Online betting is a form of entertainment that has developed side by side with the internet, and with gaming. All kinds of people engage in it and whilst for some it’s just seasonal, for others it might be more of a regular occurrence.
When we write articles like this, we take into consideration each and every kind of player which is why at Kentuckybettinghub.com you can find all kinds of betting information to suit your needs.
When doing an activity that you enjoy and that requires some thinking and planning, the space in which you do this activity plays a major role in the mood of how things play out. Gamers and bettors alike also have their own preferred interior additions and styles to the rooms from which they play and bet—something which has become more common to see in pop culture as well.
With the rapid growth of popularity in betting, we thought we’d write an article and explore some interior design ideas that could enhance the surroundings of the betting experience whilst also adding a certain energy to your room.
Strategy and Essentials: How to Go About It.
When it comes to interior design it would be wise to plan your surroundings and arrange them in a way that everything has its own place, is convenient, and ideally, is also great to look at. As vain as the aesthetics might be, you must remember that if you hang out in this room for long periods of time, then you will be looking at your surroundings all the time.
One way to approach your interior design is to follow the senses and see how to make sure that your experience is heightened in every possible way. Let’s have a look at some essentials of both physical interior and sensory interior design in this context of betting:
- Touch - Your seating or viewing area
- Vision - The screens on which you’re betting or streaming and the general surrounding
- Sound - The sound system in the room
Although when it comes to taste it is a different matter which is quite unrelated to us here, when it comes to smell, you could curate certain objects like scented candles or diffusers with scents of your choice. Some people even go for certain aromas which keep their energies up and going, such as fresh coffee aroma for late-night betting experiences.
Seating Space
As I mentioned before, the ‘gaming room’ bedroom type of space has been popularized on tv and in movies and has become something most people can visualize and imagine without trying. One of the key elements that finds its way into this visualization is the centerpiece of the room: the gamer chair.
Comfort is key. If you are about to spend hours sitting down, you’d better make sure you get a good chair. Whether it’s an armchair like the 90’s’ lazy-boy classic or if you want to sit more upright and watch your posture, you can also get an ergonomic chair.
Some of these chairs come with built-in usb ports or cup or phone holders so make sure you do your research well and find what best suits your needs.
The Screen(s)
This is a complex one because it is the most essential one. Screens and entertainment have become one thing in our age and so this one decision must be done with the utmost consideration for your space and yourself. What to consider:
- 1 screen or more?
- Screen size and placement
- Screen perks to lessen eye damage
If you have the desktop interface and some other channels on at the same time with some live action streaming on another tab, you wouldn’t want to lose a second of the game, which is why many bettors and gamers opt for a multiple screen setup.
In relation to this you must choose whether you get a standing screen on a desk, or whether you’d like to place it on a wall, potentially with 2 others on the side.
One last and very important factor to consider when you think about getting a new screen is the fact that you might be spending a lot of time in front of this screen and this doesn’t come without consequences to your eyesight.
It’s a fact that screens are damaging to our eyes, which is why we would encourage any bettor to look for monitors with low blue light filters or alternatively a screen equipped with flicker-free tech (which lowers eye strain during long sessions).
The Sound Around: Surround
Moving on from the visuals, sound is what comes next due to the role it plays in enhancement and immersiveness of the experience.
If we start with the basics, after you consider the type of betting environment you have, whether it is a shared room, whether it is a big room solely dedicated to gaming, or whether it is more of a portable setup, you can then decide what kind of speakers you’re going to be using.
For smaller spaces you can find some good sound bars which deliver a decently balanced sound, whereas if you’re looking for something portable you can find a myriad of choices of speakers which you can move wherever, whenever, with ease.
For a premium experience, today you can find some economic deals which strive to recreate or at least simulate the atmosphere and energy of a stadium—with the right setup. Surround Sound systems are perfect for bettors who want to feel in the middle of the heat of some grand final tournament.
Light and Atmosphere
A key part of the typical gamer environment we see in pop culture always involves some uniquely idiosyncratic lighting system that suits the gamer’s vibes. There’s a clear reason for this: having a good lighting system that’s adjustable enables you to not only enhance the mood of the experience but also change it according to each experience you might be having.
In line with the screen section, when you invest in good lighting you can also make sure to get a smart setup that reduces eye strain during some long night watching the NBA or NFL.
Although not an essential aspect of the setup, lighting in a room affects the whole dynamic of the room; just think of how sunlight changes the way a room feels throughout the day.
A Betting Station
To conclude, once you have all the bulky physical essentials, it is time to focus on the smaller and technical details. Here are some things to think about:
- High-speed Wi-Fi router
- Charging docks for phones, tablets, speakers and laptops
- A good cable management system to keep everything tidy
If you equip yourself with a great Wi-Fi router, then you have less lagging and glitching and your live betting experience will be much smoother. In addition to this, making sure you have a good extensive charging dock and cable management system provides a certain order to the hardware that is powering your experience.
