When I go with my friend to watch soccer games, and we place a bet on who will pay the drinks. We get so excited and cheer for our favorite teams. We might even shout things like, "Go Mbappé, go brother...hhh!"
Of course, I’m not saying you should bet on every game before watching it... I'm just saying that human psychology is difficult to understand. Sometimes a 1$ bet or a drink can change the whole atmosphere...(as long as it's for entertainment and done responsibly)
How about you? Which gets your heart racing more: watching a soccer match with a bet on it, or enjoying the game without any bets?
-
Yes, bet does make game exciting, I make bets on cricket matches, and difference in emotions I find myself in when having a bet on and when not, is obvious.
-
Yeah for sure a friendly bet adds another level to the fun of watching a match as long as the amount doesn't hurt someone's pocket. This is a common occurrence among peers with similar interest/s. The fun and excitement turns into something more serious if more money is involved ;D
-
Of course, it will make watching the game more exciting as you have a side bet, and you are going to cheer for your team, same as your friend. So there is this competitive fire between you two. But at the end of the day, it's just sports, and whoever losses the game will just treat it like that and nothing personal and you can go on and still be friends after it.
And I think this is a common occurrence when you go and watch with your friends in live games. Your bet, your drink and have some fun during that game. Of course, there will be some teasing on both parties, but you shouldn't look at it as personal attack.

All of the above, I find it pleasant watching match either i bet on it or watching with friends who is there to gist with me and maybe we might decides to bet on each of the clubs, like he bets on Chelsea while I bet on Man.U, with the intension that if many lose the game he would pay for the drink and if the opposite happened then I would have to pay for the drink as well without falling. Now this would now make me to get prepared maybe to have enough funds because we might consumed lots of things the would be even worth betting with just 1$.

This sounds good and might change the gaming atmosphere but I do not bet with a friend before a game. This is because I and my friends always place bets on bookies before any game, especially on weekends, and our concerns are always focused on the bet. However, during the course of watching a particular match, an argument may arise, and we will be asked to bet so that the winner of the argument receives the money.
This does not happen all the time, but arguments like this are always what prompt betting between myself and a friend, and sometimes it is not even a friend, but another person watching the same game as us. I recall that once, when I lost a bet against a friend, my friend returned my money out of sympathy. Since then, I can not remember the last time I bet against a friend over an argument.

We do that with my friends mostly in boxing matches sometimes we both bet on the same team but what i exciting is that we go for knock-out or a decision. That actually adds up the excitement and fun while watching so I think everyone should atleast try with just extra dollars so if we lose it won't hurt that much.

My heart will race for two things. First, if I bet an amount that is so big that I can't let go, any shoot out or short on target that is play either for or against will make my heart beat because what I will be expecting is for my team to win so I can win my bet and if they don't win before the time end, I will not even enjoy the game because I will be thinking about the money.
Another one is my team is playing, either I bet on them or I don't,I get furious about their game most especially if it's final game that I want them to win badly. Even if the amount is small, such games make my heart skip sometimes and feel too attentive to watching the game.

Enjoy watching soccer because it is fun, not because you bet on it. The fun is not in the bets but in the game itself. If you cannot enjoy a game without betting on it, that's a problem that you should already start considering solution for.

Without a doubt, the activities surrounding the game can sometimes be more enjoyable than the game itself. Personally, I enjoy going to a viewing center to watch games because you can hear other people's perspectives on the game. In fact, you will get to learn new things and be exposed to statistics you are unfamiliar with.
Also, the banter you receive in a viewing center, as well as the banter you give to others who support a rival team, are all part of the game's life. That is where the fun is, as long as everyone knows when to respect each other and does not say anything that tarnishes another person's reputation.

I choose watching sports with a bet, it adds up spice to the game and you get more excited to see the results unlike when you're not betting.
Sometimes its not even the games but the bets that matter, so for gamblers, betting even a small amount added an element of excitement, Some gamblers cannot go in a day challenging anyone even on simple task or even if the price is a bottle of beer.
A gambler will always be a gambler no matter what.

Yes watching sports you fond of is fun even if you don't bet on it but when you do, it adds extra involvement to the game, that's my experience.
Regarding betting being a problem, I don't think it's so, as long as you gamble responsibly, plus if you have good knowledge of sports you bet on, you'll likely be in profit.

Friendly bets can be very interesting to bet on as long as it is done moderately. Staking less than a dollar can make it fun to engage in but when it becomes out of control like staking a car or other valuable assets it's no longer considered to be fun anymore. Gambling is fun when you can bet with what you can afford to lose so even when you eventually lose it you won't have the feeling of regret. But I enjoy soccer games more without any bets on it, I'm able to focus on every aspect of the game instead of just been concerned about goals, it doesn't put you under duress
-
anyone with a brother can relate to watching together and betting. yes it makes the watching of sports together more fun.
if you have a brother that could reason out something that will deceive you at some point you will end up arguing the whole night and forget about the bets. i have mine who reasoned the center man(basket ball game) was injured and so its not a fair fight anymore which he said i can't just take my win. but in the next game he won, he teaches me to be sport and pay up. ;D

I completely agree with you; as long as it doesn't break the bank, it's still fun. Though it doesn't feel like a loss of money as lengthy as it's with a buddy, betting on who will win the match is thrilling and enjoyable. In addition, the enthusiasm feels unreal, the ties are growing stronger, and the motivation is unstoppable. We play shout a few times, but I always wager an amount that I can afford to lose.

i think watching sports and betting geos hand in hand even if there’s nothing really on the line
“I bet this team will win” or “I hope this team loses” those are almost betting statements and the only thing missing is the prize/consequence so if it’s official that there’s something on the line then it makes it more exciting i think humans are inherently competitive that’s why
-
Mine is watching basketball and a friendly bet with my friend is exciting because you get immersed in the game because you are rooting for a team to win. It keeps the game engaging from start to finish, as you both share the thrill of competition

I think most of the gambler have these kinds of experience in their life even if the face it only for one time. I have experience these kinds of fun while doing multiple times and also enjoying like this in some time. And want to also say that event then it is with the friend and as like a local physical gambling so that I want to say we should also responsible on this like when we have the fund for the gambling there is no worries but when we have not available fund in our hand for the gambling we shouldn't to even these kinds of betting.

There are various reasons why friendly matches are been played, some are for just casual pre season matches, for honuring health people like cancer, entertainment and many more. So, I thinks it's reasonable to watch thr friendly match for what it was organize rather than bet on them. If you so desire to bet on any game, but on other matches that are not friendly.
I don't like to bet on friendly match because of performance compression, players don't do much and don't like to stress their self because a friendly match is meant to be friendly, there is nothing to give but just complement of your efforts. It's not wise to bet here.

even tho most athletes are competitive in nature and doesn’t seem to be an ‘off’ button for their competitiveness since there’s not much really at stakes in terms of their career they seem to just have fun and not take it too seriously it is still fun because there might be some moments where as a fan you would enjoy but you shouldn’t expect a top level kind of performance in friendly games

I have some friends who often borrow money for gambling. I think it would be too risky to borrow money for gambling. We have to spend only as much money as we can afford even if we lose money. For those who gamble, I will tell them that these are not right. After gambling with loans, if we lose the gambling, there will be no way to pay back the loan money, so we should refrain from borrowing. I now understand that we cannot waste extra time on gambling. Waste of extra time will lead to addiction to gambling. So we should gamble in leisure time and never choose gambling as profession.

The friendly match was just to measure how far they could develop and moreover the coach often experimented in the strategies they applied, that means they were not in a state of fully targeting victory.
It was very risky to bet on this match, and for me personally it also did not make me more happy to watch the match, because from the beginning I knew they were not playing at their best but were experimenting that might be useful in the real competition.

Well yeah we are just there for entertainment purposes just like placing bets in video games whoever the loser is then he will be the one paying for the snacks or drinks that's fun most of the times not unless he is having a bad day that most losses wwas on his pick so yeah depends on what really is a friendly games.

If anyone ask me what is the foolishest think in this world in your personal opinion? I will answer them having borrowed and gambling.
I will suggest you to give good advice to your friends before going into a danger. Gambling fully depends on luck so here it is only for fun. I have seen lots of cases people are attempting sui*cide because he could not payout the loan fund which he wasted on the gambling. Making bet with the friends is a good way to have fun but here you should have the fund that you can afford to lose.

i heard of these people who killed themselves due to gambling debts. i saw a thread about the kid who used the money meant for school fees in a casino, he lost and was very afraid of his parents to know. he jump from the building. crazy stuff but it happened, i think that was from Nigeria.
this is what happens if kids take gambling seriously while they spend money they didn't earn. its best to just bet with friends at least friends will understand you were just kids.

I think betting on soccer would definitely make it more exciting. But honestly, it's not about soccer itself, it's about the fact that my financial situation would change. So I'd be willing to watch the ants race with interest if I put money on it.

As far as it's a soccer match, I don't think I have ever found my heart racing to it before because of bets I have with my friend over a match win. It's always that we bet with little money to know who analyzes a match better. Anyone who got the match-winning right goes home with the money, but before that, we would have to talk a whole lot and castigate the performance of the team we bet on to win. That's the fun of it.

Well, I truly enjoy a game when I bet on it because I don't really watch matches that much without betting and for me the only thing that matters is the bet not the match itself. Surely, I become happy when my bet becomes a winning bet, however if it doesn't I never get sad. Just enjoy the betting experience and forget about the game itself. ;)
-
Re: Does a friendly bet make watching soccer more exciting for you?
It's not on soccer for me though, but it's basketball.
I still remember the time where there's this NBA finals a few years ago between the Celtics and the Warriors back in 2022 where I put my bet on the Warriors since they're the teams that I support while my relative picked the Celtics. The bet wasn't that huge back then, but to cut the story short, I won obviously and that's the time where the Warriors won their 4th ring.
In every game, we're screaming until it came to a point where our neighbor is already angry at me because of how hyped we are at that time. Right now, I can't find any relative of mine that's into basketball hence, I'm not betting with them anymore, but I'm still watching. Overall, putting bets makes the experience more entertaining and exciting. :)

This is different for me. When I bet on a game, I do not feel comfortable watching it.This will elicit unnecessary emotions, especially if the outcome of the game is not in your favour. This will spoil the fun of the game, and when the bet is on a person's football club, the heart beats even faster.
The reasons for this are that watching your club lose is painful, especially for a diehard fan, and also losing money in the process will upset the gambler greatly. In some cases, such a gambler will end up abusing a specific player or the entire football club.
-
The feeling of enjoying a match with betting is unlikely to be the same without betting. When I used to bet and try to enjoy a match live I used to wait before the match started. Different excitement worked in me in any situation of my team. I enjoyed the match as long as it lasted. But when I don't bet I don't have any excitement to watch the match. I find no joy. I have no interest in watching any game without betting. There is no problem with the bet amount being small.
-
What definitely makes you excited is watching football with a bet, where we will be anxious if our team loses, it's not a matter of $1 or a drink, but the taunts from friends won't stop until the next match and we win the bet.

We have also kinda same experience when we played bet with friends specially when we loose in one match we tried and tried again because the bet amount wasn't too high some time the bet is only about to pay the foods bill and some times a few bucks. And yes what you mentioned that is true that the taunts from the friends won't stop until the next match and we win the bet.
-
Just as we have friendly bet, we also have in in the matches as well to see that some are actually friendly, when we are into doing something, then we finds it more fascinating for us to go after that same thing because of the prerogative idea have over it, so because of these kind of mentality, some will because of that make sure that they watch a match because they want to get many benefits from doing that.

You saw in a thread I saw in my neighborhood that a college boy made sui*cide attempt as you said the kid did.
I think for stopping these incidents we the parents and as well the gambling peoples should be aware that the peoples who don't know the money management I mean the underaged peoples and the people who can't afford the fund for gambling those shouldn't be in the gambling. And if we saw some person doing these things we should immediately warn him.

Watching soccer with friends brings a different exciting feeling. Now it is not just about what we stand to gain or lose from the bet placed with friends, the conversations during and after the match with friends creates that exciting feeling. There is nothing to lose here. Even if I lose the bet, friends are still there to lighten up the atmosphere with jokes, humour or sarcasm.
-
I personally don't do that, but I know somebody who regularly does this. I don't think they bet with something serious like their lifesaving though, so it's all for fun. I watched football matches for entertainment, and most of it came from tactical battles or memes. If the match is boring I don't think betting wouldn't make a huge difference for my enjoyment, even if I won my joy comes from winning a gamble instead of watching the match and analyzing it.
I followed a funny account like troll football for memes. Memes somehow give me excitement more than watching the match itself (especially if it's boring for me). Some people take things too seriously though.
-

What you think is not serious may be serious to someone else. The problem is not always the amount used for the betting, but rather the disappointment of not winning. Some people will turn the fun into a misunderstanding just because they lost. This is why it is critical to understand your friend in order to avoid situations that may lead to misunderstandings with them.
In my opinion, there is no reason why friends should bet against each other. There are many bookmakers, so betting on a betting platform is always preferable to betting against a friend. After all, someone can still enjoy a football match without betting against a friend.

It certainly gives a different feeling when watching a football game with friends. Where there are various discussions about the match and there are some who present various facts and figures to defeat a friend in various ways. But I think there is a difference between this excitement and particularly the excitement of watching the game by placing a bet. I feel more excited than any other bets when I watch a game with friends.
