Watching the games you bet on is meant to be a part of the fun. (2)

This discussion is mostly about sporting events, for instance, football.

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?

Most likely for me they are gambling for fun as someone who bets to win money tries to minimize the time they wait for betting and honestly these guys putting a parlay of 25 games spanning from September to December I don't get what they want with such bet, trying their luck in the long run, it is plain stupid in my opinion. People who watch the games on TV I think are the ones who bet on a few games on different time schedule and most of the time they usually do it during weekends or Champions League events, I have done it personally and I have won several times doing so, betting on 3-4 games for a weekend and watching those games, too bad I don't have the patience anymore, my patience has gone and I now want instant results like slot machines.

To start with, in general, I don't believe people gamble for the fun of it. I think they do so as a means of increasing their earnings/income. As for a gambler with a long bet slip, it's obvious they're super determined to win something out of their activities and that's what informs many to expand their picks. They just want more out of little. So, for these ones there's nothing like gambling being fun or leisure. It's all business

There's a thrill that watching the games you bet on comes with but this are for active gamblers that stake very high in most cases, this makes it more enjoyable for them to watch. I remember the match between ivory coast and Nigeria a lot of Nigerians bet their last card on the game due to the fact that it was their country playing at the finals coupled with the expectations they had due to the performance level of the team..some people staked above 200k and they watched the game, this was an enjoyable moment for those that gambled but the result didn't have a favourable outcome because Nigeria lost the game. Even if you decide to gamble and watch the games you bet on ensure you gamble responsibly

Having a very long slip is an obvious sign that you are definitely not gambling for the fun of it because that's a clear indication of selected picks for the purpose of winning and making some money off it but then if you aren't gambling for such but for fun, it will be a few or a single pick which u are interested in and want to make fun of but multiple picks is obviously an accumulation of several games to accumulate a good number of odd to expect a certain amount after a certain stake in the picks.

Some persons may want to claim otherwise but I know for sure they aren't saying the truth otherwise why else will they be always when the game eventually turns against them and not in their favour if they were playing for just fun.

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

I think you are right, since myself I bet on the games and event that I can observe only and most of the time, football and my favorite teams. It’s not that much complicated to have more fun rather than getting addicted to games of luck while setting a bet on every possible high odds without really knowing for sure that thing would ever happen or if it’s possible to happen.
I also believe that gamblers who are betting against their favorite teams just for the sake of odds, better returns and to make money are the gamblers who never enjoyed gambling in the right way, sooner or later they will fall in a bad addiction without understanding the main meaning of sports betting which is having more fun while watching your favorite team plays.

Having long picks in one bet slip doesn't guarantee their success in gambling Whether they are determined or not, an ambler might be lucky, or they might not be in the log slip. In the right sense what should push a gambler to include more games in his slip should be the fact that they are not satisfied with low adds and want a big win instead of a small win. Determination shouldn't be forced to do that. In this context, determination feels like assurance and certainty of their games in gambling. Let them not be disappointed out of 10 bets none would they win if they continued with long betting slips.

I gamble for fun because I prefer to gamble for fun. I lost $10 last week and that made me increased my betting amount this week to $20. I have not done this since many months ago. In fact I have not done such this year. Luckily I won today's game and I earn $7 in profit. I can afford to risk and lose up to $30 weekly, but the highest I have gone for this year is $20 which is today. I do go for $10 if it is not parley. But if it is parley, I can reduce it to $2 to $5. I gamble because of my presence on this forum also, to have more knowledge about casinos and sport betting. The experience that can let me post better on this forum but I see it also as fun. But casinos are more entertaining than sport betting. I do not like to lose while betting but it is still fun if I do not go beyond my gambling budget.

[BABY SHOES]

There is a second intention as a gambler, when there is a better chance then they will enter into their multi bet.

For fun and also to make money if betting more.

Maybe there is a thought... We watch the game watching + betting then it is called having fun... If we bet more on a clashing match then that's money-making intent? Depending on their clear goals every bettor wants to make money even when losing this is just fun.

So I bet more even though the matches are aired together, it doesn't matter what I see at the end.

Yes! Many people, like me, were already passionate about the sport they follow before they started betting, so betting on them is just a complement to the fun, because rooting for a team you like and winning money is much better.

There are also people who bet online, so watching the game live on television, for example, gives them much more information about the outcome of the game and a team's potential to win, which can help them make a better bet before the game ends.

There are also those who bet in favor of one result, but root for the other... I know a friend who has done this. According to him, the reason is simple: Either he wins money or his favorite team wins the match, in both scenarios he ends the game happy.

I hope you aren't forgetting there are gamblers who don't watch any of the games they bet on rather they just look at the time and later go to check up on the game, those set of gamblers obviously may not be gambling for fun and you will find out that they are just trying to keep their emotions in check and that's why they have refused a follow up on the game, meanwhile its really different with some other persons as everyone has gotten their purpose for gambling at every point, I personally wouldn't watch my games but will check on them at them of the day. I just keep an open mind to all of this and believe everyone has got their preferences.

As of the last question you asked as it concerns long games, yes people do several things for the purpose of fun and even the weirdest things are done for fun sometimes but then majority of gamblers with long games are believed to gamble for money and if there be, it will be only but a very few who gamble with such for fun.

On my own opinion, I don't think it's just for fun because that cost a huge amount of money having that long bet slip. However, when a person just played for fun I believed shorter bet slip can be done to consider optimum satisfaction. But I don't judge a person with this kind of behavior, since we can't control emotions in the first place and it just depend on how the situation really works for them.

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

I am a gambler who bet on fewer games first as a way to manage the risks involved with betting on multiple games so that if I lose, I lose honorably without the guilt of being greedy and if I win even just a small amount, I am still in a safe zone. I make sure to have fun regardless and I achieve this by watching my favourite team or watching the game in which some of my favourite players are in. I don't care if my bet were on their team or against their team.

That is how I have fun. That is how we used to have fun in the past before the wide physical sports books and even the online sports book.

[crwth]

In my opinion, I agree that it is more entertaining if you watch the games that you bet on. It adds to the thrill that if you can win a specific category of what you bet on, it just makes it even more fun. But also, to add to that, it’s important to limit yourself and not be emotional if it doesn’t come your way.

I believe it is important to manage your risks when gambling. By doing that, you can bet more in the long run and possibly profit if the odds favor you.

There is a satisfaction when we make a bet and the result makes us able to get profit because the bet we made won. Watching a big match such as betting on a football match that is competing is a big and strong team like last night's match between Man City and Arsenal, this is a match that can be said to be big because they are equally strong teams with their performance. I watched this match but didn't make a bet, it was already exciting, let alone if I made a bet, it might be even more exciting. I agree with you, it is also very important to be able to control yourself or limit yourself when the bet you make results in disappointment, because if there is no good self-control, then maybe we will make mistakes that will make us bet again or others which in essence makes us uncontrolled and this tends to be able to harm us more.

That is a good way to treat gambling because you place your bet for have fun and not using too much money. You know how to manage your losses so you will not experience the big lose. But watching the games you bet will be a part of the fun and not think about the result you will get.

At least, you know what will happen with your money and will not trying to make money from gambling. You gambling because you want to have fun, that is the point. People need to do the same thing as what you do to avoids the will of chasing the win from gambling.

That is why gambling is just for fun. If we understands with that, we will not trying to spends too much money because that will not easy to wins some money in gambling.

[lovesmayfamilis]

I agree with the OP. I am a fan of one of the local teams. As for my attitude, I can confidently say that watching this team makes it easier for me to place bets, simultaneously combining business with pleasure. Just as the OP describes, people who do not place bets regularly but have specific goals (in this case, entertainment) always get a result from such bets that is more noticeable than chasing all the games while completely depriving themselves of watching them.

[_act_]

Yes, that's of course true, watching the matches we bet on is definitely more exciting than just sitting still and watching how the teams attack and defend each other. So, what's your point here, do you just want to say that you agree with my opinion but by repeating the narrative in your words?

No one wants to lose while gambling or betting. The excitement comes from winning. If the match start and the team you selected to win is winning or what you selected is achieved already, you will be full of excitement and you will like to continue watching the match. But if the team that you choose is losing or what you selected did not occur in the match after several minutes, the match is not going to be exciting to you. If it is not a match from a big league, most gamblers can use it to bet but not watch it. I prefer not to watch it.

I gamble for fun because I prefer to gamble for fun. I lost $10 last week and that made me increased my betting amount this week to $20.

Did you feel a pang of anger or bitterness when you lost that bet? Any faintest of such feeling? If you did, it simply means there wasn't any fun in that then. Most of us think because it's money we can afford to lose that it makes it look like it's for fun. No, it's not. Nobody will intentionally place a bet to lose it. That's where my point lies.

Well, yeah, I think it's obvious that anyone that have a long slip for staking on several games is because the person wants to archive a good profit but if the person still watch his favorite team while they play, it's still for the purpose of fun. So, I think it's just a combination of two desires whereas one desire could be higher than the other and we know the one that will be much.

The thing is that if you are watching a game that you are betting on, it could be a good strategy to bet on the team that you don't like.

Basically at the end of the match you will either be happy because your team won, or you will be happy because you won some money.

It's a simple yet interesting strategy that always makes you happy, for one reason or another.
