Topic: Where would you prefer to watch your favorite team? (Read 712 times)

Watching my favourite team alone can be boring, i preffer watching my favorite team in the company of other viewers at viewing centres or even a bar.

 Most times, watching matches at home alone is not safe for most people. Some persons can be too emotional and do not have control over their emotions. There have been cases where people collapsed when their favourite team lost, some will go as far as destroying properties and causing harm to themselves just because they are hurt that their favourite team lost. Those who love sports but find it hard to control their emotions should always watch their favourite sports in the company of likeminds. Having friends and likeminds around helps to lighten the mood.

In Europe it Cannot happen, because at least in my country smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages are prohibited, and this is something that we have to do to a Large Extent, in the event that we are doing with many stadiums in the world things can be quite well, I would think that things are better when there are non-smoking areas in front of everyone, if there are VIP Areas in the stadiums, they have a smoking area there, so in this order of ideas it is the only way I see what they have than smoking, of course with its air Conditioning in complete safety and with a television to watch the Game live and direct, although for me it does not make sense to go to a football stadium to watch it on a TV , for me the best is Go to the stadium and enjoy the football game as it is.

I will also love to add that not all families would be happy that the bread winner of the house is a gambler, in my society, most women see gamblers as people who are not responsible based on what they have seen some addicted gamblers turn into, and I do not  think many women would even encourage their husband to gambler especially when they are sure their spouse is not profiting from it, except it I the other way round. Well, asides gambling which is not our major point of discussion I totally agree with you about different family having different settings, in a family where only the husband is the only sports lover, that alone would make him want to move over to his friends or at a bar to watch his favourite team play while his family watch a TV show or whatever and of course the personality matters too, you do not expect an extrovert to watch his favourite team alone, it would seem boring doing that, same applies to an introvert watching the match at a bar or public place.take me for instance I do not enjoy seeing football match alone, I will rather watch with my family, friends or even go to a bar when they're not available, so you are right when you said the personality matters.

You have a point there, but we still need to consider that it is not about betting in this regard, it is about watching the match. You may bet your thing even if your family is here because it is not all that you do on your phone they see, and that is if you want to engage in the live match betting. Needless to say, you can conclude on your betting options and even place all your bets before the time of the match, which means that the family members will not know about it if you do not want them to know.

As for watching the match, it all depends as well, we have different family settings and even different preferences within the same family. The husband may like watching football and the wife may not like watching it, and of course, the children of younger ages will not leave their home to watch football in most cases. But if they love it, the father, for example, may decide to be watching it at home because of them. But if the father is such that his the only one who likes watching football, it is not a big deal for him to excuse himself to watch football while the other family members watch whatever they want or engage in other activities.

That by the way, it is a school of reasoning. In another school of reasoning, the personality of the person matters. If I am an extrovert, I will always love to watch it outside, which is the opposite of a private person or an introvert. Personally, watching football outside is not my thing, except it met me coincidentally in an honourable place where I can easily and freely watch the match. If not, I always prefer to watch my thing at home as "no place like home."

Yes, there is, but not in public or inside the complex, there is a designated place/area to that activity. But of course, there are still black sheeps who will not follow, so better to avoid them and call the guards or anyone who is in charge to control these kind of fellas.

I think there's a smoking area in any sports complex but not cigarrettes, by using Vape or E-cigar only, not really sure so correct me if I'm wrong? because here in my place, I saw a signage of smoking area but they aren't allowed you to enter any cigarettes, vape only. But I agree that it shouldn't allow because there are some people who really hates or not allowed to inhale any smoke from.cigarettes due to some health issues.

Watching anything whether it's a football match, a movie, or any other event can be boring if you are alone, but I would prefer watching a football game with my friends rather than watching it with the family because I believe it can be more fun with friends as you are completely free to do anything you want, you say anything without having to think twice because it's all your friends and you don't need to be careful with your words or anything.

Besides, when you are watching a game or a movie with your friends, there are jokes and fun and analysis of everything combined and it makes the experience very much enjoyable. So for me, the vote would go for watching a game of football with my friends and not with family or in a viewing centre.

Smoking you mean by ciggars? I don't think it's legal and allowed to smoke in the public place such as the gaming/sports complex/center, guards are always patrolling on such area, not unless if it's allowed by your government to smoke anywhere, the same rules and regulations on drinking alcohols on public places.

Yes everyone likes their place of viewing football. Some people have TV, laptop and mobile phones to watch their Matches but still like to go to the public viewing centers because for them, viewing at home is like a graveyard for them because it is too quiet but in the viewing centers everyone arguing from one thing to another and making the place and the Match more interesting. While some people like to bet on the game and went home with the ticket or the slip and just waiting for the Match to be over and go back to check the slip to know who won. And as I said, I prefer watching it in the viewing centers because there are different options about the Match in the hall. Though there are time, the two parties fought and to avoid that, it is good to watch at home.

Let's treat each one of the places one after the other, if we are in the situation whereby our family are also in support of gambling and have interest in watching some of the sporting activities, live matches and many others, we can always make subscription to watch at home together with our family members, same applies to betting a game if we so wish to gamble as well, but going out with friends and watching at the viewing center is not what many could accept doing, especially when they have family and responsibilities at home, they will rather use their house and family for that purpose.

But it use to cause so much trouble in the center  because there are some people who will be smoking, thinking that they are doing the right thing in watching center and you don't have the authority to stop such people not to smoke in the event.

And, there are some people who will be drinking alcohol when their team are winning at the moment, and you don't have the mind to tell them to stop drinking from the center and if you try to force them to stop,they will cause crisis in the event that will make people to run for their dear life.

But if you are watching your favorite game at home, it will make you to have authority over there, and it will make your family to be happy with your life style of watching football game at home.

if I'm making a bet/gambling, I want to be comfortable in front of my laptop screens and my internet multilines

I don't even dislike the bet while watching a live event at the stadium but it's very difficult to get the timing right for gambling ...

I prefer to watch it at home, where I am comfortable. Go get some food and drink, then go watch it. Sometimes when I watch basketball games, I am the loud type of person who says things like "Go pass it there!" or "Shoot it!!" or anything that makes me feel like I am part of the team. With that, I can feel the enjoyment of watching the team. I really enjoy it, especially when they win, but if they lose, of course it is the other way around; it will make me sad and I will lose the energy for the day. But that's what makes watching your team more enjoyable, because you feel like you are part of the team.

Watching a match live when your team wins is a great experience as not only you get to enjoy the win with your friends, you do it with a bunch of strangers that share the same passion for your favorite sport, however when your team lose it is terrible, as not only your team lost, you probably spent a lot of money you could have saved yourself by watching the match home, and all of that just for your team to lose, which in a way it explains why fans at the stadium can get very emotional when their team lose, as all their support meant nothing.

You get the point mate, I'm not really into chess and i don't have much experience in it but I'm a fan of football (soccer) and I can relate. There is  this joy when you view matches especially games involving your favourite team with family or friends who support same team with you. Back then when I still viewed matches very often with my family, my mom was the only one who supported a rival team and when our both teams clashed, lol sometimes we prayed for  our team to lose just to avoid missing lunch or dinner cause she was the one handling the kitchen mostly and sometimes even dad won't go unpunished, she'll make us beg or console her before we eat, then we'll all eat together and laugh over her teams lose and claim our team is more superior to her's. That's the fun of it all, the smiles on our various faces, the sudden laughter and silly jokes. But then we grew up and everyone went their separate ways, I miss the good old days.

Sorry mate but I find no boredom watching game match solely  though I am not  a football
fan but my basketball and f1 race watching is celebrated watching Pay per view.


well ,back when I am still a chess game player? we(with friends) are enjoying watching
matches together and indeed talking and arguing about each matches lol.

sometimes even before the event the tickets could be sold out because many others out there are very much willing to watch the game live as much as you want to and that has been a major challenge to watching the game live so if it happens that you actually want to watch the finals live you my not have to wait for your team to qualify first before you get to purchase the tickets as by that time you may not have any available again but to watch it on the screen, watching and showing your support to your favour team is actually a very fun experience that almost every fan will want to have a feel of.

The times i have been able to experience the real time live games, i can say for sure it's actually different from the once we do get when we happen to watch from our screen but the company of friends and other viewers tow actually adds fun to the whole game at times.

I am a kind of person that love my comfort, instead of going to a crowded place, i mostly relax at home to chill with a cold drink and enjoy the fun of the game, especially when it comes to my favourite team, i would rather stay in a quite place where I'll relax and make accurate predictions because I'll get distracted in the bar or wherever.  But that doesnt mean I don't go to the bar with my friends sometimes to view matches.

 You're right, there's always this joy that comes with watching your favourite team play and it gets more exciting when they're winning, at that point it doesn't matter whether you're viewing from your phone, the tv at home or in a bar with friends so far they're winning there would be no dull moment and sometimes it makes your day very okay. But when they lose it makes me all sad and emotional.

I usually watched football, basketball and Esports by myself  in front of my computer. Most of my family members are not into international league but rather watch local leagues which is pretty known in the country but I do place bet in international leagues and matches and I'm the only one familiar with the teams that's why I prefer watching alone than with others. Though some of my colleagues and friends are into Esports and we sometimes do watch together via party streaming and place bets at the same time, that's actually a pretty good experience.

I watch them and put my bet on the team I prefer.
The point of doing this is we are confident that they will the games despite no assurance because it is also considered as support to them. Honestly, you can feel the excitement and the rhythm of the game when you see them playing compared to watching other teams. It was a different betting session when compared to betting not our favorite team.

Perhaps, this is normal and even having a busy day, we spend time watching them. It was not just having fun but it is a pleasure as we love to see our teams on the court whether they win or lose.
