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

You already know these about gambling, so you know its nature and characteristics, it's you who now needs to plan better having admitted to the truth about it. Gambling is not what anyone can break easily, though it's better with sports betting, it's still a game of chance, no one can have a strategy and believe the strategy can always be reliable, one needs luck and a balanced psychology to be responsible in gambling, even as possibilities of outcomes measure up with strategies at times, but eventually, luck is still the answer.

The strategy and way of gambling is up to you, everyone has their own strategy in betting, so do I and other people too.
For example: Sports betting, generally before you bet, you have to first study the Teams, Players, Opponents, and also the graphs for the clubs competing and many other things that you need to understand before you place a bet.

Likewise with several other types of games, such as slots, poker, dice and so on, for me the more often you play, the better the strategy you develop every day, For this reason, understanding strategy in the world of gambling depends on the individual, the more you hone your game, the higher and more solid the strategy you will develop in gambling.

The keyword is already there, 'experience'. The best strategy is to bet only on the games and sports that you are experienced with. While no one can stop you from doing yolo bets in other sports that you are not fond of. But since you want to have a better chance of winning, go there where you are more familiar and have more experience. Or if you are less-experienced, start with the sports that you love and passionate with so that you'll start to gain some experience and know more about the teams, playing styles, strategies/performances and players.

actually people who get big wins because they accidentally assume the strategy used can bring luck, even though it's true that all are just waiting for luck to come not because of the strategy that makes you win. but only the position of the day where we get luck, but most gamblers think the strategy is real. but behind all that is just a lie that is considered serious

As much as you have researched and understood, my personal opinion is that sports betting is more better than casino slot games if the gambler does know about the sport and the players have good knowledge about the teams of those sports. And analysis can make a prediction.
And what I got from my personal experience is that my loss amount is more in casino slot games and my loss amount is less in sports betting. That's why I prefer sports betting most of the time.

There's no definite and specific approach for playing gambling and become responsible of your finances. What I did for a long time having engagement with it, was through learning each time I made a mistake of my decision making which gambling is always concerned. However, if you based on odds through sports betting? then it's good enough to see you target transparently but with other gambling games likes slots and dice games it was all programmed with unknown results.

Proper bankroll management, never bet more than 10% of your deposit (and this should be the biggest bet), exclude bets on small odds, which I think is pointless, these are the rules that cannot be broken, for your own well-being. As for strategy, you can do what is most convenient for you, if you manage to win without a strategy, then why not. I assume that most players play without strategies, just as they live without planning in life, it's just the choice of each person...

No worries at all. Everybody has been always skeptic on this strategy but results speak clearly.
I think that the best strategy is to adopt a mathematical/statistics way to bet. Gambling is not luck. Bookmakers doesn't run their business because they hope to be lucky.
If and when you understand this, ok you have the key for a win. Unless you're just trying to catch some crazy number wasting thousands of dollars.
Actually I haven't updated anymore my topic with prediction: I play just few matches in a year (90% on Sinner or during slams) .
It's not easy remain profitable in the long term...

Few years back that I got myself involved with sports betting, I found out that I had to be good with a sports event, make research, analysis and make decisions that will impact my outcomes. When I got introduced to gambling by friends, I found out that there is no particular strategy involved. I do this for fun and when I do it, I just wish myself luck and check my bankroll.

Actually you have a point.
The only way a random game might help is only when you select below 2 games, anything more than that is highly risky because you did not analyze the games and you did not check their previous performance also. However, winning is what gamblers always think of but we also needed luck to win the bets. Also, nothing is guaranteed on gamble, so even if we won yesterday and today, we should also know that event day can not be as the same.

Sometimes random selections and instincts works more than overanalyzing, I have had a huge win from a game that I didn't sit down to analyze. Even in skilled based games there's also luck involved. This idea you have about soccer betting isn't really a bad one but don't always expect it to work out, you can't always judge a team by their previous performance, in some cases the teams might try to outdo their previous games so you must be careful about it. I'll conclude by saying that analyzing is still better than selecting randomly or relying on instincts, it doesn't guarantee Profit but it's more better.

It is true that in the case of sports betting, betting strategies can be adopted from the data obtained through data analysis. And by adopting this strategy, many people win the match and by using the same strategy, many people can lose again. Using this strategy can help but not guarantee a win. But winning in casino gambling platform depends entirely on luck. I think there is no strategy to win in gambling that can bring you win. Be it a newbie or an experienced one all have to rely on luck. But some people use various tricks to get luck which is not guaranteed. In gambling one should not rely too much on strategy as this increases the chances of losing. Managing responsible gambling is the key factor in gambling.

Believe and trust this line: “No strategy works the second time." Gambling is all about luck and only luck. So if your luck is not good, then no matter what strategy you apply, you won’t be able to make profits. Yes, some skills are needed in sports betting, but for casino games, everything depends on the bloody luck. As you are a beginner, the only advice that I will give to you is to limit the amount you are betting. Set weekly targets and stop gambling once you achieve them. Taking small breaks makes your mind fresh and gives you a good start for the next week to gamble and make profits.

There's no clear strategy man, You obey your instincts and don't forget to gamble in moderation and with amounts you can afford to loose.

It's very instinctual for me, some days I select more odds and stake with a lower fund, some I collect very few games and stake high, I win and loose as well, so I don't stress myself much to advance my betting efficiency, I just come there to have fun and chill out over a bottle of beer or just to clear my head.

Basically a lot of gamblers use historical data and statistical factors to analyze sports prediction this is what makes it different from casino games because you can actually manage your risks with proper research and calculations. But strategies doesn't really guarantee a hundred percent success, remember that in sports there's absolutely nothing that's within the gamblers control, you can take your time to come up with a gambling strategy and at the end of the day it would still fail. There's a little bit of luck involved, relying on strategy has made a lot of people lose money because they were too comfortable and overconfident.

When talking about sportsbooks this can indeed be true because although sometimes in betting there are some things that we cannot force such as unexpected results for the favorite club or club that is being bet on but it cannot be denied that in addition to luck in the end for sportsbooks we can see several other things that can be used as a benchmark.
Statistics, h2h, or indeed the condition of a club can be an attempt to increase the probability of our victory to be greater as for the results of course it is left to luck which has a greater role because in the end luck also takes a role in this.

When talking about money management I also quite agree because in the end this also requires a mature strategy so that we do not make the gambling that we do actually make ourselves uncontrolled and make mistakes that are always repeated which result in addiction because the deposit strategy is not well controlled.

I doubt it would be that much different in terms of the parameters being looked at by bookmakers. The idea that I have in mind is that there are other additional things that players do such as:

• Bankroll Management
• Checking different odds for different bookmakers
• Psychological factors

These are the things on top of my head and it's something that could be valuable when you are trying to bet on sports. You could take advantage and adapt to the situation but it's good to know that there's no 100% prediction.

There are so many strategies for gambling in sports betting, to lotteries, to poker and casino games alike, but the one thing you should bear in mind is that no particular strategy guarantees a win, there is the need to also understand that the house always has an advantage and gambling is a game of probabilities and chance.
 
Also, if you adhere to a budget, manage emotional judgements, not chasing losses with the hope to win soon after much accumulated losses and you gamble responsibly, then you would have won already or have better chances of winning big soonest.

Controlling finances is probably the only strategy I use. it helps me not to bet beyond my limits and mess up my finances.
in sports betting, actually knowledge of the match we want to bet on is something that bettors generally have to have. so in short, don't bet just by looking at the Odds offered.
I don't know of any special strategy that can make us sure we will win or increase our chances of winning. but maybe they are gamblers with bigger funds and years of experience with gambling games, they have a better strategy in the bets they make.

What do you mean by insights? People with "good" insights lose money as well as people who don't have insights. There are no successful long term gamblers because of some strategy, because there's no right way to find a winner of a match, otherwise gamblers would be called investors.

Best insight i got is: Have a system to prevent spending your money fast, because even if you have a plan to spend something in one evening, sometimes you can get agitated and that makes you ignore your own rules. So have a budget and make it impossible as you can to top it. In time, it gets easier to follow budget, as you are conditioned to the fact you have a spending limit, that you can't slip from.
[/quote]Even if someone shares their insight with the author, what is the probability that it will work for them? Because what works for me may not work for you. We have different betting methods, use different amounts, and bet on different games. These games are future events, not repetitive. Each sport game is unique, so insights or facts are hard to apply. Human factors and natural circumstances can disrupt any game. Everything surrounding sports betting makes it difficult to claim a universal strategy.

However, if this were a programmed game, one could say, 'You've tried certain things, and this works.' But since sports games are mostly live events, only personal strategies are effective. These include:

1. Setting and sticking to a budget.
2. Managing emotions when games don't go as planned.
3. Avoiding overspending and allocating time wisely.

That's the reality of sports betting.

It is true that luck cannot be completely separated from gambling in betting or any form of gambling, it's just that some forms of gambling you can approach such as in soccer, you have to know the history of a team competing and the condition of the team as well as the factors of field conditions and other such things can be considered as a form of judgment to increase your chances of getting a win in betting, then in the use of money in gambling, it goes into strategy too, so you can't ignore that you don't use strategy and just deposit pressing and waiting for results, but maybe you gamble in that way then your opinion can be justified.

What do you mean by insights? People with "good" insights lose money as well as people who don't have insights. There are no successful long term gamblers because of some strategy, because there's no right way to find a winner of a match, otherwise gamblers would be called investors.

Best insight i got is: Have a system to prevent spending your money fast, because even if you have a plan to spend something in one evening, sometimes you can get agitated and that makes you ignore your own rules.

I don't use any strategy in gambling I always believe that when I bet in any game winning is totally up to me although there are some things I have to be careful and try to win from there by adopting some techniques.  will be  No strategy works properly in gambling because the games are created by various programs that are capable of fooling us.  So if you gamble then play it only for fun and don't try to apply any strategy from someone with guarantee of getting big out of it.

As gamblers, we should have the same view as this, because making gambling a place to make a living will disrupt our finances and we should make gambling a place to have fun or relieve fatigue.
Gambling is something that depends on luck and we all know about it. While how luck works, no one can predict when it will come and when it will go. Even someone who gets lucky by winning big will lose their winnings if they continue gambling for a long time, because their luck is gone. There is no eternal luck, even big luck rarely comes to us.

Do you spend much on the price of getting those codes?  Most of those bettors on social media have no direct hands in fixed games, and their predictions a times end up false. I've checked them out and saw they were only into business. Nothing else. Do you think otherwise? That it's based on the application of the game codes. However, it relieves stress and energy that may have been spent analyzing and booking games.

Sports betting like you have said is a game that it's outcome is always dependent on both luck and Sports knowledge.
That is, your knowledge in sports helps you do a proper analysis and come up with team to put your bet on, and depending on the pair of team playing, that also tells you which type of bet to place, after placing a bet, the final outcome now depends on luck because in the end, outcome of sports games is most times unpredictable, most especially for the games with good odds, which equal to good profit if won.
In sports game where it's easy to predict who the winner of the match will be, winning such bets won't yield much profit though it still depends on the type of bet.

So for me, I have no set strategy as regards to betting on sports, and this is because the world of sports betting is very dynamic, strategies change for different games most of the time, so, depending on what game I decide to place my bet on, that tells what strategy I have to implore to increase my chance of winning the bet.

Some folks ain't even know shit about gambling, but they be taking the front rows whenever they hear a discussion like this one.. just take a look at what he wrote there.... How absurd does that sound? Why would anyone claim that the possibility of cutting a win depends on the riskiest games,and your ability to try it out - so that everything happens simultaneously??.. ( I just had to elaborate his garbage post)... Otherwise, one word would have taken care of the explanation - LUCK.
I don't even have to be told that I gotta be lucky to win on a casino ... Playing on few games will change my mindset and I'll be facing the reality in less than no time.
exactly... Infact, I may go ahead to say that the gamblers who need them telegram prediction channels the most are the ones that can predict games already on their own. Those channels are "aids" and those games are predicting by humans like you.

The best approach I use when I feel the urge to gamble is mostly because I can easily get game codes from seasoned bettors on some social media groups and when i load their betting slip on my app, i just improvise on the games or bet it with my preferred amount.
Sometimes I try to bet on odds instead of going for straight winnings , even though I might have to spend much, I get to win more frequently than when I go for over/under or straight winnings.

For slot or poker, I just play till I can accumulate small winnings after just about 5-10 tries and that would be enough for me for that day.

well well well, this change my mind, maybe i get lost in translation (I don't get the logic on what you write) but seems that you are an experienced users, I am going to try to follow you.

Thanks for sharing your experience on the forum, I am going to look it more carefully.

Gambling outcomes remain unpredictable, so there’s no chance for a gambler to identify the best approach or strategy as every game creates different outcome. However, if you stick to the basic rule in gambling, gamble what you can afford to lose, you will never end up at a huge loss. I think the only proven approach in gambling is never see it as a source of living, but just for pure pleasure and entertainment.

I have won several prizes and competition with this strategy.
You are not aware but in the past a gambling house has launched such competitions here on forum with bets tracker in blockchain and so on... No jokes

After all of these competitions I was 2° in hall of fame. .
Well for sure I am not the best gambler. But for sure this is not the worst strategy that I have ever seen in gambling. I don't accept lesson on this argument, thank you.
Please I don't need to prove anything since results speak clear and loud. Check my post history

If there were a best approach for gambling, many of us would have mastered the act long ago and even taught others how to profit easily from gambling. However, if you take a closer look, you'll find that this is not the case. Many gamblers in the forum prefer to bet small amounts and do not rely on gambling to get rich. They place bets based on their intuition and do not have high expectations for winning. Whether they win or lose, they accept the results without blaming anyone for their losses or for suggesting games that may lead to losing money.

Gambling do always matter on how lucky would be on which somehow there are classifications or types of gambling in whichever could be consider that luck factor will really be that needing to be bias for you to be ending up on being profitable. Strategies aren’t that holy grails that make out some assurances that you will be able to surely win. There are really times or moments on which you will really be like that delusional with your gambling activity on which this is something that it is really that a very common mistake of a certain individual.

What I just read??? WTF I think those don't make any sense:

1.- This rule implies an expectation of zero loss. But that is not possible when we talk about gambling
2.- Attempting to remove luck from the equation doesn’t align with the reality
3.- Well yes we need to celebrate any win.

Are talking about gambling or about Treasury bonds? ( USDT Investment Fund with BTC & USDT liquidity reserve. 10% Annually  sorry for the spam here  )


Nice, I am going to try to follow it.


Thanks yes as far i read almost all users agree with this.

So summarizing it most of the post

- There is no strategy.
- Gambling for fun as long you enjoy it (Usually enjoying the match)
- Gambling only the amount that don't affect your economy.
- "What I do may not work for all but it is ok for me"

And yes I agree with most of them, I just was expecting some more interesting approach.

Thanks to all for sharing your point of view and methods. I will keep reading you.

Regards!

I agree that gambling is a game of chance, but long-time players, experienced in gambling, still have an advantage over new players. I believe that experience will help long-time players have a higher win rate than beginners.

I recommend you do some research on the gambling game you want to play, you will find it helpful. As for myself, my strategy is, that I will learn very well the game I want to play, and I only play the games I am good at. However, as you said, luck will account for a higher win rate. So no matter how good a player is, if he is not lucky, he will lose. If he is good but addicted, he will still be a loser in gambling.

my strategy is really simple but it involves many factors and it depends from many things...
First rule= you must not lose a single penny. No sense try to hit a jackpot.
Second rule= avoid luck. The risk is always greater then the reward.
third rule= every win is always a great win.but it must be safe and sound, with minimum risk.

yes, these are all of my rules that drive my bets. Of course this is just a part for be profitable and win but it can be really helpfull for not losing money or maximize any profit.

that you've once worked for a gambling company either directly or indirectly shows you already knows the basic of gambling and have seen the good and bad side of gambling. book makers set odds based on fact you are disposed to like past head to heed history, current form of the players (that's if its sports betting) and a lot of basic things you can think of. if you observe well, a lot of the odds that are being set for most games are things you can easily predict and it only goes to show that the variables they are considered while setting the odds are not things you don't have the knowledge of.

if you're gambling on an event you're very familiar with and are currently following up on, you don't even need book makers odd before deciding what to predict as the potential outcome of certain event. note that if bookmakers are biased with their odds, its going to lead to them experiencing the bigger loss so somehow, bookmaker choice of odds also show how they view certain team strength and in most instance, its always closed to the final outcome of the game. my betting strategy might not work well for you and i wouldn't advice you to stick to it as generally, i might choose to make five different prediction using five different methods or strategy.

To me, gambling is such a lucky game that it doesn't matter if you are a newbie or an old casino player. Because they can only encounter or experience winning when they bet in a casino if they are lucky. And with their timing, whatever they bet is sure to win, and you will win in casino games.

So, in short, I don't use any strategy; as long as I only bet if I win, that's fine, and if I lose, that's the way it is, as if I accept as a gambler whether I win or lose.

Usually I use more statistical data or historical data to determine the team that has a chance to win and I also always consider other things such as the difference in odds in 1 match such as when I want to bet on the over option, I always consider the odds of the total score of each team. So I can get a feeling if the match will reach a score more than I expected. And usually I am always careful with matches that are too striking such as big matches or weak teams against very strong teams. Usually matches like this require more in-depth analysis because a surprise can come.

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.

I keep my bets small and I don’t make bets very often. If I am lucky cool, it is some extra money. If not, I will try my luck next time, maybe tomorrow or next week but definitely not right after I lose. If I make bets one after another then it becomes a very quick process of getting poor. Been there done that. I don’t smoke cigs  one after another, I don’t drink beer non-stop and I sure damn don’t make 1000 bets in a day like an addict would do. My strategy doesn’t win big but it surely doesn’t lose big too.

As you said that sports betting is an unpredictable sports game, because there will be no special strategy that can create consistent wins even though an expert will still experience defeat in the game algorithm scheme. And in general the percentage of winning and losing is more than winning even though what is done like most people by looking at the opposing team, statistics, previous matches, performance, injured players, a combination of hunches and so on. All of that does not guarantee that you will win or get continuous wins, it can only create opportunities to win. And I personally bet on sports betting especially football just to create a different adrenaline and also make me serious when watching it and besides that it will increase my insight and knowledge in the field of sports, winning and losing is just luck and I also only bet with a small capital.

The best strategy in gambling is, you do not care about the money you eliminate in gambling in one shot, such as purchasing free spins on a slot machine using your complete deposit money and watch how lucky you are there, if you lose then you will lose half or even just only Leaving 5% of your total deposit for the results, but if on the contrary you get a profit then you will get money very instantly, that's where it is important to control your greed.

But everything returns to how much the risks you might take in gambling in the form of any game or match, and talking about risk is dependent on how your mental state is gambling.

Gamblers have to think like the bookmakers to be able to know how they come up with their strategies, so that they can be able to make smart decisions. Still everything comes down to luck, both for the bookmakers and the gamblers, they're both trying to outsmart each other. What I can say is what should be a general concept for gamblers and it is for them to use the amount that they can afford to loose when gambling, that is the way to minimize the impact of loses in casino and sports gambling. There is no guaranteed strategy to win in sports bet and casino games so they should just have fun while gambling.

You can never determine the end result of every game. Expect a loss as much as possible because that is the possible way it could end up in gambling.
AI will say I am wrong but intuition will tell that I may be right. 50-50. So what will you accept?
Analytical, historical, or whatever means you use, they will all end up in one choice and there's a possibility it could be wrong. The last time I bet for the favorite with a -10.5 handicap I end up losing it which means there must be someone controlling the game. Be careful with these traps because they can do it over and over again.

Different strategy comes with different results. However, when it comes to sports betting, which is also a game of chance, knowledge, working strategy and discipline are crucial.

No strategy will come to guarantee success and profits, but if you know what you are betting, you have done research and use statistical models, and you stay disciplined all throughout betting, I mean you stay being patient, the chances of winning from your bets increases and minimize your inevitable losses. Just practice the do’s and don’ts when betting, regardless if it’s sports betting or not.

Just like what the bookie do, We as gambler analyze the game itself and choose a better odds for the bet with the risk that we are willing to deal with in exchange for a better payout.

There’s a lot of strategy that depends on your risk appetite. Some gamblers choose low odds then put a lot of money on it while other gambler preferred higher odds for higher payout despite the risk involved.

You should mention your risk appetite on the gambling style that ypu want to get suitable strategy for you.

Aren’t all methods of ours the ones we best believe is for us? Some gamblers have strategies that may be frowned upon by some but works for him. Like you said, there’s really no scientific way to be 100% successful in gambling even in sports gambling where it requires a lot more than luck and we can rely on stable data and not just randomness.

For me the best method will be research, research, research. Yes, gambling is unpredictable but sports can be mostly assumed or predicted correctly. Just Remove your biases and see clearly what a team has done and weigh what they can do more.

The best approach is to just gamble with money you can afford to lose. That is the most important strategy you must make sure to always follow. Doesn't matter how much effort you put into finding the perfect strategy for your gambling session, you aren't going to find it. Many have already tried, but always lost big money in the end.

It's normal you are excited and hopeful about this possibility, since you are new in gambling boards, but I can tell you it's a temporary emotion you are feeling, because as soon as you realize the true nature of gambling and how it performs on long run, you will lose interest for it, if your main goal here are consistent profits.

Take advantage over EV+ bets, if you keep bet on EV+, technically you will earn in the long run https://www.oddschecker.com/us/betting/tools/education/how-to-calculate-ev-betting

But it's hard to find that, sometime it only exist on special event because in regular sports, the bookies already have history and data which they know the right odds.

It's definitely rigged, Mike Tyson tend to hold his punch instead of making a combination. He can't lying to the public, when he was young he had many combos. That's impossible if he forget, he should have muscle memory.

Place bets on high odds. You will surely lose 80% of them but when you win one you recover all lose. That's if you are in sports betting.

This sounds really contradictory because you know that there's no scientific or a proven method to which gambling can be done and it will continually give you winning results and you seek an opinion from experience yet you don't want people giving insights based on what they think or believe so how else do you really want to be advise or given an opinion, I mean people's valuable insights will definitely come from their taughts which are mostly their experiences.

What you are looking for is difficult to obtain because the methods are almost personalized for each one of us, I base myself on predicting football results because since I was a child I have been a fan of football and I played football, apart from that currently I am constantly updating myself on what I can, such as the health status of the players, what possibly the coach can do, according to the performance of the team with their previous game what can possibly happen in the next game, watch the news, watch their social networks to see if they are 1005, there are some who say everything, other footballers do not, I base myself on all that to be able to give a final verdict and thus be able to place a bet, sometimes the opinion of everyone here in the forum helps a lot, because to predict in a sport everything can be very subjective.

There is no such to per say is the best approach because every gambler will only attempt to make use an approach or strategy or strategies that are only suitable enough to withstand their risk profile which may differ from others, my advice for you is to be open to as many options or strategies and figure out the one that will be suitable for you at some point you can as well mix up up strategies while accumulating your odds, personally I prefer the win or draw option on a club that I know if they don't get a winning the game might likely ends up in a draw, though there is no guarantee of winning towards any form of approach, option or strategy but one must make a choice if actually one must bet or gamble, this advice is strictly on football betting, figure the approach that you are most comfortable with and explore, some time you can as well try new ones. Welcome on board.

A regular sports bettor also use the same process. We look at historical records - performance, wins and losses of the teams, we look at their current news players fitness, club management, as well as other metrics. We consider the type of league and championship tournament that they are in. We may even look at the referee team. Last but not least, not always the case but we may consider the sports book, comparing the odds on a couple of them before settling for one. This is a glimpse of the process that we employ before we finally place our bets.

The regular gambler knows deep down that gambling is not a good way to make money, but rather a good way to lose money. Within this group I would divide the more responsible gamblers, who despite gambling regularly do not have a problematic behaviour that negatively affects their life and the irresponsible gamblers, whose stories we read from time to time on the forum.


In sports betting, at least the people who succeeded a few years ago are because they had found niches in minority sports where the bookmakers had not adjusted the odds so well, but it is becoming more and more difficult.

I didn't calculate anything, it's more like an instinct.

Just like in the past both Chelsea and Manchester United play with terrible performance, if they meet against underestimated teams like Brighton, Aston Villa, Newcastle, I will bet on them instead of Chelsea and Manchester United despite they're favorite.

For now it's Roma, always bet against Roma regardless the team they met.

That is difficult to say but most likely the odd providers to different casinos most probably use machine learning to create different data models and to compare them through AI nowadays before deciding which odds to bring. I know this is possible nowadays but I don't know if they really do that or just like expert analysis, normally expert analysis in my opinion is a thing of the past, let me make you an example, every expert in the game France vs Israel played at France would have chosen a France win yet the reality is completely different and all the experts would have lost their choice. So for sport betting is difficult to know for real how the odds are determined, it is a job that only the odd providers know in an exact way.

Beliefs and thoughts are valuable insights in a topic like this. Do not expect anyone to come with a strategy that works 100% of the time cause there is no such strategy for sports gambling. Most gamblers experiment with different stattegies on different weeks with varying results.

In sports betting, I try to balance the odds as much as possible, going with the lower odds all the time as a safe option does not always work out, so I go with a combination of gut feeling, historical data and expected outcomes. I believe this works when you approach gambling as a recreational activity and not an investment, as the focus will not be on winnings but having fun.

I don't know the kind of answer you are hoping to get but we are all called gamblers but we have different approach when it comes to gambling, I can tell you how I go about gambling but I doubt it will be useful for you, who you are and your luck rate depends on how your gambling experience will look like.

For me, the best gambling approach that works best is enjoying my games, either casinos or sports bet, I care much about enjoying my time, if I need money I would rather do trading online or other, my friends all bet on Mike Tyson and Jake won, but I don't even bother, I was into watching the game and it looked rigged to me, but I did it for the experience.

Someone like me who doesn't want to earn from gambling like my life depends on it will always have nothing to worry about, no addiction and no huge losses, my friend said I won't make good money from gambling and I meant to keep it that way, if I can't afford to place bet I am not doing it.

Hi every one, I new in the gambling boards and I want to ask What is your strategy on gambling?

Let me tell you something about me and my experience around gambling, I worked for casino time ago and I've seen a lot of pathological gamblers on those machines I already post a topic about it: I Maintained Slot Machines: The Truth Behind the Wins This experience as bystander make generate some concerns about gambling at some young age, again I already post some topic about it : Impact of Small Gambling Machines: Are Children at Risk?.

Now I want to understand the Gambling in sports from logic point of view. According to my research Gambling in sports, is largely based on probabilities, statistics, and psychology.

For example the people who set the odds values for a sport event use complex algorithms, historical data, and expert opinions to set odds for such sports event. These odds represent the likelihood of a certain outcome, and they’re designed to create a balanced betting environment where the bookmaker makes a profit regardless of the result.

So if the Bookmakers use such kind of process, what is the process used by a regular gambler?

I know there is no scientific method that can fully predict sports outcomes due to the unpredictable nature of the games, but what is the best approach according to experienced users/gamblers?

I expect to read valuable insights and not just opinions based on "I believe that...", "I think that..."

Regards!
