The Best Betting Playlist: Songs to Get You in the Betting Mood

Betting on sports is something that has started to grow in popularity in South Africa during the last years. Today, people from all over the country use it as a way to add some extra excitement and drama to big games. However, finding the correct odds and looking through stats can be a process that takes quite some time. In doing so, music can be a great way to keep yourself both entertained and focused. 

Even if it might be difficult to find songs that get you in the betting mood per se, there are plenty of alternatives to listen to when you’re backtesting your betting strategy or going through footage of old games to be able to make more informed decisions about how you’re going to place your bets. In this article we will share some of our best tips on what criteria to think about when picking up songs suitable for any activity connected with betting. 

We will also offer you a couple of artists’ names that might be worth checking out in the meanwhile. You may already have a couple of alternatives in mind. But it definitely can’t hurt to get a broader overview of some of the more pressing things to keep in mind as you jot down notes and do your calculations analysing info on platforms like the ones listed here.

However, it’s still important to remember that betting is a form of entertainment and not a way to make money. There’s nothing wrong with having a hobby that you enjoy and that you spend money on. But it’s incredibly important to do so in a manner that is responsible and that you can afford. 

Pick Up Music That Helps You Focus 

Even if betting is an entertainment first and foremost, if you’re someone who enjoys crunching numbers and statistics related to everything that deals with betting it’s a good idea to pick up music that helps you focus.

Instrumental music without complex lyrics can be a great way of ensuring that you’re able to focus completely on the task at hand. Regardless of whether that is looking through the number of tries that a rugby team completes during the course of an average game or whether you’re trying to calculate the value of a bet, the choice of instrumental music is going to be a fine background that will help your thinking without disturbing you.

But, everyone is different, we should admit it. For some people, there is no better method of concentrating than listening to complex rap lyrics, while others find this incredibly distracting. There is no definitive answer that applies to everyone.

Soundtracks to Movies Can Be a Great Alternative 

One fantastic alternative is to look towards the world of movies and soundtracks to them. All tracks are more than likely going to be without lyrics and simply act as a way of adding some atmosphere. All works by Hans Zimmer are a fantastic option. Another good choice to look at is soundtracks to  different video games. The soundtracks to Minecraft and World of Warcraft are an excellent point to start with. 

With some of these general tips out of the way, we’re now going to offer several songs for your considerations that fit into the criteria we have talked about earlier. Regardless of whether you’re going to be applying these when you’re crunching numbers or considering what bets to place, it’s the opinion of the writers of this article that all of the below songs are well worth listening to.
