Topic: sports you do not enjoy - page 4. (Read 2258 times)

Betting on sports you don't really enjoy is not that necessary you know because mostly when dwelling on the chances of what you know best it turns out to be a decline or loses, yes you can't actually settle for what you don't know best sometimes but I think one ought to change the style and perspective of how they have always wanted their outcome to be like. Yes people do so by not betting oj sports they are not fan of but what I'm saying is sometimes we should change the pattern of how we bet and try other means as well.

In this case, you need to place bets on the opponent's victory in a match with your favorite team. Thus, regardless of the outcome of the match, you will still enjoy it: if the opponent wins, you will get a win, and if your team wins, you will be happy with them.

I agree. It's like asking what are foods you hate but eat anyway. I don't eat things I hate since I live in a free country where I have a choice and I'm not a masochist. I live in a place where I want to live, I eat what I like and I watch sports that I enjoy. There are of course sports that bore me and that I don't understand, like rugby, or so called American Football, but there's so many other things I could watch instead that it really doesn't matter. I'd never bet on US leagues because I never watch it.

I mostly follow the same logic in almost everything I do in my life.

If I don’t like a particular team/sport I don’t make bets on it.

If I don’t like a particular company/business, I don’t buy any shares of it no matter how cheap and/or a good company it is.

It is probably not the optimal/most profitable way to live this life but since we are not robots without feelings, we tend to do what feels good for us instead of always doing the most profitable stuff.

It's natural that people love trying new games or new options they don't know to see how the results could come out just as what I did the other time to try new options I didn't know to see if I could have possible winning from that option but I ended up losing the entire game, just because I went ahead choosing options I wasn't that familiar with. In this time of game we solely rely on luck instead of knowledge and even though we knows about the we can still rely on luck to hit on us to win the game.

In the not so distant past I was gambling on sports which I wasnt a fan of - hell I
actually knew very little about such sports like Basketball for example. I had mixed
results with doing this, I was even doing some research on teams and players in order
to have a kind of informed decision made. It was a lot of work and came to the
conclusion that the reward wasnt worth the time I put into it.

So my conclusion was/is that its better to stick to sports you are either/and
are familiar/fan of, that way there should be less research to get involved with.

Why bet if you don't know anything about the game? Never force sports betting as a pleasure where you understand the sport, like myself on football so bet more on this sport than other sports.

For me, betting on sports that I don't like is a waste of time and money, because if you win you only rely on pure luck, whereas if you know means you rely on the skills you have such as analyzing the team this also helps increase the chances of winning.

definitely
I agree with this
if you are only copying you lose some of the taste of it because you end up not completely thinking by yourself
blind following has a lot of limitations and should be avoided if you want to be independent

when it comes to gambling if you manage your risk and control your emotions half of the way is done...

In fact no bet guarantees you to win, unexpected events are very common in sports.
There are many gamblers who bet based entirely on other people's research, i.e. bet entirely depending on luck and for that they have very little chance of winning.
There are also many gamblers who make bets based on their predictions and research, which takes them a step further in their chances of winning.
Because luck is of immense importance in sports betting, but experience and research are also required. Because betting by researching the team's past performance and current form has a higher chance of winning.
But the most important thing is to be responsible, see the high probability of a team winning, not to bet with more money than you can afford, because the result can come anything. Hence one should never gamble impulsively and risk management is very necessary.

Well, you are right though but a lot of players who just consider the game as luck usually want to try out on different games with other people's prediction because they don't know where they are going to be lucky, that's why some people bet on so many games, even if it's not their favorite, they will stake on other people's prediction.

Some people too are very principled, sticks to one favorite game, make their own prediction and win often but that doesn't means they don't lose because they are betting on their favorite.

Unfortunately, not all players have such self-control that they will necessarily keep a diary of their games, bets and write down all sorts of notes when they do something non-standard. For this, the player must be too pedantic and, of course, spend time on keeping such a diary. I think that not everyone can cope with such a task and with such gaming behavior. Although I certainly admit that this is a very useful way to monitor and adjust your game in the future. And it is certainly correct, although for many players it is too complicated.

That's the type of signals group that everybody thinks that they'll be in profit by following sports that they don't enjoy and don't have an idea about the teams and the rules. They blindly follow those tips and bet on it even if it's going to cause them money, that's up for gambling and that's why they're doing it. Well, the fun is in there with the bets that you don't know if there's a chance that they'll win because you don't know what they are and you are just copying. I've been there and done that but it ain't fun, it's cutting the fun and even if you're in the chase of making some money, you're not doing yourself a favor with that.

I don't bet on sports I don't enjoy. If I don't enjoy the sport then I would know nothing about the sport and if I know nothing about the sport then I won't bet on a sport like that. The main sports I enjoy are football, Basketball and Tennis. These are also the sports I bet on the most.
Once in a blue moon, I place bets on boxing, volleyball, American football, and Rugby, but I can't say I enjoy those sports. I don't dislike these sports, but I'm not a fan either.
The sport I don't like at all is cricket and baseball and I never made a bet on them.   

That is the reason why you don't enjoy a sport, because all those who copy bets, decisions, signals from other groups have no idea why they got there , if that happens you will never enjoy it, that is equivalent to copying an exam or cheating, if they win or achieve something the satisfaction will be mediocre, so for me it is a thousand times better to make a bet knowing what I am doing and not because I have seen it somewhere, if you lose it doesn't matter, because if you lose and you don't know much about the sport then something remains from what you learned.

I hardly copy a bet I see online because some of them are just pasting it on their page to get crowd online. I enjoys only games I didn't bet on because I won't be pressured if any of the team lose the game. However, it's kind of hard to see a gambler that wouldn't feel bothered when the game they predicts are playing the opposite of their predictions. Even those that are gambling for fun don't enjoy every games, some gamblers enjoys the casino games and dislike sports games while other gamblers enjoys the sport games more than the casino games.

besides bet size I'd say that it is important to include the date (open and close), risk taken and some comment on your rational for making this bet
any other information you'd include on it?
I think this is valuable information that can help the reader and people new into gambling.

The only time I bet on sports that I don't enjoy is when I'm copying a bet especially those ones they post online, Twitter, telegram and so on. Most of the slips are mixed with different types of sports so I just stake low on it. But asides from that I'm also a sports fan that's into sports betting. I love watching and betting on my favorite team, it gives me an unexplainable thrill. Even if the match doesn't go according to my prediction I wouldn't be disappointed because my stakes are always low and I know that anything can happen in football. Every Friday I also like to do a little research on the games for the weekend with some head to head analysis, I always combine a lot of games to increase the odds but my stakes are very low. The goal is to enjoy the game and if you end up winning that becomes a bonus.

People who do that are many, however boxing is a sports that isn't supposed to be making a bet without watching the boxers for a long time because is not a sports of how hefty they are looking because you will see a lot of such people taking down easily because they gym to the extent that there muscles becomes heavy for them to constantly throw a punch for a good 30 minutes or hours, so I think is because of how majority doesn't watch boxing that much that's why only few people talk about it betting, however if somebody gives me a boxing game to bet I think I will do it because there is a bit consistency on that sports.

Came to conclusion that sports I dont like I will never use for betting. The reason is simple, people dont enjoy something they dont understand. Betting on that is not understandable is ridiculous. In such a way, even 1.10 odd can lose easily and gives no guarantee of increased chance to win. It is nice that casinos only include popular sports that everyone understand and majority enjoy watching, which means it is a rare chance that I will find sports I dont like among betting and it spoils my mood in some way.

Only Fools, Newbies, Delusional type of people who do really believe into those stuffs in about having no loss whether you are involved with sports betting or casino games.Its indeed true that losing is inevitable and there's no way that you can be able to make yourself having that straight wins or perfect ones. Dealing up with sports and making up some betting which is really that against or something that you dont know then this will really be that not entertaining on this aspect but still there are some bettors who do really make out such bets in despite on having no idea on what it is on which i dont see the fun part on this one because having no knowledge on a certain sport is really that making you blind and wont really be having no awareness in regarding into those informations on which are relevant when you are really that making a bet. In sports betting on which we know that such information will be that important so that you can be having that increased winning chance or odds on winning up the bet but of course there's no 100% assurance that you do able to win up without applying up these things accordingly. Also, you should be thinking that it is really that basing according into your own preference and everything will be that just for fun and entertainment.
