This is something I've always been wondering about. Gamblers tend to have a league, be it basketball football or any famed sport, that they tend to love most. For instance in the USA American football and NBA betting tend to be very popular, while in south and south east Asia countries cricket is also very popular among other sports. So people tend to have a league in a certain sport that they know the most about, have a favorite team in, know the players etc.
So what's your experience with this. When your league is in break, do you tend to try to follow other leagues that you're familiar with, or will you gamble on anything really? I'm interested to hear what other people have to say in this matter.
For me personally, I try to limit my gambling to teams where I know at least some players, because otherwise it's easy to get carried away. Really in my opinion, gambling on leagues and sports that you know little to nothing about, only increases the edge against you.
I love to gamble on football because it's a sport about which I know a lot, having taken the time to study up on different leagues. It's important to remember that football leagues don't finish at the same time, thus games continue all year long. I have personal preferences for some leagues over others; my favorites are La Liga Premier League, Bundesliga, Italian league and French league. I regularly follow the matches in these well-known leagues and keep up with the most recent information because I have a strong liking for them.
My interest in gambling wanes throughout the off-season for these chosen leagues. This is due to my difficulty in making precise forecasts for leagues that I may not be as familiar with. My ability to make wise betting judgments is greatly enhanced by the knowledge and insights I obtain about the Premier League and La Liga. Since I usually base my wagers on my knowledge of the teams and players in these particular contests, the absence of games in these leagues during breaks has an impact on my gambling activities.
