Gonna make it right, do other people think that also as what you did.
It came into the realization that we should control ourself otherwise will loss everything we have and even our love ones.

It's very bad if one day you will be in the situation, losing your love ones because of gambling is jut a bis stupid mistake.

Do online bettings make fun and aren't be addictive for me, I only bet when I want to especially when seeing that there is assurance of winning. I have more responsibility and so I limit my bets for every game.

Your matured way of thinking will let you continue enjoying gambling, that gives fun but we should not give our full time to it, we should also prioritize those who are more important and that helps us to succeed in life.

Gambling does not give financial success, it's our job and our business, gambling is created for us to spend our money to it.

Naaah it was ok at the time because I was young, single and had no responsibilities.
Now it's different, I have a wife and lots of things to deal with. I'm already "betting" on Bitcoin, that's enough lol.
But I gotta admit it's very tempting at times.

Now this is why you’re free from gambling. Its truly loves that saves you from this trap.
I know your family will be the best reason for you not to continue gambling.

Gambling is not a trap but yeah love wins all the time . love is powerful and as a result , we can forget our habit. I was once a gambler but not totally addicted however after i met my girl , i then decided to limit my self playing because i now conserve money to treat my love one and i guess that is more important and for sure everyone also does that . am i right ? Or am i left ?

You’ve got a lot of good strategies on your gambling days and I’m so amazed for your betting activities in just one day. IMO, you’re already addict in gambling but I admire you a lot for being so good in controlling yourself. Every gambler must have control on their self so they will not be broke and regret later on.

A good source of diverting your attentions, oh well that tools really works, knowing your priorities and engaged yourself with other activities instead of pushing forward and take more risk, good job to you since even you are tempted to play back you already resisting and you already have a lots of confidence controlling yourself not to engaged again, hope you'll continue doing that and not to come back and take the risk again.

Mate, please bet again, you seem to be expert in gambling.
With your experience, I believe you can still find the success in gambling, you said you win most of the time but due to bad
bankroll management, you loss all your money. With that weakness, it's easy to adjust if you have the skills now to control yourself, keep betting never stop because gambling is very entertainment and more if winning is more on your side many time.

I believe you will try some time, gambling is really tempting because I don't believe when you quit, that love of gambling is already gone.
With the increasing number of sports book now, I think it's worth a try, it's different now, it's more fun.
Sorry for convincing you, I just want you to play again mate. Grin

I am going to test your strategy with small bets maybe in La Liga championship, but I would like to combine 2 games with one bet. It has more risk but it can give me more profit. Is it feasible to do so?

Never been a big fan of combos honestly.
I prefered to bet more on a safer bet.

Very interesting strategy. Still, I can't understand how you lost money as you said in the beginning that you made a profit. Was that a gross profit?
I am going to test your strategy with small bets maybe in La Liga championship, but I would like to combine 2 games with one bet. It has more risk but it can give me more profit. Is it feasible to do so? Maybe the teams that I would be will be of the same ranking.

I have never tried but I heard of a local guy who bets on Football and his bets are always on a draw. He picks a team or several and bets they will play a draw every match. If his bet wins he starts the cycle all over again. If his bet losses he doubles the next bet on the same team.
I haven't given much though about this system, what do you guys think?

I am a relatively new gambler and a casual gambler. I have played very few times in an offline casino and have been always fascinated by the online casinos.

I know many persons who used to play backgammon with money in old times, by old times I mean in the 2000 as I am not that old.

Patience is key virtue together with bankroll management but this does not guarantee winning in the long term although many say it is doable.

Everything you wrote is true and I can feel you are really a real gambler.
I'm into sports betting too that's why I can relate to what you wrote, I've been very greedy in the past as I was too expose in gambling, imagine
having your whole day with gambling and you still end up losing, that's me and it really hurts because you did your effort, risk your money but did not get anything, except for the lessons I get.

I realized that it's very important to control myself, researching is also important but I have to implement what I read into action.
Bankroll management is one of the key to success and because I can control myself now, then I guess my chance to win will grow, but I still have to find it out since my journey is sure to be long.

Bankroll management, this is very important knowing when to bet and how much the allocations as you need to control not to be completely burned out, this stories are very common to those aggressive gamblers, the taste of wins make them more hungry each time they see the odds, thinking that the knowledge and information that they've gathered will bring them edge to win the match.

Being responsible gamblers most of the time need to suffer big mistakes, you will learn that enjoyment will terminate addictions after you completely overcome your emotions and you'll be able to have full control of your greediness.

as you are stating , you found a good system or a good pattern that seems to work which means if you keep betting on this market you should profit anyways without the need of doubling your stake each time you lose ( assuming the pattern or the system you found is actually profitable and +EV )

As you probably understood, I ended up losing a lot.
But I think, I'm not 100% sure though, that it's doable, you can win this way. But there are many many factors to take into consideration here : patience, not being greedy, betting on the right sport...
Like I said, I didn't post here to suggest you how to gamble... lol god no, I wouldn't dare doing that.
I just wanted to share my own experience and maybe see if you guys can relate. The topic was not about martingale or any other system... just maybe an introduction of myself here.

I think that's everyone's challenge, to be fix and constant and prevent themselves from being greedy. I think the part with the emotion can be compared with trading. It should be emotionless but the constant fear and anxiety that surrounds your decision, is it going to be positive or a negative result? If it's a win, you feel great, and you would feel invincible, but if it's negative, it's the end of the world type of feeling, especially if you thought it was a 100% bet that you would win.

I think everyone has been there (if you are a gambler) and losing touch isn't the problem, the fear of gambling again is, and the longer you're scared, the more you can affect your predictions. I think with your experience with gambling is excellent, and you could continue to gamble, I'm not advising you, but your experience says it all. You need more control over your emotions.

you were using martingale in sportsbetting which is really wrong in sportsbetting , I made a topic few months ago about how bad martingale is using real stats from a professional gambler who is actually good in betting . Feel free to check it : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.46061753

the only way to make money in sportsbetting is value betting , meaning you need to keep searching in bookies for odds that you think is way too good for the possibility of it winning
if you are really good in analyzing and calling good prices then you will have success in the long run

Thank you for answering.
I read the thread you posted and agree... in parts.
But I do believe martingale can work in sports betting (better than in casino) if you chose the right bet. I gave the example of the Dutch soccer championships, how I would only bet on the most scoring teams and how I would be patient before placing my bet (wait at least a few games under 3 before placing an over 3).
That means strategy, analyzis of the sport are also involved (knowing how it works).
Like I said, my mistake was placing too many bets, not analyzing enough the safety of each of them. The most money I lost wasn't actually in this type of bets, it was mainly in the live bets I placed.

P.S : I apologize if I'm not using the right terms here... like I said, this was a long time ago.
Oh and I didn't know that so many threads were made about this. It wasn't my intention to restart the whole debate lol.

as you are stating , you found a good system or a good pattern that seems to work which means if you keep betting on this market you should profit anyways without the need of doubling your stake each time you lose ( assuming the pattern or the system you found is actually profitable and +EV )

by doing martingale you may face a downswing that may last for over 20 bets and by doing so you are risking your whole bankroll
so what's the point in risking all of your bankroll when you can actually profit by betting steadily instead of raising the stake once you lose

swings happen a lot in gambling no matter how good you are or how top quality the bets you make are there will be a point where you will face a long losing streak

I used to bet on Eurobet, it was the only available foreigner sportbook to play online, back then SNAI one of the famous Italian betting site was in their beginning and lagging features compared to Eurobet, I am nostalgic of that time as the games were easier to guess than now so back then I used to win more than I do now, I do not complain, I win regularly in sport betting but back then was another thing. Ah the nostalgia....
