Topic: Would you rather take it slow, or just aim for a huge parlay win? - page 2. (Read 525 times)

For the first point, for me it is too difficult to do especially with the nominal bet that has been set in each bet. especially if we target the accumulation of wins in one season, as you said that means we will make a lot of bets. in fact, to predict one match alone sometimes the results are far from what we expect. just imagine, what about 500 wins. has anyone ever succeeded, if so I hope someone shares their experience.

The second point, it seems this is the most rational choice of the two options above. betting with parlay mode presents a multiple multiplication even with the smallest possible money bet. it's just that, to achieve the targeted victory, how many gamblers have ever succeeded in doing it. honestly I've never tried it, because when I bet it all depends on the situation, match schedule, interesting teams to be involved in the bet. maybe many of us target victory in one sports betting season, regardless of the nominal, method, betting method, and it seems that only a few gamblers are successful in their bets. I personally don't target anything, because it usually only puts pressure. the most realistic for me is betting according to our wishes, whatever the method, whether single bet or parlay. without having to target victory in one season, but more on the pleasure that we can get in the betting journey that we do.

That’s why the chances are low, but the potential reward is high. When betting on parlays, you need extreme luck to hit a big payout. The good thing is that even with just $1 or $2, you can win $5,000 or more, assuming the sportsbook doesn’t limit the odds multiplier. 

Parlay betting isn’t the type of wager where you can apply a solid strategy; it’s purely luck-based.

There is no guarantee that even though they place a parlay bet, indeed parlay bets many sports gamblers are addressed because they can combine several bets at the same time But it does not guarantee they can win, precisely what often happens to lose, indeed if seen from the payment side if it is high, but there is no guarantee.

For me, I like betting a small and tired way but there is a chance to win, even though it is low, but I am satisfied to do all that.

Parlay bets for me are very risky, besides the match can be canceled but if only one team we installed does not reach their spread, all our bets can be used up in defeat For that high pay there is no guarantee for parlay gamblers to win, my experience in the worst parlay betting gambling I have ever found and I did, never sided with us.

Do you also set targets before gambling? Interesting to know, but I think its more risky when you have a target you are chasing rather than freely engaging in the casino, expecting to win huge as luck permits.

Also you do not need to bet 500 times to win $10,000. It can be won within the first 10 bets, 50, 100 or not even win the money even if you bet 1000 times, so that your formula should fit in loosing $10,000 which can happen in 500 successive bets of $20 each lost, which isn't also very possible that you would record 500 losses in a row without a win.

Gambling is all about luck and setting a win target before engaging can be more detrimental and susceptible to chasing losses if things go south. gamble responsibly and moderately. we gamble to win money quite alright, but we must be wise not to over engage and ruin ourselves in the process.

I will go with betting small and aiming for huge parley because obviously winning is the basis for which we are engaged in the gambling in the first place so it's very okay to bet small especially on amount that you can comfortably loose without getting emotional because for every win you get, you are most likely going to recover all you lost before ever getting to that win, let's assume like u mentioned u use $200 per stake aiming at 10k, if you get lucky at any point,  your are definitely recovering over 100x because dividing 200 by 10k it's over 50 trials which I believe you must have won once if not twice before getting to that number of trial if you are smart enough.

Both are still difficult because the target in gambling is like putting more pressure on our minds to continue gambling so that we can reach the target.
I might choose the second one, betting on parlay with a large number of odds but only betting small.
Maybe in 100x parlay it doesn't produce that's why both are actually difficult, so it's better not to set a target and play normally, enjoy when you win and move on when you lose.

Still risky in my opinion. Doing a $2 pretty sure the odds to win is low but there are chances it could hit it. Ive seen it happened on some users anf gamblers but definitely so rare, I think I'll go with bigger funds like $10 to $20 to make sure that I 'll gain decently even without targeting a dream win.

Trying to make a parlay with a huge odds every time and waiting for one single win is very difficult, in the end it may just be hope for you, because what is the point of constantly getting only losses. At the same time, bets with odds of 1.5-3 will have a much higher chance of winning, maybe I would never dare to bet $ 10,000, but I would rather move slower, but the risks will be lower.

But then maybe it is a better idea to play scratch ticket lottery instead.  Why play parlays, the adrenaline is bigger when you scratch the ticket to see what you won, or if you won at all.  It is more interesting considering you may already have the jackpot in your hand before you even scratch it.  Even better, you do not even know how it ends!  Will it be no win?  Will it be a car, or a trip to an exotic island?  Or will it be tens of thousands?

I have some friends who are hooked on parlay bets. Small amounts, high risk, low chance of winning, but the odds are so high that winning means the bet would be multiplied hundreds, if not thousands, of times. Although I'm attracted at the huge win coming from a small bet, it's simply not my cup of tea. For me, it isn't practical. I'm not sure if they're net positive in their bankroll, but I suspect they aren't.

I prefer to take it slow and steady but, most importantly, I'm realistic. I don't even set a goal like winning $10,000 in a single season. That to me is unnecessary. I bet when I feel like betting, when I think it's worth it. Meaning, with no pressure at all.

If it was easy to win 500 times in gambling in a season, gamblers would have been rich, so the option is not achievable in gambling in a season. Betting $2 per day on a parlay with x5000 odds is good, but I think it will make gamblers who adopt this option look desperate, expose them to gambler addiction, and possibly make them stake above $2 a day because it will look like they are chasing their losses if they keep gambling every day. Any gambler who has the goal to win $10,000 in a season should just forecast 50 odds every week and stake it with $20; if he is lucky enough to win 10 times in a season, he will achieve his goal of winning $10,000 in a season.

As for me, I will go and take that risk to hit a good odds on parlay. Nothing beats a multileg bet and then you hit it with a huge win in a day, withdraw your winnings and then celebrate it with your families.

Yeah, small winnings will do, but it might not be suffice enough for a gambling as for sure you are going to aim for something big next time. So why not start that gambling with higher risk higher rewards, as typical of a gamble. And that is the advantage of wanting to go on parlays, because of the higher odds.

Overall, every strategy is right, it's really up if we want to go and target huge multiplier.

Yeah Gambling is basically all about risks and luck too. That is basically how odds and multipliers are actually engineered. The higher the probability and chances of winning a particular game, the smaller the odds always tend to be this is basically to minimise losses on the end of the casino.
Sometimes some persons prefer to risk tiny bits gradually and stack them up a pile but that doesn't mean that you are certainly going to be able to pull it off since you only have a probability of winning higher as opposed to something like a guaranteed win.

I agree with this statement. And indeed, playing with many bets firstly turns the game itself into an endless conveyor, takes up a lot of your time and generally becomes not a pleasure, but a routine process. Perhaps there is no particular sense in choosing this style of play. Less frequent bets are still preferable in my opinion.

I think the best is to have a single shot and hoping for the best. I know that if you play 500 bets it is much more difficult to be in profit overall. Personally I think that having a 10.000 dollar bet in a parlay of odds 2-3 depending on what you want to achieve and for me there would be a much higher chance of winning such bet compared to 500 bets with each one as 20 dollars bet. Trust me the more bets you place the more difficult it is to be in profit so that is why I say one single shot is the better option.

The main things here are analyze and strategy. You must have win rate more than 50% and odds more than 2. And you have to remember about "lose streaks" so bet size mustn`t be more than 10% of bankroll. I began my gambling for profit from $100 and when i stopped i had about $7.000 bankroll. I spend for it about 5-6 months.

Take it slow and steady will be better for me as that will not make me in a rush to bet and only bet with the match that I can analyze. It is difficult to achieve a goal in gambling. You may lose more money before you can achieve your goals. Gambling is not a place to make money so we must understand for sure and just have fun inside gambling.

It is better we don't use a target to achieve in gambling because that can make us deeper in gambling without we know when we get out. If we can treat gambling for fun, we just enjoy to bet in the match we know. But that will depend on them because they will have different reason.

If I play it slow and make a few bucks a day, it's not a bad strategy. Why not make a few bucks a week and maybe chalk it up to free groceries? Like I said, not a bad strategy, but I like to risk a few dollars and try to make 300+ from a parlay. I think overall either strategy can work, but the take it slow strat is probably your best bet as you have much less risk.

You are right that most people who gamble do so with the hope of winning big - this is certainly the main motivation for many. Gambling itself is about seeking risk, the desire for unpredictability and the chance to hit the jackpot. This is the element of the game that attracts millions of people around the world. In this sense, of course, it is impossible to completely rule out the idea of ​​the possibility of "winning big". After all, it is the hope of success and the search for luck that makes gambling so attractive to many.

Both strategies are boring if we’re not winning. But if I had to choose between the two, I’d rather take it slow since I believe I have gambling skills, though I haven’t exactly proven it yet.

Parlay betting is fun, but it’s mostly a waste of money. There’s a reason casinos heavily promote it as it’s like flushing money down the toilet, and here's the thing, the house edge on parlays is massive, which means we’re more likely to lose in the long run.

Honestly, both strategies are fine, and it all depends on how a gambler sees it, and at the end of the day, it’s our money.. so, we alone decide how to risk it in gambling.
