Any opportunity will be profitable if we can bet well. As you said it is important and whether small or big occasion we enjoy it with pleasure is the best way to do it. Sometimes gamblers bet for big opportunities and fail, but small opportunities that can give victory are not taken. The only problem is that greed is endless.
You can find that opportunity but you do not have to feel confident to chase that opportunity because that will not guarantee you to win on that odds. Yes, it is right that some gamblers bet for big odds to win big, but many fail and lose their money. I agree that greed will be on their side because the prize is too big, so they think they can try to win. That is why we must control ourselves to prevent greediness become bigger so that it will not impact us.

Both options have risks so you need to weigh the advantages here from your end.
Usually, small odds will really give you high assurance of winning, however, as you said, one loss, your profit will be wiped out.
Either way, I look at this situation as case to case basis. If you are very familiar with the sports that you are betting on, you know which one to place your bet with high percentage of winning.
Small or big odds, it doesn't matter, if you are living and breathing that sports.
But people need to be careful of small odds, I have noticed betting on small odds can bring about two things Usually, small odds will really give you high assurance of winning, however, as you said, one loss, your profit will be wiped out.
Either way, I look at this situation as case to case basis. If you are very familiar with the sports that you are betting on, you know which one to place your bet with high percentage of winning.

1. Accumulation, accumulating bets has its own risk, I do not accumulate more than three matches, getting more than 3 matches is more risky, but people can accumulate like 10 or more matches. I have seen a friend that accumulated over 30 matches before, not surpsired me he lost many of the matches.
2. If not accumated, low odd which still make it risky, someone can win 5 matches while losing the sixth can take all the money staked and money won from someone immediately. That is why I prefer to make it three matches.
I am assuming by small odds you mean those bets where the wins are almost guaranteed, right? In that case, your risk is low, but the profit is also low. You will be getting small profit, but one bet that goes against your prediction, you will lose everything. Imagine winning 10 small odds, and then losing the next one losing all your profit and also making some loss. That would be a waste of time. I would rather prefer betting on one or two big odds. Those that has 50-50 chances. You either win, or you lose.

I don't bet on sports very often because I prefer slots. But sometime sports betting for match that fall into the big match category will also be quite fun to place bets on. So far I'm not addicted to betting on football match because to be honest I'd rather watch than bet. That may be different from most other gamblers who have an interest in sports betting.
For sports betting, I prefer to choose the team I like or my favorite team regardless of how big the odds are given to it by the betting site. In most cases, the favorite team to win the match quite often gets a small odds from the betting site but the chance of winning the bet is much greater than the opposing team. The risk of losing will probably be much lower if I choose my favorite team in betting, that's why I can't win much in sports betting. I will take the odds of 1.5 for the favorite team if the site is willing to offer it or not bet at all.

Usually bookmakers understate the odds on the favorite, so it is quite difficult to be profitable here. Perhaps it is worth making bets online and waiting for the match to start unsuccessfully for the favorite, in this case the odds will increase and it will be possible to make a profitable bet.
Yes, that's what I do sometimes if I'm watching the game live. It's not uncommon for the underdog to score early in the game, but usually after that the odds for the favorite increase substantially, so it's worth taking the risk.

Oh speaking, slots have indeed become the most favorite games, even though they are classics, but there are many new developments and revolutions with various methods. If I don't play Slots one day then the next day it will be 2x.
As for soccer betting, it's not really a hobby, because it's quite difficult to guess the score, even being a winner will be minimal for me personally. maybe not for others. When I entered gambling, the first thing I visited was like you did by directly looking for Slot games.

Gambling is fun and we should take it for fun, people should not be addicted, they should play good and making it not necessary. I gambled over the weekend when I have time, it makes good sense to me, my budget is not more than 5% of my monthly income. This thread is focused on we that have fun while play bet, even if we lose, we are not sad, we are not affected negatively or depressed, but if we win, another money for beer has been received.
I will like people to comment on how they stake, strictly on football matches. Did you prefer to choose straight win? Did you like to choose correct score? Have you chosen correct score before and won it? Did you like playing 10 minutes over 1.5? The best accumulation you ever staked?
After all your experiences about gambling on football matches, which one has been coming with the best result? Is it accumulating small odds? Or betting on one or two big odds?

I don't really make it as a big deal choosing over accumulating small or betting over two or more odds. As long as I enjoyed playing the game and got odds that completes my betting probabilities, then I'm satisfied over it. Staking any further hasn't come at any circumstances, because I grab every opportunity when I saw chances of any possibility.
Any opportunity will be profitable if we can bet well. As you said it is important and whether small or big occasion we enjoy it with pleasure is the best way to do it. Sometimes gamblers bet for big opportunities and fail, but small opportunities that can give victory are not taken. The only problem is that greed is endless.
I'm not too good in predicting with accumulated odds I rather go for a straight win and it's pays off most of the times. I gamble only 10% of my monthly income and decipline myself enough not to exceed it unless I have won extra income on my bet then I can go as far withrawing a certain percentage then increase my stake for that month.
I think 10% of monthly income going to gambling is rather on the high side except for you gambling is a source of income and not totally fun or you are doing it as investment. Usually 10% is should go for things as important to live, like savings, health, rent, feeding but not gambling but when you see your gambling habit as investment, that can be cool then.
Well 10% is huge if your salary is enough and you have many bills or debts to pay off but actually for some gamblers who already set their finance to different things well I think that 10% is enough for them to lose since that money is for their own entertainment. Maybe we have separate opinion towards this but actually this exist already, I know others can't afford even the lowest but my suggestion if there money is not enough for daily living maybe they should set aside their gambling vices since this one could wrecked them.
You are right, the gambler needs to have a breakdown of his expenses for gambling. Financial management in gambling is very important so that we can control the conditions of defeat and can also calculate the amount of income. Everyone must have managed it well, although there are still some who don't pay attention to what percentage they have to bet.
Breakdown of expenses? That doesn't sound interesting because, at the end of the day, you are just recording your expenses, how about your income, don't you have any income in gambling? if the answer is no, then I think one should not continue to gamble anymore. For me, it should be treated as an income statement wheren income less expenses = profit(loss).

You are right, gamblings should be used strictly for entertainment and not for profit.
I believe that most people who bet on sports games like you and me have the same intention... unlike players tha tbet on games based on cards, dice or similar where only luck is the factor that influences the win or loss.
I bet almost only on football games, I occasionally gamble on other sports just for the experience.
My bets are the most varied, preferably on single-game victories or final championship results but also on the exact scores.
Beting before the game starts is my favorite tactic, regardless of the profit I'm going to make, my choice is based on technique and knowledge that I have of the team.
I never accumulated much with bets, I always revert everything to new bets, obviously... if I have good returns I need to spend less on the following month's bets.

It must be high for some, but for others, it's just a small percentage.
However, I don't agree with your statement that you should put a higher percent of your income if gambling is the source of your income because it does not make sense if you really are making money in gambling or the word source means you are making a living, you should put everything in gambling to maximize your income.
With your response I see a contradiction of my reply and that makes your poster not really clear to me. In my response, my opinion is that 10% is high and that is risky in the first place but if you consider gambling as source of income, well if it works for it but it is surely a high risk to keep doing that. The real idea is that gambling isn't suppose to be done as investment.
well I think that 10% is enough for them to lose since that money is for their own entertainment.
Is an extravagant spending to use 10% on gambling and entertainment if it regular but one time isn't much of problem.

From a pure mathematical standpoint it shouldn't really matter if you choose and combine for example 5 or 6 small odds or if you choose 1 or 2 more unlikely odds, if the end result of the combined odd is the same or at least almost the same. That being said i have the feeling that a lot of small odds are still a little bit more dangerous to choose because no matter how big of a favourite you are you can always loose a match, for example in a football match where the favorite team has 10 big chances to score a goal but does not manage to do so and the opponent has one chance and scores, and if that happens your whole bet is lost. So i personally would not combine a lot of small odds. A handful at most.

Prefers low odds but (not less than 1.5) because the chances are greater to get a win, only occasionally bet on high odds usually after watching a few matches from the club or team that show good performances in that tournament.

Betting on football these days I prefer betting on total goals option, but sometimes betting with moneyline options or picking teams outright. I don't think options like that can be used as a benchmark which we should prioritize, because every match is always a different option in betting and it will be more fun. At least that's the most fun way to bet on soccer and it's not always monotonous in just one option, because that's the way it has made me win big in the past over time. But yes, the big win I got was not collecting small odds because honestly it was just a waste of time, if we are looking for big or small wins then of course I prefer to collect big odds by betting parlays and singles.
That's another strategy if you are good in sorting games that have a higher chance of winning, games that you can accumulate small odd and add it up with your parlay bets.
Small but if you combine those games and manage to correctly predict the outcome, for sure it decent enough to call that day.
There are many strategy coming from different kind of bettors, we always needs to check and balance in whatever practice we have during our gambling moments, either way, if you are not that greed it's always sweet to go out with decent earnings.
I prefer lower odds and more safety rather than chasing big payouts. Slow and steady. There were times, when I took bigger risks but not anymore. I will go for the straight win if I believe there is value in the offered odds. If not I would rather take a double-chance bet. I never bet on correct scores, only if it's some kind of promotion that requires it.
When it comes to accumulators, I feel like 2-4 events is enough. I remember a statement from a serious sports pundit who once said that a professional gambler doesn't bet on more than 1 or 2 events at once. If you think about it, it does make sense. Your odds are exponentially lower if you place too many events on an accu, and so much can go wrong.
What you said is exactly what I want to say. After a few things, people who know how to resume trading should understand it well. After experiencing some things, you will feel that stable long-term income is what you need. It is physical, psychological, and all aspects. All are the healthiest.
