sports you do not enjoy

[Awaklara]

what about you?

I will never bet on a sport I don't like again, even if I don't know the strength of the fighter, I won't bother to make a bet.
It's just that I've tried it on UFC betting. I don't have much experience and knowledge about fighters, just a few. Sometimes with small bets just betting and speculating based on the Odds offered by the bookmaker. Of course, I didn't really expect from the bet. That was my mistake.

[Ziskinberg]

That's something I could do but it has to be on sports I've a bit knowledge of. I know next to nothing about dog or horse racing. I don't see myself placing bets on any of them even though they all seem like the regular track event athletes perform. However, if someone who's vast in such sports holds my hand and  assures me of winning a bet on it; why not?

When I was a kid, I really loved horse racing, we used to bet on a machine, but it was just a computer game, so it didn’t take much effort to understand the game. Real horse racing though is a whole different thing, and  even though it was my favorite game back then, with so many options now, I think it’s better to focus on just a few to have a decent chance of winning and I can't choose horse racing for that matter since my favorite is basketball, particularly NBA. Personally, I’ve never seen live horse racing, and since it’s no longer popular in my country, my interest in it has kind of faded over time.

I enjoy all the sports, football, wrestling, basketball, tennis, etc but I watch only the interesting games and not all the games are interesting. Sport games are for fun and you are watching and the game is interested then you will be in happy mood and forgetting many sorrows at the moment. But I like to play gamble with football game more than other  sports.
And I play slot games as well. Gambling is depends on the games that you win most. Everyone has their criteria for Playing gamble. From what we have read here and outside here, some gamble for fun while some gamble for profit and I also believe those who are gambling goe profit are more than those who are gambling for fun. Fun comes with regular winning.

personally i can't imagine having to sit and watch and analyze countless of matches of a sport i do not enjoy watching just to bet on them

what about you?

This is a controversial issue, but I think that for betting there is no need to watch the games at all. You only need statistics and odds on the outcomes. Even for live betting you only need to follow the numbers and not the game. I don't think that watching the game will give you more information than the bookmaker gets, for whom several specialists watch the game at once, so there is no point in looking for profit here.

[mirakal]

Generally, gamblers have their own preferences when it comes to gambling. Some may focus on their favorites, games or players, while others just feel they're okay betting regardless of the game as long as it's a promising one. Once money is involved, any gambler can bet even in unfamiliar game, the fact that it's not skill-based but luck and chances. And there are those who just bet on their not so favorite games, but when they see higher probability of winning, they eventually consider it as their new favorite.

Usually so, but maybe because there will be a separate explanation when we watch the sport that we are betting on. So that will give its own situation, there will be a feeling of nervousness and mixed feelings when it is going on. Although previously we must have done an analysis in advance about which results will occur.

And here, I only like football, that's why I only bet on this sport. Not for others, because even if we don't understand others and we place bets, then it will be higher risk than betting on sports that we understand and especially like.

It's not even about the mistakes for some of them but the drive or the need to want to be right and probably want to recover their lost funds makes them want to do more than they wold and some gradually develop the tendencies of addiction unknowingly.  I hope they tick to their niche just as you have advised.

eh brother, you're right, there are people who get too carried away with this stuff and then get lost along the way

better to hold on and not get too caught up in the fever of easy money
better to go slow but safe, as they say here, of course anyone can decide by himself

This is exactly "the fever of easy money" - this is a psychological phenomenon that is very easily, almost like a virus, transmitted from person to person, that is, a gambler.
But it is far from being so quick and easy to completely cure this phenomenon.
Also, when listening to stories of different happy players who easily earned money in the game, you should always remember about such a property of the storyteller as exaggeration of their merits, luck and happy circumstances and hushing up any negative events or episodes.
As a result, the effect of such agitation naturally increases.
Well, and then self-hypnosis is also turned on that you, definitely only you, will definitely be lucky at some stage of the game and you will suddenly become a millionaire and a rich person for life.
However, for some reason such a moment in your life never comes, although you have already begun to lose even more than you won.

[l3pox]

I can't and won't bet on a sport that I have no knowledge of and that's what most do too but there could be many incidents when people just pick a random game and wanted to try their luck, seems logical though.

In case if there's an event that made a game popular, let's say people who don't have any knowledge of boxing might be influenced to bet on the game between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul so yeah it's possible people do but not always.

even if you don't know the sport some games are quite obvious even if you are not following it closely
let's say the first of a championship plays with the worst one, chances are the winner will pay 15 or 20% for an easy bet that you have really small chance to lose
some people could make this the base of their strategy

if it's 20% and they lose 1 every 7 bets they would still be profitable

I totally agree with you. I have an acquaintance who bets preferably on favorites. He has no interest at all in watching sports matches and fan vibe. His whole strategy is based on dry statistics and probabilities. Of course he loses money like many other bettors, but he considers it as a cost of the process. Whether he earns and how much for me remains a mystery, because we are not very close, and he does not like to discuss personal finances as in principle most people.

[hedgeh0g]

I think that we should only bet on those that we like, and if we start betting on absolutely different ones, it will definitely not help us increase our winnings. Of course, this can happen completely by accident, and we should not believe that this will happen all the time. Some players will believe that they are gods of luck, and will only bet on a new sport that they do not understand anything about, this makes me laugh, because in this case it is better to go and bet on roulette or another similar gambling game.

[ChiBitCTy]

Yeah this is a dangerous avenue.  Like yourself I can't watch sports I don't enjoy just so that I could put down some action and try and make some money.  Honestly you're probably better of playing roulette than making bets on sports that you aren't in to.  I bet against my own favorite teams ALL the time.  Why, because I know them better than any other teams in the league and so being so in tune with them, gives me a big upside advantage.  So of course my point is a stay away from this.  I mean a few sats no big deal at all, just don't put down a large % that you'd hate yourself for losing, if you did.

[shasan]

i am a sports fan before i am a gambler i watch sports and i bet on my predictions to amplify the entertainment and enjoyment i get from that sports i could not bet while watching a sport but it is always much more fun to look forward to the results knowing especially that you might win in the end so if your favorite team wins you are happy as a fan but you can be happier if you also win some money from betting on them

this leads me to thinking whether do people bet on sports they do not enjoy or are not a fan of? maybe there are people out there who are just really in for the money and they would bet on sports that are popular and they have a bigger chance on winning at even if they do not particularly enjoy them

personally i can't imagine having to sit and watch and analyze countless of matches of a sport i do not enjoy watching just to bet on them

what about you?

The game for enjoyment and the game for gambling are different. If you need pleasure then you have to watch only those matches which you can enjoy and which are your favorite. Usually which is our favorite we watch them and others not. But if it is gambling then there is no other way except watching all the matching which we want to place a bet.

[tusandii]

There are some gamblers who like sports like football but he likes everything related to football but he also has 1 club that he really likes that doesn't mean he only watches his favorite club he also watches various matches because he really likes football, well in that pleasure he involves betting to make challenges and also opportunities to get more money he analyzes every match so it's not just betting on his favorite club and in my opinion many also do this because they really enjoy it not just watching matches without any challenges.

Personally, I think the sport that is at the bottom of my list is golf, speaking only as an observer, because watching it is different from playing it. I also don't like gymnastics or fishing sports; those three are probably the ones I find most boring to watch.

On the contrary, I really like soccer, maybe because I practiced it for many years from childhood until my teenage years.

Good observation.
And I agree that the attractiveness of different sports has a very strong gradation. In my opinion, football really cannot lose to any sport in terms of spectacularity and distribution in the world and in terms of the excitement and euphoria that football matches bring to millions of fans around the world. And many sports that are interesting only to a limited circle of athletes themselves and are not at all spectacular certainly cannot compare with football.
Well, it is probably also worth remembering hockey and cricket, but they are of course super popular, but are usually distributed only in certain regions of the world.

Usually people who don't like a sport is because they don't know how to play or thinks that is boring to watch. That is normal to see that happen to many people. I also don't like golf because I don't know how to play it and not watch the events. Besides that, maybe the other reason why someone not like with that sport is because not many people around them discuss or watch the match so they can not share many things about the sport. But if they know the same sport, they can talk many things and share what their opinion to other people.

Sports gambling requires some information before placing a bet, it is not the same as playing slots, so gamble on sports betting that we like to get enjoyment and good results.

I'm not sure about this statement, users can place a bet without any information, they only need to open the casino, go to the sports section and make a desition, the only information that we need to place a bet is the odds, it's important to know what profit are we expecting from that bet, and as we know, in sports, while bigger is the multiplier lower is the chance to win.

I have placed bets and parlays in the past without knowing anything about the teams or the match that I'm betting on. I just follow the odds.

I know many people who have bet on the fastest sports, such as table tennis. Because when a person has excitement in his eyes, he wants to get the outcome of the match and find out the fate of his bet as soon as possible. Therefore, many bettors stop betting on sports that they know very well and go to bet where they can get a result faster. Of course, this is not a normal perception of the game, but an attempt to win back faster or win more, but in reality this is not effective.

It might be a good strategy but how do I know this team is the strongest when I have zero knowledge of that sport, it is kind of wild swing when we simply take the risk based on the odds aka strong/weak opponent. But the rewards for the most obvious one will be much lesser than 15% as far as I have seen so are we ready to take the risk of losing 10 games profits/rewards for 1 game that we don't know at all and finally what's the fun part in it.
