A worries of sport fans who don't gamble

[Fredomago]

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

What are the people that are worried about the widespread of gambling worrying for?! They should channel that energy into what can improve their life and leave what they have no influence to upset. The sports industry is a multi trillion one likewise the gambling industry and they're working harmoniously to promote and provide entertainment and rewards for being entertained by engaging the fans with predictions on pregames outcomes. It's a the problem of anyone who chooses to act irresponsible about that.

On point, both industries have a billions to trillions worth of business they are in-charge on how to improve what they are promoting and that's there bread and butter while for those who are worrying I like your statement, it's on the person's perception if he or she doesn't like involving himself to gambling then he can enjoy watching the games, the affillation between gambling and sports betting is on the decision of an individual to participate as he always have the option not to do so.

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.

But nobody is actually been forced to gamble in the first place, as people usually gamble at their free will, while having the intension to be lucky to win a jackpot. Because most times, the majority who seems to hate gambling are those who might have gambled for over the years and lost so much money on it without winning a penny, whereas the opposite will always love gambling simply because it offers them an extra source of income. So the availability of gambling casino all round, has absolutely nothing to do with degrading football fans experience.

We live in a world where people are so quick in condemning, and talking against something because they're ain't doing it, which may not be something bad but since it doesn't appeal to this likes they then have a problem with it. No working laws that binds people not gambling from watching the games, neither restricting people from just watching and not to gamble. With the tremendous boom of sports and gambling, people's opinion can't even instruct the growth.

Correct, you can simply watch and enjoy and don't mind those who wants to adds up to their enjoyment as it's their own ways to enjoy and be entertain, like what you said no law that impose something like you need to gamble when watching whatever sports you love to support, gambling was implement for those who wanted to take the risk, it's their own will when they enter the sports house and place their money to bet for the team or player/fighter that they wanted to support.

Sports Is an independent activity and is not dependent on gambling in any way, it is fulfilling its purpose which is for entertainment,  are you saying how that without gambling fans will no longer go to the football stadium or will fans not watch sports on the television again. Only is you know the impact of sports in the society today, you will understand that gambling has just little to contribute to sports,

The only fans that will be affected if gambling size to exist are fans that are addicted or fans that use gambling as a source off income, of not this there will be no impact in sports.

I don't know, if I genuinely support a certain team, then sports betting won't cause me any problems. You can always find betting options for your favorite team if you want to bet on it at all. I've heard that some people refuse to bet on their team on principle, so as not to get too stressed while watching the match. I've also heard of people who bet against their team so that if their team loses, they can at least soften the blow of defeat with a win at the bookmaker's.

I believe that this is a reasonable concern. Betting has turned into such a routine that in some instances the game comes second. Non-gaming fans simply wish to watch the game but nowadays the attention is usually on bets and chances. Besides, with such amount of money at stake, individuals will begin to question the honesty of outcomes. Sports must always remain fun to all and not only to those betting.

I believe that sports won't die without sports betting, and betting in general can exist without sports. However, if we talk about betting today, we're most likely talking about sports betting. Sports betting and betting are practically twins. And today, these two phenomena contribute to each other's development. In the most developed countries, both the sports and betting industries are activities that provide a significant number of jobs and create employment. Furthermore, by attempting to predict the outcomes of events that seem unpredictable at first glance, we develop our analytical and predictive skills. This even benefits science and philosophy. It benefits all of human culture.

True with the way and level sport betting and gambling has developed to today it's really hard to separate the two because, these two industries have so become connected.That it's difficult to separate the two , these are two big industries that rely on each other to survive because you can't be talking about betting in today world without talking about sport because sport betting is the order of the day. Every sporting event today is a potential way of making money because if you can accurately predict the outcome of the sport event you can be smiling to the Bank.



With the current state of things now in the sporting world anyone who is not gambling is like missing out on something because the slogan is make money from were your passion is.

Sports is now a big gambling tool because there are different sports tournaments ongoing every week from season to season which has made a lot of people see it as a way to make money for themselves instead of just enjoying the game that they have passion for. Gambling is part of human nature even if there's no sportbet or casino games, human will bet on other events just like what's happening in Polymarket.

It depends on which community you are part of, I think most gamblers understand that there are fans that just are simply fans of the sport and in anyway, they're not going to mix their fanboying with gambling. But as gamblers, we're in the both worlds of it and understands that the sports industry is also with the gambling industry and have tied up that complement each other. I don't worry at all and that's none of my concern and I guess the others too, this isn't a concerning thing for us if that's how they think of sports nowadays.

I fall under the category of gamblers who don't like placing bets on the team I fan because I see it as something for which my bet will be biased, so I just avoid my favourite team and choose others which I can place bets on. Instead of betting for my team to win when I know they will lose, I would rather skip the game entirely.

Everybody has different experiences when it comes to sports betting and its best preferable to them whether to play for fun or a different purposes. It is only reasonable for people to bet with self consciousness and have that self control to manage their losses to avoid addiction and all the disadvantages that come with it.

Betting is not bad in general sense and people earn as much as others lose as well. Not everybody can enjoy the full betting experience but that should not rule out the benefits that come with it as well. Bet with discipline and enjoy the losses, bet with greed and suffer the more.

Majority of us will bet in that line too, not wanting to bet on teams that we are fans of, since the excitement and the fan commitment can interfere with our selection,  let say that your team will lose a match but because of the player you believe so much in, you could get carried away to bet on him scoring a goal within thay same match, but innthe end you could get disappointed.

I've encountered conspiracy theorists on the Russian-speaking internet who claim that modern bookmakers completely control all sports. They claim that no sport could exist without the support and sponsorship of bookmakers. However, according to them, in exchange for sponsorship, they seek not only and not so much advertising as fixed matches, or, as they call them, "scripted matches." Some videos present so many arguments that it seems plausible.
But overall, modern sports really could hardly exist without bookmakers. Although their influence is heavily demonized.

In short, what you're referring to is money and more money, with the potential for corruption. I've always said something: FIFA is an organization that has always been corrupt That almost makes my stomach churn because it's always been like that. It tarnishes the sport, and it's something no one likes. I hope that will gradually change Now, with VAR in football, referees find ways to cheat. That has to stop.

I do not think there is a reason to worry.
Sports and betting exist in their own worlds. There is no connection between them that would indicate a symbiotic relationship with each other.

Anything in excess is not good. When excessive bets are placed in sports, the joy of the game is not given priority, but people's interest in gambling increases. Due to this, gamblers move away from the real joy of the game. Although this may not have a big effect in the short term, it certainly creates a big problem in the long term. Nowadays, the promotion of gambling platforms is very high, which is why betting is now discussed everywhere. Sports existed before and till today, but nowadays gambling is given the main priority. It is believed that if gambling is not done, sports will also disappear, but in reality, sports will definitely continue, but it is true that its spread will be greatly reduced.

You are absolutely right about what you are saying, the heavy presence of gambling ads during sports actually increases the tendency to bet, especially among high risk fans. Nowadays, whenever you watch a game, you can easily notice how gambling ads are increasing in sports. Also, you can see the report by the Australian Institute of Family Studies above, it clearly highlights how gambling ads are not keeping the gaming environment family friendly &  how it is normalizing gambling in a way that causes anxiety for people

Therefore, this narrow presence of gambling is really disrupting the enjoyment of the game for those fans who just want to enjoy the game experience but have to worry about the annual bet

[Dickiy]

That's only when they treat gambling irresponsibly. Isn't it everyone's responsibility to be responsible for the decisions they make? Of course.

For me, rationally, sports seem more exciting when betting is involved because there's something valuable involved, which can increase the adrenaline rush.

Besides, no one is forcing or forcing anyone to bet; can't they just watch without betting? Clearly, then why are we making a problem of gambling involved in sports? It's simply a choice. The problem is the irresponsible people, the losers.

I think Sports betting is mainly for entertainment, but general people are betting on Sports betting in the hope of betting rich quick or making money very easily, but with this mentality, real fun cannot be enjoyed through betting, due to which betting becomes an addiction, we do not have self-control over ourselves, as a result, we cannot bet according to the right rules, which increases the risk of losing money many times. general people think badly of Sports betting, so it is very important to always be aware while gambling.

The prevalence of betting in sports is really losing the integrity of the game. Now we see that very few people are accepting sports as a means of entertainment. We see around us that more than 60% of people are involved in betting. There are many such histories, where various famous players are in contact with gamblers, and gamblers request them to perform well or poorly in the game. This breaks the hearts of the ordinary spectators. They do not get the expected results.

sports betting has become so common that it is definitely affecting how some people see sports. because any fans now watch games mainly because of their bets, not the love of the sport itself and when there are stories of players being influenced by gamblers, it makes things worse because it damages trust. but again not everyone watching sports is a gambler! there are still many people who watch just for fun of it, the real problem is that betting is now everywhere and for some people it has changed the way they enjoy sports in general
