Topic: Why Must it be the last game? (Read 1140 times)

This is exactly why I have switched to multibets several months ago. You win one of them and all your previous losses are covered, or, you can even be in a decent profit if it's a 20x win. Another attractive for me thing about multibets is the possibility of cashing out before all the games are played. Just like today I cashed out 3x of my bet



and it was a cashout. With a single bet, 3x is something not that easy to achieve, right?

I also think that way, that single bets are less risky, but the problem is that in the long run they are not very profitable, let's see that if a person bets on a game with odds of @1.60, and then loses that bet , then goes back to betting on a game with odds of @1.70, loses the bet again, then goes back to betting on a game with odds of @1.80 hits the bet, that person will still be at a loss, will need to hit many games with those odds of @1.80 at least if you want to make some profit

now let's go to the multibet bets that I also consider very risky, if a person makes a multibet bet with a parlay of 3 teams and the odd stays at @4.00 then that person loses a bet, then that bet in another multibet and with odds of @4.00 and loses a bet, but then that person bets on another multibet with an odd of @4.00 and the bet is right, so that person is already in profit and it is enough that the next multibet with an odd of @4.00 is right and there will still be room to place more bets, of course this implies that the person always makes bets with the same amount of money

also the person needs to know well the teams in which he will place in the parlay and never think that he can always win, in games of chance the only way to profit is even making multibet bets and counting on luck in that case, because simple bets, however much the person keeps getting it right, it is enough to have a few losing streaks for the person to be at a loss and everything gets worse because it is very difficult to find games that have good odds, so if the person makes single bets they will have odds of @1.50. or you'll have to go to the BTTS market which has odds of @1.60 and above in most cases, in the over market I don't see very high odds either in most cases. maybe even in the under goals market there is but it is another market that is very difficult to predict

Yes, that's right, and I think it looks like the core points of your opinion are the same as what I meant in my review above.
And this is what actually happens, even I often do it myself. Almost every time I meet friends who are also fans of gambling or betting, it is only defeats and defeats that they talk about.
But whatever power I can only give the best advice, sometimes I get answers that don't suit me.

And that was to be expected, if the only thing required to become profitable was to do that then casinos would go bankrupt due to their players beating them over and over again with this strategy.

Personally I avoid parlays precisely to avoid the frustration described by the OP, as it can be very exasperating to win several bets in a row and then lose everything because you failed to predict a single outcome accurately, so it is better to take single bets, that way even if you happen to lose once you can still receive the profits from the rest of outcomes you predicted correctly.

Yeah, the feels is different when you're on that very situation.

But I've been there and done that so, it's really a matter of choice and your cool mind when you're up with it. You can try it every single time if you think that you can pull your last win.

And if not, you just better be happy with what you've got and then have an exit and try again tomorrow.

Well with a bigger multi bet.. your odds payment are much bigger... so I bet multiple different selections at the end to cover most of the probable outcomes. I know this will reduce the payout amount, but a win is better than nothing at all....

This strategy did not work very well with the Soccer World Cup, because there were simply too many upsets. I did manage to win some configurations at the end, but that did not make up for all my losses.  

It is usually "the last game" for gamblers because they never know when to quit, cut their losses or overstretch themselves. In this scenario instead of going for 5 matches, which is already high odds against winning, people choose 15 which leaves you more likely to win the lottery than win this parlay. There are some places, not in pools, that will give you insurance for one loss if you have over 4 legs on your bet - maybe you should switch to them if you are consistently losing 1 bet out of many. It's all calculated and the sportbooks make the most profit from these sort of bets, so it is not really in their interests to allow you to cash them out, it all comes back to probability.

Every gambler must have their own betting strategy because they know that having each strategy can provide opportunities for them to win. And if the conditions allow for cash-outs, we better take advantage of them, especially if the game's conditions become unpredictable as to who will win or lose. Gamblers who are eager to win will not take temporary money because the amount is not what they expected, so they prefer to wait until the game is over. And they also understand the risks and are ready to accept those risks.

Gamblers think that the day is lucky for them so they don't care about the winning results in the next game, when greed has possessed gamblers they will definitely lose funds on the last bet because many gamblers want double profits from high bets so they will eventually lose and not get anything from previous wins.

actually it is hard when you're in the situation itself. the thought of earning good profits is always there when you are in the winning side. this is why a lot are pushing thru their last game. also, not many bookies are allowing to cash out with one game remaining.
so if you think you already got a handsome profit, with 2 or 3 games left, and the bookie is still allowing you to cash out, better cash it out rather than regret later. of course, it is our greed to earn more why we are pushing ourselves to the last game. a very understandable nature of a gambler.

There's always the what ifs whether we continue or not when we're already winning. And for that reason, for us to find out we continue and we play no matter what happens, we're just believing to that idea that 'at least we tried'.

Other than that, someone who's too satisfied already won't be pushing anything anymore when he's got the profit with him.

But someone who's more into taking risks and wanting more, will really have to gamble and push for it and will keep on saying 'one more try, last'. 

Not really but I do agree that it gives a lot of frustration since all the regrets and what-ifs comes in, especially if we are hesitant to continue but decided to go on.  I believe it is a matter of coincidence because there are lots of cases in the parlay where many drops and lost at the very first game of the series of bets.

I've tried it many times as well and I must say that the higher the chances of winning that we want to take, the bigger the risk that we could possiblt face. Betting more than 5 could only cause pressure sometimes since there's a possibility that we chase our losses more. It's better to relax and just enjoy the entire game. We can make it slowly but surely when making profits.

My friends and I have encountered this countless times. I keep imagining whether there is something wrong somewhere that is monitoring our bets. Then we choose to reduce the number of games we bet on from 10-5 games. For us to be betting on a few games(below 5) that we are sure, will be better for us than stressing ourselves over many games that will end up losing. We should learn how to bet with big money that will give us many profits.

Since we started betting on a few games with huge money, I can tell how much money we have made so far from betting on a small number of games. Although we lose some but not always

When you say "make the most of xxx" , that means you are going for more but if we are playing safely then we should make use of that cash out feature. In gambling, it is known that luck has an expiration and gamblers often got rekt due to greediness.

Even if we think we are unstoppable at some moments, we should wake up and return to being humble again. If not, well you can only ended up crying later on. In your example, indeed that 15 matches seems already too much and I don't even think that someone might have the guts to reach 13 bets but 13 bets should already gave us a nice win. I think any gamblers on their right minds will now cash out at this point.

I guess that is normal to happen as everytime you go on to the next betting level your risk increases exponentialy but also the profits. Thing is that ist is much like the martingale method, you end up losing at a cetain point, so it is basically an issue of managing the right timing to quit gambling and get out with some profits rather then trying to double your winnings and ending up losing it all.

I think it's just a coincidence  that the very last game makes you to lose your multibet, but still, if you feel like it's happening too often, indeed you can just cash out before the last game starts. The drawback of this strategy is that you can encounter a case like this



when I cashed out 42x of my bet only to see later that I could actually win 202x..

Sure thing, I was saving some of my bets this way, but overall I think all of that evens out in the long run.

It seems that every gambler has a different betting strategy and emotional level, of course.
Maybe we prefer to do cash-out when we have got some amount of profit and to minimize defeat or loss of betting money when things turn around.
However, it is in stark contrast to those gamblers who really have a high desire to be able to win a bet as a whole or as a whole.
In fact, they don't really think about the risks that will be experienced when the circumstances of a game turn around.

If you bet on more than 8 matches, you have to be able to analyze quickly unless one match is far enough from another to analyze one by one. Indeed, the prizes we will get by betting on many matches will also be large, but we will only be able and difficult to win all the matches at once if we are really lucky.

I bet the most in 3-4 matches, and even then, I'm not sure I can analyze well in the last 2 matches

But it all depends on someone's analytical skills because he might be able to analyze many matches simultaneously, but that's very rare.

The last game is like a temptation that when you don't consider cashing out offer before the last game,you might end up losing all. Greed shouldn't be what we put in mind when gambling, otherwise we will always regret it. Most people last game do cut their slips, only few gamblers succeeds at the end to predict the last game right. Gambling is a game of luck and not skill,when this is considered, you will always use every opportunity that you have wisely.
