Do you prefer being on your own with your matches and bets or do you like to take part in various tournament to boost the competitive spirit of it all?

Most of the time, yes, but it doesn't mean I don't like to take part in various tournaments. I've been in some competition or tournament before outside crypto.

My own criteria would be; if I like the tournament, I have knowledge about the tournament, I know I can win, etc.

If you build such confidence then the chance in winning is high, not to waste your time. But taking things seriously and consuming your knowledge in picking your events.

Personally, I'm just a play and go type of gamblers, not really into this competition events where you have the chance to compete with co-gamblers.

I just place my bet whenever I have spare or if I really love the team.

Being competitive while betting is actually a very bad thing financially because we may forced to bet more and more beyond our limits when our opposition is doing it but the financial status can be completely different on both the sides.I am also used to bet on my own and never wanted to be competitive with a stranger, sometimes it is acceptable when we are gamble with out friend gang.

I prefer to bet at my own pace. I have nothing against active bettors who participates in these kinds of competition but I don't like being forced to bet. There's a tendency to lose more since there is an added pressure of catching up or staying up the leaderboard. You'll shell out more than what you usually spend on gambling.

I used to avoid competitions and preferred to just place my own bets on sports to see how it goes. I was glad to win and sad to lose, and it was between me and sports. In autumn, however, I entered a Sportsbet EPL prediction competition, and after months of it going on, I must say that I do find it engaging when various people make predictions for the same games, and then I can see how other people are making their decisions and how they are performing as well. At first, I thought I had no chance there, but I'm currently lucky to be in top-10, so now I do care about remaining there

I prefer to play as a lone bettor when it comes to sport betting and I love to take part in slots tournaments especially when the tournament is the total number of bets which permits anyone to have a chance to win.

I myself would prefer and enjoy to place my own bets on sports depending on how much I know regarding the sports. If the sports involved is basketball or an e-sport games such as LOL and DOTA then I would be more determined to bet with my own knowledge and research about it as I trust myself more on those kinds of sports.

But yeah, It all depends on the sports or e-sports that we are betting on if I rather be a lone bettor or a competitive one. Also, it might depends on my emotions as sometimes I rather go over board with these kind of things.

I personally think that being competitive in gambling connotes such addiction to the said vice. It kinda ruins the experience for other players as it also defeats the purpose of being a hobby.

Before when I still used to gamble, I saw it as a hobby to relax and to get my mind out of things. Whenever I become competitive, it gives me a feeling that I need to win, which further causes stress. That is why, I gamble just for fun and for leisure. Anything more than that ruins the whole experience for me.

I agree. Being competitive is definitely not the measurement on who is the prime or the superior in the said game or specific gambling game. Being competitive is okay and definitely depends on the person yet you need to put it in the right place and right time so that it may not affect your gameplay in playing gambling. Sometimes, those people who are so competitive ends up making his image to boastful to others. I think competitive is a way to show people your determination and eagerness but it depends on others on how they will look at you. For me, personally I am not competitive in gambling. I am so nervous but I always believe in my calls.

acener, the pandemic is indeed a hard time to be close to other people. However, there are always some online tournaments which can allow competing with one another even during these times.
Saint-loup, it's a prize pool competition, so there was an entry fee, and then all these fees are added to the prize pool. Back when it started, it was about $45 to enter, and top-10 (1/4 of all participants) are getting winnings from the prize pool (starting at double the initial stake and moving up).
danherbias07, yeah, it's very hard to keep track of everything without people signing up, but some competitions have very few restrictions and conditions.

So it's another bet actually, you have to bet you'll be better than the other contestants finally... Because if you are bad, you lose the money of your bets AND the money of your entry fee. It's certainly more interesting when you're able to play with virtual bets or money, you only bring into play your entry fee finally.

When you are dealing with the casinos or dealers alone you are betting against a set of computer algorithms done in programming language and its generate random address.But when you are playing along with other competitors you need to have broader mind of concept and you learn tactics of other players from their moves which is really helpful for your future bets.Moreover I personally like to play competitor bets as its more interesting if you find a tough player against you and have a little bit of chit chat with him and you can increase your social circle.The casino always charge commission on winnings which is somehow profit reducing but still it's 2-3% of your winning amounts.Its your personal taste of playing.

Competitive betting only increases the profitability of the casino and not for us! It's like dragging you to the adrenaline game and inspire you to spend more! So I don't indulge myself into any kind of competitive betting. Definitely the reward is higher for the competitive betting but the risk is super high. For a light pocket gambler like me, it's better to enjoy my own wins and forget my own losses.

I feel that it is better if I play alone because I guess I want to avoid competition with the others because I know I do not have many skills to choose the team.
I know that in the competition will have many people who have more skills than me, so I think that will not be good for me as I will lose many times, making me feel sad to lose the money.
Besides that, if we play in the competitions, that can trigger us to play more and more, especially if we are losing because we can feel curious about the losing.
But the lone bettor will be good for me.

me either i used to bet alone and avoid competitions thinking that im too small for them but if im not destined to be poor and a small gambler, why not ?

i think ill have the guts to join in every competition that i found because if you are a big guy in gambling you are also going to get bored betting alone but your going to look for some multi play games and battles to make your betting experience more fun .

I think that everyone will eventually join a competition along the way, it is just a matter of time. I don't have any preferences because the competitive one in my opinion is a gimmick by the website to make more traffic in their platform and to have more players participate in betting, which is not that different to betting solo because you still bet, you just don't have the drive to do it everyday.

So far most of the time I have always made bets on my own against the casino and while entertaining I will admit that there is nothing like making bets directly with your friends or have small competitions with them, this is very fun but this requires that you have friends that like to gamble as well, and while gambling is getting more common thanks to the fact that now you can bet from almost any place in which you are, there are still many people with negative opinions about it and you do not know if your friends are one of those people and you could risk your friendship with them.

Competitive betting is only for the gamblers who can afford to lose a crapton of money and still be well-off after.it wouldn't suit a guy like me who still works a 9-5 to support myself. That being said however, the potential profits you can receive from competitive betting is way more big than in casual betting, so of course when you have the right funding and the right mindset, and you want to earn a huge amount of money through gambling, then competitive gambling is the way to go.

Because I am not someone who wants to compete with other people when playing gambling and also I don't care about other people's business.
Therefore, I am more comfortable as a lone bettor now, I don't know what the future will be. Maybe I can change my mind and want to enter
a gambling competition. Because everyone can change, but for now I still choose as a lone bettor.

I have love to play on my own several times, although that doesn't mean that playing around groups had been bad, they usually turn out bad for me, I have good results whenever I have my own secret forecasting and indoor predictions. Hearing comments and different predictions opinions from other gamblers gives me bad results and I always choose the wrong option to predict.

I feel you @kryptqnick! Competition adds excitement! But for competition, you need to follow promotions and to be active.. sadly I don't have time to be active on daily basis! Therefore I am a lone bettor... I bet from time to time! I have periods when I am more active, and I have even longer periods of not being active bettor!

@kryptqnick congrats on the top 10! I hope you will endure there and take some good position, and of course some good prize!

I can easily take my phone or computer, login into betting site that is reputable, pay in crypto and stake bet(s), I do not like to be a competitive bettor because I like to just do my thing online and bet with gambling sites, in this way, no harm, which I believe is the best than competitive bets.

I only play as a lone bettor that does have his own bubble when it comes to sports betting. I do get that the bonuses and the streaks will reward me handsomely if I meet the quota, but that somehow forces me to spend more than what I allowed for gambling which isn:t pretty good. I'm a bit OC when there are goals in whatever I do, and I always make sure that I get them, otherwise it'll keep bugging me until the goal is reached. It's just not healthy for me or my wallet, so I stay away from those competitions.
