Sports become more exciting when you are watching it and have money on the line. That's exactly how I started following sports closely. Now it's more about close inspection of the sport while looking at the odds and trying to rationalise if the odds are skewed and if it could be taken advantage of. Now I only bet on sports that I watch live. Takes away most of the speculations aspect as I can see how the teams are performing on a certain day.
When you bet and watch, you have conflicting feelings since your emotions are affected by how the game is going; if it isn't going your way, your mood will be different than when it is. However, if you do not bet and your favorite club plays and wins, you will be thrilled. And if you gamble, you will undoubtedly watch games because that is when you will be able to select good games; if you do not, you will gain experience, but regular viewing of games will aid when putting bets. And you must exercise caution when dealing with odds; some are too good to be true, therefore you must be prudent because you can lose more than once with a bigger odds. Most or will I say majority of people bet of sports. But I will not prefer not to watch sometimes.

Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.
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?

I would rather watch the game without betting money just to be entertained, it seems you are more focus on what you will get from the bet rather than enjoying the game, meaning that you are gambling to make money only, I can't say its completely not alright but having fun should be part of the reasons why we gamble.
If you are more concerned about losing and winning then you are on the journey of becoming addicted to gambling some day, because obviously you can't always have it your way, you will lose most games and win when you don't expect.
Going after entertainment while gambling is better, it makes you less hungry for jackpots and wins, if you have income problem gambling is not the solution, with gambling comes a lot of disappointment just as it should be, because its not business or jobs.
It's natural to feel that way because we all hope to win when we place a bet. Try to maintain a balanced perspective and remind yourself as a form of entertainment. Focus and enjoy on the game itself rather than thinking about the outcome of your bet, it can help with what you are feeling about your bet. And about the title, your question on which one is fun, if watching with bet or without bet, I think it depends on individuals preferences. Well, if you watch with bet, it's more engaging since the games adds an excitement and investment. while for watching without a bet, it's also fun since you can enjoy and relax without the pressure of losing your money.

Losing make betting hurtful, and for that it takes away the joy of it, so for sure when I watch the match without staking on them male me more relaxed to enjoy the match and since football is all about entertainment since we are nit physically involved in the pitch activities but just spectators it males more sense to only watch instead putting myself at risk betting and watching the game as well.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.

Betting suck at times and for sure if I bet on a game, I rather just go away from screen and then take a look at frequent to see records of the matches.
It's very important to approach Gambling in a way that keeps it fun and manageable. Gambling isn't an investment and definitely not a way to multiply your fortune so it would certainly be unwise to invest more too much to it because it might end in regret. It's such a shame that many gamblers actually consider gambling as a safe haven and a way out out of their financial crisis and insufficiency, which is a very dangerous and unhealthy way to approach Gambling.
A gambler does not need to do much research to know whether he is expecting more from gambling. If a gambler expects to win more then it can be assumed that he is expecting more from gambling which may lead him to worse. Among gamblers there are some gamblers who expect their winnings from gambling and consider gambling as a source of income for them. Those who want to enjoy gambling can enjoy it with betting or without betting it depends on the gambler. But a bettor might not be too happy if he is invited to watch sports at a sports betting without placing a bet.Gambling with sports betting is indeed fun compared to gambling with other games. In my opinion, betting on sports games is something that is very stressful for most people, let alone watching a match live with the team we choose. Of course all feelings will be one, there will be panic, annoyance and disappointment, of course everyone who bets will definitely experience something like that. In my opinion, things like this are very common things that happen to someone who gambles, especially sports gambling. So in my opinion, something like this cannot be overcome, because this often happens to everyone, especially if the team we choose loses, we will definitely be very sad and disappointed.
Betting with during sports gives different pleasure to gamblers. A gambler takes that time with great excitement.There are many gamblers who fix their bets before watching any sport. There are others who cannot bet because they do not enjoy gambling. Gambling without bets is enjoyable for a common people but gambling without bets is not enjoyable for gamblers.

Stress and excitement are not really that far from each other and the distinction between them can be blurred. Also, stress or fear are not necessarily bad either, i.e. that's why people enjoy horror movies or scary rides at fun parks etc.
So what you call stress, is not what drives people away from sports betting (or betting in general) but that's what drives them in. Other thing is, of course, the desire to make quick and effortless profit.

Although gambling is for fun but whenever it comes to lost everyone is sad. That is the nature of gambling, no body is happy loosing expecially when money is concerned. Whenever money is used to stake a bet, it is assumed to be a wining game despite people know it is an impossible sudjestion. When it becomes wining it is assumed to be a well predicted and assured game but when it losses we feel depressed and think that when is the right time to pull out this jackpot from the system? In all people feel disappointed when they have lost. That is the nature of gambling.

Additional bets during the match can be exciting, but you need to be aware of the dangers. The advantages include the ability to increase winnings and add adrenaline.
However, there are also disadvantages: you can lose more money if you fail, and get distracted from the game itself. It is important to keep control in mind and not lose your head while betting.

Moreover, feeling disappointment too deeply will not be able to change anything and will only leave sadness which might make us do stupid things such as trying to get another win and betting carelessly.
As for me: when my bet loses in gambling, I feel a little upset. But I try not to lose heart and not to lose hope. It is important to remember that there is always a risk of losing in gambling, but this is not a reason to despair. I just accept defeat as part of the game and learn from my mistakes. The main thing is not to go into a deep negative and not to lose control of your emotions. Next time I will make more deliberate bets and hope for luck!
No its not so foolish for expecting a win if you know for yourself that the team you are going to bet is more stronger than his opponent since we have what so called underdog teams competing to much stronger team which is top on standings. So if we go bet on more stronger than them then the higher the chance for us to win. But there are instances that our bets lose due to out of luck that's why we need to be prepared on each result shown and we should not do anything that can put us harm like betting more just to revenge on the lose we experience from the first one we made. I also don't regret whatever result shown since for me what matter the most is I have placed bet on my favorite team and I never fear to lose since what's more important is I enjoy the game and trying my luck to win the same with them.
betting on such matches is not profitable. unless you bet for a very large amount. In such matches, bookies usually offer odds that are not good for the favorite team. the chance of winning is great. but the profit percentage is small. if you increase the bet, it also increases the risk.betting on other options such as both teams to score might be an alternative bet if the Odds offered are more reasonable.

thing. It do only differs on sports betting and card games on which you could really be able to apply some analysis and strategy on which it would really be something that people would be differ.
In the question which one would really be fun whether having a bet or not? it would be obvious on which one is really that enjoyable. We do know that gambling is really just that
for fun and not something that you would really be able to feel up on the time that you dont have any money bet on a particular game.
Gambling is for leisure and entertaining and if you do find out that seeing or watching games without having any bets is entertaining for you then its good but if
its not then you would be needing to put up money on it.

We will get pleasure, satisfaction and feeling of pride when we watch and bet on team that we really like or make as favorite, especially if we win then all the feelings I mentioned will really be felt perfectly.
However, the most important thing is that we must be able to accept that if failure occurs or the final result does not match what we expected, because the favorite team is not always able to achieve victory.
As gamblers, sports fans, we must be aware that there are many unexpected events such as surprises, which occasionally appear and make many people feel disappointed, but everything must be accepted well.
If what is bet on wins and always wins then there will be no poor people and there will be no bookies because in betting or matches there are wins and losses and all this happens according to the ability of the competing teams.

Getting pleasure, satisfaction and a feeling of pride depends on the gambler and his reason for gambling. We need to understand that people from different walks of life gamble and so it takes only a wealthy man to bet on his favourite team and feel relaxed even if his team is not winning. Most wealthy gamblers bet on their team because of love, passion and encouragement for their team and when their team lose, the feeling of disappointment which comes after is not because of the money they staked but because their favourite team lost.
But this is not the same for a poor gambler. When you watch a football game in a viewing centre then you will be surprised to see different reactions from different gamblers. Some of these gamblers even abuse their favourite teams for not winning simply because they have placed a bet on the team to win. Well, some people describe this kind of gambler as a “plastic fan” but what do you expect from a poor gambler whose priority lies in making extra cash?
Actually is totally depends on individual because there are people who cannot handle or control there emotions when they are watching the club they bet on playing so bad, however there are also people who loves watching the club they bet on and doesn't easily get emotional if they are losing but the fact is that in as much as gambling is a game of fun is not always advisable for someone who cannot control himself to be watching the match they bet on because I have seen a case were a gambler stake a bet on a particular team with a huge sum of money and when he sees that the club was losing he became so emotional and do to how angry he was he ended up fighting some persons on the place, so perhaps this is the reason why is better for someone who cannot handle or control his emotions to stay away from watching.
Yes, that's true, if the game doesn't go according to your expectations, maybe what will happen is that emotions will emerge that can make everything fall apart. Of course, the main aim of betting is to be able to get a profitable win and if we only think about winning and don't think about losing, then what will likely happen is disappointment, because what will happen is probably only defeat and if we can't accept defeat then emotions will flare up. . this must be avoided.If you really can't control your emotions, then it's true what you said, don't watch, because just by watching, undesirable things can happen when the team you are championing loses, especially if you gamble and lose, there could be big problems, then Therefore, it is better to prevent than to cure, because if it happens it will be difficult to treat it, the possibility is like that.

There is nothing sweeter or brings out more passion from you when watching under tension, there is thsi feeling of beign part of the game and that is when you maybe played a bet and your watching a game from there or maybe your favourite club. So yeah watching a with bet is more fun to me.
