Topic: Do you think you should stick to the options you know? - page 3. (Read 2097 times)

From my experience, I personally will only choose options that I understand and not choose other options for bets that are important based on my personal version. Although indeed, sometimes I also choose options that I don't really understand but anyway, the fact is that  I more often get bad results with the options I choose may also be random. With such an experience, it is certainly a lesson for me not to make such random bets too often, because it will only make me get more losses.

You are right, exploring is not a bad thing at all to practice as a gambler, I actually do think that being a versatile gambler who have and have mastered the flexibility of putting bets in different type of sports games and knowing what you are doing is indeed a good skill, and one every gambler should possess.

Sticking to just one type of sports game (like football, and the premier league for example) can be limiting in terms of having options to bet on, and also limiting in opportunities in the sports betting market.
So, exploring is one way we get to learn new things, but the mistake here which I think the op made is mixing new stuff to old ones, when one is not sure of the outcome of the new stuff, it's better to keep it seperate so just incase it turns out negative, it doesn't affect the old stuffs the gambler is already used to.

So, in other words, betting on new markets/options should be done on a separate ticket, and treated as something we are experimenting.

It depends, if someone sticks to one strategy and they are successful well then there isnt an immediate
necessity to explore extra options - thats they way I view these terms.

Personally though I'm sure I dont use a wide variety of options, I use maybe a handfull overall but then
again I wouldnt call myself either a high stakes gambler or a professional one either.

IMO I'm sure there are some gamblers who use the full compliment or near enough that as their options
but I can also imagine they are in the minority. The vast majority of gamblers either dont understand
all the options related to all games they play or they are wary of taking the risk with unfamiliar options.

Obviously, sticking to one strategy can likely be a limitation to one's ability to explore the gambling industry.  If one wants to really have a good time as they gamble, then they would need to have many gambling strategies that best works for them. Because depending on one gambling style would limit the outcome of their results.

However, it is advisable to learn how to explore many gambling strategies so that there would be no limitations as the case may be. Applying different strategies to different games could be a good betting style that could be of good help to a gambler if they are perfect in the skills. It is good not to limit ones self to be static but being dynamic on the space would help alot to achieving numerous gambling results and experiences.

Wow that's a big wow for me because from $1 per spin then increase to $100. He was very lucky winning of $1270 which we never though before. It is not recommend to increase the bet amount especially to the high bet especially if we don't have much money. Miracle will not happen as we want and that is happen too with luck because luck will only come to the right person. When someone already gets a big luck from gambling, he will not easy to get the same thing in the next days. So that will be our reminder so we don't do the same like them and only play gambling carefully and always limit ourselves.

I actually believe in exploration but it still comes down to what you like betting on, when it comes to sport  exploring some options require doing some quick research imo as you could end up regretting why you picked then in the first place just as you also regretted.

However, every extra options you get to master today all started from taking an exploration into different option you were used to, so sometimes it's not like the option is bad but it's just the way you used it and sometime it better to just skip it just like u skip options you are used to picking. Besides, most of this option are likely to be more when it comes to sport betting unlike other casino games where most just have less than few two to five options ..

You are right. We will never know the other options if we don't change our approach and test for something new. But there's also a fine line in there.

That's why I am sticking to the options that I know and I am used to. It's not that I am in the comfort zone but I always want to be consistent into things if it's working for me.

So, as long as the older approach and options work for me, I'd never change in between until I am tired and gets nothing for the most times I gamble.

I started discovering more options when I decided to explore and try out new ones.. you can't learn how to improvise if you stick to what you know m gambling is filled with a lot of options and a lot of gamblers haven't even learnt how to use one tenth of them.. sticking to what you know might seem safe but have you ever wondered if what you know is actually a limitation to what you might benefit if you made more research..in spots betting there's a lot to choose from but knowing how to use them is also very important.. just stake moderately.

You are right, gaining a new strategy requires much practices and this practice involves one putting cost at stake to perfecting the new strategy. At first, it would not be an easy fit but with commitment, persistence and determination one would achieve  it.  One thing you should note is that  it would not take a day to achieve such but by multiple trial and error, one could perfect their strategy.

There are people who do really want to test out something new or into the things that they havent been able to experience before or suddenly it is because of their curiosity on which this causes up for them to think up about on trying it out despite of not that they are familiar on what they've been doing. Actually it isnt really that a bad step on something which is new because there are people who are indeed that wants to discover something and making up some move or step to deal up with it, but make it sure that you do really know on whats the possibilities about losing up money because you dont have that idea on whats ahead. You will be finding out at the moment that you do experience for yourself. When the time that you do deal up with something and becomes knowledgeable then it do broaden up the scope of you knowledge on a certain field and this is one of its benefits that it could have at the time that you do deal up with multiple options. This doesnt really talks about on gambling but also in other aspects in life as well on which it will be that relevant that dealing up with something new will be that making you as a better man. Talking specifically with gambling then if you do make money into those usual betting style or gambling action you do have then better stick into it and continue but if you do want to have some bit change then you can test up some new things around.

Even when trying to implement new strategies,  it's way better to actually continue with that which you know and has been working for you while you make gradual and slight implementation of that which you intend trying out at the moment and then later you could gradually implement the new strategy and then get going wit it if it's working well enough.

I think it all completely depends on what type of games you’re playing. If you were doing sports betting that it’s pretty much a no-brainer that you should only choose what you know or go with what you know I should say. I think it’s OK to play other games that you don’t know so that you can learn. Just be prepared to potentially lose so maybe starting off smaller is a good idea.

Perhaps we know that gambling is basically tired to losing but at some point like experimenting new options or strategies losses that are made are much more painful than when you loss on your old strategy, I'm speaking out of experience. Anyone who has deemed it necessary to start figuring out new strategies that might work for them later would have to know that losses in this period is inevitable because he or she does not know anything about the new options.
As time goes by one will definitely begin to see the benefits of figuring out the new options or strategies.

Yes, new strategies have huge potential when it comes to gains but during making those strategies one might lose some money and give it proper time. Let's say if someone who's trying to make a new strategy that's different from others and is spending at least 100 days to make its winning rate higher then during those 100 days the person will lose some money especially during the early days of it. But, once he/she masters that new strategy and there's chance that he/she is the only one using that strategy then chance of winning for such person will be way higher in long term than others. Especially in trading such people make huge profits and so can be in sports betting.

I will always advise gamblers to stick to what they know best and not to gamble on what they don't know. If you are very good and betting on sports, it will be better to continue and keep trying your luck so that within some certain period of time, you could have gained mastery. This is the power of during what we know best and not trying to have the taste of every soup when we know that this is all about money. Gambling requires money which is why we are using little money to get big money. I will always stick on what I know best especially games I know how to play with high winnings for me.

Trying new things is normal and even good, because if we don't try different options and bets, we won't be able to understand everything that is available to us. And what if something of this will bring us a win in the future, or we will be able to come up with a winning strategy, at least for a while, because there are no permanent winning strategies. In general, I think that even if we made a bet by mistake, on something we don't know, we can still win, and the result of one bet is only a one-time action, and we need to think more about EV and look at things in general, not in particular.

Yes ofcourse, trying something new isn't bad at all but at the same time we need to be cognizant of the time we are trying the new thing.
Sometimes, the timing to try a new thing isn't right and can give you unexpected results and that is what happened with OP I guess.
He tried something new while he was winning the bets and then ended up losing all his profits.

Perhaps it is partly true that players who start borrowing money from friends and acquaintances are often on the verge of gambling addiction or have already become addicted gamblers. Ordinary gamblers are unlikely to continue playing when they have lost everything they could afford on a particular day. By the way, many addicted gamblers usually ask for money on loan, explaining this with some other reason not related to gambling. They are simply lying, of course, knowing in advance that no one will lend them money so that they can lose it again in a casino. And often these requests are related to allegedly urgent needs for treatment, something else that can touch a friend from whom the player asks for a loan.
I think that in this case it is right to firmly refuse this person, not to give him money. Or you can offer him that you yourself will pay for some specific emergency help instead of him.
Moreover, in 99% of cases, the player asking you for a loan will stop asking you for money.

That's right, acceptance is the most common thing in betting, in casinos, we can't go crazy, nor go back in time to see what would have happened if... then given these things we are people who should always see the best, if we lose then there's nothing to do, we have to move on, we have to learn and most likely if we have good management of our money then we will be calm because everything has been done as it should be, for that reason when we look to win in a casino if acceptance is not achieved it is the healthiest thing to do not to insist and fall into possible paths of addiction.

Whatever will not provide guarantee of victory even using what we believe and is suitable for the game or betting, it just that by using what we believe, isn't it the same as choosing the options that we often use, as gambler the habit they do is just repeat the strategy or betting option because that way it can be easier to analyze it.
If just try it, then it is clearly mistake, they will be the same as letting money disappear just like that with failure and it should be noted that not everyone will be able to learn from every mistake they have made.
