Topic: Club loyalty or winning bet? - page 5. (Read 869 times)

I love and support my club so much and I will argue with anyone who talks down on my club. I will walk under the rain just to go and watch my favorite club play every weekend and week days. But when it comes to placing a bet against them that will make me cash out I will go with the bet and win my money. The club is doing their business and at same time they are also entertaining their fans, so I will also do my business and support them as well. A dime will never enter my pocket if the club wins the Champions league, but I will still use my money to buy the new kits for the new season, so I have to go with the $500 because if the club don't win the Champions league, they made their own money as well.

No matter what we do it's important to focus on getting payed, I would go with winning the bet instead of following loyalty to my favorite club, at the end of the day if you stake a high amount of money on your favorite club knowing fukly well that their opponent is might give them a tough time only puts you in loss, these players are getting paid whether they win or lose a game, you can't always get moved by loyalty, to me I consider it as being irrational, it's almost like your deliberately throwing your money away

Betting on favorite club to win is not the only option to support. If it is obvious that favorite team or athlete will lose, dont bet, but instead, buy a tshirt with name on it and cheer during the game for example. Actually, I dont understand how loyalty and betting even work together. Clubs or athletes dont organize their own betting casinos. But if someone still feel somehow unfair after betting on opponent and winning, then this person can donate amount won to favorite club or athlete.

And that's the wise thing to do.

I am also loyal to one of the teams in a different league and there are times my emotions will get the better of me because of being a hardcore fan of that certain team. But, I learned my lesson after losing a lot of money on that series. We cannot stick to one even though it is obvious that they are going to lose the game. The odds are already in favor of the opposing team which means we have to think straight about our next decision. If a handicap is available, take it, sometimes it does help to win a bet, that way you are still supporting your team while having a chance to also win the bet.

From this situation i just remember about Drake and we have been discuss about this because at that time his country Canada was fight against Argentina at Copa America and we all know from whole conditions Argentina is much better than Canada but he still insist to bets for Canada although he know the possibilities to lost his money is quite high and it just happend that Canada lost and Drake also lost huge of money and some people considers he is risky taker but some of people too considers this is nationalism because although he know Canada will lost but he didn't betting against his country

Everybody know when people starting to do sport betting because they want earn money so sometimes we should be ruled out about being fanatic fans because if there is any chances to earn money from our favourite teams then as a gamblers we should be bets against our favourite teams but for me personally i am football fans and i do have my favourite team and i am not a fanatic fans but so far i never bets against my favourite team because if i win from them i don't feel comfortable

I kinda like the winning bets,  thus would not be biased to any loyalty when the name of the game is the potential  extra potential money in my pockets. Every once in a while my loyalty resulted in empty pockets, thus  I have found that it is hard to be loyal to anything beyond them, though I always gamble, fate will judge me.

if you're a regular visitor to betting shops you will observe that this is a trend that happens when clubs like Manchester United are playing against Manchester City or Chelsea is playing against arsenal. Most Chelsea fans would choose to stake in favour of thier club not because by the teams standard they can win arsenal but just to pump up thier ego that they really believe in the said club. For me, that's what being a sports man entails, you don't only support your club when it's obvious they can win certain matches, you support them at times when they are playing against a tougher opponent and even though they might not directly witness the effect of your support, thier is this joy you feel even though they loose the match that you've still supported them.

We've had countless experiences iny area when we're watching match and arguments will spring up and they will ask you question like, Did you even play that your club will win? its at that point they will know if you're a true supporter of your club. People sometimes just play such bet just to boast thier  ego but in the long run it's always best to moderate it. If you're playing a single game in a slip, you can choose to look at club loyalty but when you've got multiple games on your slip, it's best you really more on your analysis and not just your emotions.

Club loyalty is no bad a position to take for any gambler but if we are to analyze things this way where when the club loses a match the players are still paid their wages despite the loss of the game meanwhile for the gambler you lose your bet you get nothing because it's a lost bet. And it's for this reason, I'll will choose winning my bet over loyalty for club, maybe my loyalty to my club should be firm in times of banter between rival club fans but not deliberately betting on them when it's obvious in a game they are gonna lose especially when they are having a bad season.

My club will earn money from every game, and from every stage in a competition that they get to. For the UCL finals, the team that finishes second will still earn a considerable amount of money finishing second, so they are not completely loosing. It is somehow a win win. Also, since my club has won the UCL before, and not just once, it doesn't matter if they loose this time. A person who supports a club that has never won the champions league and may never win it if they miss their chance after getting to that stage in the competition may choose the club to win and them loose the bet.

Haha, I also experienced the same thing where having team that really like, but on the other hand are also gambler who likes sports betting, of course this is something that might be considered disloyal to the team are for favorite.
But basically, being fan of football team and also being gambler, have to be able to really have good attitude, we have to be able to consider everything more accurately so that we don't get disappointed and on the other hand don't lose the bet.
Moreover, our favorite team will not play every day and this is why there is always another team that we choose in the betting options in every match when our favorite team does not play.

In cases like this when someone says bad things about what I do then it is not something that needs to be thought about, the most important thing is that we really make one team the favorite to win the title and can still take advantage of all the opportunities in betting.
I sure that if they are gambler who really likes sports betting then they will also be sure to do the same thing by taking advantage of all the matches to be able to take opportunities and profits.

When it comes to sports betting we have to give up our emotions completely because if we hold on to our emotions we will lose our money. We may have our favorite club but if a strong opponent plays against our favorite club then we have to leave our club and bet in favor of that strong team as it will be more likely to win. If the club loses, I may feel bad for a while, but later on, if the club wins again, we will rejoice. We understand that it would be foolish for us to bet in favor of our club knowing that a strong team will be playing against us. It may be our favorite club but we must understand that the money that will be lost from our pocket for gambling but the club will not give us. If it is too difficult for us to bet against our favorite club then at least we should refrain from betting on that match so that at least one match bet money is protected.

I'm also on the same side as you OP, winnings over supporting the team because you don't easily turn down some free money. It's always better to go for the winning bet unless the team i'm supporting is the best in the league so I don't have to bet against them. Also, it doesn't pay to be a diehard fan and that other friend sounds unreasonable when his friend is just taking advantage of the situation to earn some money.

He really is stupid for having such thoughts. Money matters in gambling. Even if I'm a fan of that team, I'd rather bet on the other side if I see that my favorite team clearly doesn't stand a chance. If I ever bet on my favorite team, it's not because they are my favorite, it's because I want the high odds. One shouldn't do sports betting if they're just going to base their pick on favoritism.

this question has been asked and discussed many many times. Of course I completely don't care of my "favorite team" if they can win or achieve a loss since I want make money with my bet. Of course Best of option would be have both event (winning bet ... by favorite team) but this is not always possible and gamblers must be aware of that...

I agree with the second friend who pointed out that the first one was being stupid for wanting to lose a bet that’s up to $500 just because he’s a fan of the team playing.

There are games which after analyzing I discovered that there’s a slight chance of my prediction being correct because of the strength of both teams, I usually just favour whichever team has a player that I like and the amount I use for such bets are usually little amount so that I won’t regret going for my favorite player.

Between Portugal and Spain I did the same thing but used a tiny amount from my bankroll, it became more like a fun game for me trying to see if my favorite player (Ronaldo) would actually be able to win and make me keep my bankroll untouched or make me lose the amount I bet - if it was a bigger amount I definitely would have gone for the best team even if my team or favorite player was involved.

I just don't bet against or on the teams that I like most of the time (except for the knicks) but either way I don't bet against them.  Just can't do it.  I bet for entertainment and I watch my sports team for entertainment.  One would cancel out the other no matter the price so I figure what's the point.  I know people that do and just see them so conflicted when I watch the game with them lol.

Ordinarily I cannot question people for the choices they make, I try as much as possible to respect it, even though I see that, it doesn't make much sense. As for me, haven been a gambler all this years, I'm only loyal to my gamble as long as it pays me, that includes betting against my favourite team to lose, especially in a situation where I know that they don't stand a chance to win, this is gambling and money is involved, emotions has little role to play.

A passionate football fan, might find it difficult to wrestle through the murky waters of gambling as he/she will be too emotional to take strong and decisive decisions when predicting because he/she will find it difficult to place a bet against the team his supporting, forgetting that gambling goes beyond you being fan.

I am not even a fan of any club because I saw no reason of being a fan of any club. If I am a fan of a club and someone  asked me that I should take my club to win but that I would lose $500, or the club that I am supporting or that I am fan of should lose and I would win $500. I will choose to win $500. I can not afford to lose because of the club to win as the club can not afford to lose for me to win. The club does not care about me and I do not care if it comes to money.

To me this is an easy question, when gambling you should have only one purpose and that is to win your bet, if you think you have better chances picking a different team than the one you root for or you even bet against them, I do not see anything wrong with that and that does not make you less of a fan on my eyes, however it is clear that for those that plan to support their favorite team no matter what, such an attitude may not sit well with them, but let them think whatever they want, as you will be the one with more money on your pocket at the end.

My dear, these clubs are making their money real good and wouldn't gamble with any opportunity to make more money for themselves and the team members as a whole are living large. I would never gamble any opportunity to make my own money because of assumed loyalty. I would regret it for a long time if I ever tried that bullshit. Yes, that guy that would gladly loose the bet is not Loyal but very stupid 
The only loyalty I show my favorite club is buying their most recent jerseys and putting it on to viewing centers, watching their every match and following up every detail about the club and its activities. When it has come to giving me losses in my bets, it's not loyalty anymore.
