What is the best way to learn about sports?

[Princess Leah]

~

When it comes to sports, what paves the way it’s the passion towards the game. There is a lot of sporting activities out there and a lot of blog sites where you can get information on them, following certain users on social media too, like Fabrizio on X, his been giving updates on transfers for the rest of the world. You’ve got websites like skysports.com, goal.com, ESPN and a good number of others.
If you haven’t got the passion for it, you still wouldn’t want to keep up with it. You’ve first got to fall in love with the game and then, the follow up wouldn’t be any challenging.

Exactly, I've been reading people giving their opinions say get this link, that link dropping links to different news on the media, well there's no doubt those won't, yes it will but the primary thing that someone who want to learn about sports in general should develop the passion for it then choose a particular area of concentration, it may be football, basketball, tennis or even more than one option, before getting informations about them.

 Now that's where those links, sports news tv channels, sports papers and the rest comes in but the first and most important thing is the passion for it, it's the passion that makes one wants to know more or get more informations about sports and keep up with it, for instance the passion I had for FC made me love football and gather informations about them thereby helping me to gather informations about other teams as well.

Your question is just like asking " what is the best way to learn how to cook".... You must first love cooking , and then know the general cookingpractices then pick a particular aspect of cooking you love the most  .
 Same goes with sport, love sport genrally.. thus you already have a favourite which is football, do research , join a fan club, watch football matches especially your club games, make more deep research, discuss with other fans and lot more(press conference and likes). As time goes on , you will develop more knowledge in it ..

This might be the best answer I have seen and it connects to my other replies in this thread. Love the sport. That's what we can do to minimize mistakes by using blind betting. If we know the sports that we are betting on, then I don't think there's much to worry about. We can make analysis easier as we have been updated with every thing that is happening around the sport that we love. I have been betting for the NBA and I can say I have been through a losing streak that I cannot take anymore. Sure, there will 2 or 3 days of losing some money like 2 wins out of 5 or 1 win out of 4 but still there will be a day when I can get 4/5 or 3/5. That's because it's easier to predict the results as I do love the sport.

One thing I have noticed is that everyone can give good information about football and post good quality, but I can't give good information or post good about football and different sports. What medium can I follow to get good information about football matches? If anyone can help me with this, it will be great for me because I am very interested in knowing about sports but I don't have a clear idea about how to know. Also, is there any good app from where I can watch live football games and unique popular games and share good information?

For you to follow up about football you must first develop love for football, then keep watching football this including live matches. You can only know about football when you keep following currently matches and I believe there are sites you could read about them. And for goals update you can also check https://www.livescore.com to follow up matches how they played.

In this generation it's very easy to know about almost anything on the internet, information and learning is a click away on your online device. Depending on your interest of sports you can ask Google any information and it'll give answers and links to further enlighten you. Football is arguably the most popular sport in the world and there are TV stations and sites that can enlighten and give you updates about current happenings and match fixtures. The link that DPHOR, shared is one of many sites that you can click for information. It's important to develop love and interest in a short to enjoy it and to know how to analyze matches in the case of placing bets.

To me I think everything depends on interest and love, passion for what anyone wants to learn at any given time provided their interest is not only focused and channels towards only winning or making profits then there are chances of them knowing it before they could start thinking about money and profit they could get from that stuff.

On a norm, some people usually indicate higher interest for rewards without them knowing what they are doing or how they could do their proper analysis to secure winning, even if we know that gambling is a game of chances and probability yet good analysis about football could at least draw us closer to winning even though not 60 percent at least 20-59.90 percent chances.

It should have been his love and interest just like @DPHOR  said above. Because with it, it comes naturally.
But if he really is up to know more about soccer, he should bet blindly first. Lets see what information comes to mind if he posts here why he chooses that team and why not the other.

I tend to do this on soccer myself although my whole family likes watching this sport, I don't. I tend to ask my nephew what his opinion to a match but eventually its my decision when I look at the odds.

I can't tell you anything about football because I don't have much idea about it but overall in learning about sports I got something to say:

You must be passionate about sports, which I believe comes from environment you grew up in, and then with passion, watching and keeping track of it comes naturally, which will result in knowledge and hereon you'll be able to take part in discussions with knowledge obtained.

Learning sports takes a lot of discipline and a lot of time, like you said it's something that deals with being passionate, it might be frustrating from the beginning but as time goes on you'd become more skillful and better with it. This isn't hard at all it just requires certain level of seriousness for as the gambler, the knowledge acquired helps a lot. Bettors who take advantage of it don't lose too much

A lot of people are interested in sports betting but not everyone is interested in learning about sports...some people don't value those little details they are just focused on winning their bet slip... gaining knowledge on sports doesn't just help you as a gambler but you become more fluent when it comes to discussions especially the ones involving football arguments. People who give out accurate informations are more experienced

[Hispo]

Honestly, I think one of the best ways to learn about a sport and eventually bet on it would be to get familiar to it through several stages: learning the rules of the sport, also learning about the history of the sport and finally get up to date with the most important happenings within the world of that sport by watching matches completely by yourself and give attention to commentators.
You can also use some applications to keep up to date or even watch videos of YouTube of summaries of those matches, but it would not be as effective for you to learn when compared to watching entire matches and see the plays of each one of the members of the rival teams.

Before betting it requires time and some effort to learn, but I believe it is worth it if you actually feel passion for a discipline and you get entertained at the same time.

Some people are not really sports enthusiasts but they are into sports-betting. Gaining knowledge can really be helpful especially if you do sports betting often but I'm curious how can a person that is not a sport-enthusiast learn deep about it? Soccer is not famous in our country so it never cross to my mind to learn about it.  Though I often see topics about it here and matches on sports-betting sites. I know the basics of the game but have no idea what team are strong and who is capable to proceed to finals.

You are absolutely right, giving ourselves to knowledge of sports helps us all round, I remember when I started wearing casino signatures on this forum newly, I wasn't a gambler back then, or let me say I wasn't an experienced h gambler most especially when it came to online.

I really struggled with participating in gambling discussions on this board and the gambling board as well, everything users were discussing that patterns to gambling seems completely alien to me, that was when I realized that if I must join the gambling discussions here and contribute meaningfully without spamming, then I need to start trying out online gambling and also betting on sports online to gain knowledge..

And long story short, today, I am happy because I've become fluent in this, I gave myself to this knowledge, not just betting but also giving interest to watching football matches and reading sports related news, all this has helped me to become more knowledgeable in this and I am happy.

You both are absolutely Right n the need to build knowledge about sport because with that knowledge we can easily win the bet since sport betting predictions is always made based on the well informed knowledge we gather Abu the team and game's, the availability of such info kept us a step ahead to predicting the right outcome of some football or other sports game's, so when we talk of sport betting, knowledge is the based line that determines a d separate winners and losers.

I’m afraid but I don’t quite agree with you on this, because I don’t believe that a gambler’s knowledge and skill can really influence the outcome of the game 100%. While it’s true that a gambler’s knowledge and strategy may potentially increase the gambler’s chances of success, it still doesn’t guarantee that the outcome of the game would be influenced positively. When a gambler is skilled, by skilled I mean knows the strategies to employ and also know when to employ them to improve their chances of winning but the actual success is determined by how lucky the player really is.

This proves that many gamblers lose more than they win because even making a smile analysis is difficult for them. Even if we say that luck is a big factor in gambling, when it comes to sports betting, having a good analysis will not just attract luck but create a path to winning. Of course, we never gained assurance, but at least we are in a position where we can expect a win as well.
This is difficult if you are not a fan of sports, but you urge yourself to bet on sports. It was not just gambling blindly but suicide.

This is applicable on luck based game such as casino games but on skill based game like sports betting I think @Odusko has a point here.

Having a good analysis skills can improve your chances of winning since you predict the outcome of the game by using data available on previous game.

Luck is needed in general on gambling but that doesn’t mean you can’t win without it on skill based game.

The internet would be your best friend, OP.

The internet has all the repository of information that you wish to learn. Anything that you would want to learn, you are one search away! If you have any questions regarding sports-betting and on how to execute it, then this forum will teach you everything you need to know by utilizing the search button located on the upper-right corner.

Again OP, almost anything could be learn on the internet. Also, I do suggest that you watch sports on YouTube, follow their respective Facebook pages, and join communities from across different social platforms.

Haha, this was me some years back. I had very little knowledge of football, and I just didn’t get why people found it interesting. I started showing interest in football during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The sudden interest was because I had a team I was supporting and seriously wished to win. Gradually, my interest grew bigger.

OP, if you want to learn about sports, start by enjoying sports. Watch the sport with friends, have a team you support, and follow them up. You might not know everything immediately, but this is just a good start.

You can also go further to study the sports analysis table to know the performances of some of the clubs or teams you find interesting. This will be a very easy thing to do if you actually enjoy watching sports.

Developing passion for football is the first step to familiarize oneself from every activity that concerns football because if the zeal is not there, you can just be watching live matches without understanding anything. Consistently watching live matches and also checking the statistics including the name of players, coaches and other football officials is the way to know more about football. Football games is one of the easiest sports to understand in the world because it doesn't require much technicality as other sports does, if you are very observant while watching live matches alone you can even be conversant with the rules of football. Instead of looking for apps to watch live matches that will include subscribing and using your data to watch, while not just subscribe through TV channels. Though the site you gave is also helpful since football updates and live matches are included.

It’s very important to have genuine interest in sports because if you don’t you’ll be among those who get bored by it or just force themselves to watch a game because they don’t want to be left out - and you won’t find sport discussions fascinating if you never had interest in it right from the onset.

So develop interest, and you can do that by first looking for a player that you like so much and then read about their club and country from there make sure to watch all their games after that you can start watching other games and start noting the names of players, their roles and if you are the curious type you can go as far as research about their history, where they were playing before they moved to their current club - things like this will improve your knowledge in sport drastically and you’ll have good data to back up your arguments in discussions if you are ever faced with one.

Well I have seen quite some people that says you don't need to watch the sport to understand it
But I will have to disagree.
The knowledge you can gain from watching a match is different what you can gather online.
It's primary, directly from the source and you can see players live reactions rather than numbers.
In football, when you continuously watch a team play
It would be easier to gauge their performance against another you have watched played.
To learn better, like the sport and be a fan.

There are so many ways to learn about sports you know and one medium to give that ease access of understanding is having passion for sports be ot football or any other sports of your choice.

You know you can't learn by mere tutorials you need a practical for it to see how everything works that's how it's applicable to football, your Passion you get knowledge by gathering information and watching live matches this will go a long way.
