Favorite Sport Team

[SmartGold01]

However I’m curious whether some of you have changed your favorite teams over the years. It is not as simple as having a different favorite food compared to when you were 10. A favorite sport team, to me at least, will always be your favorite. So if you did change your favorite team, what was the reason?

I will have to answer this question with gambling intention otherwise it remains unchanged.
While gambling I do away favorite team or clubs but instead stick to my winning purpose only, and if booking a match I won't consider my team or club but giving winning to those which I think are to win the match. The reason is that there is money involved and I wouldn't want to lose my money by giving them winning at last they failed me without any results from them, but if I don't stake money then I will keep supporting my team to win.

Some of us have more difficulties keeping a team as favourite than others. In the Spanish League, which is the one I mainly follow, it is not the same to be loyal over time if your favourite team is Real Madrid or Barça, or even Atlético de Madrid, than if it is any other one. At least your results will be statistically better.

In my case, I bet little and for fun, so I don't have much trouble in losing a few bucks from time to time when my team loses. The happiness is double when they win, so I feel compensated. But if I bet to win, staying loyal to my club would be sad, and expensive.

Many years ago, straight out of high school, I was a fan of Arsenal because that was the team members of my household supported. I think this was just about the period when we had Thierry Henry and the other notables in the team. A little after then, I switched sides based on peer influences, I think it was my best friend. I changed support an got another favourite team, Barcelona. Majorly because of Samuel Eto, Ronaldihno. When they were leaving the stage, I once again changed favourite team to Real Madrid. Honestly, it wasn't because of Ronaldo but because of the whole team who were playing fantastically well at that time. I would later support Bayern Munich briefly before I settled for not having any favorites. It was just too stressful changing teams and emotionally not good for me. Now, I love good football and enjoy. That's why the news of a change of manager for Man U didn't bother me one bit.

Your question has nothing to do with sports betting. Why do you ask this question on the Gambling Discussion forum?
I've been a fan of a football team in my country since I was 10 years old. That was 25 years ago and I will never change my favorite team.
Maybe you should add some gambling related questions to your forum thread. Questions like "how often do you bet for your favorite team?" or "do you place bets on your favorite team losing a game?", but I remember that some of those questions were asked in older forum threads.

I do change my favorite teams when they become clowns. It's normal for a fan to look for a better team that's always in the semis or finals.

Football, basketball, hockey, and any other team sports. We all have passion for these sports but you rarely see someone who's a loyal fan even after a lot of roster changes.

That is normal if we change our favorite teams when they can not improves their performance in many matches. We don't want to see our favorite team lose many times and usually, if they realize what they need to fix, their performance can do better than before. But if they can not fix that, their performance will still down and that is the time for us to change our team to another one. I guess some people still pick their favorite team no matter what is their condition because they will support that team and hopes that their team can do better someday.

Since long ago I have been an AC Milan fan, my father has an important influence on my favorite team, because he is also an AC Milan fan, every weekend he always takes me to watch his favorite team until the time I also started to like this team. I have never changed my favorite team, so I have no experience and cannot share my reasons for changing my favorite team. Rossoneri will always be in my heart.

Most time on this board, I do discuss about and against my favorite team, I have been a fan of that club for more than 10 years now and what actually made me their fan was because I love how they were winning back in th days but the team seem not to be doing so well as before but yet, I still fan them.

[retreat]

It's been more than 15 years that I've known Man.UTD and until today I've never changed my favorite team from that club, even I myself don't really know the reason why, but I'm just captivated by that club and its history. From its golden age until now in its slump, I still love this club even when some people mock me as a MU lover but I don't switch myself to another club. Maybe for some people it sounds a little strange, but I don't think there's anything wrong with loving and being proud of your favorite club, because in my opinion a true fan is not only about supporting when your club is on top, but when it's down you also need to be there.

There are many factors why a team keeps on losing. And we as fans becomes analysts for the time being.

But it's just all about being a fan and having some side comments on what we think is right for the beloved team that we're supporting.

[hahay]

Although I love sports especially football and even, when I was a teenager I went to a football school. But honestly, I never really had a favorite team or player even though I also know that there are many great and  famous players and also about great teams in the world. But after I realized, I only respect them with the great achievements they get, but I don't really like or favor the team or player concerned. Thus, I will be able to be more flexible when it comes to choosing a team in betting, because I only respect their achievements  not being their fan.

Talking about club sports such as football, there are two types of fans. One is those who like a team because of one or more players in that team, and as soon as those players aren't in that team anymore, they stop supporting or liking the team and might start supporting the team where those players moved. The other type of fans are those who support a whole team, it might have to do with players, but mostly, it will be because the club is from where they live, and such fans won't care about specific players leaving the club or team and they will still support the same team.

For me, specifically, I have always been from the first category and I have liked clubs and teams where my favorite player was. I have always liked Cristiano Ronaldo, so I was very fond of every club he was a part of, and I loved watching those games and always wished the team where he was playing would win. However, of all the clubs he has been a part of, Real Madrid has been my favorite club, and I somehow still have a soft corner for that club even when he isn't there.

We should be a wise fan to our favorite team. We don't have to stay to support them if they can not learns from their mistake and can not improves their performance. They can not win against the other team if they don't want to learn more.

That is why we must smart to look the conditions and not place a betting to our favorite team if they don't have a chance to win against the opponent. We can bet for them when they can really win so we can also win the money.

Exactly, favourite teams can't always be winners every time, there will be bad seasons and there will be good seasons, having fun is different from trying to make money off sport bets. It will be stupid to place bet on your favourite team when you know that they aren't in good shape based on how they have been active in the season.

Some will say it is pure betrayer to place a bet on the opponent and not your favourite team, I think it is a nonsense and stupid talk, because you placing bet on your favourite team won't boost their skills in anyway, they don't even have a clue that you place a bet on them.
Sports fan can be funny at times, they are too in love with their favourite team and there is nothing bad here but when it comes to money things should be different, its called been wise.

The important thing on here is that you do bet up on a particular sport you do like and doesnt matter on what team as long you do seem that they do likely win up the game then this will be your choice
on which of course it will really be always the favorite but we do know that upsets do really happen. Doesnt matter whether you will be focusing into the team or a certain player, as long you do enjoy
on what you are doing and not really chasing up on making money then you are really just that doing fine.

Yes, any team doesn't matter because the important thing is the victory and who is strong then he will be chosen, rather than just waiting for the favorite tum who doesn't even get the match schedule, or they are weak enough to enter the next round.

I also don't impose too much on the bets that I will make, if it is the best team I will probably place my bet, but with the betting limit that I have determined.
Betting also needs planning and some research to provide satisfactory results, not just betting and seeing the results.

It's true that each individual is attracted to a football club for a reason, either because of the excellent performance of a player, coach or the entire team performance. Hence, most people are likely to leave a club when their favorite player moved to a different club during a transfer season. But when it comes to me, I have always been a strong Manchester City's fan right from day one due to their excellent performance, and hope to remain a strong Manchester City fan, weather they win or lose a game, because in a long run, I'm always rest assured of they playing an excellent game.

Those who fan a particular club simply because of a player in that club, and would immediately stop fanning that club when that player is sold off, and would go one to fan the club that bought that player over, such person or persons were never a fan of the club, but only a fan of that player, and would only fan clubs where that player plays for.

As for me, like I did mentioned in my previous comment here, I am a strong Arsenal fan, and I started fanning this club from when I was a teenager way back 2005/2006, back then, Arsenal was one of the worst football club, but that didn't deter me from liking them, since then, several players have passed through the club and gone their way, and it has been no leave, no transfer for me, and the mystery is, I can't tell why I like this club.

It's definitely not a good thing to bet on a losing team no matter what. Most time some gamblers just want to support their team I guess these are the set of gamblers that plays for fun. But those who want to make some profits will not fold their hands and act blindly even when their team is on the losing end. It's not bad to bet on another team or against your favorite when they are losing. So long you can make some profits, they still remain your favorite regardless. I still have my favorite team, even though most times they don't win.. but I won't be closing my eyes to place bets on them...

[Rockstarguy]

Even if your favorite team constantly loses or shows bad performance, you are still a fan and you are still hoping for them to gain back momentum and start winning again. If someone were to change the team they support based on the result, how fun will that be? Nothing will bring a sports fan more delight than seeing their favorite team climb their way up to the top.

It is only one who don not understand sport that will change his team whenever they are performing very poor. Sport is a game and you know what a game is all about, winning is not permanent and losing is not also permanent that is why real supporters will always stick to their team even if they are losing for a long time because they understand it is not permanent.

If people change team due to poor performance it means they will always change a new team because thst very team they choose to support will not win forever and the day they starts performing poor and start losing they will look for another new team to support.  As one who understands the game of sport, you would always remain in good times and tough times. Failure of team not winning at the moment should never be a reason to change to a new team.

There will be a bad seasons for every team because they will meet the strong and good opponents that can beat them. That is why we must take a look at the current situation and search for more info to see if our favorite team have the opportunity to win from many teams. If they don't have a big chance to win, we don't have to support them and leave it like that until they can have the chance to win. Placing a bet on the opponent is not a betrayer but that is because we can be wise with the current situation that is happen. We don't want to waste our money by pick the wrong team that can not bring us the win.

But we know what will they do with their favorite team and many of them still support their team even if they know that the chance to win is not too big. That will depends on their consideration to still support or leave their team so they must responsible with their decision.

Yes that makes sense. You can support your favourite team normally but bet
against them if you think they are going to be beaten.

I do this also with my favourite team only when its obvious they are going to be beaten


As per the OP's question, yes I have changed my favourite team. I follow Rugby
and grew up following the Leinster team in Ireland but after moving to the province
many years later I started following the Connacht team to be part of the support
group in the area. I still follow Leinster too though. and a tually any of the Irish
teams when they are playing in the different leagues
