Experience may help but not really a big factor as I know a lot of people who have a long experience gambling, knows almost everything but they aren't still winning, so what you really need is skills, and with skills you can always be confident staking a high amount even with high risk.

You are right too. But sports betting requires both experience and skills. I have observed that from my own experience, I have been involved in sports betting for many years. As I have seen during this period, experience is more useful.

Because before betting on a team you need to know a lot of information about that team in advance, which new and inexperienced gamblers cannot find out. There are always risks involved in gambling, but your experience and skills can reduce that risk.

Should I go for bigger amount of bets on few matches or stay with current strategy (placing many bets of small amounts)?

This depends on you. It depends on the kind of staked you are. But if you are betting small and winning also, that should be better for you. What matters is consistency but if your present practice of betting is not working for you, then you can try another option you know.

For me the best way is do some research and only bet on SURE WINS. ~snip

I'm cutting the rest of your statement. I'll focus on the sure wins thing. No, it's impossible, you can say sure win but in reality you can't achieve that consistently if you are true to yourself.

That's what I think sometimes, I think it's a sure win but most of the time I am wrong.

In sports betting there are odds maker, they make the market of betting odds and most of the time we get lured thinking that a certain odds is gonna give an easy win, that's the reason why the public loses as they can easily get lured by the line that is considered as a trap.

Very confusing decision that circles in our minds. Mostly, the situation is that if you bet smaller amounts, you'll win 6 out 10 bets, while if you bet bigger amounts, you'll win 3 out of 10 bets (if you're lucky), that's why you'll get confused which is better. But since the results will always be the same that you'll end up a loser, I'd rather bet smaller amounts to enjoy how long it will last.

Especially if you only have small funds and you just wanted to have fun while hoping you could be lucky to make profits out of it.

For me the best way is do some research and only bet on SURE WINS. That way even if you bet big or small, you will profit. Don't bet when you have doubts because that will only count as lose. I suggest you bet on Basketballs as they are easier to predict due to strong teams being assembled.

It depends on you and how much experience you have gained so far. You should start with a small amount bet, because it is very dangerous to take the risk of a large amount in the beginning. As you said you bet a lot of small amount, and later you see the difference in the amount of profit/loss. This means that you have less knowledge about sports bets. So in this case, I do not think it would be right to take big amount bet.

Control your greed and try to gain experience. You need to gain more knowledge about sports bets, which will help you to get an idea about a team in advance. Then you can start betting with a big amount and take risk.

Experience may help but not really a big factor as I know a lot of people who have a long experience gambling, knows almost everything but they aren't still winning, so what you really need is skills, and with skills you can always be confident staking a high amount even with high risk.

I have been gambling a lot these days with soccer matches but I'm not enough lucky to make a profit. Howeber, I'm not into huge loss. It's very tiny amount if I check all the previous P/L.
I don't bet big amount. Usually, I bet $4/$5 worth of BTC on a lot of matches; sometimes I win and sometimes I loss. But that can't make me any profit.
Should I go for bigger amount of bets on few matches or stay with current strategy (placing many bets of small amounts)?
Whenever i gamble i only allot small time because of my time schedule so i prefer betting with small amount at first but when my time is up i do it one bet all in,because i have my budget when i play.

But if you are Playing with the desire of enjoying and trying your luck?then better bet small for the team you don't familiarize and bet high on your own team.

In this you will save your chances at least for a couple of betting .

I would say go all in in couple of matches than spreading across small amount on a lot of matches. I'm talking about experience here and this is my personal opinion. At least you will have to known early if you have lost already instead of waiting for other matches to complete to see if you have won. Specially if you do a parlay, it will just take one loss and your win is completely scratch. So just parlay 3 matches bet big and then wait for the outcome.
But that can not always work for him because we know that sometimes one method can not work for two people. Maybe he can spread across a small amount in many matches, so he can have a chance to win. But that will depend on how good he chooses the team because he really needs to have more information to bet in many matches. He can use another method in which he can think that it will fit with what he wants.

Yes, probably it works to him but it's not guaranteed to work with others.
Everyone can choose his betting technique but there's only one way to tell if such technique is working, and that is if we are profitable.

The profitability I am talking here is long term, not short term as short term does not say consistency, it could be only due to luck.

Based from my personal experience, I highly advise that you bet on small amounts but on increasing increments.

For example, if your initial bet is $5, if you lost on the round then your next bet should be at $10. The reason on why I recommend it because it has the potential of recovering your losses given that you win in a round. But if you have limited capital, then I would not suggest this method as this would burn your resources quickly especially if you experiencing a losing streak.

It is personal taste, if the gambler has a greedy target going all-in in a single match will boost or kill all balance. The idea is simple: Making money with this or that way. If the gambler feels luck and bets all in Blakcjack table this is craziness but in sports betting things are different. If the pre-made analysis is correct then going all-in is better than putting the small portion of the balance, IMHO.

Some people depends on their mood which is really much risky.

Most of the people said that don't gamble when you're happy because it might give you courage and don't care about the results that might come out. If you feel that you are lucky that day and you have a confidence towards gambling, just try first if you are really good at it. You should be aware about the greediness and self-discipline because the two can bring a good and bad effects on your gambling journey.

Even a small detail should be important in gambling, people are different and most of us can grow and learn more in gambling by experience.

Maybe, from time to time, they developed the mindset between betting smaller or big amounts in gambling casino.

It's almost the same the only difference is in the team you want to bet like what other said if you are confidence for the team you want to bet then you can bet higher but if you doubt about the team you want to bet then you can also reduce your bet so the risk to lost is can also be lower.
Depends on the situation mate,there are gamblers that wanted to enjoy the games thats why they choose to Bet small in each matches to kill time at the same time do their betting.

i agree on you as a gambler,but not as wanted to be entertained.Betting big in single match means you need to go home once the team you choose lose?while if small amount in each game then you have more chances to enjoy the whole day.

yeah, if you want to earn from betting, there is a chance if you bet on one or two matches combined, everything more than that is a pure luck, and should not be considered.
Of course, no one should recommend earning for living from betting, but if one want to try, a lot of matches on one ticket is a way to lose money. Sometimes you can win, but that will be a rare situation, and usually you will lost money - so it is just a matter of luck, but if you follow sport (or whatever you bet on), you can find good quotes (since quotes are generic) and use it to make your winnings better. This requires a lot of work, and it is not as far as interesting, as just watching match with small bet to make it more interesting, it is a job (which you could love or hate, like any other)
What is that "Quotes" that you mentioned?where can we find that?

and Generic quotes?do you mean in this thread?he will find good quotes to make winning better?or you mean advises from people in this thread?

anyway Gambling is Pure Luck,no doubt about that so either you bet big or small,only Luck will give you winning and that is what gambler must
put in mind,it is not about how much your capital and time is,because if luck does not come your way then everything is just
 a expectation that will never come.

The chances of winnng much decent is more prefer if you choose this way.

I'm talking about experience here and this is my personal opinion.

Seems that you are very active with sport betting, Me I prefer also to have few bets with good spare money.

At least you will have to known early if you have lost already instead of waiting for other matches to complete to see if you have won. Specially if you do a parlay, it will just take one loss and your win is completely scratch.

Good point, with few  games you can prepare yourself for another sets of games the following day.

So just parlay 3 matches bet big and then wait for the outcome.

With luck beside you that will turned to a huge earnings.

Compare rates on different exchanges & swap.
In my experience big amount on couple of matches or even single bets is better than small amounts on a lot of matches. At least it's like that for me, I am more profitable with larger bets on carefully selected game or max two games, than with chasing a bunch of games with low bet, many times I lose with just one miss, but it happens to me to lose with more misses! I think that even simple calculation can help you here, it's easier to make $5 with $10 bet on single game, than to try to make $5 with 1$ on many matches with low odds!


Your method would well for people who take time to properly research future bets before betting. The knowledge gained from the research should reduce the risk of losing the big/medium bets amounts.

The small bets would work for new/inexperienced bettors who want to learn betting from experience without risking too much.

I think I would go for both for the reasons given... that is: skilled bettors could bet big/medium amounts for well researched  games or competitions while New bettors could learn with small occasional bets

For me, it is depends on the game and it depends on the odds and possibilities.

Both are risky, no matter what you choose between the two, the outcomes are still two, win or lose.

Because if you try to bet in a small amount and you lose, probably some people will do the martingale strategy in gambling. They will double their bet which is the second option, big amount of bets will surely occur, but not all people are like that. But most of the people really do the Martingale Strategy to recover his losses but if they're unlucky, they will end up having much larger losses in their money.

No one can be sure of winning in gambling, regardless of the odds or chances you will pick.

In dice, you can put 1.10 multiplier but you can never have a 100% chance of winning, the same principle is applied in sports as well.
You know, the most important is to be able to determine the risk and to understand the real chance of winning and that is by knowing the game and your chances of winning realistically.


I agree with you, there is no guarantee of winnings when betting. We need to diversify our risk with spreading them over more bets in my opinion. There can always be a time of a few bad beats in a row. And we have multiple bets instead of just one, it doesn't hurt us so much if we lose some. Mixing a few bets with high risk/high reward into our other bets is a good way to get higher returns from time to time. And if we don't win we still have our usual bets to cover the loses.

If you are expecting to make more money then you should go with bigger bets and on the matches you are sure that you can win it, probably the winning amount is less but when you bet big amount then you will be getting decent amount in the rewards.
Indeed, you already mentioned that you are almost not creating profits at all. I guess it's time for you to change strategy. Bet bigger. You know, the higher the risks means the higher the possible rewards Cheesy. But remember, always consider your current status before doing so. If you can afford to lose bigger than the usual then go ahead but if not then don't push yourself. Stick with your old strategy (at least for now) until you finally get larger funds.
