Topic: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? - page 10. (Read 3205 times)

That is how it should be, but in the real world where we have people buying things they cannot afford on credit all the time, and in which some people go as far as to ruin their lives in the process, then it is not surprising that we see some people gambling in the same way, if anything it is surprising there are so many people that are gambling and that are doing so in a responsible way, since this would mean there are way more people that are responsible with their money than what I would have thought.

It cant really be avoided not to have those kind of reactions considering that we are just human then it would really be just that normal that we would really be having those kind of impulsive
actions knowing that we dont really like to lose money but on the sense that we are really that finding for some thrilling and leisure then this is what gambling could give and it is really giving up that kind of
thrill and other emotions on which this what makes that you entertaining but of course it would be depending if you arent that serious enough about making money or being profitable
because this what makes you that having those kind of emotions been changed if you do have that kind of mindset.

It would really be just that according into your mindset in the first place because if you do make out bets just for the sake of some sort of income or being liking to get profits
then for sure you would really be having that kind of thinking that you should really be winning up the bet on which it is really just that making you desperate in the first
place and its never been that recommendable.

This is why one should only gamble what they can afford to lose. You will surely feel anxious or worried when you see your team losing if you have made a bet with money that wasn't meant to be used for gambling because you know things aren't going to be well if you lose. However, if you have made a bet just for fun and the money that you have used is directed towards your gambling activities, you wouldn't need to worry much and simply enjoy the game thinking that losing and winning is part of the game.

So, in my opinion, people who make bets for fun will find a lot of fun watching the matches that they have made a bet on, but those who have made bets to earn a lot of money will not have the same feeling, especially if their chosen team isn't doing very well and they can see their money going away.

While gambling is fun, when a bettor places bets and watches live games, there is bound to be excitement in him if the stakes are a bit high. I don't feel so bad when I bet small but when I bet big it must be a bit embarrassing to see the team doing poorly. I think the situation would be the same for almost everyone who is human. If anyone bet there for fun too. Who wants to lose a bet? But some people bet but their feeling of losing or winning is not huge especially those who have a lot of money and who are not addicted gamblers. Those who are not greedy for betting money. A lot of excitement in live sports or betting won't work for those who can really control their greed.

Indeed, "skin in the game" intensifies any activity, especially sports betting. Gaining or losing something increases our emotional and cognitive engagement. This intensity should be enjoyable, not alarming. For mental health, this distinction is essential. However, we must be careful. Gambling can be addicting, causing risky behaviour. Responsible gambling and self-regulation are essential. Always remember: betting is enjoyment, not a necessity. We bet for fun, not to make up for something. Group betting might be exciting due to its social side. This must not lead to peer pressure or irresponsible betting. Betting should be a fun sidekick to enjoying the game and company.

Yes, and the initial understanding that must be paid attention to and prioritized is in terms of the risks that exist in gambling, understanding the basic concepts of gambling and also how luck works in gambling is very important which of course will enable you to be a responsible gambler when the end result is really true. lose, because it is not uncommon or even very many gamblers who come without understanding the magnitude of the risks involved in gambling so that they are trapped in a cycle of emotions resulting from losses that occur or even dominate, the inability to accept risks can really make someone act out of control because his emotions got the best of him.

Therefore, as I said and you have mentioned, understanding the magnitude of the risks in gambling must be prioritized, this will minimize the occurrence of excessive emotions because from the start you have realized that gambling is about winning and losing. It's true, sometimes we are still often fooled by the emotions that are within us when the situation is not on our side, it is very difficult to be able to fully regulate the emotions that are within us but I think that's a normal thing, and the most important thing is that at least we have know about what we are doing, especially understanding the risks involved in gambling and not just focusing on the chance of winning, so in my opinion don't be too serious about winning and it's better to just enjoy the game and not be too focused on winning.

This is a cool topic as I had this discussion in real life a couple of times and I am happy to chime in here.

I personally think that watching the games you bet on is a lot more fun. It is a bit like having drink at a party to feel the night more intensively and involved. Sure it isn't quite as relaxed if you bet an amount that hurts when lost, but I mean this is different discussion. Like don't bet more than you can afford to lose bla bla. But if you choose a bet size that you are ok with losing, the thrill during the game feels more intense.

I think whenever there is skin in the game, everything feels more intense. If you play table tennis against a friend for 50 bucks, the game feels not the same as if you were playing for nothing. Skin in the game makes a big difference and it is up to you to choose how thick your skin in the game should be. Don't exaggerate and I think betting can be a cool booster for the experience when you also watch the game. It's most fun when friends are around and some of them have placed their bets on different outcomes!

with Bet of course , there are 2 scenario that may happen and that is


   - We will win and enjoy the outcome.


   - We will Lose and still enjoy the outcome .


Gambling must be for fun , but it is stupidity not to expect winning so if ever win then we should be thankful but even if we lose still we must be joyful at least we have tried our luck right?

Gamble only with the amount we can afford to lose.

It is just a very bad mindset if gamblers are not conscious of what they do and also take responsibility without letting it affect them. I always blame every adult who does not know their gauge and limit in what they do. No matter what you like or do, if you do it without thinking of the consequences, there is a high possibility that it will never be good or well with you as it can influence you. This is how I see the situation here, so it is good to moderate things so that they will not moderate us. We know what we did and how we can react to it, so watching it might not be the answer at times but for those who have their minds, or should I say that are mature enough, they are good to go as it is might not pinch them in any way, This is partly why I advice that gamblers should even be gambling with the amount they can afford to lose. At least with this, they can control their emotions and gamble rightly, and also look away when things are not forthcoming as they planned. This is best instead of acting emotionally in a manner that will still not solve anything.

We have to really understand this before we start gambling so that we don't experience increased emotions, which will cause us to lose self-control. I agree with not focusing on winning because that can make us disappointed after playing gambling for a while, especially since we know that winning is not easy.
Many gamblers have felt it, and in fact, we often feel it, so we should be able to learn from experience and not repeat it again. We have to understand many things so we can gamble comfortably and not think about winning. After all, we gamble just to have fun.
But in any other session, I wouldn't watch it. That can prevent me from all the feelings that will arise after finishing watching, whatever the results will be. It is difficult not to be influenced by what we see, so this requires continuous training.

Obviously for the problem of self-control, especially good emotional control, must always be possessed by everyone (gamblers), because as you said all of that is to minimize so that they avoid acting out of control when they know the final result that turns out to be losing for example, because usually someone will feel upset and disappointed when it turns out that the final result is not in accordance with what they expected. I think to minimize everything is from the beginning we must have instilled the right understanding firmly that gambling is about winning and losing, don't focus too much on winning because what is feared is that the final result does not match what is expected which can ultimately make the disappointment you feel so high.

In the event that you're not sure whether or not you'll be able to do this, then you'll be able to take a look at this article and see if it's a good fit for you. For myself, I often bet while watching the game and even though there are some mistakes made by the team of my choice which can certainly be detrimental on the other hand I am normal, upset is definitely there but not too significant.

Those who watch the betting game must control their emotions to avoid falling apart. Indeed, watching the match can provide them with more knowledge. But they also have to be able to control their emotions well and not be influenced by the match's final result.
It is very difficult to keep our minds calm because there is a feeling of anxiety when we see that our chosen team cannot face the opposing team and the opposing team can even put pressure on them.
It is a choice for them and if they could think clearly, maybe they would choose not to watch the match rather than not being able to control their emotions. That will give them time to do other things without being affected by the match.

The fact is that betting on a match greatly increases the interest with which you can watch the match. But the fact is that if you often bet on matches, you will want to know the result as quickly as possible. For example, avid gamblers bet on ping pong because... The result becomes known quickly there, because matches do not last long. That is, in the end, the gambler will find it boring to watch the games, because sports will be a formality that will allow them to get money or lose it. You can just as easily bet on world events or elections and the like. And it will no longer look like a sport. Just multiple attempts to get money.

Yes if you are involved in any type of sports betting then obviously it's not just luck that we need but as we are discussing here that the skills that you have also have a significant influence to help bring yourself closer to luck, so it's like combining luck with skills, but the fact is that it's all still uncertain because anyone will never know if luck will be there at the same time, and that's the reason why even though you have pretty good skills sometimes it's not uncommon to still end up losing... If you don't believe that all of this always refers to luck then why do some win and some lose? and as I said sometimes even those with good skills still lose, I already mentioned the reason above. If you don't believe that it all comes down to luck then why do some people win and some people lose? And as I said sometimes even those with good skills still lose, I've already mentioned the reason above.

This is basically the approach that is more recommended, none other than all that is done for safety so that we avoid some problems, especially those that will occur in our finances, yes I understand this is not a new sentence that you just heard but doesn't it hurt to always remind and share positive opinions? obviously, for the problem of whether they will do it or not it is up to them, this is specifically for people who want to get out of financial problems due to the wrong approach to gambling.

watching while betting is much more fun than just watching, because if you just watch there won't be any emotions, it's different from betting while watching, we will be emotional and focused on the game because if what we support there is hope so try hard to see the game more details

when you place a bet, it can disrupt your focus on the game, because when betting, only the result, the outcome, is important: winning or losing. Because of this, you may start betting but stop watching the game and instead start checking only the outcome. If excitement takes over you, then this will happen constantly and for various types of games in which the player does not even understand anything. This can happen if the player wants to win back. This is one of the options.

If you look in general, it all depends on the size of the bet; if the bet is too large, then the interest of the game can completely evaporate. I still prefer, if I bet, to make a small bet and fully enjoy watching it.

There would really be only two results or outcomes on which it is really just that winning or losing. When you do gamble then you should really that get prepared for those outcomes and make yourself that emotionally prepared too on which it would really be just that right that you should really know on what are the things that you would be able to meet up. You cant really just that make yourself do bet out without having those kind of emotions but what usually pushes up that kind of emotion is on the time that you do put money on it. You cant really just that make yourself not to make any reaction
specially if you do have that kind of betting on which it is already involving money. It would really be so hard that you do react but you havent make any bets or involved money.

I don't know about you but you're different OP, and I have to say that I'm the same as a lot of the other gamblers here and that it's more fun to watch while betting rather than no betting at all because you know that there's a stake as to what's going to happen and so it ends up with you doubling the fun and loving the team that you're a fan of more than ever. Another thing with betting is that it's a thrill seeking kind of fun so you're more happy than usual, but I also get why you're stressed out OP, one thing that you can do to get that out of your system is if you don't worry about the bet or just bet what you can afford to lose.

You just nailed it, some people watch their bet games but they fail to understand the emotion attached to this, there are two things involved in gambling, which is losing and winning, these are two really fact about gambling and in each bet or stake either if this two is bound to happen, the truth as gambling it very difficult to keep your mind calm when have existing stir that's running or in progress, unless you ate not a serious gambler, for serious gambler any stake is an avenue to win, they don't see losing as an option, how I wish most of them will work with this information and strategy you borough here, but is unfortunate that must gamblers can never see this as an option.

That's the right thing to do, don't get affected if your intention is just to have fun, with money that you can afford to lose, it's not hard to move on after every lose. But of course, since it's gambling and we aren't here to just accept losses, we also aim to win, so it's a win-loss situations everytime, but accepting we will have more losses than wins is very important.

If you are just gambling to have fun, this negative effect such as addiction will not happen to us, why? Because we aren't too emotionally invested, unlike if we make gambling as our passion, we aim to improve and sometimes we got too emotionally attached, which would result to being indiscipline in managing our bankroll.
