Topic: Single or accumulation, which one do you prefer when it comes to sport betting - page 4. (Read 600 times)

A sucker bet is a gambling wager in which the expected return does not reflect the odds of winning, and is significantly lower.

As a sports bettor that I am, I believe that he is saying this in the sense that parlay is seen as if it were a bet that the person is making relying solely on luck, this is because the person adds many games and places a bet before the cast is announced. will play and many times when the person makes the parlay they cannot be sure that they will play and sports bettors who consider themselves professionals have criticized multibets. for a concrete example of what I'm talking about: yesterday in the premier league there were two games, the tottenham game in which I had a decent odds and the arsenal game in which I had odds of 1.35

For sports bettors who like parlays, they could make a parlay placing Arsenal to win and Tottenham to win and with that they would have a bet with a very high odds, convinced that Arsenal would have an easy victory because their opponent was a weak opponent who they were coming from a sequence of 3 consecutive defeats, so it was a game in which on paper the arsenal would win easily. but for bettors who do not parlay and make simple bets, they would not bet on the arsenal because it had low odds and because the arsenal in the last few games showed difficulty in scoring goals, so the bettor who makes simple bets would not run the risk of betting on over goals or under goals

Also, the sports bettor who makes simple bets would have bet on Tottenham to win only after he saw the list of the squad that would play and confirmed that Tottenham would play with all its best players, if any good Tottenham player was not in the starting 11 he I wouldn't bet. So this is the difference between the multi bettor and the singles bettor. but multi bets give more profit, especially when the person knows how to place good games in the parlay, in the long term the multi pays off, while simple bets don't pay off in the long term

I do both but if I bet large amounts I choose to bet on a single bet which is more comfortable and for me single bet can give me a lot time to do analysis.
but when I want to bet with big odds I just use a small bet and choose a parlay bet to try my luck.

most of what I see in the soccer betting section is that many bettors use single bet and parlay bet, they use both because it suits their goals, if they are sure that a single match can produce big profit, they only bet on one match, but when they are curious with some matches they choose parlay bets and I am really sure almost 80% on this forum like both.

I currently have game that will run till 14th of June 2024.

It all depends on what I want to achieve I’m a huge fan of slots and other casino game betting but when it comes to sport betting I usually for accumulated or single game depending on the amount that I want to wager. If I should go for accumulated game I usually risk a very low amount of money on the game, but if I’m looking to either play a game to increase my money( if lucky) without having to have multiple risks I Normally go for single games.

Most of my wins in sport betting are from single games although the sides were not that high, from 1.3 to 2.1 odds with majority of them being ~1.3 odds.

Sure single bet always have a small odd for instance the odd of the  match between Man City vs Sheffield United was 1.09 too small to earn a reasonable profit, however accumulating that odd with three or four sure games to 2.00 to 3.00 is enough to earn some decent money when staked with small fund, of course there are other options in soccer betting like both team to score, first half draw etc all these options can be accumulated to 2.00 to 3.00 but you have to do extensive research before picking those games, single bet that has a high odd is when a weak team plays a strong team or predicting a correct score I believe those options are unpredictable.

I do both. But depends to the match I bet on. Normally, parlay (or 'accumulated') bets are more risky than the first one, but it is definitely more exciting! And it is rewarding too!
I do single bets most of the time. I only play parlay once I feel like doing it, also when there is an attractive promotion with parlay betting.

I'm used to doing single bets, although I could do both. But it depends on how much money I have and how much I want to use for each bet.
Often I only place a single bet and there is a possibility that I will place a fairly large bet, especially if I am sure the team I choose can win easily.
But if not, I won't place a big bet and will look for another bet.
Placing a single bet can also prevent confusion in managing the bets we place so we can focus on just one bet.
But if you are used to accumulation betting, it's okay to keep doing it.
It all depends on your betting habits, which will influence how you bet.

Single bets will make it easier to win, but we have to be able to accept that single bets have very low odd.
However, not all single bets will have low odd because if match brings together team or players who are almost equal in quality of play without significant advantage over one of them then the odd can be more than 2.0 and this is decent odd.
It just that each person strategy will be different in the bets they follow, some are chasing big wins by making multi bets, there are also those who are only concerned with the chance of an easier win by choosing single bet.

I personally still use both ways of betting but for single bets perhaps only when there are no other interesting matches.
But if there are lot of matches that are interesting and easy to predict, then I will still prioritize multi bets, even though later when there are one or two matches left, I will cash out at least I can get win with fairly large odd.
But we must always be careful and always observe the progress of the match because just one mistake will destroy all our bets.

What kills most gambler on accumulation is greediness. Imagine when you are try to make millions of dollars with just few cents or $1, then you will need to accumulate more games. The less you accumulate, the higher the chance of winning.

Another thing about choice of betting between single bet and accumulated bet is that in single betting, the bettor will focus solely on one game and learn about the outcome which sometimes makes him very nervous. For instance, if in his single betting he predicted the both teams to score, he's very likely to watch the game while hoping that at the end of the day the two teams are gonna score so if there's any attacking play by any of the teams, he'll be nervously limping for a goal which sometimes wouldn't even be converted.

But when a bettor stakes on accumulated games, there are options in the game that he's very likely to forget during time games and might not even worry himself till the end of the whole games in his slip before checking if he won or not. So when a bettor is not good in managing nervity, accumulated betting I think should be preferred.

I think that single bets are the most profitable because allow to control the progress of a bet.
You can easily make a cashout or just "cover" your loss betting the opposite.
Plus, these kind of bets do not expose gamblers to many factors or events that are unrelated to each other...

Single bet is for those who prefer safety and multi bet is for those who like risk because the risk is proportional to the results that will be obtained if it is correct. Every bettor has different preferences and we will not always be able to find an interesting bet to include in multi, so single bets should still be made and multi bets should be made when we see a chance of winning, and currently I prefer single bets and sometimes use the bet builder feature.

You are talking about profit. Know that gambling is risking. Gamblers should first think about loss before thinking about profit because most probably gamblers can lose than gain.

I remember in the past that I will accumulate more than 10 matches, thinking that I would win, i lost most. Out of the many games that I have accumulated in the past, I think I won not more than 2 or 3. My losses were more.

If I accumulated just like 2 or 3 matches, It gives better profit.

I prefer a single match than to accumulate. But if I still accumulate not more than 3 matches, it is still better for me and gives better results than going for high accumulation.

Single bet for me, don't feel like thinking too much about the other stuff that's happening in the game and trying to make money out of it, I just want an unadulterated fun when I'm gambling because it's probably for the best, less frustrating for me and less stressful. But I still assess the odds though, don't want to be stressed out and then win the bet but I'm still losing because the odds were unknowingly lower than I'd known.

I kept using Single betting because when I gamble? the test of  capacity to wait and enjoy the game is in my Mind so even how long will it takes but single bet from here and there is what i use.
from all  the games that I wanted to enjoy it is single betting so yes only few chances that Accumulated bets is what made my gaming.
and another thing is in Single bet? you come to taste the winning so welcoming .

I prefer to do both. It depends on certain circumstances like if you are betting on very low odds like 1.01 or 1.05. These are bets that are most likely to win but because of the very low odds, it is worthless to bet on them especially if you are only betting low amounts. It is best to accumulate them to increase the odds. But if you are betting on odds like 1.90 or 2.00 or 2.50, it's better be made as a single bet. To include such bets in a parlay is risky.

I mainly focus on single bets because it's the best way to build up your profit overall, but on rare occasions, I still place a couple of accumulators and SGPs if I don't find the main markets appealing.

Accumulators or multi-bets are on the lighter side for me because it's common for one leg to ruin the entire bet, compared to singles, where you focus on a single match. Alternatively, you can make the same sequence of bets through single betting if the matches are a few hours apart.

One of the main advantages of single bets is simplicity. You only need to focus on a single outcome, which can be less confusing and easier to manage than multiple bets on a single ticket. As much as simple bets are ideal for beginners who are just starting to get acquainted with sports betting, I really like them because they take me much less time.
I like to simply choose my favorites, place a bet and then come back to check whether I won or not without worrying about what will happen next.

Naturally, the greater the number of bets on the same ticket, the risks increase, right? Therefore, multiple/accumulated bets cannot be the basis of a bettor's activities... however, for those who want a profit (which is certainly not my case, I play for fun only) accumulator bets should not be left aside. side when you want to amplify your gains.

Normal I gamble a lot on spot games, so I prefer using every bit of the strategy that will at least make me win. If I use the two methods of sport betting, it's either I am lucky with one or both, but in most cases I am always lucky with one. Although I feel the risk is just the same because even if it's an accumulated bet, you might just believe that you have bet on small odds that will most likely not get burst, but the games will still get burst. It's also applicable with a single bet, which you will have no doubt of losing, but it will also get burst. A single bet can get burst just as an accumulated bet would too. Between an accumulated bet and a single bet, there is nothing that I don't like. Sometimes, I even do the two at the same time and am likely to be lucky to win one. In accumulated bets, I can get a better cash out offer while the game is still running, and the cash out is not compared to a single bet, which can just be of little odds, and I don't actually like to stake a huge amount on a single bet because the chance of winning is still 50/50. It's only when the staked amount is huge on a single bet that this will have a huge cash-out offer.

The two betting patterns have advantages and disadvantages. If you are placing a bet on a single bet, then your chances of winning are kind of high because the odds will be low, which will give you high chances of winning. But before you will be able to make a good amount of money, you have to use a large amount of money to gamble. If you gamble with a small amount, then your reward will be small.
 
Also, if you are placing a bet on an accumulated bet, then your chances of winning will be very low since you have many odds, and any little mistake will make the bet go against you, so it’s kind of difficult to win when placing a bet on an accumulated bet. But even if you decide to gamble with a small amount of money, if you are lucky and your bet is correct, then you might be winning a lot of money. You don’t have to gamble with a large amount before winning big when gambling on an accumulated bet. I think with this simple explanation, the Op will be able to understand me.
