Topic: Sports that you don’t watch but you keep placing bets (Read 1095 times)

That's right. But sometimes it's not stupid to do so. There had been gamblers who got lucky on doing those blind bets. Mostly making long parlays and then cashing out when it's ripe.
I've done it too with tennis games and somehow reaped x50 rewards. I didn't finish the parlay and the timing was just right when I opened my computer I saw that the cash-out button was open and I could take the money if I wanted. Somehow that made me happy and I didn't look back if I won the whole parlay or not. I am good with what I made from it.
Just don't put too much money when you are doing this. It could sometimes be fun to just see how lucky you are on that day. The parlay could be composed of heavy favorites or you could go testing your luck at underdogs to increase the multiplier.
I am not recommending it though, I am just telling you about my experience with this type of bet.

I haven't done this before because I feel like at the least I have some level of control to what I bet and that control would be the fact that I'd know what I'm looking at, at least I can analyze how most of the teams work and how the players play their game, that way, I'm not blindly betting which in my opinion is a really stupid thing to do especially when you can probably do something about it. Plus, wouldn't it be much more comfortable for you to be gambling or betting if you have technical knowledge on what's happening in the game? I mean, you won't be playing poker if you don't know which is a good hand for you.

I don't think there's any sports I won't watch that I had a bet on. In football, sometimes I can't watch every games as different games in different leagues and same leagues are being played at the same time. I enjoy football and it's the game I bet most on. My second highest bets are in Tennis and I love watching tennis. I might skip a few moments if its getting too long. My third most bet games might be cricket and with so much T20, it's never boring. I do skip most time in Test cricket and some in ODI. The fourth one is probably NBA, and it's a fast paced sport worth watching.

Maybe you just only wants to place the bet on that sports without analyzes many things. That's normal thing some people do because they feels that it's okay to do that things to enjoy their spare time by placing the bet. I also do that to football or tennis but I don't analyze much and only choose from what I see. I also place a bet by seeing the lists of gamblers who place big bets but I don't expect too much with the outcomes because I just wants to enjoy the bet. I don't minds if I lose because I knows the risks of placing the bet so I can accepts whatever the outcomes. But I don't do that too often because I knows that can makes me lose my money. I realizes that if I do that, I will difficult to wins because I don't analyze anything with the team or the players and just place the bet.

I don't really like tennis either, but for me it is an extremely attractive and interesting game. Especially when playing one player against another player, and not, for example, a pair against a pair. There are no draws in tennis and this is a wonderful rule. In general, I like games that have few outcomes. And tennis is one of these games. I like to follow individual players rather than teams, because it is much easier to analyze. Try to predict the outcome of a match between two teams and you will realize that there are too many variables to make any reasonable prediction.

It's so funny actually thinking that I do this quite some times and very often, there was this channel I belong to that mostly gave codes to games for us to stake, one of this games where ice hockey and mba basketball that I did not even have any idea about, If I were asked on why grounds that I feel the predictions would work out I had none, yet I would always place my bet like it was as sure banker, I did lose some times and won some times, I was a fun experience untill I lost my account that I was joined on the channel and since then I have not had such opportunity again.

Whenever you bet with money the emotions are very great, they will always be significant, that's why when we venture to think that this can make a Difference , it does because Eventually things when you try to do them for fun can be very difficult to say no You have to bet because the fact that the teams you support win Means that you feel better, but in view of the things that are done so that they can establish better limits, you have to do it with more Care, for example I do not bet on things that I don't know, I don't bet on Basketball or Baseball , because I don't know About those Sports , that's why I Wouldn't bet on sports because I Hardly like them or know them very well.

I play bet and i do not watch them not because i do not want to or there is no chance but i see them, as a waste of time and energy and most of the league i normally played are so boring to watch and most of them they do not carry them on DSTV channel . Morever, the only league i will play and it will move me to go watch are premier league, and some bundesliga, italy, spain and french league but premier league is my favorite. Well i still wonder how or why someone will play bet for fun when you are playing with your own money, you may say it is fun sha but i am not convince that you actually do it for fun but if you tell me you do it with the mindset that if it want to cut no problem if it want to boom too no problem i will agree with you.

Now after flying over this thread I suddenly remembered my early days on online betting.
For some reason I really liked to bet on cricket, even though I have 0 connection to the game, it's teams or even back then to the rules.

I just knew when the team is coming to the end of the inning, let's say they play 50 innings at max, and still they had many wickets left they were shooting at the ball like crazy, collecting 9s and 4s like there is no tomorrow.
So I placed bets on o/u runs per inning at the end of games hoping for like 15-20 runs per inning, hahaha.

Today I would never place wagers like that but at the start I did, also bet on football regularly which now I would never do.
Oh, and now that I think of it I also bet on Snooker, which I also have 0 interest in, haha.

Yes I have a sports like that and that sports is formula 1. I honestly have no idea what the reason game is all about. And I always bit on Louis Hamilton's. I rarely watch them race or even participate but I love to bet on them before really being that I just like it. I am going to take my time to start learning about this sports. My second option will be to bet on Verstappen or Alonso.

Actually we do have on the same behavior when it comes to this manner on which on the time that i have already that have some spare money after betting on the preferred match then i do really look for something
which it could get in line or together with my current betting choices. Yes, its not something that worth because people would really be saying, why not to bet it all on that preferred match? We do know that when it comes to capital handling or betting amount then there's always that kind of fixed amount that i have been able to set not unless if you are on the time that you are that too emotional or having that stirred up kind of thinking
then you would really be making that all in but if you are on the moment that you are following your gambling rules and discipline then you would really be doing this.

Speaking about betting on sports that i dont watch but keeping on making up some bets? This is only on secondary ones and not on the main ones. NBA is something i do always look and watch
compared when betting on Football but i dont watch the game but only knows the result after the game.

i don't have bets where i don't understand the game myself, because i think that if a gambler wants to bet then he must first understand the bet he wants to take. because how could he possibly analyze the match and get the best results from it if he didn't know the sport? it's just a waste of money if a bettor bets on a sport he doesn't understand.

Everytime I have spared funds after placing a bet on my preferred match, those remaining funds are risks on a football match parlay.

Mostly on football games that I don't even know or am familiar with, and my parlay is composed of several underdog odds and draw odds. Just a random pick as personally, I don't watch football games as it's not hyped here in our country. Til now, I haven't managed yet to hit my parlay bets as I understand that it's hard to win it all. Sometimes out of 6 bets, only 3-4 were being predicted correctly and no improvement til now. Not serious about that so it's fine.

I was frequently watching football in the past but now I'm not watching matches often these days. However I still don't see it as an obstacle for me to bet on them.    I have won many times despite not watching the match I bet on. Because even if I don't watch it I still have a good level knowledge about the teams I bet on.

The reason is that I'm still keeping myself up-to-date about the last conditions of teams by reading recent data about them. If I don't have any knowledge about a sports branch then I would never bet on it.    Because it doesn't look fun to me to tell the truth. However I understand people who are doing it anyway just for some excitement of course.

Yes, there are always possibilities to do things right with the bets, on a personal level, right now betting in favor of Leverkusen is equivalent to a sure win, because really that team is giving everything in the Bundesliga, so this type of are things that we must take care to do, to put into practice in order to generate more confidence, what we want is to make money, and with football it is a very nice way to make money, the English League is a bit complicated, because Actually my favorite is Liverpool, but Arsenal and City are about to go up, however I like Liverpool more so there is Luis Diaz and Salah, apart from the fact that they are under the direction of a Klopp who wants to leave, So it would be great if they could close on a high note if they could win the PL.

I think I am absolutely the same with you, I actually don't watch any other sports matches aside from football, car or motorcycle race, wrestling like WWE, UFC and so on,  but amazingly, the only sports games I know I watch that I actually do bet on is football, and when it comes to other sports games I bet on, I bet alot of on table tennis, volleyball, hockey, this are games I don't actually watch, and neither do I have any idea what their specification are, I don't even know the team and neither do I have any idea how they play, but I just bet on which ever team I feel is winning (for live bets) or any team I feel in my spirit will win.

Actually, sometimes, I do follow other gamblers bets, like on stake, it's very easy to view or see other users betting tickets and actually copy the bets very easily if you want, so, most of the time when I have no idea what or who or which team to bet on, I just go to stake betting log, find betting tickets in table tennis, or volley ball, or hockey, of other games gamblers, and copy the bet of any gambler I feel his or her ticket stand a better chance of winning, and amazing, sometimes I do win, while other times, I lose, but the good thing is, l always have fun doing it, and most importantly, I never bet any money above what I can afford to lose, in fact, I alway try this type of betting with amounts way lower than what I can actually afford to lose, so that, even I lost at the end, it won't or I won't feel like a lost anything.

I don't see any problem in this. I don’t watch 99% of the games on which I place bets (at most I check the text broadcast and only if I make a live bet, if it’s not a live bet then I just wait for the result). I am an adult with a family and spending 2 hours of my life watching just one football match (while I am interested in at least 10 games in each round) is simply unrealistic. Watching a game on tape has no emotional meaning, and football games rarely fit into your schedule, so I study (at my own time, which I choose) statistics, game information, etc. but I watch the game itself only on rare occasions.

Yes, of course, everyone has a team that he trusts to bet on, it can be said that it is a favorite team that we trust to bet on, and of course you see the opponent first before deciding to bet and leave it. I do this kind of thing on the current English league and Bundesliga teams that I can trust without seeing many factors that must be analyzed so that we are confident in betting.

Whether it's fun or not sometimes I personally want to keep betting, I don't know if it's beyond logic if you look at the benefits but I personally feel it's better to bet and leave it on a team that we already trust, yes although as you said sometimes losing and sometimes winning is a risk, but what makes me believe is the win rate and I'm quite familiar with it.

I bet in different sports ranging from football, Ice Hockey and Table Tennis but I only watch some games in football. Ever since I started gambling, I haven't watched any game in Ice Hockey that I placed. In fact, most of the teams I don't even know them. I go to a prediction site and then make selections based on what they have predicted. This is similar to what I do when I make selections on Table Tennis. But as for football, the scenario is different for me. I watch football games and so I am knowledgeable in football predictions and so I know where to get my data to make informed decision.

However, I don't think if it's possible to watch all the games in a ticket. Even though I watch football, I still find it difficult to watch all the games in a multibet, reason being that some games can start the same time making it impossible to follow all the games live.

Sometimes It's okay to explore in order for us to learn new things about gambling activities. It's kinda challenging for us knowing that we have no any idea on the team that we support and it is giving us an excitement to know if we have a good choice or not, If we are lucky or not. Just like you, there was a time that I've placed a bet on some sports that I didn't know or I didn't like, someone asked me why I'm still placing a bet even if I don't have any Idea? the only thing that I answered is "For fun and excitement only"
