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... Grin

!"
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?

with or without placing a bet, watching a soccer match with your friends brings with it a different form of joy and excitement. Most times, we do selections of games we're going to bet on at a particular instance and when you tell a friend not to include a particular team in his slip and he goes on to do so, it's always the case that he gets ridiculed in a funny way when the game cuts. If you're a fan of watching most of your games at a viewing centre you will notice the excitement that comes with it even when you're watching a game you've not gambled on. You know, there is way more to getting involved in football conversation and enjoying the kind of atmosphere that comes with it than just gambling.

Some people don't even gamble that much but when it comes to doing verbal speculation on what's going to be the outcome of a game, they're very good at it. They might not go to a physical gambling setting to place a bet or even gamble on a casino site. They just love enjoying the footbaling atmosphere at the moment and might just decide to gamble at that setting with a small amount so as to keep the vibes going.

I am more excited watching games with bets attached to them. As gamblers, we are used to expecting to get rewarded on our actions, When we are betting, we are excited on who will win and what will be the outcome.

It can still be a friendly bet, but the excitement is still there, When there's no bet, we are just half excited if our favorite team win, but if the competing teams are not our favorite teams without bets its like we are just watching and we don't care what will be the outcome.

It is always fun to watch football games with friends in a bar or betting shop. The atmosphere of analysis and argument makes it so entertaining that you wouldn't want to view games alone at home. Football is always fun with or without betting. But the fun of a live game will be complete if you win your bet. This is because, with the win, you can afford to pay for some bottles of drinks and go home with something.

Unlike in house games, we're even if you are playing against other players, you have to remain active and avoid any distractions all through, so games like football match where you and the friend are just spectators, you have little to nothing to contribute to the game.

People usually bet on virtual sports and I wonder how they derive fun from it since it doesn't look real. Live games make betting lively and entertaining. House games become an option when the major leagues have closed for the season.

Any sort of bet on any game makes it more interesting, but depending on the size of the bet would determine if my heart is racing while watching the game or not. You throw $1 on a game it's a whatever amount and unless I really like the team I bet on I am likely not too interested in the game. If you toss $1k on the game, no matter if I like the team I bet on or not, I will be 100% invested in every play of the game.

Entertainment value is priceless as far as placing any amount of wager on a game, the excitement level is there the heart pumping action is though.

Ofc with a bet. Though granted I don't think there's ever going to be that big of a difference between with or without since I enjoy watching the sport itself no matter what! Being frustrated on missing goals on dumb plays, watching some insane plays by players, getting to foresee what's going to happen, unexpected defense by the keeper and stuff like that. Those aren't really connected to the bet and those themselves bring joy and excitement to me. The bet is just ehh, kind of like a side thing. Not really the main course when watching sports.

Granted it does get heated up when I bet with my friends since it's on the same circle.

Both can be more exciting for me because I have experienced with both. I bet with my friend for a glass of wine and enjoy the game and the result of the match was draw so we pay the glass by ourselves Grin

In the other time, we just watch the next competition whereas we don't make a bet and just want to enjoying the game. Well, that is also exciting for us because we can enjoy the moment and feels happy because we can sit down together and other friends also come to us and watch the match. A friendly bet make watching soccer more exciting for us but that will depends on who your friends and how they can act with the bet. I mean they should accept whatever the result and not feels angry with other friend if they lost their money because that is just for fun.

Whether it’s betting online or placing bets during the actual game, it’s always exciting as long as the bet amount gets you pumped. If you’re a gambler, you usually have a range where you feel that excitement. If you get excited with just $1, that’s great(less risk for you).

This is why sports betting is so popular. It adds to the excitement of an already enjoyable game and also makes watching it, which is sort of a social event, more fun. I rarely bet when I am out watching football with a group of friends cause I do most of my betting online, but having a bunch of friends around and a few bottle of beers makes the mood so much better.

Always stake responsibly. If you are in a nail biting situation hoping not to lose your bet, you are staking more than you can lose. You only anxious moment should be potentially losing large potential winnings which are close to the finish line, and not your wager.

But personally, if I’m at a sports event with friends, betting around $50 to $100 would already bring some excitement. Of course, as I said, we all have our limits, so it’s important to stay within those limits without sacrificing the fun.

There is nothing as fun as watching a soccer game with a group of friends who are disagreeing with each other's choice of option, especially where there is a bet in between.

It brings out all the passion that both sides have for the team they support; it will get to a point where it will be as if you that place bet on the other team should jump into the television and show them how it's being done.

I do agree, it can get quite interesting and fun, if no hard feelings are intact for the bets made between the friends Grin

Good way to increase the excitement of the game is to bet with your friend on simple things like buying of drinks at the table after the match, this way you both can bound along with the game, while the match is ongoing, you be busy enjoying some cool drinks and a little tipsy will light up the moment, but this can only be done on sport bets.

Unlike in house games, we're even if you are playing against other players, you have to remain active and avoid any distractions all through, so games like football match where you and the friend are just spectators, you have little to nothing to contribute to the game.
