The Will to Win
According to the latest research, children begin to develop a competitive streak from around the age of four. During earlier years they in fact help each other out, but once they pass this competitive threshold anything goes, and winning starts to get the better of the ‘it’s the taking part that counts’ mentality. And so it goes until some of these small people with a stronger than average will to win become grown-up people with an even greater desire to be the best or, mostly, be better than whoever they’re competing against.
Fortunately there’s no shortage of natural born would-be winners who make up a global sporting population that affords us endless mobile sports betting opportunities.
While some sports and games tend to lend themselves to the traditionally ruthless win win win approach more than others, it is those that generate a tense, exciting atmosphere, with clearly defined battle lines and ambitions, that become the most popular. One such is the holy grail of betting (for both online betting operators and punters alike)... football. It also has additional spectator-friendly aspects in the form of the tribalism that can be seen on and off the pitch, and the interesting mix of individual skill and teamwork, strategy and tactics.
We can use our own understanding of the game’s subtleties to better back up our opinions with a wager, whether it’s a season-long market or edge-of-the-seat in-running betting during the match. Note that this evolutionary competitiveness works both ways because we, too, have effectively changed little since our natural development kicked in - we want to be right about this or that outcome, and we’re willing to risk something we find very useful (money) to support our argument. Betting is quite natural, and mobile online betting has served to afford us the facility to put our will to win into practice wherever we happen to be.
The opening (three-day) weekend of the English Premier League provided a tantalising mix of football’s most intriguing ingredients, and already there are hints of how the bigger picture might develop over the course of the season. Among the most talked about things to look out for were the respective approaches of Manchester’s new managers - who was most willing to stamp their own personality on to their tenancy in the opening match? David Moyes certainly has big shoes to fill in following Sir Alex Ferguson, so perhaps needs to be a little circumspect. Manchester City’s Manuel Pellegrini, on the other hand, has come out all guns blazing after spending £90 million since his arrival, and if City’s 4-0 demolition of Newcastle is anything to go by, the man from Chile must have been satisfied only in beating everyone back when he was four years old.
