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?
In fact, I think that clarifications need to be made. To begin with, let's completely discard the case when we watch the game of our favorite team or the team we like - it is obvious that we will experience emotions here without additional stimuli.
Now as for the bets - they can be either frivolous ones made just “for laughs and entertainment” or serious ones, when firstly you risk a significant amount for you, and secondly you spent a lot of time to find an outcome that in your opinion has value and trying to make a profit. I think it’s not worth clarifying that the outcome of the game on which we made a serious bet worries us and can really put us under stress.
How do I deal with this? It may be hard to believe, but I prefer not to watch the game online and just spend time (with or without benefit hahaha) and only when I know for sure that the game has already ended I check the result. And I do this even with games of my favorite teams (if the game has serious tournament significance or something like that) - for me there is no problem watching the game in the recording knowing the result or simply not watching it at all, knowing that the result will upset me. Yes, this is a rather selfish approach and “real” fans may condemn this behavior, but I try to avoid stress, disappointment and bad mood
