yes
Yes, I was amused by the question. It's happened to me once or twice, betting in anger and at that very moment getting lucky and winning a big win. At that point I got over my anger and stopped betting, leaving with the money.
Gambling is meant for fun, I do anticipate in gambling just to gain extra money for my wants, additional usage for my pocket. Betting with rage is never a good technique to make money from gambling, and it is likely that you will suffer significant losses from the system at such time. I've seen it happen to my colleagues, converting their rage into gambling and resulting in severe financial loss. When one is furious over something, it is never a sensible option to gamble in an unstable frame of mind. When I feel annoyed, I instantly quit gaming and go home to clear my mind with recreational activities.

When we play, it is very difficult to control emotions, as I have said before, if we could control emotions, I think that there would not be so many problems of arterial hypertension caused by emotional things, <...> the same adrenaline that the casino produces in us makes us more invincible, and makes us make very risky bets where we can being left with nothing, and that is what should be avoided in a casino, be it physical or online.

That is the problem that perfect gambling would be perfectly rational, and that is impossible, because apart from being rational we are emotional beings. The point is above all to try to control as far as possible that these episodes do not happen to you too much and that when they do they do not leave a significant hole in your finances.
What can be done is something very simple, allocate the money to lose, and no more from there and play as you like, of course it is not that you do a martingale and goodbye to money in a short time, which I always advise in measure The fun is that minimum bets are made, this so that the balance stretches as much as possible, and also to have a total understanding of the game. For me it is the only way to interact with money + emotions, of course these recommendations are so that the subject of emotions can be discussed longer and have greater pleasure, and if the person seeks to gain, which is what is very normal, it can be done as long as the balance destined to play is respected.

Who said it? Never heard anyone yet. There are services that I sometimes see about betting. They can promise guaranteed profits but I always have a big doubt about them. They might only be a scam and if it's true, I don't think they will have the time to open up a service like that but they will only be busy making money and spending it. There are professional gamblers.

I think they are the ones who gambles without risks because they are only being hired. Win or lose, they are still being paid with a huge amount but they always try best to win. Winning or losing is one of the elements to have fun in gambling because if it's only about winning then there is no more thrill about it. It'll now become boring but maybe not for those aim is to profit.
Are you going to believe in such a service and are you sure that you can really get guaranteed profits?
Honestly if I myself would never trust it and use a service like that.
Even though they provide guarantees but it is necessary to underline that no one can beat the house edge and that kind of service in my opinion is just bulshit.

Do you mean betting jockey?
I'm not sure there are still gamblers who use jockeys to place bets, moreover someone has to pay for the jockey even if the bet results are lost.
It's like a joke.

Most of the time the underdogs will lose or the upset won't happen. However usually the weaker team who is more likely to lose have a good odds.
It really depends if you want to take risk with your money and bet on a weaker side. If you do so, 70 to 80% chance that you will lose the bet but if you are lucky to win the bet, then you will get nice profits due to high odds.

It depends on the odds to determine how underdog the team is. I aways bet on the underdog on MLB if the odds are ranging from 2.4 to 3.0 because the chance of upset on this game is very high since a hit and pitch is very hard to become consistent so every team has a chance to win with just a little bit of good conditioning, unlike basketball and e-sports which the team can control the game from the start to the end. In baseball, It's very hard to find the right spot to get the rhythm of the game.

About this, I've got a back-to-back win on an underdog bet for Miami on Game 7 against Boston and Game 2 against the Nuggets. I think Miami will lose in Game 3 so I will skip again and root for game 4.

I had some bets before like that, but since they were underdogs I only wagered few bucks, the odds were really good but it'll be a huge lost if I placed higher, that's why I decided to play it safe with lowering the risk.
I did these bets maybe only for around 10 matches. The result were even for me, which is better than I expected.

It makes sense because usually when there are gamblers who bet on the underdog's team or athletes just to try their luck not because they have the belief that the bet will give a profit because they win, and that's still fun because for example we only bet $ 2 on a weak team at odds of 5.00 or above and winning can already give the same result as we bet $ 5 at odds of 2.00. The money we use will be smaller because the risk is big to lose is different from betting on the favorite because there is a big enough chance to win but actually all bets are at risk for us to lose, even when we bet at odds below 1.10 the risk is still there because unexpected results are often happening, like what happened at last year's World Cup or also matches in the league, but if you can win when you bet on something weak it's great fun and sometimes makes us not believe it's happening.

Most of the time the underdogs will lose or the upset won't happen. However usually the weaker team who is more likely to lose have a good odds.

I've seen many games in which there were comebacks in the final minutes, and I've asked myself many times if there were people who watched soccer games to bet on the final minutes because they believed there would be a turnaround, but when I think about it, then these people who what they do is relying on luck, what they do is the same thing as buying lottery tickets and waiting to win if they hit the jackpot, there are few games where there are twists, but when there are twists the odds are very high, but even if the odds are very high in the end, it doesn't pay to keep making this type of bets

for example if a person is watching 10 soccer games waiting for an opportunity to hit a chance of some game to have a turnaround, is that person able to lose in the 10 games, and then bet on another 10 games and lose again, and when he hits it does not it will pay off, and when the person continues to play he will be losing even more, in my opinion it is better for the person to place bets normally and not enter this type of bets that will depend a lot on luck to get it right. something funny is that in the beginning when I started to make sports bets I lost a lot so I started to bet when the game only had 10 minutes left to end, I bet on the team that was winning the game, but even so I lost a lot and gave up do that
I understand what you're saying, did Real Madrid not play those games by chance?because Ancelotti used to put his Entire arsenal at the end of the game,which seemed like a rather risky strategy to me and it worked for him, of course, because he is doing that, I think he is losing the League very Badly at the moment, however I am not in favor of someone making bets like that , and although the probabilities may indicate that they are minimal if it is possible that it could Happen, then since everything is possible it is a risk, it would be good if the Bookmakers could have those options, if there are 5 minutes left of a fútbol match they could give that option.


today there was a game where people who like to place this type of bets must have managed to get big profits, I'm talking about the bayern game against Leipzig, the odds before the game started were @1.50 for bayern and @4.50 for Leipzig and then bayern scored first and I believe that if my memory serves me correctly the odds were at @1.22 for bayern and more than @13.00 for leipzig, that means that if someone bet on leipzig to win even seeing that bayern was winning the game so this person made a good profit and of course this can't even be considered sports betting anymore, all the person would be doing is playing the lottery, because the person is guessing the result

in my opinion this is not something people should do because there are dozens of games so how are people going to choose which games to do this? Will people risk betting on all games? in terms of long-term profit it is not something viable, I hope that nobody does that, at least if the person loves their money then they won't do that, in today's case I very much doubt that there are many people who have taken the risk of betting on leipzig after bayern scored a goal, i doubt it very much. this is the problem with this type of bet, the person doesn't even know if he can get it right by putting money on the team where he has no chance of winning the game
If I understand that position, it is very common for something like this to happen, especially in the Bundesliga which is now so interesting, personally I think that this is one of the leagues that lends itself the most to making this type of bet, also in the 2nd The Bundesliga is what can make the difference, in the 2nd Bundesliga things Happen like this , of course only for those of us who are up to date with this competition we know that it is very exciting and I always give it as an example for this type of case , but now as it is I know that the Bundesliga Movies are like that.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
I did it a number of times when betting on UFC. It's especially profitable when you bet against a champion of a division, or against a fighter with a perfect record. I've once did that at an event. I had $100 to bet and divided it into equal parts and bet it all against all the underdogs that were to fight that night and I've actually made some money despite losing most of my bets.
If you haven't tried it, instead of making 2 bets with favorable odds, try making 6-8 smaller ones against the odds and see how you do.

Gambling is always taking risks and if someone says they gamble without risk then I can assure you he is not gambling and he is not a gambler.
Winning or losing is of secondary importance because the most important thing is that we can enjoy every game or betting session so that we get pleasure and even satisfaction, but there are many gamblers who only chase victory.
I agree with @Eureka_07 in that he plays it safe and doesn't want to overdo it to take risks just for an underdog win.
Maybe we can use this as a reference for the future if we are going to bet on the same odds as experienced by @Eureka_07.

That is why we must always have or maintain emotions when playing gambling because we will definitely encounter situations that can provoke emotions and these can escalate if we lose self-control. I don't know if drinking alcoholic beverages can give anything but what I know, it can make us forget and just want to have fun but we can also cause trouble because we have already lost. The adrenaline rush will rise, so will the emotion and if that is the case, it will only be a matter of time to see we will end up losing completely. That is the biggest risk we will face when gambling and we must overcome it so that we don't lose large amounts of money.
Your take on emotions dancing with the gambling dice? Spot-on. Yet, let's not mince words. It's not just about keeping emotions on a leash; we need to decode them, get into their heads. Emotions in gambling, like a big-time high-stakes gig, can be as two-faced as a double-headed coin: providing joy while flirting with peril if they get a bit too wild.

Now, the booze factor, it's a head-scratcher. Could it be seen as a turbo-charger of the whole gambling circus? Still, there's the flip side: Its numbing effects might actually water down our ability to play it smart. "In vino veritas" is the adage – truth in wine, but do we want these tipsy truths to play out on the gambling floor?

The rush, the thrill, the sense of being a world-beater – all part of the gambling razzle-dazzle. Still, wouldn't it make sense to shine a spotlight on these bits, school folks a bit more, to help them play their hand better in the gambling game?

it's in our human nature to become irrational most of the time.  That is why those who bet against their own instinct to survive and think in a way that is not ordinary also make unordinary positive results. Because they don't let their gambling be influenced by their emotions. They treat it like a business.  Every bet is a business transaction. One could either work or it won't. They make their losers small and their wins run higher.

The result of every bet won't be 100% win, but every bet should be 100% in their control from the game that they are betting until how they will manage their money and the risk involved.

It's really a wrong move to put your emotions the moment you start gambling. Emotions usually cloud our judgment and our decision making skills. Hence, it's best to put and let your brain take over you rather than following your heart's irrational desire to bet on your favorite team or player over the most substantial bet. But just take it as a lesson learned for you so that you won't make the same mistake again. It's okay to test the waters and just follow what's best the next time around for your advantage. At least now, you knew that it will cost you if you will be foolish in deciding.
In playing gambling, we should not use emotions because it will make us unable to calm down in analyzing and tend to follow our emotions at that time. If you bet on sports betting, you can analyze wrongly and in the end, you will also be wrong in choosing the team or player. And if it is a casino game, you could be wrong in checking the amount of the bet you want and you could make the wrong bet. It has happened to many people and they have suffered losses.

We can only learn from experience and try not to repeat it. But even if we make another mistake, that doesn't mean we don't learn because this time's mistake is different from the previous one so we can learn more.
When we play, it is very difficult to control emotions, as I have said before, if we could control emotions, I think that there would not be so many problems of arterial hypertension caused by emotional things, and that is something that we all see, we know, and in A casino disinhibits us more, if we are drinking alcoholic beverages it is more the impression, because apart from the fact that our senses are more sharpened, the same adrenaline that the casino produces in us makes us more invincible, and makes us make very risky bets where we can being left with nothing, and that is what should be avoided in a casino, be it physical or online.

Have you bet on the underdogs and won?

No, this doesn't work for me, or maybe am yet to discover more about myself that there's a potential in it, maybe one day giving a trial could make me feel the same thing others felt about making an upset bet, but the things most gamblers considers in this kind of attempts is the risk and probability of winning, some may require much high amount to use as stake, depending on the casino used or those involved.

How many times you did this?

Maybe upto four times if i can remember but over years now.

And what made you bet on the underdogs is it because of insider tips or just an insight based on your analysis?

One is from insider tips and the others were just from random guess and  from my friends to give a try that this is how some end hitting a jackpot.

Your level of risk when betting for underdogs in the hope of winning by upsets?

Yes, it does, definitely.

It makes sense because usually when there are gamblers who bet on the underdog's team or athletes just to try their luck not because they have the belief that the bet will give a profit because they win, and that's still fun because for example we only bet $ 2 on a weak team at odds of 5.00 or above and winning can already give the same result as we bet $ 5 at odds of 2.00. The money we use will be smaller because the risk is big to lose is different from betting on the favorite because there is a big enough chance to win but actually all bets are at risk for us to lose, even when we bet at odds below 1.10 the risk is still there because unexpected results are often happening, like what happened at last year's World Cup or also matches in the league, but if you can win when you bet on something weak it's great fun and sometimes makes us not believe it's happening.

It must take a lot of convincing yourself to bet for that underdog as I did try justify that Ryan Garcia is going to win over Gervonta Davis all be cause he has speed and long reach advantage. The rest of the users in the thread says Davis is certain to win and I'm just going against it.

A $20 bet could win can triple the amount unfortunately its a loss. The convincing is probably not good when the bookmakers already decided the gap of the odds.

It's certainly something that you might have seen at the moment that you thought would be a key thing. There are a lot of things that I thought would have change the outcome of the fight, but the thing is, if the oddsmakers already decided that huge of a gap, then there's something they know that we don't, and their models are really leaning towards whoever the favorite is and there is very little to almost no question about the winner of that fight. But yeah, it's still fine to bet low on these types of matches with that huge of a gap between the favorite and the underdog. It happens so much in Korean baseball and a lot of people in the know are cashing out good money on that sport.

You are definitely right on this one on which it is really hard to convince yourself in going into that moneyline or into that favorite going against or betting on the other side. Odds are indeed good to look at if you do make out some calculations on your potential win. You would already be imagining about your payout if ever you would be able to hit it up. It is one of the factors on why you would really be having that kind of interest on betting into the other side or into that underdog because of the odds but in common sense manner on which there are lots of considerations on taking up such decision because some would really be having that kind of what if's into their minds and this would really be pushing them to bet even if they do know the chances are really that slim.

Upsets are rare and profitable and not everyone has the courage to take a risk and bet on the underdogs, but those who do are rewarded with huge profits.

So I'd like to ask

Have you bet on the underdogs and won?

How many times you did this?

And what made you bet on the underdogs is it because of insider tips or just an insight based on your analysis?

Your level of risk when betting for underdogs in the hope of winning by upsets?






I love going for the underdogs , even in sports that i love mostly i bet against the advantageous team and this is why i mostly losing but of course like what you said? when there is a winning then huge odds i got.


I had some bets before like that, but since they were underdogs I only wagered few bucks, the odds were really good but it'll be a huge lost if I placed higher, that's why I decided to play it safe with lowering the risk.

I generally prefer sports betting. So I sometimes pick underdog football teams to make high amount of profits. Well fun part of it being very risky. When you are able to win through combination of underdogs with high odds, your profit increases a lot more than usual betting. I personally experienced winning in such way. I think in football its pretty much possible lower rank teams beating higher rank ones in their good performing days. But you should pick matches very carefully im my opinion.
Many of us prefer sports betting because it's known to be more profitable than the casino games. That is due to the fact that we can analyze the players statistics and improve our winning rate. There are people who analyze casino games well but it has no effect as the results are still random.

If you want to make a high amount of profit in a much surer way, why not bet more money in the teams that you think has an advantage to win? Lots of players are choosing this path than risking low amounts for higher odds which can still be money and time consuming. Being very risky is not fun, but being too unpredictable can sometimes make the game exciting especially if you don't mind winning.

Count me in. I won't deny that gambling has been my idea of past time since then and I've been playing with some card games that involves analyzation with some of my close friends sometimes but most of the time, I'm with sports betting because other than the fact that it's giving me the thrill and entertainment that I wanted, I'm somehow confident as well that my made bets are close from winning because I did some analysis compared if we play in some casual casinos where most of the games are just pure luck, fast money as always and doesn't really give me the thrill while playing.
Thats how gambling should really be treated up on the first place on which it is really a past time and whatever you would really be tending to do so then its up to you whether you would bet on the favorite or would be going into that underdog. Basing up on real experience then i do have several experiences about those upsets that make me win up and this is only to those bets which arent taken that seriously.
But it did really turn out to be a win which i didnt really expect but honestly it is really a bet which had been applied with some analysis into it and presume or assume out that there would
be some possible comeback.
