In the game of sports, winners are always categorized based on the team with the highest performance. For example, in English football (EPL), Arsenal Football Club and Manchester City are seen to have good tactical skills, making them stand out as winners in each of their games. Therefore, a gambler establishes trust in those teams because they have won almost 88% of their games. The gambler stakes high on each of these teams because they believe that the money invested in each team will bring out good returns.

The same thing goes for when a gambler wants to stake on players. They must know the performance of that particular player before any trust can be established. For example, Harland of Manchester City is known for goal-scoring, and Saka of Arsenal is known for good finishing. This is how trust in gambling is established, although this trust sometimes fails.

My question now is, As a gambler would you give 100% to a stake that you trust?

I have tried this several times and I have lost it all,trust means nothing in sport betting as I have usually bet on teams in the top of the standings where many people believed that they will win easily and the fact was that they not only did not win but even lost the game at their home.I thought this to be only temporary and was an isolated case but since it happened several times to me,I never do that again,I do not bet 100% of my money no matter how much trust I have on a specific event.I also don't advice anyone to bet 100% of their stake on a single event because while once it may come true,several other times it will hurt those people.

What did you mean s 100%? If you mean to stake such match with high amount of money, sorry that I can not. If you mean that I should give 100% trust so that I can encourage others to stake on the match, no because I know the strong clubs can fuckup sometimes. If you check the clubs draw and lost matches, like Arsenal, no one expected that Everton would first win, though we know that the second match can not be the same, but the Everton which is among the clubs on the relegation zone first won Arsenal recently, such little mistake can take huge amount of money from gamblers. Although Manchester City has already won now and I have hope in Arsenal too today.

Never. This may be different to other bettors or gamblers but I gamble when I think a particular team/player is doing good for that day or they prepared enough to have a match. There are other factors to consider like the condition of the team/player, it's not because you're established onto something you'd really bet 100% on it, it's still gambling at the end of the day, you're always looking for the advantage/s over it even if we say you have a favorite team or player.

You can never trust 1 team or  1 player because they go through different stages of their career. Boxing might be different because they intentionally set up boxers with hype to fight cans but the odds are never worth betting on. In football games the best teams can lose and the best players can perform badly. I think we like to pretend that there is a secret to betting and once you crack it you can make a career out of it but I do not think that is a good idea. I recommend studying form and tactics instead of focusing on 1 team or player you think you can trust.

You could choose yes for an answer if you fully understand the risk involved and ready to take full responsibility for that in case things does not work as expected, secondly choose no if you're not too sure of the outcome or cant risk loosing it all to that betting, what we stake is not the function of how or what determines our winning probability, it only gives direction to tge amount we are liable to get after winning.

As you said Manchester CIty and Arsenal currently have 88% winning chance, it's mean there's a chance you will lose your bet. Don't forget when you bet them, the odds is smaller than other team, so it's mean you will not make a lot money when they win because it has been expected they must win the match. I think it's better to bet the underdog team where you know if they're actually have a good performance, just like Real Madrid on the previous Champions League. If I'm not mistaken they're mostly become underdog team.

It's called gambling for a reason, you can't just go for how good a player has been doing during the season you could also consider the opponent that they've have been facing so if you just go 100% because of their previous records you'll only end up shooting yourself in the leg. And if you're focusing on a single player that will even be of a greater risk because you never know what might happen during the match, you need to work on probability rather than certainty.

Maybe not really a hundred percent but since I'm into sports betting I will make sure that the team or teams that I'm about to bet has an edge among other teams, a deep research must need in this thing because strategy, roster and some other things may change and it has a huge impact to each and every team so therefore if I will bet maybe 50:50 in two teams so or it really depends I think.

100% sure there is only death and taxes, as someone said, in that kind of betting I wouldn't give that probability even if someone very trustworthy assured me that the match is rigged. Just by looking at the first answer of the thread we can already see that someone assigned a 100% probability several times and was wrong, so I would not recommend it.

If you are putting money on a team and think that they can win, then you put 100% on them. But the question is, can they really win the game? what if there are circumstances like injuries during that game that made them lose?

Or even if the odds are high for them to lose, suddenly they play very bad?

So as much money as you put in them, it's not going to be 100% sure that they are going to win.

When I wager on a sports game for a team to beat the other, I do not do so out of trust but out of informed knowledge of the team's historical performance against the opponent, the quality and caliber of players that the team has, the tactics or strategy of their manager and some other minor factors too. Staking  a game based on 100% trust is like hoping a blind man would drive a car successfully because he is human and expecting his other senses to compensate for his loss of vision. In fact there can never be 100% trust when staking as it is the surest way to lose a lot of money.

I never would bet all my money on one team or one play. For me the risk is way too high that something goes. Every athlete can have a bad day and if his bad day results in me going broke I did something. Diversification is one of the key concepts in my trading strategies, I try to also do the same when in gambling and betting. In my opinion its better to focus on minimising my risk of going bankrupt than maximising my returns. Also isn't all the statistical data of the top teams already included in the odds? That's why the profits from betting on the top teams is so much smaller. We either need to combine multiple bets for a decent multipler or bet on the underdog.

Not really give 100% trust but there may come a time when a team member got injured and might not be able to participate in the game. I'm not a football fan but it could be compared to NBA where some team members are very reliable but when they got injured, you'll see their defense fall apart.

But most of the time when a team is complete and as solid as they are, you can bet your $500 even when the money line is not very enticing.

To put it simply; anything could happen in a match. What OP is trying to emphasize is bias with one's team or single player. Ofcourse stats would be a betting factor but to be hundred percent sure and to bet all in one bucket will never be advisable. It is gambling we are talking about and risk will always be present. Therefore, playing it safely would be better than to pour that much and eventually losing all of your assets on a single bet. Ofcourse we all have our own biases perhaps in sportsbetting. But the best example I guess is that, no team who became champion ever made it to the top without losing. On boxing there's Mayweather without a loss, but would you limit yourself into it? such as betting only on his fights. Ofcourse it would be better to balance and manage the risk.

If you are playing sports game you must know the background of the both teams by that knowledge you can make a conclusion which team is the highest chance of winning but sometimes its always happens that the both teams are really good and quite hard to predict which one has the possible way of winnings some people doing a skip method with this so they didn't make a risk too much sometimes the odd is quite near to each other still not the profitable unlike the underdogs game match, again this is a sports game even the underdog match can make a win in the game so some people making a YOLO bet with a good odds and high risk but huge amount of profit scale.

The problem is the odd vs total match lose won't get you a lot of returns. I haven't tried to do something like this but going with this or going with only strong teams won't get you a good odd.
And where did you find that they have won 88% of their matches? This is definitely a wrong stats. Arsenal have won 19 matches out of 26 including today's one.

No, I wouldn't give a hundred percent to a stake. No matter how we analyze the capability of the players and do lots of background checking, anything could still happen during the game. The result is always unpredictable because the game flow will always depend on the game condition. Even professional analysts can fail when it comes to predicting the result so it will be a risk to entrust most of your funds to certain sports.

I can't disagree with you on that since it did happen a lot of times before when I was betting on a certain sports. Those experts saying this and that didn't matter because they somehow overlooked someone or they are just being paid to do this and that just to make odds get on their favor but somehow it didn't work on their favor and sometimes there's always a dirty rigged happening in the game where referees are being paid to do some BS call or the judges.

If they want to bet on someone they should make sure that the team they are betting hasn't done any suspicious move in the past just like how they intentionally want to lose on purpose. Better know your team.

It's not always 100% on every bet because there will definitely be other considerations that will make us want to make sure that our bets can give us a win. It will be 100% if we find the opposing team is completely unable to fight the team we choose but that usually rarely happens, especially if the match has already started. Everything can change in the middle of a match so our predictions which were originally 100%, could change so we have to be prepared for that.

When we place a bet, none of us can be 100% sure that it will turn a profit. It is common sense, because no matter how well teams or individual players play, in sports competitions, as in everything else, there are errors or accidents that can lead to the opposite results. So it is very important to understand that any bet can be a losing one, and betting all your money on one bet is very irrational.

My answer: Absolutely not. Because nothing is guaranteed in this life. Even if I have strong enough data, I would not bet on a match with all my money. In fact, I would not bet with all of my money, even if I got strong news of a match-fixing rumor about a match. Cash management is an important issue in both investments and betting. Taking big risks with all of our money can result in irreparable consequences. More balanced and better planned steps allow us to achieve better results in the long run. I wish everyone good luck.

Answering your question directly, I will say yes that I will stake 100 percent on a what I trust despite it being against the gambling rule.
At some point I only have to bet 100 percent on a match if I'm willing to loss all the money because personally I always have a drill never to go all in one bet no matter how promising the bet seems or how sure you are of a game because nothing is guaranteed in gambling.
There was a similar case with a gambler who lost over 1.4 million dollars on a very low odd and still ended up losing the game which simply implies that nothing is certain and one isn't supposed to stake 100 percent on a game for no reason not even trust except you'll willing to loss the money too.

Even if I trust a certain team, if the odds are not interesting, then there's no way I will place a bet for them especially if that team is the heavy favorite. In general, the way I way I'm choosing my bets depends on odds and not mostly because I trust a team.

If I bet on the underdog especially in boxing to support my fellow boxers, I need to trust them 100% no matter what.

As long as we know and understand that not all bets are bound to win, then we should keep it that way instead of turning to an irresponsible person after losing a certain bet. It's normal to lose in gambling and we can always bounce back the next time we place our bets.

Gambling shouldn't be given 100% trust because it is a thing of luck.  Likewise, in life nothing can be 100% perfect. No matter how good you are in your predictions or how skillful you are in that game betting with 100% assurance is a risk, because this will make you stake with a huge amount believing that you will definitely win. We have seen it in the case of football,when the strongest team will be defeated by a small team. This shows that gambling should be seen as a 50-50 activity. Putting all your trust on your stake can lead to a big loss,and is unethical.

No, you can never trust "humans" ..100%

You can see this with most UFC fighters and/or boxers, where one good or lucky punch or kick can defeat the fighter with the best track record. I have lost a lot of bets on games or fighters that has the best odds to perform, but one the day they might just be unlucky or they had a "off" day.

You might win more on those players or fighters if you continuously bet on the ones with the best statistics, but do not go all-in on a specific player, because you will also lose money on them.  :P

In my opinion, to minimize losses due to random match outcomes, you should not bet all your money on one game, but spread it out over 10, 20 or 50 games. This way even betting on favorites in most matches you will have an advantage compared to betting all your money on one match. Although if you look at it from the other side, each individual match has nothing to do with the previous or subsequent match, which means each of them can end randomly. But I still stick to the rule of not betting too much on one game.

The gambling is based on the luck,mostly gambling people use their luck to win the game.When the gambling is based on the sportsbet,you can use of background of each players.If the gambling is based on the boxing,based on the two players we can guess who is the winner.Because every player had their records and positive and negative.

If the game is based on the football,most of the football addicted person know the value of each player.The stamina of the players may vary with certain period of time.So sometimes the strategy of the gamblers also fail based on the player stamina on the particular day.

Except they are a fixed game and was given me through the right source of official outside this window I dare not give 100% trust and assurance to any stake no matter the team or player I may be placing my bet on. There's no such thing as 100% trust when it comes to gambling, just do your analysis and stake an amount you can easily let go in case you lose it cause nothing is sure in betting or gambling. Even the so-called Arsenal that are leading in the top position in the EPL table has ones lost to a smaller team this season apart from Manchester United they also loss to.

I don't trust the player or tean, I trust their output and their current performance. And even then, that trust can still be easily broken if the components of this team isn't complete and they're missing a few key people to get the gears turning. If you still believe in a team that has 88% winning rate that slumps on the current tournament, and has a very bad streak, you are playing by emotions and no longer playing rationally, which you want to avoid as much as possible because decisions led by emotions turn out to be destructive for the most part.

EDIT: some words

No, I do not think so. In fact, I thought that always keeping in mind there is a chance to lose it was a good practice among responsible gamblers and those who partake in sport betting.

Because if you trust 100% in some team or player, that could mean you believe there is guaranteed success over your bet and such assumption can lead to reckless and irresponsible behavior. In both gambling and sport-betting one needs to have a good sense of risk management and assuming no risk is a lack of management, in my humble opinion.

You should check this thread someone opened a while ago

Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5435885.0)

I placed a bet for it and risk my money, why should I not 100% trust my bet? :D

I won't risk my money for that in the first place if I don't trust my own analysis regarding the bet. But to be clear, it doesn't mean that I trust that specific team in general but it's just that I trust 100% that my bet for them does have a good winning chance.

In sports betting, we are not joking here. The moment you placed your bet on a certain team, especially with a decent amount, trust our analysis,

Haha,
I've learnt the hard way mate, I can never again, give or bet 100 percent of my fund to a stake that I trust.
I have done this before and it failed, and that how I lost all my money, which included money I pulled out from my business, thinking that with that bet, I will double it, then return the money back to my business after taking my profit, but unfortunately, everything went down the drain and the shock landed me in hospital for several days, cus I couldn't  believe I lost the money.

There is a good reason why are advised to always gamble only with an amount of money we can comfortably loss, in betting, I've learnt that even the best team can disappoint when bettors least expect it, for this reason, never put 100 percent funds in one stake.

Are you referring to a 100% bet amount or giving 100% trust to a certain bet?

If it's about 100% amount, I don't consider giving an all-in bet to a team or player even if I trust it. It was a risky move to go all-in.

If it's about giving 100% trust, then obviously I will do that way since I need to trust my bet to win.

Referring from what you describe in this thread. a big mistake if you bet based on their performance without first knowing the team that will be the opponent. remember, a strong or a team with high performance, will not always win every game. which means, they could slip at any time, depending on the opponent, they could even be beaten by weaker teams. Also remember, in a match, and during 2x45 minutes, anything can happen. and this is football, there is no exact count, nor do we refer to statistics alone. plus, we also have to refer to the available odds, is it worth it for us to bet. everything can be considered, even though City and Arsenal often dominate every game.

In essence, we are not going to place bets carelessly just because the team's performance is the highest. we will refer to all the existing players, patterns and formations applied by the coach. also, the factor of injured players is our concern. so ideally, we will conduct studies and research to analyze the teams that will compete, looking for all the latest information. plus, refer to the available odds. after that, we will conclude a prediction that has gone through a series of previous analyzes. but remember also, regarding the results later. we will never know before the fight ends, in essence, in betting there is always a risk involved.

Trust is not always a thing in football, that's why it's called gambling. A team or player that looks promising may end up not delivering his/their skills when you place all trust in them. The Arsenal game played today, alot of people had trust in Saka to score yet he didn't and a different body, Nelson, came from the bench to surprise fans. Sometimes these players play fine, hence considering their weekly performances 100 percent is wrong because being in form is not consistent. In gambling don't trust the player's just gamble with your techniques.

Its not rational to give a bet or an odd you want to stake a 100% confidence, especially when its sport betting like soccer game. Even the least team with the poorest of form on a good day can FCK up a big team with their giant odd given to them, I have seen a lot of cases where a team with small odd win a very good team and I have also been a victim of such outcome. For me I will say it's imperative that a gambler always know that no odd is a hundred 100 % sure prediction.

No I don't trust it 100% unless I also gather data from the opposing team and then compare both of it before I made my decision on which team will most likely to win when the match start. Trusting 100% will not also work and even gathering both data is nothing if the game is fixed where one of the team will make their team lose purposely but not in an obvious way. In football, trust is not what you can always rely on when betting so once again my answer is NO.

To never put all your eggs on the same basket is also a valid guideline when talking about betting. It's not a good idea to go with 100% of your funds into a single bet that you believe to be a guaranteed one, because after all there is always a little chance the underdog overcomes the favorite, besides the fact will be risking big money for low odds. Diversify your bets, make your bankroll last longer.

^Definitely right!
Even the most reliable and consistent players can have an off-day, get injured, or face unexpected challenges during the game that can affect their performance. That is why gambling is called a game of chance. It involves risk-taking and uncertainty, and there is always a chance that your prediction or bet may not come through. While knowledge and research can help inform your decisions, it is essential to approach gambling with a responsible attitude and only stake what you can afford to lose. This highlights the unpredictable nature of sports and why it is crucial to manage your expectations and that we should prepare for any outcome.

This is gambling, going all in can’t guarantee anything so if you don’t want to lose everything better to balance your bet and don’t over confident about the player you trust because they can’t always perform the way you expected them to be, there are off days as well. I will not stake 100% to any player even if they are a good player because its too risky for me and I don’t think I can enjoy betting if i go all in.

This is not how betting works supposedly because you have to know first the opponent before making any bets with your favorite player or favorite teams because sometimes your decision will also depend to this one. Even if you are betting with the top players there’s still a risk on that and going all in means you are increasing the risk of your bet and this is pure gambling already, I also not suggest this one and I don’t want to practice this in betting as well, going all in is not my way of betting.

It depends on who the team is fighting and how good is the team and the circumstances of the events, you should not put 100% of your trust because no team or fighter is 100% good, they also suffer from bad breaks and bad plays and they lose, but this is if you're betting, but if it's not you can put 100% of your trust since no money is involved and you just want to show faith and trust to the team, but if there is money involved analysis is a must.
You cannot trust 100%  of your favorite and expect to make money at the same time.

Definitely, its too risky to go all in and you favorite player can’t guarantee this one.
There are some bettor who took risk to bet like this, some succeeded while the majority are not because betting can’t work like this always. I also prefer to bet small money only, and diversify my bettings into different sports which I think can give profit to me, this is actually more fun than to go all in.

A bet is a bet and a gamble is a gamble. Even if you say that you're trusting you've staked 100% as you've said, it can still fail.
Nothing will change but only your personal trust and belief in the team or player whom you're betting for. As for me, even if I have confidence in what I'll bet for, still, I don't give that 100% belief in them because anything can happen. And I can think of it as a small gambler, so, how much more those that are gambling a lot and with bigger bets.

As others have said, there's no way it will be 100% trust or it will win by that percentage. Gambling doesn't work that way, it's either you have chances to win or not. Maybe the odds is way high that you think you will win already, but there are things we don't know, factors that might affect the result. And we all know that it's inches, it's the split seconds that will make or break a team or individual in any sports that might affect the outcome.

Like this, Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5435885.0).

That's a complex situation, if something went wrong you would lose all, and that's the main risk about going all in. In some scenarios the risk is so low that we can place this kind of bet without feeling a real list in our money, I mean when you see a pro soccer team vs a newbie one, or things like that... But I don't think this is a wise way to bet, maybe we win most of the bets, but if we lose one then will be a "gg" for us.

Dont go all in which is always been that a primary rule or golden rule when it comes to gambling.There's no such thing about 100% winning game no matter how good the team/player is when it comes to its stats.
Going back on which it would really be that understandable that upsets could really happen and this is why no matter how slim the chance there's still those probabilities on which it could really give out that
negative result.This is why when you do make out bets then dont really be that fully confident because this could really result out some impulsive decision which it isnt
really that good when you do get involved with gambling.

Nope, even though I have to trust the players I bet on that still isn't enough for me to put all of my balance in a single bet because top teams that have good players can still lose. They can still underperform on certain days which is why it's best to limit your betting amount per match. If it was back then i'd probably do it because I used to play for profit but then again that all in strategy is way too costly, you could get away with it maybe a few times but eventually, your losses will catch up unless you'd change your betting style.

I once did, yes. Well, it is more like a stake of a braindead fan so I don't think I need to establish the reason since it speaks for itself anyway. Nowadays though I'm a fan of a multitude of teams in eSports, and I decide who I'm going to favor more than the other, after all, I've watched more and know more compared to the me back then. In some cases though, especially in a finals setup match, I usually just go for whichever team I really like since in most cases both teams are almost, if not equally matched already. At that point I just enjoy everything.

Unexpected things can happen no matter how confident we are that this team will win. Thus, no because it is gambling and it's not guaranteed since upsets can happen at anytime.

This is the problem of the gamblers who gave their trust to the particular player/team without doubt and go all in.

The result is uncertain and you'll only realize your mistake once the outcome is not what you expected it to be.

No, there are several risks that are also considered besides assessing team performance. Circumstances may change after passing several matches in a row. In addition, there is no certainty that a match will always be fair or use a winning scenario.
In fact, I can't believe someone said they are 100% sure of the top team but only bet part of the money they have.

If you place a bet aren't you already giving 100% trust in your bet? You had enough confidence to place the bet, so unless you're just burning money you had to have some confidence/trust in your decision right?

This is self explanatory. You are betting on a team or player because you are 100% trusting that pick to win or else you are not putting on it if you are doubtful that they will win. Trust is different to guarantee on winning because you are just trusting your a team to established your picks.

Being doubtful on your picks is just gambling recklessly because you are not sure on the capacity of the team that you bet in.

Of course, not!
As a bitcoin enthusiasm we never 100% trust on others toward, especially if you play in yourself.
Everything cache can happen especially in football, as remembered in what just happened in the world cup 2022, (Saudi vs Argentina). at that time I was 100% believe Argentina won, but the result was unexpected. So do not believe 100% in what your bet, just make your calculation self and verify all stuff before making a decision.

Giving 100% on the bet? What does it mean? Does that mean we give 100% of the money to bet on a team? If so, I wouldn't because I'd rather split the money over multiple bets at once.

And if it is about belief in one team or player, I only place or choose one team or player based on the analysis results I did. If my analysis results say, there is no need to place, even though some people still place bets. Knowing the performance of each team or player is very necessary because we will choose one of them. If we don't know which one to choose, won't we only suffer losses later?

I don't think you have to go with 100%, you can simply calculate the odds or get the odds from betting sites. That includes many factors, and even the best team can always lose, so there's never going to be 100%, ever.

It seems like a more simplistic view, which can of course simplify your bets, but in the end it won't produce a better end result.

No need to do it I think, as we have massive computing capabilities these days.

Yes I would, otherwise it's futile to even bet. Have got person in my area who made killing on fantasy league because he has deep knowledge of cricket.

Without confidence I don't think he would have made such killing, especially when in cricket fantasy you are completing against thousands other players.

Confidence in your own ability is top most in whatever you do. Things are half won by just having confidence in yourself.

I suppose that by this you mean going all-in and if that is the case I would never do that, as you stated those teams have a win rate close to 88%, but 88% is not 100%, meaning that if you went all-in you will have a 12% chance of losing it all.

And if you did this several times then I can say to you that the chances that you will lose your money will grow to the point it will become a certainty, that is why you should never do this, even if you are tempted to do it due to the high win rate you will get by betting on those teams.

Yes, as you say, the problem with the probability we assign is that it is always subjective. If 100% were somehow an objective measure you could bet your entire wealth on the bet. For someone with experience and a history of good sports betting results, his predictions have some subjective component but are closer to objective, so if he is paid 1.6 to 1 for a team to win but he is 85% sure that they will win, it will be profitable for him.

But the fact that sport has a human component, and you don't know if the top scorer is going to get injured at the beginning of the game or things like that, makes giving 100% not seem rational.

You can trust your favorite team of fighters as long as your analysis tells you that your favorite team of fighters has a chance to win a battle, it's ok to have 100% trust as long as you do analysis, but if there is money involved and in your analysis and your favorite team has little chance to win then you have to do the right thing and don't bet on them to protect your money or better skip betting.
It's ok to be a fanatic in one team or give them 100% of your trust but you don't throw your money your favorite team is the underdog, your money should be more important to you than your loyalty.

sometimes not completely because something can happen in a sporting event, you may also know that sometimes what we believe is not necessarily 100% win, so this also cannot be separated from luck even though our analysis leads to the right thing, but don't be tempted by what we have done, for example, is guessing and betting on something as a whole because sometimes we also need other people's analysis data to become our betting reference, the point is don't be too confident and be too sure 100% so it doesn't hurt too much when you lose.

This is gambling truly and I love the way you presented the whole talk and one thing I've learnt the very hard way is never to go all in I'm gambling, no matter how good it might seem but we're human and there are situations where one has no option than to go all in especially in situations where the gambling capital isn't much.
Gambling is a game and people ought to see it that way rather than letting their emotions play on them and making more of the decisions.

And just at @ yahoo said, before one places a bet I think you're already believing in your bet or is there a way one places a bet with hopes of making any loss?
I'm just asking to know and I know the answer is NO because everytime one places a bet, he's expecting a win and profit in return.

I don't. It is impossible to trust a player a team 100%. People fail and sometimes they even cheat. Sometimes, even though that's rare, they just don't want to score a goal or save a goal. They just don't. All of these are human factors. We are not machines. Therefore, there will always be some luck factor in every sports game no matter how much research you do on each player, each team, their coaches, referees... Something might go wrong all the time and you simply cannot calculate every possibility.

You cannot place 100% of your stake in the same team/event. Sometimes happens but is always a mistake.
About the first part of your topic, I think it's an issue having such approach, just because you're evaluating team on "papers" and not the real condition taking in account the complexity of tournament, player condition, opponents and more more...

It would be a stupid bet because it entrusts 100% of the bets, even though the winning percentage will not reach 100%. I will choose to use only 50% and the rest I will use as a backup if the bet fails. if the 100% bet fails then all will be lost. No matter how great your favorite team is, they will also lose, they won't always win. Gambling also requires financial management, so you will be safer to gamble and not recklessly put everything you have into bets.

As a gambler anything I want to bet I always pick does teams in good form and stake on them because of my trust in them, despite I know that bet is  by lucky, I don't stake on teams that I don't see their potential, so i always bet on teams that I think they have high possibilities of winning and forget all about lucky at first and that is seriously helping my winning.But i a hardly stake on players performance because they can carry injuries anytime on pitch or even lose form, so i always see it as big risk to stake on that.

I can never give 100% on any stake with whatever trust I may have on a team and that is why I don't stake with big amount of money.

When you do want to go all in then you should really be that aware that this would really be your last bet if ever this would ending up on a lose.Its true that there's no such team that does ensure out 100% winning rate.

Even sticking with the favorites it wont really be ensuring that you would really win this is why its really that important when it comes to your capital handling or your bankroll. If you are really that sure or does have that strong feeling then its your choice but of course its really that impossible that you arent aware on what would be the result.

Trust could really be applied or really have that confidence but when dealing with gambling then its better not to have this kind of mindset.

For me in terms of sports betting it is not enough that you only have a trust, sports betting is the only kind of gambling game that I am playing now because I want that feeling and I want to make a research or an effort first before betting in anyone of them, we can say that yes my favorite team should be selected among others but there will always be a chance that I will choose other team depending on their stats and performance.

It might be stupid but surely some people do it especially if they want that big win. 100% betting is not recommended because there is a possibility of losing. And to avoid it, we really have to reduce it. Only wise gamblers can determine their attitude when gambling, and they will not waste their money in vain but will calculate the gains and losses for them. They also don't want to spend their money on just one bet, let alone those who want to spend their time playing gambling. But as for those fools, they gamble with their money, and many of them lose all their money.

No, for me I will not risk and trust 100% to one or two teams in the football club.
I bet really considering the cohesiveness of the team, I took a bad experience with Ronaldo, the team didn't want to share the ball with Ronaldo he couldn't score, before moving to saudi arabia, I definitely don't want to spend my money betting on a team with one person reason, the best is teamwork, the risk of accidents on the field cannot guarantee victory.

I admit that Haaland is the best striker in Man City, the goals he scored surpasses Messi and Ronaldo and also with Saka the best midfielder for Arsenal, but as far as I know the success of Haaland & Saka cannot be separated from the hard work of the club team, if other teams don't work together they can't do much.

Conclusion: 100% trust for a certain club to bet on, for me very much leads to team cohesion on the field, determines absolute success.

Fools who only want big wins will only bring themselves to the brink of loss. There are no big instant wins. Gambling also has its own system, the dealer will always win and he will not give big wins without a sizable deposit. Remember, those wise gamblers are only a few percent, those who gamble greedily only become a source of income for gambling sites. Gambling requires strategy, mental readiness and good management.
Those who are not ready and just gamble because they win big and then lose will be stressed and want to continue gambling, so they will become addicted and this behavior is not good for the long term.

nope. I have had bad experiences in gambling in the past, i would not risk 100% of my money just for confidence in betting.
I don't want to be too greedy when it comes to betting, I just want to enjoy every bet I make. because in gambling anything can happen, especially sports betting.
picking a team that seems to win and lose in the end, it also happens a lot even in world cup matches.

so in conclusion, even though gambling especially sports betting does give you big profits if you win, greed in betting or trusting your own bookmakers and betting 100% of all your money will end badly.

As much as you might point out teams like Arsenal or Manchester city to be favourites of the game, unfortunately games like football have 3 options which is win, draw ,lose which make it impossible to be always right as each option has a 33.33% of the outcome coming through and believe it or not people lose the most money on such games as they wager more than usual which is why I have tried to avoid such strong teams...

The moment you make a bet, you are convinced that it is the right bet for you. You don't want to think about the possible consequences that you might lose the bet. But when do you have 100% confidence in your stake? Actually, you should always do that, but that also depends on the type of bet. You cannot possibly have 100% confidence in longshots, you should only have confidence in your system as a whole, not per individual investment you bet on a game.

It very difficult for bettors to determine the outcome of their bets despite how good you think you are in gamble you most flop, a good gamble set storage on how to win but these stratages fails somany times and keep them wondering, with my knowledge in gambling no good gambler will put 100% trust in a stake no matter how good he thinks the stake is, even when there are lesser odds you don't trust a stake because those odds are permutations of bet companies to make it look easy in other to attract stakers.

Sometimes, what you see that is too good to be true seems a failure in the end. In gambling, you cannot expect for the best team or player to be always winning, they are also bound to lose especially if there are sudden circumstances that are not expected to happen. The reason why gamblers should never trust the player 100%, otherwise they will lose all their funds and leave with regrets. However, some gamblers still have this mindset and expect that they will always win because they are betting on the favorite player or team, and when they lose, they eventually realize that gambling is never certain and will always be unpredictable.

yes we agree. in fact, if we are gamblers. there is no word to have to trust 100% in top teams, even though it is our favorite team.

IMO, it's not a matter of trusting a team 100%, especially when it comes to betting. in the world of sports, especially football, anything can happen during a match. Football is not only talking about statistics, data, coaches, players, as well as high team performance. football involves many parties, opposing teams, odds, everything, everything will always be our consideration. everything is included in the research that we do on the two teams that will compete, then make a choice that we have predicted. After that, let the end result decide. because after all, luck will always be involved in everything we have bet.

I reckon you should also consider the probability of not winning the bet. That's also a possibility, and in many cases it can be the most common scenario, depending on the odds.

At the end of the day you need to look at this from an analytical point of view, if you want to have any kind of percentage metrics.

If you just go with your gut, then there's no need to quantify anything, so percentages are irrelevant in that situation.

It does make sense honestly. Actually, even with only gut, sometimes winning is always nailed.

What are the factors? Nothing really technical but just trusting that the bet made will be hit regardless of the odds.

Sometimes, I'm having a trait like that where I disregards any analysis but just depends on my own view.

I have to disagree with you. There are really cases that bettors don't rely on analysis but just want to bet on their preferred team or athletes because simply, that's their favorite and not that they are loyal. If you are a bettor for long, you should understand that sometimes there is a feeling where we are really sure that our favorite will win regardless of the odds.

The best example is when your fellow countrymen have a competition outside the country especially here, basketball and boxing.

egardless of the odds, I will really put a risk of betting at them to show my support as no way I will place a bet for the other side.
