No bet is a waste when someone bet in their favorite team/player.
Yes, when you bet for your favorite team and player and you think that they're about to win but then it turns out that they've lost. That's not really a problem for you to be thinking about. That's gambling, we either win or lose and that's it. We just have to move on with our bets and enough is enough. We have to try again and be better with our next bets and who knows with that next bet, either with our favorite teams/players or not, as long as you think that you've got a chance to win then that's all about the phase in gambling. We win, we lose, we bet again and do analysis again if it's ever needed but then if you're not the yolo type of bettor then you won't be compromising your money by doing bets without any analysis.
IMO, actually the saying "no bet is a waste" is just a figure of speech. We can interpret the meaning of these words broadly and depend on our own point of view.
Well, referring to what you said. when we bet on the team that is the favorite, or bet on the team that we support, all of that is fine even though in the end our favorite team loses. but because they played well, even though they lost, it was worth it. or we can define it in another way, depending on our own. which at its core, the title of this thread is just allegory. it could also, to motivate us gamblers. anyway, the point the OP was referring to in the thread was to share his betting tips.
Talking about a gamble, basically, every gamble we're going to make. must be accompanied by knowledge, yes, knowledge regarding what we are betting on. Get to know before making a bet, analyze the two teams that will compete, both from formations, players, systems, rotations, injuries, odds, options, and all things related to betting. after that, then we decided to bet. this too, could fall into a category like the title of this thread. so, no bet is a waste. if, done right.
Absolutely! "no bet is a waste" echoes the sentiment of "victories and defeats intertwine". Losing? It's a vexing enigma!
Nonetheless, risks harbor a tantalizing allure. Life is but a fleeting moment, and occasionally, we must cast the die into the unknown, embracing serendipity. Refrain from gambling your entire fortune on a single equine contender! Possessing surplus currency and sensing the winds of fortune? Venture forth!
Bear in mind, gambling should evoke exhilaration, not anxiety. If mirth eludes you, bid adieu to the game.
