I believe that in gambling it is better to use simple and well-studied game options. If you strictly adhere to this rule, the player will never get into the situation you described.

The most important thing in gambling is winning. The game process itself should not be complicated, on the contrary, it is better if it is simple and understandable. It is better not to be distracted by new information at all, to ignore it temporarily.

I remember reading that there are two types of thinking: strategic and tactical. A person with strategic thinking never takes action without first asking himself the question - "Should I take this action now or not?"
That's the best we can do. Ask ourselves first before taking action.

I think there are many gamblers now who just pick the favorites because that's what the odds say and they don't even think about the other possible result of the game. It's the basic pick, that's what they will say. Even though the truth is they are blindly picking and just relying on the odds that the sports bookie gave.
I have been playing in different options and mostly in total over and under and I can say I made some good money there although there are times I tend to get greedy and make the parlay longer which is a mistake for me. Still, I know that's where I am more attached because I always watch games, and I believe I find more good results there than the other options like player props.

Trying out new options is really not that bad, especially in sports betting. I can remember when I was searching for new options to try out, or I saw some options that showed big odds, and I was wondering what the option was. I had to contact a friend who I knew was really good in sports betting.

He explained it to me, and I tried it out myself, and at the end of the game, I was able to understand what the option meant better, so if someone must try out a new option, it's important they research it in order not to gamble blindly.

That is why most casino sites have a small "hint" button on each sports betting market, providing short guidelines to help you grasp what you're playing on. I've been gambling for about a decade and still don't have any favourite market options; I want to experiment with new markets as they emerge.

My strategy of exploring different markets as i see fit is working for me..

That's similar something I said, any experience we have is a lesson to us, and is good to ask questions about anything you're doing, because if you don't ask questions it can leads you to the negative side, but it's simple for to make research in anything we know that is strange to us, with help of Google you can get the insights of the method of the game, anything that's new have it's solutions, so the problem is that op did bother to ask questions before betting.

Not every time that trying out something news is good for us as sometimes we should only just stick to what we know and keep doing it until we make alot of money that we can now comfortably try out new things without being scared that we are going to lose money. Trying out new things is a risk and by doing so you are taking a 50 percent chance of succeeding but when you stick to what you know, you can increase your chances of succeeding. Gamblers are use to not staying with what is working for them as they always want to try out new casinos, new games and this sometimes does not go as they planned therefore they lose alot of money. Gambling is already a big risk therefore when you see something that favours you, do not leave it for others.

I'm a very rigid gambler and that could mean that i don't for any reason like trying out options i am not familiar with, before i must do such, i must make sure i am already abased with what the options entails and so i don't go straight doing it at a first trial because that will mean a disaster for me which i wouldn't wan to tolerate at the moment.

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. Below are my screenshots..

Please share your thoughts.

Everyone has to learn new things, you might even call it the spice of life and sticking with the same monotony can get boring real fast. That being said, you have to know the boundaries of your knowledge and where you need to stretch it in order to be successful at new endeavors. Learning how different casino games work like black jack, roulette, craps, etc. can help you see different angles but they all tend to have an underlying theme - that the house will have a slight edge. Everyone who has mastered a certain "art" began from zero knowledge, some of it might be transferable from different fields, but the best learned knowledge is that made through painful mistakes that really cut deep.

Hmm actually it doesn't matter to try new options if you are really curious, but one thing we must always remember and prepare is to try to be really ready for whatever will happen, because after all we have never tried the option before which means we don't know how it works, I also did it when I tried one of the new types of games at an online casino where there were so many new features that I saw and didn't understand and that made me prone to making mistakes that shouldn't have been necessary.

So in my opinion the point is if for example you find a new option and want to try the option then try to be ready for whatever the consequences are, especially you have to be ready for defeat, in my opinion that's all, try to never regret anything that will happen.

All action have their consequences, trying new thing ain't bad though , but when trying new thing still trying and understand some stuff about that option you wanna to try rather than jumping in like that.  Because at that moment the only thing you could do is hope for the best  and be ready for anything either win or lose .

That's it there's no need to regret anything, imo when comes to trying new thing don't go in with money you can't afford to lose especially when is related to gambling and stuff, you can go with little amounts of money to avoid any huge losses if the game endup not going your way .

Every gambler should know what option bets suit their method of gambling. But like i said earlier we won't know what may work better for us if we don't try it for the first time.
Is good for you to options of gambling before you stake, that options is simple something that op would have research through Internet to get the options accurately, almost every gambling have a similar options, except its a situation whereby you have not inquiries very well.

We learn every day either from our mistakes or from others own. What I normally do if I see an unusual option or an option I'm not aware of is either contact someone for a better explanation or use my Google I don't just like placing bets blindly again; that enables me to follow up my games properly and cash out if the tune of the game wants to change.

If only you had maintain the strategy you used for your other 11 games by betting on either Over 0.5 or Over 1.5 in all, you possibly would have won this your betting slip, but just that the amount and odds would have been very low, as I'm pretty sure the high odds is what must have triggered you into selecting that game in your midst of games, since it had 3.5 odds, which must have contributed to the over all odds of the slip. Hence, it's advisable when next you intend to place a bet, try as much to use one strategy in all.

Before you even start playing, you should decide what you want: to follow your strategy, already tested in practice, or to try experimenting. If your goal is experimenting, then it is hardly right to bet big money on it. Experimenting is okay, but it should not be confused with making money. If you simply follow your gaming system, then you should not deviate from your rules. This is required by discipline. A lot of drama in the betting market could be avoided if we simply followed our rules and these considerations.
Even if we choose the option we’re most familiar with, there’s still no guarantee of winning. Whether we go with an experimental approach or stick to the old strategy, it doesn’t really matter. What is important is that we pick the option we believe is right and the best fit for the game. Well, we have to note that gambling comes with great risk. Therefore, we are going to accept the outcomes of every bet we make. If we make a mistake, we treat this as a learning opportunity, not a reason to blame ourselves. Otherwise, we are just wasting our time here.

You are very correct, there's no guarantee that a particular strategy can give you an edge to winning in gambling, it is there advisable for one to stick to a particular strategy if it helps them to succeed in gambling especially when they have won with that strategy good number of times. I believe that succeeding in gambling has a lot to do with having luck because luck plays a vital role in gambling. There is no strategy that I will advise anyone to stick with but having a good record and knowing the past statistics of both teams before placing a bet will help the bettor to increase his chances of winning in gambling.
Agree, you need a strategy that always work on a certain games, it's not always the same strategy because the algorithm adjust but of course after decoding the correct strategy, you really need to stick on that strategy and be consistent. Being consistent might help you to minimize loss and could give be more efficient on winning. Of course, this is pure entertainment, sometimes you're just blind betting but analyzing a good strategy and using it for multiple times is kinda entertaining too.

A strategy still requires luck to win but of course always maintain that the strat always give high probability of winning. Smiley

It is basically victory that is sought and therefore many gamblers use strategies in their bets to get themselves to that victory, but there are many ways in gambling and yes there are people who use strategies and there are ways that people just bet and rely on instant understanding, or you call it tactics in making a decision in betting, and this is very dependent on complete luck to get victory.

The big question is whether the strategy that is always used always gets an advantage over the defeat, if it often gets an advantage with the same understanding, then the best choice is to use the known choice to get a victory.

Should we relate choosing what you're most familiar with to one's instinct or to one's researched opinion. These are sometimes what draws a thin line between someone who makes decisions based on their instincts and those who make decisions based on their convinced experimented information. All still choosing the option we're familiar with.

As a gambler, I would always advise you to make research on the information either it's old strategy or new before taking into conclusions because every single game has one thing or the other it is peculiar with and you will always want to choose an option from an informed position and nit just instinct. The importance is that it assists you to be more accountable and bold to your decisions being it a win or a lose instead of ending up in a guilt.

The bigger the ego, the more blind we are, lose control and lose logic, you could say. do not have a wise soul because an irregular life will be destroyed. Gambling is indeed fun, but if go too far or have high hopes that don't use common sense, you will fall even deeper. Indeed, every human being is not far from problems, but problems that are born have good lessons for us in the future
That is why we must stay aware when playing gambling and know what and how we should be in gambling. We should think before decide and if choosing the new feature that we don't know is difficult for us to win, we don't have try it instead use the feature that we already know. We can learn about using the new feature because there is no hurry to use that feature especially if we don't know much about the feature. That will prevents us to blindly use the feature without knowing anything.
saw a friend playing slots yesterday who usually bet with a small amount suddenly curious to bet with a large amount. which usually only bets 1$ per spin turned into being curious to bet 100$ once and what happened was that the 100$ spin got the miracle of getting the free spin feature. getting a win of 1270$ my friend hoped to get more than that win with full regret because the money factor that had been lost was not comparable to the return of the win that was obtained. and the next day my friend repeated the same thing hoping to bet 100$ to get another miracle but the results turned around

I meant rather such a state of the player as his psychological state close to gambling addiction. This is a state when he needs to get more money by any means in order to continue playing. By the way, few people give such a player a loan of money, since they know almost certainly that he will not return the loan.

When we are talking about a fun game in a friendly company, then of course in this case all this is just entertainment and a great pastime. Of course then borrowing some small money is natural and this naturally does not cause any negative consequences.
I myself like to gamble but if my friend borrows money from me with the excuse of gambling I will not lend it to him, I know gambling is risky but when done with self-control then it will be fine, but when the player dares to borrow money which is intended for gambling then it is certain that this kind of person is addicted. Because in my opinion people who gamble wisely will not do something like this.
Surely there are those who have borrowed money for the purpose of gambling whether it is a small or large amount, I myself have a friend who has worked but he has a large debt of up to millions because he is addicted to gambling, the worse thing is he even sells his assets but not to pay off the debt but instead gambles again on the grounds of being able to get a win that can cover all his losses and debts, that's bad.

Good decision for not letting them borrow your money since its like you are helping them to feed their addiction if you allow them to get some money and used it for gambling matters. There's a huge chance that they will also do the same to other people and this is how their life became miserable. So to avoid getting into risky situation it will be better to decline any favor they ask especially if they will not use it for any important matters.

Although for sure they will get upset when you decline, but for sure when they are in right mind and realize things that they are taking to gambling to much for sure they know that every decision like borrowing money for gambling is so bad actions that they made.

Bet types that used accumulated odds as I like to call it are the ones with the largest cash outs and if you check closely majority of big cash outs made with little initial stakes are usually pulled off with bets like this. That's because it's where you actually get the biggest odds but highest Risk too.
Of course Parlay bet is one of the most higher accumulating odds than single bet, most times single usually ends winning than parlay or multiple bets. Even if there seems to be higher odd in multiple bet it is always wise to use the amount we can afford lose to gamble, but pick an options we don't know about them gives us easier way to lose our game/match completely.

Single bet doesn't give cash out options because they are not many, but with Parlay you will have other running games while some of the matches has already ended then they the cash option would now appears for you to cash out, though this depends on the amount of game that has already tick Green before cashing out option could display and it also changes over the time.

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.
Yes that's true. It's always best to stick with what you understand most when gambling because that is how you would be able to effectively calculate your losses and manage your risks. Although we always discuss the fact that gambling is directly coined to luck , nevertheless the importance of experience too has to still be recognised.

No one suggests gambling using borrowed money, for example, we really like to gamble and are in a difficult financial situation and then a friend feels sorry for us and gives us borrowed money, even though it's not us who borrowed it directly, it doesn't mean we can gamble it, it's not the right thing to do. Even though there is a chance to win, it's unlikely and uncertain, but losing money is something that is certain to happen.
Borrowed or not, I myself am more comfortable gambling alone in a place I want, such as in my bedroom or in my work room, but occasionally I like to gamble with my friends, only not using borrowed money but using each other's money.
