Would do it if you were to begin sports betting again or jump right straight into the real thing?

This depends on the situation of my finances. If I have the money to bet on the sport then why should I use a demo and bet on paper that does not yeiled me anything? I would only consider this strategy if I do not have the amount of money to bet on the game.

As far as I know in sportsbetting, the information, skills and knowledge acquired about the competing team will enhance the possibility of winning. So, if I already made the preparations and effort to analyze the possible outcome of the fight, it would be a waste of energy and time if I had the fund but I did not bet a real amount on it.

Demo is a good thing, it helps you get accustomed to the gambling patterns before going into the real thing and is essential for proper understanding and reduction of the complications people face while gamboling, especially when they're new to it. During my early days in gambling, there was nothing like a demo and I struggled terribly, lost a lot of funds before getting accustomed to the offline gambling patterns, sometimes I was even a laughing stock among my peers when I ask for clarifications from them about betting patterns I'm yet to fully understand.

All these difficulties I experienced could be averted if I simply had a demo to work with properly before actually engaging in it. So I'll go for paper gambling before diving into the real thing.

But the thing is, sportsbetting does not have a pattern since the result is dependent on the performance of the players and the current moral/spirit of the team. One simple change in-game strategy of the competing team can completely change the result, so I think there is no gambling pattern in sportsbetting.

Gambler with ambition to be successful in the long run would try this. Writing in paper and see the results for a span of time is good, once you are convince, you can start with real money. However, the most challenging part is on how to be discipline with risking money since it's quite different when you are just writing on paper without a bet than betting with real money. It's more like the actual vs theory thing, but in order for you to follow your strategy, what's in the theory (on paper), that should be followed and maybe adjustments will be made along the way, but never loss your discipline in managing your funds.

trying out paper betting first is like dipping your toes in the water before diving in. It's all about making picks without actually putting any money on the line. Kind of like practice runs in demo trading. It's a smart move to get the hang of things without risking your cash right away. By tracking your picks without the pressure of real money, you can learn the ropes and fine-tune your strategies. So yeah if I were starting over I'd definitely give paper betting a shot before jumping into the real action

I would prefer to gamble with the real thing, and if the reason is to be able to learn then we can use real money but with a small amount so that we can immediately feel the pressure of the bet, because only using a demo account there will be no pressure felt, just like a demo trading account, unless what is offered from the gambling site is a very different thing or still gives a prize when players reach a certain rank.

Short answer Is no.
I don't think it's a good strategy.
When you don't risk money, you play differently. And moneymanagement is an essential part of Gambling.
More over if you play without money ... Its like to drink a glass of wine without alcohol..if you don't have fun and better let it go and have another hobbie.

Imagine if they're actually profit in paper betting, but they're in loss when they bet using real money. They might don't believe what have they done and they're keep thinking they will able to make money because they might be unlucky before.

There's difference between paper betting and real betting, in paper betting you don't care with analysis and emotion, while in real betting you could easily change your picks because you're worried if you lose.

I've tried but I don't find it fun... What I did is just I bet a small amount only so I could still somehow feel the thrill, a little one. The plan was to increase the bet once I can already see the consistency, meaning I should have a good winning percentage. Actually the real challenge here is on setting up a decent bankroll and managing it.

Rules though or sports betting are very easy, if you are a beginner, you can just bet on the teams that you think who will win that's it. And then as you go along, you might see options like handicap or multi-betting which makes it more exciting.

And for sure majority of gamblers didn't started this way, they go bet online or even with others to see who will win, that's it. Very easy to understand. Getting into this kind of demo mode will just delay the inevitable in my opinion. That you're going to fall in love with it and become addicted.

I do not see why not, in my case I paper traded for months before doing so for real, so that kind of experience will not be odd to me at all, the only difference is that I do not really have any hopes of making any money while gambling, so making such an effort for months seems like a waste, as I could do something else with my time.

That being said, those that have hopes of turning professional gamblers through sport bets, will do well to try this and see if their strategy holds up when used on the real world.

Although I don't need this to start somewhere again if I'm going to get into sports betting since I don't need some refresher. But I do see those that want to try it for their first times like having a play money, this is just for fun and might helpful for them. If you are fearing of losing your money and just want to test how good you are then you can always get into paper betting or any of these play money just to have fun. Because if you don't have anything to do and yet you don't have money to gamble and bet some with your favorite sports and the casino that you use have this or you know a platform that supports this kind of feature then you can simply enjoy.

But in return, you are not expecting real money to come to you because you're playing to have fun with those paper betting or play money and that's not convertible to cash but I think of it as a way like a training ground for someone who's training himself to have some good experience in betting. You can improve your skills doing this and you'd get to see how well you're doing on it.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)

It is a good way to practice for the newbies and a good way to analyze your decision making skills. When you are doing this on paper try to write out the reasoning as to why you thought a specific event outcome to come or not come. That way when the event happens you can look back at where you went wrong or right.

However sports betting still carries a luck factor in it so you might not be able to do justice with your predictions. If that happens, dont bother because it betting and is supposed to be like that.

It is an alternative to which those who do not have experience and would like more than to earn money to be entertained should go, in my case I would not do it, I can assume at sports betting losses without problems.

Not just you mate, many other gamblers won't do it and it could be considered to be a waste of time in doing that when the game gambling is not about how much time you take to learn about it that determines how often or consistently your winnings will be coming in but basically determined by chance if you will win or lose.

Furthermore, sports betting shouldn't be that had for a pure beginning in as much as he has some ideas about the team's and the rules of play in that particular sport he's interested in making his predictions on for a bet. Football for instance, as a football fan you don't need be told a team like Manchester City is with high chances of winning a team like Aston Villa in a match, it's just for you to go ahead with a straight win for Man. City and that's how it begins down to other gambling options as you proceed. Right?

It is a waste of time. It is not even games that I do not know about but sport betting. I bet on sports that I know. That is why I prefer to just go for football. I know everything and what I need to go for without any demo. Demo is used by people that wants to know something but do not want to use their money to learn the thing. I know about sport betting and I can not go for paper betting.

I preferred to learn through my experience on gambling because it’s just a based on luck even if I do some analysis on a game. There’s a lot of unknown variables that affect a game such as star player not performing well, injury and other unforeseen event. I just use small amount whenever I’m still on this learning phase and increase gradually when the result is looking good until I hit a bumps of lose which means I start again from scratch.

I usually watch a lot of matches on a same league before I place a bet and enter to my learning phase of actual betting. Nothing is wrong when playing using paper bet but there’s really no fun if there’s no money involved.

Yeah, there's still a part where you can win based on luck, but the thing is, analysing and formulating a strategy to formulate your decision is a must even in sports betting, and it gives those sports bets more chances of winning if you carefully analyse the game or the two opposing teams or players. That's why being updated on the sports you are betting on is important, so you can know or have an idea who will win or not.

I like sports betting, and it makes up my whole gambling career, meaning I mostly do sports betting rather than gambling, such as relying on luck. Sports betting is my number one gambling game, and second is card game-based gambling because it does not rely on luck more. So I'd rather play sports betting than every other gambling game, and if I have to start playing paper-based betting, then I'm open to exploring it.

The importance of paper betting just like paper trading should be limited to helping the gambler master the gambling environment, the rules and various gambling options. It should never be used as the real gambling experience because gambling with real money is totally different from paper gambling. The simple proof is that in paper gambling, emotions are not engaged, the gambler is scared of losses because it is not real money. But in real gambling, emotions are active, the feeling of fear alone can result to mistakes and eventually losses. In demo trading, almost all traders make profits and find trading so easy but when real capital is involved, everything changes, the once winning strategy will start to give losing streak. This will not be any different from gambling the reason I suggest any newbie gambler should fund small amount of money and test gambling with it rather than using paper gambling.

For me, no. But I'll recommend it for beginners. It would help beginners to understand the basics of sports betting with the financial risk. Track picks, analyze outcomes, refine your strategies, and gain confidence before wagering real money. All in all it still depends on an individuals personal choice if paper betting or use real money. Take time to learn and practice.

I would love to print out previous results and do a thorough research and do some analysis on past performance, past results, how many goals achieve in each match and summarise them to give me atleast %90 accurate predictions despite I know that gambling is a game of luck but chances of winning will be higher than chances of loosing.

If a starting gambler knows his sport then I bet he will jump the gun and start betting with money at risk. Plus, the best part of today's sports bookies is they are not expensive. You can bet to as low as $0.09 in one sport and you can even boost the odds by making a parlay if there's a feature added to boost it.
I don't think this will work out in today's era considering how cheap the minimum bet is. I mean, for me I'd rather take my chances on that and spice up the game because I put money on the line.
Also, the ease of access to all the information about sports is out on the internet so making the winning chances higher is easy. But, maybe I want to try those kinds of things just for experience. I mean, that's old school and it could be fun.
