Topic: Sports that you don’t watch but you keep placing bets - page 4. (Read 1095 times)

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.

But since it is a popular game here and I love betting, I ended up betting on it. I make bets on both big Mobile Legends tournaments and local matches in the neighborhood. As a matter of fact, just the other day I lost my bet when my friends challenged players from another village.

I think  most persons just pick based on odds, they would make decisions that if the odds are smaller then it would have a higher chance of happening and even without knowing the clubs or sport they might well end up picking rightly than someone else that knows them and makes a wrong Decision, I cases like this it's all about luck even tho gambling is all about luck but I guess you have to be luckier to win bets like this one.

In the past I placed bets on MMA fights and tennis games and NBA games and I didn't watch the games, as I analyzed the games before placing my bets so I didn't see any problem with that, but over time I stopped placing bets on these sports but I still follow them and watch the highlights and the reason I stopped betting on them and not watching the games is because they are games that are held at a time when I am sleeping so I didn't have any good conditions for I watch the games. That's why I only bet on football games, but not all the football games I bet on are games I watch. But even if I don't watch it, I still just need to watch the highlights

because they are teams that I have followed for many years, I know the players and I know how they play, so there is no problem in not watching the football games that I place bets on. I often even think it's good to be this way because it avoids stress. when a person bets on a game and watches that game, the person starts to think a lot about what will happen if that game ends with a negative result, while watching a game in which the person did not place a bet, the person pays more attention to the players and watches no pressure

We have what we called tension in the system, anytime you're in a position to place wager on either your favorite team, you start feeling nervous and that alone will trigger you to missed out on the game that holds such significant odds. Gambling doesn't go most times as planned, I've witnessed how these games played out, it's just time to calmly settled down and observed the game. I can be fully prepared to watch the game but due to the reasons I've already place bets on this particular game, I sensed threats and the best way to avoid them is simply sleep and wake up after the end of the game.

Actually, your approach and mindset towards gambling is good that you come only for fun and maybe I believe that you are one of the gamblers who are quite responsible with whatever results will occur later at the end of the session. On the other hand there is one thing that I question about whether you are able to think responsibly and say that playing just for fun is because you are using the bonus balance from being a VIP user (rakeback) or whether you can also put this kind of responsibility when you bet with a budget that you spend from your personal pocket? This is enough to question me.

On the other hand if you do have a little knowledge about the world of sports then I think do well and according to the knowledge you have in terms of choosing a team, make sure it is a team that is pretty good at that time compared to some other teams, I understand that you are gambling responsibly and can afford to lose but it is a wise decision if you are able to consider everything well in terms of choosing a team that has a greater potential to win because after all we all like the name victory even though basically earning is not our goal.

By health condition, I suppose you mean sick here but it's impressive on how you still manage to place a bet despite having that kind of condition. I still think it can affect our decisions or picks, and most of all our bodies.

So, it's better to just refrain from doing it and let your body lest/recover first. That way, you can enjoy betting at its fullest, and you can also do other good things in life if you are not sick, but this is also one of the good things about sports betting, I mean we can place a bet and leave it and come back only later on to know the result if we win or not, but on other forms of gambling, they may need a constant monitoring. For those matches that you missed to watch, I guess you can still watch their replays in your vacant time?

I do agree that the smart way to go would be making sure that you are gambling on something you are aware of and not something you do not watch. I rarely ever do this, even if I do not watch THAT game, it's a sport that I normally watch. It has happened many many many times before when I watch the sport itself, but just happen to miss that specific game, it happens almost every week.

But I rarely, if ever, gamble on anything that I would never watch, it has to be a game where I would watch if I have the time and enjoy the game. Football, Basketball and Formula 1, these are my main trio and I will keep on betting into these games and I guess it would probably not be all that confusing neither, it will be something to watch for without a doubt.

Point #1- I agree with this on which it would be always best that you shouldnt really be making out some bets on the games or sports that you dont even know. There's no point on doing that.
Point #2- When it come to bet limitation then it would really be that just that depending because if we do see some good opportunity bets on which you do know then numbers
cant really be known.
Point #3- Watching it live? This is where excitement comes up but if you are that someone whose really that becoming that impulsive then it would really be just that wise
that you would really be skipping on watching on.

In overall, it would really be always best that you should really be having that kind of consideration that you shouldn't really be betting on games on which you dont know
The odds or chance of winning would really be just that less in compared into those games which you do know on what it is.

I have 3 rules actually.
First, I never bet on sports I don't know. Meaning I only bet games where I made some information gathering before the match. Also I must know the sport, league and current situation of both teams/players involved.
Second, I only make bets with 2 way results ( like tennis, basketball, volleyball ), meaning football or hockey and so on that might result in a draw are gone from my list.

Third, I almost never watch the games I bet on live. Sure, I follow the live ticker but watching the actual game is something I never do because seeing my team making too many mistakes or misses annoys me too much, haha.

It might surprise you that a lot of gambler's, who get caught of in the cycle of trying new options, go ahead to try placing bets on games they have no single idea about. I have a friend who has been betting on hockey and baseball, even when he has no single idea about thr games.
Even if one must bet on games they don't watch, it should at least be a game they're familiar with and have somewhat level of knowledge about.

If playing online, I think most gamblers will bet on other sports such as tennis, basketball, or even simulated football. Because we are easily attracted to other things when playing on an online web interface. And most sports other than football have a shorter playing time, so we know the results more quickly, so this is also an attraction for players who initially only come to football to bet.
I often play soccer betting, this is my favorite sport and I have a lot of experience playing it. However, I also often bet on basketball. It partly helps me relieve my desire to bet when a football match lasts quite a long time.

Yes, I do! I remember placing bets on random football games, even though I really don't watch them. I know the teams, but I don't have in-depth knowledge about them, so it is kind of risky to place a bet on them. Also, I placed a bet on basketball somewhere in Europe, but I really do not remember it. But as soon as I wake up, it is a win. It really feels good to win on a bet that you really don't know and that still gives you profit.

I don't do this often, as I don't have the guts to consistently do it. If I do this, I am just tailing someone's bet slip. With a little bit of analysis too from my end and looking at that person's winrate, then I will tail his betslip.

Fortunately, the most of the bet slips I am tailing are winning, so it won't be a problem if I don't really watch the sport I am betting on.

Well sometimes I do that although not very often because of intuition and the sight of a good performance I can bet even if I don't see the match being played.
Like some time ago when I didn't watch Leverkusen's match against Mainz and Manchester City against Luton I didn't watch these matches but I very confidently entered these 2 matches into the multi I made in a bet because my intuition said so.

But in the end it certainly ended in victory and I think this kind of thing must also be done by almost everyone by betting anywhere without us seeing the match that happened because it was too confident that the final result would be favorable.

Although sometimes not all should be done like that but in a condition that we are still busy or have other matters in real life then there is no harm in also doing some bets even though we do not see the match that occurs.

I think it's difficult to do that, at the least you should be interested in the game to bet on it but at that point you're betting blindly which isn't a recommended thing to do since you're just relying on luck or which teams looks cool. To me, it feels like there needs to be some level of interest and knowledge of the sport that you're betting because without those, the analysis on which one you're picking is going to be mediocre at best, imagine betting on MMA and on a fight against Khabib and you don't know a thing or two about MMA and how good Khabib is and his record is and you just blindly bet then you're going to be seeing more losses this way. Also, who does that anyway? Not watching the match when you're placing a bet? There's got to be some trick to it and some people are probably thinking that it's probably some sort of superstition. Maybe if it comes to not having a lot of time to watch, I can get why you still place bets but not watching and having no basic knowledge on that sport is a really bad practice in my opinion.

When it comes to sports betting I like to watch all games live where I place a bet on, but due to long hours of some games or sometimes multiple matches are being played at the same time it won't always be possible. What is a big no-go for me is to place bets on sports where I don't know the rules or where I am not following the leagues actively. Just because someone else tells me that team xyz is going to win their next match is not enough for me to place my own money on it. I prefer to do my own research before a match instead of trusting someone blindly. In the case I don't have time to watch the match live, I will at least watch the summary of the match afterwards. It's always good to check if I made the right call and bet on the stronger team, or if they only managed to win due to luck.

I am not a fan of the table tennis neither can I spend little of my time for it and I don't even listen to its rumours so I just totally offline when you bring about the table tennis games conversations.
I love to bet on games I have some urge of interests for even if I don't watch them live. I prefer more of action games that has to do with cheering the teams to activate their energies to keep up positively minded so, even if I bets only on the games I have urges for so even if I fails I could cheers to my supposed team that... You tried even as you lossed, I know how hard you fought to win. Better days ahead.

But I am more likely to bet on the football teams that are not popular and not influential which is impossible to determine which would win.
So I just place my spare bet funds on it with the thought that .. let me just give this amount to the gambling board. I fell 100% sure that it is a lossed game, sometimes I misplaced my bet slip which I wouldn't even know if the game played to my favour or not because the stake already staked to be a wasted fund.
I have never won a game in such scenero before but  though, I have not been pissed towards it because I have never been serious with it in the first place.

I bet on sports too often but don't have much time to watch them, especially football games. And in my opinion, watching only has a different sensation when betting, but in essence it is analysis and looking for the best information that can help in making choices.
Especially in matches where the team is the favorite and has a greater chance of winning, and if it's not possible to watch, in my opinion it's not that important. And I also sometimes bet on other sports matches based on feeling and also the track record that I sometimes win even though I don't watch it, I think this happens to almost all gamblers.

I myself not a die-hard sport fan, but it's true that sometimes we find ourselves drawn to certain sports or betting markets for various reasons, maybe for potential profit, excitement of the game or just for entertainment. Just casually gambling with spare funds and without high expectation of winning big is really is gambling with what you can afford to lose.

If that is your real question, then it will be very difficult for you to win the bet because even if you win it is very likely because you are just lucky, because bettors should carry out analysis before choosing their bet to open up the opportunity to win even though it does not rule out the possibility of still losing.
I bet on tennis and football most often and basketball if my favorite team is playing and these three are sports where I often watch the match unless there is a schedule at the same time but watching the match does not open up the opportunity to win the bet it is just a hobby.
Watching the match will open up our knowledge about the club or athlete so that it can be used as analysis material for future bets.
I don't always watch matches to bet on but I definitely bet on clubs or athletes in types of sports that I understand enough

You are right, tennis is a sport where there are always bets available every day because there are so many matches taking place, but I only bet on big events because I don't understand the challenger's event and I don't want to bet randomly or just on favorites because tennis is a sport where the results can be unpredictable are not like badminton where the favorite can almost certainly win, especially in the early rounds of the tournament

Although I don't usually do it, I have also done this several times in the past. I sometimes tail other bets even in sports that I don't actually watch. Of course I assume that those bets are analyzed by their bettors. They probably think they are the winning bets. Knowing this makes me feel a little safe. Although I don't know the teams or players and I don't know how they play, I still believe that my bets are winning. Most often I tail the bets of my friends.
