I was sitting down, looking at my bets, and I remembered a bet I once took. Beautiful game. The team I had bet on was already leading. I and my friends were at a football center watching the game. I was bragging because the team I had bet on was already winning. I was all happy because of my win. Lo and behold, a few minutes before the match ended, the opposing team equalized and eventually won the game. I was devastated. My friends kept on laughing at me. A day I can never forget.
Have you ever celebrated a win too early?
Not personally, but I have seen people doing that for sure, and they weren't always bets made on major sports, I have also seen people making bets on games such as pool, where they were playing against each other, one would be too much ahead of the other, and he starts behaving like he is the winner, but eventually, the person who starts celebrating early actually loses and then the other person and everyone else starts laughing at them and teasing them, and that person will feel extremely embarrased.
Not only that, I have also seen clips of international players celebrating early and then getting embarrased for losing or not actually succeeding at what they were trying to do. I have seen a lot of videos where football players start celebrating early, and then they either don't score, or something else happens such as off-side or something like that.
So yeah, celebrating early is not a good thing. You should wait, and once it is confirmed that you have actually won, and then you can celebrate as much as you want to avoid embarrassment.
