With the game itself, the emotion is already great. With bets and a friend by your side being in some way your opponent at that moment, it will really be a very troubled time. I don't think it's worth discussing this, just accepting the result, unfortunately.

I guess we've all experienced this, although in different degrees. We're sometimes emotional when it comes to the teams we support, cheer, and bet on. But I see no point in getting really angry except perhaps if it is very obvious that a victory is stolen or something like that.
But some fans are just unruly that even ordinary calls are enough reason for them to yell or even mob the fans of the opposing teams and even the players themselves and the coaching team.

Sports live bets are full of sentiments, grudges and unnecessary arguements because there are always persons you could Chanel your grievances towards.
I as a Nigerian went on a bet with a South African friend on today's match for the Semifinal of the African Cup of Nations league, my prediction was that Nigeria was going to win and my friend predicted that South Africa would win and we had our stakes of $10 each deposited on a reliable and a trustee so that there isn't going to be bridges of bets.
Was the bet for only full time or it included extra times and even penalty? The match was an emotional one, more like the final of the competition and I know many people, including friends engaged in similar bet because the fixture had some political undertone that covers the supremacy struggle between South Africa and Nigeria whereas the former see herself as more advanced and better while the later pride herself as the giant of Africa.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
You cannot be a citizen of either countries and not have your emotion fully engaged in the match. There is no point fighting the emotion that should be fun of the game. As for engaging in such bets, I have not done it in international match before, unless I have forgotten when but it should be a regular thing for club sides are popular among strong club supporters.

Buttressing this whole thing, we individually feels cheated at every blown panelized whistles and of course there is are felling amongst us that any goals scored against our oppositions is not Worth it so there is always room to point at either the referees or the coaches for being biased just because of the game ongoing is not playing towards the favours of our desired teams.

If you are getting too heated over $10 you might need to stop gambling right now. No telling what you might do if you were betting a couple thousand. Better to not find out right?

In all seriousness, a little bit of trash talk is fine as long as it stays fun. If you guys are getting really crazy with each other you prob should just watch the game and not bet.

You guys have to be the most emotional of fans to not enjoy the game because of a bet in opposing teams. Some may find a $10 bet too big but the amount is too small to ruin the fun.This is to an extend, there was no more funs about the game due to the point of personal interests to make sure our supported team wins the match.
It's the opposite case for me. It actually adds more since we can tease whoever placed money on the losing team.

This is why you separate your emotions from your bets. If you keep getting emotionally invested at every bet you make, you will really not make the most of it and will always be looking for reasons to justify your emotions instead of accepting this as they are, to the point that it's no longer enjoyable to watch the game you used to look forward to. For me, the best thing to do is to pick favorites but don't get so invested in them that I throw rationality out of the window just to 'defend' my team.
the truth is sometimes it is hard to separate the emotions especially if you are a die-hard fan of the team you are betting with. so you feel like you are also part of the team while they are playing the game. but if you are betting good amount of money, you should be very practical on things as the team won't care about your funds getting lost with your bets. maybe root for them, but also don't forget that you are staking your hard-earned money and as much as possible, at least get something out of it and not just follow your emotions

Otherwise, being a social fan am always surrounded by friends and family watching a game and we have deliberately agreed we all can never be on the same team as it takes the fun out of the game and agreed to have supporters for each side just to mix things up while watching these games on a big screen...and sometimes it does get heated up as the underdog does come on top with people losing big bets & the alike , but at the end of the day its all fun and games and we have a good laugh and move on..nothing personal to hold to heart!

Whether it's betting live with your friends, or betting via casino and sports betting platforms. When you don't have good enough emotional control and are unable to accept defeat, something bad will still happen to you.
A person who bets directly with his friends, and one of them has poor emotional control and is unable to accept defeat, then when the betting session is over he will immediately divert and vent his annoyed feelings towards his betting opponent by saying things that don't make sense. sense until it ends in a fight. Likewise, regarding someone who bets through a casino and sports betting platform, when they have poor emotional control and are unable to accept defeat, after the betting session is over and the result is a loss, to vent anger, emotions and disappointment over the final result of the bet, I Seeing them look like crazy people because they keep babbling incoherently and often blaming the platform for being deceptive and unfair, and quite a few times when they lose, they immediately throw their cellphones to pieces.

The fun about some activities for some people is after the activity has been Carried out, not during the activity while it is still ongoing. Gambling on some of these kind of games where you are a strong supporter of one of the teams can take away the fun during the game but later after everything is completed, if you sette and think of it, you actually had fun, just a different kind of fun.

The grievance in this bet is something exceptional that one gets provoked at any point the referee blows the whistle against your supporting team or at the point the referee is sensed to being biased in the game. The worse of it is watching your friend walking away with your money if be the winner. Lol
February 08, 2024, 05:52:46 PM
The scenerio OP described is perfectly normal imo. The fact that both you and you friend want your respective team to win is perfectly normal in my books because everyone who places a bet is hopeful that they'd win their bet. That's why it's easy to get attached and emotional when it doesn't go according to plan because no matter how we try to sugar coat it, it sucks to be on the losing end of every bet.
See it this way => your friend is losing money to you, that's appropriate. Compared to him losing that money to a random guy on the internet plus there's bragging rights too. Bets are a zero sum game anyway.

I've experienced this, but the bet is not money. Whoever loses must be willing to buy the winner's favorite drink. Unfortunately, I often lose and buy drinks for my friends who win. There was a feeling of disappointment because I had lost, but in the end, I decided not to think about it because it was a normal game and I didn't use money. Even though I lost, I can still accept it, especially since he is one of my friends who is used to gambling, especially sports betting. Yes, there is a feeling of wanting to win, but we have to leave it to the performance of the team we choose so that if they lose, we also can't blame them, so we should be able to accept the loss. But there was indeed excitement among us, especially the winner because he got a free drink.

Somehow I think you both allowed yourself to be denied of the fun in the game because of your bet probably you both staked more than you can comfortably afford to lose and that was why it was able to draw your focus to be more on your stakes and not on having fun because if you both had gamble for fun there would be no need for the whole worries.I as a Nigerian went on a bet with a South African friend on today's match for the Semifinal of the African Cup of Nations league, my prediction was that Nigeria was going to win and my friend predicted that South Africa would win and we had our stakes of $10 each deposited on a reliable and a trustee so that there isn't going to be bridges of bets.

Staking what you can afford to loose at a time on a bet is what allow you have fun amidst the bet regardless of whatever is it the results bis turning out to be, a similar experience once had was a live game at the casino and I actually wasn't interested in the game but the results and winning so I definitely didn't have any fun watching the game, such situations make you have too many biases about the game and so the only way I tried to get my self out of such situations was to make sure to always stake that which I can comfortably afford to loose and allow myself enjoy the game.

Meanwhile, what you gambled is not live. In local parlance it should be called side. Like two people are playing and you are supporting one side by gambling on it.

It is a right feeling and truly there are high moments of the game where Nigerian goal scored by Victor osimhen was cancelled and the decision of the referee to award penalty to South Africa. So it is understandable if two people who staked against each other feel such anxiety.
This is to an extend, there was no more funs about the game due to the point of personal interests to make sure our supported team wins the match.
But that is where the fun should be where two friends are disagreeing peacefully with the decisions of the referee. Those who say gambling is for fun should also see such moment as the fun aspect of the game and not to get agree because they are probably seeing the decision of the referee as for them to lose their money.

Things like this has happened in many gamblers in the gambling center but there is nothing you can do at the moment with the loss you experience from the bet than to learn a lesson from your mistakes which are part of some of the things we keep learning from gambling.
No matter what is happening in the game you bet, never allow emotions to bring you down because you know that there are two things we must experience from our gambling which are loss and gain and, anyone that achieve loss from among the two have to bear because, that is not the end of your gambling.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
I would prefer to have my bets placed in a casino than challenging my friend on a bet for which team to win. Challenging a friend on a bet has caused misunderstanding between friends which has taken their support for a team to win too seriously. Any wrong blown from the referrer might cause a disagreement between friends and it can lead to an exchange of words that can trigger anger.
In avoidance of this, bet ordinary on casinos not with friends because that could save the friendship and not cause anger and envy of who later wins the money of the bet.

This feeling is common in sports bets where both parties feel that the referee is favouring a team. But referee Amin Mohamed Omar was fair in the game. The only exception to some persons is the penalty he awarded to South Africa after cancelling the goal scored by Osimhen. A close look at the replay proves that he was right because there was actually an impact on Percy Tau by Alhassan Yusuf and they deserve the penalty.

That is why it is important to gamble with what you can afford to lose so that you will not be emotionally unstable. We shouldn't also know that in gambling you either lose or gain, so as you target the win and also expect loss. Since I don't have control over the outcome of the game, the best option is to keep your cool.

There is one thing I know about football fans, when your favourite club is losing that's when you will see some injustice happening, they will find some excuse, it will surely be more worse if the bet is between you and a friend, I have seen one that escalate into a fight between two friends.
Whatever happened in a football match is already in the past, either the ref is not doing is job well or not that's not the thing here, if you lose it's a lost and if you win is a win, once the final whistle is blown just accept whatever happens.
When arguments about football unfolds, it's always the losers that finds excuses just to make his favourite fan club look like they are been ripped off and cheated.

What you experienced is what anyone who bet with his friend will also experience, because there will be room for blams and excuses, since you guys are after winning the money and that is why you want your team to win, even when your team did something wrong, you wouldn't accept it.
I have gone on several bet with my friend and at most times, we want to be the person that will win the bet, so that we can see the other person who lost the bet as a weak person or to make him feel that we are right with our decisions. I was also watching the match with a friend yesterday that said whatever makes the match to get to penalty shootout, that South Africa will win the game, because Williams was able to catch the Cabo Verde players penalty in the quarter finals, that the same thing will happen to Nigeria, and we placed a bet, which I won the bet because I told him that I have the confidence in Nigeria's goalkeeper.
