Topic: Betting small amounts on a lot of matches or big amount on couple of matches? - page 6. (Read 7235 times)

I wouldn't say going all in on a specific match is similar to a jackpot win unless you're doing a same game parlay that boosts your odds above 2 or taking bets that are unlikely to hit. It's not that hard to win one bet if you don't rush your bets sometimes going all in could mean you're desperate to recover your losses and that forces to make quick bets which usually doesn't end well when you could've spend more time looking for better matches.  

There is a reason why gamblers and investors use many of the same terms and that is because even if the activities are different both have to do with money, making big bets may seem like the optimal way to bet as this gives the greater amount of profits, but you are only thinking on the scenario in which things go according to your plan, but what happens if you fail? Well you will lose big and you do not want that don’t you?

So the best thing we can do is to make small bets, that way if something goes wrong you do not lose as much money and you can recover it during the next weeks by making many other small bets.

Ofcourse. It's probably like doing fundamental and technical analysis in Crypto trading and betting on two coins based on the analysis. I assume football betting sites already have tools for bettors to analyze teams/matches fundamentals, team records, players past/present fitness, players skills, etc.   The information will certainly help people bet right.

Base on my understanding is that betting on smaller amount of bets to different matches vs. betting huge in just few matches or shall we say betting all in one match like wishing to get a jackpot win.

I tend to chose the kind of betting to which I could done earlier. Most likely betting on a single match all in. But before I could chose to bet I make sure to analyze first my choice and why is it that I am going to bet for that choice. I also making a mindset that whatever result the bet was it will be alright because this is all about gambling and no way to dictate the result of the bet unless you own a mafia to which you can ask the team to let lose for that certain match. LOL

I can bet smaller bets on different matches but I am not going to excite always if I am going to win to which it will be expected that winning amount is also low in amount.

However, the concern is betting on a small amount on several matches, not betting a small amount for a single match.

Obviously, it's not recommended to go all-in in a single bet but I don't see any difference in terms of risks if the amount involved will be split instead to take advantage of the low odds on several matches thinking it's way more profitable.

Low odds need a good amount in order to feel the profit. And people have to take note that not all the time, low odds is a sure win. I'd rather take chances on decent odds on a single bet or try making a parlay for a minimum of @1.5 odds each slip.

Some people do think about that diversification or allocation on several bets with small amount of money being put up unlike if they do just bet on few ones with big money involved then they do really had that mindset that it is more riskier.I don't know but this is just also my impression and im sure that some will really agree upon.

Talking into the real side of things and about probability then theres no doubt that having a few but bigger bets will really be much more worth if I were to say but somehow
this will require in depth analysis and good decision making on choosing which one you would choose to bet.

Some people said its a matter of preference which is actually true but basing off into the realistic and worthy side then we do already know the answer.

I think the answer is obvious. Thorough the years as a gambler, I have realized that it is more profitable to place higher amount of money on just a few matches than to place small amounts on lot of matches.
It is simply because there is a higher chance of loss with staking a a lot of matches. This has even been proven mathematically if you study 'Probability' well enough.
You can greatly the reduce the risk of losing and increase your chances of winning by just selecting a few matches ( ones you're confident on) and stake a high amount of money of it

Of course if you are going to play more once you won some money and that is the mystery behind betting,in sport betting people rarely at all in unless thay are crazy fan of the player/team which they were about to bet but apart from that people will be strategically but lowering too much also won't help either.

The same thing can happen if you spread your capital between ten bets. At best, you will always stay at zero. At the same time, you certainly do not take into account the cost of your time.
Personally, I choose to bet on 1-2 matches rather than ten.
Trading is very different from betting on matches. In trading, you can make a reverse trade at any time and get minimal losses. In betting on matches when your team's opponents score three goals, you don't say to the bookmaker: return my money or at least part of it.

I've some limitation on betting, what I want to say every individual has different way how they put money on it. This is because minimize the lose, by betting small amounts on a lot of matches give me more success. However, our profit depends upon the time we spend on it. The facts demonstrate that betting isn't exactly as beneficial as it once might have been, however there's still chance to be made decent money. In betting my purpose is using the most ideal approach to get great return.

Splitting your bets in smaller amounts means you can take more losses and upsets happen more frequently as some of the teams are affected by the new normal. I agree that the odds aren't the same but even if you're very confident on a team they could still lose. With a bigger bet it's one and done situation that's up to you if you prefer that strategy but like i've said, with a smaller bet strategy you can simply climb back even if you've lost 5-10 times in a row and it sucks to lose your deposit in a short amount of time.

if you really believe in luck then why afraid in betting for 1 way game?

if you win then Boom stop right away if you lose?then you have no choice but to stop lol.
that is not over confident but being practical,why need to longed your playing when at the end you will lose?so better play short to find your luck.

Even in any kind of game betting is quite tricky and risky at the same time because you dont know if the team that youre betting in would win or loose. The risks of being loose was still there. But of course you can have a little ray of sunshine to win when you were going to check its player and the team background, how they play, how many game the winned. Also from the player itself of course a different game has a famous name that was really good in playing its game. From there you can partially predict a end game result.

Betting these days have been quite tricky, especially when it comes to football you never can be too sure as what might seem to be the result of the outcome untill the final whistle is blown.
One thing we must put into consideration in choosing what pattern our bets should assume either with lots of games and a little stake as per amount or few games with a high stake is how the odds are been given or evaluated.
To me, most odds are given based on individual teams player quality, past experience, leagues or nations rankings, past histories, current form and lots more. For a fact, a nearly relegated team could carry a rather ridiculous odd which I tells no chance of winning but then, the against team might neglect maybe just a little and the outcome turns against them in favour of the almost relegated team. That's just an instance but then, I'll always prefer to limit the games on my bet slip to it's possible minimum baring a targeted winning amount in mind and then increase my stake accordingly. This in turn lives you withbonly games your supposed to be certain of and reduces your time on waiting and watching for other events to unfold.
Although, their is no such bet as a safe bet or stake on a bet for that which you consider safe can in turn run dark clouds on your sunshine.

Place all-in bet must be avoided to every gambler because that is one way to lose all of our money in a short time. If you care about your money, you will not do that, and you will try to place a bet in a small amount so that you can play for some rounds. Maybe we don't have to deposit in a large amount of playing gambling because that is the first thing we must do before we play gambling.

Having confidence is good, but if we won some money, that feeling would become overconfident, which will not be good for us to continue gambling. Maybe if we have that feeling, we can stop gambling. But I guess that we will not feel that, and we might continue to play for more rounds.

It's complicated and having mixed emotions that results to random decisions in gambling is just normal. But, it's not good if you always feels that way. A gambler needs a solid plan, being a decisive individual, and always sticking on his plan to avoid extra losses. I wouldn't play gambling if I'm not that confident that I could make profits when I deposit my money and start betting.

We have to be mature on where we are going to spend our money. If someone won big in gambling, that doesn't mean you're gonna be as well if you play gambling. We have to find our expertise, losing big once in gambling is enough proof for us to stop and try another way to earn money.

As a rule, such decisions end in losing the whole deposit! In any case, I have had it several times, in soccer matches, in which I was fully confident!

It's the same in trading!
I would not advise anyone to place an all-in bet! Especially when you set yourself the goal to earn money! This is the right way to failure!

I have same issue. Winning big and consistently winning will involve playing less game and staking high but I'm always scared to take the risk. When I pick many games and stake low, the tendency of winning the game is very low. Sometime I may run a long streak of loss before I recorded a win which when compared to my loss, the profit margin is little so I'm intending stepping up my staking amount and going for less game with not too outrageous odds. This might be the only way forward to be a successful gambler

High bet amount =  more profits,

Number of bets is not really a matter on luck based games because there will be no increase in the percentage of winning when we bet on more games so going with high amount for few bets can tell us our fate of gambling.

Same for me i also preferred to bet large in a matches that i know the team a head from other team. I mean whats the point of having many bets if you know the odds is not the same per matches and if they will win its only depend on the team.
