Most of the time I watched games I bet on but I feel unease at times when the result had not been favorable though Its fun all through because I bet with the amount of money I can afford to lose, I do bet on soccer matches especially the top teams whom I predicted would score more than two goals that is bet over 1.5 thus It is always fun after the first goal is scored very early while watching the match thereafter I feel relax and in happy mood that surely the next goal would be scored knowing it's a star match and both club are attack minded playing clubs.
Luck is important in sport bets and apart from that, the kind of strategies we are also using is every important because that is what is going to help us to win bets more without depending on luck or any other ways. People that has good strategies in sports bets will not always complain of losing money because they are winning constantly. We all want to be making profits but due to the lack of understanding on how we can make more money through gambling with real and working strategies, we tend to complain everytime of bad luck which is not always true. Working strategy in betting will always bring us fortunes depending on how effective it is.

I think feeling bad or disappointed when the result of the match you bet on turns out to be a loss is a natural feeling experienced by a gambler, as long as it is not too excessive, and as long as the feeling arises not because you lost money but because the team you favored in a match lost.

Basically I would say that in my opinion in any type of game especially sports betting the most important thing you should limit is the amount of money you bet and also your expectations of winning, such as what you do where you only bet with the amount you can afford to lose, and the benefits of both of these things are quite large where you will not feel upset because of losing money and also you will not feel upset when it turns out that the team you previously favored loses, because after all anything unexpected is very possible to happen on the field even if for example you choose a team that is statistically superior.
We are just humans on which it will really be just that normal that its something that we would really be able to feel out or the emotions that kicks in. Whenever we do lose up money on whatever chances or conditions that you are into then you would really be getting pissed or frustrated. There's no fun on losing money and it would really be just normal reaction to have. Gambling should really be that for fun and not for making money because on the time or moment that you would be finding yourself on a status on which aiming for money then you will really be finding yourself having that kind of pursuing on making up some winning and even if it means that you have lost it all, then you would really be that trying to make more deposits just because you havent been able to achieve on what you do have in mind.

I totally agree, watching the games is part of the fun, persinally I enjoy watching the UFC and box match, because those are fast bets. I don't like at all betting in long events like futball, for me is crazy to watch a 3 or 4 hours game to see the result change in the las minutes like it happens in the paste superbowl.

I am of the point of view that one should only place a bet on the sports that he or she loves to watch. This way, he will automatically the pro and cons of the teams and players and that will help in making decisions on which player/team to bet on. Watching a match and betting on it at the same time also makes it more interesting and it seems that we are ourselves involve in the match.  Smiley

And another COOL side is to place live bets in the current match because after the first minutes of the game we can realize who have better ods and make a better prediction of the outcomes.

I have been doing the same for quite some time and my winning ratio in such bets is high. The reason is that once you place a bet when the match is in progress, we are in a better position to know which team will win and hence can place the bet on it with more confidence. I have also sharing such bets placed by me in my posts.  Wink

Football  is an exciting  game to spectate, the fact that we also play football  most times to catch  some fun make it very interesting  to watch top teams  playing skillfully, and its more fun when you are spectating the team you support most especially  when they are on the wining side. The performance  of my team hasn't  been great lately and gambling on them seems to be a waste of money irrespective of the size. Well I still spend time to watch their games  and if I'm  moved, I might place a bet on them, but its fun though. How we could determine the winner of  match by watching their previous games and choose the favorite options which are likely to come through. But it all depends on luck who wins or loss a bet.

In my opinion there is no fun if the gambler doesn't watch the games. If he is betting on many games just for the sake of the potential profit he can make, it means he is considering gambling to be a source of money and not a source of entertainment. And it's in fact a wrong approach, because besides not making any profit on long run, he isn't going to have any fun too.

Watching the game is an essential part of the sports betting activity. That is where the excitement comes from. At same time, you have to watch the games to draw your analysis and conclusions about each team. A gambler who has his predictions decided only by third party's opinions is less likely to have success on his guesses. You have to develop a personal feeling and intuition regards players and teams' performances.

I have a similar opinion as I have a friend who doesn't watch games. He just bets on his phone because he likes to gamble and wants to feel good after winning some money. I feel like some of us are inclined to be addicts, as he's a heavy smoker and tells me about quitting all the time, but never does. He also drinks a lot and gambles without ever watching the matches.

On the other hand, I always watch the matches I bet on, rarely drink and never smoke. I like my friend, he's a funny guy, but I don't get the way his mind works Cheesy
I'd feel depressed if I had to bet on matches I don't watch and teams I don't follow.

it doesn't always work that way. It's not necessary to watch all the games you've added to your betting slip and that doesn't make your gambling an irresponsible one. Some weekends, you get see countless numbers of EPL and other leagues games that are playing at the same time. Even though you're aware that you can't watch all of them, you will still have to bet on most of them that you're familiar with and that you can at least predict thier outcome.

-snip-


Yeah, there is no obligation for a bettor to watch all the matches he bets on, because there are some cases where a bettor is only interested in getting money from a match, and has no interest in watching it because his goal is only to bet and get money, and that's all. Maybe in some matches he will watch it, but that is because he feels that the match is important and it is one of his favorite teams playing, but in other games he did not follow them because it was impossible to watch them all, especially when there were several matches whose schedules clashed.
Most of the time we are really that like this, we do even make out some bets into those sports on which we dont even know on which this is something that shows that you are really that trying out to make money out of those sports picks that you do have without even needing up any strategies or analysis that you do applied on the moment that you do make out some bets. Its true that there's no obligation for a certain bettor to watch out those games as they do hover and seeing their bet results. We do know that there would be those people who will be mind off about making money in the end of the day.

What do you think? Is it possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to be gambling for fun?

True entertainment can only be had by gamblers who bet on sports matches that they also watch, so if they make long betting slips, I'm not sure they are aiming for entertainment. However, in different cases, they might get fun, of course with a small betting amount, they do it just to try their luck on the analyzes they have done.
I think for me when it comes to sport betting when gamblers on sport they watch that is the real entertainment and they know what they are doing. I know gambling can't be predicted but it is better when gamblers bet on sport games they are familiar with. Betting games that you don't really know much about, I think one is just betting to make money by all means.

Playing bet on games that one often watch is fun and if one must also play games that they have no much idea about, it is important to just play with amount you can afford to lose, this can be fun to people just to try some luck as far as they are not putting mich money into gambling.

This discussion is mostly about sporting events, for instance, football.

Do you consider gamblers who bet on fewer games that they can watch to be gambling more for fun than to make money?

My answer
It is a yes for me, because fun is not just in betting on these games, but following up with these games by watching them contributes to the fun you intend to have. If you bet on so many games across many leagues that have kick-off times clashing, then you are obviously betting with more intention to make money than have fun because there is no way you are going to watch all these games at the same time.

What do you think? Is it possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to be gambling for fun?

Watching the games you bet on comes with a lot of excitement and anxiety especially when you bet on your favorite team, but I don't really enjoy betting on a single game and I don't have a particular reason why I don't do it but it's just not my thing, I prefer to place multiple bets and just monitor the scorelines on flash score or sofa score, this is what gets me excited and it's what I enjoy. I'm not really freaked out by watching the game as it progresses. Its very possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to gamble for entertainment purposes.

The whole point is that every gambler enjoys depending on their preferences. Someone makes bets based on their own analysis and enjoys both the process of analysis and successful results. Someone likes to watch matches and bets for the sake of additional excitement in the process of watching matches. Someone is looking for matches with a high probability of winning and he does not need anything at all, because he is just trying to make money.

You are right to say that it is physically impossible to watch all the matches. Besides, there is always an opportunity to watch the best moments of almost any match.

I agree wit you that whoever is gambling without watching the matches because he bet on many matches is only after profits and he will not enjoy the fun which is the main purpose of gambling. Watching the match makes you more happy because it is entertaining and you will learn a lot from the match when making your next analysis on any of the clubs playing next time. If you are very busy but bet on one or two games without watching it, that is understandable. It is good that you enjoy the fun and lose your bet than losing your bet without enjoying the fun. It is a double lost.

Catching gamble fun is when you are watching the game or you are following up the game, that will interest you that much, so I know quite well that gambling is all about fun but the purpose of anyone who is into gambling is to make money and that is why most at times you will see people dedicate their time to concentrate and watch what they have placebet on, so anyone who is saying that the purpose why it involves in gambling is because of catching fun, that is fact liar, so you don't need to believe on such theory, if we should interview people differently for purpose of participating in gambling you will see 85%will say its because of money
that's right, for example, the same sporting events if a bet is made on the events then watching the game becomes much more interesting especially in a circle of friends if someone bets on the opposite team or athlete. I agree with you that gambling is about profit but not at all about earnings. After all, you need to do it more professionally and spend a lot of time on analysis, etc. In my circle of friends, this is more about a light hobby and not about professional forecasts and what is no less important is that we do not have systemic players.
The effect after watching the match will be bigger because no matter what is the result, they will they will vent it out after the match is over. If they lose in that match, they will regret of losing their money. But if they win, they will happy and will celebrate it with people around them. What people don't realize is when they lose they will become angry and do something that may harm other people beside them and that can also make their relationship disturb. Maybe for some people, gambling is about profit but we must realize that we can not profit all time. Gambling can takes our money anytime so when you bet and watch the match, you need to be ready if you lose and will not regret it too much or do something bad for yourself or others.

I once experienced something like that where I enjoyed watching more than I bet in my gambling, but for others, they enjoy watching more when they see that they hit the bet while watching the match they bet on.

So, I think that there are many gamblers who experience that scenario, and maybe for others, even though they lost their bet but they still enjoyed watching,
they are still happy at the end of the game.

I do not think it is feasible for a gambler to watch all his bet slip at the same time and also, i do not think it is every gambler that watch the game(s) they bet for reasons being that they are actually avoiding a scenario of seeing their loses as it feels not alright with everybody. Although it is part of the fun but sometimes it just happens that one needs to avoid some situations of being to emotional after watching their bet cut. Naturally, you feel disappointed when your team losses a match not to talk of when you bet on a team to win and you were part of the match watching them lose their game making you lose your bet irrespective of the fact that you did that for fun or not. It is just a natural occurrence or experience to say.

You can always have multiple screen at the same time, or splitting one screen to show multiple streams of the sport.

But yeah, attention is limited, and it is hard to follow many things at the same time.

In reality, we are very bad at multi tasking, it's much better to focus on one thing only, and get that right.

That is a common scenario that a gambler does when they have many bet slips at the same time, and I think it is not a problem, because as you said there are still ways to pay attention to many bet slips at the same time by looking to move from one bet to another every now and then.

I think the point is whether or not you are able to accept the risk of the many bets that you execute at the same time, because when you have for example 5 matches that are bet on at the same time and if four of them lose then of course it is quite annoying, so I think if you really want to bet on many matches at the same time then prepare yourself mentally to accept whatever the result is, focusing on one thing in the sense of only betting on one match is good but the point is it all comes back to us regarding whether we are able to accept the risk or not, this is a choice.

As we all know, gambling is all about risk and if anyone is trying to to place a bet, they should already know what it involves and what it takes to gamble because not every time the odds enters for a gambler. So therefore ones mind needs to be prepared for whatever the outcome of the bet would be like whether a win or a loss, it is left for the gambler as he or she can not decide the fate of the game till it is over.

That aside,  if you do multiple betting and you want to follow up with the live scores, there is no wrong you can do that as long as you have access to the live games from wherever you are, but I think it would be a bit stressful and draining to be checking here and there for updates.

 Hehehehe it's meant to be part of the fun but sometimes it isn't because you get to see how the team you bet on sometimes don't do what you asked of them and it becomes so frustrating you wish you can get up there and do the job...😁
Gambling is supposed to be something you engage in as a pastime because of the adrenaline rush it gives especially when you watch your games but many people don't really see it this way that's why sometimes, the fun is out and they watch out of trepidation and souch expectation.

Well, some gamblers have a different point of view when it comes to this belief. Some would rather not watch the game especially if they bet a huge amount of money. Why? They are trying to not get stressed about what will happen in the game so they would just wait for the results and maybe get the prize if it wins.

For me, it depends. If I have two different games that I bet for and both are starting at the same time, I'd rather watch the game where I put more money than the other one. I like cheering for the team that I bet for but when they are losing, I just zip my mouth and forget about how much I lost as much as possible.
