When we say betting strategy the first thing that have to be in our mind should be is there any strategy for betting, I said this because betting as it implies does not have any strategy because the more you think you have study either the odd or how to win, the more you loss note betting is referred to as unforseen circumstance and does not have strategy because the outcome can not be determined.
At times calculated betting helps in keeping ourselves on the safer side. This can be done based on the odds, if not the best choice is to go for live betting and make alternate choice of betting if the prediction have gone wrong. This is how I prefer to select odds, because even with much precise data analysis and choosing odds we end up losing because of bad luck. So, in all means if luck favours us everything brings win.So in the end, it is the luck that gives us the winnings. I agree, even with all our knowledge and hard work of research for data just to get the most possible way to win, if luck doesn't favor us all those efforts will be in vain. I believe nothing beats self-discipline and no strategy can outdo it in minimizing our losses.
Martingale originated in dice games first but later on people use it on any other games so why not in sports betting right?
Was it really originated in dice? I read it was a simple strategy created for coin flipping [1].
Quote
A martingale is a class of betting strategies that originated from and were popular in 18th-century France. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins the stake if a coin comes up heads and loses if it comes up tails. The strategy had the gambler double the bet after every loss, so that the first win would recover all previous losses plus win a profit equal to the original stake. Thus the strategy is an instantiation of the St. Petersburg paradox.
