Next month would make it my 15 solid years in betting world. I have experienced a lot of bitterness to the extent of committing suicide due to huge amount I have lost to it.
But thank God today, I can say I have realised X30 of what I have lost at my initial stage of betting and that is why I have come to share my TOP FIVE SECRETS OF BETTING.
#1. Perceive Betting to be a business and not a freestyling arena: It is funny to me when I see someone accumulating more than 10 games and staking #100 to earn big, I see this person to be freestyling. For a business minded person, you consider your capital first before the profit, what this means is that your capital is the most important, is better not to make profit than to lose your capital.
Heavy stakers like me need to apply this business principle when it comes to betting as a slogan of a popular betting company in Nigeria says ' Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is'.
#2. Avoid Anxiousness in recovering your lost fund: This is where most gamblers get it wrongly, never be too anxious to recover your lost fund, in betting world, Anxiousness doesn't always bring good result but rather brings more loss. For example, someone that just lost about 50k on a bet, ordinarily such person will be too anxious to recover his money back and if care is not taken, such person will record more loss, (GR)gradual recovering of lost fund is applied instead of (IR)immediate recovering, considering the example above, such person is advised to recover his lost 50k gradually. There was a time it took me a month to recover my lost 100k
#3. Gambling requires discipline: Yes, gambling requires discipline . As a gambler, you don't need to stake every hour or every day. You could set a weekly profit target for yourself and once you hit the target, you wait for the coming week, you don't need to be greedy because gambling doesn't favour the greedy ones and you also need to do your proper findings before going to market, your findings could take you days, so as to reduce the risk
#4. Design your betting style and stick to it: To Excel in any field, style and skills are required, likewise in betting world.
Putting my own betting style into consideration, I only stake on over 1.5 and I don't accumulate more than two games, the total odds could 1.6 or better still 1.75 and I stake heavily starting from 20k, I have stuck to this style and is paying. Anyway, I am not a fan of 1X2 betting and huge accumulation but if that is what you do and is yielding, you can stick to it.
#5. Only stake on sport you have adequate knowledge of and never add emotions to it: This is very important, I have a friend, from his inception in the betting world, he has always staked on Cricket because that is where his strength lies. Select a sport you have adequate knowledge about, it could be football, handball, tennis, basketball, etc.
Note: Gambling is never for emotional weak people and never bet any amount u can't let go. Bet responsibly.
I read you are experienced in gambling and been there for 15 years (nearly). Can you also tell us your statistics like your netto overall profit/loss? (an estimation then of course).
Sad to hear about the suicide situation. There are more things in life than to think about money. Life and health are more important.
