviously a blind risk with no calculation and would be definitely regreted if he lost the bet. There's no fun in proving someone wrong in gambling.

Your friend was pretty lucky to have won, if not he took a big risk. Although I feel he was just trying to prove to you how much he love Manchester United his club. I guest he didn't mind losing the money for love of his club. but if it where to be me I would not try such a thing, what if Liverpool continues beating them maybe 0.4, in the end he would have lost it all and still become ashamed of his club for disgracing him, while he was the one that took the betting to another level.

Actually there are people who love staking on a game like that, however your friend had already seen the determination of Manchester United and chances of wining that's why he was that confidence to bet on them and also I don't think betting on them was because of the passion he has for Manchester United but was because of the possibility he saw on that match that was actually what propelled him to stake the bet, also perhaps the money was not much of a good use to him that's why he decided to take the bet but I don't think passion was his motivator because is very difficult for someone to use there hard earned money to stake on a club they knows that will lose, however in terms of having confident on a particular match sometimes could work out because irrespective of how difficult it is to be certain about a particular club but there are some matches that we can say wining is certain so most people use it as an opportunity to stake all they have in other to have a good return.
