Beyond Wagering

[KTChampions]

In my case, I started analyzing all the games I watch even when I didn't place a bet, before I only cared about games in the big leagues, such as the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Portuguese League. but after a few months that I was involved I became interested in the Turkish league, the Dutch league, the Brazilian league and when I watch the games I analyze each player and the coaches' decisions, before I got involved in sports betting I didn't did that. I just limited myself to watching the games and I didn't watch many games and I also don't follow the games often. It's funny that I see that analyzing the games I'm going to watch gives me more pleasure than when I just watched the games
~

I would like to know how you have enough free time for this. After I became seriously interested in betting, I began to watch fewer games (at least completely, since spending 2 hours on one game is too wasteful), or to be more precise, I began to watch more games, but in text format and a lot in parallel mode. And I focus more not on sports indicators (although they need to be taken into account) but rather on statistics.

As a movie enjoyer, I'm interested to know what are your most recommended movie/s in this line of category

Here are my top three recommended casino videos which I watched recently and loved them.  A brief synopsis follows.

Rain Man - I counted three casino scenes. In the first one Charlie and Raymond gamble are at a casino called Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The second Charlie is alone in the casino gambling and in the third scene Charlie and Raymond are both back at the casino in Las Vegas.

"21" - An MIT student uses his knowledge of math together with some other student to win a lot of money at casinos in Las Vegas. They were mentored by their professor. One of the reasons for gambling was to get quick money to pay his tuition.

The Last Casino -  In this movie 3 students are recruited by their professor and taught how to count cards so that they can go to the casino, play and win for him because he was banned from the casino after his was caught counting cards.

I just limited myself to watching the games and I didn't watch many games and I also don't follow the games often. It's funny that I see that analyzing the games I'm going to watch gives me more pleasure than when I just watched the games

This is because while I watch the game and see that the result of the game is going in the direction of my predictions, it makes me happy and even when it is not going completely in the direction of my predictions, I keep thinking about where I went wrong to correct it, I do it without involving money, just for fun. Also when I started getting involved in sports betting I started following the UFC, this was something I didn't even think about doing before I got involved in betting, but as I saw that football games come at a time when they took vacations, so I I would need to continue my bets, that's why I researched UFC, but today, when the big league games stop, I also stop placing my bets. I've just been following UFC and boxing and tennis without betting.

The truth is that it is a bit difficult to keep up to date with so many sports. I am very aware of European football, that includes La Liga, PL, Bundesliga, Serie A, but it is very difficult to watch them all, sometimes the match times Clash and it is difficult, I still go, but the Portuguese La Liga and other leagues already They don't give me time, with respect to boxing and the UFC it is easier for me to do the analysis because here the important thing is to know the capabilities of the athlete players, this is something that when we are Involved in this we can do well, of course it is something which we will always focus on doing better and doing well, it's really hard to keep up with all the proteins, I couldn't even keep up with baseball, basketball or something, Other than I don't like those sports.

Definitely, watching or listening from the radio more matches, races and other events. Or at least reading news about it, when you bet it's something you can hardly restrain yourself from doing because it interests you and because you think you can do something from those informations in order to place a better valued bet. In addition it's exciting to follow an event when you have bet on it or at least to learn how the event took place.

What are some of the hobbies that you have picked up as a result of your long term gambling but that doesn't involve gambling? If you are an avid gambling who is not addicted that is you have control over your gambling you may have caught yourself unconsciously being attracted to so other activities within the sphere of gambling that doesn't involve wagering. As for me one of such hobbies /pastime is being active in a forum like this where there are gambling enthusiasts. I enjoy joining in the discussions that go on here, I also enjoy sharing tips and reading the experiences of other people with similar interests in gambling.

That means you have enough to read on the forum to warrant it being your hobby to pass the time because if it is writing mostly, you will not spend more than a few times. Well, you have done well to at least find an alternative to addiction, but in my own, I do not have any addiction to fight, there is no trace of it at all so I am not even trying to pretend there is and be looking for an alternative to fight issues. For this, I continue to remain myself and do what I always do in normal life. I gamble when I want to, read books when want to, engage in forums and social media activities when I want to, trade when I want to, cook when I want to, drink when I want to, stay idle and think when I want to, exercise when I want, and sleep when I want to among others.

This is what I could term willpower at work since I have control over whatever I want to do and the place I want to be. The main reason is that I am never desperate for the money to be gained in gambling as I view it as a funfilled avenue that can give money if one is so lucky, so I never take it seriously as such.

I am now drawn into video clips and movies related to gambling stories, and mehn, I have learned a lot, I am thinking that these movies are best kept for myself in case someone close to me either friends or family member can benefit from if they ever get lost or get addicted to gambling.

If so many gamblers lived through the experience of other gamblers they might be able to be very careful when they gamble, when you don't see addicted gamblers sharing their past experience  in gambling people will think that it's working out for most gamblers out there.

The sad fact is, it's not, most gamblers lose their money and only a very limited number of gamblers get lucky for real, the earlier people know this the better it will be if they plan to start gambling, if you haven't watch some I recommend.

Like, Owning Mahoney, High roller, bugsy and much more, they are based on real live events.

Hmmm. I haven't picked up anything gambling related really, I mean if we're talking about hobbies and pastimes that is.

But if we're talking about mannerisms and certain behaviors that we might've unconsciously picked up from gambling, then I got a few, for one, I'm becoming even more versed with shuffling cards in a multitude of ways, so there's that. I also have become more smarter when it comes to managing risks and money, partly I guess from the fact that the discipline I got from gambling which is practically forged in fire by the way, after a very destructive gambling addiction and its rehabilitation. Back in my younger days I am a little on the reckless side, and would most definitely jump on the first sight of opportunity without gauging my options, thinking that would be the last time I'm going to be able to catch that chance or whatever.

These days I find myself weighing my options even in the most trivial things, like perhaps what food to eat for the day, or where to go when I wanna hang out with people and I don't know which house to visit first. For more crucial decisions, of course I see the difference. Thankfully this is because I literally had to work towards gaining that much discipline.

There is a gambling platform that has got a chat box where Gamblers get to meet and express their selves and probably share ideas on how well to gamble some even State out some strategies which help them to win, i have picked intrest in that chat box that i just find myself always there whenever I'm not gambling or on the forum here, some even share their gambling stories a s some of these stories are funny and rib cracking while the others has got a whole lot of lessons to learn for it.

Away from that place is a fan zone in telegram that i joined so as to get updates on happenings around teams and they have actually helped my knowledge a whole lot scrolling through the channel as they do have both speculations, rumors and facts about football.

[Troytech]

I've not really noticed anything new apart from the fact that I've started involving in football discussions more often than I would normally do and it's always about who would win the next match and which team is enjoying the best form or if they are any sure games. Normally I used to be a player fan and would of love players over clubs but now it's all the stake for me, but it's quite cool 😎.

Although I've also picked up a habit of asking people for ticket codes to see what they are up to and conpre with my own predictions to sometimes clear my doubts on some games that I'm not quite sure off or to try my luck on someone else wager.

We all have our habits and we based our facts on the necessary plans for improvement and notwithstanding the pressuring force of the system. We gamble for extra changes for our pockets and not according to the outside plans. We have absolutely nothing to lose but our essential money in the pocket. Football discussion and engaged ourselves with football related predictions groups and telegram channels, atleast they will provide aides for us when it comes to games. We predict and most time our predictions doesn't go according to plans.

I also have similar experience. Because if you are betting on a particular sports, you tend to learn more about the game, the athletes, their current health conditions - yes, knowing their health and mental status somehow can affect their performance inside the field. Also, I try to check their social media tweets or other statements, what they have to say, and read between the lines. I'd say, if I am closely following a certain match, I think I become a gossip person. lol But not to the point that I will discuss it to other people. It is only for my own consumption and weigh my chances of my bets.

And this is why, discussion threads in this forum is quite helpful as you will read insights that you never think for yourself. Some users have actually good analyses of the upcoming events. You can already come up with good decision afterwards.

I think that's one thing that you will noticed if you started to bet on the favorite sports that you followed. And when you see discussions, obviously you want to involved yourself as you can have a say on the subject matter and can still increase your knowledge on that sports as well.

And mostly, you are going to tune in the matches, even if it might be late to your time zone because you have a bet on that game. Or you can enhance yours skills to predict those games because you are watching every game and see how this teams might fare against each other in the future.

Same with me. With the added spice of gambling, I started to be more active in different sports. I think this is the real purpose of gambling, it's just to add more fuel to the sport that we love so that we won't get bored with it.
UFC, Car Racing, Basketball, and Boxing, are sports that I do love but sometimes it gets boring to try and research and analyze the incoming game or fight because we will have nothing in return after the game. But, when we put some money on the line it changes everything, our perspective on the game, our cheering capability is enhanced, and we sometimes even shout for the game although we don't do that normally. Emotions that will make us watch the next game again.

I am an active gambler in sports betting on football and several other sports and apart from that I have hobbies outside of betting such as watching every sports match and I even watch sports matches that I don't like.
So much so that I have a subscription to several paid applications to be able to watch every sports match continuously, even though I only bet on a few sports, but for me watching sports matches is really fun when I have free time.

I also have the same habit as you, if sometimes there are no matches scheduled, I start to read some new news on this forum, especially regarding football and other games too.
Even so, I am still an active gambler even though I have control and also have hobbies but I continue to bet every chance I get.

Now I don’t have any strong interest in gambling other than making money. But back in 2016-2017, Bitsler used to make Bounty rolls, which is basically a contest where gamblers beat other gamblers by hunting a number in dice. The prize money was very high, and it was basically free money. So yes, these types of games where the prize is real money kept me attracted towards the gambling. I still miss those eras of gambling casinos. Just Primedice and Bitsler and their amazing events.

[348Judah]

As part of the benefits i learn from the gambling activities of the forum which are non-gambling benefits are the socialites i got to meet from  here, the interactions and discussions, with openness to new opportunities after interactions, another aspect of benefits is from the learning angle, i also learn from here and in gambling, there is nothing as good as making fun while learning is taking place and you can as well get informed through the process.

Aside gambling, I usually discuss with my gambling friends in real life. Some times we just laugh about our previous wins and share stories of interest. We share new ideas which would be profitable for us all. Gambling is fun when you sometimes take a leg out of the game. A continuous gambling activity will one put you into jeopardy and might even make ones life crush. Also this forum is where I mostly enjoy my gambling discussions. So when I have nothing doing or free from work I just get into any active thread a drop my opinion of the matter. It's a very interesting thing to j ow that I can really communicate with a lot of different Gamblers from all over the world. Where on a normal, it's difficult to get such unlimited access to opinions.

[Kelward]

Before now I wasn't much into sports bet, I'd rather watch and discuss wrestling, but when I met friends who watch and bet on football matches, I picked interest in football. Now apart from gambling, I enjoy discussing football matches with friends, we will discuss and predict matches. Football discussions is a common thing among friends in my neighborhood and it's very interesting. This gambling section in this forum is another interesting place where I enjoy gambling discussions about different types of games, experiences and gambling news.

On some level I think I have started to watch and enjoy more sports due to gambling. I watch a little tennis, soccer, and now and then rugby. If I plan on wagering 1 day I need to familiarize myself with the rules and players of these sports.

Everyone should strive to educate themselves in any gambling game, but also not let it control their life.

[bering]

Although i didn't gamble so often and not for everyday but basically i can't let this thing go from my daily life so that's why i was always be talking about gambling games for each day which is currently i liked sports betting the most for my gambling activities and beyond wagering i usually spend my time to discuss about football or the particular event of this sport in this forum or outside this forum and i liked to read some of good posts in this forum when people has starting to discuss about news updates on the particular teams and the performance of my favourite team and from outsides forum i did the same thing too that if i have free time usually me and my friends always be involved into interesting discussion to talking about football events and we can do this for hours
