Passion for the sports they are betting and as well as this is the way to go in gambling when skills are also part of it. There's a bit of luck needed but it goes to the players and teams that you're betting for that sport.

But apart from that, the love for the game is what sports bettors making their stay on any of those. Unlike the luck based games, you're forced and responsible for the bets that you're about to make.

You have the idea and knowledge which is a big edge for your bets and that will serve as an increased chance of winning. You get to enjoy the game and as well as the potential chance to make some money out of it.

You think the people who play slots are in it exclusively for the money? They aren't. Whether you're gambling for profit or for entertainment, the latter will have some bearing to you and might even be a deciding factor upon which you'll base which game you're going to invest your time on. Sportsbet scratches that brain itch for these people. They wanted to support their favorite teams or bet on the sports that they love but at the same time earn something back from predicting right, isn't that something that is logical and grounded so to speak?

So if you can justify people playing slots, but couldn't for the life of you find logic behind people playing sportsbets, is the problem really behind sportsbetting, or is it with you?

It is behind sport betting and in theory it should be much easier to win in sport betting but the odds should be lower so the initial bet or stake as they call it should be a lot.The problem is that even with these low odds as I said we see a lot of surprise results especially yesterday where we had a lot of them and many of them in the main 5 European Leagues,today was a good day for betting and even me who don't like much sport betting won this worthless bet in money but good in odd well over 13 and it was a big parlay,my biggest regret I just bet a funny amount as I didn't think this would come through when I keep losing bets or parlays with 2 or less odds.How tragic or comic is that?

That only happens when you don't have prior knowledge about the game you're betting on, to which I say why the hell are you betting on these games anyway?

For the most part odds or no odds ever sports game is decided the very moment that the teams are pitted against each other. The people who watched these sports (like basketball for instance) have watched this closely and so they are able to derive predictions that are sometimes beyond what the odds are on about. In sports betting, for the most part the odds are only there to tell you how much you'd win, as for the overall skill of the player and everything sports-wise that matters, odds are beyond that already. I would agree there are underdogs every now and again but they come once in a blue moon, and I'll bet you my bottom dollar those 5 team you see "unexpectedly" winning were predicted by die-hard fans from a mile away.

What is the reason that sport bettors still continue to place sport bets?


As someone who is an avid fan of sports, I enjoy sports betting compare to other types of betting out there. I think it's fun and engaging at the same time because it's happening in real time. Unlike other games, it requires analysis and knowledge so I won't rely that much in luck which is a good thing. Also, I think sports betting is a double win. The team that you are rooting for wins the game, and at the same time you gain money. So, it's a win-win situation.
You also analyze in sports betting but of course we know how this thing works and yes its more exciting to watch your favorite sports and win at the same time.
Many are still into sports betting for the reason of higher chance of winning, and sports is slowly coming back. Some bettor though are not doing any analysis when they place their bet and they just rely on their instinct especially if its their favorite team, the risk is there but at least if you are going to compare it to traditional game in casinos, sports betting are more ok.

Gamblers are going to gamble, plain and simple. If sports are what you like to gamble on, then you'll bet sports. If slots are your game, or poker, or blackjack, and so on.

I think people falsely feel like the favorite of any match is always going to win. Noone takes into account a new coach, new player, or an injury. They bet with their hearts alot of the time and hope they get lucky. People need to research a little and bet what their research tells them. You won't always be right, but you'll have a much better chance of winning.

You probably are also unsure whether you will win or not so the reason for betting funny amounts.
I feel the same way in my betting. When I bet just $10, I often pick the methods of winning which can often be 3x when I win but this is for combat sports.

When you don't expect to win, you most likely didn't also watch the game. Matches that take hours and hours to be over like in the European Leagues is the kind that will eat up time thats why I skip watching them. No fun in it but you gamble.

What is the reason that sport bettors still continue to place sport bets?

Every gambler definitely has his or her favorite type of gambling available. even though most of us have generally played some type of gambling, that doesn't mean we don't have bets that are favorites. I don't know for most people, but for me personally, sports betting is the part that I enjoy the most. It's not just a matter of betting, but there are other aspects involved. I like many types of sports, but my favorite is football. why football, because football is a sport that is loved by almost all levels of society.

Before I got to know gambling, from a young age I was fond of this type of sport. so it would be very natural, if I tend to bet on sports. apart from that, there is adrenaline that triggers us when watching a match live. especially, if it is spiced up by involving betting. here I'm not going to talk about the technical side of how we have to make a good bet, but more about the joy we get. While slot games, this type of game is very easy to play. without needing skills, we can easily understand it and then play it. it's just that everyone has their favorite of all the types of bets that exist. although it is not uncommon, if we like to bet on various types of games.

According to your reasoning, should we just give up on everything since life is unpredictable? Sports betting demands diligence. It's for people that dig deep, think critically, and grasp the subtleties. casino games? They are for individuals who enjoy simplicity and calm

The unpredictable nature of sports betting is what makes it so appealing. Sports betting is worthwhile because of the drama, highs and lows, and upsets that are inherent to the sport. Yes, today's weaker teams fell short. Then what? After all, it's just a game. The slot machines may be calling your name if you find the excitement of the pursuit too much to handle. That is not an offence

Yeah, He forget to consider that sports betting is still a prediction which not always the strong team wins against weaker team. I believe he is the type of bettor that always choose a match that has significant difference on strength that makes it easy to predict who will win. More on games with odds less than 1.5.

I understand his sentiment too if you are a player like him but nt all players bet that way and some preferred to bet on a match that almost even to have a better odds.

For the fun when you prove you can analyze sports results than the famous guys who analyze fights on youtube podcasts. If you have been following or are a fan of a sport, you will sometimes disagree when they say your team will lose. Those sports bettors also speculate who will win and they pick which team and give reasons why it will win. They pat themselves on the back when their prediction was right. Validation I guess.

But not just that, if they can predict which round his team will win, it's also a big $win.

"if we all think/predict an outcome on the same way, we wouldn't have horse racing!"

This sentence is enough to explain the whole phenomenon of gambling, in a simple way!
I also believe that in certain sports and at certain levels surprise is always possible precisely because there is high competition. Likewise the 100 meters finals at the Olympics games, the time difference between the finalists is always negligible...

People keep betting because they think they can predict the outcome of an event and be more smarter than bookmaker.

Your reasoning is really logical for those players that only aim to win. There’s a lot of sports bettor that place bet on games that they want to watch and support the team to make watching more exciting. Also no one expects that there’s a lot of upset match on weekends since this is not a typical scenario. Maybe there are few weeks that show same result but there are weeks too that game is just normal.

Most importantly, not all bettors bet on the dominant team since chase higher odds by taking risk bet on under dog team.

Most of the bets made on sporting events are not based on analysis and stats but on the intuition and preference of the bettor. Many people bet on the person or team they love, their local team or the national team. In short, they are not focused on making a profit from their bets but to have fun along with the game. I've even found people who bet against their favorite, so they would have something to be happy about even if their team lose.

Stronger teams mean they are more skillful, and if they are still loosing, it means that it is really more a matter of luck than skill in many games, although skill increase your chances to be luckier. All games people gamble on still need the element of luck even if they are skill based.

What is the reason that sport bettors still continue to place sport bets?
It is exciting and everybody do not need to like slots which is the one that you like. The options of what to gamble on is many and in different kinds for gamblers to choose from. Some gamblers have made sports betting their option, that is one reason why betters still play sports bet.

Like they say, different strokes for different folks. Some people do it for the love of it. That is their preferred gambling choice while for some others it is because of peer pressure. They want to have something to discuss over some bottles of beer with the boys.

There's a little bit of skill in sports betting and I don't know how they do it but punters have been able to develop it . That is why they have a large following on social media because their predictions are always 70% correct.

The reasons are: gamblers still believe they can perform well on long term overcoming the casino by placing assertive bets on winner teams, despite them being the favorites or underdogs. They don't bet solely on favorites or underdogs, but try to predict when to bet on each of them on the right situation, besides the fact watching sports matches is a hobby for those gamblers, what means it's an enjoyable activity for them beyond the possibility of making profit from it. It's not only about the money, you know?

Sports betting is certainly tricky and full of surprising outcomes. I think there is some skill to it, but also tons of luck. When I was in my first major league prediction pool (and I didn't focus on predicting sports before that), I got into the top 10%. But then the following years, even though I had more experience and a better understanding of teams, I got much worse results.
I still like betting on sports, though. Sometimes I bet on a team or person I want to support, not because I believe they have the best chance of winning. Sometimes I just bet on the underdog or on the opposite to see how it plays out, kind of as an entertainment. I don't get too upset about losing a bet or too excited about winning one. To me, these are small entertaining things, a part of life.

Don't you wanna have some sort of control over the things you put your money on? It's not as if I don't want to win big but I prefer betting on something that I think I have a higher chance of winning. There will be upsets for sure but what are the likelihood of that happening? Maybe 1 to 3 out of ten so I'll still take that 7 to 9 chance given the odds are decent imo.
