Topic: I Am So Done With Betting Until.... - page 8. (Read 2005 times)

Well, in this case, it's a little difficult when we are so sure that we forget that all possibilities can still happen, especially in this case, we also couldn't expect the final result to be like this.
But on the other hand what you said is true, everything in football can happen and indeed things like this we often encounter in club leagues but indeed the worst mistake in this case is direct All in regardless of the small possibility that something like this will happen in this match.

Yeah, moments like that remind us all that anything can happen in sports betting just like in the casino and betting big amounts is very risky. We all knew Argentina would win this match, but for reasons beyond our control, the outcome was staggering for all of us. I hope that OP is able to cope with this loss.

It was a big surprise to everyone. I mean Argentina been the Favourite having the likes of Di Maria, Julián Álvarez, L. Martinez, C. Romero, N. Otamendi, i don't want to involve Messi who is at the front line of blame. Argentina were just playing to have fun, the were just enjoying their time after the first half penalty win making mistakes in the second half. The most shocking part is that Saleh Alshehri's goal was the very first attempt Saudi Arabia had. The second from Salem Aldawsari was a big Argentina's defensive flaws.

I have vowed to keep my bets affordable because any one can lose even England, Spain, Portugal and Brazil and France isn't excluded. OP wanted something huge but it turned out the opposite but if he had won the story would have been different . OP just needs to take a break and resume when he has accepted the loss.

Sorry bro but I think as a gambler this should be a normal experience. Bro I feel your pain but I don't think you have to quit just because of one major lost. If some of us gamblers tell or show you our losses in gambling, I think you would be surprised how this person is having the guts to even say the word gambling.

For me most times I experience great lost I just decide to take a cool off the gambling market and relax my nerves and I think that's what you are doing now.

But not to worry it's totally normal to experience such loss because thats the whole concept of gambling. You can just experience only winning just as there can be only rain some season their is going to be sunshine so just hold on for the sun to shine on you bro.

We never know if the game was a result of match-fixing since both teams will surely act accordingly if the game is rigged.  They will definitely make it look real so that audience will not cater any doubt on the result.  Any team can make it look like they are trying to win but always miss whenever they are trying to get a goal or something with the same intent.

If ever the result is legit, then I believe Argentina had been outperformed by their opponent.  Maybe the strategy their opponent implements is somehow hard for the Argentinian team to counter and as a result, Saudi won, we also can't remove the possibility of the Saudi team getting lucky.


It is indeed a huge mistake but a bettor that has full confidence in the playing team will surely go all in just like what @OP did.  Somehow I think @OP forgot the term upset.

You are right to an extent because this time around we cannot relate the Portugal case with the Argentina's experience in their last match, things could actually go well as expected but since this is football we cannot be too accurate with much overconfidence because they are human and match can be unpredictable atimes, we need to understand how determined each of them were to scale this stage to the next one and Portugal this time are into it a very big time.

Certainly! The casino always got the advantage and it's never been a fair fight with them. When you're playing and winning, it's not the casino's money that you are taking, it's from the other bettors who lost the match and who did bet the opposite bet you took. And even if everybody is winning, the casino is still getting profits from every bet because that's how casinos work. That is why there's a lot of people who wanted to open their casinos because of the almost never-ending profits, the downside of it is if that casino doesn't have plenty clients who are playing on their platform or casino.

Unbelievable result, but that is the cons of betting on low odds teams. Actually, it's similar to betting on dice or any other luck game with 90%-98% winning chance expecting you are going to have an easy and safe win, although a single loss with such odds is enough to rip off your entire bankroll with slight recovery chances after that. I believe many other gamblers made the same movement OP did in this game between Argentina and Saudi Arabia. They are just too shameful and proud to come in public to speak about their frustration with the game's result. But you can be sure, OP, you aren't alone on this one.

Clear advantage for Saudi Arabia? In terms of what? You can't blame OP for going all-in for Argentina as we are talking about Rank 3 against Rank 48 here. It's a clear upset and that was unexpected that's why you can't just say that OP's take is dangerous.

It requires a tough decision to put money into Saudi Arabia and even I won't risk any money on it. That's why congratulations to those who have guts to risk betting on Saudi Arabia. That win becomes a historical moment in the country and others might put a bet on Saudi Arabia from now on.

Do you know what was the biggest mistake you did in this match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia betting which made you lose big?

You go all-in in the match and that was the main cause, you lose all your capital in a single match betting.  Even though no one thought in their wildest dream that Saudi Arabs can beat the Messi Team, but the unexpected happened. I hope you learn your lesson and never ever go All-In in any match, no matter how much you think that your prediction will be 100 % right.

Perhaps, it might be that those people you are reading their predictions did it wrongly, mine still has 96% winning in the current group stage. It was so easy for me because I do not do extensive research on football, I only choose based on the team's form for about 12 years, and it is working well for me. My regret is that I underbet against my plan, it could hurt as anything.

Nonetheless, you would be betting rightly tonight if Portugal is your choice. I don't know the miracle Ghana would perform tonight. You can take my word for it!

I don't know how much experience do you have, but your take was dangerous, considering that it was the first match for both teams with clear advantage for Saudi Arabia in terms of land and fans, as well as the motivation to look great against Argentina. I prefer to go with Over/Under when most of people expect a team to win as odds might be very tricky in some cases.

If you are not addicted to gambling you can quit  betting but if you addicted  forget about quitting it,you can only say it but hard to do. Just know the chance of winning in gambling is 50 to 50 no matter how the odd small like. And again don't always use odd to pick games whenever you want to bet, always do your own  research by checking the statistics and the current performance the team at that particular time. I was also very surprised when I saw Argentina lose to Saudi Arabia do to that  Saudi Arabia doesn't have good players and compared to Argentina. But that is what they call gambling, it is only probability that we can always use but nobody know actually  what will happen at the end.  we should always believe that anything can happen especially in  terms football.

Everyone that involved in gambling could have notice this that some time weak teams do defeat strong teams base in team  strategy.this type of what happen to Manchester city in their last match against brenford by losing to benford 1-2 so everyone was not expecting that but we were expecting man city  to win the game.

Let  just believe that gambling is just a luck thing, even as we believe that history work for us especially in term of football by analyzing their previous meeting and we are still expecting what happen past we still happen again. but do we know that things change especially players in teams. There are always introduction of new prayer to the teams. So we should not be expecting  good news only from one side.

however, it is a risk of gambling. OP is certainly aware of what is being done. even when we make small bets, it also has a considerable impact on our psychology when we already have our bet winning predictions.
I also lost on this bet, but after all, this is part of the excitement of the gambling game. hope OP quickly forgets his defeat, because the World Cup is still quite long. many matches that we can not just pass up 

This must be the lesson learned because not all the time we are winning, sometime we overthink, like what Op did, when he thought that his team will get an easy win but what happened is that the opponent got a win and the Op got their losses, not just an ordinary loss but a big loss.
But as a gambler it's better to play safe which if the odds will have a big difference in then it's better to  bet small.

All in but lose bet on favorite, the risk is high of losing money on bet all-in. I personally never all in by betting on a team that has lower odds than its opponent whatever it is, I definitely use small money. You should not forget this incident, because this is an experience for you in the future so that you can bet calm. There is no need to go all-in in gambling to get quick money, some all-in bets can be lucky but can also be unlucky.

Well, it's sad that you lost. At least you have so many people lamenting and wishing they saw farther than was expected but I guess that's the downside to betting; you win some and lose some. A friend of mine once said you don't get upset when a sure winning turns sour, besides there'd be no need to change tactics or reduce the number of selection if you always win.
 I think the game would have been to Argentina's favor if Messi's and Martinez's goals were not ruled offside. I think that was what weakened their resolve.

that is your right as bettor and gambler , but if you don't know the team that big and the opponent then best to bet small amount than risking so much with less assurance.
remember that sportsbetting is one of the safest gambling form so let us not get involved  to be a loser for many chances and not to bring our bets to complete losses.

It has a possibility, but we can't conclude that it is a fixed game since we don't have proof, and now we don't see any. Well, the game is like a ball, so there is really the possibility that those weaker teams can defeat the stronger team; we already saw it in the past, but now the issue is that a lot of gamblers bet on the stronger team, and it turns out they lose. That is why gamblers are saying that it was a fixed game since they lost a lot of money. We have nothing to do to really accept that they lose; let's just bet next time what we can afford to lose, whether it is a sure win or not.

One thing I missed from my betting experience. Whenever a good team play against any weaker, there is an unexpected situation happen. But I won't make allegation like fixing in an event like the World Cup. But if it happens behind the scenes then nothing to do. But I am more worried about the big teams in this World Cup. They behave differently in the same field. I was more excited about the first half than I was nervous about the second half. I deserve such situations can happen if the coach gives instructions. But in betting we have to take risk which we always avoid. As a result, sometimes we have to lose.
