What do you think? Is it possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to be gambling for fun?

This is hilarious I would say, tho it's fun you know watching the game you bet on there's more added fun you get cause it's not just betting on something you ain't sure of sometimes watching your favourite teams play live is an added advantage for your betting but necessarily doing this routine often can amount to things some don't usually wants.Thing's like having to be addicted to watching live matches to follow up bets and all that and forgetting the fact that there are other things to to at the moment, I know what I'm saying cause some persons don't have discipline when it comes to sports betting and watching matches as well, they can spend the entire day in the match halls. So it's fun gambling and possible for the gambler to get this added fun but it requires discipline for oneself.

It's true football is fun watching the the game we bet on is supposed to be for fun too but in a chase where a gambler has a high blood pressure HBP is not really advisable to watch a game you bet on for it will be better you cheek it on flashscore.mobi or LiveScore.com which ever platform a gambler may choose to cheek his score than watching it on screen or live.

You already know that you have a history of high blood pressure, why you bet, after all, if you don't watch it live,
you don't know how the match goes and how each team performs.

I think it would be more surprising when you suddenly find out the score or result of a match that surprises when the team loses.
Watching the match live will spur adrenaline and is better than just looking at the scoreboard.

If you do find yourself having those health implications then it will really be best that you should avoid into those things that gives out that kind of spike of emotions on which staying up on to those things on which you do seem that you are comfortable with but just like on what you have said that the real essence on betting on sports is into watching it live on which you could really be able to enjoy yourself
seeing your team winning and same goes on having that adrenaline rush when the team is really that losing. The real essence of enjoyment or entertainment is really into the time or moment on seeing
the game live, but well it will really be always according into someones preference when it comes into this aspect on which we know that it will really be having that different approach into each person.

Do you consider gamblers who bet on fewer games that they can watch to be gambling more for fun than to make money?

My answer
It is a yes for me, because fun is not just in betting on these games, but following up with these games by watching them contributes to the fun you intend to have. If you bet on so many games across many leagues that have kick-off times clashing, then you are obviously betting with more intention to make money than have fun because there is no way you are going to watch all these games at the same time.

What do you think? Is it possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to be gambling for fun?

To answer the last question I think it can be very entertaining for a gambler with a long bet slip to gamble for fun, I also love combining a lot of games and staking a very low amount just for fun. But watching the games you bet on comes with a lot of excitement especially when you are watching the game with a lot of people, this isn't something I do actively because I'm not really a fan of watching football. Everyone has their preference and what makes them entertained mine is just combining a lot of games and waiting patiently to see the outcome.

Watching games or a certain sport but not you are a fan of it which does proves out that you are really just that aiming for winning up money on which we are all guilty with this.
There would be people that much prefer on enjoying up the game that they do know and like and bet on the same time. If you are making multiple bets into those sports that you dont even know or interested about
then there's no point on watching it. You would really be trying out to maximize possible profits or winning which could really be achieved through parlays. Real entertainment will really be that comes after on how you would really be able to make bets into those sports or games on which you are highly knowledgeable upon specially if you do like or a solid fan then you will really be that wanting or interested on watching it live because
you will really be that loving  for them to win and of course you will be winning some money at the same time.

[I_Anime]

Betting on more games than you can watch sounds like it would be overwhelming. I only bet on events that I am interested in and enjoy watching. People who bet on dozens on events are probably gambling professionally or it can be a rich guy who enjoys whaling. It should not be done to feed an addiction because this can lead you to financial ruin.

Or it might be someone with the mindset of getting rich quick through gambling, because why will you gamble on multiple games and the same time you saying you doing it for entertainment, to me there is no entertainment there because if one want to really gamble for entertainment he or she will just have to choose a certain game they enjoy watching and stake some money In it to make it more exciting and stuff.

Why not?

We have to consider each of us gamblers in our own ways. You bet more? you're a gambler, you bet less - still a gambler. You watch the games you bet - you're a gambler. You don't watch the games you bet on - you're still a gambler.

Fun is subjective but losing is not fun.  

Watch if you have time but never miss to have fun with the money you bet in however means you can.

[taufik123]

-snip-
Exactly, i know that stigma when you are checking the score line of a bet you placed and eventually sees it as a lost bet but if you are watching it live and the game is not going in your favour, before the game ends you must have pull it off from your mind except if it is a game that the outcome is determined towards the ending part of the game like the die minutes or injury time.

It's just about how a person is surprised by the unsatisfactory results that result in a person who has heart disease.

But after all, everything can also be adjusted to everyone's wishes.
Either they just want to see the scoreboard at the last minute without looking at the game or even follow the game from the beginning.

Until now, I have never heard of someone dying from being shocked by losing a bet,
but it is possible that it can happen when they make a sizable bet and lose.

So it's fun gambling and possible for the gambler to get this added fun but it requires discipline for oneself.

Judging from the obvious fact, most of those that gamble are not doing it for fun, so regardless whether you are a football bettors or in house game player, all is aimed at winning some extra bulk, only very few gamblers does gamble for fun, so if you see someone with a long betting slips can never be for fun and infact it could be an exhibition of possible addictions because it rear to see those with multiple games selections winning their bets because of their increase chances to lose.

It's hard to control the greed factors in most gamblers so having some form of control or decipline while gambling become almost impossible to do and at that we tend to get back to the bottom all with an attempt win something big each time.

So gambling without the aim of having fun could be out of conception, and can and will always lead to dissatisfied results.

[Slow death]

What do you think? Is it possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to be gambling for fun?

In my case, I have bet on many games, but I have always enjoyed watching games when they involve teams that I am a fan of. I don't watch games just because I bet on them. In my opinion, the fun in sports betting is in watching a certain game and analyzing it thoroughly and predicting which team will win and which team will lose, and also being able to predict how many goals will be scored by each team. So when I analyze the games and then see the results and realize that I was right, I am very happy because I won. In my opinion, that is the fun part of sports betting. Now, when I watch games involving teams that I am a fan of, I also have fun. But I don't look at it as sports betting, I look at it as if I were watching a movie. Something that did not involve any challenge on my part.

[Makus]

A long slip indicates that the bettor wants more money, while a slip that tends to be less indicates that the gambler doesn't really mind if they only get a small win from their bet, which is what is being discussed here. However, after the reply made by @_act_, I think we all have to agree that the fun is derived from favorable conditions or winnings on our bets.

In as much as your statement  could be correct, it only applies  to a gambling ticket of more odds. There are ticket with up to 7 games and the resulting odds are just 2.47odds it all depend on the games selection. In situations  like this, the gambler is likely to have made selections of 1.12 odds and odds within this range.  So one could  make selection of more games and still results to a very low odd all in the name of making good predictions whereas  a single selection could make same old. However fun is derived  more when you win, thee is no doubt about that, but the acceptance of the fact that one must experience loss based on luck would help preserve the flavor of experiencing fun even while losing.

It's true football is fun watching the the game we bet on is supposed to be for fun too but in a chase where a gambler has a high blood pressure HBP is not really advisable to watch a game you bet on for it will be better you cheek it on flashscore.mobi or LiveScore.com which ever platform a gambler may choose to cheek his score than watching it on screen or live. Reason been that a game you bet on to win is probably playing draw and you are watching it already maybe the team you bet against probably makes an attempt of scoring goal or probably scored a goal in that case such gambler with such high blood pressure sickness might definitely slump and fall. For me I don't really watch the game I bet on I just open livescores and cheek on them for peace of mind.

Well it depends on the person in question and how he can be able to handle such situation. Most people can feel comfortable watching live match which they have predicted. if it happens that such game end in their favoure they just smile, and it if loses they just count it as one of their unlucky days but don't take it to another level. I believe those kind of persons that have high blood pressure when watching a match they predicted, are those who don't gamble for fun but gamble for the money and also predicted with higher amount above what they ought to have gambled with.

Or it might be someone with the mindset of getting rich quick through gambling, because why will you gamble on multiple games and the same time you saying you doing it for entertainment, to me there is no entertainment there because if one want to really gamble for entertainment he or she will just have to choose a certain game they enjoy watching and stake some money In it to make it more exciting and stuff.

I agree with what you said, someone who bets on many games at the same time, of course the purpose of the bet is not for entertainment but for profit, which wants to get profit in a short time or in other words, maybe they want to get rich quickly. This mindset is certainly not justified because it will only trap them in my losses, I am sure of this, not to mention because their goal is to get profit while the game they play is likely to lose, it can make them emotional.
With people who really aim to find pleasure or entertainment, they will bet on only one game by choosing a game that they think is interesting to them, not making many bets at the same time. I have experienced where the team I support competes together but what I do is only choose one of the teams that I support, not betting on both.

You already answer it dude following up with these games by watching them contributes to the fun you intend to have. I mean is there on earth a people that do gambling without watching the game and If so why do they bet the fun is when you also watch the game too in my opinion.

Most people can feel comfortable watching live match which they have predicted. if it happens that such game end in their favoure they just smile, and it if loses they just count it as one of their unlucky days but don't take it to another level.

That group of people are more in number than the group that stays quiet after placing a bet and only checking back once the results are out, or forget about the bet completely and discover their loss a couple of days later.

The system is designed to be like that. Also the reason why sports companies and sports grounds owners love their job. They dont need to call people to sit there and watch the games, they will get filled without asking anything, allowing them to rise the prices.

I believe those kind of persons that have high blood pressure when watching a match they predicted, are those who don't gamble for fun but gamble for the money and also predicted with higher amount above what they ought to have gambled with.

Adverse health outcomes will be a huge list here. Mostly preventable though, but that would mean control over gambling which is the first thing to do.

[shield132]

Do you consider gamblers who bet on fewer games that they can watch to be gambling more for fun than to make money?

I think that it's individual. I had a neighbour who watched almost every football match and was also betting on all of them but he wasn't doing it for fun, it became his profession, he was feeding his family by making sports bets for decades.

It's true football is fun watching the the game we bet on is supposed to be for fun too but in a chase where a gambler has a high blood pressure HBP is not really advisable to watch a game you bet on for it will be better you cheek it on flashscore.mobi or LiveScore.com which ever platform a gambler may choose to cheek his score than watching it on screen or live.

I don't know what kind fo blood pressure you are talking about because people with blood pressure still live normal lives with the help of medicaments. Suppose someone has more serious blood pressure problems, like intracranial hypertension. In that case, such people shouldn't even watch football or any exciting activity and should be at home in a silent and comfortable environment because that is a very serious medical condition.

Watching the game is part of the fun of betting, yes that's true, and regarding those who bet but don't watch the game they bet on I think that means they bet not for entertainment but purely to multiply their money.
But there are also several factors that cause this to happen, such as they don't have time to watch the game they bet on for other reasons such as being busy with their activities or other things.

So I also can't be sure about the reason a gambler bets without watching the game, because there are quite a few factors that cause it, but for me if I really don't have time to watch the game then I think I would prefer not to bet at all.

[CryptSafe]

I do not think it is feasible for a gambler to watch all his bet slip at the same time and also, i do not think it is every gambler that watch the game(s) they bet for reasons being that they are actually avoiding a scenario of seeing their loses as it feels not alright with everybody. Although it is part of the fun but sometimes it just happens that one needs to avoid some situations of being to emotional after watching their bet cut. Naturally, you feel disappointed when your team losses a match not to talk of when you bet on a team to win and you were part of the match watching them lose their game making you lose your bet irrespective of the fact that you did that for fun or not. It is just a natural occurrence or experience to say.

Many instance to think about watching a game that was included in the bet slip, especially when it is the last game to play on the ticket. While it's all about the fun watching,  a lot of suspense when the match is live, this increases the level of entertainment from the sport though.

It is not possible to watch all the live games included in the ticket, you can't put on different screens at the same time, what i often do is go back on any of my socials to watch back the highlights or recap of the game, that will give me more insight on how to place my future bet based on the team current potentials.

That will be an exception if that person have much free time to watch all matches that he placed his bet. But we are not like them because we have so many things that we do daily which makes us can not watch all the matches. We can only maybe watch 1-3 matches while we can place a bet for 6  bets at once but we never complaint with that especially if we place that bet for have fun because we know the team that will play with the opponent.

I think people place their bet but not watch the match is because they know the team and they have knowledge that help them to pick their bet. But if we watch the match, we must prepare ourselves to prevent our tension not to become high because when our team is lost against the opponent, that can effect to our emotion. If we can not watch the match because our busy day, that should not be a problem for us when we place the bet because maybe we only want to place the bet for fun.

You can always have multiple screen at the same time, or splitting one screen to show multiple streams of the sport.

But yeah, attention is limited, and it is hard to follow many things at the same time.

In reality, we are very bad at multi tasking, it's much better to focus on one thing only, and get that right.
