Topic: Do you think you should stick to the options you know? - page 6. (Read 1802 times)
Even if you won in that bet still you didn't know the idea of how does it come, personally, it's not recommended to make a bet to a game you didn't know how it works because you will just possibly led your bets into a high-risk bet. I did something before when I was a newbie in sports betting which was having the +1.5 and -1.5 in odds so after I lose the bet that's the time I made a research how it works so now I can easily now take the risk if this bet option is reliable to my bet or not.
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..

To me this is not a mistake, it's normal for a bettor to try different selection options sometimes though not all options because most selection are very risky, so one will not be trying a risky selection just because he or she wants to try new things, with the littlevabkut bet, I believe that one may try new options and get lucky to win at the end of it all but as we already know what bet stands for, if we lose trying new options then that's it, after all bet has no certainty in it.
So sorry op for your loss but that's bet in reality, sometimes our decision while making selection of our bets deprives us winning but one thing is sure, we can't control some this things, unless we want to continue with our usual selection method but still non is sure what happens is that some selections are more likely to come as we predict them to be, the experience you got is common among bettors, many of us have experienced such and personally i see it as part of bet but for me, it will be better for us to go for options we are conversant with but whichever way that doesn't guarantee us wining a bet it only keeps us intact in doing what we already know.

Gambling can increase curiosity when we have never participated in other games or the stakes are much higher, If this is the first time trying a big bet but with unexpected results or winning big. The next day will try again because I am curious a second time. but different results and betting points make it increase. Without realizing it, they are tested by the dealers until they run out of money or become addicts
If that person don't have control, that will increase curiosity especially if he lose too much money. There will be a wanting to recover his lost money in gambling so that will makes him to playing gambling more often than usual. He will not thinks that will makes him in trouble.So when he usually use the same thing, he doesn't have to try something new in the casino instead learning for a while to know what he can do. That can prevent the curiosity become big and he will lose his control over gambling.
You are absolutely correct, learning such new strategy requires that you as an individual use small amount since it is a new thing you are learning so you do not make any mistake and even if you do, it would not bother you much because you used a little sum of money for it.
I also agree, when you're trying a new strategy then always do it with minimum amount to not lose everything you have. It's not about gambling only but about trading as well and that's the reason why most profitable traders are the ones who learn strategies first with minimum amount and when they master those strategies then they overtime increase the amount per trade. 
This is definitely the kind of mistake I don't make, because when I analyze the games before I place bets I check what market options the bookmaker is offering and then I do research on the advantages and disadvantages of that market. For example, if I analyze the game and see that the Asian handicap market has higher odds, then I research more about each option in the Asian market and only after that do I place a bet. Now, if someone is betting on an option that they don't know, then that person is not placing sports bets correctly.
Obviously, if you bet following some unfamiliar options that you weren't even thinking to choose, the result will only increase your rate of losing. You're lucky if your bets have won instead, but most of the time, they will only lead you to inevitable losses. That's the reason why you have to understand your options well before you decide risking your funds to bet.

When it comes to gambling itself, I can’t say it pushes your curiosity out of the gambling field.There are a lots of market out there on every gambling platform and you don’t really get to know them all. These in many occasions leads to having to exemplify most of the options for interpretation. That’s you being curious as to how that market works and most times, it’s always had to explain until you’ve experienced how it’s played and what makes a win or a loss in that market.
Sometimes, it is good to be dynamic and not remain static. Using a particular strategy for too long limits one from learning new strategies and that just keeps you within the confine of a particular level. Taking the risk in most cases would show us more ways to do things or a particular approach towards something. Maybe if you had also looked into trying that option, you could have learnt a new strategy and that could have aided in you winning the game. Even if you had loss the game, you still have learnt a new strategy to use and considering the fact that you did not use it and that option was a good one, you have learnt a new one. Maybe next time you could try various combined strategy to get a good result.
Of course, learning new things and strategies is necessary for a player to understand his capabilities, but I would not learn this by making a large bet from several bets. More precisely, I would do it for a very small amount to test and learn these things, perhaps even several times to consolidate the acquired knowledge of the new. Some players sometimes mistakenly or accidentally make a bet and can click the wrong button, but if this bet wins, they will only be happy about it, even without fully understanding it, and if they lose, they will think that they lost precisely because they clicked on a function they were not familiar with.

Sorry for your loss. Even if I want to try another option I know nothing about
I believe the first is to gather information about it because not doin is like jumping into a hole without knowing how dip it really is.
Advantage of knowledge and information when betting can be seen here.
But people usually say, if you don't try it, you will never know
But I believe it should go in hand with research.
Well, even with our winning bets, we do not know either that it will have a positive outcome. There's always uncertainty with gambling. But most of the time, if you bet with your know it all option, the winning rate is higher, compared to when you bet randomly and most likely losing it all. The key here is do not bet unless you know your option well. I believe the first is to gather information about it because not doin is like jumping into a hole without knowing how dip it really is.

There's nothing wrong though trying new ideas in your betting. I think where you got it wrong was not trying to understand what it was about first before placing it on your betting slip. You had a nice game, they all played out well but unfortunately just that single game cut your ticket. Though you would learn from this, but you should see to it that you understand the odds before playing them. For me I'll just rather use the ones I know before or understand so I don't change my strategy and end up losing..
Stick to your opinion as long as you're more convinced about it, there is nothing we can do than to first know our own personal self, develop the kind of confidence in what we give and then be able to relate with other alternatives around us, gambling in not what we can only apply a single approach for, we can take advise form others as well as their responsive suggestions when its time required of us to do so without hesitation and a time to refrain from such, all based on our decision and insight about what we know and what we are running after when gambling.
It's good to try out newer options in your bet, but then you'll be sure to perfectly understand the option to accertain if it really applies to the teams involved. You shouldn't try out an option because it looks convincing or with big odds when you don't even know the conditions it presents.
I rather go with the options I know so well and understand it's feasibility properly rather than a new option I don't really understand because it would be more painful to me that I win all games with familiar options and lost the one with an unfamiliar option. It would feel as though I intentionally denied myself a win.

I enjoy when I bet in my favorite sport and familiar betting lines because I have more knowledge in that.
If you only familiar with the sport without familiar in the betting lines, you might picked wrong bets.
If you not familiar with the sport, but you familiar with the betting lines, you will have no idea to know the strength and weakness from the both teams/players.

I prefer to stick to the options that I know well, but not necessarily because I think I will have a better winning percentage (although one would hope). I do it because I’m trying to bring more entertainment to something I already enjoy. If I’m not familiar with the sport and won’t be watching it, betting on it to me is pointless.
So, how would you know if you’ll enjoy it? 
There were also some sports I wasn’t familiar with before or just never been that interested but started getting interested just because I saw a lot of people betting on it. I didn’t bet on it immediately but instead I took the time to watch a game first and tried to see whether it’s something I will enjoy or not which eventually got me to betting now. Sometimes it’s even more enjoyable if I bet on a match so I try to be more open minded about the sports I could potentially watch.
But, most likely, bets on football matches stand apart here. This is a super popular sport and bets on it are beyond competition with other sports.
But with the rest, a player can probably switch from a passion for one sport to another, which becomes more interesting.

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.

I agree with you on this, until you use a particular option you might never understand it, trying something new gives you the opportunity to learn something new. You might be stuck with the same ideas you have if you don't try to expand them and gain more more knowledge. But one way to make sure that you play safe when trying to learn options you are not used to is to stake low, this can make you experiment freely to try and see what works and what doesn't. Sticking to one option cannot make you a profitable gambler, understand the options, explore and learn new things but if you think that what you know is best and profitable stick to it.
I can tell you from many years of experience in gambling that the best games are those that are most simple and don't involve any algorithm at all, all games that include an algorithm like slots, roulette, dice, plinko, blackjack, crash and many others will make you lose money almost every time you will play gambling. The best thing to do is to focus on simple games like sport betting and Poker which are games where skill is more relevant than any algorithms game that is found in those other type of games. I am not saying that you are going to win in such games but surely chances are higher there compared to algorithm run games, I also know that those algorithm run games like slot machine may make you hit a life time changing event like hitting an x100.000 multiplier yet again I will advice against them as most likely that won't happen to you.
It's better to stick with what you know sometimes to avoid complications but if you don't make use of other options and learn how they work you won't get skillful in what you know. Sports betting for example or basketball, there are lots of options that you can explore and know how they are been used, if you stick to a single option how do you intend to know how to make use of other ones. Learning and discovering new things is one way to get better at something and this can be applied in gambling, be open to know more and don't get stuck on a single thing. But when you are trying out something new you must avoid staking on it first, just observe and see how it goes.
