Topic: Club loyalty or winning bet? - page 6. (Read 878 times)

Everyone is free to do what makes them happy. As for the die had fun if he feels that betting against his club would make him on happy day he shouldn't bet and he shouldn't discourage the next person from betting because loyalty differs from one person to another. If there are no financial rewards attached to be a fan of a football club as we can see, then I see no reason why I shouldn't bet against them when the chance is of me winning money is high. I may be passionate about a club but I draw the line when money is involved. Even some employees of the club with bet against them.

Me too, I'd choose to win than to see the club or team that I really like win. If it is about our bets, we have to secure ourselves first.

We don't need to be a diehard fans for us to be called a fan. The club will still earn even if they lose to a game. But us, we'd lose money when they lose and we don't have salary after that.

Loyalty is within the hearts but when money is talking and you're betting with or against them, yourself and your bet is what you should prioritize.

Some fans are always fanatical about their favorite team and they are even willing to spend money for anything that is important for the favorite team to win the champions league title, but it is too ridiculous for me to lose $500 because for me it is big, I will bet on any winning team even against the current with the opposing team not the favorite team.

Is your friend a Real Madrid or Manchester City fan? If he bets on his favorite team winning the championship is still very possible because these two teams are still likely to win the title.

The main reason why sports bettors fail is due to loyalty to their team. We cannot be biased and just trust our team because it will not work in the long run. Bookmakers see that and believe that the majority of bettors bet with their heart and not with their mind, which is why they set up a line that could easily attract them. In fact, that line is just a trap, resulting in more losing experiences than winning. If we can't analyze with our mind while betting, we should just stop it and simply watch the game, enjoying rooting for our team without risking money.

When to see fans breaking TV, valuable things from their home and other useful things, it's not because of their loyalty for the club that is making them angry, some of them are high risk gamblers that think they know too much about their clubs and when they bet money on their club and the club do the opposite of what they don't expect, they go loose and act like a crazy clown but I don't blame, too much risk is what makes them behave in that manner.

Loving club is one thing and winning money is another different thing entirely, you can't be supporting your club when the are playing nonsense and you know very well the right thing to do. If you think the are going to lose and you are sure about that, don't ever make mistake of thinking because you emotionally think they will win or believe in them, you decided to change mind, your money will burn and you will win nothing.

Just let those people do bet according into their emotion and not really that wanting to take up some consideration on picking up on which one does have that higher chance of winning.There's no way that we could really be able to make them getting convinced that they should really be having that another approach on which it would really be that understandable that you would really be needing up to stick into those bets
on which it would really be that likely to win up the game. It would really be just that too impossible that you wont really be able to recognize specially into those highly favorite on which you would really be that assuming that they are likely to win but since you are really that a die hard fan with the other team then you would really be choosing it up instead.

Well, its not really that on someones business on where you would really be placing up your bets since its your money afterall but we do know that when it comes to odds of winning then highly favorite
would really be able to win up. Even on just basing with your own analysis and approach then high chances that you would really be losing up a certain bet. But somehow minding up about possible or potential
comebacks or upsets then this is where you would be also making up money on going bets against favorites.

I try not to bet against my teams, especially the national team, but if I had to make the bet, knowing that the team is weak and will probably lose, I'd bet against them.
It's stupid to sacrifice money to later brag that you are a real fan who will bet even against all odds. Why would you lose money on purpose to prove how tough and dedicated you are?
The way I see it, if yo feel bad about betting against your team, don't do it. If you don't, do it, it's just a bet, your team will not care. The players get a lot of money for that match even if they lose. 

Sports betting isn't just about loyalty. It's also about the money. For some people, winning a bet is everything; financially and personally. While loyalty means a lot, it's also logical to mind the financial aspect of your betting. And everyone is entitled to their own priorities and what drives them to place bets. But realizing that betting does involve real money is one step closer to responsible gambling. Loyalty to a favorite club can indeed drive us emotionally, but we also have to weigh our betting decisions financially. Placing those wagers with a clear mind and being wise will help keep that balance between emotional support and healthy financial management.

Actually it's true because some of these set of gamblers that don't care how much they are risking on the team they support is becoming weird. However it's important to know when to gamble or not because when one gamble because of the kind of love he/she has for the club it makes it worse because to decide when to bet on them or not. Because it's the club they supports they won't check their performance they will just bet because they believed that the club will perform well. But it's important for them to know that game is not like that, most on tournaments, every club wants to win and if you are underestimating the opposite club on any tournament it might not end well for them because the other teams also want to win and take the trophy. So am only trying to say that it's not too good to decide on a game based on the kind of love you have for them.

Besides entertainment, betting on sport is also a venture to seek to pocket some money,  depending on whom one asks, that is something positive or negative, but keeping that part aside... I think it is more logical for us as bettor to give priority to profits, rather than just focusing on whether we personally like or not the team we are betting against.
Though, I would perfectly understand in the case someone would not dare to bet against their beloved national team and decided not to bet at all, instead.
Betting and gambling have both much to do with the way we control our feelings, and this specific escenario we are talking about is a good example of when we are supposed to have self-control and take a choice.

This issue has been discussed many times here on the forum. And it still stand as a very important topic of discussion. A lot of people take this fan club thing to a very high extent, which to me is very unnecessary. Yes you can be a fan of a very good club but then not all match will determine their win. So we shouldn't be stupidly blinded by the love for a club and want to loss to them. All these won't even matter to them. When we place bets, our goal is to be on the winning side and not just because we like the club but so we can make profits from their victory. So we shouldn't be so loyal to a club even when they are losing, it makes no sense

Well, that's subjective and your friend who will choose to support his club rather than making profit might be happier in such way and we cannot blame him not call him stupid for doing so; we are doing everything for our own reasons. If choosing the profit will be better on your end then that's fine and should also be with the other way around. This is a matter of being a fan and being a gambler; if you're more of a gambler then it's normal for you to favor what will give you profit than to be firm with your bias or fanatic. On my end, I would also choose profit but I still do understand those who won't.

We have our own reasons; some are gambling to make profit but there's a few who are here for their entertainment and that includes accepting loss for the sake of enjoying your bet. Imagine how great his feelings would be if his team would win. He'd for sure feel good of himself and that's priceless to some people which makes it valid, subjectively.

Sports betting is a very passionate type of gambling. This is because some gamblers are supporters of a team or contestant before even placing bets on them. Some fans are so passionate about a club that they can risk betting on them even when they know that they lack the quality to win the game. They don't care if they win because they want to show their loyalty or support for their favorite clubs or teams.

A few days ago, two friends who were gamblers were discussing, and one of them said that he would be willing to lose a bet that would make him cash out $500 so that the club he supports could win the UEFA Champions League this season. The other one, who is also a fan of the same club, said his friend was stupid. He said he prefers to win the bet and doesn't care if the club wins the Champions League. The other diehard fan told him that he was not loyal to the club and was not worthy to be a fan.

I am also a fan of a club that I love, but I would prefer to win a $500 bet than to see them win the UCL. My loyalty doesn't supersede my quest for gambling wins. What's your view?
