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

[Sandra_hakeem]

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.

Some people ain't even interested in watching any games BTW .. all they need is a close call for a win win, or a big sigh outta frustration.

 Basically, their reactions afterward is somewhat funny to me; "a random man strolls into the casino house and makes a request that his papers be checked, but the results would surely be a friendly warning to leave for his own good, or pay for another piece of paper (ticket) -- you can see how delighted he is during the process of checking where his predictions went south".. Sadly, the simulations in his mind this time around is NOT a guarantee for a win still.. SMH
Those are the set that gamblers that'll prefer to ask around, instead of watching -- " aye, does anyone knows what Newcastle played yesterday"?

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.

In the approach of gambling for fun I think someone will only feel upset or disappointed if they do not get the expected pleasure during the game that is being bet on, but if it turns out that the trigger for the problem of annoyance is because of the amount of money lost because the team that was bet on lost for example then it is clear that it means they are not gambling for entertainment but to multiply their money.

On the other hand, the concept of gambling for entertainment or fun I think it does not mean that a gambler comes with the hope of losing or losing money, because after all, regardless of your intentions and goals, in the end getting a win will definitely be more fun, but for the concept of gambling for fun then I will consider that the win is nothing more than a bonus after I feel happy with the game that is running.

There have been discussions on this topic and I think that you should not bet very often and only on those matches in which we are 200% sure, you should not bet just to bet, this is not right. In addition, betting on a match affects our perception of the game, many begin to dream that the team they bet on wins the match, and this deprives us of the pleasure of the match. We want them to win no matter how, and the game can be very beautiful, we may not notice this. I myself have noticed this in my perception and I have increasingly begun to refrain from betting if the match is expected to be very interesting with many excellent moments in the game.

I do not like to lose but it was like nothing happened. I was still very much happy when I lost it. If not because we are discussing about it now, it will not last long in my memory. It is a kind of money that I can give to someone in need for free. No one will like to lose but if you lose does not mean that you are not happy or thinking about the money. When I lost it, I did not think about it. I do not feel depressed, I am good and happy. No sign of mood swing or anger.

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?

Concerning football matches, I think yes, you are right. I and my friends commonly watch them in the pubs over a glass of beer, We are betting on them for a small amount of money just to have fun for every goal which adds chance to win the bet, Funny, but we have an agreement that the  winner pays the drinks we are consuming  and   as I have already said in some of my post my  friends have never thought that it is such a big deal to pay for others in the case they win.

A gambler with a long bet slip can't possibly be betting for fun only. On a casual day, when you are watching the game you bet on, it is going to be fun if you didn't bet much, like you bet one dollar or two dollars on it. And you are genuinely  playing it just for fun after a long stressful work day. But if you intentionally placed a bet on a game, especially when you have the mindset of winning, it's not going to be much of a fun watching the team you bet on lose.

You are going to be getting a little bit of panic, you are going to be getting a little bit of dissatisfaction when the games you bet on lose. Also if you are betting to win, that means you won't be betting on just one game,  you'll probably be betting on more than one game, because you are definitely betting for profit.

But if you are betting with friends, to go watch the match with friends and just relax, then it's supposed to be fun watching the game. But even when betting with friends and you start getting negative feelings when your team is losing, maybe you are not the fun bet-ter. You should probably just stick to betting for profit. In summary, enjoying a game you bet on depends on you.

Sports betting is not only about money, but also about getting emotions during the game, experiences and pleasant memories if we win. Therefore, it is combined and if you manage to win money, the player feels on top and in high spirits for a long period or until he loses. Everyone should remember that you will not be able to win all the time and losses will also happen, so it is important how the player can take a hit and not tilt. After all, everyone wants to win, and losses, especially several in a row, can completely deprive us of our entire deposit and the game will end. Nevertheless, sports betting is what I prefer from gambling, because it is much brighter emotions than from slots or something similar.

Making money is actually more fun than watching the game we bet on, that's why bettors will do analysis before betting to increase their chances of winning.

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

I don't think so, I think it is very possible that bettors who have long betslips want to test their luck and hope to win big.

I only watch matches I bet on when the match time coincides with my free time, so it is impossible to only bet on matches that I can watch for fun.

Sport betting only damaged the natural emotional feelings spectators had when watching games. For instance, in an Italian league game, I saw a girl weeping because her team was losing the game. Initially, such things were common, but recently, it's rare to see fans who genuinely cry over a game. Instead, gamblers now feel sad not for the outcome of the game, but for their lost money. In summary, to enjoy a match we must have a clear mind to accept how it ends, and feel for our team.

[Patikno]

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.

Your statement is also relevant, there was a time when I bet on Real Madrid, but they didn't perform as I expected. Even though the match had just finished the first half, there was still the second half, but I decided to go, do other activities rather than watch the match that was a waste of my time. I didn't realize from this discussion, it turns out that the most important thing is winning, which makes us happy.

For those who gamble or bet on their favorite team in sports, I think everyone's target is to win and if they win, they win money.  So I think everyone's objective is to win money while gambling.  And everyone enjoys winning money, which is why winning a gambling game is more fun than winning a normal game.  And I never believe in the statement that someone gambles just for fun.  Everyone has an extra care towards money

because the victory obtained from the team that is supported and follows the match must be an added pleasure. happy because the team wins as well as the bets made.
indeed when talking about betting, no one really has fun with betting. there is still a great desire and hope to win money.
but what needs to be considered when betting on a favorite team, we still have to think logically. I mean making reasonable opportunities. don't force bets on our favorite team if the chances of winning are small. don't ruin our enjoyment of the team's game with the betting losses we make.

This is true in many cases because there are lots of offline or online games but we don't enjoy playing them as much as we enjoy playing gambling games. And the more we avoid those games, the more they attract us. This is because there is a financial aspect involved and a lot of money can be won from it. That's why we go back to gambling again and again because everyone wants to get a lot of money quickly. And gambling games offer just that. and that's why we keep coming back here. and take comfort in the fact that we go there for fun

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

Definitely. I often watch UFC and I place a bet when I am 100% sure that my favorite fighter will win. The fact that I placed a bet makes the event even more interesting and exciting for me. I don't bet on every UFC event, I only bet on ones that I find very interesting, like Merab Dvalishvili VS Shean O'Malley. I sometimes make a bet on football games too. In the end, I gamble for fun but winning some money is a big bonus.

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

There are some questions that I read on this forum discussion board that there is no one fits all answer based on the fact that it is multifaceted and multidimensional. A person can have a long bet slip and still be gambling for fun while another player can bet on few games and is gambling for the money. This could go both ways. We have to consider the socioeconomic statues of both players. We have to bring into play other factors like experience and all of that thing. In all, at the end of the day the entertainment value and the money making intentions are all involved it is just that one may be higher than the other.

That's true but I think he exactly meant the case similar to mine, that I described above this quote.

But, betting on favorite teams isn't a good strategy.

There are many Manchester United and Chelsea fans, but both of them are under perform, if the fans always stick to bet on their favorite teams, they will regret since they already sad to see their teams lose and they also lose their bets.

Making money is actually more fun than watching the game we bet on, that's why bettors will do analysis before betting to increase their chances of winning.

That bettors should get a side job instead of betting if making money is more fun.

Sure, and betting makes the game more personal to me, like i have actually skin on the game. But i rather do that with sports i actually enjoy to watch.

And i gamble all the time without watching the games, even if there would be an option to watch, because i just don't have time for it and because i don't necessary understand or like the sport i am betting on.

Like for example, i had a lot of luck with basketball, but i don't think i have even watched one whole game that i've gambled on. I feel like the fact that i don't care as much for it, makes my predictions better. Because don't have any preconceived ideas on who should be winning, so it's easier to see with live games when looking just the numbers that who might win. Even when the odds seem wrong to me.

[doomloop]

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

Yes, because sports betting is generally not used for fun but people make bets on sports events to earn money unless it's a group of friends watching a game together and making bets on their favorite teams just for fun to see who will win. The situation you are talking about is a similar one where a person only bets when they watch the matches being played which can't be for profits because you wouldn't care whether the games are being watched by you or not if you are betting for profit.

Throughout my experience with sports betting and the knowledge I have about sports bettors, I have seen and known a very small percentage of people who make bets on sports events only for fun because most would do it for profits, and there are people who earn monthly incomes only from sports betting alone because they are very good at it.

It might be unbelievable for some but it's a reality, people do earn money from sports betting, good money sometimes.

If you are someone whose really that minding about making money when it comes to gambling then you would really be definitely be doing all sorts of things on which it will really be just that
normal that you would really be having such reaction on which we know that this is something that will be the most common consideration that you will really be doing up.
Watching up the games and having fun into those bets you had made is the real essence of gambling. It is really just that people who are really that too greedy and they do get derailed
when it comes to this manner and this is really the main issue for most gamblers on which they do forget the real deal with gambling and turned out to be mindful about making money.

I 100% bet on sports to amplify the entertainment value.  My end goal isn't to try to beat the books weirdly enough if I break even I call it a win.  People pay to go to concerts, do fun things.  We'll watching sports for me is fun, and gets better when I habe juice on it.  So it's a form of entertainment.  If I make some money off it, bonus.  People that bet sports that they aremt even interested in confuses me tbh.

[Makus]

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

True entertainment can only be had by gamblers who bet on sports matches that they also watch, so if they make long betting slips, I'm not sure they are aiming for entertainment. However, in different cases, they might get fun, of course with a small betting amount, they do it just to try their luck on the analyzes they have done.

Well I think entertainment  is a vast topic and everyone might be having their different  ways of getting entertained, our people normally  say " one man's  food could be the next man's  poison" so some persons might see gambling on more games as the fun they desire. Personally I gamble on both long and short bet slips, all of which I'm  always  strict with my bet amount to make sure I don't put in too much. I've  tried several  strategy and in all, have their separate feelings. Gambling on fewer game doesn't  necessarily  mean  the gambler cannot  use that medium  to chase after loss or gambling to get rich quick. It all depends on the mindset. But its more fun when you gamble on a sport game and also stream live.

[TEBTC]

For a Gambler with Long slip with games simultaneously he is not just betting for the fun of it but it is because of the love and passion that he has for betting and is promoted with the soul purpose of making money
