Well, I guess more good heads is much better right? We have done this several times before when I was still in college as we don't have enough money to bet on our own from the NBA games, especially during the playoffs. It's indeed true, that betting together with your friends is quite fine when you're watching the game live.
We usually put a bet in a series during the NBA playoffs. Win or lose we all share the same excitement and fun, and most it indeed avoid further losses and depressions during loss.

I have also done group betting many times before. All for fun. When gambling is done with friends, not only is losing minimized because of sharing and comparing different analysis, it is also a lot more fun. Especially when you are already watching the game and you cheered together for a certain team because all of you have money at stake it would really be a lot more fun.
But how come this reduces the chance of being addicted? Sometimes when you gamble with friends, it is more addicting. If you gamble alone, you are only going against yourself during the times when you don't want to gamble. But when gambling with friends, your friends will often force you to accompany them and gamble and you comply even if you don't want to.

I don't really see how this s unconventional or minimizes losses. If you mean it forces you to always contribute that "equal amount" for every session and not increase/decrease it arbitrarily then I guess you can call it so, but it doesn't actually decrease it (But it is a good idea for socialization nonetheless). The risks you take are technically the same imo whether you go solo or with a group, the ratio would still remain the same after all, though I guess the planning part increases since you guys are not thinking alone but rather collaborating instead to think of matches and their winners.

Nope, I deposit, sit in one sitting and ruin my entire bankroll. My gambling session in a nutshell. 
They say two good heads are better than one, I couldn't agree more. Here's a an unconventional betting strategy that me and my friends have come up with to bet on some of the world cup games. I totally love it because we have cashed out about $1000 since the games began. Also, it minimized the losses and everyone goes home happy.
The strategy - We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.

Certainly, any "unconventional" strategy will come out as a winner in this FIFA World Cup.
We are witnessing the result of extremely improbable games taking place in this championship.... consecrated teams are tying and even losing to others that do not have any "favouritism" in football. It's pretty insane.
I'm happy to know that at least someone is making a profit from betting on this world cup, I myself am quite disappointed with some of the results.
But, could you give us more details about these unconventional bets, what are these adopted strategies? Or is this a friends secret?
It's indeed probably better to discuss bets with other people. Different people may have different analyses on a sports match. So, the more the better. Different factors will be explored easily. Information shared. Various aspects of a match will be carefully weighed. So, it's generally better this way.
What's probably the challenging part here are the disagreements. One may be strongly convinced, for example, that it is Tunisia that will win, but the majority think that it is France. So the money goes to France. And France lost. The one who earlier insisted that the money should have been wagered on Tunisia will regret and probably feel a little resentment and could even blame his/her friends. He/she could even doubt his/her friends way analyzing matches.
Believe me, this happens even among friends, especially if money is involved. The blame game could arise anytime. That's why I prefer to gamble solo.

For me it has a lot of advantages -

- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.
- We have a budget and we stick to it. It sorts of builds accountability.

I don’t usually go for partnership or betting with shared capital from friends when it comes to gambling. It’s just that I don’t have trusted friends around when it comes to gambling. But I believe your own strategy will certainly work and has good advantages on it. You can share the risk of losing which will help you not to fall in gambling addiction, and it can also increase the capacity or the chances to win since your bets are well spread with a good amount of bets. My only doubt is whenever one of you will insist his own bet because he thinks that will create higher chances of winning, that would be another problem if ever.

Overall, you just did great on your set of picks. Your analysis with your friends turned out good and it gives you a decent profit already.
There is really nothing special there as it's now common nowadays to have that coop-type of betting wherein you will find a partner/s and share betting capital with them for a much more chance to gain good profits.
However, what if your bets turned out that bad then no thread like this will be created, right?
Congratulations that your group was able to have a good run in your World Cup betting.

Wow, this is good idea which I am tempted to try out, but then, I can't since I am a lone guy, I don't have friends I hang out or move around with, but this is sure a good way to not only minimize of effect of loosing money on betting, it's also like you said, a good way to really bond with friends and have fun.The strategy - We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games.

And the strategy is very good most especially if you have trusted friends and they trust you too, I wouldn't want to imagine a case where by you guys won a huge amount of money and the one in charge or with access to the account secretly runs away to go and cash out the winnings alone somewhere else, I've heard of such a case here on this forum...
So trust is indeed all that matters here, I wish you and your friends good luck in your world cup betting adventures, but remember to bet responsibly.
Listening to interviews of athletes prior to an event and psychoanalyzing their speech patterns is one unconventional strategy I've used in the past.
For MMA I've noticed there are some statements that correlate with winning or losing. For example.
"My opponent won't show me anything I haven't seen before." (Can indicate they're not being tested in the gym and have holes in their game)
"He has no skill, he's only successful because he uses steroids." (Hater talk, can indicate a losing mentality)
"I want to be the best fighter who ever lived." (What most of them say when they can't think of anything original)
Sometimes you can tell when they're not motivated, not working hard and showing up for a paycheck. Which makes it easier to bet the other side with a good win rate.

But I am thinking the disadvantage of this is what you called strategy, first it should be a trusted friend that will have the responsibility of the fund. Second, it could make trouble when you have opposite predictions from him. Minimizing losses is not a guarantee here because everything in betting is unpredictable and no one knows what will happen. Reducing the chance of being addicted could be helpful here but the worst thing is when it comes to both of you becoming addicted. Bonding would be the right approach and budget amount that you gamble.

I don't understand what your unconventional strategy is? Combining the perceived knowledge of three people into a decision? Maybe you are wiser than the average betting trio, but you might have just as easily fluked a few wins and overestimate your actual skills in a tiny subset of games. Overconfidence has been the downfall of many gamblers over time and your first few sentences about pooling money is kinda irrelevant to any strategy. In what way do you think you are minimizing losses? I see none. Sure it might be helpful for bonding - but this only really applies while you're winning and could have the opposite effect after a few losses. What accountability is there meant to be? Somebody has to place the bet or come up with the idea? At best it is "crowd sourcing" bets and there are already much bigger markets out there doing this.

My only strategy is just self discipline and control when it comes to my finances since I only bet on my own and not with friends having to share for the bet. But I really like the one you are suggesting OP, if only I can also find some friends that can be reliable and not greedy when it comes to money. I just hope that everything will work well on your sharing of winnings, and that not one of you will think on taking advantage on the others just because of money.

-Does it minimize losses? ❎
- Reduces addiction? Maybe yes or maybe not.
-Way of hanging out? Yes, it is really good as long you do have that fun. ✅
As long you do stick out with your plans and agreeing on each everyones decisions and dont really end up on some arguments
then it should be find but i do believe on others words about that this might or possibly built up some complications
if not done it right.
It's just good because there will be more brains to analyze the game but it's not different from tailing a bet, like on this forum. Those who share their picks and a bunch of gamblers follow it which means it could really hit the winning ticket.
I am happy you are doing it with your friends, I just hope it won't create a conflict when you win big and also about how the profits will be shared if you have different amounts that were put in.
Not really a strategy but more like enhancing the way to enjoy every game with money on the line.
Well, they say 2 heads are better than one, so its obvious that you guys can create more chances of winning since all of you will contribute good analysis on the game. Aside from that, you and your friends develop socialization since there will be a lot of interaction between you and your friends. And I think if ever you lose huge amount in your bets, that would not be so hurting and frustrating, because you know you only bet on the amount all of you can afford to lose. I am happy you are doing it with your friends, I just hope it won't create a conflict when you win big and also about how the profits will be shared if you have different amounts that were put in.

Im not really a fan on making out some betting out of pooled funds or something that had been together with someone because chances or odds that it would really cause up some problems is really high.Come to think that not all the times you would really be agreeing to each other which means if the other one had make out some losses consecutively then pretty sure you would really be blaming him out.
On this situation, it did really just turn out that you are being lucky or profitable out of those bets but it doesnt mean that this method does really work or does have
significant chances of adding up your winning probability which is something an impossible thing.

just curious, how do you guys make the final decision on what odds bet on? because I can't help but think that there must be one person in your group who disagrees with the decision.Soccer has 3 possible outcomes... Win, Lose, or Draw, and if you and your friend bets on 2 of them, then the odds are on your side, but here the issue is: One of your bets will always lose. So, even if you are making a profit, this is not the max profit because while you reduce the risk you reduce the profit too.
But the strategy sounds nice and is great to read that you and your friends already made $1000 from it, so, keep it up.
just to clarify, you thought that he and his friends are betting multiple times on the same game? I don't think they are doing that. the OP said that he and his friends are betting on at least 3 games per day on the WorldCup. But the strategy sounds nice and is great to read that you and your friends already made $1000 from it, so, keep it up.
I don't think a group betting strategy will be effective, especially since gamblers don't like partnership. One can discuss and analyze the match with a friend, but being a betting partner with others does not guarantee for you long-term profit, which is why I do not like such games.
I also agree that it is not a real strategy but simply a way of betting between two players.
probably, having a budget and saving allowing "all in bets" is already a strategy but players who share this mode are no longer needed and the number of games is also absolutely variable.
Good luck with your gambling efforts

I have a group of buddies who does the same thing and have been for some time. However it doesn't seem to go as smoothly as it seemingly has for you guys. They are constantly fighting trying to decide which bets they should make as well as who should be storing the funds. They use bitcoin and they've just kept the funds on either an exchange or gambling site, which as pissed off those in the group who know better.
For me personally I'm riding solo, too many people creates too much confusion in my eyes.

It's good to see you have someone to discuss with before you bet. For some of us are just checking on our own and reading some analysis of someone else. If you bot are making a profit from what you are doing then why not. I'm not however comfortable having a partner who involves betting my money even if we are friends. I hope you guys win more and celebrate more and do not end up fighting over the money you won.
Well, it’s a good strategy I guess if all of you end up equally profitable if you win, and also when you lose. Because when we gamble, we should not only focus on the profits alone, but also the fun and the entertainment it offered to us, and seems you are your partners are benefiting from it. However, on my part, I used to bet alone, I used to win and lose alone. And somehow I also learned from my gambling’s winnings and losses every now and then. Jump to:
