Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.
If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?
Gambling is only a hobby when you play with a very small amount of money, having no impact on your life, or when you play for fun, detached from the money involved. However, most people gamble with the hope of making more money. In that case, they feel joy when they win and certainly disappointment when they lose money. I understand the tension when watching a live match that you've placed a bet on; I've been there, especially when the outcome has a significant impact on my budget.
It's only few of us probably gambling with a small amount. Because if we look at how profitable the gambling industry is, it's easy to assume that lots of money are going in, so with that information, we can tell that there's plenty of gamblers who are spending a lot of money and I'm pretty sure that most of them aren't happy with what they are doing.
OF course, who would be happy when they are losing money, right?
Moreover, after a few losses, the next bet to recover the lost money is often emotionally charged. We tend to be quite emotional while watching live games, and I think many people can relate to that.
Some people often say that watching live matches without betting lacks excitement, but that's just when you're starting out. Once you've experienced a few losses, the thrill is replaced by the pressure of watching the game live when it doesn't go as you hoped.
That's it, sometimes we think of chasing because we are getting emotional, and that could usually happen during the live betting as sports does have longer outcome compared to games like roulette or other popular casino games, so along the way there's this live betting that we may take as we want to make sure we'll end up profitable when the game ended.
