Have anyone ever had confidence in any match that he was willing to be huge amounts to back up the confidence in a match that features his club. A friend of mine recently shocked me with how much passion and confidence he had in his club, man u vs liverpool that happened on Sunday I guess was a very hard match cause Liverpool was already stomping 0:2 to man United but my friend was telling that man United won't lose the match, so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
That particular game between Manchester United and Liverpool result was so unpredictable, if you're friend had placed a bet in favour of Manchester United to win that game then he must be a genius to come to that conclusion. When people become too emotionally attached to the club they are fanning, they do things without emotional intelligence and that they say is the beauty of the game. For me that was not too much of a wise decision your friend took, but however this is gambling, the higher the risk the higher the reward, and so far he has benefited from the risk he took.

Your friend is a loyal fan of Manchester United and he proved it by supporting the club even when it seems they will lose the game. For me, gambling is not an avenue show my loyalty or support to my club because money is involved. My prediction will be based on my analysis and not loyalty. If I suspect that my club will not perform well in a game I will not stake on them. Your friend was just fortunate to win the game because everyone had already concluded that Liverpool would win the game.Tell him to gamble responsibly.
It wasn't over confidence it was reckless.
His action is not recklessness but he just had fun by taking a risk that is within his capacity. There are times when your analysis will fail because gambling is unpredictable. The guy simply took a risk and don't also forget that he won the game. OP didn't also tell us that he gambled with what he cannot afford to lose which means he is not an irresponsible gambler. It wasn't over confidence it was reckless.
Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
Gambling is like that and experienced gamblers understand it that way so they can take risk that you don't believe at any time and that could appear foolish in the eyes of non gamblers or doesn't gamblers that can't take such risk. Usually to gamble that way in a losing position, the gambler sees the money he is about to stake as a sacrifice that he has made.
Therefore it takes courage to gamble and to know that you already have slim chance to win is something not every gambler can do. So regards to your friend, I don't think it is just about his team Manchester united but either because he has studied the game and sees that the losing team is making good efforts at the game but only has not gotten there, so he had to bet on it. And as we know in football, they say it is not over until the final whistle from the referee is blown. He carried the day because he bet as sacrificing his money and that is the spirit some use to win unexpected bets.
.... so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
A foolish bet is when you bet without doing an analysis and the money you're using comes from your allowance or savings, whether it is a small amount or a big amount of money as long as you are comfortable with the outcome, it is ok to trust your favorite club and hope that they win in every game but it's not right in my opinion to bet money if your favorite has no chance to beat the other team.
It's ok if the chance is 50/50 with prayer and luck your team can win the game and multiply your earnings, I consider it throwing money if your favorite team has a slim chance to win, we should be practical when betting you're an average income earner, you can only do so if you're like Drake or Bruno Mars it's ok to guys like them to throw money because they have a way to recover money that they've loss.
... shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
There's nothing wrong with that as long as he is comfortable with the outcome and his loss did an analysis and he is not betting out of blind loyalty.
In my case I would not bet a huge amount of money out of pure loyalty, I prefer to lose making an effort on my analysis at least I put an effort and that effort will convert to experience in analysis rather than blind loyalty, there should be a line dividing loyalty and betting the right way.
I would only do it if it's a sure win. That kind of bet by your friend is not 90 percent of a win but he was lucky it went his way. It's foolish and that's because he is using his emotion to gamble. But it turned out fine for him and who knows, he might repeat it and make a mistake next time.
Never gamble with your emotion. That's one of the rules of gambling because most of the time it goes the other way.
He is a big fan so he would do that, I am a fan of a team too but will not be fool enough to put a huge sum of money just for it. I'd rather watch the game and cheer for them than be stressed while watching the game because a lot of money is in the line.

Foolish move in most cases but in the case of your friend is one of the rare cases with that saying that goes fortune favors the bold.By the way the game was never 0-2,was 1-2 for a long time and Manchester United only equalized near the end of the game so that was truly a fortune favors the bold thing.
In most other cases though people lose a lot of money and that damage their life rather than improving it like in the case of your friend.So it is a foolish move in 99% of the cases and I have never done that.

When it comes betting on your club on which you've been supporting then its up to your choice because each one of us would really be having that own perspective
when it comes to the teams that we are betting into. Some for pure support and some do really just stick into whose the favorite.
It's definitely not a good idea to take such risk on your team not minding how confident you are in their ability you still have to be cautious and apply caution because if you don't, you are definitely going to loose more than you can afford to loose.
Gambling responsibly is very important and that includes not keeping any bias for your team or another trying to exercise too much confidence because just at the verg of victory you could still loose and then you may be crying because you had expected another out come and not that which you got.
You are wrong. Gambling responsibly does not mean you should not gamble on your team to win. Gambling responsibly is about using the money that you can afford to lose to gamble. If you are gambling and you see a odd that you think can not be won and you gamble with it with just small amount of money and you are thinking that you will lose it but not affecting your emotion, financial life and other things, you are gambling responsibly. If you can not control yourself, gambling with huge amount and also gambling taking your time than necessary is when you do not gamble responsibly.

Just like the case of drake recently, although he's very wealthy and would recover I'm days but then it was actually such a huge amount to just stake on a team just like that even if you happen to be too confident, make sure to still apply caution a d gamble responsibly so you don't end up in regrets.

It happened sometimes. A situation where I get too excited or over confident and place a bet because I have favorite team playing or player in the match. But what I've come to notice is that most times it just doesn't play out well. I fell most times that it's better to calculate the upper hand than just betting on whom you like the most or favorite as some will say. I've lost some couple of bet due to this and I learnt not to always play favorite out of confidence because it's still gamble and gamble is about luck. When your luck runs out, your game cuts but if you have enough luck, you get to win. Still your friend was so lucky. Because I too had placed a bet on that match and lost. It nice to hear that someone got to play for his favorite team and got lucky.
A lot of gamblers more especially the football lovers have so much passion for the team they support that is why no matter the team they have as opponents, such gambler can never bet against his team though I see it as just passion for the club they support so being too confident about your club is still accompanied with luck because until the final whistle a team cannot be declared winner yet, so it's not a bad thing to stand strong with the team you support to the extent of betting on their behalf so it's normal but what is always advised is responsible gambling so that if it turns the other way round it will not affect your psychological well-being as a result from the shock of loss.
OP, confidence in the bet because "it's your club" doesn't change the probability of winning towards the gambler's favor. I'm very confident that if your friend makes the same "confident" bet everytime his club has a game, he would lose all the betting capital he has because the odds are already made to give the edge towards the sports betting service/casino. There might be some mistakes sometimes, but that doesn't happen often. Why do casinos and sports betting services continue to exist? Because they make money from plebs like us. It's a good business.
I cannot stake my on my club because I bet from a place of knowledge and informed decision. If I know that my club has been preforming poorly lately in the league and have been on a losing streak it would be foolishness to bet on them when I know that their opponents are better and are most likely to win.
Your friend made a very wrong decision even though the outcome was in his favour. It was just a chance occurrence that whose probability of repetition is 1 in a 100 cases.

First off. That thing you friend did was quite reckless, in my opinion.
I would never be that reckless or trust that much on a football team, never.
One must be a bettor who has some logic behind the bets and also keeping in mind one cannot bet only based on the raw feelings of passion one could have for an specific team.
If your friend continues a long that path, I am afraid it could be just matter of time before he starts to lose important amounts of money to the sport book and other gamblers with a better common sense than his.
Also, my national team does not have as much cache and good curriculum as many otherd around the world, so I would not trust them with much money if I decided to bet on their favor. All of thst goes against my common sense.

Every gambler, especially those who like sports betting, definitely has favorite team that they really rely on and no matter who the match will take place with, the belief in winning on the team they like will always be there.But not many can really have success with full confidence like that because many strong and big teams fail to win matches and many draws occur which makes gamblers lose their bets.
I also have favorite team that I always believe will win in every match, but betting doesn't always mean winning because draw is also often an option when betting money.
Bet if only rely on faith and trust, then in the end defeat cannot be avoided.
From what you said regarding you friend, I think he was really lucky because it is clear that Manchester United won only because they were lucky and this is the surprise in football match.
I sure there will be many football fans who are shocked and can't believe the victory that Manchester United got over Liverpool.

shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
I won’t consider this a foolish move if he confident that his bet will win despite the odds and the result becomes in favor of him. It only shows that he made the right decision on trusting his money to his team due to his analysis skills towards the club he made.
The only thing I find it foolish is the amount he bet on a gambling. No one should be all-in especially if the amount involved is life savings. On gambling like this which is analysis is involved I’m not surprised that people will usually have a solid confidence on their bet because they their own reason that backed it.
Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
Yeah! your friend just did it and there are still a few who'd do it. We've seen a lot of crazy news about gambling addictions and stuff like this in the internet, so this is nothing new though and again anyone can do it. Regardless of the outcome this kind of move is a foolish one. I mean, who would want to get broke in an instant just because he got provoked by someone to go ahead and put his life savings if he really trust the team he's betting with.
Your friend might gonna do it again and on the next or a couple of try guaranteed he'd get broke in an instant. So, if you really care for your friend, don't provoke his confidence again.

There could be more to him than meets the eye, some people are gifted and they can sometimes predict very right, I am not a huge fan of gambling but outside of gambling my beliefs have gotten me to the state that I am in right now. I have people around me that are now scared of my will and beliefs, because everything I turned out to be was something I used to tell them when I had nothing, I mean I ended up doing it like I said I would.
It's hard for things to go your way when you have nothing to show for it, even people around you won't believe it until you prove them wrong.
I just happen to believe that gambling will never go the way I wanted, because I see gambling as a way of the fools, its easy to be an idiot in gambling than anything else, I like real things and outcome than something that relies on total luck.
