I am only stick to the ones that I know. But I have noticed that the more I used a gambling site, the more I know about the different odds there. The one that was difficult to know for me was handicap which I know some years ago. They are all simple terms but which may differ from casino to casino as some can be called different things there. Do not let me deviates from the topic. If you are unsure of the odd type, best not to choose it. Go for only the ones that you know.

This is where I have to blame myself because already my instinct didn't want me to pick that but I just said since is gambling then what more?
Today I have seen how that option works, though if that I followed my instinct I could have won a total of 7,000 plus but since it's a test run I was doing I wouldn't pick it next time rather go for the options (Market) that I knows more better.
Yes you are right, the reason why I actually choose this local site is that it let me see their past 5 matches so, from there I can know how to book and do my prediction but on few sites I do used doesn't have that feature. I wasn't actually going for the odds rather to explore the options to know how they works, even though the amount used to stake is not that huge I have learnt.

In gambling, I follow my instincts most time so that if I lose, I accept my fate. If I don't follow my instincts and lose, I do blame myself for my actions. However, gambling is for fun and that's why you should only gamble with little amount of money that you can afford to lose in order for you to try other options, and know the one that is in favor with your luck.

It is always after a loss that people talk about if they would have knew, lol.

Normally, selecting a lot of games when gambling on sports games will put you into such situation, you are not the only one and you won't be the last, many people have lost beautiful chances because they picked too many games.

The smaller the numbers of games you pick the higher the chances of winning, this is what I have learned with sports betting.

That is, if that I didn't chose that option I could have end up winning today's game but that option which I don't know very well ended up cutting off my game, this led me to share here to know whether you picked unfamiliar options while gambling or you just stick to those options which you knows very well. Below are my screenshots..

I am sure what you just practice is trial by error methods maybe who knows if that was going to give you winning as I know because most times we often ends up going for the wrong thing and at last it becomes the right thing in gambling. Like we regularly have this thinking, that gambling is a game of luck and not a game of professional and even though you must apply professionalism it's just in gambling maybe skill based game. Thus, when money is involved we tends asking for luck, just as dice, rolloutte, slot, in all we could say they are skill based games but at last what determines our winning is definitely luck and without luck the resulting outcome would be bad either we lose it entirely.

selecting a list of long games and trying out a game you are not familiar with is one risky thing to ever try out because like what has happened, you have only succeeded in setting a big trap for it cutting your game. when it comes to selecting some games from leagues i am not familiar with or from a team i am not familiar with, i will rather use multiple of tickets where one contains games i am a bit certain of while the other can just be me trying out my luck out.

it is best to stick to the option you are familiar with and if for any reason you want to try something new, you give it small time and ensure you are familiar with the team you are selecting so you don't just select teams randomly and end up throwing away your money. there are always games available to be chosen from in almost every week and regardless of the league you are more comfortable with, you cant run out of options to choose from since there are always line up of games to be played every week.

In my opinion choose the game which you didn't know is similar to bets using your insting and it can be gone wrong but if you were lucky then possibly you can won the bets but the winning percentages to pick the options which you don't know is much lower compared to the bets the options you know because basically you were choose only random options and for sport betting we cannot always be rely on our luck to won the bets because knowledges is necessary to increases the winning chances so that's why for this game i always be stick to the option which i know although very often to bets with low odds but i can accept that rather than lost my money

At some point, we all start with something. We try different game variants and decide what we like. But yes, I agree that sometimes the best will be the enemy of the good, and what works well is always better than taking risks and trying something new. However, sooner or later we get bored; hoping for luck, we go to master new variants and new games, I think this is the case with many since without trying something we will never be able to draw the right conclusions.

Okay my title state it all, I wouldn't want to go further ranting much but would like to share a screenshot because while booking the game today in a local casino there are some options I came across which I am not used to it but I just feels like to test running those option to see how it works and, it went the other way which made me losing the entire bet. That is, if that I didn't chose that option I could have end up winning today's game but that option which I don't know very well ended up cutting off my game, this led me to share here to know whether you picked unfamiliar options while gambling or you just stick to those options which you knows very well.

Please share your thoughts.

My thought is that sticking to what you know regards to your gambling options does not mean you have to be taking high risk. Most gamblers that win their bet don't take high risk all the time. I believe going soft and picking easy odds can be more successful than too many risk put together.

For instance in your slip, you can see it was easy with the games you won but you lost that of Monaco vs PSG because of the options. If you had bet on just GG without specifying the half it would be scored then you would have won the bet. Or if you had gone for ov 1.5 or 2.5 at least, it would have still been a clean win for you. However, I understand that high risk games increases the odds but it also reduces the chances of winning.

Again, multiple bets are easy to lose than having few games. So imagine that Monaco vs PSG game was not in that slip and you had just 4/5 games there.

I’d sticking to options or markets I’m familiar with where I understand the mechanics which for me the safer approach cause experimenting with unfamiliar options adds even more uncertainty. We should bet that aligns with what comfortable to us and knowledgeable about. We know that sports betting is gambling with skill or analysis not by chance we should not bet with unfamiliar options.

It is true that it is not right to bet on unknown options. I should bet on what I can analyze and predict because I can manage a match with my own analysis and prediction. In fact, if you are not experienced in sports, you cannot analyze sports betting very well and if you cannot analyze very well, it creates a lot of difficulties in betting and you have to lose bets. In my gambling experience, I bet on sports betting but I cannot arrange many options there. I bet on a small amount of options. Moreover, I do not bet on many famous clubs. I bet very little. Even then, I bet on all the matches where my prediction gives hundred percent confidence.

When we bet on a game or match, we must immediately analyze the match. Because we should not bet until the match is completely researched, an experienced gambler usually considers the odds of the two teams and the performance of each player in the competition. When I bet on a game or match, I immediately feel the performance of the two teams and the strategies, then I participate in the bet.
Not all bets can be won, some bets are lost and experience is gained, for example, if he loses this match, he will definitely gain experience and will not make this mistake in the next match. If he wants to bet on the next game, then he will definitely bet on his strategies and I think he will definitely be able to win later.

I’ve got confused just to check the betting option that you made. It’s a betting combo on a particular match outcome which is equivalent to parlay already but on a single pick.

Bookmaker is now being creative on betting options just to offer higher odds on single bet without the need of parlay while in reality it’s a simplified parlay betting option. I’m always terrible when it comes to parlay that’s why I’m always not creative and exploring when it comes to new bet.

As they say, there's no harm in trying. But since it's something you aren't familiar with, don't risk too much on it. In your case, you're risking your entire bet with that single bet you don't even know. I guess that's where you're wrong.

Most of the time, I stick with those options that are already familiar to me, those that I've grown comfortable with, although it's also interesting to try something new every once in a while. But, again, since that's only trying something new, bets should be minimal. And also it's a prerequisite that you at least understand that which you're risking money on.

When the results are different of course you say that gamblers should also try things that have never been chosen before. So this is a lesson whatever the choice we might win or vice versa, and the defeat because of trying to choose something different from before gives a new experience and is treated normally

I usually stick with my usual choices, sometimes I choose differently, but that's when I see a chance of winning, but of course it's not a guarantee of winning.

When I have certain analysis or strategy that I really believe in to win, then will clearly use the option that is usually always used, choosing and trying other options that have never been used before maybe I will only do it to try it out with lower betting capital so that if I lose it is not so disappointing and can still find out and learn how it works to get more suitable strategy or analysis in the future when want to try it again.
Would be very risky to switch to other options that have never been tried when playing or betting with larger amount of capital, I consider it reckless act to do so.

Yes, stick with the recipe. Don't add spices that are not meant for that dish or else you will ruin the food.

I know a lot of members in this forum who gamble and are good at different options. One can almost perfectly predict the stats of a player, (player props) while others can over and under too.
What happened to your whole parlay really sucks, I hate that kind of loss, one out of many. It happened to me a lot of times and that's why I understand. Same as you, I also bet with over and under and then the team winner and I am sticking with that. I did player props multi-bet before and all I do is lose so I rarely do it now. You are right, we should stick at where we are good at.

Obviously, choosing a known option means that it is easy to do, while an unknown option if the bet loses, especially if the bet is not known in the odds, you may feel sorry for choosing it.

In sports betting there are so many odds options including myself not understanding all of them, so whatever I bet is all that is known in the odds.
The problem is that I have tried several times with unknown odds and even lost more than this option.

Personally, I wouldn't use my regular bets to unfamiliar options. Doesn't mean I wouldn't try it sometimes though just to test things out. From your instance OP it seems like you just suddenly chose that unfamiliar option with no regard to how knowledgeable you are to it, so I guess a loss was rather obvious (or more apparent at least, compared to using your usual option).

It ain't bad to try out options you don't know, but still, if your goal was to win, don't experiment lol. Those are two contradicting ideas after all. You can still win yes, but you probably wouldn't even know wtf happened even if you did.

We do know that once curiosity kicks in then our mind would really be that pushing us to make out some bets accordingly and even if its out of our knowledge and awareness then we will really be actually doing it on which this isnt really that bad. Yes, there might be some regrets because of the potential profits that you should have made but despite of that loses then you had eventually learned and this is really that an advantage. Thinking about out of the box kind of mentality and because of curiosity will really be leading into new knowledge on which this is something that we do really need. If you do find out this kind of options turned out to be that sensible then since you do know on what it is, then you do know on next time on what you should gonna do. When we do make bets then if you are really just that getting used to bet on match winner then it will be something that new into your view specially that there are indeed options on which you can also bet. Whenever you do have some doubts or confusion then you can always make up some research first on what it is but well there are instances that we do directly test it out onpoint before learning.

No, I will not trying some options that I don't know before I research and will stick to the usual thing that I always did before. It is curiosity that makes us want to try the new option but it is better we learn before we apply it. We never know how it works if we are not research and makes us lose while we can actually win all betting. Maybe that is a new feature that the casino apply but we don't have to use it because we risk our money in that bet and we don't know what is the outcome. But some gamblers will try that option because of curiosity but they must accept the risk.

So far I have never chosen a new option or an option that I have never known before about how the scenario works, but that does not mean it is impossible for me to try it but it is also just to be used as an experiment regardless of the results.
I rarely get involved in sports betting and prefer to play on online casino sites because for me it is more fun, for me trying a new option is the same as trying a type of game that I have never played before or that I never know about how the game works, but in my opinion when you try a new option that you have never known before then from the start you should be really ready to lose money, that's all. Besides, in my opinion regardless of whether you try a new option or not, when it's time for you to lose then you will also lose, losing is not a big deal for me. Wink
