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

[Zadicar]

it doesn't always work that way. It's not necessary to watch all the games you've added to your betting slip and that doesn't make your gambling an irresponsible one. Some weekends, you get see countless numbers of EPL and other leagues games that are playing at the same time. Even though you're aware that you can't watch all of them, you will still have to bet on most of them that you're familiar with and that you can at least predict thier outcome.

-snip-

Yeah, there is no obligation for a bettor to watch all the matches he bets on, because there are some cases where a bettor is only interested in getting money from a match, and has no interest in watching it because his goal is only to bet and get money, and that's all. Maybe in some matches he will watch it, but that is because he feels that the match is important and it is one of his favorite teams playing, but in other games he did not follow them because it was impossible to watch them all, especially when there were several matches whose schedules clashed.

Most of the time we are really that like this, we do even make out some bets into those sports on which we dont even know on which this is something that shows that you are really that trying out to make money out of those sports picks that you do have without even needing up any strategies or analysis that you do applied on the moment that you do make out some bets. Its true that there's no obligation for a certain bettor to watch out those games as they do hover and seeing their bet results. We do know that there would be those people who will be mind off about making money in the end of the day.

I totally agree, watching the games is part of the fun, persinally I enjoy watching the UFC and box match, because those are fast bets. I don't like at all betting in long events like futball, for me is crazy to watch a 3 or 4 hours game to see the result change in the las minutes like it happens in the paste superbowl.

And another COOL side is to place live bets in the current match because after the first minutes of the game we can realize who have better ods and make a better prediction of the outcomes.

In my opinion there is no fun if the gambler doesn't watch the games. If he is betting on many games just for the sake of the potential profit he can make, it means he is considering gambling to be a source of money and not a source of entertainment. And it's in fact a wrong approach, because besides not making any profit on long run, he isn't going to have any fun too.

Watching the game is an essential part of the sports betting activity. That is where the excitement comes from. At same time, you have to watch the games to draw your analysis and conclusions about each team. A gambler who has his predictions decided only by third party's opinions is less likely to have success on his guesses. You have to develop a personal feeling and intuition regards players and teams' performances.

I have a similar opinion as I have a friend who doesn't watch games. He just bets on his phone because he likes to gamble and wants to feel good after winning some money. I feel like some of us are inclined to be addicts, as he's a heavy smoker and tells me about quitting all the time, but never does. He also drinks a lot and gambles without ever watching the matches.

On the other hand, I always watch the matches I bet on, rarely drink and never smoke. I like my friend, he's a funny guy, but I don't get the way his mind works
I'd feel depressed if I had to bet on matches I don't watch and teams I don't follow.

Most of the time I watched games I bet on but I feel unease at times when the result had not been favorable though Its fun all through because I bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose, I do bet on soccer matches especially the top teams whom I predicted would score more than two goals that is bet over 1.5 thus It is always fun after the first goal is scored very early while watching the match thereafter I feel relax and in happy mood that surely the next goal would be scored knowing it's a star match and both club are attack minded playing clubs.

Football  is an exciting  game to spectate, the fact that we also play football  most times to catch  some fun make it very interesting  to watch top teams  playing skillfully, and its more fun when you are spectating the team you support most especially  when they are on the wining side. The performance  of my team hasn't  been great lately and gambling on them seems to be a waste of money irrespective of the size. Well I still spend time to watch their games  and if I'm  moved, I might place a bet on them, but its fun though. How we could determine the winner of  match by watching their previous games and choose the favorite options which are likely to come through. But it all depends on luck who wins or loss a bet.

I am of the point of view that one should only place a bet on the sports that he or she loves to watch. This way, he will automatically the pro and cons of the teams and players and that will help in making decisions on which player/team to bet on. Watching a match and betting on it at the same time also makes it more interesting and it seems that we are ourselves involve in the match. 

And another COOL side is to place live bets in the current match because after the first minutes of the game we can realize who have better ods and make a better prediction of the outcomes.

I have been doing the same for quite some time and my winning ratio in such bets is high. The reason is that once you place a bet when the match is in progress, we are in a better position to know which team will win and hence can place the bet on it with more confidence. I have also sharing such bets placed by me in my posts.

I think feeling bad or disappointed when the result of the match you bet on turns out to be a loss is a natural feeling experienced by a gambler, as long as it is not too excessive, and as long as the feeling arises not because you lost money but because the team you favored in a match lost.

Basically I would say that in my opinion in any type of game especially sports betting the most important thing you should limit is the amount of money you bet and also your expectations of winning, such as what you do where you only bet with the amount you can afford to lose, and the benefits of both of these things are quite large where you will not feel upset because of losing money and also you will not feel upset when it turns out that the team you previously favored loses, because after all anything unexpected is very possible to happen on the field even if for example you choose a team that is statistically superior.

We are just humans on which it will really be just that normal that its something that we would really be able to feel out or the emotions that kicks in. Whenever we do lose up money on whatever chances or conditions that you are into then you would really be getting pissed or frustrated. There's no fun on losing money and it would really be just normal reaction to have. Gambling should really be that for fun and not for making money because on the time or moment that you would be finding yourself on a status on which aiming for money then you will really be finding yourself having that kind of pursuing on making up some winning and even if it means that you have lost it all, then you would really be that trying to make more deposits just because you havent been able to achieve on what you do have in mind.

Luck is important in sport bets and apart from that, the kind of strategies we are also using is every important because that is what is going to help us to win bets more without depending on luck or any other ways. People that has good strategies in sports bets will not always complain of losing money because they are winning constantly. We all want to be making profits but due to the lack of understanding on how we can make more money through gambling with real and working strategies, we tend to complain everytime of bad luck which is not always true. Working strategy in betting will always bring us fortunes depending on how effective it is.

That is why bet only what we can afford to lose. Losing is painful and even more when you're watching the game. The fun losses at that part because emotional impact is bigger than the enjoyment you're having by watching the games. Losing for both ends while witnessing your money go away is hard to bear and accept.

Yeah. Like an occasional gambler like me, I would always prefer to stake on short term events that displays quick results because I do not want to keep being an expectant for too long and lastly the outcome of the game would not be to my favour.

It is best preferred to me that whatever it maybe, the result should not take too much time so that my thoughts of expectations can always settle at rest.

And another COOL side is to place live bets in the current match because after the first minutes of the game we can realize who have better ods and make a better prediction of the outcomes.

I do not bet on raffle events such as non-live events because I believe if I do not win probably the bookmakers must had manipulated my winning chances so for that I would always bet on live events and also follows them up live. Then I feel some tips of analysis against my future betting after watching and observing the strengths and loopholes of the teams especially in sports games.

A gambler who has his predictions decided only by third party's opinions is less likely to have success on his guesses. You have to develop a personal feeling and intuition regards players and teams' performances.

First and foremost, we all gamble to find more entertainment and making money is just a bonus. But in reality, we are motivated to gamble more just to make more money, and having that entertainment becomes optional.

So if you focus on this type of mindset, and you chose to bet a lot for the sake of money-making, then you are doing the wrong way.  Betting needs also deep studies and analysis so that the rate of success will increase, but if you focus more on money-making even with less understanding on your bet, most likely you will end up losing your bet, and lose your hard-earned money.

It is always best to use your spare money when it comes to gambling. There is no assurance of anything when it comes to these games of luck. Don't promise or anything to anyone as you will just put yourself into a tight spot.

Your game will only be fun if you are using your spare money. The fun goes away when you are losing and you just borrowed the money from someone else.

[tread93]

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?

Would have to agree. Like 7 years ago I was playing in the championship for my fantasy football league and just when all odds were against me my last player Travis Kielce got like 40 points or something and I was over the moon!

[Hatchy]

I guess that part is kinda twisted. Most times we say we gamble for the fun and entertainment. Yea tru though but then it's mostly because of the profits we get or loss after our gambling sessions. When we place bets sometimes, we just have to watch the games till the final second. Though it's not necessary as it even have some health complications like heart attacks or shocks. Like someone who placed and huge amount of money on a game with full confidence but forgor it's still a game and anything can change. The game ends up cutting the ticket and losses. Such person will be shocked and frustrated for that round. So it's better to sometimes place little bets so you can monitor them without getting stressed...

Yeah, some of the worst cases of financial ruin are basically people that get loans and then bet with them.

Or in the case of exchanges, the CEO would be using the clients money and bet with them.

It is crazy, because I guess he could have just deposited the money into a safe savings account and get all the money. Instead he just got greedy and wanted to earn even more from money that wasn't his.

Crazy world we live in.

It’s true that there’s no reward without a risk attached, but there’s a huge difference between taking risk and being greedy, you can’t say your gambling for fun and then end up risking way too much, and gambling with money that’s capable of causing you a heart attack or a shock, it only means you’re solely gambling for the financial benefits of the game, which is very dangerous, because when you risk too much, and eventually lose the game, you’ll be causing yourself harm, especially when the money was meant for something else.

True, and of course no one will ever feel completely okay when they lose money including in gambling, but as I said before that do not let the feeling happen excessively, meaning that this is why from the beginning we must know and understand the risks first before we get involved, make sure that you are not a loser who only wants to win but is not ready for the risk of losing.

Another thing as you said that gambling should not be used as a place to make money, anything that cannot be predicted can never be used as a place to produce, and in addition the risk of losing will always be a possibility that will continue to lurk you every time you run a session. On the other hand we can see about the fate of gamblers who make gambling a place to make money, in the end addiction is something they will definitely experience and we can see that most of them experience a lot of setbacks.

[Woodie]

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

Believe it or not it's much easier to gamble on a game you watching than one which is just based on predefined numbers by the bookies...so it's not just the fun, it's also about ensuring you get paid that money.

Take for example the Manchester United Vs Tottenham game, Utd were considered as the favourites of the game before kickoff but when the real game started on the pitch you could see Spurs were the better team and easily conclude Tottenham would win and back them, and it became even more clear after the Bruno send off..so it's not just the fun, you have better chances to tell which team gets to win!!!

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

The second a bet slip has more than 5teams , then it all become gambling and you wont talk about fun here as you want luck to be on your side.

Using spare money that we don't use for anything for gambling is always recommended. That will not makes us meet a problem when we want to buy something we needed. That will also work for the games you bet and you want to watch the games because when your team lose, you will not lose too much money. You can act normally without regret of your losing because you know that gambling have the risks of losing the money.
