Topic: Feelings on losing the match and the bet (Read 681 times)

Of course I feel sad if my favorite team loses, especially if I placed some bets on them. But here's the thing, my friend: gambling carries risk.  It's not all fun and happy dances.

Losing money on your beloved team bites hard.  Particularly when anticipation ran high for a major match and you figured their victory was in the bag.  Still, you've gotta draw a line dividing your love for the team from gambling.  Flukes occur, and occasionally the superior squad takes an L.  Thats sports!  But grousing about a soured bet when you willingly rolled the dice? Come on now.

What if the loss was expected because I think I have seen gamblers who are used to their team losing and they expect them to lose and It don't surprise them when they lose, so they won't feel sadness whenever the team turns out to lose. They do not love their club less but at that point in time they understand the difficult situation that the club is undergoing and know that they need changes before they can get winning again. To me these are the hard time fans because they love the club and still stay with the club even though they know that the club is performing poorly losing games.

This would be very easy for you to take if your favorite team would have been Manchester united or Chelsea FC and believe me you would definitely get tire of the disappointment and losses that betting or watching their matches would results to you thinking twice before actually making such decisions. The lesson I have learnt about betting on my favorite is that the pains is x2 whenever you bet on them and they lose because on a normal note you first expect them to win just as a normal fan but it gets worse when you actually put your money on them to win.

Yes it's like two rocks hit on your head buddy , meaning that your sadness will multiply which as you say here that in addition to being sad because our favorite team lost but on the other hand we also lost money in betting, therefore I think we should really be able to think rationally and consider everything from various sides before you decide to bet, for example, such as first look at the opposing team that will compete against your favorite team, if for example from the track record it appears that the opposing team has a better and stronger performance and depth than your favorite team then obviously you better undo the intention to bet first.

That's what I often do, although sometimes there is nothing impossible that sometimes my favorite team wins even though they are faced with a much stronger team behind which I don't get a win because I didn't bet, but overall things like that are still quite rare, but anyway I think that's the best way to make decisions.

It's normal to feel sad when your favorite team loses, but the feeling usually goes away quickly. However, some people get too invested in sports and become fanatics, which can lead to longer periods of anger and depression. It's important to manage your emotions and enjoy sports without getting too caught up in the outcome, especially if you're betting on the game. For me I can never bet on my favorite team because I may be clouded sometimes by my emotions, which can lead to making of some unethical decisions which could possibly amount to loss.

Of course, if I bet on my favorite team and it losses it will make me sad. It is like two stone was hit on your head, your fav team losses and your bet losses too. Gambling makes the match more intense and enjoyable, since you have a bet on your favorite team, it feels like your in the team too and you will support them with all of your heart. Yes, it is frustrating when the team lose but it is a different feeling when they win, they win and you win too. Specially if the team they are against is much stronger and in the high ranking comparing to your favorite team.

Yes, of course I will feel sad and disappointed when I witness and bet on my favorite team that I always rely on to lose, especially if it is match in big competition that has reached the knockout stages then the disappointment can be even more pronounced.
But on the other hand, the disappointment that is felt is not limited to losing money because the bet failed but because they had to let the team they were proud of have to quit and be eliminated from the competition in which they had hoped to win the title.
Sports fans definitely understand this feeling.

But for betting, we as gamblers will be given many betting options and of course we can easily determine what betting opportunities can minimize betting failures.
In betting, the winning and losing options will only last for 1x2 or 90 minutes so that when extra time enters it will not count and in context like this I will consider many aspects for the selection.
In matches that have reached the quarter-finals, semifinals and finals, I will more often use the double chance option to bet on win on the favorite team or draw and this will minimize losses.
But with bet like this can't get big enough odd because on average the house will make the double chance option bet with low odd.
It just that at least we will continue to increase our chances of winning by minimizing losses and losing money, as gamblers we have to be smart in choosing bets.

This is very emotional in real sense, losses should be seen as a normal thing in gambling and it should be handled with care in other to adapt in any situation you find yourself as a gambler,gambling has a way it works and two things are for sure, is either you lose as a gambler or you win those are the two inevitable events that a gambler should always expect but the truth is that know one knows when any of this events will occur, this is the reason why every gambler should desist from having a high expectation of winning, if you are the type of person that see gambling as a profit venture then gambling is not for you.

Naturally lol. It's not even a matter of the bet being lost since in the first place the bet can be said to only be a sub part kind of thing only (if I described that right). The result matters the most naturally. It's also the same reason why I still feel the excitement if a match was a really good one even if the team I bet on lost because well, the match was that just good so you just can't help buy feel that they got a well-deserved win. I wouldn't describe it as "everything going wrong" though. Kind of over the top right there.

Do you know what the best strategy is?
Answer: Always bet against your favorite team, that way, if they lose the match you win money, but if you lose money then your favorite team comes out victorious.... and as a result you will always win

Every game needs to have a winner... even in draws there will always be a team that lost because they had a better chance of winning, or because they were winning and lost due to some mistake, whatever.
Learning how to deal with defeat is something that every fan needs to know and bettors even more so as they need to control their emotions to be able to think sensibly about the next move, in order to try to recover the loss.

Anyway... if you "lose your mind" because of a defeat, the best thing to do is to step away from the games for a moment until you can think better.

Betting solely on favorite teams or following emotional impulses can often lead to losses, but fans often do this as an expression of passion towards their favorite club. I dont count fans put bet on their teams as gamblers. Wise betting involves carefully analyzing the odds and seeking out value, regardless of whether a team is a favorite or an underdog. Bookmakers are skilled at setting lines that entice the betting public, sometimes creating what's known as a "trap" where the odds may seem favorable for a favorite team, but in reality, the value lies elsewhere.

Bettors should conduct thorough research, consider factors such as team performance, injuries, historical matchups, and other relevant data to make informed decisions. Focusing on finding value rather than blindly following personal biases or popular sentiment can improve their chances of success over time. It requires discipline and critical thinking that leads to more profitable outcomes in the world of sports betting.

I've lost a couple of times betting on my local team, and even though the odds weren't in my favor and I was aware of that, it was still saddening to see your team lose, resulting in a loss of funds as well. I've now learned to not bet on my team unless there are reasonable chances of them winning. By the end of the day, money is money, and I don't see a valid reason, even though it's your favorite team, to bet in a match that they're likely to lose. You can bet another time, and in the meantime, choose different matches.

I believe that it ultimately comes down to the individual in question and what they want from their gambling experience. Some people may truly enjoy the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with betting on their favourite team. However, I believe it is necessary to evaluate the potential negative repercussions, such as the risk of being too emotional and pursuing losses. I believe it is possible to blend enjoyment of the event with awareness of the risks involved.

Every football lovers are driven by passion such that it hurts when the team being supported losses game and probably we must have bet on the club to win. However we still need  to be in control and have to stay on top by not allowing emotions to overtake us, many end up being aggressive or transfer of aggression on lossing a bet or the team supported losses, some people even go to the extend of fighting as  to that regards, but you need to always be yourself because it is a game.

Favorite teams are usually the bets of the majority, they just follow their feelings thinking that favorite team will win most of the time or even all the time. This is not the right way of betting if you are thinking of winning in the long run, it's should all about looking for the advantage or value on a certain team, it coudl be the favorite or underdog as bookies are not fool, they know how to set a line to attract a betting public, and that's called a trap.

Eventually you'll learn all these, even not watching the game might help you as you already analyze before you put your bet and you are cconfident with your decision, so whatever happein in the process ( the up and down), it will not anymore affect you as you'll see it as part of the game, important is you'll end up profitable in the long run doing a number of bets.

Isn't it quite normal to feel sad and disappointed when our favorite team loses? And what's more, we also lose in betting? That's both disappointment and what happened at one time, right? that's why it's quite normal to feel sad.

However, life must go on. Because, nothing is always in accordance with what we want. Meanwhile, we still need ourselves and our mental abilities to do other things that can bring money and happiness. So, that's it, it's as simple as being disappointed, and continue with your activities as usual, whether you're moving or not.

This will result in a person's inability to control their emotions and disappointment if they bet too high and there is no financial and emotional control in it. Then this will bring excessive stress and depression. And unfortunately this often happens in society, experiencing high levels of stress due to running out of money to bet and also play slots.

There is nothing wrong if we favor one of the teams that are competing and defeat is a natural situation because after all this is a match where the team you favor will not always be able to win especially if faced with a team that is basically much stronger in terms of its track record in the competition, but maybe there are some people who are true fans who are like what you said that he was very sad for a long time because his favorite team lost but I think that's normal because maybe he is a true supporter.

Yes that's right, the risk of sadness will double when you watch while betting for your favorite team where they lose, therefore I think we have to be smarter in terms of making decisions, simply put if for example your favorite team is faced with a team that is much stronger at that time then obviously my advice is better you just support it without putting money to bet because there is a considerable possibility of defeat, after all on the other hand your favorite team will not care about whatever you experience.

It's also good to bet without even choosing a favorite team because some of team misbehave overtime, like I can remain neutral while betting but just watching them then Can keep supporting my favorite team even they win or lose it won't get me that offset because I already had it in mind that anything is possible gambling so before the results is out I am already aware what the outcome could be even though any game where played against the favorite team I am already taken defeat even before the game come to an end.

Before placing a bet, it is important for us to already know that it's going to either be a win or a loss, and be ready to accept which ever result the end turned out to be, this is what I always do, and this helps me not to feel too sad about my lost funds when a team or club I place a bet on loses their match, and to lose my bet.

But on the other hand, feeling sad sometimes is actually inevitable as it doesn't have to be all about the money we bet on the game, my favorite club is Arsenal, and when ever they are playing, whether I bet on the game or not, I usually want them to win the match, because when they win, I will be happy and proud to talk about them in the midst of my friends, but when lose, my friends will possibly laugh at me, and make mockery of me, most especially if the team or club they lost to is a small one.
So, in the end, those who love sports and support any team or club, may like have that time they feel sad for the team or club they support losing their game, and may not have anything to do with losing money, but rather, it's just about love for the team or club and the desire we have to see or watch them do well in all their sporting events.

In the past, people tend to be serious with supporting they team and clubs, but recently it has become clear to all that many of the football lovers are mostly following up because of they bets, because if they bet against their own team, theajor point of concern at that point is the winning of the bet and not the supporting club per say because you will check to know what the direct advantage of the game to your direct incomes
So I will bet according to my sentiment and that is to go for the bets despite the fact that I can't control the outcome of the vet just same way I can predict how the club I am supporting will win or not, but in if comes to a match that I know my supporting club are strong I can still vet on my favorite clubs to win the game and chosing it in my bets selection.
