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?
Wait, are you going to say betting as much $3.65 (5k Naira) was the craziest thing your friend did on the Manchester United vs Liverpool match? This may be a large amount for your country's currency, but if you discuss this globally where the USD is the dominant currency, it is not worth it.

Some gamblers bet tens of thousands of dollars on the game, some even hundreds of thousands. I can't imagine it's a big danger to your friend especially since it's only 5K Naira, let alone the conversion value to USD is very small. It wasn't anything crazy or stupid, unless it was something that kept him from eating for a week.

I was just like that when I was new in gambling, whenever I am confident with the match up I would stake it all or bet a huge amount.
I guess I stop doing it after losing on match that I had high hopes on, and learned to control or limit my bets even if I know that the chance of winning is high.

Basically, everyone is free to use the money they have as they wish. do you want to use it to place bets or something else. However, this is very important to pay attention to, is this a good thing to do or not? And have we considered the risks involved?

And for me, placing a bet of 5k on a football match would be a very risky action, especially if most of the money being bet is someone else's wealth. Even though your friend feels quite confident in his prediction, he must remember that the outcome of a match is never certain, so there is a big possibility that he will lose the money he bet. And if someone makes such a bet, it is quite important to ensure that they do so wisely and with wise consideration.

Placing large bets on football clubs, this may seem fun at first glance, but if this becomes a detrimental habit, then this could be a danger sign for something even worse. Betting with an amount of money that we are ready to lose is a necessity that we must apply every time we place a bet.

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.

Well I don't know, but the impression I got when I read the thread was what's the definition of staking it all? Because I know I can stake some fraction of cash for any team that I love despite even if they are losing besides that's why it's called fun gambling but if it's the other way round by risking a huge amount or something I know will affect me when the loses come then you can definitely count me out

You're absolutely right. Gambling should only be about fun and recreational purpose and nothing else, that's why it's advised for people to always have this at the back of their mind, because it is only when people view gambling as a means of multiplying their fortune that you see them taking unimaginable risks all in the name of trying to win big or trying to recover the money they have lost. i like the instance you sighted about yourself betting on the team you love whether they are winning or losing because at the end you've still had your own share of fun without taking any risk or breaking your bank. this just reminds me of something i saw online about a person who said right now the only sport he bets on is boxing, because if he wins he gains and if he loses, he still gains because he will be satisfied knowing that they beat the hell out of the person that made lose money.  Grin Grin Cheesy

Always gamble by utilising your head, not your heart. Your club doesn’t give a damn about you so don’t risk your finances betting on them to win.

Sure, support your team, be passionate but don’t regularly bet on them to win just because of your love for them, it’s a guaranteed way to lose money.

Exactly you said something right and in accordance with the facts, basically the team you favor will not care about anything you experience there, so all decisions are in your hands which means all the impacts you experience on the decisions you have made are all purely risks that you must take responsibility for yourself and no one else or even your favorite club will care about anything you experience. Therefore, of course, calculate everything well and consider carefully.

Simply put, if you are not able to take responsibility when it turns out that at the end of the session you lose, then it is clearly better to just watch your favorite team compete without betting at all because this way you will clearly not lose unnecessary money if it turns out that you really lose. Basically, it is not a problem to bet because after all it is purely your own money but the most important thing is to bet something that has a high probability only, or in the sense that if for example you believe that your team of pride can win against the opposing team based on the track record of a team then it does not matter.

I bet for my favorite club but not too big I bet as much as I can afford to lose because I can never guarantee which team will win I like a club but there is no guarantee that the team will win. so we should always be sensitive when it comes to gambling so that we can accept losses very easily otherwise they keep giving us mental pressure. so i wll tell that it is really foolish to bet big amount for fan club with confidence
Gamblers that bets on their favorite team might not feel bad even if their team loses the game that makes their bets to lose. What I understand about people that bet in their favorite team is even if the team loses they will not be too angry on it because they are their favorite and they will always support them even when they didn't perform so well on the game..
Betting on your favorite team might not be bad even when they are losing your the games for you, as you are keeping they team as your favorite you can always be the one to support them even if they are losing for you.

There is something that I want to let us know especially way that is into gambling because when you are a gambler you will know that gambling is unpredictable that is why there is no Club that you can betfully that they will win their match with the confidence without having that fear of losing because you know that you may have the full confidence that this particular Club will win the match at the end of the match another club who you think that we lose win the match that is why it is called prediction because nobody knows what the match will result out at the ending
You might be having those favorites or teams that you would really be betting on but doesnt mean that you would really be sticking in betting into them specially if they are underdogs or someone whose really that at disadvantage. It would really be just that too impossible that you wont really be able to determine on which one would really be that worth to bet on and which one should be left behind. If you do still bet into your
team despite of that disadvantage then you would really be definitely still betting then this is something that do talks about being a die hard fan or having that loyalty but this is something that would really be just that depending on you on where you would be betting.

Going all in for your club? This isnt something that i dont do because once i have seen that disadvantage then it would be just common sense
on where you would really be placing your bet on.

It seems to me that almost every gambler from time to time risks more than he can afford and of course from the outside it looks very reckless, but such winnings perfectly demonstrate that in gambling a lot depends on luck.

Lately I try not to take such risks, because for me $5k is quite a lot of money, which can bring a good profit with less risk than betting on sports. I satisfy my gambling needs even with $50-100 bets.

No buddy, actually this has never happened to me, but it has happened many times in which I have full confidence in the matches, even though I won the betting with very small odds. Because most of those results can be predicted in advance, like an weak team against with a best team. Moreover, I have never given such a big risk due to my overconfidence, due to overconfidence I took risks but it was with small funds, and lost them.
Now let's talk about your friend. Even then your friend was win that bet I will not gonna say it is a good Idea, Overconfidence is never be good things and of course, in the sector of gambling, its becomes more dangerous.

Your friend is a crazy man; no sane person will do that unless he is really that confident that his favorite team will win. Personally, I would not do that since it is very risky. Even if the opponent of my favorite team or club is the lowest seed, I still wouldn't do that. Maybe for a lower bet, I would, but with that amount of money? I would probably just keep the money. I think that is the essence of gambling; you do not know what the outcome of your bet will be; you just need to keep faith and hope that your bet will hit. This gives us the thrill and nervousness since a lot of money is on the line, and that is how some of the gamblers view gambling as fun. 

Anyway, congrats to your friend for winning. I hope that he won't be greedy and do it again  Grin. Just be careful next time. If that bet did not hit, he might be depressed right now. Lucky for him, the team won.

May be your friend was just lucky and won the round. It doesn't always happen like that.
May be your friend knew something about the match that others didn't know.
May be your friend is an expert when it comes to sports betting.
It can be anything but one thing that is firm is that the odds are not in our favor all the time.

Risking it all or staking it all in gambling is a bad idea.

I don't want to know what you are risking all your money on, either on yoit favourite club or sports, its a bad idea to risk everything you have, most importantly on something you dont have total control over.

Gambling is all about luck, I dont know why anyone will risk all they have on such thing, its obvious that losing is going to be way more easier in this than winning, all the signs are written over gambling but stupid people still think otherwise.

I will never do such a thing for the love of any sports or team, I crave for gambling entertainment and that shouldn't cost me or anyone too much money, I don't gamble to have a life changing opportunity, I gamble to make few bucks and also have some great time.

Betting on your team just cuz you love 'em? Ok, gutsy move, but let's be real - that's more like walking into a hurricane hoping for sunshine.  Your buddy dropping 5k on Man U down 0:2 to Liverpool? Was that a smart gamble, or just blind luck?

Look, we all love a good underdog story. Believing in your team is part of being a fan. But betting the house on it? That's not strategy, that's chasing a thrill. That rush when an insane bet actually somehow pays out...it's addictive. It's NOT about being some tactical genius

Of course, some folks have money to burn, and if they get that high from the risk, power to 'em. In the bigger picture, betting is all about that unpredictable chaos we crave as fans, just concentrated into a ridiculously risky moment. Was it foolish? Probably, but hey, sometimes football (and life) makes zero sense, right?
0:2 and putting up 5k on that point? Thats suicide for sure and even if you do say that you are really that a fan of Man U but it wouldnt really be ideal that you would really be making out such kind of bets. Its never been worth and its never been wise unless if you are really that having an intent on burning that 5k in thin air without worrying then its just fine but if you are expecting something
a win and you do go all in because of soo much trust then this would really be a problem. If it turns out for you to win then thats lucky but if not then you would really be ended up on great disappointment and frustration on which these emotions will really be the main thing that you would really be able to feel out instantly.

Yes, I believe that their are many gamblers out there that can do that, as long as they have confidence in the team they are supporting to win the game, but the major problem attached to taking such risk is that, mostly, when you stake such huge amount of money like that, it's always a money you can't afford to lose, so if it goes wrong, like the results doesn't goes your way, it's affect you as a person psychologically, so it's very important you stake with an amount you can afford to lose, so that psychologically, even though it doesn't goes your way it wouldn't affect you.
Yes, taking such risk that can't be accepted by many gamblers because some of them aren't managed the risk and place a bet for a big money. They thinks that if that is their team, they should gives a big portion to bets so that's why some of them place a higher bet than before. That will be okay if they can accepts the risk and not complain to anyone if their team lost but most of them can't do that and will be angry seeing their team lost. It's all about how you can prevent the big lose by always limiting your money to place bet and only use the money you can afford. That's what you must do if you want to playing gambling, especially in the sports betting because the tempting to win big will always be there. If you can be careful, you will lose much money that you can't imagine.

Leo is resting.
Personally I will say that the only reason that will make me to stake very high for my team to win is their performance in their previous games, your friend was lucky not to have lost his bet because the performance of Manchester United isn't good at the moment and the top three teams in the EPL is very ready to beat any team they come across because none of the teams want to drop points nor lose out of the title race. I am a Manchester United fan but I would rather bet on Liverpool to win if it was a league match than Manchester United because they have a better squad and a better performance this season than Manchester United. Just a moment op, did your friend actually place a bet on Manchester United to win the game or his bet was for Manchester United to qualify to the next round because the game ended in a 2:2 draw before they went for extra time.

I have a message for your friend, let him know that is is lucky this time around, if he try to use this same strategy again he will lose his money, people tend to get used to a strategy that worked for them once, they always believe that it could work again.

In fact, there is no such thing as strategy in gambling, if you can believe this then you will be a smart gambler, what are you strategizing on? Luck? Who can? There is no man that has total control on luck, such power never exists.

All you have to do is your best and leave the rest, and thats by risking what you can afford to lose, do not rely on any strategy because none existed in this gambling space, all you have to count on is your luck and you can lose, thats why you need to risk very small amount.
