We have to think about the fatigue factor so that we are not in front of a monitor or looking at a cellphone screen if we use a phone to gamble. Besides that, if we often experience loss, we will experience regret and grief for what happened to us. And we need rest to deal with that sadness, especially if we have been playing gambling for too long without stopping. I also rest after playing gambling for some time or even I often only play gambling for only 15 to 30 minutes and immediately stop after because I feel that is enough for me to gamble.

This is absolutely what I need. It is having a break in between sets of every game or session. In my experience, staring too long at the screen makes my eyesight fatigued and my mind foggy. Then I will get bored. That boredom triggers me to bet on unplanned games, just to satisfy or overcome my boredom. Until I realized that my profits is gone because I am gambling the money that I shouldn't the first place. Just because I got bored. Same with winning consecutively that we got overconfidence, I will win this time too, then I lose my money. So taking breaks I believe is a must. Get some fresh air, or get downstairs and drink water. Just get off the screen and rest for a moment.

If you can resist the urge to bet again after winning and prefer to rest, it will refresh your mind so that you are no longer emotional when you bet again. Sometimes we just need to analyze, place bets and wait for the results. And if the result is we win, we can rest and vice versa. Don't try to get another victory after we win but try to rest a while. And after resting, we can bet again; this time, if we win, we repeat as before while collecting the winnings. And if it reaches the minimum withdrawal limit, we can withdraw it and celebrate our victory.

I don't think it's that easy because when we make a bet, we can't just stay silent, we also look for other betting options that can provide better odds.
After all, when we win, it's also impossible to collect winnings and then withdraw and enjoy them, the desire to bet again so we can win more will always come to mind so that in the end it doesn't collect but instead runs out entirely because of defeat.

It is best to really look for betting options that allow you to win and only use money you are willing to lose when betting.

Bookie usually sets odds based on the demand of the market. They are not deciding this on their own just to allure someone to place bet on an unusual odds since there’s still a possibility for that pick to happened. Bookies earned most of their profits on their house edge since they always have a profit no matter what the result is. There’s no odds gives 2.0 both side that will make bookie breakeven on a match but instead most picks has a negative EV in favor for bookie.

Those alluring odds on some cases is just very rare and some of them is just a result of bookie error. But most of the time, Bookie focus on house edge instead of trapping players on this kind of trap odds.

Arbitrage betting is very risky, they as in the paltform can easily block your account. They do mention it in thier T&C still, gamblers use it to an extent where they get caught. I have not encountered it but I did found out that while going through different platforms that arbitrage betting is possible. I did create a thread about it and everyone replied that it is a risky investment. Imagine you won but you cannot withdraw becaut multiple platforms found out what you were doing. It happens when a casino ask you to reverify your identity. I won't support it as it is prone to loss and it can be considered a bad idea.

Maybe you can get a lite sanction by voiding the bet and let you earn that warning, but the thing is you losses the other part of your
bet as doing arbitrage needs another site to place your other bet.

If one of the site freeze/void your bet, meaning to say that you are on the losing side, like what we understand, if that's not prohibited, the
advantage is on the gambler's side.

You just need to take time to sort it out and find the value bet, but in reality it's not and most of the time you'll wreck your capital.

It's good to bet and wait for the outcome. If you win, then collect and withdraw your money, then enjoy celebrate your win.

Getting your account banned for arbitrage betting is a very probable option. If it wasn't we'd all be doing that and all betting sites would go bust. But no legally operating casino can seize your funds permanently as that'd be simply illegal. At very worst they could freeze your account for the time of investigation if they suspected any abuse, or they could not pay you your winnings if they had evidence of you violating the terms of service, but that would be pretty hard to do for arbitrage betting, as the betting site can't see your betting history on other platforms.

Just a reality that even you try to find the strategy that you think might work the outcome most of the time still favor the house, not just because of the house edge but also with how they handle the odds, bookies are good in alluring bettors, and knowing that inside gambling there's no accurate or any assurance that you'll continue to win.

improving a winning strategy can be done and it will definitely get a win if you use an arbitrage strategy  . but I don't recommend doing that.
TBH, several times betting on sports and other types of casino games I have tried to improve my strategy to be able to win but in reality I still get defeat. with this I'm thinking that maybe I don't need to think too much about improving my winning strategy but just bet a few times on a team match I know with a slightly larger amount. so that I have a little time to bet on sports betting but if I win I get a little big win.

I'm not advocating for throwing all the money into one pot and going all in on one thing. Of course you need to budget for all life expenses and carefully plan to achieve your financial goals.
Personally, I do have multiple special purpose reserves (house repairs, holiday fund, car maintenance fund etc) and diversify my investments. But at the same time, I'm looking at it as one big fund and periodically would evaluate it to make sure I manage it in the most optimal way (to the best of my abilities). For example, I have separate funds for investing, but that doesn't mean I cannot also invest money held as a house repair fund. It doesn't make sense to keep it on a low-interest bank account and watch it get eaten by high inflation.

Back to the subject of gambling - what does it even mean to have your money split as "your own budget" and "the gaming budget"? Obviously your gaming budget should be a part of your own budget, unless you're gambling with other people's money. And what's the point of having a hard split (other than to make yourself feel better)? If your gaming budget is low or drained, but you spot an amazing betting opportunity - are you not going to take it (provided you have other funds and can afford to risk them)? Or if your gaming budget grows big (by luck) and you have a great investment opportunity - are you not going to take it just because you earmarked that money for gambling?

Yes, arbitrage betting always favors you as a gambler, but once the sports house finds about your practices, the chance of
freezing your account or void your bets can take place.

Not only that, the chance of closing your account without getting your money back is also possible, it's not easy access since
house also needs to protect their money.

winning strategies are extremely difficult to develop in betting including sport betting.

Better to find other options or alternative that will give you some decent chance of winning.

even professional gamblers still experience defeat when trying to analyze carefully and bet on the chosen team. on the one hand using the arbitrage strategy on betting maybe someone thinks this is very easy to do but it is very difficult and too big a risk when the sportbook finds out its customers using the arbitrage strategy will immediately be banned from the sportbook and I call this a loss.
but even though luck is still very important here, at least using any strategy can minimize losses so that they are not too big.
