Topic: Can you stake it all put of over confidence in your club - page 9. (Read 1491 times)

Is it a single bet with winning odds of 1X2? It ended up in a 2-2 draw and should have lost, right? If your friend bets on his favorite team winning. But I don't know if your friend bet for Manchester United to qualify.

Back to your main topic.
It's crazy to bet everything just for the favorite team, I also have a favorite team that will definitely win but I never dare to do this stupid act, what if the team loses, it could be that the favorite team loses especially in the Premier League match it is difficult to guess.

It is good when we check our decisions because we don't always make a better decision always. Whw we recheck our confidence about a particular game or bet can help us reduce loses that could keep coming when we don't test and recheck every decisions we take. I am seen many people bragging about there club of winning a particular match when it was obvious that such a win was gonna be difficult or the result is never certain. Emotions is one of the things that had been making us to keep being confident about our decisions even when we know that we could fail or lose. We need to always check and see if what we are having confidence about us going to fail us or not.

Yes, there are really people whose like this on which it would really be that something totally stupidity but well its their own money and their own beliefs and perceptions then just let them be.
It would be better that there would really be no kind of discussions on how he do make out those kind of consideration when making out some bets. It is really just that there are indeed people
who do shows up that extreme support or love into its favorite team that even if its obvious that it is already that an underdog or disadvantage but still they do decide to put up all in
on making such bet on which i could say that its never been wise.

Me myself on now  matter how to do i like a certain team or player then i dont really have this kind of consideration on making some forceful bet even if my feelings
and insights would really be that totally against with them.There's no point that you would really be able to make yourself having this kind of considerations.

Actually in this case my opinion will be that overconfidence is never be good for anyone. I have also lost my bets many time for only my overconfidence on that match. And it is obviously a foolish work if anyone stake all put of our confidence in any club. But here we may also be wrong that what we think is over confidence may not be over confidence because people place their bets from a prediction of their own.

it's obvious that it is a foolish move and I am pretty sure there are diehard fans who are also an avid sportsbettors who will do this.

anyway, there is no way that I'll do it, I'm glad that the result was in your friend's favor but doing what he did is just pure stupidity, I get that someone can be extremely confident with the team they love but betting a huge amount just because of it is just pure foolishness.

There's nothing like me having overconfidence in a team because they are my supported club, i will definitely loose and that does not make sense when i know their current strength and weakness and yet still go fir the weakness in them, in  other way, i will first sit to analyze their current form, see how they made up the team and also give assessment to their previous performances, then take my bet on them as accordingly to how i see the outcome could be.

I have been placing bets/gambles on sports betting for quite a long time, of course I have a favorite club/team that I aspire to, but in my understanding, favorite clubs and betting are two different factors, they cannot be combined, Gambling with idols is a different matter, you can idolize one or two clubs, but it cannot be used as a basis for betting, it could have fatal consequences.

Trust in the club, cannot guarantee that they will win the game, this is caused by many factors, therefore betting is based on field conditions, analysis, as well as against the club's opponents, It could be that the club we trust can be defeated by the opposing club, this often happens, look at the condition of our club and the opposing club, don't rely on that club as a trust so that you ignore the opposing club.

Your friend is a die hard fan of his club, and he has confidence in them, that was why when Liverpool was winning he still had the gut to stake against them. He is lucky enough to have won the bet, because nobody believed that United will turn the game around to their favor.

This is one thing with gambling, no one knows when our luck will shine and that is why we should not be overconfident in our bets, and use the amount of money that we can afford to lose, so that whatever is the outcome of our bet, we will be just fine. Your friend never expected that Manchester united would win the game, but it worked out for him because of the passion that he has for his club.

Having much confidence in a particular team iss not the best , because football is unpredictable and if you are to stake on the best team to win, it is better to stake with the amount that you can afford to lose because nothing is certain.  Sport, gambling are unpredictable and sometimes winning happens as a result of luck.  Their is nothing wrong staking your for your favourite team to win but it is important for one to play with a lower amount, because you are staking on the best team to win it doesn't mean you game will end up to win which will make one to play with an excessive amount that you can't afford to lose.

The question would be if your friend would do that for another team, for the sake of gambling. However, that's patriotism and passion for his team. Personally, I wouldn't do that considering the analysis of Liverpool players, it'll be hard to accept that they'll lose out on the game. And Man-U his team has been performing under average recently, which isn't the right decision for anybody. His instinct was quite right and accurate, thereby, igniting the feeling in him to do that next time. Gambling is fun when supporting our team, regardless of how down bad for scores they are on the pitch. But we all need to do that sparingly so, as not to end up losing all our funds. One may have seen that and would want to try it out. Which is a bad idea.

I could remember friends being laughed at for betting against their team. That's wrong from the perspective of other gamblers. Yet, if one feels his team wouldn't win, he can stake against them and win. Instead of ending up feeling sad about the game, entirely. The team lost and his money was gone. So, players shouldn't be blinded to wager only in favor of their team. They also need to check the strength of the other team before wagering lots of money. That doesn't change the fact we are a fan of the team. It's just what people around us would say and laugh over it, but what matters is our emotions and money. Being real to the game, and not just picking sides, even when they're losing.

Regardless of what he believes and the actions he takes if it is based on personal analysis and uses the money he can afford to lose in one match in my opinion it doesn't matter, however the decision he makes is in accordance with his wishes and his ability to bet. but yes the amount of 5k for most people is not a small amount, but if for him it is ready to lose it in one session of the favorite team's match, in my opinion it doesn't matter what, even if $100k you bet, as long as it is with personal readiness and the money is a small portion of his money per month from what he earns.

You have to ask a community about this bad decision, this type of wrong decision has already been discussed before in other threads, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's a wrong decision,

In fact, I saw that entire match, It's as always with LP matchs, you have to wait for the final whistle

I believe he believes on the team that it will really win despite the setback on score. Loving a team and believing that it will win is a different thing. Believing to the team means you are assured to their potential that they will win the game due to their player skills is better than the opponent.

Loving a team is just like tossing a money just for self satisfaction of imaginary supporting them through the bets which on this case the friend really believe on the bet since he place bets on a low chance of winning scenario on this match.

This is the difference of having a good skills on analyzing to just being a fan boy.

Actually there are people who love staking on a game like that, however your friend had already seen the determination of Manchester United and chances of wining that's why he was that confidence to bet on them and also I don't think betting on them was because of the passion he has for Manchester United but was because of the possibility he saw on that match that was actually what propelled him to stake the bet, also perhaps the money was not much of a good use to him that's why he decided to take the bet but I don't think passion was his motivator because is very difficult for someone to use there hard earned money to stake on a club they knows that will lose, however in terms of having confident on a particular match sometimes could work out because irrespective of how difficult it is to be certain about a particular club but there are some matches that we can say wining is certain so most people use it as an opportunity to stake all they have in other to have a good return.

Your friend was pretty lucky to have won, if not he took a big risk. Although I feel he was just trying to prove to you how much he love Manchester United his club. I guest he didn't mind losing the money for love of his club. but if it where to be me I would not try such a thing, what if Liverpool continues beating them maybe 0.4, in the end he would have lost it all and still become ashamed of his club for disgracing him, while he was the one that took the betting to another level.

Both you and your friend made a wrong move in this situation. If anything negative had happened, you are responsible for it because you push him to prove his confidence on his team and he prove his confidence in the wrong way. Responsible gambling is everyone's responsibility and if your close relatives or friends engage in reckless gambling, you can do all you can to help them but you did the opposite here. The amount is not too much to lose even if he lost the bet but the manner in which he gamble with the 5k is very inappropriate. There is nothing you can tell me to convince me, that's obviously a blind risk with no calculation and would be definitely regreted if he lost the bet. There's no fun in proving someone wrong in gambling.

We won't agree to see anything wrong about his action and that's because the outcome was a favourable one, he won and that's what every gambler what to hear. Justifying a stupid action because the results out of luck turned out to be fine is not proper. We should also look at the other side of it, how probably he lost it on staking that amount the story here would have been a different one but instead a lot of persons are praising him for taking an uncalculated risk

I'm a Liverpool fan, and it was very painful for me to see this result in the end:



However, your post has truly brought joy to my heart. Seeing firsthand how someone has benefited greatly from it has been immensely uplifting.

Was it a foolish move? Maybe. But it's especially satisfying when we win due our foolish moves, innit?

It will only be a foolish move if he cannot afford what he is about to lose. I guess your friend also knows what he is doing and he ain't just a fan. He won! Just be happy about it and don't question him.
There are gamblers who just like to be praised whenever they win, maybe that's all he needs for now.
Look, there are also gamblers who bet higher than those amounts, will we also call them foolish? He took the risk, I think that's a courageous thing to do and he probably has more money because he is confident with his bet.

In sports, it's okay to do that rather than wasting the same amount in casino games where your chances to win are very low. Even if you divide that number by 1000 and play casino games that long, you won't get as much as double your capital in just a short span of time, or worse you will never. It's not easy. And, you cannot bet just once going for all in because the chances to hit a low multiplier or a zero is damn high.

It depends if you're a risk-taker and it doesn't bother you betting a huge amount of money out of fun and in support of your favorite team, but if you're gambling based on your allocation, it's not a good idea, it's blind loyalty and blind loyalty is not good if you're not a VIP or do not have enough money to throw away.

It's fun betting out of loyalty and challenging yourself if your favorite club can do an upset, you should be ready for the outcome if that's your choice.
