Topic: Sports betting strategies (Read 460 times)

You are doing well, but keep in mind that results can change over time. Betting, like sports or basketball, has its ups and downs. Stay consistent with your patience, don't change your strategy without proper evaluation, and assess if you are still making a profit in the long run. Give it some time, perhaps around three months, to determine if your method continues to be profitable.

Gambling cannot be win win all the time, and this was where you misunderstood what gambling is. You should also note that it is impossible for anyone to make a living from gambling, and if that person is not careful, he will end up becoming an addict. This is because like you said, you were betting with little odds, and it was working for you, but when you had the confidence that you are going to win the game, you decided to bet with all the money in your account and lost it all in one casino game. This is how gambling is, a gambler will not be satisfied with his small wins, even though it is constant, and will risk all the money his account for just one big one, and at the end of the game, he will lose it all. This is why gambling should be done for fun, and not to earn a living, so that we don't use the money that we cannot afford to lose to gamble

Well i kept winning for a while, put some more money to other casino, to start gambling there too, as i wanted to raise my account level. and made my initial bet on original casino very high, so it was happening super fast, and i kept slowly raising the stakes. I even did the math how long with this rate i would be rich.

I started to feel that i had figured out a money making machine. In disbelief as i didn't understand how that would even work. I didn't even have a slightest theory why it is working, because i kept thinking it's mathematically not likely to keep winning. But as i was making money, so i didn't care.

Then all it took was last night. I had bet everything and after i woke up, found out that most bets i had set for the night were lost, so i lost almost all of my bets on one casino and over half in another one. I am now pondering what happened. I was unlucky for sure, i should leave it to that.

But maybe i was also gambling too recklessly. Making more and more bets, becaise i didn't wan't to raise bets too much i kept having more bets, not just bigger bets. I didn't keep up what i've already betted, i just wanted to bet everything. I don't recall making horrible choices though. Some were risks that seemed worth it.

Well, easy come, easy go. I keep on trying again.


I made some combination bets, which one of them i cashed out since i didn't realise i included games happening far in the future. I lost everything that has over 3 games on them.
In fact i don't ever remember remember winning in any other way then chickening and cashing out.

I prefer sporting betting because most often it usually have higher chances of turning out a winner when making careful live picks, so most often I pick between basketball and football because I have some good knowledge in both of these sports I just mentioned and know how well to make my picks but not all the time it turns a winner.

For football there are teams I know are good at getting a good number of goals before the game is over so I wait when this game has started already and they have a goal ahead obviously they would most likely get more goals so I just placed a bet on them getting a goal or two more although the odds are usually Small but then you would have to get a good staking power to get a reasonable profit from it or you can be patient enough to roll it over gradually same applies to basketball but it's not 100% guaranteed a winner all the time.

The most important thing is that we can look for more information so that it can help our analysis. We can find teams that have the potential to win compared to their opponents. After finding a team that has the potential to win, we can place a bet on that team, but we must remember that the bet we place must be adjusted to the funds we have. We must be able to regulate how many bets we want to place and not bet more than the amount we can afford so that we can avoid even bigger losses. We have to be responsible for the bets we want to place, so we have to determine the amount of money we want to use to bet.

I haven't tried sportsbetting online but I tried this through an illegal outlet usher here in our local area. 😅 I place bets with boxing, basketball and any other sportbetting but my strategy is that I choose the best of the best and I also am referring to the history and records of the said team before placing.

That cannot be possible for me because I also like to do some live betting occasionally. Don't worry about me; that cash-out button does not bother me at all. I've matured in gambling already, and I know how to focus on things. As I mentioned before, I don't find that cash-out button interesting as it kills the thrill in gambling.

If you are a gambler, you don't retreat. 

That is a good thing about sports betting which we don't just rely fully on luck as we have the chance to win when putting those teams that higher potential of winning. This is gambling, we could think that placing our bet to a winning team could always win but unfortunately, it never works always. Well, some of us had put their bets in support with the team and even we know that they couldn't win the game, still we give faith from them. Because in sports betting it is not all about putting bets on the strong team but also, we bets on our favorite team.

The best way to avoid the temptation of pressing the cash-out button is to stay away from the device until the game is over. You see, sports betting is a crucial king of gambing because the only thing that could determine your fate is the players or team. We can't predict the flow of the game of a sport; there are a lot of things that could happen during the match and uncertainty. That's the thrill part of sports betting: betting on a team that you think will have a chance to win and you want to win. I guess the ones that mostly do the cashing out thing are the ones that are not truly fans of a sport or who have little knowledge or information about the sport and the team they are betting on, and they are the ones that don't trust their decision. You see, if you can't hold on to your decision or to the team you bet on until the end of the match, then better don't do sports betting, because in this betting, you should watch the match until the end, whether you win or lose.

Another important aspect of sports betting is to make long term profits from football betting which requires a lot of hard work and time for research. Therefore it is best to stay organized and create a clear roadmap to succeed. Although there are many gambling sites out there not all are the same. The best sportsbooks usually offer players better odds more markets and a safer all around experience so do enough research on this topic. Football has betting market like double chance first team and many more. Therefore research to find out which betting market is suitable for the event.

There is a lot of risk in that strategy, honestly, even if you think that it's a safe approach, it isn't since you can't keep winning all the time, and as you said, only a couple of losses will bring you back to where you started from and all your time and hard work will simply be wasted. I would prefer betting $100 with 1.5 odds to win $50 instead of risking $1,000 to win $50 with 1.05 odds because sometimes, things change at the last moment, and the team winning will suddenly start losing.

I'm not trying to discourage or demotivate you with your strategy, but it's what it is, and I say that because I have faced it. I also made live bets in the past, and I remember in one match where the favorites were already way ahead of their opponent and I placed a large bet for just 1.05x in return, unfortunately, the favorites lost the match and I lost my money.

The cash-out feature isn't really there to help us cut losses; it's more like the sportsbook has the upper hand with their calculations. To keep it straightforward, just go with the flow and hope for that win in the end, in my opinion. Trying to play the cash-out game becomes a stress-fest, especially if you're handling a bunch of bets regularly. Monitoring all those games just to hit the cash-out button at the right moment feels more like a trading session than good old-fashioned gambling and that takes away the thrill.

I really avoid making bets with very low odds, something like games with odds of less than 1.60, this is because when a person keeps making bets with very low odds that person can have a winning streak of many games, but all it takes is for that person to lose. in just a few games to end up with losses. For example, imagine that you place bets with odds of 1.10 and win 10 consecutive games. All you have to do is place the same amount of money you have been betting and lose twice, so that you lose all the money you won in the 10 consecutive games. see how painful it will be, spending 10 games doing a lot of analysis, winning and having high expectations

and then have 2 defeats and lose everything. Honestly this is something very annoying, I don't place bets with low odds unless I place a multibet bet. I talked about low odds because that is exactly what has been found in live games most of the time and as people think that if they are in a live game with 20 minutes left and the favorite team is winning and has odds of 1.15 then it will stay placing bets on games with this low odds value with this scenario then you will always be right.

The person can even have more than 20 consecutive successes, but the problem will always be when they have a loss. The profits are very low, which means that with just a few defeats, a person can lose their entire bankroll. now when you are in front of a live game with odds above 2.00 and the person gets it right, then you will make a profit in the long term

I ever post about this on other thread


Choose any sports you like because you need to know the teams or at least follow the news of that sports.
Do not place many bets all together, just dont.

I have thought about being more active with gambling in this manner.  I do a decent amount of sports betting in general, but I typically bet before the games and not during.  I will however bet live at times when I think a team scores first and gets lucky, as I don't think they'll keep it up, so placing bets after the first score is something that I try and utilize, but not as often as maybe I should.  Other than that, I get a bit spooked with betting live.

for the time i have been betting, i waited til the game was over even when the team i bet for was losing. its not a healthy strategy. one situation that will help is when an NBA match scores 58 - 94, that's really hard to swallow. even if luck gives my team 10 turnovers in the last quarter, they can't win.

if you can do something to minimize your loss especially when luck is not on your side. it's the kind of option you would want to do as part of your plan.
the bookmakers added this option though so you might as well use it. but in the last ew minutes of the last quarter or in the last rounds of boxing, the bookmakers cancel this cashout option.

I can't stand that cash-out feature, honestly. I wish they never came up with it. We thought it would be a game-changer, but it just turns us into losing our confidence. I mean, we gamble because we're not afraid to take a risk, right? So why not ride out the game and see where it takes us? This cash-out thing can really tempt us to bail, and there are times when luck is on our side, we could've hit the jackpot, but nope, we second-guess ourselves, hit cash out, and bam, missed out on the big win.

sometimes when it feels like the team you are rooting is not going to make it, it pays to just cash out to salvage what little you can get back. even in the 4th round afaik the bookie will still allow us to cash out.  the best part of doing the live betting is for this purpose i think.

the availability of that cash-out button made me feel safer. but anticipating that our team will win in the end also burst the thrills in us that's why it's tempting to just hold on to the hopes. i have this kind of situation where i was about to click that button but kept watching the game until it was too late to cash out.

In each strategy, even if we think it's the best that we can ever imagine, there will always be a loss on it that we can experience and it's normal because this is gambling and all kinds of gambling always involve some luck, even if it's only small and we can't control our luck. Watching the game live and at the same time betting on it, can be called as a strategy for some sports bettors but this can also be called as an experience.

This makes sports betting fun and thrilling. If you are a long-time sports bettor, you will know that some outcomes are possible, although I know that many of us can repeat the same mistakes again. It sucks when it happens.

In my locality, we've a saying that if you want to eat a frog, go for the one that has oil, so that if something goes wrong people would say you have a good taste. I call the 1.05 multipler the devil's blade and I cannot stake on it but if you've a system that works for you, then you should stick with it.

It's been a while I play inplays, I do bet on sport betting and it's more enjoyable if you're streaming the game. My favourite markets are goal and corner markets. I pick leagues that like scoring goals, and I normally wait still 8 - 10 mins after kickoff before placing my bet so that the odd would increase, then I bet on over 0.5 HT and my win rate is good.
