Topic: A typical weekend in sport betting-Why do gamblers still do sport bets? (Read 409 times)

The reason why you are interested in the sport of football is that it makes sense. What is that, those who are interested in sports definitely understand the game of each team, making it easier for them to analyze who is stronger between team A and team B.

To be precise in sports betting it is 80% skill and 20% luck. This is because they know that behind their skill in analyzing a team, there will be results that are wrong even though the quality of the team that has been analyzed has quite good quality and a series of achievements.
When you play slots, it is full of temptations that are difficult to resist.

That is why many bet on sports instead of playing slots.

I was thinking that the question is a rhetorical one but we can still give an answer. In football leagues which is played in weekend in most time because of the public workers who would have chanced to watch the games in the weekend make the matches to be fixed for the weekends. And if you look at it, you will discovered that, people play sports bet more than slot machine games. And people bet on sport for fun and partial income.

One thing in gambling is faith. When you bet a sport game, you will have the faith that you will win the game and no gambler would agree that he would loss the game. The faith of winning the game is always there until it is obvious that the side he is supporting is losing out then he would loss hope to win the game. People use sport betting because it is more easier to predict and bet on.

Maybe for a worker who is busy on weekdays like me, weekends are the time to relax and play gambling to just have fun and relax in the evening. It's true that sometimes if there are no interesting sports bets, I usually play some casino games, but sometimes I just play casino games. to fill the void while waiting for the match event to start so there is no harm in playing casino.

But sometimes it all depends on how people use their weekends, but most sporting events are always on weekends where everyone can take part in the available sports betting and also play casinos, I think maybe some of those who bet on sports bets, some like to make extra money also or just for fun as a hobby because they watch football for their favorite team.

Gambling is broad, we have to learn about the system thoroughly before anticipating in these gambling activities. There's numerous categories that would be either favours us and there are some that would scrambled upon us. Sport betting is actually a simple task if a gambler is acquainted with the whole gambling system. We choose a sector we would find easier to wager, and definitely not going into a more complicated side that we have no knowledge or clue about. Odds are another thing that fueled up our returns on games, more serving as a leverage in trading.

And gamblers will still gamble whenever they want and not gamble on the weekend, especially if it is an ongoing event like the World Cup. And when the event is taking place, they may place bets more than usual because that is the time for them to have a greater chance of winning.

Yes, people will turn to casino games if there are no interesting games they can gamble on. But some choose to rest and recover or reduce yesterday's tension. But real gamblers will still gamble, especially if they already have their favorite casino. The presence or absence of matches from their favorite sport does not make them stop gambling for a while because there are many casino games they can play while waiting for the moment when betting on their favorite sport starts again.

To feel normal I guess. Gamblers will gamble, that's normal to them. They can't  take their eyes off the odds they see on matches in order to make money, they bet especially on the sport they follow the most.

There are just casino games as well that doesn't need learning at all. You don't even need to be a fan of the game to play it. And if there is no matches during the week, casino games will do to make the day normal.

But some gamblers gamble on sports and play casino games like poker, craps, or slots. I also sometimes gamble on sports, and I also play slots. So gamblers will choose gambling games that they like, and there may be gamblers who like all gambling games even though they don't play them very often.

And what makes gamblers return to gambling is winning some money even though not many can. When gamblers have found a gambling game they like, they will return to the casino, and it doesn't take long for them to return to the casino. Besides that, gamblers who gamble on sports betting place their bets again because their favorite team will compete or they really want to use their free time by betting. But some really want to bet at the end of the week.

I would venture to say that this is the main reason fans gamble on sports at all, when I think of all the people that I know that make sports bets none of them care about games like poker, dice or slots, so it is not as if they like gambling itself, what they like is the feeling of having more at stake when their team wins or losses.

So in a way gambling in sports bets is simply an extension of the passion they have for a particular sport, this is also similar to what I see with video games, in which people play a video game that is about the sport they love but otherwise they do not care at all about any other video game.

I'm a sports bettor, and I love football.
Every day I read news about football, watch programs about this sport on TV, I'm always looking on the internet for news about it and it's also one of my main topics among my friends.
So I'm the one who asks you: Why wouldn't I also bet on football?
It's not just about making money, even if some results are totally contradictory to the statistics.... it's about betting on something I love. Why not?

I am hopeful that there are still many bettors who do this for the love of the sport and not just for the money.

The reasons are

- Quite easy to predict
- It's not always relying upon my luck
- My analyzation matters a lot to predict which team that has bigger chance to win.

It sounds nonsense if you were saying sportsbetting has no same chance to make a lot of money. If you follow Stake's Twitter account, you would see that they regularly post about sports bettors who have won big prizes from betting on sports..

Sportbetting is proving to be much more entertaining for me.

Some gamblers find sports betting more entertaining and they might've been following sports before they started betting. A big favorite losing or conceding points against weaker teams doesn't mean sports betting isn't worth it. There are leagues with more competitive teams and you have to include other factors when betting because some sports might be entirely different from the other even though they look similar on paper. As you've said, luck is still involved and it's why you can't always trust the odds coming from the sportsbooks because even the best players can't avoid underperforming and mistakes all the time.

Maybe to you yes and maybe you are much focused on it, because there are also non-sports betting games which skills can matter. But, no matter how confident and sure we are about our picking or ability, there will always be a time that we can lose. When you are exposed in one game, there were recommendations of other games and we can get tempted to click and try them.

If you ask on why someone doesn't want to bet on the game that you like, well because not all people are the same. Like me for example, I have no idea how to place a bet in a sports betting platform lol. I find it too complicated and not user-friendly as the casino games.

I confess that I don't understand, Chelsea are not a big team, at least they haven't been since the last few seasons, they are a ridiculous team that makes meaningless signings, betting on Chelsea is always a big risk, about Napoli, they don't they are the same team as last season and just because last season they were lucky enough to win series A doesn't mean they are invincible, they changed coach this season, about valencia they are a small team and you complained that big teams lost but :

In Serie A the big teams won: Inter won; Milan won; Juventus won; If you had bet on these big teams from Series A you would have profited.

In the Premier League, the big teams also won: Manchester City won; Arsenal won; Liverpool won

In Spain the two big teams also won: Barcelona won; real madrid won

So there's nothing wrong with sports betting, you bet on shitty and unstable teams that have a different coach and you didn't bet on the big teams in the big leagues, see that in Germany, the Bundesliga, Bayern won, in France, Ligue 1, PSG also won, So I say this again: there is nothing wrong with manipulation in sports betting, and if you don't know how to analyze games correctly and place bets well, that's why you're losing, as a general rule for sports betting, I follow these guidelines. rules:

1- do not make multibet bets, this is not profitable in the long term~
2 - don't bet on teams and leagues that you don't know, you need to know the team's squad, don't bet on the team's name, what makes a winning team is the squad and not the name. for example in the case of chelsea, you cannot assume that chelsea is a great team because in the past they were, you must see the chelsea squad and with that you could already know that they are a weak team

Hope this helps

Just because a particular strategy didn't work well for you doesn't necessarily mean it won't work for other gamblers. Strong teams often lose because they were outplayed by even stronger opponents, which in turn makes the winning team appear strong as well. Sports rankings are in constant flux as teams and players improve. These are just a few reasons why betting on game outcomes or prop bets can be unpredictable. It's complex and requires consideration of numerous factors.

Some individuals may have a high win rate, which could explain why they continue to gamble. On the other hand, even those who have experienced losses may hold out hope for a future win and continue to place bets. Whilst some, plays for fun.

Sports betting is very enjoyable as you can watch competitions that will make you money. I am pretty sure many people are loving sports so they enjoy watching it but betting is like extra sauce involved. Sports betting can also be very profitable even with surprise matches. If you keep following teams and players you can try luck betting on surprise result yourself and make even more money. It being skill based is something better.

Hobbies and fanaticism are traits that are inherent in every individual/human being, these two traits are integrated within humans, whatever they do, it doesn't matter whether they win or lose, lose or gain, the important thing is they bet on their favorite team, well that's what happens to sports betting nowadays, top choice football, boxing what else.

I have sports betting experience to my friend about football teams A and B, because he is a fanatic of team B, then I suggest him to place a bet on team A, I know team A won the match, he said I don't care about team B losing, for sure I will place a bet for them, he simply answered, the fact is team A won.

There are several things that can be concluded about sports betting, some people bet just want to win, on the other hand it is just based on hobbies and fanaticism and several things that maybe some of us here know why placing sports bets is, However, the fact is that sports betting is one of the types of gambling that is generally prioritized by many people.

Luck? Yes, there is a degree of unpredictableness; after all, every coin has two sides. Skill? I have no doubts. It takes work to comprehend the game, analyze the statistics, and predict likely outcomes. But discipline also plays a part.

Healthy gambling is understanding when to stop rather than trying to predict every gain. Each wager is comparable to adding a new card to a house of cards. It can strengthen you or weaken your stronghold. regularly placing wagers in a certain range? That's self-control. but anticipating steady earnings? Wishful thinking, that.

The goal of real gamblers is not to win money. They wagered to put their analytical prowess to the test against unpredictability. Then, is gambling more skillful or luck? Maybe its about learning how to maintain your composure in the face of chaos. What about those that scored big with 15 events? An exception, not the norm.

Obviously the two have a huge difference and I liken slot betting to lazy betting without any skill anyone can do it. Because you only need to press a button, you can even do it while sleeping, because slots are indeed a bet on luck.
And sports betting is smart betting because it involves a certain level of skill and knowledge about the sport. Such as teams, players, statistics and so on. And if you have sufficient skills and are serious about analyzing and looking for accurate information, the chances of winning will be easy to come by.

So you think that sports betting is just a little bit about luck and mostly about skill? I would say congratulations then because I have been betting on sports for many years if there is one thing I learned, it is that betting and being profitable over a long period of time is mostly luck and with every additional bet the luck factor becomes bigger. Of course studying the game and the events pre-game and so on and also having some deeper understanding of the sport is all a plus when it comes to being profitable, but I am yet to meet someone who would be profitable when statistical outliers from their betting activities would be included. Everyone can have this one lucky hit when a multi bet with 15 events are all right and someone makes half a million dollars and is therefore profitable. But if someone acts steadily within a certain bet size range, I don't know or could at least not reasonably verify that someone is profitable in terms of their own expected value because skill is involved.

You can't compare sports betting with slot machines, those are two totally opposite things in gambling. Slot machines are purely based on luck and there is also a house edge that eats you up eventually even if you are winning your amount back after every loss. On the other end, sports betting requires a lot of knowledge and experience about that specific sport and the teams involved in a match to be able to actually predict the outcome and get what you have selected based on the odds.

And, just because some matches don't go the way you and everyone might have expected them to go, it doesn't mean that sports betting is worse than slot machines which are basically considered to be machines that eat up all your money. Sports betting is the most profitable way of gambling but only if the bettor understands it well and has enough knowledge and experience in the sport they are betting on.
