Do you have a sports that you keep betting on even though you don’t watch this sports live or you don’t know the full specifications of this game?

No I don’t have any sport that I don’t watch and I do gamble on it. The only sport which I do gamble on is football, and it’s what I watch mostly, I don’t gamble on any other sport, maybe because am not interested in them or maybe one of the most popular sport in my country is football, you will hardly hear about any other sport, so I gamble on football alone. If you are gambling on sport which you don’t follow up, or sport which you have no knowledge about, then I will say you are just wasting your money, because their is higher chances that you are going to lose after placing bet on sports like that, and I don’t know the fun which you will be deriving from that.

Most of the people that I know which are gambling on sport which they have no knowledge about, most of them are the once which are always depending on people making predictions so they do follow their predictions, because how will you randomly gamble on sport which you have zero knowledge about.

I have a bit different approach towards sports betting and gambling in general. When I place bet or gamble, I do it not to earn money, but do it for entertainment, to add a little bit spiciness to watching the game. Those who place bets and dont watch, I think are those who use gambling to earn and physically cant watch all the events they have placed bet on. I prefer to get maximum emotions for the money I have spent on a bet.

Thats how it's supposed to be but to be fair, I think maybe 5% or less of bettors see it the same way.
Almost everybody want's to make money with it, and most of them lose while doing so.
There are a fey lucky winners but the house always wins, as usual.

I have high respect for people that just see and use the entertainment factor of betting and gambling in general, that's the safest and most fun way for sure!

That is the ideal, to see the casino as what was actually created, not to decapitalize or to do something that actually puts one's life at risk, for example if you watch a person go to the casino and be drunk Well, you can lose a lot of money playing and that is the only thing that should be avoided, therefore if everyone thought that way it could be said that cases of addiction would not exist and it would be very good, because the casino would see it only as a measure of entertainment, that is the total maturity of a human being with games of chance.

Sports betting should also be Seen in that way because there are people who get very excited with sports betting, they cannot stop because they feel that they are doing things wrong, so the possible addiction they have should be stopped so that it does not wreak havoc on them the life of the Player.

I can't always watch live betting games when I gamble. But even if I don't watch it, there is no problem at all. I love sports betting. If I have enough time I definitely try to watch those games and if I can't I place bets only. Because the result is the main purpose. Sometimes I have observed that live betting games create more excitement. I also have more human pressure. When my favorite sports betting games are not live, I place my bets on sports like tennis. I don't watch those games patiently but I am happy with the results.

I give priority to my research and then try to find others research result so that there is no misinformation about my research. I don't watch most sports bets live. I leave everything to my fate.

In my case, I keep betting on tennis whenever I have spare money on my casino balance from my VIP rewards(Rakeback) after my long game session on live games. I’m not really a fan of sports betting in general but I do place bet randomly on tennis especially the Asian Handicap on live match. I’m always betting on the underdog that already has 1 set advantage to the favorite players. I do this bet just for fun no string attached.

I believe this is the literal definition of “gamble what you can afford to lose”. Grin

Your concluding part is not related to what you narrated in any way, you never added the money you are betting the game with, nor did you talk about the risk level you take by betting it. However, a gambler can bet the way they want and what you think you do not know might be well-known to you. Though all are about gambling but gambling could still be ignorantly analysed well. You have talked about it already, you may not know the teams playing from Adams but when you are watching them live, your observations and instincts could tell you a whole lot about what will happen and that is enough for you to speculate rightly.

Although all is still about gambling but in the process of watching it live, you can make an informed decision simply due to your instinct and still win the match easily. There are many ways gamblers speculate and we can't remove the one you talked about from it. But for me, I bet with the team(s) I am sure about and I use past records in all ramifications to conclude on the betting to be surer on what to do.

Football is the sports I mostly have my bet on, even though I don't watch most of the matches I do bets on. I only bet because I just felt that this team have an upper hand to win against the team they are against base on their match record review.

In all the football matches I have had my bets on, if I should say to you that I do watch all of them at once, I must be lying to you because not every match that I will make out time to watch. Even if I do, I can't watch more than one match at a time when two or three match at being played at the same time.

I’m always betting on NBA without watching it. I’m just relying on the stats on the team prior to their upcoming matches to have a better understanding on how they can perform against their current opponent. I only watch NBA occasionally since it’s not available on free tv channels in my country so I’m just relying on highlights on the internet to easily catch up to the team performance.

I occasionally bet too on baseball and cricket even though I never watch any of this game before. This is part of having fun when I have extra dollars remaining after placing my main bet.

Everything revolves around "bonuses", "money to lose" - we are entering a world of entertainment where money is not so important. Winning and losing are dull, replaced by a feeling of excitement at the analysis and risky bets. It's like testing your luck, betting on intuition and knowledge "picked up" on forums.

Interestingly, sports betting is no longer limited to sports passion. It becomes an intellectual playground, where you combine many factors: personal judgment, community consultation, and risk taking. Like solving a math problem with many approaches, winning or losing is just the result, but the process of reasoning and analysis is truly attractive.

However, the key point still lies in "budget". This feeling of comfort only exists when everything is under control. Betting occasionally, in reasonable amounts, can provide mental stimulation, but if taken too far, it can easily become a burden.

I don't know how possible is that, for someone to be placing bet on the sport he does not watch or have interest in, when we are watching the sport, it will give us the more insight needed each time we are about to place a bet regarding such game, we needs updates, information's and have to see sometimes for ourselves what we are betting upon in times of sport bets, because our direct visual judgement will be needed in some certain condition in other for us to to wrong play the best we may end in loss through our ignorance.

Usually on esports on which there are really indeed games on which i do skip out on watching and do focus into those main events but it would really be that depending into certain conditions on which
there are really moments that i cant be able to watch because im busy or there's something that i do but if possible then i would really be that tending to watch specially if its finals.
The only important thing on here is that you should really be that knowledgeable into the bets that you are really that making. There would really be no point on making up
bets on games or sports on which you dont even know on what it is or simply into those bets that you dont even know on what it is. Also, there's no fun on betting
on sports that you dont even know.

Have had so much love for basketball back then buy I don't find myself watching it, don't know why probably I would have not placed my mind to explore this game aside having love for it.
Weeks ago I had to make some findings of our betting in the site works and I also place a bet which is an amount I can afford to lose , and I don't seem to regret it cause deep down I so much love this game and want to explore the inner part of it,so with time I believe it will definitely turn out positive.
Nevertheless I'm aware it's not like football,so every rules concerning the game should be learnt in other to enjoy it.so I'm just trying a little bit to place bets sometimes and see how it unfolds.

Makes no sense to me, I would get like maybe someone betting on super bowl or world cup finals, because they are so huge, but still it is not that easy to bet on those without watching. I did bet on super bowl, and I do not watch nfl, but I do watch super bowl every year, many people are like me, we do not watch nfl, the sport itself is not "that" entertaining for us, to be fair it is not huge outside of USA but it is literally the biggest thing in all of USA, so I get that but that doesn't mean that we are going to be getting easy results.

So, I think it is only fair to say that I still watch what I bet on at least, and I do not get why people would bet on what they do not wager on, that still doesn't make sense to me at all.

I'm a sports fan and not really into sports but I casually bet on soccer and basketball sometimes. I do not have much time to watch the games due to work. And I cannot control my emotions if ever I'm going to watch the games. So, instead, I regularly check the sports webpages and check on the sports social media to get updates.

That will work. You just need to get updated so that you are not blindly betting. I mean, you will still have the idea of what is happening in the league and even if it's just a 1 percent increase in the chance to win, then it's okay.
Some gamblers don't even read those, they just go for the favorite or whatever they like. I can say because I also have been there. I lost the whole 5 lines that I made for the day so I need to chase my losses. Went to the table tennis matches because they are fast games but I had no clue about whoever was playing, I just relied on the favorites. It's not easy to win, in 10 games I can only get 2-3 wins and I just increased my losses after that. After that, I stopped that type of guessing bet, I controlled my urge and just waited for the next game on the sport that I preferred and had knowledge about.
We can still place our bets even if we do not watch, as long as we do have an idea about that sport, especially the players or teams.

There's no need to be upset

I tried some bets on soccer and its fun even without watching the games
But for other sports I think you have to know a little bit about it so it makes not a lot of sense for me to bet on it using only the stats

Interesting to read other answers here to check different opinions

In my personal case, I experienced something similar when I didn't watch sports but dared to place a bet, namely boxing. Actually, I don't like boxing, but at that time the players who appeared were players who were quite familiar. among the people so I dare to place a bet there. and what happened in the end was that the player I bet on won, even though initially I only dared to bet a little, the results were not bad, but the most important thing was that I was happy because my supporting player had won.

Well, that's true and I admit that I bet because I just want to win or I just want to see if my instincts will be right on the possible number that will appear, but when it comes to sports, I don't really want to watch, especially when it's NBA, Maybe I really don't like men sports that's why, but it doesn't mean that if you don't watch it, you don't enjoy it. I also enjoy it somehow because I challenge myself when it comes to the outcome of what I predicted.

I also have that one sport (rugby, cricket, darts, esports) where it becomes the flavor of the week/month and I would continue betting on it due to sheer luck that keeps going even though I don't research as much about the players and their opponents.

I keep betting on Mobile Legends matches, but I never played it. I understand the game a little because I used to play DOTA II and there are a lot of similarities, but I really don't understand the specific rules, skills, characters, strategies, and so on.

For me, it's League of Legends instead of Mobile Legends. Grin

I would only try to understand the mechanics through the commentators and quickly learn their points because it resembles another game I used to play.

I have many sports that I can gamble on even though I don't watch the sports and that's boxing, I love gambling on this sport as if I win I'll be happy and when I lose and I know that the individual that made me lose would have received the beating of his life. Boxing is very physical sport and the feelings that comes from knowing that the winner would have beaten up his opponents is what makes me to place a bet on the matches when I have free spare cash left in my gambling account.

I don't have it in mind to bet on boxing match but when I come across them I'll do some research on the both boxers then pick the boxer that I think has more chances to win through knockout. I don't place big bets on boxing matches but just the amount that I'll be okay losing as boxing aren't always predictable. A boxer that we all will be thinking is going to win can end up getting beaten with knockout.
