Topic: I am new here. What is your strategy on gambling? - page 3. (Read 470 times)

Well, no matter how it's being twisted, gambling is what it is and remains a game of probability. Personally, my strategy to sports betting is to look through the league table, visit highlights of past matches that I missed and listen to any latest happening or sports event, look for changes in club and also finds out players that will be involved in the team I want to bet on.  This strategy can make you stand a better chance of making a good prediction but doesn't guarantee that you will win always, that's why gambling is a game of probability.

Believe it or not, there's no strategy in chance based games.
If you fall into this paradigm, things aren't going to go that well. Chances are you will lose everything if you keep playing. The house edge is just there to get everyone that just keeps rolling.

But in the long run the vast majority of players are losers. So don't count in any strategy. Just play for fun with amounts you don't mind to lose.

There's no process whatsoever... I don't even wanna describe it from that perspective cus that gives you some certainty and sense of control... Ain't nothing in your control when it comes to gambling. The closest possible things you can do, that'd give you an edge over a rookie is applying patterns and strategies - one of which is quitting if your accumulated loss is more than your bankroll.

You do? I suppose you know these things already.... Best approach on sport betting would be studying a team's gameplay, position and league. All thanks to an accumulated series for proper comparison -- the head-to-head. I also love checking out to see how other gamblers predict on the same game - if their patterns looks convincing, I'll make a combo and it works mostimes.

That's what you call recreational gambling. Yeah, I also have that kind of strategy, let's say in NBA betting, every night there are a lot of games, so it's better to just choose one and don't over do it. I know that there are gamblers who bet on multi-leg or parlay and try to hit a bigger odds, but it's very difficult.

So it's just better to stick on one game that you have a higher chance of winning. It's hard not to be greedy though, but you have to control yourself and manage everything. And if I may add, Bitcoin is the verge of hitting $100k, so it's better to use other crypto and preserve on hold our Bitcoin.

Over the years I have been gambling, from experience I record more success and winnings when I reduced the numbers of games on each of my bet tickets and decided to pursue accuracy than odds, I try to make sure I'm picking a very possible even that is likely to take place in every games I pick without having to bother so much about the odds, as that will increase my confidence to get a good staking power and make money of the stakes rather than waiting for multiple accumulation of odds on which I will place small stakes with almost no chances of winning, pursue accuracy and I believe you get a better chance.

You have already stated it here that there is no scientific methods that can fully predict sports outcomes because the outcome of any sports event is due to some factors which are most times beyond anyone's control. Sometimes, when we think we have the history of this sport at our finger tips, certain situations like weather condition and injuries can ruin everything. Yea, knowledge about the sport is not just enough and this is what makes sports betting unpredictable and interesting. This is why the best approach is to gamble with amounts we can afford to lose, because no matter what the outcome may be, the bookmakers have nothing to lose and we need to protect ourselves not to lose much if that be the case.

That is a good strategy mate. You bet less, you lose less as well. As long as you don’t gamble with emotions and instill discipline all throughout gambling, rest assured you can manage your bankroll well.

More than that, once I gamble, I also make sure that I’m not gambling the funds intended to pay my bills. Because if you tolerate that kind of practice even a small amount, once you start losing, believe me you will eventually lose all of your funds, because you gamble not on your extra money.

What kind of expectation are you waiting for other communities to say that will discuss the topic that you have made this OP?
I wonder if strategy is really required for our gamblers.

How is a gambler lucky in what he can win by playing gambling here in the crypto business of the gambling section? Because in our time at the moment  winning in gambljng casino is always depend on luck most often, isn't

Even if they uses that kind of algorithm, you can't be guaranteed that they will not lost though. Same with gamblers here, we have our own analysis, or even uses our believes and gut feeling on choosing who to bet.


Again, there is no one size fits all strategy for sports betting, it will boils down to your analysis. There could be some bettors who look for tips as we have a thread like NBA betting. Or we just listen to our gut feeling. Or again, base on our own analysis, we might not follow what the punters listed in their odds and go wit the underdog. And there are gamblers as well who bet on the underdogs more often because of the huge odds.

Nice to hear that, that is true if you don't enjoy something obviously you aren't going to do it.


Yes I already said it:



Nice strategy maybe i am going to use it.

I really like a lot of all the opinions that all the users give most users agree on enjoy gambling and it looks like not begin forced in any way, stick to some budget makes a lot of sense, as long it don't represent a high percentage of your income looks like a good strategy.


Exactly as many of you said you need to enjoy what you doing in first place.

Everybody have their own or quite similar strategy. Since I'm kinda risk averse, I don't place bet on clubs I'm not familiar with
And also don't pursue huge odds but games that can be relatively easier to predict statically.
For example I don't place bets on Chelsea's match except against Manchester United or City
Which I'm well aware they would either loss or draw.
I love betting in Favour of Real Madrid and Bars especially after doin research on forms, Line up and Head to head.

In summary I don't bet too much and do it more as a thrill.

Prediction basically means a guess with some basis behind it, so nothing is really working "fully" when it comes predicting the outcome.
Now, those odds set by bookmakers are mostly very enticing for the bettors. Whatever the outcome is, they will going to get profit most of the time as there are always who bets on both ends of the odds.
Best approach to get a good percentage of winning in sports betting? Well, I can say experience and knowledge towards the league you're interested in putting the bets to.

I pretty much follow the same thing lol. Bookies use it in the first place because it makes sense and follows logical data that has been presented, so no reason to avoid it. Of course the spontaneousness of players can make those results negligible at times, but for the most part they can be used 99% of the time. I've done this a lot of times in various eSports tournaments that I've watched, and I usually profit off of them. Yes, there are some misses but hey, if there are a lot more hits then more than worth it no?

Back in the past, I did high-odd games instead though. Back in those cases I'd usually just bet on one or two matches instead, maybe even parlay if I'm confident for multiple matches. In those cases my strategy was just to bet big since one big win could offset my losses .

Gambling strategy differs, if I start giving my strategy it might sound off and out of the target basically we all have different view. When it has to do with sport betting I go for little teams because from my view they have the ability to draw or win depending on how I set the game, it has been my choice ever since I noticed and for someone who love football games will tell you why you should not put all your eggs in one basket meaning big teams, secondly take much time choosing your games aside from this I usually go for little odds sometimes high odds If I find it meaningful lastly I don’t know what you want, just focus and gamble right because you must not force a win always that’s gambling for everyone even with multiple strategy and analysis.

My strategy is to focus on finding bets where the odds seem better than they should be based on research. I stick to a budget and only bet small amounts so I don’t lose too much at once. Staying calm and not chasing losses is so super important (DO NOT REVENGE TRADING) and just have fun. I also look at things like injuries and recent team performance before betting. It’s more about being smart and enjoy than trying to get rich quick, low pace but consistent. It’s like hunting for cheap memecoins you think will blow up, but not putting all your money in one and not panicking when prices dip. Same thrill, same risks but the fun is there.

Well the best thing anyone can give you here as advice is that never take any thing or action too seriously when it comes to gambling,  I mean there is a reason why the tag "gamble for fun" is ringed vividly across the gambling industry.  Like you said, there is  absolutely no guarantee or method that would assure you of a steady win so the best you ought to do for sport betting like soccer is just to check the past records of the teams and ofcourse the current playing form of the teams so as to draw a co conclusion on who might possibly win a game.

As for the technique or pattern, I think most gamblers prefer betting on a single game although the stake power tends to bigger if the return would be nice or you can just choose parley selection on different game but not on 1×2 and probably over1.5 goals to reduce the risk and accumulate more odds and with little staking amount the profit will be something tangible.

Seems most of your experience is based on physical shop gambling base on the fact that you had worked in a casino shop in the past. Well most of what we have on this forum are online casino and they have some difference from the physical machines because everything in online casino is based on computer algorithm.

Generally, I don't believe there is a strategy for casino games as the games are based entirely on luck except for the skill based games like Poker. Sports betting is a combination of luck and skill, so a strategy is possible to be useful there.

My simple strategy for sports betting is to play double chance for the major teams when they play a team that the double chance odd will be at least 1.2. When I combined a couple of these matches will give me sometimes x4 or x5 then I put something significant in the bet.
 

First you should change your title, because your question is specifically about sport betting and not about gambling in general. But IMO the best strategy to make profits in sport betting is to seek value, that is stay to find outcomes with odds higher than they should be. For example the bookmaker offers odds of 2.00 for the victory of one team against another one, and you think the odds should be 1.8 instead because you believe this team is clearly more likely to win than to lose or to draw. Some bettors use their overall feelings to determine that, other closely look statistics, other ones just follow the opion of some specialists.

First, welcome to our section. I will make sure that I won’t say “I believe” or “I think” here, but instead I will share my own experience. Well, especially about what you need to avoid. Honestly, I find that gambling isn’t just about knowledge, but it’s about learning how to keep things in fun only without falling into dangerous habits.
One of the biggest keys is sticking to a budget and I recommend making sure you don’t gamble with more than 5% of your income. Starting with small bets or budgets helps you learn a lot without the risk of getting into financial trouble. I had experience working with casinos, and I have seen many people fall into addiction by losing control of their budget (one of them was me) so this is crucial.

As for the strategy, I focus on staying within my limits and knowing that gambling particularly in slots and mainly sports since it’s largely about managing probabilities and accepting the unpredictability. Bookmakers use a lot of data and complex algorithms to set their odds which makes it tough to outsmart them in the long term. Most regular gamblers don’t have access to these resources so better keeping it in a particular sport or league you know well and keep your bets based on your observations and analysis not just leaving it to luck.

Lastly if you ever notice yourself feeling bad or stressed by losses, it’s a good time to step back and take a break. The goal is to enjoy your experience and if you are lucky, maybe win something extra, but never chasing your losses.

Listening to the commentators can help you decide which to bet on. Most of them are sports players, so they know the sport. But whatever the bookmaker's process such as taking consideration of the historical data and expert opinions, the odds are like the giveaway of the outcome. This is why gamblers often just bet on the bookmaker's favorite and the only option you will have to do in order to increase the profit are the other options like Handicap.
