Topic: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? - page 8. (Read 3202 times)

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.

Gambling gives more pleasure than watching gambling. I think gambling is a bad addiction for me because I am more addicted to gambling than before. I feel happy when I win but when I lose  It's very difficult because in gambling I only hope to win because of which I get upset when I lose in gambling. At first I thought gambling depended on luck but now I think luck is needed along with good experience in gambling.

You can have fun watching others gamble but not bet yourself but it won't be much but if you bet yourself then your emotions will work which will give you more fun and also you will feel sad if you are more than you can afford to lose. Bet the amount and lose It. So I think you will have more fun when you gamble yourself and bet an amount instead of just watching others gamble. You won't have fun just watching others gamble. It will only attract you to gamble.

That's a way to look at things but you have to understand that it's not black and white when it comes to this, there's some people out there that can bet a huge amount of money without having any shred of anxiety that they might lose all of that money but at the same time they're enjoying the game as much as those that are betting small amounts so they can still enjoy the game without being worried that they're losing a lot of money in case the team that they've placed their bet on loses. But still, it's a matter of personal preference and the way we take things, it's so different so we disagree on some things.

I agree with you. Money really amplifies our emotions. Not just a gambler's story - its embedded in our psychology. Besides money, we bet our ego, decision-making skills, and fate.

I must emphasize responsible gambling. Know that gambling should be fun, not a financial strategy. The pleasure of betting, the rush of winning, and the pain of losing are powerful emotions, but not more important than financial security and mental health. Setting limits, recognizing the chances, and never letting the risks threaten your health are all part of healthy gambling.

While I agree that money makes gambling exciting, I prefer a balanced approach. Gambling might be exciting, but we must be responsible. Finding the sweet spot where the thrill of the bet increases the experience without harmful consequences is key.

Sometimes watching the match that we choose as a bet will make us focus more on the score than the progress of the match so we don't really enjoy the progress of the match and that makes us very curious about the final result of the match.

You are right, sometimes I do it when I see something interesting to choose after seeing a team or athlete that will achieve certain things because when we only choose bets on live betting but not see the match will not have a completely correct picture of what is happening in the arena but the results can still be wrong.

A very normal human being reaction on which it is really just that typical on the emotions that we are showing on which it would be getting in line with the things that we are currently dealing with.
We do know that it wont really be something that cant be avoided but if you are making out some choices but doesnt have that getting involved with some amounts then you wont really be able to
feel any emotion because there's no money involved on which we know that this do really add up the spice when making betting. This is why if you are a gambler whose really that a fan on
making up bets then you would be always preferring that having money would at at stake.So it would be a normal approach on where you would really be preferring into.

It could be fun or it could be stressful to watch, depends on the game situation. Of course when it's a lopsided game against your team, obviously that could be very stressful to watch considering that you've also put a bet on your favorite team. But when it's in favor of your team, then it's not gonna be exciting to watch as you'd probably feel comfortable for an upcoming win. What is exciting for me to watch and place bet is when it is a close game, like for example the finals of the NBA. However, sometimes when I don't feel like placing a bet to any team because I don't like the odds, I could still actually enjoy the game, especially again if it's a close game with both team exchanging leads.

Putting bet on a game you watch is having more waves of adrenaline. Some people find excitement in watching the betted game, others say the real fun lies in the unpredictability of the outcome. The stakes feel higher, and every twist and turn in the game becomes more thrilling. It provides the feeling of more involvement that can contribute to a more enjoyable experience. The emotional wave of wins and losses during the game can be a significant part of the excitement.

Some people would say that being involved in watching the game allows for better decision to make during live betting. Observing the flow of the game can provide insights that might not be apparent before it starts. Some people prefer not to watch the game they've bet on, because it can be less stressful. The outcome of a bet is uncertain, and avoiding the emotional thrill associated with watching the game can lead to a more joyful gambling experience.

I am one of the fans of soccer and I quite often watch matches in almost all major competitions such as EPL, I am a fan of soccer and I quite often watch matches in almost all major competitions such as EPL, La Liga and Serie A although I mostly watch EPL and La Liga and of course there is always betting that I do to make this more exciting but when talking about watching matches and betting that i do. I personally don't pay much attention to that because I just watch what I want to watch regardless of whether I bet on other matches (if there are conflicting schedules) I think in the end it's still the same because I really like soccer and the betting that is done is only as a support for my gambling needs every week because I can't give it up.

Personally, I've never seen it as a problem. Putting a wager on a sports event makes it much more enjoyable for me. Having a stake in a game is completely different than watching it without any investments (be it money or emotions, i.e. watching your national team etc).
It can be stressful, but not all feelings of stress are the same. This one is more of an excitement than a negative stress. Something like watching a horror movie when you're a kid, you're scared but don't want to stop watching.

I don’t think this is true. Because you will definitely be worried if the team you bet to win isn’t winning. Or maybe something else that could be done is that you could just watch a couple minutes of the match, and if your preferred team isn’t winning then you find something else doing, but if they are winning or have a really good probability from their current gameplay then it’s safe to watch. That’s when I can agree that it’s interesting to watch as you’ll be filled with smiles and joy because you know what is coming your way.

Someone with that kind of mentality could most likely watch a game in which they made a bet and not get frustrated if things do not go their way, and if anything they may enjoy watching the game even more as now they have something at stake other than their personal feelings about which team they may like to win, however I am not going to deny there are a lot of people that are very passionate for sports that take everything to heart, and losing a bet while watching the game in question will probably ruin their day.

Each bettor must have his own way, some see completely what is being bet there is also with the final result only.
I myself tend to leave what I have bet because my psychology is still not enough if I see the whole match every minute. so I decided to put a bet and leave it. if I'm lucky maybe I can win and if not, I don't bet also for my mental health.

I love to watch most matches I bet on. It gives me hope that my prediction can still be right especially when the team I bet on is playing well. Also it help me to make a live prediction on that same game. This live prediction may later be the one that will win and give me back the money I have actually bet on the game before the match.

    It is naturally to feel some kind of way when you are watching the game you place bet in lose. Generally nobody likes to lose especially when money is involve. Gambling being a thing for fun still gat people feeling sad when they lose money, because when they think about the different things they would have spend the money it’s saddens the heart. I believe that what’s meant to be will be, for you sanity it’s is best to stay off watching the match you place bet on. Because expectations will be so high and once they are not delivering as usual it’s becomes an emotional game.
    As a game chance, it should be known that any thing can happen and the game can go against you, and if you are a person that can control his/her emotions you see your actions reacting to the game. What’s meant to be will be like I said earlier, you don’t necessarily have to follow up games, trust your intuition because that is what will take you far. Free your mind off games do something different, watch other games for your peace of mind.

Well, each person sees things in different ways, when we are in one place we have to see it whether we want to or not, of course if it is a physical casino , because obviously things are like that, but if it is an online digital Casino, then we can close it , or look for Another page and be Looking at something else other than that one , but in reality it is good to See why so it is better if what we do is good, no, this does not stress me out Much, what can cause me some Anxiety is when I trade and I see how the graph has Moved and if my movie I Made or my prediction is correct and it happens a lot that I don't see it then I lose, but when I don't see it and I don't pay much Attention to it I can sometimes Win , it's like a mental question where We must learn to see things in other ways, where they do not imply that our emotions feel and are Made to the Surface in order to have good Profits, it is Something that is not good to take it as if it were a good Practice because we have to be Prepared for Everything to gain or lose.

In the casino it can be fun , in Fact when I play the Slots,  I like to see what I'm doing, it's incredible, because it's something that amuses me and since I don 't have an associated fear of Losing money there because as I've said before in other Opportunities , I'm not looking to win in the slots , but what I'm looking for is basically to Roast the time, to see it as a Service , I think many can Say that this is not something normal and that it is not good , but that's how I have fun I think we all Should have the right to have fun as we Want , because at the end of the day it is our money that we are Putting in not the money of the rest, we are responsible people and when we Decided to be in a casino it is because we want to do it Well and we Cannot stop or do Something for which We want to be Better , then in this order of ideas things will be Superior in that sense, they will Always be done better if we Assume our goals with Responsibility.

Actually watching game you bet is what makes it to be fun but some of you will choose that is not going to be fun when you bet without watching,  what I really want us to know concerning gambling is that you don't need to bother yourself since you know what to do and what not do, sometimes I do go and watch when something that doesn't relate with in gambling is happening and secondly people catch more fun when they did bot bet in gambling because they are watching the gambling because they fan such particular gambling and that is while they watch without more concentration

You would really be having indeed that kind of improvement on the time that you would really be making involvement with sports betting on which you might be that not that
successful or really that winning that much but the experience and knowledge that you are getting is really that contributive on the things that you would really be doing in the future.
Unlike when you are dealing with luck based ones on which it wouldnt really be having those kind of changes as these things mostly rely matter on luck in bigger percentage
which it isnt really that something that you could apply on sports. Yes, it might really be needing up that luck since its gambling but with proper knowledge about into those
small detail then it would be that significant on sports betting.

I would probably draw a line between someone who likes to have some least amount of skin in the game in order to make something more exciting or whether has to place excessively high bets on a regular basis. I can understand when people place little bets as it is sometimes like adding some spice to your food and it doesn't necessarily mean someone is addictive. I mean most people also play for a few bucks when they play poker because, you know without any money being at stake playing poker isn't fun. But does that mean someone is addictive already?

I assume this could end in a lengthy discussion as the topic itself is complex. Where does addiction start? Is addiction always connected to negative consequences in some shape or form? But if OP asks the general question whether it is more fun to watch a game with or without skin in the game, I would say that placing a bet is more fun unless someone bets an amount that can destroy the fun when the bet is lost.

If it's really just like making it a little bit more exciting because other friends are around or so, then it can't really hurt and doesn't mean someone is addicted in the most negative sense.
