this leads me to thinking whether do people bet on sports they do not enjoy or are not a fan of? maybe there are people out there who are just really in for the money and they would bet on sports that are popular and they have a bigger chance on winning at even if they do not particularly enjoy them

personally i can't imagine having to sit and watch and analyze countless of matches of a sport i do not enjoy watching just to bet on them

People actually bet in sports they do not watch or enjoy and I think it's basically for the fun nothing else and in the other hand some tend to do so more especially for the money. I was actually with a friend and we talked about betting in sports and he was like he don't really like sports betting but he do so because he had to make lots of money from it, and just like you said he went on higher chances of winning and sure it thus work well for him but for me I enjoy watching and analysing the game inorder to place my bets.

It is also educational to learn some details or some information about how the game will be played. For example, it is interesting to guess what the team coach has in mind. What combinations your favorite team performs better than its rivals, how the top players are feeling, and so on. And all this, of course, helps in a more accurate forecast regarding bets so that the probability of winning increases a little.

That is true but most times those things doesn't work, I said most times because it doesn't happen steady it is always rare. How top players are feeling and what coach is thinking doesn't guarantee winning a particular match or making a good forecast. How do you intend to know what a coach is even thinking and how top players are feeling too when you are not In there mind, sometimes it can be that they just want to make there fans and everyone feel happy and believe in them.

Yeah. Of course, that's true.
But even taking into account that you don't have reliable information about what the coach has planned, and there's no information at all that the match can be fixed or, on the contrary, fair, but still, thinking about all sorts of facts known to you, in my opinion, still brings pleasure. And then your analysis is decisive for your bet. Well, of course, it can be a losing one. Nevertheless, the mental work of your analysis of the situation before the game still brings entertainment and pleasure. For example, I myself am interested in discussing how the factors that have become known to me will affect the game.
But, to be honest, of course, I am often wrong, but still, sometimes I find it interesting to do this.
