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?

You are having this feeling because you are expecting too much ,each bet you delivered you are looking for the highest winning this is why each time you felt that way while the truth is you know that most of bets will lose if not all.

There are several people that I met in which having different strategy that they are closing their eyes before the results comes out so they will be surprised if win comes and just a little disappointed when lose.

There could be other ways, one of the biggest reason is probably he is gambling with an amount he can't afford to lose, something that we can't say we are just gambling for fun because if we lose we will consider it as a significant loss. If we are serious that's when we start risking bigger money, and we will only do that because we trust our skills to make us profitable, but unable to control our emotion or afraid to watch game we are betting, most likely that bankroll will not last as we might sooner or later panic and make stupid bets.

I find it stressful as well to watch a game or an event that I have bet on. I have mostly stopped betting on sports because it was not an enjoyable experience to be constantly anxious. I only bet significant amounts on a few big events each year and that’s it. Everything else is just small wagers just for fun between friends or in other casino games where the outcome is instant and I don’t have to sit around a few hours stressing out.

Every gambler has a different experience when it comes to live gambling. There is a lot of excitement among gamblers about where they are in that bet, whether they have a chance or what mistakes his team has made, etc. They don't even make any other decisions until that bet is over. And for those who bet but don't watch live, gambling is enjoyable, they may lose or win bets but they don't have much excitement because they don't understand the conditions of gambling.

There are some gamblers who especially love sports who definitely enjoy watching sports live. Here some people bet for the enjoyment of the game so that there is excitement but many can't take that excitement.

Watching while having a bet is giving you more excitement and a little bit of nervous because of the money that you've risk on that game that's why whenever you watch betting game, It will give you a roller coaster emotion that you can't explain if you are supposed to be happy, sad, nervous etc. I agree to you, placing too much bet money that you can't afford to loose will give you a problem and stress, so do not pressure yourself to placed larger bet just because other people doing it, You have to follow your own instincts as well.

the main reason I bet is when I have a game of interest, and place a bet on the game am watching I will be so excited, and also the same time I will have high hopes, if I notice the game is not going in my favor I will see if I can make cash-out the most painful thing will be that you cashed out and you latter won as predicted, you will defiantly be pained, that is gambling for you and that is why it is based on prediction. and the annoying thing about betting and watching is that you will be so frustrated that you will just want things to go your way, gambling is not like that it's pure luck even if you know that this club is good. and sometimes you might not even see yourself winning and that is when you will win. and there should be a limit to the kind of money you use in placing a bet. wasting too much with this hard economy now is not wise.

very well said, so it's better not to expect to win when we gamble because sometimes, when we don't think or worry too much about winning, that's when we get luckier. I'm not sure if others have experienced the same or is it just me? but that always happens so when I place a bet, I don't think about anything, I just let luck move for me.

Watching others gamble might be fun, but not much. But you will have more fun if you gamble and bet yourself so it is always better to bet yourself if you can afford to lose that bet. Because gambling is a very risky thing, if you gamble there, you have to accept losses So it is not bad to have fun by betting the amount as per your ability. Because it can give a lot of fun. so spending some money for entertainment is not bad

Good. We are in the same boat.
I find it more thrilling too when my money is in the line. So, that should actually be the essence of gambling. Better, we are trying to entertain ourselves the right way.
Battling with a stranger must not be fun at all.
So we add a thrill to the formula. We don't just watch games anymore, we also like to be part of them and by betting for our preferred team I think we are successfully doing it right.

When I was a kid, I didn't really care about betting. Most of the time, the betting comes from person to person, and since there are many of us watching the game, especially in the Finals we bet against each other or in groups. Nowadays, it's different, a simple . I am not even inviting my friends to come over and play or watch a sport. A simple video call will do but that's all because of the damn pandemic. Those people who work from home are bound to see the gambling ads and I think that's where I started. When I realized my preferred sport was being offered in one of my favorite gambling sites here, I took a bet and tested my luck.

For me, it is more fun to watch with a bet because it gives you a thrill and makes you feel like you are one with the team that you have a bet on. And that's where "gambling is just for fun" comes in. Imagine just watching games without betting; it feels like you are empty because you are just a spectator, waiting for the results. But if you gamble while watching, you are supporting the team that you bet on with a lot of heart and dedication. So for me, it is better to watch with a bet. Also, it is the reason my friend is gambling; he wants the thrill because it is kind of boring just to watch games.

But, of course, be a responsible gambler; don't bet a lot of money just because you want to feel the game. Bet the amount that you are okay to risk, so if the team wins, then okay, you win too. If the team didn't win, then it is fine since it was just a small amount of money. With that, you won't get carried away and get depressed when the team loses.

I am sure many will agree that watching with a bet is more fun but for me personally when I am watching my favorite team playing I love watching without a bet.That for the simple reason that when the bet goes wrong we tend to get mad and we lose the real enjoyment of watching our team playing.Yesterday I was watching a team I love to watch without betting as they did not win and I would be mad double the amount,one for not winning and one for not winning the bet.

Watching with bet has got a different kind of fel but it's not for the faint hearted because in such situations you have got double adrenaline rush all over you which actually includes that for your favourable team and for your bet which you have place before or during the match, but these things is based on your preference whatever it is your preference is to watching the match should be employed so I wouldn't want to outrightly say one is better than the other, they are both applicable based on the preference you have on either of them.

I love gambling while watching because I'm usually extreme with my fun than so I would really want to ha e a dual feel and so would place a bet on amy favorite team a d aswell also watch tham play.

That all depends how you define "fun" I guess. Some people would watch horror movies or go to roller-coaster rides, get scared (which is a negative emotion) but still consider it fun.
Placing a wager on a game is a bit similar. It provides way more excitement than watching a game without having any stake in it.
If you value nice, relaxing time over high emotions and excitement, then watch without betting.
I would always advise against betting too much. It's a bad habit and will cause too much stress. You don't have to bet a lot to have a feeling of having a skin in the game.

Each person has their own way of making things more enjoyable, some like to gamble while others prefer to relax and enjoy the game without gambling, it's up to each of them.
I myself prefer to watch matches while betting, for me it gives a different and thrilling atmosphere when I do it, especially if the team is a team that we like. Not only can we be happy to see them win, we are also happy because we won the bet, but the risk is also the same, we will feel disappointment twice in one time. I am also not arbitrary in determining which match I should bet on, if the risk is 50/50 I usually avoid betting on that match.
For others, maybe they will enjoy the match more without any burden, I mean by not putting our money in the match, then we will be more relaxed in watching the match. And again it's all based on what we like, and it's legitimate to do. It's just that maybe my message here is not to force something that we don't like, for example we don't like betting we force ourselves to bet, that's not wise.

Yes, this is what i do prefer but its not bad to watch up games that you do know even if you dont have bet.Money isnt everything and you could be still be able to enjoy up the game watching it just because the team
you are rooting to win is someone whose you are fan with. Just like on what im doing with esports betting in Dota2 on which there are really moments or times that i wont be making out such bet just because
im busy or wasnt really on the feels on making up such bet because there's no reason for me to do so specially if the match is almost break even or really that match. This is the only time i do consider
on skipping out bets if ever i do face up such situation but it doesnt mean that i cant have some fun on watching that particular match.

It is really just that there are people who wont really be that satisfied on the time that they wouldnt really be placing up some money into their bets and this is why
they do prefer on putting up some funds or money into those teams and thats surely adds up on the thrill and this is something that makes someone
really that addicted.

Gambling games can be emotional. Losers typically feel bad. Remember, gambling produces emotions.
Managing stress and failure in gambling demands the right mindset. Set realistic expectations, accept losses, and gamble for fun rather than profit to control emotions.
Keeping a gaming budget decreases stress and losses. Taking short or extended breaks during games can help you stay calm and focused.
Have fun gambling. If gambling becomes too emotionally draining, consider it as a healthy kind of entertainment.

Sometimes if you bet wrong, then watching is painful. Some people have to turn it off at that point as the game is ruined for them. Dont bet too much that you cant walk away from it and just write it off but a bad bet especially if you got something wrong, missed someone is ill or something is frustrating. Losing isnt fun but the tension of a possible comeback is cool, my advice would be if you dont care about the game without a bet then do not bet in a flippant way especially don't put a lot on a game you wouldn't watch; otherwise as you are closer to a random outcome then a good judgement call on the game outcome.

We also need to consider, do we bet on the games we love, or do we just bet? That's the thing that matters too, not enough is being talked about that. I mean if you are ending up with a win, that is always good, does it matter if it is a sport that you like? I don't watch tennis at all, but if I bet on a tennis game and win, does that mean anything different? I would personally be equally having fun with that.

So, the question OP is asking, for games that we should be enjoying normally as well, if we bet and have more fun, that should be on games that we would have fun anyway without betting too. Betting may enhance the fun we gain from watching it, and it really does, but if we do not care about that sport, then its unlikely betting would change that.

Sometimes I bet on games that I don't know the club nor the players. I make my prediction base on their previous matches and the recent performance of the team and I'm good to go. As a gambler, you can't watch all the games you know, you might be occupied with other things and wouldn't have that time. Your focus should be your bet and should go as you predicted. Some of the bets matches are interesting though if you have the match and when I bet on boxing and my team lose, I see it as fair because he will definitely be whoop in the ass for not winning.

The games I can confidently watch and bets are only single bets, these games are short and not time consuming, you see your predictions under 2 hours and that's what I love about these games. If the games were that long bets, you will not find them interesting because there is possibility that some might even crash especially games like Premier league where two or more matches are played at the same time.

It's also fun to watch gambling, but for me it's more fun if you're the one playing, you're the one gambling. It's normal to lose in gambling, it's also normal to be disappointed there are times because we make strategies and we predict that we will win but in the end we don't, we always lose. That's normal because you're thinking of a way to win but you're really unlucky. Just don't spend your money gambling if you know you're unlucky, because there's something like that when you know you're unlucky today so don't continue.

Either way is fun.

If you are stressed when you see the game and your bet losing, you can just use some techniques that are not going to hurt you and, how?

Simple, don't watch the game and don't let yourself absorb that stress that you don't deserve. Life is too short and all you have to do is make yourself comfortable with that bet and wait. Tongue

Without a doubt winning a bet in a sport that you like feels very different than winning a bet on a sport that you do not care about, and this is because winning a bet on a random sport does not feel like much of a win, and while you will be happy, as winning is better than losing obviously, this is a feeling that will disappear rather quickly, however when you win a bet on a sport that you love, you will feel vindicated, you will feel as if you really know what you are doing and that this is the result of your expertise on that sport, and as such the excitement coming from that win will be felt for a longer period of time.
