Topic: Can you stake it all put of over confidence in your club - page 3. (Read 1500 times)

Another contributions is that some people are very emotional in their better because of the love they have for their club, sometimes is not that the clubs will do well or not is just they have made a lot of announcements that they value the club they are supporting so they can place any bet blindly even if they they already know that their club won’t won the match they will always want to try and see if their will be a little positive result and also sometimes the result are positive

Nope.

Your friend is not a responsible gambler, but luckily he won his very risky bet, I believe he will try do same in the future and hope he will be lucky like this time. However, if your friend can't control himself to bet on team just because he's a fan on that team, he will not going anywhere. If someone want to focus in gambling, he should learn how to control his emotion and focus on his analysis.

When there are fixtures where a particular team has a whole lot at stake, you can be sure to a very great extent that they are goin to make sure they win that game especially if its a determining game to qualify for a league or other reasons then you have a better assurance in the fact that a particular team is most definitely goin to try all their possible best to make sure they are able to win that particular fixture even if its by a single goal and in such case you can express such confidence an go all in because you have a good assurance that a particular team is going to win but then there are still chances it doesn't turn out the way you have expected it and that's how the game of football works.

In the case of your friend he was just lucky and then Manchester united was actually going to put on that fight back sprit because like i mentioned earlier there was something at risk which was their qualification so they are definitely going to make sure they try to win or draw if that will get them to qualify, that wasn't foolishness on the side of your friend as he only risked an opportunity moreover gambling is risk in it self but taking wise risk and not foolish risk. Another considerable reason we can see from your friends risk would be that he was watching the game and seeing the performance of his team he was assured they were going to be able to get something of the game so he went ahead to risk it.

Well, although he was lucky this time, I find his move extremely reckless. I'm not saying to not support your team, but to bet large amounts of money when the odds aren't in your favor and you're asking to get screwed over. I also support OFI; it's a local Greek team. I'd go ahead and bet on quite a few of their games; however, if I deemed that the match was too risky, I'd avoid it. That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm "betraying" them; I'm just protecting my money.

How much you support a team isn't determined by the amount of money you bet on it.

That's normal if they feels confident on the match they have already stake because they believe that the team will wins in the match. But we don't have to risks too big money to place our bet to that club because we must understand that everything can happens, even in the last minute of the match. If that happens, our confidents will ruins along that the lose from our team and we will lose our money. We can only place a bet with money we can afford to lose so we don't risks all of the money for that match. We can confident with our club but we don't have to be over confident as in gambling, we don't knows when we can wins but we will have a big chance to lose. We must becomes a wise gamblers that understand with the situation and condition so we can adapt with what happens.

I completely agree with all that you have said, at most times people tend to become over confident of club without considering the fact that there is possibilities of player to have fatigue, making him to have low psychology in terms of being 80 percent and above fit for the current game. However confident or over confident should never be a reason for backing up a game with huge amount, because a lot can be happening in the pitch that we don't understand, in as much as we needed to have certain believe of possibilities in terms of our club winning a game we shouldn't bet with an amount we can't afford to lose as gambling gives no guarantee.

Though I can't really call it foolish move because gambling is a risk which you either win or lose. Whosoever that is not a risk taker can never gamble, though it was a more risky game because from your explanation man united was already losing 0:2 to Liverpool that is why it was possible for the man united odd to have increased to 7odd otherwise it will have reduced to maybe 1.10 odd if man united was wining. So the higher the risk the higher the amount in return.

Yes I have realized that so many persons are so much confident on the match they have already stake, they always believe that they will win and sometimes it turns out the best for them, it really happens and they do take the action of taking all the risk to wait even some do see cash out in their game and they will because of the faith they have with the club and the energy they put into the club and they always make sure it turns out for good, sometimes it is really good to work with your mind and don’t put hope in other people.

Yeah he is not a core gambler, he just did that out of pure support and confidence in his team which normally would be against professional gambling ethics that would say you shouldn't gamble with over confidence cause you can as well lose your funds and over confidence can cause you to stake higher than you are normally supposed to, but yeah in his case its just a matter of little cash 5000 in my currency woidl just be around 5$ or close to that. So I think think he wasn't notorious at all just over confident and sraked to prove himself.

Oh, I wouldn't say it's rare, actually. I think something like this happens every day on this planet. There are so many people that engage in gambling activity, millions each day, so, I bet some of them doing something similar to OP's friend.


That's very wise of you, mate. I hope this habit of yours will not change even when you'll be able to afford huge stakes. Don't spend on gambling more than you usually spend on going to a movie theatre or a concert.

Most gamblers don't just know what they want in gambling; staking to win and playing for fun is different from fans love and support for their team.
 
Because I like a particular team, that should also be the reason why I should know more about them and be able to determine if they can win or not. Knowing fully well that they can't win in that match, I will either leave to place a bet on them or I will boldly place a bet on them to lose.
 
It's as simple as that: placing a bet against my fan team does not mean that I do not support them again. I just don't know to what level some people take this fan of a thing to which they can even decide to lose money just to show their support for their team.

You said something that many people should listen to and memorize, because during a football game, for example, we have seen fans of football teams fighting each other and even managing to get seriously injured, all because they can't accept that their teams lost. in the game, and those same fans who were fighting among themselves and were seriously injured are trapped for many months, while the fans who fought are trapped for months, the football players of those teams they are fans of, are in their homes winning a lot of money and they continue to travel and stay in luxury hotels, continue to eat the best food, continue to buy the best luxury cars while the fans who fought are in jail, eating poorly, sleeping poorly without being able to go out and without being able to see their relatives. and people still don't realize this, that the only ones who will suffer when things go wrong are them and not the football players



This is an image that shows how people keep expressing excessive feelings during games and end up doing crazy things because they are fans of the teams and don't think that everything needs to have limits, what did they gain from going to fight on the field? They didn't get anything good. on the contrary, they were arrested, while the football players are free and living their lives well because they were not violent towards anyone. This is the same thing that happens in sports betting, it doesn't make any sense for a person to keep betting money on their team's victory even though they see that this team will lose because they don't play well. It is unacceptable for someone to do this. There are already cases where people have reached an extreme level, something very sad. cases like these:

Manchester United Fan Commits Suicide After Weekend Defeat, Says Report

Nigerian Soccer Fan Commits Suicide After Losing Bet On FC Barcelona

I'm shocked to hear that someone keeps betting money on their team that they're a fan of instead of placing sports bets for fun and on teams that have a greater chance of winning, without putting any feelings into it. people should think about themselves

No matter how confident I am about a match, I can never back the confidence with a huge amount of money, which I know is going to affect me if I lose it. I will rather back my confidence with a little amount, which I know in case things go wrong, it’s not really going to affect me. We can't always be right, sometimes we will be wrong, and sometimes gambling is luck. A club that you never expected to win or lose might end up surprising someone. When you are confident about a match, then we should also be smart, don’t gamble blindly.

Nobody expected Manchester United to win the match, the result of the match was just shocking, but you should caution your friend. Next time, he shouldn’t be too confident about a match, luck won’t always happen, he shouldn’t get himself into trouble just because he has confidence in his club. If he loses the bet, I don’t really know what condition your friend will currently be in.

You are right, because good research will make your chances of winning closer and if your friend wins, maybe luck is on his side. However, it is not recommended to continue betting large amounts every time your favorite team plays because it is very risky because anything can happen due to many factors, even if you do very good analysis and research there is no guarantee that you will win again.
I have a favorite team and when my team is going to play against a much better team or my team is in bad form, I will not bet. Because in my opinion we have to know more about the condition of our favorite team, which means we have to think further about betting if the situation is different and not possible, and we also shouldn't force it just because it's our favorite team because that's very risky.

Personally, I see any ganbler that bet on his club because of favourism even when his team is weak, as a biased gambler. He is not gambling to enjoy the fun, but gambling to show that he does not bother to throw his money away on his club just tje show that he loves his club. Or maybe he is doing it to deceive people that he is a die hard fan of his club. The rea8why I said so is that even though, we are gambling for fun, we decided to gamble to see if we can win the casino's money  and not gambling to enrich them. No true gambler would bet on a weak club, because he wants to win and be happy with his bet. Winning brings out the best fun.

Once you do lose that control then it would something that will in result into loses or something that might go ahead further on which it would really be depending up on how well you do really make yourself do handle
when it comes to this aspect. There would really be a couple of factors on which could affect your decision making and just like on what lanatsa said above that if you are getting involvement with your emotions
on which you are ignoring those basic information or facts in between teams then you are just basically doing bets basing up with your emotion and this is something not that ideal.

When betting on sports then we do really have indeed our favorites but just like you said that if you are really that going after for making profits then you wont really be that
making yourself that basically blind on who do have the upperhand and who do have that disadvantage. So it would be always your call at the end.

Gambling that involves emotions is riskier than normal gambling, you have the will to gamble on something that you know will not get results as expected but the emotional factor has forced you to gamble with high stakes, all gamblers have a list of favorite clubs but they also consider the bets to get a win by analyzing the history of the last few matches to ensure their favorite club can win the next match.

However, I am happy that he won that bet but that gambling behavior is not to be imitated because he ignores control in gambling, someone should remind him to keep the winnings and he should gamble carefully before he loses all the winnings he has earned.

Analysis should really be applied and dont make yourself that having that involvement on having such attaching those emotions of yours on the time that you would really be doing some betting.
We do know that we do have our own favorites but doesnt mean that you would really be just making those blind bets or simply trying out to keep it straight into them just because you are a fan.
If you are really that betting on them to show up some support then its up to you but most bettors wouldnt really be attaching any emotions on which betting up blindly even if its
obvious that their team that they do like is really at disadvantage but well when it comes to betting then it would really be something that will be depending on you.
Its none others business on which one you would be betting into or which one you would really be liking on to choose.

When evaluating a decision we must always take into account all the possible scenarios that can occur, sometimes when we see someone doing something crazy and getting away with it, we may be compelled to try to do the same, but once you begin to think about it and you realize how unlikely it was for that person to get that possible outcome, then it is easy to realize that such an action was a mistake and we must not imitate that person as it is unlikely we will be that luckily.

When it comes to reconciling energy with prudent financial decisions in the gambling industry, I believe there are a few things to consider. First and foremost, create and adhere to a schedule. Determine how much money you are willing to lose and do not exceed that amount. Second, do not allow your emotions guide your decisions. It's easy to get caught up in the anticipation of a game and risk more than you are capable of losing. Third, make sure you understand the chances and don't place bets based just on emotional impulses. While emotion and enthusiasm are vital components of sports betting, they should not be the only variables you should consider. You should also utilize logic and reason when making judgments regarding how to bet. If you find yourself becoming overly focused on the money component of betting, it may be time to take a step back and reconsider your objectives.
