Is it possible to bet against the club that you do fans?

No problem at all. It's not a sin, after all, to bet against. Betting is one thing, but liking is another. So if a fan has any problems with this, then he already attaches too much symbolic importance to his commitment... This is just a private opinion, I do not condemn such a point of view, everyone is free to set their own "taboos".

Not a sin, not a crime, not a major violation if someone does that. I can't say about fans if they have that kind of code and conduct.
But if they knew someone does that from their circle, I don't think that he'll be expelled from the group.
Being a fan is free, being a gambler is not and that's our personal choice. If we bet against our favorite club and we lose, then they'll just laugh and mock us with that bad decision.

We all have the team that we support and always hope that they win all their matches even though we know that that's not possible, when we see them matched against an opponent we believe they can't win against we still wish that they win so why place a bet against them when you are already hoping in the back of your mind that they end up winning, there is an inconsistency in that story, we want them to win so we can't place a bet against them. Well this is the case for most of the times because sometimes you just know they can't possibly win so you just bet against them.

Don you think at this point emotions and pity becomes the analytical tool and not team stats and current form. Emotional analysis don't always end well. I have a team I support but when they get matched with a team I know too well they can't outperform or can't win I will rather play safe, it doesn't mean I don't wish my team well but reality is staring at me and I just have to take the proper decision and increase my chances of winning, because the team I support won't compensate me for supporting them if they eventually lose. To me everything is pure business

[Peanutswar]

Even you are a fan you can make an against bet to them there is no ruling at all that once you a fan you need to be dedicated to them. We are talking about money here if you think they cant win against their opponents there is nothing to prove at all if I were that basically i will make a bet with the opposite team. Thats how we use the edge of being a sports enthusiast we are using every small details we know from the teams and player as your edge and win your bets.

There will definitely be a conflict between our mindset and feelings towards the team we support. But we have to distinguish between betting and our sense of support for our favorite team. 
Generally, when we place a bet on a certain team, we naturally want the team to win. However, in cases where the team we support is not performing well or is facing a stronger team, I can disregard that and bet on my supported team to lose. 
Or if there is a conflict within ourselves, it is better not to bet and just enjoy the match.

Exactly, when we place bet doesn't mean we don't support our favourite club but we want to win, which is why we place a bet that people are sure of and not based on club, because gambling is based on luck and not on skills, which is why it can't be predicted. But controlling your emotions makes it easier for one not to make decisions that will bring disasters and regrets to them. So if you team isn't performing well, it's better to place a bet with good teams and win or you just skip the bet and enjoy the game for the sake of your emotional state or you mental health.

I know that some people will prefer not to bet against the club they fans with and even when they know that there is very tendance of losing the match yet they will not make use of the opportunity they have to win money, I'm being honest that i have bet against my club to lose that particular match because i know that my club can't win their opponent and i won the game, so i really want us to share our experiences if you can actually bet against your club to win all times, even when you know that there are some matches that will be so difficult for your team to win or you will not near that particular match because it is your club that is playing then you will prefer placing bets on other teams to win or draw.

When it comes to betting on the club I support, it depends on how big the chances of winning are. Usually, if the club I support doesn't have a chance of winning, I choose another option, such as both teams scoring.
I have also placed bets on my favorite team before, but ended up losing. That match took place at Villa Park. Arsenal lost to Aston Villa. Then, when Arsenal could only manage a draw against Nottingham Forest. The odds were in their favor before the match started, but the result was 0-0.
Sometimes we have to separate our favorite team from our bets.

[Bitinity]

As long as the odds is good and there is a bigger chance than betting on our own favorite club, why not? We should be able to know where we are standing, when we are standing as gambler then we should be more realistic although if we are standing as a fan than we will always hope to see our favorite team win the match.

I don't see anything wrong with that. You won't stop being a fan of the club, that's 100% certain. Besides, you're betting on the event, not on your love for the club. If you are sure that your local club will play against the top league, for example, then of course the outcome of the game is obvious, and why not earn a little extra money on it? Besides, you will watch the match, and the disappointment after the club's loss will be offset by a small bonus from the bet on their game.

Is it possible to bet against the club that you do fans?

Most of my gamblers or friends who often gamble online, as far as I know, 89% of them are not supporters or fanatics of certain clubs, they gamble sportively and professionally and the remaining 11% are supporters, aka fake gamblers.

Of the many friends I know, they gamble by placing bets based on predictions, analysis and other additional information, of course all of this is to reach a betting point that has certainty or victory, to be honest, personally, gambling is still gambling, I have to differentiate between gambling and club supporters, because we are risking money, gambling does not recognize fans and supporters.

Well, for someone who wants to win the bet then it's okay to bet against ones favorite club. Sometimes it's better to think practically rather than being emotional and that's why it's okay to bet against the club and I've done that many times and won most of those bets. When someone's favorite club is weak and opponent club is strong then it's better to bet in favor of the strong club instead of betting for ones own favorite club.

This is possible especially if we know that there's situation that gives our favorite club disadvantages and this will provably give advantage to their opponent, that's why its not really possible for us to think about betting on the opponent since somehow what's important for us bettor is to win from those bets we placed on each teams we like.

Although I also understand that there are die hard fans and they want to stick betting on them win or lose. I meet some people like this, they want to share victory with their favorite team and don't want to bet with what they called enemy.

The reality is that they don't care whether you bet against them or not, as they don't even know that you exist, right? So why bother what they think. It is your money at stake, so you need to be smart on how you handle your funds so to speak.

I'm not sure but been a fan has nothing to do with what club you support and who yo adore in any game. I can look at my favorites and bet against them, be sad about the outcome and be happy that I made the money, I can't lose as a fan and still lose my money don't you think. It's my responsibility to control my lost and if one is to bet against my club, I will do that without hesitation. I remember one time making mouth against my friends that their club was going to lose and to boost my confidence, I bet on the game and I won, bet isn't about emotion.

I think you can play around any team and bet on anything you want aside from loss. Sometimes, yellow card expectations are options are played with. You can bet on me injury if you like, it's not an against bet but an expectation from the game. Some people bet on goals even though their favorites still lose. In general, you can do anything you want in betting without going against but just know it's your momeh that is at stake.

[Shinpako09]

Of course, it’s the same as saying business is business, nothing personal. The priority is where you think you can take the most profit, not just because you’re a fan. If you see that the club you’re supporting doesn’t stand a chance, then don’t bet on them, bet on the opponents instead. Think about the profit and don’t let your emotions dictate your decisions. The club won’t reward you for being loyal and betting on them even if their chances of winning are low. There’s no such thing.

[HelliumZ]

There is no restriction in gambling that you cannot bet against your favorite club. If there is a stronger club than my club, I will definitely bet on that stronger club. I am usually a Real Madrid fan, but sometimes I bet against Real Madrid. In this case, one of the main reasons for betting is the venue, especially if the venue is not Real Madrid's favorite, then of course I would bet against Real Madrid. One of the main objectives in gambling is to win bets, especially when it comes to winning against the favorite team rather than losing by betting on the favorite team.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

I can do this over and over again, because am not supporting any club by being paid, instead, because i trusted them to a certain level that they can deliver, but when this becomes a dream that never comes through, then i either change them or play my bet as according to how i know they could perform, there is no need of deceiving self here, its my money am using to gamble and not given by the club i supported, so i can bet against them once i know they are not up to task.

there is no law that restrict a gambler not to bet against his Club according to you, if you lose money in your betting your club will not know if you profit from your betting against your club your club will not also know so what is the need of not betting against a club that you fan, you have answered the question accurately I believe that everything that the op want to hear has been given to him because in gambling you don't gamble what your mind or what you don't have interest on in most of gamble according to the spirit that lead you so myself I gamble against my club if I notice that the club are going to play with my own Club we defeat my club I will gamble against my club in order for me to win my gambling

[rdluffy]

...

Let me tell you, you're very brave. I wouldn't be able to bet against my own team , I'd feel too bad , like I was being disloyal to myself But at least you had the courage to do it and experience that When I'm in a situation like that, I prefer to do what you say: do nothing , don't bet anything, just stay put. I think I'd feel exactly the same way you do, lol.

Hehehe, I've done that only few times (really ), but it's exactly as you said, it feels like I'm being disloyal to myself

The only interesting point to take away from this situation is the following:

If you bet against your team and:
  > Your team wins, you'll be happy because your team won
  > Your team loses, at least you made some money from it, it's a form of “compensation.”

[TheUltraElite]

Logically speaking, there should not be any favoritism when placing bets. Place bets based on what you feel is better and whichever team is having better odds. Because you are being a fan on one club does not mean they are going to win every game.

Still some sort of bias will always creep in, it should be kept to a minimum.

The gambling aspect of it will always be some luck based, because a good form team might also lose, hence most of it will always be beyond our control.
