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.
