Topic: Sports betting for reality not club affection - page 6. (Read 936 times)

Some of us gamblers need to set records straight before we start gambling for instance making sure of what we really want e.g when betting we need to stste our position because misplaced priorities can lead to losing of money constantly,  i have seen so sport bettors who just give they favorites team a straight winning ticket simply because of them being a fans of those clubs, even when they favorite clubs are not doing well as expected for them to win the game.

This line of thoughts have lead many into losing they bets at that point so it is important to choose between your favorite clubs and the money you are staking.

You are right on this one also, I think I goof sport bettors shouldn't have anything like favorite clubs since you are betting for the winning of your ticket instead supporting a club.

I have no problems being a fan of a particular club but I do have problems adding them to my ticket predicting in their favour when I simply knows that they are not in their great form or perhaps their opponent I'm the very match is in a good form more than they are. Any seasoned gambler knows better never to attach in emotions when making his bets, to have a better chance of winning your ticket in football bets you must work with knowledge and information about the team's/league you want to bet on or against and not acting based on emotions because you will never win a single ticket any day.

It is the way to go bud, favorite team should never be the reason why you should keep losing money for no just course, Arsenal is my favorite team and I can't count hoe many times I bet against them in the previous seasons of the premiere league when they were not in a good form, I think one thing some gamblers that are obsessed with football clubs favorism is that, those players get paid, regardless of how they play, whether they win or lose a match, at the end of every week or bi-weekly for some, they get paid their salary, and it's actually foolishness on the part of a gambler to bet on a club, or team all because they at a favorite, when it's absolutely clear that that team won't be able to beat their opponent, you still go ahead to bet on them, they lose the match, you lose your money, and by the end of the week, the same players get paid their salary, while you who lost your money because of them is yet to recover that money 😂..

If I am asked, when it comes to betting that involves staking money, with the chances of losing that money, there should never be a thing like favorite club or team, just bet on whom you know have better chances of winning the game, not who is favorite, in the previous world cup, I can count how many times I bet against my country, and I am honestly not remorseful about it.

It is acceptable to receive input regarding the prohibition against including teams that are not in their best form in the betting list which includes teams that are in their best playing form.
I don't always bet on the victory of my idol team Liverpool if after analyzing various aspects it is not possible for me to win during the match.
Here what I want to convey is that there is a separation between being a team supporter and betting.
In the betting list, not all bets are 1x2, but a mixture of 1x2 and over or under.

This your claim also is why some gamblers are too confidence on their bets and they got the shock of their lives later, saying no way in hell that this is possible whereas it is already in the past.

There is one thing I know about football, and few other sports, even the most fitted club, team or fighter can be defeated by a weak person or team, some people will say the past data of a club is what will determine how they will perform, that's a big lie, you can never know.

To all football fans on here, how many times have you seen a weak football team beating the hell out of the pro teams? I bet it is not one time, but many times in the past.

My point is, even your analysis will not safe your ass from losing money, this is gambling, there is no different here, risk only what you can afford to lose, even if you believe that your team will win, you have no crystal ball to pip into the future, no one does.

One of my hard and fast rule is to never bet on games related to my fav team. It often leads to irrational betting and betting with hope instead of facts and statistics. Best to stay away from it and bet on anything else.

This is nothing but just a poor decision to bet on your favourite team when it is losing or not in good form. Sportsbetting is all about analysing the game and place bets accordingly. It’s not about placing bets on favouritism. In sports betting, you place bets to make profits, so that should be the only goal that you need to set on your mind. For this reason also, I place the bet during mid game, as at that time it’s almost predictable that who will win the match.

Do not bet when you are tired. Do not bet when you are drunk. Do not bet when you are heartbroken. Do not bet when you have too much affection for your club. These are some of the rules on betting. I consider them a common sense way of managing betting risk. There are very simple. In my estimation though these are rules that are meant for beginners because anyone who has been gambling for a long time would have learned this from experience. Club affections will lead to a loss.

If you wanted to win money then you should look without biased though. Of course, when we see our favorite teams as let's say underdog, then we might be as fans, sway and put some money on it. But by heart we think it's not a good bet and the result might not be in our favor.

It's a very expensive lessons to learn though, maybe in the beginning as "fanatics", we might be doing it and think that it is right. But if you look closely and analyzed, as a sports bettors it's might not be good for us in the long run. So we should use our logic in magic our bets if our goal is to make money in sports betting.

Bet with your head, not with your heart. That has always been what I have been told, doesn't matter if it's your favorite team or not IMO. What matters is statistics and how the teams you are planning on betting have been performing. Use all the information you can gather to your advantage and make the best calculated bet that you can.

You should always do one thing for yourself as a gambler you don't need to be emotional carried out because you know that your club can't win and you go include them in your list of winning then what do you expect as a result? Automatically you are losing and you also lose your funds so what do you do at this point, only select a team or clubs that would allow you to win your bet and that is gambling for you, you don't have attached emotions because your team is playing except you know that your club can beat the opposite that is when you would give them winning.

You have been able to separate emotions from gambling, which is why you are able to bet against your favorite team without remorse. There are gamblers who would never bet against their favorite team and would prefer not to bet at all.

Choosing to bet against your own team is also like having the intent that you are gambling more to make money than to have fun. Why do I say so? Because where is the fun in betting against one's team?

Me too, I’ve learned a valuable lesson in separating emotion from strategy. It's important to prioritize the team's current performance over personal affection.

I'm a Liverpool fan myself, and there's nothing worse than wanting them to win so badly that it clouds the judgment on the bet.

Betting for value, not just for my favorite team, is key to long-term success. I've learned the hard way to analyze form and statistics before placing a bet, even if it means going against my team sometimes. Betting should be based on performance and statistics, not personal bias, or affection for a team.  I keep analyzing teams objectively and making smart choices based on their current performance rather than personal preferences.

I don't consider sport betting a thing of club inclination or sentiment as it has not respect for your affiliations. If you can't flow with the realities of the season or game then its a lost bet already

I get it - we all wanna back our teams.  But if you wanna win at sports betting, you gotta think with your head, not your heart and  sure, Man U's your squad but if they're slumping, maybe leave them off your bet for a bit.  I aint saying you gotta bet against them! Just, you know, play the odds.  Put logic before loyalty when there's cash on the line. 

Look no judgement if you do bet against your boys.  I won't tell anyone! But I get it stings, so just don't rub it in when youre celebrating your winnings down at the bar. 

I always try to separate club affection and reality when I place a bet on a sports team or on a sports. For a sports team I did not allow my affection to cloud my sense of judgments while Manchester United may be the club that I love when it comes to sports betting I'll become very realistic about it. I try to put myself in the best position to win by placing a bet on the team that I know is most likely going to win. If I place a bet on Manchester United when I know they won't win just out of club affection then the loss is on me. The same thing goes for sports like boxing where I place a bet based on the favorite or popular boxer rather than for realistic reasons. Sentiments should be left for banters.

I often bet on teams that are in good form because it's clear why the chances of winning will be very large but what happened recently to Liverpool made my bets disappear several times because they did not show their great performance, this is often my mistake because this is the favorite team but obviously we have confidence even though it has to lose.

It's different when I look at Manchester United because this team is not so consistent but you can bet against the direction they are still said to be reasonable, but if Liverpool since losing to Atalanta the slump is starting to appear.

This is very true. Emotions can very easily creep into our decisions in betting. I'm currently in a English Premier League pool and I'm an Arsenal fan. I do not think I've ever bet against Arsenal since the beginning of the season, but I have repeatedly predicted City or Liverpool to lose or draw even when all the odds suggested the will not.

Best option will be to not get on your favorite team or their rivals.

We have two types of bettors, those that bet for the money and those that bet based on their sport for the club playing, I have seen many betting along both line of betting, secondly if you want to compare the ratio of those Betting based on being a fan of the club and those betting just based on their chances to win regardless of the club or team.


As for me I bet on many team at times without knowing even their previous performance based on the fact that I am not concern with the team but my winning possibility.

We have favorites because we become a fan. People from Manchester tend to favor Manchester United because obviously, they are from the city. I also support fighters and boxers who are from my country regardless of how they have declined in terms of their ability and they have lost several times due to their age. But because he is a fellow from my country, he got our support.

It's different when you wager some money for the sports match though. Being a bettor, you can set aside that personal favorite because it's not just about being a sports fan anymore but also about winning the bet.
