Yes. This is what I like (enjoying the game and supporting my favorite team).

Supporting your favorite team in any situation and condition in the form of a game is something that everyone, including us, definitely does.
In fact, I rarely even miss my favorite team's matches when they compete with any team.
And as you said, of course I separate the matter of bets (money) because talking about bets is talking about odds.

If the opportunity comes from the opposing team, then we have to think using the gambling brain, who is worth betting on, he will get his place. But maybe the number of bets I will use is less than what I usually use, because I also support my favorite team. and there are two advantages, when the favorite team loses then we will get a win from the bet, but when the favorite team wins we will get pleasure. That's fair enough isn't it and won't stress us out.

It is always good to bet with reason and not with the heart, sometimes we can say yes, that we will bet with reason, but due to adverse situations, sometimes we as humans get in the way of feelings, and sometimes feelings can help us. lead to victory or failure as the case may be, for example in a sport, in soccer we can be guided by our favorite team, even so if we bet against our team, because we see that it has many flaws, and that it is not very well, if we make the bet against and if the team wins? how will we stay? happy and sad at the same time...it's an ugly feeling, I don't know if anyone has experienced it.

As a gambler and a die-hard fan of a club that has been having a terrible season, would you bet against your club, knowing that their loss would be your financial gain? Or would you stay loyal and not bet against them?

I place a bet according to which team has a better chance to win the match. Even though I'm a Chelsea fan, I will never bet on Chelsea if they are against Man City or Man United. The chance to win against these teams is almost zero (0). Grin

So, when it is about betting, I don't care about my favorite team. We should understand that betting requires some money, so the result is necessary. In this matter, we must feel more realistic, we can't force betting based on our loyalty only.

You can see the situation so that you can be categorized as a wise gambler. Not many gamblers like you know what will happen and decide whether to bet or not. So, as you said, we must be realistic in betting and cannot be forced to bet, especially if we are in a difficult situation to predict who will win. We can choose not to bet when our favorite team competes with the opposing team but it turns out that the opposing team is very strong so the chances of winning are very small.

Some individuals see gambling as the way to ending their instability in finance but I see it as a means to add extra money to my pocket. What drives our gambling conduct? We obviously want to be able to make a considerable amount of money. As long as the opponent is heavier and has a better chance of winning, I can bet on my club to lose. My club is never an excuse for me to lose a game; instead, my goal is to meet the multiple or quadruple seizure of my deposited capital. For example, Chelsea's performance this season has been abysmal; I can't count how many times I've bet against the Blues while being a fan.

If you are a really die-hard fan (no matter how much you are into them), then I think it is not best to bet on the opposite team, but as a gambler, favoritism is not included unless you want to lose because you bet to win for that money, and if the odds or if the other team is stronger than your favorite team, then there is no choice but to bet on the stronger one because we know that our chances to win are huge. I am not a fan of football, but I do really like basketball, and when I don't bet, that is when I become a die-hard fan, but if I do bet, I do choose the team that has higher chances.

Naturally, if you are an avid fan of one club, it doesn't make sense to bet against your own favorite team, especially if you are a fanatical fan, of course you will always defend the club, whether in a match that you lose or win, but indeed If in gambling we find a high probability of winning against our favorite team, of course that is a wise thing, because the orientation is the profit generated, I think it is even more necessary to choose a club that has a higher chance of winning than forcing a bet on the team we like but the probability of winning is very small.
I also often do that.

It is not always our favorite team that is more powerful than another team; it is like they are very strong this year, but next year they are very slow and difficult to win games. Our loyalty is for sure still the same; we are fans of them and we support them. Like in the last NBA finals, which the Nuggets won, there are tons of people I've known who bet on them, but they are also fans of the Heat, which even though they still lose, they still support that team. But when it comes to money or gambling, that is another thing.

So, when it is about betting, I don't care about my favorite team. We should understand that betting requires some money, so the result is necessary. In this matter, we must feel more realistic, we can't force betting based on our loyalty only.

Ideally, in betting especially football we have to be realistic. if we want to win at a gamble, the first thing we have to do is put our ego aside. for example, like the cases we discuss in this thread. if the choice is not ideal, you should not force yourself to bet on our favorite team. things like this, usually will lead us to defeat. for example, Chelsea vs Manchester United, or against City. considering the state Chelsea is in right now, it's the same as us betting our money on defeat. despite the fact, in football anything can happen.

Well, in terms of betting. we should be neutral gamblers, I mean put aside the favorite team. even then, if the available odds are ideal and the probability of winning is greater than the opposing team. it could also, we ignore it and not involve the gamble. at least, I do that if my favorite team is going up against a tougher team.
For example, Arsenal vs City. even though playing at home, the probability of victory that Arsenal has is smaller than the opposing team. ideally, I wouldn't bet if I doubted Arsenal's win. or, I can choose the Under/Over option.

by the way, we agree with what you said.

Am not really a fan of gambling and of course a true fan of a football club would always give support to their club whenever they're having a match but on the other hand I would only be against the Club I'm supporting if they're underperformed or playing against a tougher and stronger team capable of beating them home and away, let's say I'm a fan to Leicester City playing and they're playing against a team like Mancity or Arsenal I won't risk my money on that knowing they're palying such tougher opponets.
I'll only support them if there performances in that particular season was great just like (2016) when they won the premier league.

it would be more painful if I decided to risk betting on my team to win and they lost so I'll avoid taking the risk. It falls back to their performance the better their performance the more I'll be willing to risk on them hence I'll bet against them if they ain't equal to the task.

With a gambler who are aiming for money, it's not important to bet whether it's their favorite team or not, as long as they see good opportunities and the odd is decent they will take that in hope that they will win the bet. But with those casual gambler who wanted to bet while watching, it can add excitement and enjoyment if the team that they love are performing and the bet have a better chance to win.

Sometimes it's really hard to bet against my favorite team but money matters. Depends on how juicy the odds are, I might bet against my favorite team as long as it's reasonable to do so. In case the odds are favoring my criteria and it happened to be with my favorite team, I will go that way.

I admit that even though there are times I understand the risks that my favorite team is on the verge of losing in their upcoming match, I risk some money on them thinking of the possibility that they might turn the game upside down and upset the considered favorite team in that match.

If that happened, a good profit is waiting but not always the case that I will repeatedly be doing it.

You always have a winner and a loser if such a situation were to arise. But it's also a moral thing, why gamble against your own team that you're a fan of? There are many games that you can bet on. If you are going to bet on your own team, bet on a win on your own team or at least on a positive market of this match. Betting on the opponent is actually asking for trouble in advance if you ask my opinion. I don't think many gamblers would do such a thing either.

Why not? As long as there is a good reason to bet against my favorite team, I'll do it. Become a fan of a specific team does not mean that we should always bet on them. Gambling and being a fan should be separated, if we do bet on our team just because we love them and we do not care about the probability, I will say we are taking the wrong way. I will even suggest you to avoid betting in the matches of your favorite team.

Actually, as gamblers, we certainly have a favorite club, but as gamblers, we cannot always bet on the underdog, even though we have to bet against our favorite club, but there are other options, such as betting on Asin Handicap.
So we don't need to bet against our favorite team and what is certain is that as gamblers we are just trying to make a profit.

That's right, because there are still several betting options that gamblers can take, not only on team wins.
This is a choice that gamblers can make without having to choose another team that they don't like.
But usually someone who really gambles for money never thinks about choosing which team they like because the main goal is to make a profit so they only focus on the opportunities that exist.

You are like me who sometimes choose Asin Handicap bets or some other options to get a chance to win without having to fight the team I like.

With a gambler who are aiming for money, it's not important to bet whether it's their favorite team or not, as long as they see good opportunities and the odd is decent they will take that in hope that they will win the bet.

In these cases it is difficult to separate the reason from the heart, and it is the duty to be, and personally I have never done it, well, only one day I tried to do it and I couldn't, I bet on my team even though I was going to lose, but it was my team from the national team, it is impossible for one to bet against the country one was born in, so that is why I say that it is very hard to separate reason from the heart, of course that is what makes us human and every time better , but sometimes when it comes to money we have to have an iron reason and see things in a more fair and technical way, it is difficult, but I have not been able to achieve it.

The emotion that we feel in our hearts is I think much stronger than the reasoning made by our mind. So just go where your heart says. I see that you lose your money but at least you are true and you support your country's very own team.

Even if they came up as a loser, they will still be a winner in your eyes because you know that they try their best to make your country proud. Not all people are the same. Some are not like you who don't see money as everything, so they can be able to bet on the opposing team because they think they are much stronger. They will never feel guilty about it but they will only regret once they made a wrong choice.

It's never a good idea to wager on your favorite team since Favoritism comes into play. Favoritism has been the order of the day, with gamblers betting blindly merely because they support their clubs, and never betting against their clubs owing to rising beliefs. There is no time to start debating whether one's club will win or lose; I do monitor the odds, and the team with the best odds has the winning odds in my bet slip. The aim is to be on the winning side at the end of the game. Of course, I support my club in every game, but when I know they have no chance of winning against their opponents, I place my wager in their favor. I'm a big fan of football, and also a Chelsea fan.

It's okay to bet on your favorite team as a form of support for them. And as for the bet amount, I think it depends on each of us because some use small money bets and some don't. However, to bet or not, it will come back to us. I don't bet for my team when their odds are not good against the other team but I will just watch the game and for me, it's a support for them even if they don't know I'm backing them.

True, as long as the probability is high why not because indeed in this case even though we are fans of a club but of course when talking about gambling it is clearly a little different.
Problems that occur because of doubts may still be possible because there really is a condition where we can have doubts about betting, but once again we must be able to distinguish that gambling and enjoyment of a club are different things, so these cannot be compared.
But in this case, if I really have doubts about the bet, then I would rather leave the bet than I have doubts about it.

A difficult choice. I think it mainly depends on how serious you are about gambling and how much money you have to bet. When it comes to a serious amount, I think the money takes precedence. But there are so many options to bet on and so many clubs to bet on, so why pick a match where you bet on your own team or bet against your own team? That is playing with the devil according to the proverb. I don't think that would be nice to watch if you have a bet against your team? You want them to win and then you don't.

If money is involved in this example, that makes sense to bet against the favorite team. Otherwise, why should I bet against my favorite team and hope it will lose the match so I can make money out of this deal?
If there is no money factor, I never go against my favorite teams. I usually don't like to bet with emotions but if I do so I prefer to make money rather than see that favorite team wins match, IMO.

In these cases it is difficult to separate the reason from the heart, and it is the duty to be, and personally I have never done it, well, only one day I tried to do it and I couldn't, I bet on my team even though I was going to lose, but it was my team from the national team, it is impossible for one to bet against the country one was born in, so that is why I say that it is very hard to separate reason from the heart, of course that is what makes us human and every time better , but sometimes when it comes to money we have to have an iron reason and see things in a more fair and technical way, it is difficult, but I have not been able to achieve it.
