Topic: I Am So Done With Betting Until.... - page 9. (Read 1935 times)

Many who placed bets on this year's world cup did not match predictions because surprisingly the big teams were humiliated by teams that were not seeded at all. I lost my money, but I will never give up, tonight I will place a big bet to win Portugal, even though I know it will be a very big risk but I will still place a bet to win Portugal tonight.

There are lot of matches found to be fixed in the past and many players even banned from playing the soccer so what I said is there can be possibility of fixing and it won't be visible when it happens in minutes of entire game, anyway I am not really go deeper about the fixing accusation now, because if there is any then it will be proved sooner or later. However this is for the sport bettors who need to be very careful with the bet amount and also don't be obsessed with the game too much because its really hard to accept the loss of clear favorite team but what happened can't be changed so accept and move on.

Well, firstly I am sorry you went all in and lost it all.
And I can relate to you to some extend: I also thought this was going to be a very easy win for Argentina, since they are well-known as a team and usually perform well in the world cups unlike Saudi Arabia. the only difference is that I did not bet.

I believe it is a good idea if you quit of a moment, perhaps until the quarter-finals, by then you should have a better idea of where to place your bets and hopefully you could recover some of your money, if you feel like it, of course. In the mean time, try to enjoy the matches with some food and drinks if possible, it is not only about betting.

I don't think this was match fixing because Argentina didn't play like a team that wanted to lose that game. They played very well and if it was any other day they would had won that game but it wasn't just their day as all their open play goals got cancelled for offside. There was even a goal that was meant to stand as the player been used to determine the offside wasn't meant to be used since there was another playing keeping the Argentina player on side.
The Saudi Arabia team also tried their best as their defense was quality keeping Messi out of possession and not allowing him time on the ball to carryout match winning passes as he usually does.

Yeah, in basketball I would say it's prevalent because you really don't know what team is going to show up, specially if teams are going to the homecourt of their opponent.


I'm also not a football fan, but I know that Argentina has really a good team in this world cup. But as we have said, upset in sports is going to happen and we really don't know when it will come specially like in football match specially in world cup wherein Argentina is highly touted to even win the trophy here.

Probably the frustrations really bring it to the OP to quit, but for sure when everything has settled down for him, I reckon that he might put a bet or two before the world cup ends in the next coming days.

The favorites are not the strong team anymore in World Cup every team has their own preparation for this world cup that surprises the football community this upset by Japan against Germany is something worth looking at by bettors because
This was the first time since 1978 that Germany lost a World Cup game in which they were leading at halftime, there will be more small and big surprises coming, even before the start of the Cup there was surprise news like the bribing

I guess you lose a huge amount to really become disappointed for quitting betting right now and hope you're not tempted to bet even though the odds are good in this World Cup, this world cup is confusing after this cup there's the probability that what we considered a weak team in the past will emerge as one of the top team.

Well, it happens in Basketball as well. Expect the unexpected and it happened to you as well.
I'm not a soccer fan so I don't know anything about it, but I will not blame you with your decisions because I might do the same if my favorite team in Basketball will go up against a team who is much, much weaker than my team.

For sure, it's not only you who lost money because many also bet on Argentina as well and it's unfortunate and very disappointing for you who bet on them. That's sports I guess and that's the reason why it's entertaining at first place. You may never know what can happen in every game. As for you quitting, it will depend on how addicted you are in gambling. I also experienced losses back when I was still gambling, but I can quit very easily because I'm not addicted into it, and I always set my mind whenever I gamble. Maybe stop for a moment and move on with it then after a few days, make a decision if you will gamble again or not.

Pretty sure many gamblers loss some money because of Argentina, recently I also believe many gamblers loss money because of Germany. This is a proof that luck is also involved in sports betting. Even if you are so confident with the bet you are going to place, it is always better to not doing all in in a soccer match (MoneyLine) where there are 3 possible outcomes (W-D-L). Argentina odds was around 1.1+ only if I remember it correctly. Simple math, it is like that you are betting on a 33% winning chance but you will get 10-12% profit only if you win the bet. It does not worth the risk.

This season of FIFA have got match results that are completely against the prediction. The match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia have got to be the first and Germany vs Japan have turned to be the second. In both the matches the scenario is the same. Initially Argentina and Germany lead the match and lost at the end. As suggested it is good to take some break and comeback.

Both Argentina and Germany are unlucky because both the teams had the ball possession of 70% and more and unable to score goals higher than the opponent.

Upset really happened even though it was supposed not likely to happen for a strong team like Argentina against a lower rank Saudi Arabia. Just a while ago, Japan even upset Germany and it just shows us that you can't rely on some strong teams now in the World Cup.

As for you, it's a good choice to stop betting for now as you are still in the status of disappointment.

Take a break, move on then comes back again if you are now ready.

Expect the unexpected as always which you cant really be having that 100% sure win specially on betting world.Even you see that it is really a sure win but odds of upset and comeback would be there.

Its always been a bad behavior on having that all-in type of betting whenever you are assuring yourself that you could definitely win.OP isnt really just the one who do experience that stuff but most of us
is surely having this kind of painful experience and at the same time it could really be that frustrating which it would really be that right for you to be that
realistic when it comes to your betting and enjoy on whatever the result and dong easily get discouraged.

I thought you're going to say that you almost quit betting until you made an unexpected huge win but there are scenarios like this. We badly want to quit but we can't do it immediately but we are still waiting for some kind of a sign until it comes to a point that we haven't quit gambling up until now because we can also win some times and we like that fact. No OP, don't think that you are the only unlucky gambler but many can relate with your story. That is normal because gambling houses cant just give us a money at all times but this is their business and they want to ensure that they can make more money than their players.

There's also factors that can be involved on why we can lose in a sports betting match. It could be that there is a fixing that happened, or anything, so don't always be confident with your picks and the odds that you see.

There are many of us in the shoe, not just you. In my wildest dreams, I will be the last person to accept that Saudi Arabia, a Saudi Arabian world cup first-time timer, will defeat Argentina. Although I will accept Argentina's defeat in peace, it won't prevent me from placing bets. You and I both have witnessed worse defeats in the past from various teams and nations.

Remember that football is just a game, and things are bound to happen when you least expect them. Don't let Argentina's losses get you down. Continue to bet, but make an effort to enjoy yourself while doing so. Try not to focus exclusively on one particular match or game.

you are not the most unlucky gambler, most people are losing at gambling, if everyone was winning then the casinos would have gone bankrupt and closed their doors a long time ago, you really don't wonder why the casinos are still operating? the answer is quite simple: they continue to operate because they are making a profit and that profit comes from the loss that many people are having, the game is not a guaranteed profit. it's always been like this


 

did you at least get to see the odds well if argentina won this game? before the game the odd for Argentina to win the game was @1.17 how did you go all in with such a low odd? If you were talking about a multibet bet I might even agree with you, but this is an odd that does not give any profit and is not useful for betting, unless it is a multibet bet




I also bet on them and I lost my bet, of course I just bet a small amount, I don't bet all my bankroll on just one game, I also only bet on them because it was a multibet bet, if I was just going to bet on them I wouldn't bet on them because the odd was very low, I was also very disappointed when they lost that game, I didn't expect them to lose, it looks like their chances of moving on to another stage will be mission impossible, at least that's what I think and I won't bet on them any more during all their world cup games

Fixed matches are what I dislike most about sports betting. After all, Argentina was the clear favorite in this match. I can't even imagine how happy those who bet on Saudi Arabia are.

Well, those who bet on the team of Argentina must understand that sometimes things don't go according to plan and this match is a good example of that. So, even if you're one hundred percent sure about your bet, don't gamble money you'll regret losing.

Expect the unexpected is a thumb rule in sports, it maybe fixing or just happened as coincidence which is the reason why we should not be relied too much into the favorites in sport betting. Already lot of accusations all around the world about Qatar hosting this world cup so there won't be any surprise if its a fixed game because it's s multi million legal and also black market behind soccer like games so never go all in.

It was your mistake to go all in on one bet. Obviously you couldn't afford to lose that money.
You shouldn't have bet an amount you couldn't afford to lose. This is what gambling teaches us.
Most of us has learnt this lesson a hard way. I am sorry that you had to learn this lesson the same way.

oh, I am not denying that they might have done something in order the get picked as a host for the world cup but that doesn't mean the rumors of them bribing players to win the opening match are true. and because of this rumor you are accusing middle eastern teams that if they win any match they must have bribed someone. as for the 220B for the WorldCup, reading the article you shared, it seems that they built a new city for this WorldCup. reading some more articles it seems that the WorldCup was just part of the plan and 220B is not solely for hosting the WorldCup.

Thousands who bet for Argentina share the same sentiment, I can't blame you, this should have been a warm-up and cherry-picked fight for Argentina but instead, they are, and the whole was caught by surprise, I just can't imagine the feeling I figure that you bet a lot for you to say that, this World cup is proving to be very controversial, first the bribing issue then this record upsets, are there worse coming, let's see.

I also agrees that one can get to that extent of saying am quitting gambling especially when you have the highest lost of opportunity with gambling onba particular game that make the spoil of it all, but this are emotions we react to being a gambler because of the experience we've encountered but that does not justify our actions then as the final decision we have made that's why many can go outrageously whenever they are unhappy or feels disappointed by something, their actions that moment may not really be whom they are but as a result of the present happenings, if we are to consider the rate of gamblers loosing bet to that of winning then everyone would have come to the conclusion if staying off the lane of gambling forever just because they loose, but things don't really work like that, take more caution and gamble the amount you can afford loosing.
