I don't get why many people think that gambling is a serious thing to deal with and think we can make more money and more profit; in fact, it is designed for entertainment, not as a resource.
If you are not doing this for fun, you are not gambling anyway.
Anyway, as a gambler, I learned not to fall into addiction, which was the best thing I did after many years of doing this. And I accept that even though we have been betting for many years and discovering new strategies, winning is impossible without luck. The situation never changes, which is why I still lose, as this is how gambling works.
Topic: Are you developing as a player? - page 6. (Read 1502 times)
Sometimes the concept of developing as a player can be ambiguous, because developing as a player can have many paths, whether it is knowing each game, whether it is having many years playing, whether it is having a lot of experience, but for me particularly and specifically developing as a player means being a player who has more wins than losses in his balance, and that for me is developing as a player, because development has many aspects like the ones I mentioned before , but basically I Would say that a player would have a tendency towards success.
But if the definition of developing as player is just that the balance of wins is much greater than the number of losses, is it easy to achieve?In reality, players always have small odds and the real advantage belongs to the house edge or the dealer, they have everything to be able to gain more profits because they are in business and we are just people who deposit money to spend.
Losing in gambling is always guaranteed and winning is just small opportunity to return the losses that we have previously experienced, this is how gambling really works and as players we can never avoid all of that except with luck.
I personally define development for player as when they are able to lose an acceptable amount of money and are able to control themselves to minimize risks.
Gambling is full of risks and bad impacts, so far very few gamblers have been able to avoid them.
Yes, I already learned many things in betting. The progressing as a player is not much as I don't place a bet too often. But I guess from learning from many sources helps me to improve my skills but I still needs to learn more. If that is about risk and money management, I guess I can handle better than in the past because I know when I can place my bet and when I should not place my bet. Handling the emotion will be my concern as that can helps me to prevent to spend more money in betting. But if that is about the bet, I think I needs to developing my skills because I still lose many times than wins.
I am not trying to recover my lose as that can only makes me lose more money. I feels that betting in sports must have skills to predict the winner so that is why we must keeps learning about analysis so we can know the team that have big chance to win.

I want to ask everyone interested in the topic of betting a question: are you developing as a betting player? Now I don't mean casino games that are completely dependent on luck. I write about sports and other bets in which you can make a profit in the long term, although it is very difficult and the percentage of such players is very small.
I also ask that those who “play for fun” not take part in the discussion. Such people, in my opinion, have little valuable to say on this topic.
If you take your entire gaming history, would you say that you have learned anything during this time?
In other words, are you progressing as a player? Is your strategy improving? Is the quality of risk management and money management improving? Have you learned to control your emotions? Are your winning statistics stable? Do losses keep you out of the game? Have you learned to recover from losses? Are you getting better at predicting the results of sports matches?
Of course I experienced a pretty good development from sports gambling, such as knowledge, self-control and others about betting and understanding football as if I was told quite a lot because of what I did such as analysis, making decisions, reading a lot of statistics, history and possibilities that will happen it really makes me a person who understands more about football betting and even about the sport itself. I also ask that those who “play for fun” not take part in the discussion. Such people, in my opinion, have little valuable to say on this topic.

The highlight of your question is that a more consistent profit is still quite difficult for me to get because indeed some matches there are events on the field that make one team lucky so that even though I analyze well and have predictions on one team it can be broken by the course of the match that cannot be controlled and predicted, such as fouls and events that just happen that designate one of the parties.
But if I feel that withdrawals are much more done than depositing, but unfortunately I don't need to pay attention to that.
In other words, are you progressing as a player?
Anything you are doing, if you are consistent, then the more you keep doing it, then there will be improvement. So the same thing is applicable to gambling, if you are gambling, then there will be improvement, there are some aspects that you are going to improve. Is the quality of risk management and money management improving?
Some people are always finding it difficult to improve their money management. The more people keep on gambling, the more the more they end up addicted to gambling, and they do spend more money on gambling, so only a few people are able to maintain their money management over a period of time. Do losses keep you out of the game?
If I am losing in gambling, I do stop gambling for that moment, or I will reduce the amount I am gambling with, and then, after I notice everything is back to normal, I will increase my gambling amount to the normal amount that I have gambled with before. 
Of course I have made a noticeable advancement and growth within the time that I have being gambling and this is a significant growth in my eyes, since there are some acts that I use to engage in while gambling but this days I make a better decision and make the right bets decisions, so I will accept that that is a growth for me.
What do people expect to see as a development of a player in general? After few games, bets or tries, when game rules are learned, anyone becomes an expert of a game. Imho there is not such thing as skill level in gambling, to be developing all the time. After first or several series of losses, a person either becomes more cautious in placing a bet, as nobody likes to lose or lose quick. It is not like a bodybuilding for example, when the more ages you go to gym, the better you become. And you do it until you hit your max, and then supplements comes into play.
At the end of the month I always feel confused, why my salary for one month is not able to meet my needs for the whole month, I even have to take out a loan to be able to meet my needs. However, if I think about it again, the salary I receive is more than enough to meet my needs for a whole month, and I should even be able to set aside something to save or invest. All night I kept wondering where the money went, and to answer that curiosity, I decided to check the transaction history on my account. And it turns out, oh it turns out, almost half of the salary I receive is spent on gambling. This is crazy, but starting from this incident, it made me realize how important it is to keep financial records and limit gambling activities. Because if not, maybe I will continue to wonder where my money went, and continue to feel difficult at the end of the month because I have run out of money, and will never have enough savings and investments.
I agree with you. Why most gamblers experience severe financial crises is because they don't keep track of their finances and gamble without realizing that they have spent half of their monthly salary. What you experience will be a valuable experience for yourself and others. I know you are a wise person and it doesn't seem like you are addicted to gambling. But even people like you don't realize that they spend half of their salary on gambling. This proves that someone must have good financial management. And it's not just in gambling. In your daily life you also need to manage your finances for your needs, entertainment and subscriptions. I once experienced financial difficulties because I subscribed to too many applications that I didn't really need.
I agree that in sports betting we need skills to bet on. But along with the skills, we also need to have good luck. Luck also plays an equivalent role in sports betting. Yes, I can say that I am improving, as now I do better risk management and take minimal risk while betting. I understand the importance of money; hence, I don’t bet on fan favorites; rather, I do proper research and then only bet on the person who has more chances of winning, irrespective of the odds that I am being offered. I also lost plenty of money while betting, but this only helped me to understand the game better.

You asked a lot of questions and this is interesting to discuss, I myself don't feel that there is any better development if we look at the statistics of wins or profits, it's still the same as usual, but what I feel is that there is development in myself being able to control my emotions better Again, by always considering everything carefully so that you don't make the wrong move or take a decision. and before, I often looked for suitable strategy references, but at the moment I no longer do that, whether it's progress or not, but what is clear is that now I feel better than before.In other words, are you progressing as a player?

Whatever gambling it is, whether it depends on luck or not, I think the point is that it must be done with common sense by considering it only as an entertainment suggestion, because the fatal mistake of thinking that we can make money by gambling tends to be a disaster for ourselves.

Yes, I do quite have a progress with my betting outcome. I've learned things since I started on this industry.Common mistakes on our journey is betting on your biases, betting big against total underdogs,and placing a bet to not miss out. I now have a better control with myself in gamblig, times that I would go against my bias if the opposing choice would be in real advantage, and lastly learned how to skip betting on match ups I'm not having an edge with. Gambling has more of its downside on instances you'd be chasing the profit. Gambling less would generate more profit than pushing our lucks too much because losing is more certain. It is a matter of being a more efficient bettor than to just be aggressive of things. My progress might not be generating as big as others profit but I can confidently say that I'm now having a better gambling journey than before.

In sports betting, experience is a good and a brutal teacher so the answer to all of the OP questions above is Yes.
Strategy, money management, control emotions, have definitely improved, but those are not a guarantee that our winning percentage will be better than before.
Luck factor remains the most important and vital role for us as gamblers, for example:
In the Euro and Copa America this month, it was quite difficult even for senior and pro sports bettor to win in a row because many matches ended with a penalty shootouts.

I think i would like to compare myself several years ago when first time to know online casino with my current condition that i think as a player i am progressing and i feel like much much better now because i can control my emotion while gambling and so far i can wisely to accept my loses and never to pushing and attempts to recoved my loses but i didn't counting my gambling statistics because i was too lazy to do that but i have to says my winning statistics still not stable because sometimes i won but often too i was lostAnd about betting on sport and predicting the results of sports matches currently i was focus on football because i am a fans of this sport and i think my knowledges also increases for this sport because i can predict the outcomes of the particular matches from football much better compared to several years ago

at first I want to tell everyone openly that theirs no one who gambles because of fun, any gambler have two things in involve, so I know quite well that gambling the motive of everyone who is associate of gambling is to gamble and make funds through gambling, whosoever that says that gambling is all about funds that person is saying false and I believe that the person just want to deceive some people, but let us believe that our plans to be a gambler or always partake in gambling is to check if we have the luck to be a beneficiary in gambling, for aspects of gambling strategy, it's what you know you will believe because everyone have it's own ways of participating in gambling I also ask that those who “play for fun” not take part in the discussion.

The first time I engaged in sports betting, I was just betting blindlessly. Just picking random odds hoping I got lucky to hit the right one. But as I progresses, I learned to know the team, strength, and weaknesses, and be able to see whether the odds is realistic or not. The change came when I realized that betting with little knowledge about the sport will incur losses so from that, I tried to at least do some research and look for people's views about the fight. I believe there is no harm in considering other's opinion especially when we are just starting to learn about the teams and the condition of the event.
I’m definitely not developing as a player. I used to only make smart bets to further my enjoyment of sporting events. Now I find myself yeeting money on slot machines with the hopes of hitting a 25,000x win. Granted I only play with money I’m expecting to lose, so it is never a big deal, but I could see how people could start chasing a dream with money they shouldn’t be.
As long as you are in control of how much you put in, there is no problem with that. But one trick gambling play on us is that whenever we set a target amount to win or multiplier, those target will never come instead they come when we don't expect them to. I observed this in sports bet often when I place heavy on what I thought was a sure bet, I will lose helplessly but when I have little confidence on a bet and place casual amount, I end up winning. So don't be surprise that you will hit this multiplier when you least expected.

I think the only improvement and development I can think about in gambling is getting the real understanding of gambling on how to play with amount you can afford to lose, having the real mentality in gambling, this are what I consider to be a good strategy of gambling. If it is about another strategy of making profit in gambling, I don't think their is a sure strategy of gambling to make money. In gambling winning happens as luck , that is why it is wise for one to play with the amount that can be afford to lose. I also ask that those who “play for fun” not take part in the discussion.

Having the main understanding about gambling that won't have a negative effect on one's life is what I consider to be good development and improvement in gambling.

In gambling, one can actually get to know themselves about gambling and also know the game.Don’t forget, no one likes to loss and as such, you take notes. I suppose when I first stated gambling, I was after the high odds because, that’s where the money is. I picked a few in an accumulated option and bet on it. Guess what, only one amongst my other options played out. I learnt a valuable lesson that day. That high odds also meant high risk and such games have a higher chance of not playing out as predicted.
I guess my resolution now have been, even while you gamble, you get to accept the result as inevitable and you can either win or loss of which, both results are still okay.

This is a good question you have asked which has made me to ponder on what's really happening to me and why my results always changing. Strategy is one thing we need to look at comparing it to our results. We can't use the same strategy with other games and expect the same outcomes especially when we had been having a good results.

I have learnt in a hard way never to take gambling too seriously because that is like a loophole for us to lose money without noticing even when we are trying to hard. Gambling is meant to be fun and easy going nothing something that is meant to be positive everytime. Anytime ww make profits, we need to understand that what we earned is someone losses and we should respect that.
