Sports Betting Enhances Fan Experience to Greater Levels

Postby Freddy Wills » Mon Oct 08, 2012 7:35 pm

Some people out there are hesitant when it comes to and . People will say that the old art of watching sports as dedicated and loyal fan is lost once monetary interest comes into play. For decades, centuries even, sporting events have been occasions that bring people together. Families and friends, once divided, can band together under a common love for a local team; Men and women with no other mutual interest can be sewn into a deep relational cloth of passion and excitement cheering for their nation in international competition. It’s been said that, because money can be won and lost, ruins the beauty of things like fan spirit, team dedication and the greatness of family generations cheering as one. Now don’t go and denounce every you know- I think the critics are wrong.

Sports betting is great for sports fandom. One way is knowledge. We all know those sports fans who we think must spend obscene amounts of time just memorizing statistics in some sort of Sports Stats 101 course. When asked about a player, they can rifle off reams of knowledge and they seem to know everything that has ever happened in sports. If you are like me, I was always a little jealous of people that like. We need more of these people; these are real fans; sports betting creates them. Once money is involved, people start paying a little more attention. If I were just going to watch a baseball game, I would just go to the TV and watch it. However, if I had money on the game, I would read up on stats, analysis and speculation. I would know the ins and outs of both teams- their histories and tendencies. Now, very few people who bet on sports bet on every game. Most bet on only a few game. So, this research and their knowledge seeking inclinations will flow into their non-betting sports times too. They will become better overall sports fans because of their betting.

It can also increase true loyalty to a team. If a man has grown up as a Bengals fan for his entire life, he will likely continue to be one. However, over the years, his dedication may wain. If this man started to bet on the Bengals, he would certainly care more about the outcome of each game. A truly loyal fan would even entrust some financial responsibility to his team. Again, his research and knowledge seeking would make him a better, more well-rounded fan.

Not to mention the possibility of financial gain. Sometimes it is simple; if you watch and enjoy a hockey game, that is fun, it is nice. But if you also win money at the end, the experience, of course, becomes superior.

Seriously, some of these circumstances are a bit extreme and theoretical, but if sports betting creates fan with more knowledge and generates viewers with more passion, it can certainly enhance the overall experience.
