Topic: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? - page 20. (Read 3205 times)

I think watching or enjoying a game of soccer without betting on it is probably best because it reduces the stress level that one would pass through because betting on a game and actually watching the game can cause someone big time stress especially when your team is at the losing end and not to talk of if the actual team is said to be a certain Manchester united  , imagine the stress you would go through watching Manchester united play their nonsense and actually spoils your bet.

It is fun when you watch when you bet, and also fun when you do not bet, It all depends on the person. For someone who is already used to betting on sport games after many years, and they are already  used to to the suspense and thrill of expecting their picks to enter, it will not be fun to watch a game if they do not bet on it. This unfortunately has become the condition of many long-time gamblers because they no longer can enjoy watching sports if they do not bet on it.

It's generally going to be a lose lose situation, as bets are generally bound to losing more than they are to win...though you're not always going to be disappointed - Here are most of the possible scenarios (excluding draw scenario):

1. You are watching a bet - No bet on yourself - Bet wins
Result: You are disappointed that the bet loses.

2. You are participating in a bet - You put a bet on too - Bet loses
Result: You may regret that you put the bet on.

3. You are watching a bet - No bet on yourself - Bet loses
Result: You may be relieved that the bet loses and that you didn't bet too.

4. You are participating in a bet - You put a bet on too - Bet wins
Result: Best result.

Scenario 1/2 are negative, scenario 3 is neutral, scenario 4 is a positive one.

4 possibilities and only 1 is positive...that's some pretty average odds, I wouldn't take them.

Of course, this excludes any positive/negative emotions that you may have while the bet is finding its result.


If you are "coping" in these scenarios, maybe you should reflect on whether gambling is a healthy thing for you or not.

A bet almost always make any game more fun to watch. It does not matter what sport you are talking about. Try to play poker or watch a horse race without betting any money, not fun at all.

The gambler who watching the game of their friends may get stressful,because he know the financial status of his friends.If they in the loss side,if will change your friends position to upside down.So being a friend,you should stop to make your friends to bet the little amount for the little possibility of winning matches.The game thrill is feel only if you play the game,by watching the game you can just give your opinion to your friend.If the sports bet was game play by your friend,you can do the opinion by your sports knowledge about the playing sports bet.The football was the mostly played sports betting in the gambling site.


The stress can be the enemy of the gambler who doing with the real money into the gambling site.The gambler will get emotional affected after he start to lose the money from the multiple bet in the gambling site.The gamblers should learn to handle their stress by the loss of multiple bets,he can easy back the loss by the following bet.

Well, watching a football match or any other sporting event we have bets on is the most exciting feeling for, the adrenaline release  and feeling is always at its highest, and this is not just about winning alone, but also about losing, it's always the same feeling for me...

For example, when I bet in a sports event that is being played and I am watching, my the team I bet in is winning, I am always very excited and want not game to end quickly before the other team scores and ruin the whole thing, most especially if the team I have my bet on is leading or winning with just one goal, it's always a very exciting feeling..
And on the other hand, if the team I bet on is losing, I usually don't want the game to end so that the team I have my bet on will have enough time to score and possibly win the match, again, this feeling is always very exciting as well.

In the end and generally, watching sporting events is always very exciting if we have bets on it, most especially, if it's an amount one can easily afford to lose.

That's when you lose to your favorite team, try if you win the bet, your mood will definitely be different and you will feel smiling after seeing the results.
Make betting fun and be ready to lose what you can afford, never force it, I bet on football with a little money that is ready to lose, when you lose it won't be too stressful.

Stress is a natural thing where you will be disappointed because you lost a bet, but you have to return to your principle that betting is just for fun, not a profit. If you win, just consider yourself lucky, if you lose, you are unlucky.

I also feel the same but I won't worry about it.

Watching with bet is much more fun and that's why people do it anyway. I mean surely there is some money involved as well and that's one of the main reasons, but if you watch a game without betting on it and if you watch a game with betting on it then you would know the difference and you would know which one is better.

It is not even something that needs to be asked, it's simple, you have two games, you bet on one of the games and you do not bet on the other game and then you tell us what you felt like ,if betting made it better or not. Most people have their own response, for me it is clear that betting makes it wildly better, it's not even remotely close and it's clear that it's much more better and can't be worse at all.

The gambler should ready to play the friendly matches before start to play using their real money.But the fact is they will do the involvement of real money in the random betting on the gambling sites.This was the biggest mistake made the gamblers who were new to the gambling,the experienced gambler should share this to the new gambler friends.At first the new gamblers should ready to accept the experienced gamblers words,So he will able to do some minor blunders in the gambling site.The gamblers who had experienced in the sports betting should not start their betting in the casino.Because it was the basic knowledge the betting in the gambling casino was based on the probability of betting option.But the sports bet need to have sports knowledge to make betting in sports bet.

Of course, feeling disappointed is normal in betting when you lose even though we realize that this is just entertainment. For example, when I bet on football, I placed a double bet, and the last match ended in defeat, if the match had not yet ended, of course to finish it, I would not watch this match again until the end, I would sleep.

Because with sleep my feelings of disappointment will disappear, if I was still watching this match I would definitely bet again. Because I have principles in gambling, I always put enough money into gambling every week, if I lose I won't add any more money. I also apply this to avoid addiction.

When you play a match money bet after playing a friendly match you can find out the difference between the two matches. Whenever you play a match with money bets, your teammate will try to play at his maximum and the game will seem more serious to him. Football Cricket and Badminton we play almost by betting. When a football match is played with betting we tend to perform much better than what we normally play, although betting games are a bit more gambit but still the game is much more interesting. There are 11 players in a team and each of them takes equal amount of money to bet against the opponent. In this case, every player will have to do well because if they don't do well, their money will be taken by the opposing team. It is this urge to do well that drives the 11 players in the team to perform very well.

for some people, watching the match they are betting on can be a little frustrating, especially when the match is not going well and there are many things that are outside their predictions, it will make bettors quite disappointed with the team they are betting on.

but if someone is quite frustrated when watching a match of the team they are betting on, there is no need to force themselves to watch it, because whether they watch the match or not does not really affect the final result. so instead of wasting time, it's better to do other activities which can divert their attention from the match.

If we place a bet on a match and the team on whom we place the bet is winning, then in that case it is enjoyable and fun to watch the sports. However if our team is losing, then it is very stressful situation and even if the match is close or thrilling, we will not enjoy watching that sport because we are losing the bet.
Even after the match, we will be sad, not because our team lost the match, but we lost the money on the match bet.



If someone says that do not watch the match, after placing a bet on the match, then it is also a very difficult situation because once you place the bet you will be willing to watch each and every moment of the match because if you do not follow the match, you will remain in suspense as which team is winning and it will add to your anxiety.

whether you bet or not, you will still choose a team anyway. we are always going to pick a team to cheer on even when we are not very familiar with the sport. even when you are just watching a street fight, you will be rooting for one of them, so you might as well put some money on when you watch a game. in the football game which i'm not a very fan, i still try to cheer up the team i want to win.

i have been watching boxing for a long time but after i discovered that i could bet on those matches and win some money, i tended to watch more and bet on my favorite fighters.

when a person is watching the game of two football teams for example and that person is not a fan of any team that is playing, but that person is watching that game because it involves two good teams and it is an important game in that tournament then that person will not feel nothing if both teams draw in the game or if one of the teams wins in the game. now this scenario changes when we have a game between two football teams and we have made a bet on that game, whether it is a bet that there will be many goals, a bet that there will be few goals, or a bet that one of the teams will win the game, the person will watch the game having expectations that there will be a game that will get it right

but when during the game the person starts to see that they didn't get anything right, they start to see that as soon as they finish the game they will lose their bet and consequently they will lose money, then the person starts not to consent to the game itself and keeps thinking about the money they have. you will lose and soon you no longer look at that game as something fun, because that game is causing you pain, unfortunately it is very difficult for most people to play for fun, they play for profit, although they can lie very well saying that they are playing for fun , to test whether a person is really playing for fun, simply invite them to watch the game they bet on and see if they will actually watch the game without getting irritated

I think it all depends on the person, because there are those who just enjoy the game and there are those who enjoy the game while looking for profit, of course by placing bets on a game it makes the atmosphere more cool or more tense, because there we have money at stake, of course everyone wants the bet to win but not everyone will be lucky there will definitely be losers and winners.

I myself like to bet on my idol team, because I have an idol team that I think this team can beat all its opponents so that's why I dare to bet. in order to add to the sensation of watching also becomes more exciting.

I think the question is best answered this way. Imagine wagering a bet and all the games you picked have played except the last one, which is Read Madrid vs Osasuna. You decided to watch it on screen and you're very certain it's already a won bet because of Madrid's superiority. During the encounter, Madrid didn't play they way they used to, they were wasteful, had couple of good chances squandered and they lost game, so you lost your bet.

The game will spoil your mood and your day. The whole day, you'll have the game playing on your head. However, if you didn't watch it, you'd still feel bad for losing the bet but you'd not take it as someone who watched the game and saw all the nonsense they played. So I prefer not watching the game I'm betting on, the anxiety and stress is not worth it.

That's fine since its normal since sometimes seeing the game is somehow stressful if you have bet place on it. But I normally watch the sports I bet since somehow it adds up the excitement and I will not have any doubts in mind if bad result will came and also be happy with the team winning achievement when they defeat their opponent then also enjoy the money I won from that bet.

But sometimes if I know my team is losing I leave up those game and will not watch anymore since that scenario will bring a lot of stress that's why its better to leave those stressful thing and move to another favorite game then bet to try out our luck and try again.

Same for me. If the games listed within the day are too many and most of them are on the same timeframe then I will just pick some of my favorite teams to watch and then just be updated with the live score of the other bets that I made.
A good example is the NBA. Tomorrow, two at 8:30 AM in my timeline and then another at 9:30 which means there will be a collision. I don't like changing channels so I'd rather stick with one. Then, two more at 11:00 AM I'd pick one again because the 8:30 is already over at that time.
Back to having bets, I think I have the courage to watch even though it's a losing bet. But, most of the time I'd switch the television off if I saw that there was no chance to win. A blowout.
Or, I'd rather look at the next game on who will play or not, check the players warming up, and the updates from the sports news.
Recently, I made a 5-leg parlay, I already won 4 of 5 and the last one was on the brink of not covering the spread that I chose. That's when I didn't watch the game so I would be surprised. And yes, I was surprised, I lost. No cashout was available because the game was running after I won the 4th leg.

following a match where we bet on the match, of course, many gamblers do it. I also do that but for matches involving teams that I really like. and for other bets, I usually just follow the live score to see how the bets I make turn out.
Feeling annoyed when you lose is human. Some gamblers do bet to win, but we are all aware that there is luck that determines whether we will win or lose.
