Everyone who has developed his own gambling strategies will believed they are the best, i wont doubt about that because that is what we are using on gambling and still fetch us wining sometimes, however, there is more need to be able to develop more on some of this strategies, revise on them and make use of additional ones to help have more better gambling experience, which is one of the best reason why we need to developed gambling strategy, so that we can enjoy gambling each time we are doing it.
By adopting a new and personal strategy one can consider himself a professional gambler and think that his strategy is the best but unique strategy is not the only solution when it comes to gambling. your luck plays a big role there.  But everyone can be happy using their own strategy.  But their fate should not be forgotten. and gambling should not panic and bet. no matter how unique or good the strategy is, the bet should be kept at an amount that you won't lose a lot of money if you lose.

It also seems to me that it is quite difficult for the gambler himself to understand where the boundary of normality is in gambling. 
Often it seems to the player that everything is within the limits of a reasonable game and he definitely does not cross the line.  But those close to him understand that he has actually gone beyond it and is stubbornly moving towards a really strong gambling addiction.  According to my observations, of course, most players can stop at some point and reduce their participation in gambling.  These people show self-control and, one might even say, are more responsible for their own lives and for creating a more comfortable life for their loved ones. 
I think that most responsible and experienced players have gone through such a period in their gaming history.  And now they are not afraid of any addiction, since for them it cannot develop to the stage of disease.
Most people hold a very positive bias towards themselves so they cannot really judge their actions in a fair manner, for example in a study which I read many years ago, most students thought about themselves as harder working than the average, an impossibility of course, as by definition only half of the students can be above the average in any given metric at a time, so while an addicted gambler may see their gambling in a positive light, their friends know the truth and see they are gambling too much.
Absolutely correct observation. 
Of course, I also think that when a player first starts playing, he mentally always overestimates his capabilities and is usually too optimistic. 
This is a psychological phenomenon that is clearly visible to the player’s friends or relatives, but remains unnoticed by the player himself.  A novice gambler simply does not think at all that he will actually have less luck in the game than he expects.  Although, of course, there are probably novice players - pessimists who can objectively evaluate their game in the future.  But I think that such players are still few among all beginning players.  Simply because this is quite an interesting and exciting entertainment that has not been used by a beginner before, and novice players have a natural state of slight euphoria at the beginning of the game and as the game progresses too.
To go a little bit further on this, in that study the students that were interviewed were simply normal people without any kind of particular personality flaw or psychological problem, so can you imagine the amount of self-denial an addicted gambler must go through in order to not see they have a problem? It is because of this that even if their family realizes there is something wrong with them, they are not willing to listen, and in their minds their family is the one that is blowing things out of proportion, even if we know this is not really the case.

Yeah, I guess gamblers (or people with any kind of addiction) tend to minimize the bad stuff and play up the good parts of what they're doing.  But I dunno about saying most people are way too hard on themselves.  Sure, some have that mean inner voice always tearing them down, but I'd guess a lot of people are somewhere in between – not wearing rose-colored glasses but not beating themselves up either.

How we see ourselves seems to depend on the area of life and  like someone might feel totally inadequate at their job but think they've got the whole social thing handled.


People always tend to do what makes them feel comfy and safe, in most cases, it has little or nothing to do with profit, its in the act that they find their satisfaction.

The society on this side sees progress as making money while most people see progress as comfort in whatever they get comfort out of. I think its just a standpoint of what you think as your solace.

When you see that someone wins money, it doesn't matter if it is from the casino, it is a private and only benefit, it has to be approved, I know that society is very harsh when judging people, but it is very well known that when someone finds a way Making money in a simple way will ensure doing it, this without intervening in a bad way in people's things, or harming people, if there is money that is earned well, but that can be done a lot, it is better in every way. , I am very aware that when I go to play I have to make some changes to see if I can win money, that is strategy, I don't know many, but the ones I know I use to see if I maximize my profits.

Right people in gambling world mostly are for their safeties and yeah that is the most
 important thing in this business so better to deal with that.

Actually majority of the people that gambles are those who wanted to make money
 and with that? I think comfort is just a tool for us to continued but the main reason

Football betting can be done in various ways, with the most common being betting on a club's position in the league table, the total points a club will accrue over the season, or the head-to-head result between two clubs in a particular match.Betting on a club's position involves predicting where they will finish at the end of the season relative to other clubs. For example, one could bet that Manchester City will finish first, or that Arsenal will finish in the top four. The odds on these bets will fluctuate throughout the season based on the club's form and results. Punters need to consider a team's quality, injuries, fixtures, and past performance when deciding if they are likely to achieve a certain position.
You are right about football betting being a type of sports betting that can be done in various ways, but speaking of which form of sports betting is the most common, i will say that its the regular type of betting which we are all familiar with, and that is, betting on matches as they are being played, and the gambler getting to know if they won the bet or not just in few minutes or hours as soon as the match is over.
I've sure heard about betting on clubs position in league, that is, betting on which club will end in a certain position or not, but to be honest, I've never placed bets on such prediction before because, it can take a very long time, like several months until the end of that season before one gets to know if the won or not, and also, i do not believe that betting on such type of predictions is common since hardly do we find gamblers talk about this type of betting.

If you are a football/soccer fan, you have probably heard about the stadium where the Bolivian national team plays its matches. The national stadium is located at a sea level of over 3500 meters. When other teams come to play Bolivia who aren't used to the height, they get into all sorts of problems and issues like breathing normally. Bolivia used to beat all its rivals playing at home because of that. It wasn't even easy for Argentina and Brazil.
You do have a point and this is indeed relevant on which there would really be that advantage when it comes to surroundings or something such as weather or its location.
I do agree into that even into these kind of small details and information is something that would really be important on adding up into your analysis on which this
could give out that kind of chance or adding up the odds for you to win up a particular bet. If you are someone who do bet on that particular game but doesnt know
about these details then this is something that could give out that kind of disadvantage.
Things like this cannot be separated because this can be part of the analysis that we will do before we bet on a certain team. Knowledge and being used to playing in the stadium or home base that they own is of course something that must be emphasized because they know the place that will be the venue that they will use as their place to play.
Usually we see a team entering the field first to study the venue they will use in the match. This is one of the important things during a match, because there is an adaptation process that they have to do. A country that has 2 seasons will of course be more difficult when playing in a country that has 4 seasons, because of the differences in habits and temperature differences. For example, during the Qatar World Cup some time ago, they had hot temperatures and it certainly wasn't easy.

The La Paz stadium has always been a very interesting topic because most of the soccer players who go there have to receive special preparation because it is not easy to play when you have to breathe, and the Bolivians are experts playing there, of course that is something You can see it from miles away and you can see it with any team that goes , they go slower and usually lose, but that's why the Bolivians like to play in that stadium, they know how to handle themselves very well and their bodies are used to it, but lately the teams that They have gone to play against Bolivia, they have beaten them in their own home and that is something that can be seen, that can be Noticed and that will always be seen as a point in favor of the Bolivians. regardless of its results.

Probably that is the case of addicted people who tend to see themselves in a distorted kind of reality where their views over their actions seem fogged to understand they are damaging themselves on long run and bringing negative consequences for those are around them and rely on them, such as family members. However, it's a surprise for me that most people hold very positive opinions about themselves, because so far I thought most people were heavily critics about themselves, what directly impact on how they think others might see them, and how they evaluate their own professional and social performances.

So they feel like they should strive maximum as possible to cause positive impressions on others, while doing their jobs with excellence, because on their views, despite what they do, it's never enough on other people's judgements.

On the other hand, addicted gamblers seem to not be concerned about what others think about them, displaying what could be also considered an egoistical, self-centered behavior. So it makes total sense to think they view themselves in a very positive light which is inconsistent with reality, like you said.

Yeah, I guess gamblers (or people with any kind of addiction) tend to minimize the bad stuff and play up the good parts of what they're doing.  But I dunno about saying most people are way too hard on themselves.  Sure, some have that mean inner voice always tearing them down, but I'd guess a lot of people are somewhere in between – not wearing rose-colored glasses but not beating themselves up either.

How we see ourselves seems to depend on the area of life and  like someone might feel totally inadequate at their job but think they've got the whole social thing handled.

So this is about an addiction? Well, we can always beat it if we want. To some people, it is weak in them, and to others, it is strong, and for the last set, it is in between. The most unfortunate part is that many people who are gambling addicts may not even notice, this is because it is not so strong in them yet. They will only realise that they love doing it but can still enforce some restrictions at times and everything will be fine. To suspect that is not always easy even as they are almost completely with their sense. Notwithstanding, it all depends on ourselves as well, and that is why the voice inside of them that you mentioned is so significant as well, but I would rather call it a "force" even though the two are valid in this context.

Truly, there is a voice/force, but not that audible voice, it's figurative. So this force pushes them to gamble even when they do not want to do so. That is why you see so many people using the money they can't afford to lose to gamble, I mean, in most cases, the huge money that was meant for other useful things. But mind you, as humans, we are not totally useless unless we want to be, people do not fight but just accept. As the voice/force talks to our thoughts and tries to push us into what we do not want to do, we have the responsibility to ourselves and our loved ones to resist and fight so well. Many had fought it and won, only that the majority are just too weak to fight.

I gat you right, everything doesn't just happened overnight, it requires time and patience from us to learn and see that we have improved in many aspect from what we do, we have to take much of the time needed before we could actually realized some of these things and their implication as being applicable to gambling, those we see gambling today have many years of gambling experience and still yet they are gambling with the understanding of either winning or loosing despite their own person developed strategies.
Everyone of use here have our own understanding and strategies in gambling but most of it are gamblers who actually copying others gambling strategies and I don't think so if it's gonna be effective once we are copying others strategy cause we are all know that in the world of gambling there's a time that we will loss even though we are in a good momentum but still in the end of the play we will loss. And also those people who are too old in gambling can make thier bet easier but not just accurate maybe they got lucky but not all.

The idea is that we cannot be an Ireland of knowledge from our own self, we have to depend or leverage on other's for improvement and learning, we are to take ideas from others and applied them on ours to see if we are going to align with them or not, these are part of what we take on to constitute our own personal gambling strategies, after which we have been experienced from others view on how they make use of their own personal strategy.
Well, you are sure right, no man at all on earth is an island of knowledge him or herself, just exactly the same way a single tree can not and does not make a forest, as humans, we can pretend to be independent from other people around us, possibly because we have made good money to be self sufficient in ourselves, but the truth is that, no man can ever be truly independent from other people, somehow and somewhere, we will from time to time need help from other people in different areas, and ideas, strategies on how to perform certain type of tasks are some of the type of help we will from time to time require from others.

Coming back to gambling, no body can be truly dependent on themselves and their self conceived ideas or strategies alone, for even strategies sometimes stops working, and at such a time, the person seeing that things are still working normally for the other person, will like to know how that person is doing it, so, in the end, we discover that humans are created and interconnected like a network, we need each other to scale and excel, no body can make it, not just in gambling, but also in other areas of life, depending only on themself alone.

Sports betting does indeed present a unique set of opportunities and challenges compared to other forms of gambling. While it's true that the odds in sports betting are meticulously calculated by algorithms to ensure the house always has an edge, the human element of sports introduces a variable that isn't as predictable. This is where a deep understanding of the sport can indeed tilt the odds slightly more in your favor, at least more so than in games purely based on chance like slots or roulette.

Sport Betting, unlike traditional casino games,  requires good understanding of the team in play. And it has more opportunities and odd of winning if one knows very well, the team he is betting on. A lot of Gamblers uses different strategies when it comes to sport betting and it requires a good skill, experience to know and predict who wins. Unlike casino games, having nice predictions can mostly be difficult as your winnings are determined by the algorithms not the casino or anyone. It really depends on luck. For most gamblers when making sports betting, they usually take their time to analyze the games odd and which team may emerge winner.
Yup good understanding can help you to make a potential prediction. sports is predictable and who know about a team or performance of players then he/she can predict there fans match and place a sure bet. Sometimes the good team loses the match, so you have to bet a small amount on each bet, no matter how sure the match is. Because unfortunately even a good team can lose a match. but it is possible to win in sportsbet more then another gambling games like slots

Club pertains to football for sure. But make the entirely related to sports betting that everyone have their own strategies on how to bet properly based on their analysis.

About the head to head, means this is likely the rivals that we're having like in football, hockey, basketball and any other sports.

When the match is all about this kind of category, the bets are going to flow into the casinos because it's also like fans versus fans that they're calling into their favorite team to win that match against the rival.

Odds are likely close to each if the matches are like those kind.

It also seems to me that it is quite difficult for the gambler himself to understand where the boundary of normality is in gambling. 
Often it seems to the player that everything is within the limits of a reasonable game and he definitely does not cross the line.  But those close to him understand that he has actually gone beyond it and is stubbornly moving towards a really strong gambling addiction.  According to my observations, of course, most players can stop at some point and reduce their participation in gambling.  These people show self-control and, one might even say, are more responsible for their own lives and for creating a more comfortable life for their loved ones. 
I think that most responsible and experienced players have gone through such a period in their gaming history.  And now they are not afraid of any addiction, since for them it cannot develop to the stage of disease.
