Topic: How do feel for an own-goal letting to your bet loss? - page 6. (Read 914 times)

Sometimes, if i'm having a bad session and this happens, i'd rather let it all out than let my frustrations build up.

Regardless of how it ended, it's still a loss, and there's no need to treat it differently. It's always better to accept it as any other loss and move on.

I wouldn't curse players because of that loss alone, but i've seen other bettors say some crazy stuff through public chats and even go further by messaging the player.

If you’re going to lose a bet, it might as well be in fantastic and entertaining fashion. No reason to be upset or angry at whoever is responsible. This is what gambling is about. If it was just a regular loss there wouldn’t even be reason to mention it. I’d say you should be happy your money gave an entertaining return.

I will probably curse the player first after the play and then I am going to think about bad shits about him, like he is selling the game or whatever. I am just human, those are normal emotions.
But after that, when all is calm, I'd still take it as another loss in one of my bets.
Errors do happen and we don't really know the reason behind it. What if it's an honest mistake? I doubt a player will try something stupid that he knows can cost his life. There are a lot of hardcore football fans in the world and there may be stupid people who would do stupid things when they lost their bets. Plus social media can actually kill a person now just by bashing them with words and I doubt somebody would like that to happen to himself.

I would certainly swear, I think any fan who says otherwise is a big liar

However, I understand, as bad as this action is, that this is just another "normal" game incident. No player intends to score a goal against his own team, and when this happens it is always because there was some error in controlling or directing the ball.

There are other very similar situations, such as goalkeepers' "mistakes", defenders losing the ball near the area, unintentional penalties (whether due to handball or contact with the opponent)... all of these incidents usually result in a goal for the opposing team and could also have been avoided, but it is a normal game incident.

We need to stop penalizing players so much, because they certainly regret an own goal as much or more than we do.

1. Even if you vexed at that player, you can't do anything about it, not the first time though is football that we have seen this kind of mistakes. For sure the player might bring it to himself for the rest of his playing career.

2. Yes, you should take it as a common lose, no need to sugar coat it and then go and continue to gamble

3. It will not help anything if you curse that player, he will have that stain in his career so no need to rub it in to him. And maybe there are thousands of fans already who have cursed him already, no need to add to that.

Nope, why should we be annoyed with this player. Meanwhile, soccer players sometimes make mistakes when they intend to secure the goal but accidentally their good intentions turn bad (OG)

Just like gambling, sometimes football also provides many surprises such as defeats in the last minute or own goals which often occur. So I think this is a normal thing. Even other sports will also experience problems like this.

There is no point we curse the player after he makes a mistake when we as humans must have made mistakes in any case and we as bettors must have positive thoughts about what we are betting on. Let's just say we were just unlucky.

BTW, remembering what happened to Andres Escobar, one of the real own goals was very sad.

Combination of the three, obviously you don't what that to happen, but accidentally one mistake of the player will cost their team to lost. And if you have bet on them, then obviously you are going to curse that player for doing that and you will vexed up that player every time he plays. So you have to move on and take that as a common lose, I mean that gambling, you don't know that out come up to the last minute. It's just that maybe it's not for the team to win and that they are unlucky and so is the rest of the backers who bet on them.

Scoring an own goal is not a new thing. It's a part of football so I don't see the reason I should be angry at any player whom score an own goal because no body wishes to hurt himself expecially in a competition between 2 parties where they are struggling to find the best or the winer among them. Everybody is prone to mistake and when it happens we have no choice than to accept it. Apart from own goal such club may still lost if their opponents scores more than them. The truth of the matter is that in every game there must be a winner and a loser so whichever way your team finds themselves they have to accept it that way.

Vexed, for sure. An own goal is a kick in the gut, especially when it throws the game and my bet. It's like a teammate betraying the team's trust.

Mistakes happen in football, and own goals are part of the game. Dwelling on it won't get money back.

Cursing in the heat of the moment is likely. But I don't take it too far. Players are human and make errors. Threatening or abusing them online is never okay.

An own  goal is an even that happens in football that no one, not even the players who cause the own goal expected or wanted such to happen, it only happens as a result of a mistake which cannot be blamed on the player too because it could happen to any one. Some times it results from a defensive error by the players and cannot be really blamed on them because they are not the actual cause of such happening.

Sometimes in a bid to defend and prevent a goal from happening, these players makes these mistakes and score these goals and it's such that it's not something that can be undone once it's done, so blaming on the players or cursing them is just self inflicted stress you may be doing to yourself as it will definitely not change anything or make the results coma out any better, it's best if you accept your results and your fate and hope to be lucky in another trial, then try again the next day or time. Throwing blames at players or doing otherwise isn't helpful to your gambling fate at any point.

Taking it as a common loss is one best way to getting pass through this because it's actually a common loss like you do experience on a day when a team you have expected to win or score more goals fails to do so, you will not start cursing or blaming them so much for not getting the results you desired, rather you will still have to gamble the following day with the mind of winning again or been lucky next time.

If you experience feelings 1 and 3, that is, you get seriously vexed and then curse, you should not be playing sports bets because you are immature and do not understand how sports betting works or even what sport is.

I also think that because you are blaming the players instead of simply accepting that that is how the game was meant to go, you should gamble on other casino options where you are in a position where there will be no one but yourself to blame if you lose.

One thing that is there to understand is that, own goals are a part of the game. It’s an event and one that you can even bet on happening, carries a good odd too but, a difficult market to predict.
When it happens that you lost your bet due to this own goal situation, I’ll just understand that, it wasn’t my lucky day. It’s how gambling works and I’ve got nothing than to move on. Of course I wouldn’t be so pleased with the player in that moment but after then, it’s all good.
I feel pity for them most of all, especially when the team looses the match due to an own goal. It scares you through your career and that goes into history. Mine is just a worthless stake that I would have lost anyway.
For all I know, am gambling again when I can and with odds that is appealing too.

I mean as a gambler anyone who ruins your bet you kind of get pissed at.  But in the end you let it go and move on to another bet.  Some people take sports, especially soccer like a religion. Feel bad for the guy and his family, it could happen to anyone.  But in terms of an own goal vs a normal goal ruining your bet, nah it's a ll the same.

Well, for me its normal, you see that is the beauty and at the same time the thrill when it comes to sports betting, you cant predict the outcome of the match until it ends, so as long as it doesnt end with the team you bet on in advantage then you will feel the anxious that you still might lose or the team you bet on might lose, and it will be different if your ream is in the losing side and as the sports is played by human then anything unpredictable might happen and your example is one of them, we cant avoid those unpredictable or what they say "miracle" play which could turn the tide opposite, so for me if something like that happens to me and it actually happen numerous times, I just accept it, I cant blame the team or the players because they are just humans, we just need to accept the outcome of the match and move forward because sulking and getting angry doesnt do much to you so just accept it, that is sports betting.

Players are only humans, so they are also subject to their mistakes inside the field. That is true, if it is not a fixed game, then more than likely, that player will also feel bad for what he did to his team. I don't think anyone on his right mind will want to score the opposition because of his act. But you can't blame them because once you are inside the field, confusion may always be the culprit of this act. For sure, he will also blame himself for losing the game because of his OG. So for me, don't be too hard to the player, he will also have his regrets of his actions. Just take the loss as it is and move on.

unless it is a fixed game, no player will intentionally want to score his own goal and no player will feel happy afterwards being the reason why their team  lost especially in an important competition. the player already feels sorry for himself, and no matter the annoyance you have against the player it will not change anything.

It should be taken as a common loss because before you lose there is usually  a reason for the loss, and sometimes the reason for losing is the mistakes from your own team members.

It is always said that as a gambler you need to only stake what you can afford to lose, you don't put your entire life savings on a single game and when it doesn't go in favor of you then you want the whole world to crumble. Gambling is 50/50, it is either you win or you lose and that should be imbibe in the heart of every sports man. NO.2 is what I preferably take as my position whenever I'm face with such kind of situation, I would only get angry for just a period time and after then I move on. Once you're a regular football observer, you understand that football is always unpredictable even to the last minute.

I remember the 1994 World Cup in that match between Colombia and USA where USA had to win with 2:1 scores courtesy of an own goal from the Colombian Andres Escobar which was believed to have made USA won that game leading to the disqualification of the Colombia to the next round. It was gathered that Escobar was shot dead while inside his car days after that game. An action organized by a punter who lost his huge bet because of that 2:1 loss of Colombia to USA team. The idea was that it was the own goal from Escobar that help USA to win and qualify in that game. Although the culprits were arrest and penalized.

In recent times we have witnessed countless own goals from player's in football competitors from the EPL, La Liga, Bundles Liga, Serie A  etc which had to change the outcome of a match that would have ended in favour of their team.
Now bringing this to gamblers of today; how do you feel when the team you bet in favour of lost the game due to an own goal from one of the teammate's? 

1. Do you get vexed up at the player?
2. Do you take it as a common loss by the team just like other days? or
3.  Do you curse the player for that?
