Title: Watching the games you bet on is meant to be a part of the fun.
Post by: Rruchi man on September 21, 2024, 11:55:12 PM
This discussion is mostly about sporting events, for instance, football.

Do you consider gamblers who bet on fewer games that they can watch to be gambling more for fun than to make money?


My answer
It is a yes for me, because fun is not just in betting on these games, but following up with these games by watching them contributes to the fun you intend to have. If you bet on so many games across many leagues that have kick-off times clashing, then you are obviously betting with more intention to make money than have fun because there is no way you are going to watch all these games at the same time.

What do you think? Is it possible for a gambler with a long bet slip to be gambling for fun?

Most gamblers will take the match they might not watch. Some people may want to watch the match but business may not let them watch it. Example are the matches played on Friday. Some people may still be at work during that time. Know that most gamblers do not want to lose. They gamble to make money but some people are addicted by using small amount of money.

You have just answered the question already and it's obviously that such Gambler is gambling to make money or double their money but not fun. Although they might see if as fun because when they are watching few matches it also attributes to their fun level even though they don't watch all the matches picked on their slips.
I believe the fun comes more when you only stake on 1-4 matches and monitors them carefully how they plays, and their time to start must not be on same moment or period so to enable you watch them all for instance out of 1-4 Matches you pick each a day or two a day depending on time to start.

You are absolutely right, betting on many games wouldn't really give you the time to watch the games you bet on, as a gambler that intends to watch the games you put your money on you have to bet on fewer games that way it becomes easy. Everyone has their own preference, for me, I prefer to just stake on a lot of games without watching the games because I'm not really that interested in watching and I think it can put me Under a lot of duress especially when I staked a lot of money. Many gamblers enjoy to watch the games they bet on and derive a lot of entertainment from it but here is the thing if you don't stake responsibly then that's not fun anymore, staking more than what you can afford to lose on the games you are watching wouldn't even make you enjoy the game. It's very possible for a gambler with a long betslip to be gambling for fun especially if the stake is very low

Good point! The idea of us betting more games is that we are hoping that the best match for us will not disappoint us on our bet  and from that perspective we are more on making gains rather than having fun watching multiple games at the same time because that is quite strange. If it does differ in time interval then that might be acceptable but if all games are on the same exact time then that's totally different story.

It can indeed be fun to watch the game you bet on, and I agree that it’s part of the fun, although a lot of people might not share in this opinion as they may feel like it’ll create an unnecessary tension in the gambler. While this may be partially true, I strongly believe that it solely depends on the gambler in question and also the purpose for gambling. If a gambler is only or mainly gambling for fun, then rather than instilling tension in the gambler, it’ll be a rather fun experience as he’ll also be watching and testing his skills on prediction. But if the gambler is gambling for the financial benefit of the game, then if the game is going quite the opposite way, it’ll likely create an unnecessary tension in him.

Although many matches clash but we see that the odds are better so we will bet on it even though I know I want to make money in betting, but once it is still the favorite team that is predicted to win, it will be entered in the betting slip.

The most important thing is watching the match that is bet on is also part of the fun so that's why I prefer to bet more, even though I will still consider this part of the fun.

I think I answered this same question in Bitcointalk and from what I remembered I said it’s possible for them to go for a parlay and still enjoy the whole game (that’s if they don’t clash with each other) and they can still pick just on game and still decide not to see the match and just hope it comes out successful so that they can earn money.

It depends on who is playing, there are some gamblers that usually go for multiple games and out of them their only target is just the first four games and the rest doesn’t really concern them as soon as the game of their interest ends. So the first four could be taken as their fun moment while the last games are just there to earn the gambler money and nothing more. Both parlay and single can be used for fun and money depending on who’s involved.

some people gamble as a second thought like even if they did not bet they would still watch however having a bet would want him to watch even more basically betting is not his main purpose for watching the game which makes it more fun immediately already since you are watching just because you enjoy the game

There are gamblers who only bet on particular sports like soccer, boxing or UFC. Some of them can only be found in such threads. The ones who hops from one sports to another might be able to win but most probably they only follow what others are betting.

I consider myself one of those who hops from one sport to another as I'm looking every opportunity. Sad it don't work all the time.

Some people may still be at work during that time. Know that most gamblers do not want to lose. They gamble to make money but some people are addicted by using small amount of money.

Exactly the point, personally if I bet on a match I won't like to watch it because of the emotions attached, it doesn't matter how many matches I bet across the league what matter is keeping myself stable so that I wont be tensed, I see watching football as fun but once I bet a particular match I don't see watching it as fun again, it is now business for me, when you say that most gambler  may not want to lose, to me is an understatement, state it categorically, no gambler wants to lose money depite knowimg the fact that in gambling involve two things that are inevitable which is losing and winning but gamblers wont still like to see losing as an option and to me this is normal because no one wants to lose money no matter the risk involved, i agree with you that every gambler gambles to make money nothing less nothing more.

it applies to bettors who are not really a fan of the sport. are you just betting base on the odds?

not that the outcome will change but its about enjoying the match. a fan of a sport will likely watch the game and even if  the fan don't bet on a particular match.  i am  fan of a sport that i am also a member off a particular sport forum where i will eventually see the match because of the users just discussing about the games.

but maybe you are just  interested to the highlights of the match which is usually shown in  youtube channel you subscribed.

I don't like betting parlay but on few matches maybe one or two so that I can have a proper research and analysis on the match. I love watching the games that I bet on in order to enjoy the fun and thrill of the game. It will also give me a good understanding of the players and their weaknesses in order for me to use in my next bet when the same club is playing with a different club entirely.

Even if you only bet on games you can watch, this does not justify the fact that you are betting for fun. Some people are football fans, so whether they bet or not, they must watch the games because they support the teams, whereas others who gamble for money can bet on games and still watch them because the games appear to be sure. 

A gambler feels pressured when he bets on games he is watching and the outcome differs from his prediction. This pressure usually occurs when the stake is high or the ticket has progressed far, and the gambler finds it difficult to accept such a loss. The majority of the time you see fans in a viewing center abusing players, it is because their ticket is at stake.

It's more fun to watch the games you have bet on. I feel like I'm enjoying it and getting more thrills while watching. It's definitely stressful if you lose, but that's part of it. If you don't bet such a vast amount, ensure you manage it, and you will be okay.

It could be for fun, but that is dependent on the person.

Watching the game you bet on may have different reaction on the gambler, depending on the motive of gambling and how much risk you took while gambling. Fr example, for those who risk more than they can afford to lose, it might cause you lots of tension, especially when the bet isn’t going as predicted, but it’s different for someone who’s just gambling for fun, and has a good risk management skill, since it wouldn’t matter much whether the game goes in favor or against you. For those who risk way too much, it’s important to avoid watching the game, because if the tension becomes much, it could have health consequences.

There have been videos of Joo Rogan and other MMA fighter's reaction in every KOs which people are interested to watch. Maybe they wanna check whether they have same reaction when a fighter win a fight.

Combat sports sometimes end in a shocking KO they have never seen in their entire life. And they just wanna check th bloody faces. Sports are more enjoyable when you watch it yourself that's why people travel to Vegas to watch personally.

Gambling is exclusively for entertainment and stress relief. People who use gambling as a means of making money may bet and watch sports less because they are not comfortable watching the matches. And those who participate in gambling for entertainment will enjoy every match because they love the sport and enjoy every match. People who take up gambling for entertainment can gamble with small stakes.

I don’t like watching match I bet on only fews cause I think watching it will get my mood down and I will feel so uncomfortable especially if am losing the game. Those who really watch the match they bet on really tried I can’t do that .
But I guess watching match you bet on feels more comfortable to some people seeing your game and where your bet is heading to and to know whether you are losing or winning.

Gamblers with such health issues should avoid gambling because their health will be jeopardized at every turn. If possible, gamblers' health should be assessed before allowing them to gamble. Gambling causes a gambler to lose money and other valuables, so they are constantly worried. And this is felt differently when such a gambler is seated and watching a game in which he has invested heavily. Most of the time, they walk out because they can not handle the stress of watching the game. I do not think it is fun to watch a game that you have bet on.

Gambling is always tense and stressful for those who gamble beyond their means to lose, and whether that crap is good or not, because gambling is a game where even at the last moment the whole game can be turned upside down, it has happened to me many times, where I After betting correctly, I thought all time match that i would win this game, but at the last moment I lost. So in gambling, the final result is always unpredictable, so we have to play it within our losing ability, because You can never say for sure that you will win this game, so always be within your means, never gamble beyond your means, gambling beyond your means will always give you negative results.
