What is the best way to learn about sports?

[rachael9385]

Try focusing on one sport while studying the league, preferably a game you're already familiar with. The best way to learn is by watching YouTube videos, but they mostly cover the basics which is good for beginners.

If you want expert picks, it's best to check out betting forums. Actually, we have one here, just look around, you’ll find it on the same board.

You can also explore sites outside the forum, like SBR, Pregame.com, and Covers... they're great sources for betting insights.

For streaming. subscribe for a paid one.. like NBA leauge pass if you are into basketball.

If you focus more one particular sport there's a high chance that overtime you will get better at it especially when you study a few leagues in the sports of your choice. Studying a particular League makes you more knowledgeable about how they perform. Watching YouTube videos isn't a bad idea but you must also learn to discover things for yourself, remember that those YouTubers would say anything to get views and likes on their page.

You are right, @rachael9385, learning about sports and betting is not too difficult, as long as someone pays a close attention to any sport they are interested on, within just a week or two, they can even learn from many pieces of information from the internet because that has made learning anything super easy and fast. If the person is also watching the sports activity performances and highlights on TV, it will still contribute to more knowledge for them.

Being attentive and focused on what you want is the only way to be knowledgeable of things which you don't know very fast. Learning about sport isn't hard actually but learning will just increase your chances of winning, although it isn't guarantee of always giving you win because every odds is against the gambler that's why gamblers need luck to win their bets.

We can learn about sport in different ways, because advanced technology has made it easier to with the use of Internet to learn whatsoever thing we need to know and learn about a desired sport.

There are different means to use in learning about sports, one of which is the Internet, gambling platforms, forum like this and individuals that have been experienced enough about sports in their varieties to learn from.

Sources are almost infinite, but the key IMO is to be passionate about them, much more than the sources available. That's the best way to learn: learning about something you truly enjoy.

Even if you are a methodic person and decide to learn about sports, if you don't like them so much, other people even less skilled than you will outperform you. So, many people, instead of thinking about the best way (meaning sources) to learn, should think about how passionately would they do it.

I second your opinion. Without genuine interest there is no way anyone can learn about sports! And that's a straight fact! As for me, I have no idea about basketball or American soccer, it never attracted me, so I never tried to learn about it. I am mostly into cricket and if anyone asks me about it I could probably do a lot better than other sports! So yeah, like you said, sources are infinite but you have to love it first!

Same goes for me. I actually did well betting on eurovision betting, and i think that being a musician played a part in that. It however is matter of taste as much it's about technique, performance and how the songs are build. And then there are voting campaigns for political reasons, which are totally ruining it. Last time i counted them to my betting and got good results, but i just don't like it.

I've been trying to find a sport that i would have most passion for, and at the moment it's UFC. That's the field i know most about because of my past, but not enough that i would have followed it closely. So what i am doing now is research and watching some matches when i have time, so i would get better understanding about the participants.

I have given up gambling on anything i don't follow or understand. Even if i would get pretty good guesses from AI or tips from someone. I don't really see the point of that. I might as well play roulette to get same feeling.

Nowadays, it’s hard to find time for other activities when you’re focused on work and also have hobbies and interests outside of your job. In addition to sports, it’s important to have other hobbies, and all of this plus family, will take up almost all of your time. So finding extra time to properly learn a new sport might be too much of a luxury for a busy person. That’s why you should only bet on the sport you already understand well.

And I’d also advise this, don’t rush to place a bet if you don’t have time to properly study the event and carefully analyze it. It’s better to skip the bet altogether, because chances are it will be a losing one.

You're right, in fact when I focus on football it's something impressive because apart from the fact that I like it a lot I look for even the smallest detail, but the truth is it's not because of the betting , it's because I really like it, and my wife tells me that I'm going to become addicted to it that I forget to do other things, so sometimes you shouldn't focus on it and make time for it , but There's nothing more beautiful than watching football, working, if you have it then having a beer Watching it in a big way, that's phenomenal, who has done it ? This without the need to bet , now betting then the Adrenaline is Greater.

gambling games that depend exclusively on luck to win, such as lotteries, roulette games or slots games, the person does not need great knowledge to play, nor is there any strategy to play, so anyone can play without needing any kind of research. Now when it comes to sports betting, then it is necessary that people only place bets on sports that they know very well and like

It makes no sense for someone who doesn't like tennis and has never watched a tennis game to place bets on tennis games. This person's chances of winning are very low and consequently, this person will constantly lose money, although there is no guarantee that they will consequently win in the sport that they know very well.

In my opinion, it is best to learn about sports from several sources, and ideally from many sources, which gives a unique opportunity to compare information with each other and thus clarify various elements of information. But there may be several different goals here. First, to make a high-quality forecast for yourself on the outcome of a sports match or series of matches, and, second, to create an information product in the form of a forecast or review of upcoming matches for others. Both options are difficult. First of all, it is difficult to create an effective forecast that will be worked out in most cases. By the way, according to one of the criteria, a good analyst differs from a bad one in that he can use additional information to improve the forecast.

[Smartprofit]

We live in a world where publicly available sources of information about each sport (for example, football) are able to provide us with more different analytical information than our brain and consciousness can perceive.

YouTube, Twitter, Discord, Telegram, various specialized sites, neural networks - from them we can get a huge amount of information on all issues of interest to us. At the same time, we can receive information in a variety of forms - in the form of texts, videos or audio (and a combination of these three types of information forms can speed up the process of processing and assimilating information about sports).

But in my opinion, you need to start with watching sports matches. As you watch matches, you will have new questions, the answers to which you can find on the Internet.

[Tipstar]

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?

Interest in sports or games comes at an early age. The sports you engage yourself in or grow up watching would be dearer to you and the rules and game mechanics know to you without any effort. For most of the world, football is one of the easiest and cheapest thing to play between multiple people. The rules are fairly simple, the game fast paced and the requirements are low that makes it most popular sports in the world. Most of the people loves football and considers it their favorite sports.
There are other games that you watch, even though they might not be as easy to setup to play with your friends, you could get interest in it from young age.

The quickest way to learn about a sport is watching it. Football is simple, and if you watch for a few hours, you'll get the basics. There are bunch of players trying to score goal in opposite post. The next step are freekicks, throw ins, corners and offsides, VAR is there to assist the referee decisions. Just watch some exciting top level club games or for better experience, start watching form a world cup and within a month, you'll know everything football is.
Other sports are similar too, I learned Tennis, Basketball and other sports just watching on TV.

For live football scores, news and standings, I currently have an app called fotmob. They are pretty good according to my need.

The first thing to do is actually find a sport that interests you. Without interest in sports, if you just watch and force yourself to understand the game, all you get is boredom.

Watching the game live can indeed increase our interest in sports. especially when the environment is also quite fun for those of us who have just joined. Actually sports will be related to a person's hobby. But these hobbies can be created based on activities that are done routinely.

Actually, I think the same about sports, in the sense that you still need a good dose of luck.
A minimum of knowledge about the history of a championship and the teams you follow (an example if we talk about football)
but in any case from my banal experience, I have played "impossible" matches and won them only with luck.
Let's say that even though I follow football I don't study the outcome of a match in detail, it's true that there are probabilities, but you will never be
certain. In gambling, contrary to what some say, there is no "right technique", it can go well for you
as it can go badly for you. The only correct technique is to play consciously.

[rachael9385]

To do that find a football team of your choice become a good fan, follow there matches know all there players. There history is also important so you can say something about them when you are with your friends . Engaging in arguments with friends about your football clubs also will make you know more. Note while arguing, argue to learn and not to win in the argument. When doing so be open to know more about other football clubs and players apart from the once in the club you are supporting

One key thing you mentioned here is the argument although I wouldn't really put it that way because having an argument and a conversation can be very distinct. Some people argue without even being factual and at the end of the day they end up not gaining knowledge. Having a reasonable conversation can be impactful, you can be more informed and knowledgeable

Theirs is some argument that is educative and they is some of the argument that is not educative, not all argument that someone can learn something new  or not, so I believe that anyone that wants to learn will learn, the thing is that we will say now that will be impressing is that we need to pay attention in some vital argument especially when we are arguing people we know that have a superior knowledge than us, but when you are arguing with that is of same standard in reasoning and thinking you will not understand anything from the argument.

There might have a lot of arguments I'm this case it is not possible to analyze which are correct and which are not and among them which should follow and which should not. But it might be better if anyone watch tutorial or read blog about gambling. I think in this process they will learn about gambling.

Absolutely. If there’s no genuine interest, it’s extremely difficult to learn anything. And that interest shouldn’t just be instrumental — it should also be intrinsic. What do I mean by that? Many players want to understand sports in order to place successful bets, since sports betting is considered a safer and more reliable option compared to casino games. But at the same time, they may have zero actual interest in sports itself. They struggle to analyze patterns, and their betting performance suffers because of it.

Without real engagement in the sport — without developing an interest in it as something meaningful in itself, not just as a way to win bets — it simply won’t work. In such cases, it’s better to shift your focus to something else.

This is the right approach, before I started betting, I was passionate about football, I used to go to matches, follow many leagues and analyze games, and I did all of that without betting. So you are right that before you start betting on anything, you should first be genuinely interested in it. Because if it excites you, then you will treat it as a hobby and you will understand the teams you want to bet on.

The reason for that statement of mine was that, those who are around me, those who I know personally, my friends, basically anyone close to me and is a sports fan, I have seen that the majority of them are involved with gambling. And not just any random casino games but specifically sports betting. They are always making bets despite the loses, and why does they do it? Are they mentally unstable? Noo! They just love the sports so much (die hard fan) that they are always betting on their favoutite teams & players. They don't even visit the non sports sections. This gave me the impression that if one isn't genuinely interested then it isn't theie cup of tea..

In the current era, there are always various updates about sports. Now people are not busy with television or PC, but now people are added to different channels or different groups and chat with friends to know the latest news about sports. I discuss various sports topics with my friends while chatting in the cafeteria. From there, we learn a lot by discussing sports scores, teams, venues, and team wins and losses. Moreover, we constantly get sports updates through mini apps on our mobile phones.

Do you mean American football or do you mean soccer? It's better to use Soccer instead of Football if you talk about it and not about American sports, because it's confusing.
I assume that you talk about Soccer. If you want to be updated about transfers, follow Fabrizio Romano on Twitter or on any platform where he is. For news, I often visit goal.com but I mostly visit local websites for news. If you want to check statistics of previous matches of soccer teams, then you can visit betexplorer.com and soccerstats.com

Being attentive and focused on what you want is the only way to be knowledgeable of things which you don't know very fast. Learning about sport isn't hard actually but learning will just increase your chances of winning, although it isn't guarantee of always giving youYes, n because every odds is against the gambler that's why gamblers need luck to win their bets.

Learning assist the person to know the right things to do to avoid unnecessary losses, because when someone doesn't learn how to come up with possible predictions, they are fully dependent on luck and sports betting is not just based on luck but also by skill, which is the knowledge to carry out analysis with past matches and performance of the team. Some people are just gambling randomly to become lucky and even on the games that they would have prevented losses, they didn't try because they don't know how to.
