Topic: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. - page 5. (Read 884 times)

I rarely bet but most of the time I bet whenever I want to prove my prediction was right. For example, I want to win a certain team on their upcoming match. I back my prediction by my bet but I don’t care that much on the money because my main is just proving that my prediction was right.

I believe we have different reason and most of the sportbet addicts usually search for game and analyze it for the purpose of winning some money while me on the other hand is reverse which is just proving my prediction was right by backing it by small bets.

You see, the OP has discovered America, like Christopher Columbus. Of course what you think about the bet has nothing to do with the outcome, in any case with your mental reasoning you try to intuit the most likely outcome, but there are so many variables at play that only being God could you predict it in advance. And this is trying to sports betting, because there are people who believe that if they do certain things in casino games, like scratching their ear and things like that, it will influence the outcome. It's pure superstition.

The reason why every gambler places a bet is to win. You have confidence that the game will go as you predicted. Sometimes one can carelessly place a bet but you still expect it to gain from it. Your position that gambling doesn't work with mindset is confusing but I think you are saying that wins depend solely on luck. You believe in the statement that "what must be will surely be". But looking at your bet slip, I think your predictions were fantastic and you were lucky to win the game. This kind of win when staked with a huge sum can make one an instant millionaire.  However, enjoy your win.

I saw a lot winning bet slips yesterday all over my county's social media space. A part of wished I had staked some money. But it's just the foolish part that looks a one side instead of the full picture which consist of those who also lost.

I think what you are trying to say is that you were not confident in your bet but it turned out good. And that the outcome doesn't rely on your level of confidence because that is outside your control.

maybe you say that doubt will not affect winning or losing our bet, but you are a little forgetting that doubt can affect your chances of winning. what I mean is that when you predict a match or bet on a casino bet with full confidence without any doubt or fear of losing money, your mind is definitely very relaxed to carry out analysis in each match and with that relaxed mind you will find very precise predictions that will improve your chance of winning your bet.

Its different if you want to bet but before you analyze you already have doubts about several matches and your doubts will make your mind unfocused and confused when you want to place a bet and this will greatly affect your chances of winning.

this is purely from my own experience, who has experienced problems like this several times and thought this was like a superstition when in doubt a bet would lose but without a doubt my bet won. but after this many experiences I continued to study each problem and I found the answer which I wrote above.

Basically everything that is done with emotion or greed will always end very badly, yes maybe you have not felt it now and maybe you are in a phase where you are emotional but you managed to get a win, but the fact is that it has absolutely no effect and I say you are just really lucky at that time.

Although basically the final result will always refer to luck but that doesn't mean you have to play carelessly, of course you can play the way you like and also like you said with some games that you like, you can play there in any way that makes you very happy, don't think too much about winning because you are too hopeful and also don't think too much about losing because because you are too afraid or hesitant, before you come you already have to have the responsibility that whatever the final result you have to be able to accept even with a little emotion. Because it's a final matter that if indeed even though you have played to the best of your ability but you still lose it means that you are just unlucky. That's right, if your fears and doubts have overpowered your mind then it's better to just stop, and continue if you are already confident.

It's strange that in all your bet games, they are games with low odds and yet when you placed $0.13 you won and won $49, can you show what the total odds were on that multibet? because even placing 10 games with odds from @1.40 upwards, the total odds are @88.03 and if we bet $0.13 with an odds of @88.03 we end up with $11.43, so to make a profit of $49 on a multibet bet with a $0.13 bet you would have to put games above 1.70, so that the total odds were @366.78, I went to stake.com to do this simulation

So I don't understand how it is possible that you managed to bet $0.13 on a multibet bet in which there are 10 games with odds below 1.80, or did you just show a part of the screen shot? In any case, this type of multibet bet is something that cannot be won constantly and even if a person puts in little money, when they get more than 50% of the multi games right and then lose the entire bet, it causes frustration. In my opinion, it is not something you should think you will always win.

about doubts, anyone will always have doubts during the game, because the game is something in which the chances of winning are not something guaranteed, so it is normal for people to be worried and thinking about whether or not the choice they made was the best decision , especially when it comes to multi bets, because people place a lot of teams and are always unsure whether it was a good idea to place a certain team or not or whether they should bet and keep a profit on the games in which they have already been successful or wait until the last game.

Believe it or not, negative emotions always have a bad impact on your gambling and fear is one of the negative emotions that is felt by quite a lot of gamblers out there, sometimes i also feel it but i always gamble on games that i am quite good at, i will not ever wanted to bet just by relying on luck alone! it's really dangerous, especially since gambling is an activity that will always be risky ^{(winning or losing is not completely under your control)}

but what i have noticed is that when you are in doubt or afraid, it is better to stop betting for that day, you have to be confident if you want to win and the case OP experienced can be said to be a big stroke of luck.

Game that will fail will surely fail and the one that will give you positive result will not pass you, but this only works with senses, if you rely on what your friend said and you start using good amount of money it won't favour you, because as I read through your thoughts it seems that you aren't making a lot of money to really afford risking some in gambling, that $0.31 you risked is a lot for some people, I can see some saying that's a very small amount, situations of everyone are on different level.

Don't let what your friends are feeding you be the source of your encouragement when gambling, I know someone who talks like that and when you lose money they get hit hard, there is a difference between you willing to take a risk and also you willing to lose a certain amount of money, these are not the same.

Mindset is powerful, following your mind most times will stop you from some things that you are not meant to do, like wise the mind of a criminal tells them they can do it, to steal from someone and they still follows, whatever you want to do always apply sense first, not just your mind, you can be wrong and it's fine to be wrong, that will make you learn from your mistake.

Well, you might not like it, but OP profited with more than $40 on a bet of a few cents..... and that is the reason why people make multi bets like this. The chance of hitting these are smaller, but when you pull it off, it is huge. 

I normally "cash out" early, when I successfully predict the first couple of bets and I see that I have a huge profit to take.... but you stuck it out and you were rewarded. (Well Done... Enjoy your win) 

Analyzing games can be done for only a few events, that's why I try to keep it real and not go overboard, even if it means missing out on some excitement. When I have too many bets going on, it's easy to notice that I end up losing more, so I stick to just a few games I'm confident in and enjoy watching them.

As for OP's bet, it was a parlay, so I'm pretty sure when they chose the winners to include in the parlay, it was more of an instinctual thing. So, it's safe to say they got pretty lucky with that parlay win, even if they had their doubts about it.

I do agree with your final words, no risk, no gain. It's about the courage to take it even if it's just low risk.
Looking at your parlay, it's mostly the favorites so you still tried to keep the safety bet intact and I think that's a good decision. Also, this must be your lucky day because I have tried different parlays before in both table tennis and tennis and just choosing the favorites but I only got lucky once and I cannot repeat the same feat again after so many bets.
Thumbs up to your courage too at finishing all the games, because if that was me I may have cashed it out in the middle and chosen to take the profitable side instead of risking more. And now I do envy what you did and I might go back on that kind of strategy when I get my balance. I had been losing in casino games and maybe this will be my saviour again.

First off, big congrats on that parlay win! It's not something that happens every day. I'm curious, though, what were the total odds on your parlay? You had quite a few bets in there, and hitting a parlay like that doesn't come around all the time. And you bet less than a dollar, which is pretty low risk. It's a lot of fun winning a parlay because when you're betting, you might not even notice the money you're spending, especially if it's just a small amount. You can do that daily. But for me, I'd go for a bit more, maybe risk $2 daily on a parlay, but making sure the potential winnings aren't less than $2,000. That way, if I do win, it's incredibly satisfying.

Doubt or expectation has no bearing when you place your bet, but it is better to be optimistic when betting we really do not know what comes next or what will happen, I have experienced that so many times when you are a newbie you tend to be hopeful when betting but as you go on playing you just accept what's going to happen, so yeah doubts and expectation has no bearing its either you will get lucky or you will get busted, so the best option is still to play with money that you can afford so even if you are hopeful or in doubts it will not hurt the outcome.

It was great winning Your predictions were right and your luck was so good that you regularly won all the bets and managed to make only $0.13 to $49.  Now I don't encourage you to continue gambling because since you went from $0.13 to $49 which is about 377x now if you lose them it will hurt you a lot which can make you panic and motivate you to deposit more. So now take a long break from gambling. congratulations to you for this great winning

Having doubts is good and also bad, there is always something called wrong place at the wrong time, just because you doubt and still win doesn't make doubting useless, sometimes it could safe you from losses too, if I were you I won't think about it twice because doubts in games of luck isn't helpful in anyway.

It's better to learn how to train the mind, you are lucky its gambling, if it's something else, having doubts will be your weak point, and when you have doubts you have automatically fail before even trying.

I am wondering why you even have doubt when you used that small amount for gambling, are you not ready to lose that money? Because I imagine if I were you, with 0.13$? To hell with doubts, I feel it's possible to doubt only if you are using big money?

This is one of my rules in betting, if I doubt something (about some event), then I simply exclude it from my possible bets. Why waste time on something you have doubts about?

Then, if you lose, you will think why you did it. Now there are many events and choosing a few of them in which you will be confident is not so difficult, so analyze the matches and listen to yourself, sometimes this helps to avoid unnecessary losses.

By predicting the game we will play, when we lose, we will take the money we have to play the game again and if we don't expect anything from the game we are playing, of course we will enjoy the game we are playing more and if we are lucky. On our side, of course we will feel the victory and can also enjoy the game. Maybe only some people can stop when they have won, but if we can do this, of course we will be able to enjoy the victory we get.

This winning is giving you joy to the extent that you think you are Nigerian local board and you hit us with the pidgin. Congratulations by the way but there's something I'm not getting right in this your post. Like do you mean you always placed your bet with doubt? In my own case, I don't place and risk my money with doubt from my mind. Whatever option I picked, I do that with confidence of winning and consider it to be the best decision. In case I'm having doubt on a particular game, I will stay away from picking it in my ticket. Placing bet with doubt will not be healthy to me as my mind will not be calm.




Single event only work for those who are willing to stake high and double the wager amount. The OP system of accumulation is what's common sport betting. You can use a little amount to win big just like OP did. The chance of winning is actually very slim but with one win you can recover 10x of your lose. My problem with single event is that it's more painful than the combined events when it cut.

In my book, that factor (doubt) has a huge impact on my betting. Doubt can mess with your game. It's always best to bet when you're confident in your picks because winning then gives you that sweet satisfaction. You can pat yourself on the back and say, 'I'm really good at this.' But when you're unsure and still win, it usually just means you got lucky.

Luck isn't a steady thing; it comes and goes. So, the way I see it, the real deal is to focus on improving your gambling skills. That's the only way to consistently win and keep going in this long battle, especially if you view gambling as a marathon and not just a source of entertainment.
