Justin11 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 When it comes to sports gambling, it was something common for me. I don't normally engage too often in staking/betting on matches around favourite teams. I'm a football lover, and I got lots of teams from major leagues around Europe, I staked on them in the past to win matches for monetary rewards. But I do it out of love for my favourite teams due to their amazing performances not just because I want to earn money. Have you staked or placed a bet on behalf of your favourite team(s) in any sport game when the winning matters much, just to share the moment of magic with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I just enjoy soccer as a sport and I have never really considered betting on any team before. Though I have a lot of friends who do that and have tried several times to persuade me Into betting but I still haven't considered it and I enjoy things that way.

It is better off as you don't stake on football matches, it sucks. I lost more than I won, just that I was doing it mostly for fun just as I described in the thread. It's a way to enjoy the match with much seriousness 😂. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend would practically stand throughout the who match because of anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I relax my mind when ever I staked on matches, because I know it is made on luck, If I win I win, when I lose I take it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since it is all about luck, I don't know the reason why I'll be hanging my mind there. I got other stuffs to do with my life and not thinking about an outcome I can't control. I bet for fun, and not always, but crucial matches I want my beloved team to walk through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, this thing is almost everywhere mehn. It is like that here in my locality, you'll see people who clustered around just to moan over a loss betting ticket. That's inappropriate, you don't moan over something that isn't guaranteed before staking on it, betting comes with steady heartbreaks. That's why I wasn't moved to bet all the time, I don't even stake this time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen worse when it comes to the kind of reactions some make when they lose a bet. How would you use your rent to bet a game so you can double up the money, that's just bizzare.

It just comes down to a lack of logical thinking and letting their greed stop them from getting their priorities straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, greed is a factor that leads many into making such bizzare stakes. Sometimes it's favorable but most of the time it ends in tears as this people would have to borrow to major foot bills.

Justin11 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 News outlet shared a man who borrowed 200k Nigerian currency to bet on two odds just to earn double of his stake. Unfortunately for him, the bet didn't go as planned, and he fell down and died. People came rescuing him, I don't know if it's real death or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
