Thats a rough one, man. You guys really missed it. On the other hand, as the old adage goes, "You miss 100% of the shots you dont take." You gambled, and while it didnt pay off this time, you'll be more prepared for the next one.

Bets can be compared to actual sporting events. Some days you win, some days you lose. Getting a perfect score isn't always the goal. What matters is how you get yourself up after falling down.

Try not to be overly critical of oneself. Perhaps a more helpful strategy would be to establish a betting limit and stick to it no matter what. In this way, you can avoid the temptation of including a potentially game-changing addition to your wager. Always keep in mind that the first step of a thousand (or in this case, bets) is the hardest. Don't give up, mate!

You are right about that, especially in football many surprises have happened, only in Qatar we can give a lot to talk about but here the important thing is to take into account a very technical analysis of the bases of the teams, how they are, what is their way of being, to obtain as much information as possible, which is difficult, but not impossible, however, we also have other tools, when they place bets, the bias can indicate something like what we call "indicator" in trading, but it is not entirely reliable, I have seen how statistics give a specific team the Winner. they fall and they are wrong

These may be the possible causes, I'm not sure but they are very likely, now in the long term, players or bettors should realize what their mistake is, if they focus a lot on their bets, be governed by feelings, by favorite teams, that also influences sports betting if they lose in the long term it is the bettor's duty to learn quickly what they are doing wrong, it is not good that they make a lot of mistakes because it is loss of money, and that is not what is sought, in the long term what is sought is to have a better development, understanding of sports to win constantly, and that the gains are minimal, the gains must always be greater than the losses, in every sense this is what should always be sought, that is why the technical aspects must always be worked on.

Betking is a local gambling site in my country, am not sure they are not the one that’s accused of being a scam site, Betking those not even accept crypto, it’s a local gambling site which the only currency that they do accept is fiat currency, you can easily deposit from your bank accounts and withdraw back to your bank account but they don’t accept cryptocurrency, so I think they won’t come to the forum here to market, any gambling site that will be marketing on the forum here will definitely be accepting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but if you only accept local currency, then am sure they won’t come to forum here, they will rather reach out to their people locally. That’s why I think the Betking that have been accused of scam here is different from the one which the OP placed his bet on.

Seeing that parlay and having that multiple winning bets in a row but ending up on disaster on the last bet just because you do go after on the odds on hitting up that target amount or winning on your mind then it did

really mess up the whole thing. Getting greedy on the time that you do gamble could really mess everything. In my case,then for sure i have been punching up the wall if im on that situation and you arent the only
one who had experienced this very disappointing loss.This would indeed a lesson learned on which never ever chase up something and always stick into those teams/players who do have better winning chance
and dont look at with those odds that would be able to hit up your winning target. Well, it cant really be just avoided that we would really be tending to look with those figures specially if we haven't
able to get a hold of in our entire life or experience here on gabling space.

Better luck next time brother! Dont make yourself greedy once again and you might be able to hit up huge wins on multiple bets or parlays.

For some $2 could be a lot. I was gambling in Ashes and then moved to India vs WI.

Started with 2mBTC. win-lose and this way continuing since both Test started. just few minutes ago I lost my patience and might be greed attack me too or maybe I am chasing the loss. I lost the bet of WI to score under 11.5 in 0 to 5 overs. Now since I lost it and actually tired of playing this way, I got two bets now and my balance is empty. India to Win and WI to score over 29.5 in 0 to 10 overs. May be India to win looks promising but WI scoring 16 more runs in 5 more over does not look good especially when WI is not in any hurry to score.

Several things drove me into this.
1. Losing patience
2. Chasing the loss
3. Greed

Thank you for the picture and the testimony bro, I think it's the first time I see such thing with such high odds to be honest, you managed to be unexpectedly lucky and unlucky at the same time. You could have been a big winner until this small one ruined it all. Could you tell us on which outcomes was your bets exactly? We see 1X double chance bets but we don't see the name of the teams.

Sportsbet is more known and appreciated here for sport bets IMO.

Is beer so expensive in Nigeria? I am in Georgia now, and I know some bars when beer still costs 2 GEL (0.8 USD). AFAIK, in Africa prices are even smaller. So, 2 USD may be quite big amount of money for rachael9385.

So, you bet $2?  That's supposed to be greed? I'd argue
Don't get me wrong, you had a great streak (apart from that 1 loss ) but the starting bet was so small that losing it is like nothing. Here, you can't even buy a beer at a bar for it.
Yes, you had a chance to win big and blew it, but think of it from a different perspective. At least you've barely lost any money, so don't get discouraged and keep doing your thing.

When gambling you don’t have to be greedy, the difference between 1.5 million and 1.3 million is just 200 thousand naira, you really made a very great and annoying mistake, I don’t really know what to say but your issue is beyond greed. You gambled with just 1700 naira with is approximately $2 currently and you are suppose to win $2,000k but you are not satisfied with that you wanted more, I don’t really know what you were thinking before you added the last match that spoil everything for you. I don’t know when you will be able to have this kind of opportunity again, when gambling we shouldn’t be greedy, we should always limit our expectation.

When some people are gambling, they will have the opportunity to cash out when they are winning and they are having few matches left to go, but they won’t do that, they will keep on having the believe that if they wait till all the matches are played they will be able to win their complete money which at the end, it’s only one match that’s going to spoil the bet and everything is gone, but the had the opportunity to withdraw maybe half or more than half of their win but they ignored it.

@OP stated that he had turned this $2.2  to more than $1.5k.  That is a huge amount for a developing country unless @OP is filthy rich this amount does not matter.  I can say @OP is lucky and skillful enough to baloone his bankroll for more than 500x but his greed does not know any bounds and lost them all.

I also have the same eperience where I tried to hit another winning amount target since I already hit my first target in the same session.  Alas, I depleted my bankroll without getting near the next target winnings.  It is indeed devastating if we let our greed run our game plan.

The story would have been different if you had won the 1.5M by adding the last prediction. Gambling is a win or lose activity and whatever comes our way when we have places our bet we should just accept it stead of making blames on addition or no addition.
I agree greed is not a good thing to have but at times our greed can make us win large amount when we're in our lucky period to have a win. Brace up and try again

And @knowngunman clearly stated that they are both different betting platforms; if you have looked carefully enough, you could have noticed the comment below.

This post seems more like an advertisement to this scam website/casino. I don't think so you understand what you are doing with this post (intentionally or unintentionally).
I wouldn't recommend you to do that. If this is unintentional, it's cool, if not, not cool bud.

The bet you are talking about was to convert $2 into $1800 i.e. 900x the bet amount. It's literally impossible and there is no need to be sad about it.

       -    Someone who commented here said that Betking is a  scam, and at this point, mate, you just lacked a little bit of patience with this casino. And as others have said here, 1700 naira is only a small dollar amount, but even so, as a gambler, having a greedy attitude should not be tolerated because you will only push us to lose in the end.

However, the important thing is that you have a lesson learned from your experience, mate, and as far as I can see, you are still trying to be a responsible gambler even though you know you made a mistake. And that's one of the good things you did I guess.

This opportunity will hardly come again even when you're a frequent gambler, don't hate yourself for making this decision because if you would had won you would had praise yourself for taking the decision to add more games. You didn't know other games will win but was only hoping.

Now that this has happened, I would advise you shouldn't disbelieve in yourself when you want to bet in the future about the games you choose, you we're not greedy because you didn't know you'll win the other games. Greediness comes when you have something already and not satisfied.

But you didn't have those money yet, it was only a possibility and also you could have lost it just as you did now. Don't chase after your loses, also learn to play smaller numbers of games. If you use more money for that game you could have won with lesser games selection.

Must I bet regularly or too often before you know that that's a small money for me?  lol that's funny, if am new to gambling doesn't mean I should bet regular, if I bet often or higher stake I will become an addict and you know that's bad, you are get it wrong bro.

This is sucks and I never thought that there’s a country with such salary per month. This is the price to pay when hyper inflation hits hard their country.

But on this case, OP country is Nigeria that has an average salary of 78K Naira per month. A 1400 Naira is not a big deal for a normal person from their country but again, the OP mention that he doesn’t bet often so I understand how this money very valuable to him.

Greed can cause loss, it’s true and it can cause too some profit if your greed is backed by luck.

How confident are you, that every win and loss of a gambling player, cannot be separated from the control of the gambling operator...!

Believe it or not, every game on the online gambling list has control, to bet online, your really have to control yourself when you win, if you put forward emotions, ambition, of course greed accompanies you and in the end the story of regret and drowning in defeat.

Whatever, what OP has experienced is almost the average experience by gamblers, I have also experienced something like that, after I understand how online casinos work, that's when I realized and I had to control myself not to be greedy, so as not to experience a succession of defeats after the first victory.

Don't try to repeat the bet after you win big, you'll regret it, let alone want to try your second luck by placing big money.

I think from greed no one has achieved good things in life and this is especially even more true in gambling.Greed just tells us to keep playing and after we have lost a sport bet it tells us that we should find some big odds to parlay them together so we can win big and recover everything.

Unfortunately it is not that easy,usually when we chase lost amount of money after a sport bet or a slot session chances are high that if we continue directly after such loss to play in order to recover the lost amount,99.99% of the times we will lose even this additional amount,it is always best practice to place sport bets in complete quietness as for slots we can't do anything.

Imagine, you are indeed a risk taker, visual betting is one of the worst betting I have ever seen. As you can within 30 minutes spend all your entire funds by just playing some games, even when you win few before you know it you will spend all at one's by just wagering more. 
Sorry Mate, you should try and avoid visual betting sometimes, it has the highest population of making the company Rich and drying gamblers pocket.
