Is sports betting a effective way to involved people in sports?

~ Also yeah, I’ve become a fan of some players like Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer.
So yes, sports betting can be one of the reasons why people get involved in sports I'm one of them..

But watching sports and being really involved ain't the same thing, don't you think? I think, although not completely impossible, the probability of someone getting really involved in sports through gambling is low. I wouldn't say that's a bad thing, though. The main purpose of gambling is entertainment, and if it serves its purpose that's enough. You shouldn't necessarily become gladiator after watching the film of the same name.

What does “entertainment” really mean to you, losing money? Because when we say entertainment, it usually means something we pay for to enjoy, like watching a movie or going to a concert. So in that sense, it’s an expense.

But in gambling, there’s actually a way to win, the problem is, when we treat it purely as entertainment, we’re basically accepting that we’ll just stay at that level.. have fun, lose some money, and move on. We won’t reach the point where we become profitable bettors like the ones who treat it seriously.

You can actually be entertained while making money at the same time, it just depends on the type of gambling you’re into. But one thing we can’t deny is the reality that most gamblers lose in the long run. That’s simple logic, and that’s exactly what keeps the casino and sports betting industry alive and successful.

Most people will lose, that's an undeniable truth everyone knows, but every player thinks they're smarter and wants to be the one with the most luck. In the thread's discussion, I'll answer that if someone came to betting simply as entertainment and wasn't interested in watching sports before, then after they quit gambling, they'll likely stop watching sports matches, because betting was what drew them to it in the first place.

But the thing is, if people take it too seriously they end up getting too frustrated and desperate. Instead of working to provide for their family they depend on gambling which is not a guarantee money maker. Even if you try your best, it is simply not consistent enough to provide for your family's needs. When a gambler is frustrated, he might make emotional decisions and end up causing more harm than good.

That makes sense. For me, it’s the love of sports that brought me into sports betting, so even if I run out of money, I’d still love the games themselves. But I don’t think I’d reach that point anymore now that I’m more mature. With so many platforms offering very affordable minimum bets, I’ll probably keep betting for a while. I don’t see myself losing the love for betting anytime soon.

However, do you agree that it can also lead to gambling problems later on in life as we're going to bet on the sports that we follow. Like small bets in the beginning and then later on we become so addicted to it?

No, I don't agree. You could love sports like football and not being a gambler who bets on the games but just love watches the matches when your favourite teams play. There are many people I have known that don't know how to play football, never played before, but just love watching the games, some of them are even religious leaders in their respective communities and they don't bet they just enjoy the thrills and excitement the game gives

Being a gambler is a section, if you are someone that love football for instance, it is now your decision to decide whether to bet or not and I don't agree that what you said may lead anyone to any gambling problem, op first and foremost you should have known that gambling problem which is addiction is a habit we cultivate as gamblers through irresponsible gambling where we are unable to control how we gamble, some gamblers start by having the wrong mindset on how to follow gambling and they end up by being trapped in the process, if we bet on the sports we follow as you said I think their won't be any problem as long as we follow thinga they way it should be, it only becomes a problem when we deviate.

You are right, I also know most people that love watching different sports game but they have never for a day placed a bet or even had the desire to do so. Many of my close relatives that likes watching football, they always ask me "what is my real gains in betting" because they see betting as wasting of money, I always tell them that it's for fun and winning money too, but they don't share that same believe with me.

Is sports betting a effective way to involved people in sports? Or it is just part of the many ways on how people will eventually be falling into gambling?

It is not that a gambler will become addicted to gambling by betting on sports, they can also do it for the enjoyment of the game. While many people take up sports betting for entertainment, there are also many who try to create a source of income through it. How a gambler uses himself is entirely up to him. I think if someone enjoys sports, sports betting will be more exciting for him. It will give him temporary pleasure. But if he crosses his limitations, he will suffer.

We as sports fans, maybe we all started as a kid, maybe dream of playing in big league in soccer. However, not everyone can be in sports so the next big thing is become a fan of it and follow it will all our hearts in emotions.

I have never felt that sports gambling has made people more interested in sports or connected to them. In fact, I have seen many people around me who have never played cricket or football in their lives but have a lot of knowledge about cricket and football and this is only because they have bet on sports.

In fact, we have to keep sports betting within the gambling sector, just as it is different from those who are physically connected to sports or who regularly play sports.

The sports fans are more than the gamblers but many gamblers were fans of sports and they predicted verbally with friends, arguing with friends and they bet on physical argument and won the argument so with that they would want to test their luck in real life gambling in online and if they had the luck, they probably won the first game and from their gambling begins. Watching sport games have lead many not the gambling world with no retur.  

[romero121]

When we watch our favorite team or home country playing, automatically we get connected to it emotionally. This means we'll have the feeling of winning whenever the team supported by us takes a lead. This is the part of the sports fans. They don't get much into gambling activities, because their minds never intend to make a bet against their favorite teams. So, the real fans never bother about gambling and never move towards addiction.

Gambling is done by the sports followers who want more excitement out of the event. Here they watch the match and, parallel to it, make bets. Sometimes a bet wins, and sometimes it'll be a loss. These people love the adrenaline pump when the odds vary throughout the match. Some of these people move into addiction when they keep on losing the bets.

I don't think so, because at first glance I don't think sports betting has anything to do with involving people in sports. This is no different from what is written in the second paragraph, that I started playing sports when I was a child and became a fan. I'm not alone, many of my friends are too. My friends at this age don't bet even though they are well-known as sports players and actively watch sports.

Not all sport lovers are gamblers and not all gamblers are sports lovers while there are also those whom gambles and are sport lovers.

It is a personal choice which I think sports is an event that existed formally without involving betting While today's bets has become an added innovation to spike the entertainment.
Of course sports can be a livelihood activities while gambling could be habit.

It cannot be said that everyone will like sports, but there are many who did not like sports in the beginning but later became attracted to betting and started liking sports betting. Although no betting site directly attracts any person to gambling, those who enjoy sports very quickly become interested in sports and everything depends on this interest, I do not think that sports betting or any gambling platform has any direct effect on this issue.

I don't think so mate, I have seen some people who love sport but they are not into gamble. At the film hall were I normally watch live soccer games if I want to interact with people while the game is ongoing, there are some folks who don't gamble but they live sport games with their hearts, those set of people even become emotional when their teams lose the game. But almost everyone I have seen around who gamble loved sport (soccer), some of them can't even play football but when you see them they always argue like they know everything on football and the same way they argue about football bthe same way they gamble.

[suzanne5223]

I believe the model for getting involved in sports depends on personal understanding of the game and want.
For some people, their way of getting involved in sports games is through gambling on the team they love so much. But, for the addiction, getting involved with gambling is not what leads to addiction. It is the gambler's greed and lack of buzz control that lead to addiction, but the gambling only exposed the area the gambler needs to work on.

If we take your time playing sports, then we have to bet within our own control. Also, if we lose a bet, we can easily tolerate it. If we bet an excessive amount, then it will be very difficult to tolerate it and we may become desperate to recover the money lost. So, we have to bet according to our ability.

I was like this before. I’m a casual fan of sports before until I become involved on sports betting that makes me focus on analysis of different teams for the sake of my bets winning chance rate.

Later on, the more I become involved on sports betting analysis the more I become attached to the team I’m betting that makes me a fan already.

Right now, I’m happy following the team I’m betting because I enjoy watching them now with or without bets.
