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.

Your sphere of knowledge is a very powerful thing in all areas of life, but it can lead to becoming too comfortable and even lazy when it comes to learning new things. Acquiring knowledge in new areas is a spice of life, but when it comes to potential financial loss in gambling we must tread carefully. If you are betting on a new game or sport, it's wise to start very small and slowly over a few weeks to gain experience as ramping up quickly can lead to big losses. You might not understand all the rules of the game (like in American football or horse racing) which can lead to unexpected defeats. If the odds look very appealing, it could be because you don't understand how to read them - for example horse racing odds can look amazing, but often end up with almost random outcomes.

Yes that was why I actually went very low with my staking amount to reduce the tention towards losing my money, however it's also encouragable to try out things on ourselves to understand how they functions correctly evening though we might seems not to have general knowledge about what it takes to know it about. And like I does I do regularly bet on games that I know just as you mentioned about horse racing which I am not a fan of it and I can't place bet on such games except I have someone very next to me whom will encourage and guide me through to understand all it takes about that particular sports.

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.

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.

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.

Yes this is why it's important to always make research and make appropriate inquiring about what we are doing. Like I know it should be that we always consults someone who knows and have knowledge on what we are going do than just jumping to what we don't know, even though we learn by trial methods it should be we having a pre-knowledge of what we are doing.
Yes, many people thought that learning on their own is quite necessary than going to someone or even phone them to know the things they are venturing into.

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.

- Of course, how will you know that the plan you have in mind is right if you don't stick to the plan you have. You need to stand up for and uphold the plans you have in mind,
because if you can prove that they are right, then you have a method that you can hold on to and that it is an effective method.

It seems like what you are doing is experimental, to see and discover if the plan that has been formed in your mind will help, right?

If I may ask, is it that you don't know what that option means before playing it or you knew already but just want to try it. I don't just bet using option I don't know what it means unless I want to play for fun or perhaps just risk the money else I don't play option I don't know. However, it is good to know a lot of options and in the processing of trying to use an unfamiliar option you don't know what it means, it is advisable to ask question or goggle out the meaning before playing it and I don't have a particular option I play all the time I use to play different options provided it seems convincing to me. Sorry for your loss anyways but try to use the option you knew unless you want to risk or gamble for fun.

People should be free to check new options, games, and anything that falls on their mind... the thing is that you don't test new stuff with the entire balance, you do it with some small amount. At least that's the smart way, but some people like to risk a lot.

You tried something different and lost this time, but that should not discourage you. Still, it's gambling and sometimes we lose sometimes we win. Just next time you try new things do it with a smaller part of your bankroll. It's nice to try new things and explore... sometimes we come across something nice & interesting, and sometimes we make a nice profit. Good luck.

By the way, sometimes it happens that the player thinks that by tapping some not very familiar option or just an option that he has never tried before, the result will be the same as the player himself came up with.
But in reality, the casino or bookmaker's devs provide for slightly modified actions or calculation results compared to what the player thinks. As a result of such insufficient information for the player, the probability of errors is extremely high. This is probably how this case, about which OP opened this topic, can be characterized.
In short, before you tap unfamiliar options, you need to carefully understand what results all this can lead to and figure out whether you need it.

In general casinos' games do have favorable options but the problem is that many gamblers can't make head or tail of it and ^{as the result} don't use them. I can understand those people as delving deeply into all those numerous rules takes some time ^{while they prefer the quick wins rather than careful study of all opts available for them}. I commonly stick to opts ^{I know via preliminary study} and prefer to take no chances trying those ones which are unfamiliar to me.

Seriously it's best to stick to what you know very well other than test running different options you ain't sure of, for me when I come across such options I prefer not to do more than myself but to indulge in what I know and see how the game plays on for me, yes certain times using same pattern at all times you might be pushed to try another method but then you ought to know the pattern very well.

It’s kinda strange op had to try something new without a research, I can actually do same first I must have learnt few information before choosing a new option. Let’s assume you won, you’ve tried something new and it worked perfectly fine that’s how all this work. I’m certain a lot of people will not try this mistake and it’s painful knowing the fact winning is guarantee if only you followed your instinct also when money is involved. Aside the game selection most casino odds are complicated and difficult to understand probably sticking with your old pattern is valid.

Knowing your options is always the best choice but if one doesn’t feel right, trying another is not a bad idea either. Honestly, in gambling, you need to stay balanced and think things through. Yes, we might rely on luck for us to win, but that doesn’t mean that we should act foolishly.

If our goal is to win, then we should do what is necessary to increase our chances rather than gambling blindly. Unless, of course, if we are gambling just for the sake of having fun. But for me, it is better to go with what feels right so there’s no room for regret in the end.

When something involves money, you are supposed to go with the option you know. That's preferable to taking other steps, you are not conversant with.

If that does happen(other steps) and you encounter a loss, what to hit on your mind is portion blame of oneself. You will question yourself as to why making the mistake of following steps you don't know much about that causes you a loss. What were you thinking, to make such mistakes?

It's what that doesn't involve money you can try other options for the testing stage, to see whether you can get it right.

I think the features in the game you booked is similar to the normal game, for me I think that what the option is narrating to is that the game you booked play a half time draw, because anything that has to do with GG is draw, but the indication is showing that you played a first half draw. In another hands you should try to understand that what you're supposed to do is to ask questions in some of the casinos platforms to know the rules and regulations of their platform before you book theirs game, because from the look of the screenshot you are close to win, but the thing is that you don't know the actual the one.

Do not do anything that you are not familiar with, you are risking your money therefore all the decisions that you should be taking should be what you know very well. There are times when I am gambling through sport betting and when I get showed some options that I do not understand, I prefer not to choose them but go with only the option that I know like both teams to score or which team is going to win. Those new options will have better odds to give you more profits and the casino are doing this on purpose to try and get you to fall for their tricks and this will make you to be in an unfamiliar situation. You can practice those unfamiliar options with less more or in demo accounts to get used to them before putting in your normal betting amount.

It looks like OP went with a gut feeling that match and for some reason chose a draw instead of going over/under like in all other bets and now ends up blaming that decision for the loss. In fact, it was not thet decision's fault. The result was unfortunate, but blaming that choice is like saying that if you stayed at home that day you wouldn't get into an accident, which is true, but we cannot know what will happen before it happens. We can't stay at home all day afraid that an accident might occur.

The decision to blame was whether you gamble or not. You made that choice and don't try to explain the loss with bet choices.

In my opinion it's always safer and better when you stick to what you know and play options that your familier with because betting on options that you're not familiar with is not advisable as it can lead to you lossing your game as you may not know what the option you're playing is all about so it's always good that you have a full knowledge of the option that your staking your money on
