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.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
I have not been in such a situation before; I find it discomforting to get involved in physical live betting. I'm not emotionally strong for such a kind of betting.On betting once's the game enter's penalties shot out, it's already a draw game, which means none of you were able to win the bet, so there should be a refund of cash to both parties as it could be considered a void game.
On the other hand, the game ended against almost everyone's prediction. No one was expecting the last goal of the Nigerian team to be cancelled and a penalty awarded to the South African team.
Immediately that happened, and that was the moment we all started seeing the game end in a draw. But I can't say the referee was biassed; he wasn't, but Nigerians were just unlucky for a fair ruling.

I have a group of friends where we communicate through a facebook group. We do betting on a regular basis, daily actually but I'm not betting on a daily basis but the channel is very active. We have like 15 members, we all know each other and we are betting, of course we can't avoid getting emotional, but since we are doing this regularly, we get used to it and still enjoying until now.
The best advantage when doing like this is we get a good odds since you don't have to pay the bookie for the comission. Say the spread is -5 for a certain team, you'll get x2 if you win but on bookie, you'll get like x1.90 or even lower.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
If you bet while watching the match, of course you will feel something like that because I feel it too and sometimes it's quite annoying, when the referee does something that we think is detrimental to the team we have chosen or even when a player fails to score even though that is what we really hope will happen, and I am sure all gamblers experience this, disappointed and all thing that comes to mind, if it's too disturbing it's better not to watch it or it could be that you are too hopeful of winning either because you bet a large amount or because you bet an amount you can't really afford to lose, so it's very important to only use money you can afford to lose so You can still enjoy the match and when you win you will be happy and if you fail you won't get too emotional or get angry.

When I saw the topic I was thinking otherwise but opening the thread was just another thing. Although I have played several games and which the amount was higher than $10 and I didn't feel somehow or being emotional about how the game would play. So talking about being in the same shoes, I have been in such situation before, but not like these type of yours.
But I believe the real cause of the panic was the way the match was played yesterday. Emagine when you played a game, and it came to penalty, you would definately be afraid or frightened because you never see that coming. but funny enough you where lucky yesterday to have won $10 from him.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
I often make bets like that, betting with close friends and watching the match together, but I'm not sure if it's a live bet because I do it just to have fun with my close friends.Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
every weekend I often bet on soccer bets with my friends but I never feel emotions, I just always joke around making fun of each other supporting teams and usually when I win or my friend wins we never use the money personally but we use it to buy food or buy drinks and continue betting on the next match.
for me, this is a normal betting scenario to have fun with our friends and there should be no need to feel disappointed or emotional if the team we support loses because it's only $10 and after all our goal of betting is for fun, not to make money, so get rid of your emotions and your feelings of disappointment and just think you're unlucky.
I usually find it more entertaining since imagine you have your friends beside you watching those live games and there's a bet at stake for sure the whole betting experience is really different comparing betting alone since there's a lot of things to discuss and also we can really joke around if something exciting happen on that games.
This is really a normal betting scenario since there's a lot of people been hook up with sports and for sure your friends have same interest of you when it comes on that category that's why we can't avoid to have this moments and we could really enjoy this time especially if there's a beer in the table and for sure we will forget about if we are not lucky or what actually happen on the games we are betting.

Most of the time we watched with my friends with the sports betting because of course we want to compete with each other and at the same time enjoy the game, getting excited and disappointed to the game its part of it at the end both of you, you know that this gets entertained you both but of course make sure you are still in a good shape if someone losses the game or bet because you play gambling there's no game that's no winner.

Several years ago, I was in that scenario when I often hung out with my old friends. It was the World Cup and my friend and I competed against each other by holding the country of our choice. Victories and defeats came and went between us so that we could say that we could break even.
But the emotions we experience are only during the match and will not continue after the match is over because we know it is pointless. Yes, we enjoyed the betting moment because we watched the match together so we knew what score each country got. And it was truly a moment I will never forget.

The name of such gambling is not live betting, but it could fall under or be called social gambling because you need no casino to serve as a third party or any bookmaker in order for the betting to take place.
Please I do not know about you guys but for me this is simply live betting in his own terms. Who defines what live betting is and what it is not. This may be the OP's operational definition of live betting and that is okay with me. The bet were place after the match had begun which is also one of the features of a standard definition of live betting. They bet on the out come of the match - another very solid characteristics of live betting. Despite not having a platform, it was a simple arrangement with themselves where they had a third party hold the stake. If this is not live betting in their own definition and even similar to what the bookies give us, I wonder what then it is.

I'm sure everyone who likes football must have done this betting between teams between countries or clubs, but I don't have any friends out there, but betting with friends around my house since I was young used to bet on my favorite club and so did my friends, but Even then, it seemed like it was just an ordinary bet, it didn't require money and was just a treat to eat at school for one week, so coincidentally at that time I won, so I was treated to a meal at school for a week by the friend who bet with me.
Never experienced full emotions. Sometimes the team that we were leading in the past couldn't be forced to win against the team chosen by my friend because basically the gambling we did at that time wasn't too excessive, maybe because we were still immature so we weren't full of emotions, even though that was true. It's not a direct bet as friends say here because you don't use a third party platform site, but whatever it is, this bet is definitely often played by those who are still gamblers and often bet on football sports, whether league championships or between countries.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
I haven't been in the exact scenario, but I've had similar experiences with friends while watching games, and I've witnessed similar situations unfold. It's completely normal for emotions to run high, especially when money is involved. Sometimes, things just don't go the way we hope. If I were in that situation, I would remember that it's just a friendly bet, and whoever wins, sportsmanship should be present. Our main goal is to enjoy the game and each other’s company, not just to see who wins the bet. After all, it's just a game, and I won't let the outcome define our friendship.

I believe something like this only happened to me once when I was matching the semi final match of the Football World Cup of 2014. It was during the infamous matches between Brazil and Germany, which out in complete humiliation the host team. I was in favor from the beginning of a German Victory and a female friend of mine was rather fond of the Brazilian football selection, we made a little symbolic bet on our preferred teams snd decided to watch the match Live on TV.
Needless to say that because of the insane amounts of goals and the historical moment we were witnessing, she did not take any joy at all on seeing her favorite team of the World Cup being completely crushed.
Fortunately, it was not a big bet or something, because it could have negatively affected our friendship back then. In the end, that match and the day we met in my family home to watch it live will remain as a good memory.
Keeping my story aside, I indeed believe a bet which hss enough money staked on it could easily erode a friend and make almost imposible to enjoy a match, because of the bad feelings one could have when seeing ones preferred team being put in disadvantage by the referee.

I’d simply say it that if you can’t manage your emotions, you should be gambling. I don’t see why you’d be pissed or upset if you lost the prediction when you knew very well that it is a 50/50 probability. When you gamble, assume you’ve lost the money so when you actually lose it, it doesn’t surprise or hurt you. I’ve been in a similar case before and I didn’t care what behavior the other person had. I took my winnings as per the agreement and off I went.

Well, I have not gambled like that before because I don't see it being necessary after staking on same game on the casino. Form your explanation, you place a bet of $10 on your country while your friend also placed a bet of $10 on his country, which at the end, if you friend lost the bet you only would have earned the $10 which he staked. Just imagine if you have stake that $10 in a casino, do you think it's only $10 you would have won? If I stake on a game in a gambling site, even if the match is on and am watching it live at a viewing center, I don't bet with any body in that place.

I think I've done this a couple of times before, not in person but over in discord. We were watching it via Discords YouTube activity back then so we both got to watch the match at the same speed and time (YT sometimes has that weird delay that differs from pc to pc), and it was a wild ride. We were both screaming at every intense moment of the match and since it was a BO5, we had to be like that for a couple of hours lmao. Let's not even mention the bloody anger in our voices whenever YT ads started playing in the middle lol. To answer, I didn't. It was with friends and even if it had a bet involved, we bet on our respective teams anyway, something we probably would've done regardless if we talked about it or not. Rather I just enjoyed the experience of watching the game together and the experience of frustration and talking about what could be, the best moments of the game and stuff like that after the game itself.

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.
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.
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.

The live sportsbet was not the recommended one,because the feedback from your friends will make you confused on the game.So the gamblers will make the stake of funds on the different betting site.The betting of you and your friends on the different team,So any of you had make the money for sure.But the drawback is the person who loss the money.In deep the winner who get the money of the loser in that game.If you know who is the best team,then both bet on the same team is better option.Because either both or both loss,but this also the risky option of both on the same side.

Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
I don't know what the correct term is to describe betting with our own friends, not in a casino because both can be called live sports betting.
Of course I have experienced it, usually I bet with my close friends when our favorite team is playing and we do it just for fun, even though there are often arguments about referees, fouls, injury time, and so on, but I never get carried away by emotions, because we bet just for fun. And for various reasons I enjoy and have more fun betting with my own friends than betting in a casino
Why? What happened to the game? Was it a draw?
Well, I've never been in that situation before because I mostly bet against a friend in sports either basketball, boxing, or MMA which draw games are very rare to happen.
Regarding the officials, referees are always biased and that cannot be controlled, there's always a preferred team for them, and then if there are two referees, the other one balances it. It cannot be stopped because they are also humans who may be fans of one team. But they still must act like professionals when they are on the field so if ever they make an obvious call, I bet they will be fined or disciplined for doing that considering this is a professional league.
February 07, 2024, 07:09:28 PM
Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?
Simply, just accept the result. If by any means you think some cheating happened, then stay away from betting on that league anymore.
Just move forward and later on, you will know how to deal with such kind of game and will have a better decision on what bet type should be picked.
More importantly, try to also consider using your own money without sharing stakes to your friends to avoid unnecessary arguments.
February 07, 2024, 07:03:39 PM
I have exclusively only had the exact opposite of this happen to me. When a match with teams I like happens and I have a stake, o feel more satisfaction watching the match if I have placed a small stakes... But there's an important catch, I only place small stakes..especially when gambling with friends, you can't expect them to have the same money as you.
On that note, I don't know what 10$ is for Nigeria but it probably is a lot of Naira. So if losing that amount makes you feel sad, always best to not place bets at all and just watch the match for fun.
