acceptable behavior or not?

[joniboini]

I think you'll cause some controversies if you put a rule that bans people from "trash talking" unless you can define the scope very clearly and make everyone agree with your definition. It would be difficult to do that when the environment or majority of people involved in the business like the status quo. I think a better way to stop the culture is to encourage people to improve their mental strength so trash talking will be useless, but there's no guarantee everyone can do that either. Fortunately, I've learned to detach myself from what people think of me so I won't be affected if people start spouting bullshit every now and then.

I’ve not actually seen this trash talk amongst gamblers or bettors but I see it all the time amongst football fans where fans of a particular club trash talk the other club, especially in a viewing centre when there’s an ongoing football game. Honestly I think this actually makes watching the games more interesting and fun, and this is actually the main reason why people despite having a television and a cable in their house would rather prefer to go to a viewing centre to watch the game because of these harmless trash talks.
Yes some people do take these talks personal and it could result to violence, but this rarely happens and it is only those who do not really understand fun that’ll take things to that extreme.

are you aware of what we call "trash talk"?

this often is done when playing games in a way to aggravate the opponent and at times express excitement as well in gambling games i think it can also be applied especially with sports events where you bet some bettors would do trash talk in an attempt to make fun of the other bettors

do you think this is acceptable behavior or should we stop doing this? often times trash talking has led to violence and disagreements due to people taking it personal but does this not make the matches more exciting? what do you think?

Trash talk in a way can be seen as banter. It is the beauty of the game. Those who get offended by banter are amature and still behave like kids. I advise people to only trash talk with their friends to avoid issues

It is a part of the sport and something that you must be mature to deal with when you start watching and following a sport that has many supporters because if you cannot deal with it, you will be angry most of the time from banter from other club supporters. Some of the people who have not been able to deal with it are usually the ones who are involved in violence.

I think that when you play you should be aware that you are risking money, talks can be done in many ways, but you should not pay it with someone who can Mess with us, sometimes there are people who only seek to make you lose patience, and this is fed only when you give them importance, it should not be given importance as a challenge, sometimes you Talk just to pass the time , but no more , but if you realize that it is for something that is not Going to be Beneficial then it Should stop being done.

We are free to and allowed to engaged on anything that can bring joy and lots of excitement to us when we are gambling, this is mostly applicable to those engaged in physical casino gambling, but if we are the type that may not like to be where there is distraction to gambling such as noises, we may try to embrace the use of online gambling platforms more often just for our own good.

This will come back to the things we like more, when we prefer to be in the middle of a crowd when gambling for example, then we can choose a physical casino to gamble. But if we prefer gambling that is not disturbed by anything, then online casinos will be our choice, because we can play alone without anyone bothering us. Well what we like more then do that.

Ah, trash talk I love it. I used to play lot of video games and the games that I had most fun was where trash talk was involved. Should be bringing similar excitement in the sports betting as well.

Though, it should never reach the level of irl violence.

Trash talk is part of what makes the game intresting, infact it's the rationale behind the reason why people will likely leave there fully subscribed DStv and we'll furnished house to go an see the match in a viewing centre with less comfort

IMO, it doesn't matter if trash talk is acceptable on a personal level since it varies across individuals and is subjective. What's important is the rules of the game. As long as it's still allowed by the rules, everyone must comply.

Anyway, if you ask my personal belief then it's okay to do trash talk on anything. What's not okay for me is actual threat, violence, and doxxing.

Not sure if I agree, I am able to catch action on TV better than stadiums tbh, unlike watching on stadium where everything feels raw, on TV — the commentaries and replays makes it much better to absorb what's going on.

The trash talk is what makes sports so beautiful. Without trash talk, just think of how dull a gaming environment would be. Fans would start to lose interest in gaming because of the ominous atmosphere. The trash talk should not be so severe, though, as to incite the rival fan's ire.

Losing a game or wager can be emotionally taxing, and a gambler who is already losing—especially when a significant sum is at stake—is hurt. For this reason, trash talk should be controlled and should be motivated by a love of sports rather than hatred or oppression. While trash talking is acceptable among fans, it should be done in a sportsmanlike manner.

Trash talk can be fun, but only if it's friendly. If people take it too seriously, it can cause fights. I remember playing poker with friends, and one guy kept saying, "You always lose!" At first, it was funny, but later, someone got upset. So instead of having fun, we where trying to keep the guy cool...
