I think betting against your own team is often some of the best or most intelligent bets that can be made. Why? One typically knows their own team better than any other team, so if you're in a position to bet against your team, knowing that you know them as well as you do, and if you think they're going to lose and you can make money off of it, than why not?
When it comes to sports betting, I always say bet with you head, not your heart. I often have to remind myself of this when betting on Sundays (NFL football) or playing fantasy football.
Topic: Would you bet against the club you support? - page 7. (Read 1251 times)
Usually people are supporting popular club or club with many old achievement.
This make the club mostly become favorite even though they have terrible performance, but many people keep cheering for them and believe they're strong like they were. If you can bet against club you support, you can take advantage over stupid people who keep supporting their favorite club.
You will make a good amount of money by betting against your favorite club.

Well I never betted against the club i support I'll rather bet on other matches. However this brings us back to the question, would you bet against the club you support ?
It depends on the situation, if I need money and if based on my analysis the club I'm supporting is a huge underdog with no way to team I can bet against the team or club I'm supporting as a gambler we are looking for an opportunity to make money so why let this slip you, there are will be times that you can show your support to your favorite team.
When I was betting on horse racing I had a list of favorite horses that gave me a lot of winning combinations, but there were times that I bet against them when they were handicapped and they were up against strong horses It was just the way things on sports betting, you can remain loyal and still make money.
It's different if you are a very loyal supporter and you do not need money and just here out of loyalty to the club you're supporting.
Initially when I started betting I don't bet against the team am supporting which is Manchester United to loss, those time instead of betting against my team to loss I rather bet them to win even when I know it may not be possible but in the game of football nothing is impossible sometimes it will work out for my good sometimes too it will fail and having the club am supporting in my bet slip always make me feel uncomfortable when watching them playing, but now I even bet against them to loss sometimes to win since at the end of the week they will receive there salaries, despite they lost or won. And also knowing they are not in a good form now and it has been working out for me so that when they are been paid after lossing I will also be paid from the bet I won vis versa.
If you are happy with the money from your bet, there's no harm in betting even if you don't support the team you support, but if on the contrary you are happy with the team you support and don't like money and prioritize the team you support for self-esteem, there's nothing wrong either. you can do that as you like, everyone has their own goal in gambling, some are for money and some are for fun, but personally I never bet against the team I support, let alone my favorite team, even though I can make money from that bet. .
I'm not too tempted by money, let alone seeing the team I support lose, but we also have to look at what is meant by the team we support, if the team we support is a weak team that is at the bottom of the rankings, I think it is also difficult to support it fully. Moreover, betting in the opposite direction will definitely continue to lose, gamblers always have a choice on how they want to gamble and I'm sure everyone knows what to do when betting on the team they support, usually most of them skip it and look for other matches.

Yeah, this kind of thread has been posted before. I feel bad for that employee who gambled against his team and the company that he works for.
IMHO, if you're part of the company, it's normal to support them all the way. But if it's about betting, the company doesn't have jurisdiction about it unless you're entirely part of the club that plays on the field.
And if I am a supporter, I typically do bet against the team that I support if I think that there's some handicap that will make them lose and it's normal.

As employee he should know what is ideal for him and he should not bet on their enemy teams since that is morally bad to the club you are working on. Much better for this if we don't bet when we know that out team is facing a strong clubs. Then bet only on other team so that we can possibly avoid any conflict which that employee already experienced. To bad for him for losing his job just for that situation.
And same as you or other people said in this thread that I will also bet on other team if I know the team I'm supporting is on disadvantage side and their superstar or important players is injured. This gonna give us huge chance to earn so I don't think there's something wrong for doing this since this is I think normal since majority of us want to earn.
I think what matters here is giving courtesy to the company and team that feeds you and your family. If there's a clause on his contract that he shouldn't do such, the consequence that he got was probably fair on the team's end.
Apart from that, he might have been aware of it and seen it coming before doing the bet.

There is no significant benefit to remaining loyal to a team that is doing poorly. Just out of bias it might be hard to do but once you’ve made a profit and the money is in your wallet, you will once again feel good and won’t feel any regret.
The only time I can see it being a problem is when it involves national teams. Going against your country, even if they aren’t performing well, would be a line that most people could not cross.

It's possible to bet against the team you're supporting, it's all for fun sake.
You said it right, that's truly fun. Whenever there are some games that I'd like to personally see and tune in, if I am just tripping then I'd bet against my favorite team. This isn't odd at all because anyone surely have done it. Maybe some just did it through an accident but those that have done it on a purpose was what they like to do at that time.Most person say "they rather support their bet ticket than support their team when the odds of winning match is against their team" is quite funny though, but the fact that you bet against your team does mean you are not a good fan, after all your team has nothing to offer to you than just entertainment. Those who gamble against their team and eventually wins the bet will get excited for winning their bet and might even pay for viewing ticket to scream their next match live.
Very well. Your team will lose but you will lose money if obviously you know that the odds are favorable against the team and you have read some news that might affect the result of the match. That's why we have to be wise as well and we shouldn't just let our hearts decide in betting. Us, being a fan won't be gone just because we do this. It's a personal matter when we bet and do what you like to do with your money. 
Why not? Although we are fans of a specific football club, basketball club, tennis player, or any others but when it comes to betting then we should put it aside.
Without a doubt, we will always want to see our favorite team/player win the game and if we bet on them then we will be get extra fun.
But betting on players or team that we like because we are fans but and we ignore the odds, it can be said as dumb bettor.

Why not indeed, I have bet against my club many times but mostly as part of a parlay
where the other team has low odds and my team are nust not going to win, I bet on Rugby.
If my team are slight underdogs I wont bet against them though, I wouldnt be able to
watch the match, I would want them to win but for my bet against them I would want to
make money!
Its a tricky question but it really depends on the circumstances.
Pardon me if this post or something similar have been created before now. Well this post was inspired by a news from Football Tweet on X concerning a Swansea City FC employee who got sacked for betting on the club he works in to lose for about 130 times. It's so unfortunate he lost his jobs, Well some people were in his support and claimed it's not his fault for the club to keep losing and the man was only trying to make extra cash, while there were others who claimed it was betrayal and he should've supported the club as a true fan. Left for me, I feel he's not a fan of the club and just an employee and I'll do same if I were not a fan of the club I work for moreover the club kept losing and he seized the opportunity to make extra cash from their misfortune. Well I never betted against the club i support I'll rather bet on other matches. However this brings us back to the question, would you bet against the club you support ?
This is a personal matter for everyone; personally, if I saw a good odds, I would place a bet against my favorite club. There's nothing wrong with that for me. I didn't betray him, I didn't say anything bad about him and I won't stop being his fan.
Let me give you an example. I support Borrusia Dortmund and have been a fan of this club since childhood. Last Saturday I was even in Dortmund for the Champions League final which Borussia lost. I'm more naturally for Borussia. There was no interesting odds in the bet on this match, but if there was, I would have no problem betting on Real winning.
I think that the situation with this man was that he was an employee of that club and was not setting a good example for other people.

I'm willing to place a bet against my team if it means I get to win some money, but it becomes another story when i'm a part of a football club and i'll be betting against one of their matches. I'd rather not risk losing my job over a one-time bet since there's a conflict of interest. In sports betting, you sometimes have to set aside your emotions and learn to take the opposing side except if you're working for a club or team.
Also, here's a link to the betting incident in case others are curious about the details.

If just being a fan or evenea player and you've already figured your teams potential that they'd loose the match of course you can predict against your club but deep to sincere emotions you still wanted your club to win.
It's just that you can't help and you just want to win your bet but if as a club member or staff where betting against my club is against the policy of course I won't oppose my team because my job is most important than the one time time that's possible to get my job lost.

As a player, in most countries you're forbidden to bet at all. Betting against yourself or your club would look like you're cheating by using insider knowledge to gain advantage, knowing that your team is for instance not cooperating and arguing.
As a manager or a coach, it's pretty much the same. You shouldn't bet because you're closely involved.
Being a fan, I also would prefer not to bet than bet against my club.
Although for me I don't see anything wrong in what the employee has done. In as much as gambling is concerned, anyone is entitled to dicetion making in which ever club he wishes to play provided there is no law that forbid it. Where it would have been problematic is when the club has set a rule that prohibits employees from gambling against their club and an employee goes contrary to it. Though it is good to support what you represent, wether good or bad. just like we promote campaign here. There is no how someone would be in a gambling campaign and be promoting altcoin campaign. Surely such person may be kicked out of the campaign unknowingly. So in Oder words any company that hires you, have control over you in the aspect of what they hire you for. And you don't have any right to disobey them in their rule provided they are paying you for that. Except you no longer need there services before you can decide to promote other peoples business.
However this brings us back to the question, would you bet against the club you support ?
Working for a club, a brand or a company doesn't mean I have to eat, support or choose them at all time. Yes while I'm at work I can decide to play along and just support them even though I'm not a fan. But sacking me from my job just because of not being a fan is kind of irrational and unjust. It might be that he just wanted to make some money and had good odds that the club he worked for would loss the match. It's just unjust that he got smacked for little thing like that. For me, I will still support my club or bet against them when I see that they won't be able to win the match it doesn't actually matter who we placed our bets on it called gambling for a reason.
I will bet against them without regretting it. There is no rule anyway that states that betting against your favorite club is wrong or bad. My money is involved and wether I win or loss, it my own decision and i will bet against them when i know they are underperforming, if they are in form I will support them. I cannot afford to risk money when I know either I win or loss, players, official and Team Managers will still get paid. So why will I care or jeopardize my bet because I am supporting a team.
I don’t bet against my team for a number of reasons. Liverpool don’t lose many games so it wouldn’t be a very profitable tactic over a full season.
There could be a scenario I guess, where I would in the future. If we were for example 10 points clear in the PL with 4 games to go, the odds on the chasing team(s) would be long so it could he worth putting a little on them to win the league incase Liverpool choked. I’d win money then to ease my state of depression

First of all, he can bet on any online site and against the club he is working for and no one will ever know about this fact that he was favouring other clubs and not his own in his bets. But how come the club he works on came to know about it. He did wrong if he told his colleagues or even his superior that he is betting against the club.
Anyway, if the club is strong enough, they can win and the employee can lose his bet. If the employee wins, it means that the club is weak and there is no point for the employee to bet on that club and lose money. Also when you are working at some place, there is no such terms that you cannot bet against them and this will not harm their business directly or indirectly.
No, It's different. Let's compare this situation with an example, imagine you are working at Google company but you are interested in the success of Microsoft then what would be your decision if you were in the authority of Google, just fire the person who is ditching his own company and interested in the competitor and that's how I see this decision whether it made by the club or the board seems fair to me.
As an Individual is not involved with the club directly can chose to bet against or support of their club.
That's right, if they work for a certain company then they have represented the company in all actions outside of work activities. In my opinion, it is impossible for us to go against our own company by placing a losing bet for our team unless you have a grudge with your boss or other work partners.As an Individual is not involved with the club directly can chose to bet against or support of their club.
I would rather not bet on that team than if they found out that me going against the company would have fatal consequences for my job status, they would not hesitate to fire you and that decision is a consequence that you receive in any company.
