Would you bet against the club you support?

[Zadicar]

How then do we determine if a team would win a game when we don't mainly know the future? Sport gambling truly works on analysis, some of the times, but that is not enough to make us accept the winning opportunity of a specific team. That's why a hysterical fan wouldn't risk handing out a bet against his team. What if his team ends up winning the game. How would the fan free? He is going to feel both bad and not completely win/for himself. He'll most probably also will have this thought, what if my team wins? If the analysis which may be the reason you said something about know if a team would lose or not, the best sport analyst would be making kill I guess. Yet, they end up fetching slips with errors. It's always better to hold the funds.

We can root for different teams, and sometimes it happens that these teams can play among themselves, and if we want to place a bet, we will evaluate which of them is stronger now. Or you can just watch a good game without betting if you have some beliefs, that do not allow you to bet against a certain team.

For example, it’s difficult for me to bet against City, or against Real Madrid, but not because I like these teams so much, but because I’m scared to bet against them. But when they play a match between themselves, it is difficult for me to determine the winner, but if I want to place a bet, I will need to choose someone.

We are free to do that and dont even think that someone would really be having the rights or power for them to control you on whom you would really be making that bet into. You are the ones who had been wary into the conditions in between teams on which it would really be that impossible that you cant really be able to point out on whose at advantage and whose really that on disadvantage. So it would really be something situational but it would really be just that common sense on whom you would really be betting into. Sometimes being that a die hard fan would really be resulting on betting into them despite of the disadvantage.You are the ones who would really be making up some choice and not other people. Betting against on which you do know that has the upperhand would really be just that bringing out
that kind of regret on which you might be ending up on punching up the wall.

In fact, betting against the club you support is quite rational. I will now explain why I think so. I used to think that betting against your favorite team was a betrayal. However, I once watched a video with a blogger who made excellent arguments for betting against your favorite team. And vice versa. It is absolutely wrong to bet on your favorite team. When you bet on your favorite team to win, you most likely will not be objective. You will exaggerate your chances of winning. Conversely, you will downplay the chances of your favorite team losing. It is much better to bet against your favorite team. If you lose, you will have fun. If you win, you get money.

The club/team you support might be for various reasons it might be for a player or anything. The team/club is your favorite doesn't mean the team/club will be a winner. The bet stands for the winning team on the other side favorite team/club might be the winner or loser. So, there is no obstacle to placing a bet against the favorite team/club.

We all have to decide on ourselves and the team to follow. So, whether a player chooses his best team or not, that's his decisions. But, what matters is being able to follow our instincts. Because as a gambler when we lose out on a team that we never wanted to bet on, yet, had to, due to our interest on the club, sadness would erupt on our mind. Gamblers actually need to choose what's on their thoughts not a team. Not to regret after losing out on the game. However, why players would feel bad for staking against their club, is because they lose out on the game. But, if the game gets in right, the player would probably be happy. The whole thing falls on winning not the team or club.

After I've lost a bunch of money for betting on my favorite club, I told myself there's no reason to bet based on emotion and liking after all.

As a fan of this club I had knowledge of who was injured and if they players had bad relations with their coach. So I realized that this was my actual advantage. After realizing that betting against my fav club could earn me more money every so often I felt more freed and had my wallet fuller also.

Utilize knowledge when playing and put aside emotions. If you know a lot about a club sometimes it's best to bet against it too. They aren't losing just from your bet anyway.

Oh no, there is no way I can accept betting against my favorite club. Favorite means no matter how much it is possible to go against, I can't bet against my favorite club in any way so far. Be it a player or a supporter or someone in team management because he works for a club, it seems strangely counterintuitive for him to bet against that club. I'm not a player or a team management person but as a supporter I still can't bet against my favorite club Real Madrid till date.

You are right and I support your opinion. There is no reason to place a bet on the team who is your favorite. To place bet we should not fall on any type of emotion hence we should avoid emotion and bet for those teams whose winning chance is higher and in this way we may make money. If always we bet on the favorite team emotionally then there is a high risk of being a loser.

Good thinking. Do that and you will probably get a good profit out of the club that you are supporting. It's not like we are traitors by doing that, the support is still there as a fan of them but we cannot keep on losing money on betting for them forcefully just because we love them.
It's true, it's better if you know your own team and if we realize that they are going to lose against their opponent then we should just keep it real and bet for the other team.
Also, we can still watch their game and cheer for them but we have to be ready with the results because that's how we predicted it.

Sports betting most times isn't about the team you support, if you always try to be sentimental about your favorite club and you gamble either actively or passively, I advise you to just quit gambling. You must always ask your self some questions before betting on a team even if that's your favorite club. Football has a lot of uncertain outcomes that no one can fully understand. I would bet against the club I support if I notice that they are not in a better form, this doesn't make me unloyal to my club, I'm just being logical.
