Topic: Target your wins in a series of bets - page 4. (Read 688 times)

Following multiple gambling strategies shared in this board, a gambler may end up not enjoying the fun of gambling. Staking games 10 times and expecting 4 wins is not realistic. The wins differ per session and gamblers hoping to win a certain time in a series of bets can be disappointed when the choices don't appear as planned. Calling this type of player investment players wouldn't sound weird. Money spent on gambling is meant to be forgotten, but lots of gamblers can't help, but think about their lost funds. They keep calculating in their mind, ways to get them back. Try again is the best possible answer for them, and no other answer like taking a break suits their expectations. Next thing, you'd notice the anger written on the player's face for losing one more time, with no positive result of getting his funds. Realizing that these occurrences aren't supposed to bother the player is the idea behind gambling.

Staying focused on our daily work and improving productivity to make money and increase our income is quite the focus of anybody. When redirecting this focus on gambling it'll curtail the dreams we've got for other real-life activities. This leads the gambler to feel weird about himself, whenever the losses keep piling up. Watching others win also contributes to irresponsible gambling. Gambling streaming influencers have made newbies jump into gambling without any prior information about what the niche is about; how the money is meant to be managed, time limitations, and responsible gambling. They'll chase the wins like they appeared on their screen when watching the streamer play. Silence also has kept gamblers to remain addicted, trying different strategies that won't work. Speaking up helps gambling to figure out ways of surviving loss chase. Not saying OP's methods ain't great, but they won't work for other, even if the chances of working for him, OP, is also slim. Being realistic in gambling; staying happy and gambling for fun. 

My strategy is very similar to yours specially in sports, as like in 2023 World Cup i made bets for a few matches, When i feel comfortable to make bets in a match in my research then i decided to the bet in which match, I didn’t made bets in the random match where i have no interest. So in betting there are no guarantee if you will make 10 bets and will win 4 bets, i don’t know what 4 wins in 10 bets OP is talking about.

This strategy might be effective for you and may not favor someone else. My question is how are you sure that the four games you focused on will play? You still have to depend on luck for those four bets to play. I think the best option is just to properly analyze games make your predictions and surrender to fate. I don't get depressed over any bet because I place bets based on my financial capacity and I see gambling as entertainment.

One of my friends in the local casino will always advise me to expect nothing from my stakes. He said you will be disappointed if you expect much from gambling. Just expect nothing and something comes, you celebrate your win and move on. And this counsel has saved me from a series of displeasure.

I think when you have a financial problems or need money, that is not the best time to gamble because you will only be making the wrong choices, you wouldn't make the right choices and the chances of winning will always be low. However, I want you to know something for a fact about gambling, your selection is independent of what you think or conclusion. You can make the right selection but sometimes don't have power over what happened next, the result is conditional to what happen in the field.


Nothing is guaranteed in gambling, you can make a single selection of bets and you will get the biggest shock that it wouldn't come home, you will lose that bet faster than when you make 10 selection of games and the problem with smaller odds is that those with smaller amount don't get good return anytime they bet. Imagine you selected a game of PSG Liverpool againt Luton town and you give Liverpool x1 win chance only to be giving 1.21 odd, how do you bet that on $1 supposing you convert that to a local currency. This is the reason why some gamblers like to keep trying multiple odds to win a jackpot one day.

Quite confusing indeed. Never heard and experienced having a fixed win rate in gambling 'coz that is something you won't be able to control as we all know. But I do get the idea of this series of bets somehow wherein you'd be betting for a particular quantity of bets 'til you achieve winning, however, as I said, things will not be consistent.
 Still helpful 'coz still you will be having control over the number of bets you would be making and amount of money you'd probably lose. Even with games wherein analysis do work. However, forcing it will not do you any good. Problem is if you are lacking discipline to keep boundaries on the number of amount you are ready to deal with.

What exactly are we looking for in the betting and gambling that we do? Profit or fun

And what makes you feel happy is only when you get a win. While when you get a defeat, you immediately feel sorry for it.  Which in the end results, makes you more stressed and frustrated.
Indeed, the name of the effort to get a big win in every bet and gambling that is done is necessary. But we should also not be too focused and too ambitious to get a big win when doing these activities, and hope that you will win every betting session. Which ultimately leads to loss and regret.
Betting and gambling are for enjoyment, not regret. So when you place a bet, in addition to trying to increase the chances of getting a win through an analysis that you make. but it is important for us to always enjoy every betting session that we do, so that this activity becomes an exciting thing through a sensation and challenge that we get. regardless of whether at the end of the game we will get a win or a loss.

There shouldn't be any expectations at all because even 4/10 is unlikely to become possible in the consistent then it will lead to the same effect and fall into the disappointment and will keep going on the loop.

If you want to stay away from disappointment then expecting a zero/10 bets is the best way so even if you win one you're achieved more than you expected that will be a good way to manage and if you do not feel like winning then there is no shame in quitting.

There is no reliable bet my dear, same way there's nothing like fixed games, its all predictions. What he's saying is this. You can play 10 different bet slips and each of them should be of at least 5 odds. According to his prediction, if you're able to win 4 of them and lose 6 of the stakes, you're still obviously profiting. Let's do the analogy.
You play 10 games with $5 each, that gives you $50 for your total stakes.
Now, assuming you won 4 stakes, that would be
$5 * 5 odds totaling $25 for one.
 Now winning 4 of your stakes would be $100
Subtracting your investment from your wins = $100-$50.
so you're still gaining$50, even though you lost 6 of your stakes. This is a cool analogy, but my question is, what is the probability that you'll win up to 4 of your stakes?. Gambling has a lot of surprises  and you'll be shocked to lose all your capital sef .
Gambling doesn't have a definite formula, the formula is simple, gamble in moderation and with a budget.

They are too ambitious to get big wins when gambling. and apart from that, they also cannot accept the defeat they received, so they continue playing in the hope that their previous defeat will soon be replaced. However, instead of getting big wins and recovering from the losses they experienced previously, in the end the gambling they did only ended in consecutive losses.

When someone is too ambitious, that's when emotions will take over him. which causes gambling activities to be poorly controlled.

I apply this method mainly in sports betting. I already stated that the target is 5 odds per bet. Just to be clear, the winning can be more that 4 times in a series of 10 bets, it can also be less but the target is usually to win 4 times in a space of 10 bets. Assuming I have $100 to gamble with, I will have to divide this amount into 10 equal parts for 10 different bets of $10 each. Each winning will give me $50 since the cumulative odds per bet is 5. 4 wins will give me a total of $200 which already doubles my capital and cancels all losses I could possibly incur with the other 6 bets.

From the example I gave above, 3 wins out of 10 bets will still give about 50% profits.

Any gambler that experiences 10 loses out of 10 bets should have to either reconsider his approach and pattern of selecting games or consider quitting gambling as it may not be something for him. Gambling is not that complicated if you one cannot get 5 odds after several trying unless the gambler is not well prepared to analyzed the selections with open mind and present form.

I have the same thought as you that the OP doesn't explain in detail what is meant 10 matches, whether he uses a single bet or uses a parlay bet and in my opinion, if that is what is meant by a single bet, we dont need to bother having to choose 10 matches, just choose some matches that we believe can provide a greater chance of winning dont have to be 10 matches.
but if it is done on a parlay bet with the desire to get 4 wins from 10 matches and then cash out the 4 wins it seems a little risky because parlay bets of more than 5 are already very risky. there are always matches that give surprises and for me it won't work well for you. I.

btw, if we focus on a consistent win, we dont actually need to choose 10 matches but simply choose a single bet on the favorite team which has a bigger chance and always consider choosing the most comfortable option to avoid surprises that will occur because the favorite team can sometimes lose like for example, the bundesliga football match Bayern Munich lost the match at that time with a big score.
and for me, if you want to get more consistent profits, it's better not to take too big a risk at big odds or choose odds that dont exceed @2.
I have used this method for soccer betting and esports betting and it worked well, getting several wins and losses that were smaller than the wins I got. and always remember this is just a bet if you want to get a comfortable profit always bet on a popular team and if there is no popular team match or you are in doubt about a particular team it is better not to force yourself to place a bet or it is better to be patient waiting for the next match.

The gambler should ready to keep the target before start of gambling,So he will keep motivate himself before the target was achieved in the gambling.The self motivation was the essential one in the gambling if you planned to make the big winning using the gambling site.The football is the better game to make money in the sportsbet by using the gambling site.Football had many odds to make the money,you can also use the odds of your friends to fullfil your dream of big winnings in the gambling site.The probability for winning and losing was same in the gambling site.The gambler should learn the game and then use their money,the sports betting was the better option for the gambling site.Because it help us make the bet using the players knowledge in the gambling site.

this is a very subjective one as it depends on the game your are betting with. no one can assure that your other bets with higher odds will surely win. so maybe, this route is working for the OP but it doesn't mean, this strategy will also work for other people.

how can you be so sure that you will get your winnings of 4 bets out of your 10 bets? that depends on your choices, familiarity of the game itself, luck factor among others. so it means, various factors are in play before you can truly hit winning bets. and mostly, betting lines with higher odds are on the losing side. there's a reason why bookies are giving it higher odds. because such line has lower chance of winning. lucky for you if you can really get an upset.

I don't know whether you have been using the method or whether it has been working for you. I don't know, but the truth is that there is no guarantee when it comes to gambling. If someone likes to bet on 50 different series, there is a higher probability that the person will still lose all the bets because of the idea of picking different games in series, which can even lead to picking some games that the person may not know much about, and that can easily make the person lose their bets. It will be better to bet on a single game you have confidence in than on different games you may not know anything about. The method you are trying to describe has been used by many, but it is not working for them. I also used the method before, but nothing good came out of it.

You speak Like you know nothing about gambling, to be very honest with you... There are no specificities to which type of games you could possibly try this strategy... Does this imply that it works with all type of games?.. I don't think so...

Take a look at the soccer Virtual games ; 5 odds can't even give you a win on a streak... It'll definitely turn out for atleast 3 on every new week. Live gamings would be an exceptions though.

I say just manage your bankroll and prepare for either outcome. It’s good enough that you’re shooting for a certain amount of wins within a particular gambling session but I think it would do you more good if you know how to manage your losses as well.

Loss mitigation is just as important as raking in your wins, whether you’re looking to gamble for profit or for entertainment, it features benefits that you just can’t ignore. For instance, you’re greeted with a bankroll that’s saved and you can prolong for as much as possible, instead of blowing all of your money shooting for a win within a series of bets.

Food for thought my friends.

Op I still find it difficult to understand you properly may be you should expanciate it with a good example so that I can get you better. Are you referring to football betting because in soccer betting i have come across some options whch sounds like what you mentioned here but I still find it difficult to understand what you mean. Apart from soccer betting which some gambling companies gives option of getting paid if one or two games fails to play as expected am yet to see other sports with such options so I would like the op to give more details about the best.

Regardless of your strategy, you should not expect anything in return when you gamble, because its a game of luck and to avoid being disappointed, better not to have any expectations at all.

Once you’re too focus on the winnings and you set your expectation high, that is the time when you will be morre stressed once the result is not in favor to you. We should know that gambling is risky and there is no guaranteed profit here, if you want to gamble happy just go with the flow and expect nothing.

Keep in mind that chasing wins can be considered a bad practice also in many circumstances.
There's no sure strategy and if sports are played fairly you can't be sure of the outcome and there can be unpredictable results also.

So if it was certain that you would win 4/10 and you actually lost most, it would make sense to make more bets to catch up. But it doesn't actually work that way. Eatch match actually has its own individual odds. So we're getting into the betting version of the gambler's fallacy.

For me what makes most sense is to just play for fun and try to make predictions about matches you know the best about.

You are making a mistake that can give you false hope, gambling shouldn't be seen as a means to make profit because when you are not making profit, you might stand chancing your losses which is unethical because it can lead to addiction. It is good to gamble for fun so that we don't start looking for strategy to make profit because it will mislead you, since gambling is a game of luck.

I don't get your point, are you saying that only four game wins will be profitable ? You should tell us which game that you are referring to and you should also take note that because it worked for you today doesn't mean that it will work for you everyday because gambling take more from us more than what it gives back to us.
