Topic: Does a friendly bet make watching soccer (or sports) more exciting for you? - page 2. (Read 405 times)

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

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.

Well for me I think it works better then other way round. So rather than saying a friendly bet makes watching soccer or other sports more exciting, I will say watching soccer or other sports makes a friendly bet more exciting. The reason is quite simple. If you check closely you will notice that people that love sports betting a lot are usually those that Also love sports a lot ,and most of the time these persons profit from sports betting more than their regular counterparts who aren't sports lovers.

People who watch sports find it fun and easy to place bets on them because they are usually more confident since they literally have a nice understanding of how good the teams are coupled with the potential they have. All these contribute to how they predict the outcome of different games.

Totally depends on where you would be happy at and same goes with your friend that whose with you on which we know that its not necessarily important that money should be involved but to spice things up then you would be coming up with that kind of idea on having those kind of bets. If your friend doesnt really like on having bets then there's nothing you can do but to play along and agrees with it, but if your friend which does have that kind of similar behavior on wanting to make things spice up a bit then betting into those games will definitely be likely that you will be placing something in between on which this isnt really that shocking i should say.
We do know that there would really be those individuals who doesnt really like on making up some betting and would really be just that normally wanting to see those games results without any bets.

We cant be able to deny that having those monetary bets will really be having that kind of thrill or could be adding up some kind of excitement since you do know that you could win up something.
They key on here is on have fun and entertainment on which it doesnt matter whether it does have some bet involved or not, because the primary thing that we do want on why we do make out bets is to have fun.
Didnt really have to necessary on having that money involved in between as long you do enjoy on betting together with your friend then this what counts.

Every gamblers needs money, and it is because of money that majority of gamblers gambles this days, which is why when it comes to me, regarding which among these two makes my heart beats more, as I will say that it's either when my favorite team is playing and losing that I get emotional, and likewise if I placed a bet and game not going according to prediction that I usually gets emotional, but however, what makes the difference here is that I always try as much to gamble with what I can always afford to lose, which is why if either I lose or not, I only get emotional and not depressed.

It actually depends on my situation, sometimes I enjoy some matches in addition to gambling. I think there is no such obligation that it cannot be enjoyed without betting on sports. And when I have funds for gambling, I bet on my favorite sports matches. Many times it has been seen that without going to any casino site or any casino only friends have bet with each other while enjoying the match. Here also there is another type of fun.
As I have done many times with my friends, we also enjoyed the matches of our favorite teams apart from betting together. So I don't think there is any need to bet every time to enjoy the match of favorite team it depends on you.

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.

I choose to watch while betting with my friends, because this adds to the sensation that we feel to be more tense and exciting. Like in the EPL match between Man City and Arsenal which will compete I am looking for a friend to bet against, I make the bet in real terms, maybe like betting a few packs of cigarettes or indeed some money.
I myself place bets with friends only on matches that can be said to be strong teams competing, because Arsenal and Man City are both strong so I will place bets to get additional excitement while watching it.

I like it more when there are bets placed on the game.

Not in soccer though, but in the Finals of the NBA last year.
It became a tradition for me and my neighbor to bet for one team. 2 years ago I bet for the Denver Nuggets to win the championship and our gamble was a set of drinks and some food of course on a weekend if our team choice loses the pick. I won that bet.
Last year was different though. I went for the Mavericks and he took the Celtics team. Same bets, foods, and drinks (alcohol) on weekends. We enjoyed the drinks while talking about how the game ended and it was fun. For me, it excites me more to watch games where bets are included.

I play bets, but I also enjoy games and can enjoy a game without betting on it. While learning to gamble I made sure to condition myself in that manner so that I will not be under the pressure to want to bet whenever there is a game. Any gambler who cannot enjoy a sporting event without betting on it for instance football game will become addicted very easily because on some weeks where there are lots of international games or competitions like the Champions League during the weekdays or the European competitions they will be forced to gamble during the weekdays and also gamble during the weekends, and that will mean gambling all through the week. If a gambler does this for a certain period, there is no way they will stop themselves from becoming addicted gamblers.

Ofcourse watching the match with a friendly bet as you called it will be more exciting. Most times I play sports in order to have exciting watching it. When I must have staked something for a particular team to win, will I have the excitement to watch the match in an extraordinary way.

This doesn't happen always. Most times, I don't need anything to motivate me because the intensity and atmosphere of the match itself is thrilling. But betting and having fun with friends hits differently.

You are right that something will be different when we watch the match and bet and also we will monitor the match well but it will be different if we just enjoy the match without betting and for now of course it is very rare for someone to bet with their friends when watching the match because there are many other options to bet and it will also make us more serious in watching the match, especially the team we put on Betting has won of course this will be very encouraging, yes choosing to watch the match in order to be able to determine the team we will bet on will certainly be better but we can also see the history of the team's matches if we want to place a bet on a team.

I have a friend of mine who's into soccer betting; it's the same guy I had mentioned participating in fixed matches in third-world countries, and we'll occasionally mess around with the Greeks' Super League matches. On the one hand, if it's a risky Derby or a large bet, I'd be having mixed feelings of anxiety and thrill, especially if I'm not seeing the results I'm anticipating. On the other hand, betting negligent amounts of money we won't care losing feels more entertaining and doesn't ruin your general experience if things go south.

Watching football without that bet will make me more focused on seeing how the game plays out and not thinking about appaun other than the game.

But when I start betting and holding on to one of the teams, the power is sometimes just directed at how the points will appear and whether luck is on my side. I forgot to enjoy the game, but was more busy imagining the final result of the gamble.

But even so, football if it is very exciting and quite entertaining, especially if the team we choose wins, it makes us happy and those who make bets will get an advantage.

Betting with our friend will be fun if they don't think too serious with the match. That is just part of having fun with them and I don't mind to bet with them just for a drink. Yes, as long as it's for entertainment, I think they will accept the result and will not complaint if they lost their money.

But I also want to watch a soccer match without bet with my friend. That will be a good moment for us to spend our time together. I think when we are gather with our friends, that will be a fun moment that we can get.

That will be too rare for now since many of my friends is moves to the other places. We are not meet each other for some time so I really missed them.

The fun of watching the game when you bet is always high due to the thrill and anxiety compared to when you are just watching the match without staking any money. I don't bet with my friends but we do watch the matches together during weekends because we bet on the games. It is good to watch the game that you are betting on so that you can have more experience to make your predictions if you are betting on the same club when next they are playing.

Watching soccer without betting on anything is fun and exciting. There is no time it has ever been boring without betting. Just that betting adds more excitement to it and it makes each on pick a favorite of who will win and have more motivation to win in the game. Nevertheless whether betting or no betting there is always fun in sports games. The only reason why people go as far as betting while watching football games is either they want to double their money or see who is the best. I remember when i do play football in school, some persons outside bet on me to score while playing. And that encourages me to play better so that will score. Now its not like i am benefiting from what they bet but its motivates me to improve and play better.

It depends on what kind of heart racing feelings you are trying to convey here because placing a huge bet(amount that you can’t afford to lose) on a sports match will surely makes your heart racing especially if the game is not in favor of your bet.

You can enjoy watching the game with or without bet if you will watch a match that you are really interested. I preferred watching my favorite sports game without placing bet so that I can focus on the game entertainment alone without thinking about my bet that sometimes destroy my mood if I’m losing.

People who love sports gambling can never fully enjoy the game without placing bets in most cases. I do sports betting myself, if I don't place a bet my attention to the game doesn't increase. Where there is no benefit to me if a team wins or loses, that's why my excitement doesn't work that way. Be it a small amount of money or something like the bottle of water while watching the game there is excitement but there is no joy in just watching the game with out bet. But if it is the favorite team or the stage of the World Cup then the matter is different. ‍Some times I make small bets with my friends while watching the game because it makes me so happy.

This experience is really a fun one honestly, there have been times i have ben with a friend of mine who is an arsenal fan and this has been our habit whenever we are seeing an arsenal game, we make mild bets on certain players having a goal by the end of the game and then we make light of the whole thing and if he losses or i lose, neither of us make a deal of it because we were jus having fun and that's all that matters to us but then for some others its different but i advise if this doesn't work for you, don't try having fun in a way you don find suiting enough as it may not work for you because it did for some other person.
