A worries of sport fans who don't gamble

[Agbamoni]

I read this somewhere online and it seems some people are worried about it.

What is there to worry about? Any sports that dont like gambling should focus mainly on watching sports games. While those that are comfortable with gambling will stick to it. I dont expect everyone to be happy that sports games and gambling are actually working hand in hand.

And the fact still remains that majority of persons became more interested in sports game because of gambling and majority where also influenced into gambling because of the passion for sports. This is how life in the world of sports is and if a particular set of people are not comfortable with it, they should leave the system for good.

There are sports fans who initially don't like gambling as a whole and thats the limits to ther entertainment, and it's nothing to worry about besides people fit in for things they are comfortable with, if gambling isn't for them it's fine by the way, I used to visit my uncle who's a lover of sports and never misses watching whenever his favourite fans are playing, so I asked him one certain time if he gambles he said what for?? That what good does it add to him and that he's fine with the  fun he gets from watching matches and other sports.

I don't believe in this despite some arguing that betting ruins the integrity of sporting enjoyment - I think everyone is happy with it.

While we know that sports is everyone's business, especially casinos who want to promote it through that they can bet while enjoying the game, while for them to say that it destroys the integrity is probably just a personal assumption.

So for me it's nothing to worry about.

[Mate2237]

We can't remove gambling were we have found ourselves now.gambing has become part of the sport so we can't totally remove gambling from sport again. What you should know is that sport is now even more fun and more interesting now that there's a rise in gambling activities.because out put their mind were their money is. Again what you should know is that when it comes to sports betting is that it's a way of giving back to the fans for all their support and contributions to the sport. Because sport fans will travel with their teams some will also buy tickets just to watch their teams perform.



So I don't see any wrong with sports and gambling, gambling is not a force ano no body is forcing gambling on anyone. So anyone not gambling should not be too worried about gambling because there is nothing wrong about gambling.

This could be something to worry about?

Does anyone believe that the ubiquity of betting is harming the integrity and enjoyment of sports rather than maintaining them?

The problem isn't that sports will seize to exist without gambling and betting but that the over commercial and the behaviour harms associated with widespread betting may degrade the experience for fans.

I read this somewhere online and it seems some people are worried about it.

I see the opposite around here, meaning that more people and sport fans are getting more involved in gambling by time. Just looking at the growth of sporsbetting and the amount of sportsbooks launched every day, you will understand that the market is growing.
Probably after years we will see a small downgrade, but it won’t be harmful, because by that time, we will have enough marketcap going to keep the teams, players, and the whole sport well funded.

At the moment, even if the amount of fans who are gambling won’t grow, which is very unlikely to happen. This will be enough for the whole market and sports to keep going because many sponsors are not just casinos or sportsbook.

I don't believe that. In fact, I look at it quite the opposite way: betting has even pushed more people into sport than sport has pushed more people into gambling.

I don't see how betting has ruined the fun we have in sport or even its integrity. Even as there are rumours of fixed matches and rigged games, that does not still take away the fun we have in sport.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

For me, there's nothing like that, betting is not causing sports to lose its integrity and the enjoyment it creates for people. If there was no sports, would there not have been betting and gambling activity? Gambling didn't start today and addiction didn't also start today, it dates back to when gambling started, I know the reason why some people are feeling the way you have said is because of the negative side of gambling but we also knows that it not a general problem for everyone, some player are addicted and some are not, so it's the decision of every gambler to be responsible or not.

[joniboini]

I guess my biggest worry is related to fixed matches. If the organizer can provide a reliable way to prevent that, be transparent about the process, and so on, maybe the negative effect won't be as apparent relative to when they don't do them. That sounds too much to ask, though, considering how terrible some of them are at doing their job right now. I think the bigger problem is about those organizers' integrity, which is a problem whether we have gambling ads or not.

Sports and gambling exists independently, even before gambling became popular people have been watching sports games, sports can be enjoyed without betting. But we can say that betting makes sports more enjoyable for sports fans but there are people that say it taka the fun out of it because people tend to focus more on making money and getting addicted to betting than focusing on enjoying the game

Regardless of sports betting, gambling Wil always be around and that is the one thing I will like you to take note of, gambling have been around and sports betting is just getting included in gambling platforms because in the past it wasn't so, so we can't separate the two but we can advocate for people to play within their limits.

Which one? Worrying that gambling will degrade the experience of sports fans?  Does sports betting interfere during gameplay?  I bet no, the match still give the same intense experience whether the audience is involved in sports-betting or not.

Betting is not maintaining any sports; gambling and sports are separate entity and is independent from each other, but it is a good thing that they can go hand in hand to produce a synergize effect of entertainment.

This is not the problem of sports since they operate outside the gambling industry.

It is normal, people who do not understand how sports and gambling work, or wanted to show their wits, often have delusions where they can raise a concern even in a non-problematic scenario

Gambling and betting is what brings excitement to the game and that generates tension that drives the passion for a certain score like during a match. There is always excitement during a match and that brings about unity as well.

It is only natural for true sports lover to separate emotions from gambling during a game.

The only disadvantage is the problem of emotional damage it brings to gamblers after a loss but that does not affect the excitement of the game.

People betting on outcomes has little effect on the "integrity" of the game as you put it. One thing that often comes up however it they are just the latest big spenders, always trying to push the limits, in sports and help prop up the tremendous salaries clubs use to afford the most expensive players. It was alcohol and tobacco long ago that fills similar roles until they were banned from prime position advertising. Eventually there will be greater restrictions and we are starting to see crackdowns in specific leagues / sports. The Premier League have implemented a main sponsor ban on shirts I believe which is already in place in coming in the next season or two. Beyond that I cannot see it really affecting the game.

I read this somewhere online and it seems some people are worried about it.

It is simple, they should not be betting and also they should be advising everyone around them not to be betting. Just know that as people will like something, some people will not like the thing, that is how betting will be. Nobody is forcing anyone to bet. They should just be on their own lane and not bet but I will prefer to stake small amount of money on some matches.

Of course if they are not confortable with it they have to let it go, you're right those that don't like gambling don't give advice about gamble responsibly rather they're going to ask you to stop once and for all which the advice of stoping once and for all May not be helpful to some gamblers because they're still having fun with it. I could imagine the feeling when I'm not familiar with something or maybe I don't like participating in such activity whenever I see people around me going into such activity I usually ask them to be very careful or better still they can stop participating in that activity but not a command just a kind of advice.

How is that going to be harmful? People are betting almost everything when there are two teams or fighters competing, expect people to bet on who's going to win, it's time immemorial and part of human behaviour, I can't think of any sport where you cannot bet, it makes the sports exciting and interesting.

I read this somewhere online and it seems some people are worried about it.

You should have posted the link to the article or topic here so we can explore more of the concern. I don't find it offensive; some fans will bet, and some fans will just watch the game to enjoy, so everybody benefits here.

[Z-tight]

I do not know where you read about this, or those who are worried, but it is bullshit. If you do not like gambling or do not want to gamble, then don't. Do not register an account in a casino nor deposit money into any casino.

However, those who enjoy gambling should be allowed to do what they enjoy. The government already regulate gambling platforms and casinos are licensed, so everything is under the law. So many sport teams have billion dollar partnerships deals with gambling platforms and you are talking about something like this, lol.

It's long been this way, and the system has been a success for many years and will continue to be so. I don't know in what way sports can be degraded when there is betting involved; sports organisations and commissions are already addressing this concern to protect the sports betting industry.

I just wonder what it will look like without betting in sports; it will look boring for many, as betting is something natural for us, we bet on almost everything, even things that are not related to sports. Betting on sports will continue to exist as this is already an industry, a huge industry.

We can say from this perspective that the number of gambling sites is increasing day by day with the help of the internet and their uncontrolled advertising is showing that even minor children are getting involved in gambling. If we review these issues, then we must say that in the present era, the bad sides of gambling are increasing in our society instead of entertainment.

But in terms of other things, if we think generally, when it comes to gambling, we don't consider what our emotions want or what will happen if we do something. Everything here depends on luck, and winning and losing are also part of the game. I don't think the fans here will have any problems if they don't take these things too emotionally.

I understand why you need to worry if you are not a bettor. You can always watch the game without betting since sports run even without gambling as you already stated on this OP.

Gambling isn’t a mandatory thing to do while watching sports. I believe the one that should be worried are those sports bettor living on the country which planning to have a law to restrict any form of online gambling.

Sports will is independent to gambling so there’s nothing to worry about it.

That's actually plain and simple. If you don't wanna gamble, then, don't bet. No one is forcing you to bet in the first place. It is still your own prerogative whether you will gamble or not. The gambling narrative will depend on the gambler himself. He should not blame nor rely from anyone else when it comes to this activity. Because as a gambler, you have the control of your life and whether you bet or not, is really up to you. The government will always regulate those legit running casinos and they have certain protocols to abide by, and if they enforce such protocols to their players, it means, you also need to comply with. If you are not amenable with their requirements, then, don't sign up and deposit.
