You are completely off point dude, I can't believe you wrote this long piece and none of the things you said made any sense as it does not relate to what op was talking about.

I will try to explain a bit to you, as you can see in the screenshot he shared, according to op, he was choosing games for this parley bet, having made a choice in all of the sports he was familiar with, he decided to add one game from sports he was no really familiar with (for example, it's like someone who doesn't watch table tennis games, but decided to bet on an ongoing table tennis match, it will be difficult to know the right team that will possibly win the game; and bet on them).

At the end, it was the game from the sports that op isn't familier with that ruined his parley ticket, every other bet won except that one, and this is why op is advicing us all to always and only stick to sports games we are familiar with when betting.

And you have to be this rude to explain it to me, because you feel I’m a junior rank member you can talk anyhow. I read the post and I see it from a different perspective, there are other high rank members who also see it from the same perspective as mine, you didn’t say anything to them because they are of high rank. You making it look like I’m shit posting. When you want to correct someone next time, don’t be rude to them regardless of whatsoever rank you think you are.

And when you check the picture again, even from the OP explanation you can see that game was the only game with a complicated option, even me didn't understand the option, i also had to check information about the option and you telling me I wrote this long with no meaning. That very rude of you.

Lol, don't be ridiculous man, who was talking about your rank?, did you read me mention your rank in my comment? I understand that low ranked members are quick to point to their rank as the reason why they are being corrected when ever they make a mistake, but please try not to be one of those because rank had nothing to do with me deciding to correct your misconception.

And you say there were other high ranking members that read the op and commented from the same perspective as yours, please point me to their comments, forgive me but I saw none of those except yours, and it's the reason why I decide to correct you.

But any ways, I am not a trouble maker and neither do I have time to banter words with anybody including you, so, I will apologize for approaching you in a manner that made you think or assume was rude, I wasn't being rude to you, but sorry if you think I was.

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.

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.

For some other persons its an adventure and the others they do get Lucky trying and exploring new options so i believe for those how get lucky, they could stick to that pattern of gambling and for those who aren't, it will be best to avoid it and stick to that which you know

Agree. As most of the time things will end that bad when we try to take the risk of using unfamiliar strategy, league or anything that is not on your bias or you don't know about and this happened a lot to me before when I was gambling and maybe all of us experienced this even once that leads us to losing our bets.

That's also correct: using unfamiliar strategies means we don't know how the games are going to play out. What we are predicting that will happen at the end of the match is only by luck, chance, or coincidence that such a game can play in the gambler's favour, and if such happens, maybe they can begin to learn that strategy from there.

If the options you have been playing gives you the win rate you desire on average, why will you want to jettison it for something you are experimenting? Gambling is all about finding what works and following it religiously. Personally, I play more on goals in selected teams and this gives me the win rate I want even though it is not always 100% accurate. What I look at is average and I don't chase 100% accuracy. Any option that gives me 70% success rate is enough for me because one win can cover four losses.

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.

from understanding in the gambling, theirs no gambling that's has to do with skill, its clean that gambling is all about risk and nothing you can know about gambling that will make you to win, gambling is gambling and its all about risks, so gambling is not by skill I'm disputing the fact that gambling is not all about skill, if winning gambling is all about skill many people would have acquired such skill and many people wouldn't have complained about series of losing in gambling, have you calm down and calculate people who complained of losing of gambling and people who jubilate of gambling winning before.

I think what we need to have is proper knowledge on the games we played since its crazy that we gamble without knowing what we are doing since this one will lead to a massive loss. This is the reason that even though gambling is all random especially for the result shown we still need to know what's going on so that we could possibly do some counter action to possibly at least increase our chance to win.

Skill is knowledge in gambling and you need to be good on analyzation to possibly predict the next outcome. But if you talk about slot games for sure with this game you cannot expect anything that will work in favor to you since for sure that everyone agree that everything in that game is random.

I agree with your mindset. It's true that every time an exam comes, it doesn't mean there's a problem, but it can be a teacher's experience, so that we can be wiser in betting. but not everyone can accept the test of problems. they consider the test of problems to be the chaos of life. Actually behind all problems there is good wisdom for us if we want to change. In fact, the gambling experience is always considered difficult even though logically we can compare between betting well and wisely so that it is under control. but they mostly prioritize selfishness

You also right that some people can not accept the test of problems because they are not confident with that so they choose to run away from the matter. But some other will think that matter can give them more experience about a new thing so they willing to try it without think about the result. It is no problem to try a new thing especially in gambling but we must always remember that we need to control ourselves so we don't lose too much. That will not worth to do because we spend the money without control and that can make us frustrate seeing the outcome. We should also control our selfishness not becoming big because that can also make us in trouble.

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.

Well, you may never use a particular option if you don't try it all. Your mistake was trying this new option without getting a better idea of what the outcome might be. That by the way though. Sorry or your loss in today's game, there will be next time for you to avoid such options and stick to what works for you. It was obvious that you would have won the bet if not for the little trial you did.

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.

Even though it might seems hard most times for us to try another option but yeah it might end up suiting our risk profile, that is to say we can try other opinions at some point, personally I usually derive more comfort on playing win or draw and later on over 1.5 goals becomes my second options and I will keep trying other options, perhaps it is just for fun and nothing more. However trying other options can as well lead us in to getting to know the existence of other options, considering the fact that sticking to options doesn't guarantee winning all the time, hence there is a reason for trying other options.

I think you are right trying a different option can be somehow at times but it is good to be conversant with different options in gambling so as to enable one choose an option that seems to be a favorable one in a particular game. Win or draw and over 1.5 goal can be a very nice option sometimes depending on the game but the issues is that sometimes the odd are always very small and me personally I don't like playing small odd because It annoys me when a small odd cut my ticket though win or draw and over 1.5 goal was my best option some time ago but right now I use to try options like handicap, away win either half or home win either half, away team to score 1 or home team to score 1 and it has been a nice one. Sticking to a particular option is not good.

Quote from: Jody.Drummer on December 25, 2024, 11:33:39 PM

Indeed, we ourselves determine everything, including the steps we will take, it should be noted that when we gamble and there are other people around us, then that person will open his mouth by giving criticism or suggestions as well as advice depending on his views on gambling and actually we should be able to listen to that person if he gives advice but if indeed with the criticism he said then ignoring it is not a problem, unless we gamble with borrowed money then the criticism issued must be accepted because it is wrong to gamble with borrowed money.
The behavior that leads to continue gambling is from self-motivation not with other people, maybe with a friend who also likes to gamble he will suggest to continue gambling but before that it comes back to us who do have full control for the next step.

I think that you should never gamble when your friend or just a person who lent you money to play is nearby. Firstly, this makes the player a little constrained in his decisions, which usually leads to losses, well, as a rule, this is so. And also, such a game also has a bad effect on your friend who lent you the money, because he will see that you lost and will think that he will have to wait an unknown amount of time for the return of this debt.
So, having borrowed money, it is worth playing either alone or without such a person who gave you money to play. When it is possible, of course. And if it is impossible, then it is better not to gamble at all and not to borrow.

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.

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 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.

Well, you may never use a particular option if you don't try it all.

Why change a winning team? Why would anyone want to risk a new thing if they're recording wins with what they've already? That's what I would say. This is because I've a different disposition to the whole idea of trying new things if it involves money that I can lose. I may want to try new stuff but that won't have to involve betting money on it. That's unmitigated risk. People don't grow rich by being reckless with their finances.

Even with sports betting, at times the outcome used to be unpredictable. However, with better knowledge about the particular game and matches, the winning probability can be increased. When we go with unknown options, it is the same as choosing a random game/match and picking the odds in the same manner. This doesn't bring any result as we expect. The outcome used to be completely on our luck. Op could've tried the options in a single bet. If so, he couldn't have experienced such a loss from a single event's result in a miltibet. Anyhow, this is a learning experience for the OP as well as the forum members who have been following the thread. If not, while going with multibets, it is good to limit the spending so that even if the bets were lost, it won't hurt.

Well, atleast you know now what not to try anymore Grin

If I were in your place I wouldn't have tried something new while I am winning the bets with what options I already know.
If I were on the losing side then I would have surely tried something new just to try out my luck though.

Gambling being a game of trial and error, especially in options that you are not used to, I think the autor should not feel bad about it. I also noticed that the author used low stakes, which means he already had the idea that he might not win. Otherwise, he would have staked with a bigger amount. It's not bad to try something different that you've not tried because that's how you learn about it, and you might just be lucky since we are dealing with a game of luck here.

However, if you're too scared to try, then you can stick to what you know and maybe use a higher amount to stake. I don't have issues with trying new games, most times, of course, it cuts. Because I'm new to it, even if I would have played it better I didn't know how to at the beginning point, but it's worth trying because it helps in discovery and also building experience. That way, you can be able to tell somebody, "This works," or "You can try playing this game." By trying different things and games you keep building your gambling experience.

You are right, I also did some experiments with the options that I don't usually use. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't. When we use the options that we don't usually use then we will only put luck on the bets that we make.
There is nothing wrong with this, but as you said using a smaller amount to bet is a wiser choice than forcing one to bet bigger. If not, using the bets that we usually use is the safe choice even though everything is also not free from luck.

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.

Interesting on how it opens you to another category and I know very well that trying new options can as well let you understand how things are done differently in different Casinos but I rather prefer to stick to the options I know very well cause it gives me some limits to losses cause sometimes having multiple choices or options will keep you in the verge of loosing more when you can always stick to what you know best.

It really bad that you lost your bet and the most painful thing is that you lost it to an option you don’t really understand. But in every casino bookie, been it local casino or not there is this information icon at the top of every option, when you click it, it will explain the option to you. So maybe you didn’t see the icon or you forget to click it, judging by your picture it shows you are using SportyBet. Check well you will see and icon with a small letter i, when you click it you will see all the information you need to know about the option you are about to choose.

All bookies do have that icon, just for scenarios like this, a lot of people have complained about this so that what they made that possible. Just incase you click the Icon and you still don’t understand it then I guess it better to stick to the option you know.
