Topic: My Unconventional Betting Strategy - page 3. (Read 650 times)

I've never done this before in any sports that I'm betting but it's good that you are doing great as long as you and your friends have a full understanding of how things will work then you and your friend found a good strategy that you can use not only in football but on many things where there is a need for cooperation and strategy, who knows you and your friends can make good business partners if you can get along, but if course this is gambling you and your friend should understand that you can lose everything.

Summarizing the ideas and decisions of three will be more efficient and effective compared to a single player. It also promotes positivity since they're considered a team.
However, you should not expect continuous winning using the same strategy because there is no constant result in gambling.
There were also stories of broken friendships because of gambling so you must also be ready to handle worse situations in the future because where there is money involved, there's also a conflict.

I just found out that there is a strategy like what the OP called unusual, usually everyone makes bets on their respective accounts without anyone partnering to fund bets even though a lot has been done but I just realized this story now, maybe it's not something strange for them who already know about this betting strategy.

My method is not in this way, sticking to my own choices without involving friends to bet with. I prefer what I can afford instead of funding a wallet with friends. It will be more difficult for me to share the profits.

The World Cup is enough to give me an advantage in my own way betting, so I prefer to do it myself but when we hang out together to watch the match.

This is pool betting, not really unconventional we also did that when I was in my teenage but we did not get the results that your group or friends enjoy, there's always conflict on what team to bet and there's blaming game along the way, I'm not doing it anymore I want to be responsible on my losses and winnings and there's money involve and when there is money involved between friends there's going to be conflict, so there should be a gentlemen's agreement and you know each other character so there will be no fight, hopefully, it will not happen to you and your friends what happened to us.

Agree with your post. I did not get it also, how they gonna minimize losses. You cant cheat math. 100$ bet with 1.5 odds or 3*100$ bet with odds in case of a loss will have similar result. I think what OP really meant was that they do brainstorming before placing a bet. Or via collective thinking find most "save" bets.

Cant imagine how it can reduce addiction also. Now they all three are bond with deposit. Now they have common thing to do together. Now when two wants to place bets, but third person is busy, he must stop his activity and join them. Seems they achieved opposite result.

rock paper scissors works with people who are not too attached to their opinions, so I wouldn't say it's the best solution all the times.

but you are right, approaching it as a friends game definitely helps and makes things lighter.

Any strategy in gambling is good, as long as it wins and makes you happy and satisfied. Use it as long as it brings you pleasure.

I just don't understand how it minimizes losses. Do you think that if you lose, you will lose only 33% of your money from the deposit? But there is a downside to this - you will win less, that is, you will receive only a third of a successful bet.

It seems that the things that Op said in this thread are very familiar to our members. I think it's fine, betting with the group many times. moreover, everyone has analysis and choices that will not always be the same. In fact, each person can have their own parlay slip bet.

Op mentioned there were three people involved, and if one won the parlay slip. in other words, a win for all of them. after all Op is only targeting three matches, the probability is high enough to win the bet. however, the fact is that scenarios don't always go according to plan. the point is, there are times when we win and vice versa.but what's fun is, watching the game together. there was a sensation that was driven by shouts and cheers from his friends.


Well, I feel I fail to understand to avoid addiction. I guess it depends on the individual, in this case it was the world cup anyway.  every day, there are only 4 matches. if the match is over, the betting is over and you return to betting the next day. I don't think there is a strong correlation in this context with things that lead to addiction.

It's not easy to have a friends with the same passion, especially about gambling, hopefully, until the World Cup is over you can earn more than what has been made so far.
I don't have an unconventional betting strategy, it can even be said that I don't have any particular strategy other than betting on sports betting and playing casino games with one strategy, which is always using the minimum bet, the goal is only to be able to play longer because of a limited budget.

That's a good strategy but not really unconventional many people are already doing that, there are advantages and disadvantages but the most important thing is you agree to disagree and have an understanding of whatever outcome of your bets, you can only do this if you are really close to your friends if not there will be misunderstanding, and there's some sort of guide on how to settle if there are choices that need to resolve, its good that you have success doing this, the most important is to have fun doing this, its still gamble you all have to understand that you can still lose.

What's the unconventional there? You just basically pooled money into a single account to make your capital larger. I think the only benefit that you have there is that you have a larger account and the profit that you'll get is bigger. Nothing unconventional because I think it's being done with other people as well. As long as you trust people who would bet for you or either add an idea on the current bets, then there's just nothing to it, really.

- Minimizes losses how? It's the same percentage on the same matches? The chances are the same and if you lose, you lose as well. Maybe the percentage is less but if you think about it, it's still the same even if you're just one.
- How does it reduce the chance of being addicted? Won't it be an additional addiction? This would be dependent on the type of friends that you have. Maybe they are the ones initiating the gambling and could lead to further addiction or something.
- I agree with the bonding. It's really fun to go out with friends, you know.
- Accountability is important for sure and making sure you are in line.

I don't have any unconventional strategy TBH because it's usually luck still. So I just based it myself on luck and not think about anything else. I'm just making sure that I'm okay losing money up to a certain point. Making sure that I won't have a revenge type of thing in gambling.

My only safe strategy is to gamble with the money I can afford.
So why should I have an unusual bet and bet with friends?
Besides that, if I want to join my friend in placing the bet together, I will send the money to them and let them decide.
It may be the best way to bet for them so they can share information to choose the right team.
But still, I'd rather bet alone than share accounts with others because when it comes to money, everyone can be greedy.

Your strategy is pretty simple. I am not even sure if I would call it a "strategy" though. You are basically saying we wager less so we lose less.

You can perfect this strategy if you don't play at all and still do the rest of the stuff with your mates. (drinking, talking, hanging around) It wouldn't just minimize your losses, you wouldn't lose anything at all.   Also since you don't play, you also can't get addicted.   But then watching the games wouldn't be as fun I imagine.

    The method you have shared here on this topic is nice, Although I am also playing crypto gambling here even though I am a newbie. Based on your story it also appears that you won with the strategy you are talking about here, right?

How long have you been doing this? every time you do this, do you take home a win from gambling here mate? I ask this because I want to try what you are saying so that I can also experience making money from gambling somehow.

But you know anyway, not all gamblers think like you about the strategy you are talking about here, maybe others don't understand what you want to point out.

Maybe you are pertaining to the risk reduction because his statement is true in regards to minimize losses since they do a bankroll share which means the loss is distributed to the 3 of them and not on him alone. The amount of money he spend on bankroll when he is playing alone compared to this group is much smaller. The idea is to minimize the pain of losses because you have someone to share on it.



Right, I think this is always the issue on this kind of betting strategy. Sometimes the person who predicts an accurate result the most always blame the guy who predicts bad result. This always ends up on argument on how they will split the to profit especially if someone on the group contribute the most on there win.  Been there done that before with my friends and we always end up to an argument.

I used to have a weird strategy where i'd take the underdogs on MMA because of how the outcome can potentially go both ways but the odds are too one-sided. It worked for a few times and I stopped after stringing a few wins as I want to end it with a profit. I also remember betting on a league where their games only lasted for 5-10 mins and I had that one successful run after tailing someone from the chat I don't know why I suddenly followed his bets but at least it paid off though.

Not really, but I've done what you explain in the past with friends also.



Logically, just as it minimises losses, it also minimises potential gains.


For me this is the most important thing, the social aspect which, as you say, reduces the risk of addiction. Problem addictions tend to be solitary and hidden from others, by betting with your friends gambling becomes a social and entertaining experience, as it should be.

I was thinking the same thing, I mean it is fine that the OP has enough trust on his friends that they are willing to have a single account for all of them and they decide together on the bets they are going to make, however in theory this should be more addicting than gambling on your own, as people get addicted to things that makes them feel good about themselves, and without a doubt gambling with your friends is way more fun than betting on your own.

what I see from what you do with your friends is having fun making bets. this will not make you addicted as long as your goals and friends are not oriented toward absolute profit.
you make strong betting capital by combining with your friends. happy if you get your luck.
but I am not so comfortable doing the same as you. even though hanging out and watching movies together is very exciting. but betting on one platform with other people doesn't make me comfortable. in soccer betting, I don't have a specific strategy. just an ordinary game analysis. I just don't usually bet on the first game. I started betting on the second match and so on. this is just to see the strength of the playing team.

This strategy is not that bad but you guys just formed a gambling partnership. The beauty of your strategy is that risk or losses would be shared among and putting heads together to play games might be helpful.

But the disadvantage of this partnership is that wins would also be shared and I hope you guys have drafted a sharing formula because it could also lead to disagreement and conflict. Another challenge might be disagreement during staking. You or your friend might have different strategy or might forecast differently on a particular game. The question now would be; Whose game or prediction will be played?
For me gambling should be personal because it is unpredictable and risky. I prefer to take the praise or blame for my wins and losses.
