Topic: Sports that you don’t watch but you keep placing bets - page 5. (Read 1088 times)

Totally depends on a certain gambler or bettor on which it would really be true that there are people who are really that loving on watching games or simply with their bets
and there are indeed individuals who doesnt really watch their bets and just wait up for it to conclude then see the outcomes of their bets whether its a win or lose.
Entertainment would really be coming into those bets on which you do able to make yourself witnessing whether their team is losing or winning.Thrill
could really be felt at the moment you are seeing on what your team is performing. In my case then i do make bets and just simply choose on which team/player who would win,
if ever i do have the time then it would be tending to look and watch it live but if not then i do simply check out the results or outcome later on.

It isn't compulsory for you to watch all games you bet on. Most gamblers never watch all games they bet on. Is it possible for you to watch all football, tennis, hockey etc of all leagues? Capital NO. They are some site that gives statistics of what can help you in your predictions. This is what most gamblers do. I love to place bet on football but I don't really watch football matches.

What we can be certain of is! Everyone has a favorite sport to bet on, even if they don't watch the game closely or don't know all the details.

As for those of you who enjoy betting on tennis, though you may not consider yourself an avid follower of all forms of gambling. You tend to place bets using some of the VIP reward points that appear from time to time, mostly for Asian Handicaps on underdogs who have edged out favorites.
If you don't have certain knowledge about this game, you can look for an entertaining way to pass the time or improve your gameplay. However, make sure that it is at your discretion and you use the money you can afford to throw away as fun funds only, nothing more.

Valorant and League of Legends.

I stopped playing and watching the pro-scene a few years back, especially for league, as I found the games boring and systemic, once again especially for league. Two teams pit it out in the arena trying to win the game, one team makes a blunder, the other capitalizes on it and takes the win, it's so systemic and it killed the hype for me. However, I still gamble in some matches for these games especially if I'm acquainted with the teams that are at play, as I believe that allows me to maximize my win cons and actually earn something in the process. With these games that are updating on a whole monthly basis just missing out on a season or two's gonna make you feel like you're playing/watching a different game, which is also partly the reason why I don't watch the games anymore even when I place bets on them cause I couldn't for the life of me figure out the inner workings of every match anymore.

Personally, I always do that sometimes. Because it will definitely take a lot of time if I have to watch all the sports matches, for example football, when I place a lot of bets on football matches. Because basically when we place a bet on a sports match, the main thing we have to do is analyze the team that we will choose as our choice in placing the bet. Then when we are sure about the team we have chosen, then the problem of watching the match becomes secondary. Because for a gambler, waiting for results is the main thing. Therefore, when I place bets on sports like football, I personally only watch the matches of teams that I really like and not all of them.

But if the context of your question is directed at sports betting where I place a bet on a sport I know nothing about, I usually don't do that. Because in my opinion the risk of loss is higher. Because as I said above, when placing a bet on a sport you definitely have to do an analysis first. So, for example, if I place a bet on a sport that I don't know and don't like, it will definitely be difficult to do the analysis. Because of course my knowledge about this sport is still zero. So in conclusion, I only place bets on sports that I know and i love.

It's not common to me, all my sports bets are those sports i knew and i enjoy watching, i don't think i can bet something like that, like for no reason, like "oh, there's a championship match now of X sports, i think i will be on this" lol.

But yeah, that's really the literal meaning of it. Haha

I don't actually bet on sports that I don't watch since its like it decreasing my chances to win and a waste of money spend on bets that I'm not familiar with. Usually I go only on sports I know since by knowing the team it give me more confidence to get a win and earn some decent rewards also enjoyment for watching how the game end up.

Maybe we have different likes and opinion regarding on this since there are people just want to test out their luck and bet on sports that they are not familiar then see how it works for them. This applicable only for people which have a lot of balance since they can easily recover. But for people have low budget they better choose only the sport they know so can make sure to enjoy whatever result will show to us.

I think the common scenario for many players is the same. At first, a new player is too careful about every bet, watches the game, analyzes carefully and thinks through the strategy. But the more bets he makes, and at the same time loses, his interest in the game itself may weaken, this is due to the fact that the player’s focus shifts from the game itself, only to winning. The sport itself becomes less important to him, but only the profit or winning back lost money.

I have heard many stories about how I start betting on any sport that takes place live. Because the player is already emotionally shaken and ready to take any risk. Some people reading this think that they will never do this, but they are wrong. It’s just that some people still don’t know what could happen to them.

Uhmmm, well, it's good that you are having fun, and it's also okay for you to lose money or still bet on a sports bet even if you are not familiar with it and know that you will lose or have a higher percent of losing that money. But the thing is, what is your purpose? Just to kill time or just waste money? Well, for me, I will never do that, but of course I will not judge you, as it's your own money, not mine.

So anyway, I never tried betting in a sport I'm not familiar with. I only bet on basketball, billiards, and soccer because they have a huge number of bettors, and it's more exciting if you know that there are a lot of bettors in the sport you are betting in. Maybe I value money more; that's why I will never ever bet on a sport that I know I'm going to lose.

Of course, some gamblers even professional ones will do things like this, but they don't watch because they are busy at certain times when the game is going on.
But those who more often usually do this are beginner gamblers who don't really know sports and bet just because they following along or are curious.

I myself, if I have free time that allows me to watch match will bet and watch the match until the end, but it all depends on how busy I.
Moreover, the time for each country will be different, I watch matches only on television or with the streaming broadcasts of sporting events that I subscribe to and of course this makes it easier to watch matches wherever are.
But for every match at the start of the first half, I start as much as possible to be able to watch it with the aim of seeing whether the predictions I make are correct because the course of the match will be the determining factor in the betting predictions made.
If the match doesn't go according to predictions, then obviously I have to change it before actually betting in sports betting, watching the match progress will really help us in making much more mature predictions.
Moreover, in sports such as football will be able to show the strategy used and even the line-up of players when the match has started, obviously watching the match will be very important and can help.

I will never bet on sports that I don't know. The reason for sports betting is to have fun while watching it, so there's no sense in putting a bet if you don't understand the game or cannot watch it. For some reason, sometimes I choose not to watch the game, although it's accessible, because I feel nervous when betting a big amount, and I feel more comfortable without watching it. I just choose to watch the replay instead, but not if my bet ends up losing.

Although I understand your point that its purely done for the thrill and for fun, but personally I do not engage in what I do not understand. If I must bet on another sport, then I would have to be a fan of it, or at least understand its modulus operandi, so it will at least look sane to me.

I love being able to analyze my games well before placing the bets and weighing my options properly, in as much as I play tennis seldomly, and I always enjoyed it right from time, It has never crossed my mind to even bet on it, like in my mind, it doesn't even exist in the bookies. I think I'm addicted to football betting though, but trying out a new thing isn't that bad honestly.  maybe I should look into that direction next time.

Many times I placed a bet but I didn't see the match. Some reasons are due to broadcast time and health condition. Often EPL and UCL matches are broadcast at 1 or 2 pm here. It's really beyond my ability to watch it because sometimes I have things to do in the morning.

Usually I reduce the bet amount for these matches that I don't see.

Isnt it called reckless gambling, when you are not familiar with the sport, and you blindly follow and bet like others do? Especially when you dont watch the game. For example I am not familiar with cricket at all. I just know that one guys must hit the ball little wooden logs, and the other guy must protect it. I would never place a bet on the game and dont watch it. What if on the last second my winning bet turns into draw and I would miss chance to cashout and at least try to save a bit of money?

I have played such Game countless times, but I play such games when I copy a random prediction code online. I have several prediction site on my telegram, where I pick a code which has been booked and I will place the bet. Most of them are tennis, boxing,  NBA and football. In most of those matches I don't really study them but I just go ahead and place the bet, most at times I win and also loose sometimes. The fact remains that gambling is just gambling. Both the one you predicted and the one you didn't predict. Sometimes you win gamble you didn't predict more than the actual one you predicted.

I like to watch racing like horserace or dog race, so sometimes I could just bet on it without actually knowing so much about them but just because of the speed that I enjoy to watch I could just ask a friend to bet on them. Apart from games I'm not really use to, it is not necessary to bet on football matches that you can predict the outcome. Sometimes I don't watch some league but I could pick them up just because of the odd that I see and I take a lucky chance on them.

I don't derive the level of enjoyment or get that feeling of satisfaction in terms of being entertained while watching any other sports game except for football, any other sports I watch could just be for formalities or kill time and for that my interest in betting on them doesn't really trigger that much as I can't particularly remember the last time I did so in my bets history.

However, I do place bets on many football leagues that I don't even watch their league matches but only that I have hints on how those leagues have been progressing and the team's that are in good form, through listening of football news and analysis of previous matches in the different lmajor and minor leagues.

If I don't have an idea about a particular sport I don't bother betting on it, it's not about trying luck for me it's about putting luck and idea together in test believing I have a better chance of winning when the two goes together than when it's just luck alone by me betting on a sport game I am ignorant about their events or specifies.

Definitely yes!! Same here, because here in our country, there is a season where the bet is strong in what we call gambling "ending" That is a lengthwise card with a numbers written on it. It is related to the game of basketball and you can bet on any numbers that do you think it will be the last game result of the two teams that will play. Actually I don't like to watch basketball, the only reason I bet is because my friends and relatives at home like to watch basketball games and most of them bet on the ending. It's also fun to do especially since I have no idea about the possible final score of the two teams, you can bet on any number and any person who is offered ending cards as long as you can manage the money you put in there, there are as many prizes there, it can be a cash and can also be gadgets.

I don't like watching all games live on TV or live streaming. There are some games that I try to watch when I have free time and most of the time I use websites that provide scores for those games. But I don't see any live streaming site for table tennis games. But when there is a good football or cricket match, I try to watch the live match whenever I get time. Watching the live games while betting gives me some excitement that I don't get at other times. I try to watch live streaming of those games especially when I have big bets. But I don't have the opportunity to watch live games in most of my bets. I place bets before analyzing various data related to the players' condition in that game prior to their wins and losses and then try to know the betting conditions of the game by looking at the score.

I don't think I've ever done that, because the purpose of the bets I make is just to increase my enthusiasm and excitement in watching a sporting match, and the sport I like the most is football.

And what I am looking for from the bets I make is not looking for profit but rather adding to the essence of the match I am watching. Because I am a football fan who happens to like betting, not a bettor who likes watching football.

But everyone has their own reasons and preferences regarding betting and sports. There are also some of them who prefer their bets to sports competitions, so they continue to place bets even on sports events that they don't really like. And as long as the bet is made within reasonable limits, it is fine to do so. However, if the bet he takes is already on the verge of being reasonable and is considered to have gone too far. where he continues to place bets on every sporting match he participates in. So you need to be wary of this behavior, because it could indicate that you are indeed addicted to betting.
