I derive joy watching soccer aside bet, it’s just pleasing watching your team and the opponent play a tough game. I get excited at same time I feel tense like mixed feelings when placing a bet and losing the game. Although it’s not all about the bet but imagine your friend beating you just because the game never went as planned, it’s still fun because we get experience a level of excitement when watching soccer or other different sports.

When I go with my friend to watch soccer games, and we place a bet on who will pay the drinks. We get so excited and cheer for our favorite teams. We might even shout things like, "Go Mbappé, go brother...
!"
Of course, I’m not saying you should bet on every game before watching it... I'm just saying that human psychology is difficult to understand. Sometimes a 1$ bet or a drink can change the whole atmosphere...(as long as it's for entertainment)
How about you? Which gets your heart racing more: watching a soccer match with a bet on it, or enjoying the game without any bets?

I can't speak for everyone but I think it's psychological good if you bet on what you can afford to lose so you don't get carried away by too much emotion. If you bet on any game, your reaction should be normal and your interest the game should remain the same unless you bet on a huge amount that was going to hurt you.
Bet doesn't change my emotions during the match. If I bet or I don't bet, I react to how my teams played, I even move my body when there is some kind of action aspect like sliding to score the goal or heading to score the goal and many more. There was even a day that I nearly kicked my TV with my head when Victor Boniface scored brace for Bayern Leverkusen, I was in the mood as if it was me that has the game with me and that's how I react normally.

It does make the event I’m watching more exciting to have a friendly bet involved. Anything from who has to do the dishes to, well, anything you can think of. This is especially true if you don’t really care about the outcome of the event either way. It gives you a reason to want a team to win. If you have skin in the game, you’ll care more. Just how it is.

When Watching matches together with a friend or friends that have different opinions about a particular match, bets on that match creates some kind of suspense and excitement. Everyone becomes committed and so invested in the outcome of the match and that is why there are no dull moments throughout the period the match is being played. The whole purpose is just for entertainment as there will be no room for anyone to have any feeling of regret when the match does not end in their favour. The interesting thing about Watching matches with friends is that the match will always end with fun and excitement no matter the outcome of the match. The fun will definitely compensate for all bets lost.!"Of course, I’m not saying you should bet on every game before watching it... I'm just saying that human psychology is difficult to understand.

This is why watching ball in the public places are so captivating talking to random people especially opponents and supporters to create a remarkable experience with people around. The best place to have this kind of experience is in the club or bar especially when people are crowded.

If it's the team I cheer for, I don't need to bet on the match in order to feel the excitement and to shout the players' names when they are performing a promising play. Naturally I feel my heart beating, because it's the club I'm emotionally attached to since an early age. However, regards another teams I have a neutral stance towards, I don't feel the same, so a potential reward through a placed bet can boost my mood to develop an ephemeral connection to the team which is playing.

What I feel when the heart is pounding is watching the match while betting a large amount then this match will be more tense with mixed situations, whereas enjoying the match without betting may not have any burden this is just a cheer for you because it is too cool.
So you are betting on a match so when you see your favorite team lose there will be a sense of annoyance even though I know this is just for entertainment.
So what is more thrilling is of course there is a bet in it.

It is quite engaging and fun if the two groups of friends know how to take a joke. In this setup, one group is always bound to lose while the other can celebrate on their glory all they like. Sometimes, people couldn't take a joke and would be hurt by the snide remarks of those who won the bet. It's fun if everybody just gets on with it and not try to be a jerk or something no matter the result of the bet.
It's also great to share your passion with someone you know closely, and enjoy every games available to you at that moment. You can talk to them freely about the sport that you both know and like albeit supporting different teams.

Even if it's not a bet involved still my heart can go crazy if that match is important for the team for qualification or championship or something like that or else it would be just same as usual. There will be some extra eager to know whether my instinct about the game is right but that's usual way of seeing anything as per the human brain.
Friendly bet can end up disastrous too, let's say you bet $10 against your colleague or something and you won but they're saying it's just not real can make you temper and lose mind for a while.

This is one of the numerous bad side of gambling anyways. It can bring about malice and misunderstanding between blossom friends when they are not favored by the outcome of the results. It is not longer a news that as humans, we all have our own personal interests regardless of how close we are with our friends, no one is usually truly happy with failure.
We also have friends that can carjole our efforts and ridicule it when we fail, such friends tend to gaslight situations that could cause a slight provocation between friends who had gambled. This is one of the disadvantages of engaging in betting instead of just watching your games.

Placing bets like this is just so entertaining, and interesting, that’s where most people really have fun, people that places bet like this are doing it basically for fun, and not because they want to make money from it, and people placing bets like this don’t really get addicted to gambling, so when am gambling, I will prefer to place bet with my friends like this, because it’s always more entertaining, and interesting. !"Of course, I’m not saying you should bet on every game before watching it...

Yeah I do enjoy games when I place bets on it, and my prediction is right, which I will say most people do enjoy, but even when my prediction is wrong, I don’t really feel bad because I don’t lose much. The only people that won’t enjoy their game when placing bets are the ones that gamble with so much amount of money, which their mind is not always at rest when the game is on, because they won’t want to lose.

When I was growing up watching football, we never knew what bets were. We just watched out of our passion for the sports and the team. Our excitement were more of innate and not driven by a bet. It was pure and unadulterated joy. And we enjoyed the game. I shed some hidden tears when the passion was so much and my team lost.

Watching a match without betting = doing a flat activity, i wonder about these people, how can they watch without betting, there is no excitement there. Just imagine when yesterday Endrick scored a goal in injury time without betting, it would be empty. From my statement, we should all know that i cannot be happy when watching without showing partiality.
There are some people who don't like gambling and only alignments that they rely on to get happiness on their favorite team, they don't need to bet to get excitement at the match, as long as their favorite team is the winner and shows an extraordinary game it will give them happiness, not everyone likes to gamble on what they like like like watching football, the point of view and behavior of each human being on the same object must be different, you must realize that friend.

In my case, I always prefer to watch the games of teams that I'm a fan of, regardless of whether I bet on them or not. In some cases, I watch games involving teams that I bet on, but only when I see that the game will be very interesting. I don't watch games while drinking alcohol, because I hate alcohol. I haven't consumed alcohol since I was born. I prefer to watch the games while eating some things and drinking juice or tea. I'm very happy to watch the games alone and at home, drinking tea or juice and eating some things that I like. I find it annoying to watch the games in places where there are a lot of people drinking alcohol because from what I see, there are always fights in those places.

I will watch the match I really like or support as a fan. Unlike the match I bet on, I will not watch all the matches. But when you bet on the team you watch, there will be a feeling when you support it. Not only because we are part of the supporters of the competing team, but because we also place bets, of course there is hope and enthusiasm that drives us emotionally to win the bet. There will still be a feeling of more enthusiasm when you watch the match where you place a bet.

The answer is the most passionate and fun is to be able to watch football with friends and bet on each other's favorite teams, it adds to the fun and also the tension that is naturally obtained at such moments, and it becomes a rare moment if you already have your own family, because when you have a family it is quite difficult to meet with friends and watch football while betting with them.
Sometimes we don't need betting sites or casinos to bet, we use money directly and choose one of the teams in the match, so even friends who don't like betting in casinos can bet directly with other friends, but there are always friends who don't like gambling, whatever form it takes.
Not all of our friends will really be that interested on making out some bets but if you are a gambler and a friend who do have that same interest then good for you
but if not then you could bet on your own into those betting sites if you are really that eager to make up some bets to make yourself that getting that thrill.

Without a doubt the bet makes the game way more interesting, after all when there is some money on the line we cannot help ourselves but to want to get the win, so it definitely makes the game more interesting, especially if you are gambling against your friends, as not only you can get some money out of the whole thing, but you will also get bragging rights over them for a few days, something that is huge for any sport fan. !"Of course, I’m not saying you should bet on every game before watching it...

There's always an exciting and overwhelming emotions when everybody witnessed how their favorite team prosper along the game. Somehow it's frustrating when you didn't place a bet on preferred choice you have, but the fun and happiness will be the most important thing watching this kind of sport. Whether it's a win or loss, you still got that satisfaction when you saw everybody in your peer got so lucky while watching soccer game.
This is very correct. The most fun part of it is watching the game, and if your favourite team is winning, it even gives the watching another kind of vibe, especially when there are crowds of people, either friends or just normal people, that are watching the same match with you who are not in support of the same team with you. You can boldly be shouting at the top of your voice because your team has made you proud.

Watching soccer matches and bets with my friends actually i did that plenty especially when there were special events available such as world cup or Euro cup so almost every matches we were make a bet but basically we did that for fun and entertainment so that's why me and my friends not too serious and usually we bets only $2 or sometimes less than that amount but indeed i have to admitted that although we bets only using small amount of money but the excitement is different when we were watching the matches and bets on those teams because when i won my bets then i was very satisfied can beat my friend

Yes its true that when it comes to excitement then it wont be necessary for it to have money involved because as long you do enjoy then this what surely counts.
There would really be those individuals who are really that not wanting to have those kind of betting or whatsoever that in connection into it.
