Topic: sports you do not enjoy - page 8. (Read 2258 times)

I enjoy all the sports, football, wrestling, basketball, tennis, etc but I watch only the interesting games and not all the games are interesting. Sport games are for fun and you are watching and the game is interested then you will be in happy mood and forgetting many sorrows at the moment. But I like to play gamble with football game more than other  sports.
And I play slot games as well. Gambling is depends on the games that you win most. Everyone has their criteria for Playing gamble. From what we have read here and outside here, some gamble for fun while some gamble for profit and I also believe those who are gambling goe profit are more than those who are gambling for fun. Fun comes with regular winning.

When I was a kid, I really loved horse racing, we used to bet on a machine, but it was just a computer game, so it didn’t take much effort to understand the game. Real horse racing though is a whole different thing, and  even though it was my favorite game back then, with so many options now, I think it’s better to focus on just a few to have a decent chance of winning and I can't choose horse racing for that matter since my favorite is basketball, particularly NBA. Personally, I’ve never seen live horse racing, and since it’s no longer popular in my country, my interest in it has kind of faded over time.

I will never bet on a sport I don't like again, even if I don't know the strength of the fighter, I won't bother to make a bet.
It's just that I've tried it on UFC betting. I don't have much experience and knowledge about fighters, just a few. Sometimes with small bets just betting and speculating based on the Odds offered by the bookmaker. Of course, I didn't really expect from the bet. That was my mistake.

Indeed, it must be pretty boring to analyze matches in order to place bets without enjoying watch you are watching. I wouldn't do that, because for me gambling isn't a job, therefore there is no reason to place bets on sports I don't enjoy. Otherwise, where is the fun in gambling, then? Sports betting is only fun when we are excited about the games we are watching. We enjoy seeing the players' performances, and how far their teams can reach on the competitions.

By following their progress, naturally we will start trying to predict what will happen next on their careers or on the tournaments. That is where gambling comes into the scene, as it's an activity to add even more entertainment to the practice of guessing outcomes, as it involves financial rewards.

For people who are looking for money in gambling, they don't care about any sport for betting, while they think they can get money in that person, they will do it, as simple as people who are looking for money in the world of work, they don't care about any job as long as they can give They are enough money and income, and I think we can see it the same and even they force themselves to learn it first even though they don't like it, because it is compulsion from himself.

Maybe for you yes, it must be very boring and unpleasant I think the same, but people who have their interests will not care about it.

It's obvious that only a few gamblers bet on sports or teams they know too well. Many just bet on anything they think can give them wins. After all, winning is what every gambler looks forward to and not who knows what in any particular sport.

That's something I could do but it has to be on sports I've a bit knowledge of. I know next to nothing about dog or horse racing. I don't see myself placing bets on any of them even though they all seem like the regular track event athletes perform. However, if someone who's vast in such sports holds my hand and  assures me of winning a bet on it; why not?

Why not? For you, gambling is like a seasoning to the main course in the form of enjoying sports. And for others, it is a way to make money. These are the gamblers who will bet on "an unloved team" or "unloved sports". Nothing personal, just business gambling.

Of course, without such people the gambling community can't exist. Their goal is to win and they approach betting with calculation and cold blood, and not as a fun, unlike you.
 
Personally, I don't like going to work and working "for the man". But this and gambling with serious betting for winning, bring money. So, everyone has their own path, depending on their abilities.

As a casual gambler and sports bettor who plays for fun (apart from a few freebets and free spins which don't count ) I can't imagine myself betting on sports I don't understand or I don't like.

Perhaps, out of boredom, betting on an exotic sport I don't know could make some sense, but watching or simply following the results of sports I don't like is not in my plans, but it's really interesting to see what other users have said and have to say about this topic. I guess everyone has their motivations.

But the truth remains that we as bettors can not do without trying something new from time to time, and to be honest with you, when we bet on a game we are not sure what the outcome will be, the nervousness and anxiety we feel is actually part of what makes betting very interesting.

I remember vividly the very first time I tried betting an amount of money I knew I can't afford to lose on table tennis game, a game i usually don't give any attention but had to bet on it that day because a friend said someone gave him the game to bet on, I forced myself to watch the match and almost had heart attack because at a point, it seems I was going to loose my money, but luckily for me and my friend, just a few minutes to the end, things turned around and we later won it, was a fearful but fun experience at the end.

There's nothing wrong, but I don't see a point to bet on sports you do not enjoy, it's like doing something when you're don't want to do it, who force you then for doing it?

High likely gamblers who bet on sports they do not enjoy are following on professional gamblers or paid groups that promise their picks have higher chance to win. Manipulation mostly happened on unpopular sports or unpopular events.

Surprisingly you're promoting gambling when you're not enjoy it...

No different from you, I personally also bet just for fun, especially if it is just a complement to the excitement when my favorite team competes, besides also just wanting to try to sharpen the analysis, the way of thinking and also how effective it is in making predictions, in my opinion, of course betting on the sports we like is the right thing, because that way before betting at least we have an analysis in predicting,   Compared to betting on sports we don't like, which is often based on instinct and also blindly.

I have similar thoughts with the OP in this regard. I bet on football matches because I like watching football matches and I find them more predictable. Sometimes I also bet on other sport competitions that I think are more predictable, but I usually get less successful results when I bet on them. Betting on sports that I enjoy watching is always my first priority because I am more experienced. When I bet on other sports I feel nervous because everything is more uncertain for me then.

Not really that bad on trying out to something new because there are indeed tendencies that you will be liking or wanting or having that interest into something on which it isn't bad to test it out but on the time that you've been doing this because you are wanting to make money then this is where issues do really start. You are the ones will be having that huge problem when you do lose up money because you don't even know on what you are doing which is really that unlike when dealing up with sports that you do really know on what it is and same goes into the things which you are interested into. The time that you are going out of your knowledge and interest then this is where loses will be piling up.

Also, it's never been that entertaining that you will be betting  into something that you dont know. If you are a basketball fan and make out some blind bets on neither soccer or any sports then that surely shows that you are that betting for the sake of money and not for entertainment. Well, it will be just that depending on you on how you do find yourself adjust accordingly basing up into your interests. It's your money then it's your action and choices to be made but be sure that you won't be messing up yourself because this will mainly affect financial aspect.

Mainly trying out new sports can be seen as a fresh opportunity for some gamblers. Few months ago I was discussing with a fan of women football, he told me it's easier to predict teams that'll win a match. Though I'm not a fan of women's league but with his details and the information provided by this person to me, it gave me a second thought about the game. And I'm now considering trying to bet on female football. Once you have a friend who enjoys a certain game, they is a tendency you'd want to give it a shot. All games are interesting, just that it's boring to watch alone and additionally when you don't understand it, because you've not built interest around the sport.

It's not even about the mistakes for some of them but the drive or the need to want to be right and probably want to recover their lost funds makes them want to do more than they wold and some gradually develop the tendencies of addiction unknowingly.  I hope they tick to their niche just as you have advised.

Sports betting is usually something experienced people stay away from, here those who bet to earn money are the ones who get annoyed when they see their team lose. Such incidents can happen to anyone, because when I bet, I get annoyed at least when my team performs poorly.
On the one hand, my favorite team is losing and I am losing money on my bets, but the matches I bet on the most are football games. It ends in a short time and of course I am a football fan, which is why I like to watch one and I bet on the team that I have studied to be likely to win.

I enjoy sports but I don't enjoy betting. I don't like gambling but many times I face my many friends who invest their money or gambling. That time I remained again and again, "I'm not a gambler but why do I spend my time here and this type of people who all time engage their time in gambling? I think if I continue to spend my time with them then very few times I would invest there. So I think if you give a company with 3 rich friends the number 4 rich people you will, or if you give a company 3 gamblers then the number 4 gambler you will. So, avoid gambling and gambling people."

yes you might not necessarily enjoy the sport that you bet on i understand that you could make some money even if you bet on sports you find no enjoyment in but it would be pretty difficult to gather data and information about the sport, the matches, teams and athletes when you find the sport itself boring or sometimes even ridiculous
there are different kinds of gamblers after all some do take it seriously hence why they might not put any importance in having fun even if it is seen as a job for them to me it is still important that i at least enjoy what i am doing to some extent

I don't see this happening.

Yes, you can bet on a game without watching it, yeas you can bet on things you don't know much about.
But betting on something you don't like and you're not a fan of it, how does this work?

You need to know at least the teams, at least what game that is, and how they play, just betting on the odds without knowing what game it is. Then how can you hate it if you don't know the game at all? A bit of a conundrum how this situation would even be possible.



But he was betting against his team in a sport he knew, hell even I would bet against my hometown team if they would go the next day against Liverpool, but this doesn't mean I'm not a fan or I don't enjoy football.

It's unfortunate that people are still trying to figure out their mistakes and solutions in gambling.Ordinarily, nobody wants to be seen In places he or she is not wanted and needed.Gambling with any sporting club should be on your place of interest and comfortability.Any decision you're to take as a gambler is either the good one with positive or negative outcomes or the bad idea with neither any outcomes.Stick to your niche,focus and explore more often.
