Question:who has been in this scenario before? And how did you managed with your emotions then?

I do not think that the scenario you stated is a live bet but rather just plain betting since a live bet is like putting a bet while the game is happening not before the game is played just like what Oshondy stated.

Honestly being a fan of a playing team, it is hard to contain one's emotions especially if we have a bet that our favorite team will win. I know it is really disappointing if the calls of the ref and the game performance of the team don't go what we expected. It is normal to be emotional during the heights of the game and it even lingers even after. I managed my emotion by simply making sure that whatever the result of the game was, I did not let it affect my next activities.

Sports live bets are full of sentiments, grudges and unnecessary arguements because there are always persons you could Chanel your grievances towards.

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.

All you did was challenge each other with which team you thought was going to win, and there was a price for whoever's prediction was correct, which is the same thing as social gambling.

It's important to note that social gambling is one of the forms of gambling that promotes violence a lot. If you get involved with someone who is not good at anger control, the argument can escalate to a point where he can no longer hold it, which could result in a physical fight, so I will advise you to avoid such gambling either in a public place or in private for your own safety.

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

From your explanation, it was not a live bet you had with your friend, it was just a bet. Live bet should mean live matches or in-play. I will call it that because you can not bet on a match that are no more live because it has been played and the outcomes has been known.

People that took draw won. It match was drawn and Nigeria won during penalty shootout. It would be a disappointment for those that either chose Nigeria or South Africa to win. But if you use little amount of money to bet it, it was still fun.

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.
