I've been recently trying live betting, with a strategy of betting for winners after a quick evaluation of how is the game going, and how much of it is left to play. I am accepting even smallest multipliers like 1.05+ if i am quite certain i would win. I've done many of them for few days now and so far i've been happy for my system, and i already have 3x my initial starting bet.

But i can't help wonder if i am making some noob errors that come back to bite me later. As i know that there are no 100% safe winning, i think i will start losing at some point, and with small multipilers, all it takes is few losses to get back to where i started from. I am quite noob at this so i am probably doing every newbie mistake.

So i wanted to ask from experienced gamblers here, who make live bets; how do you choose your bets and what kind of bets are you preferring (other then betting for winners).

Also are there some good tips on how to make most of from those? Because to someone less informed like myself, most of the other kind of bets seem like shots in the dark. I am assuming that there are more profitable strategies. Like what kind of other bets are worth looking into?

I don't see anything wrong with your approach but upsets at the dying minutes are always a possibility like what happened in the Premier league between the Spurs and the Wolves. It's just one of those "it is what it is" moments that you have to accept and move on.

A lot of my live betting comes from an initial favorite team that's trailing in the first half where the odds of them winning the game increases significantly. They usually comeback stronger in the second but sometimes they don't. It's a higher risk with higher reward strategy.

Did have already used that kind of strategy even on that 1.05 odds doesnt win everytime.So better not to stick with it all the time. Most of my sports betting choices then i dont go usually below 1.5 odds
which i do mainly stick into those favorite ones but on the time that i have seen lesser then it would really be giving me some idea on betting into the opposite which is on that underdog
which usually it will really be having some nasty odds. There are times which i do really make out some consideration on putting up some bucks whenever i do see some slight chance of winning.
In overall it would really be just that depending on you since not all would really be having that kind of intuition and analysis on every match.

The game between Wolves vs Tottenham, it resulted in surprised outcome. Risky, everything we do here tends to be really risky, so it's not always advisable to place our minds on gambling, or going as far as making gambling as streams of income. Gambling comes with different results, we have no options than to expects the very best from the system, but when the results doesn't go according to plans, we relaxed and gets ready to strive again another day because everyday, we wake up to new opportunities, which we ensured to make good use these opportunities.

It will only encourage you to use huge amount of money and a loss after several won matches will still be a loss. I just want to let you know to be very careful. This has been my strategy and it is not as good as it seems.

If you do not gamble often, you will likely win more. But in-play like this can be addicting

I also prefer a match to start before I bet because if I wait like 10 minutes later, the odd would have increased in which club to win.

Live matches are dangerous is all that I know. Gamble responsibly with little amount of money that you can afford to lose.

I do sports batting but I am not that much expert in it. I started my beting journey from sport beting. My first betting on a cricket match prediction. I know the full match prediction pay out is very low but I usually do it because the movement of matches says that which team going to win or loss. I don't do predict in risky matches those type of match to understand who will going to win or loss. The winning money of this type of prediction is small amount but they are there is no that much high risk to lost your predict money. I usually bet big amount of money to get a minimum amount of profit. And I am okay with the small amount winning at the end of month small amount create huge amount of money in the cricket world cup season.

I don't know any kind of gambling strategy and I don't following kind of strategy because this type of prediction is not that much hard on watching a match movement that's why I don't follow any kind of strategy.I think because not following any kind of strategy sometime my faces loss but it's okay.

Even if upsets like that happen, I don't think that it's a cause for OP to discontinue the strategy that OP has employed and with the result of that OP has said, I think that it's an effective strategy but if someone finds this strategy to be lacking due to the potential upsets or comebacks from the underdogs then you can always do arbitrage betting so you can win your bets either way but you can only do that when the odds are pretty big on both sides so you wouldn't be minding losing your bet on the losing side.

That's why it's called gambling, but man! Sports can be thrilling, not until the last whistle is blown, your ass will be trapped at the edge of the sit, but I like the idea of securing your win when the game is going your way, because not until final whistle is blown anything can still happen.

In any game I always prefer to lower my chances of losing my money, and increase the chance of winning, this is why makes sports bet better than others, unless you are blindly betting on matches you have no idea about, my advice is to stick to a particular amount, because at the end of everything, you still need luck to make money from gambling.

I don't care about what or which odds you decide to use, you will sometimes lose money and you will some times win money, but make sure you gamble with what you can afford to lose, every gamblers are powerless when it comes to game of luck, do not use gamble as a way to earn a living.

I must admit most of the times that is the best strategy which unfortunately sometimes can cause also lost games but there is no better strategy than watching the game live and betting on it.However let me make an example from yesterday when Manchester City scored the 4th goal and I had the option to cash out but I didn't as I thought watching the game it will be difficult for Chelsea to equalize with just 3 minutes left to play.In fact Chelsea got the equalizer from a penalty and this shows that even live betting is totally unpredictable.

there is no strategy when it comes to betting on sports betting and just play with your feelings and do the analysis that you think is right and stay away from choosing odds below @1.10 because usually like this it can be a trap and quite a few lose with odds @1.10-
and stay away from multi bets if you want to experience consistent wins.

I too often focus on sports betting and all I do is actively look for information on sports that I like. after getting information from other people discussions, I do my own analysis looking at all the data I have to see and I bet uncertainly, sometimes on the team winning or even Asian handicap If I see a team that really wins I will choose to bet on the winning team but if I am in doubt I will choose the Asian total under or over.

actually there is a lot more that I could discuss but it might be too long and several other threads also often discuss this and I hope there are other people answers that can provide additional information and give you experience. good luck

Usually I will place a bet to strong/popular club or had many times win via comeback in the second half with a condition the opponent is leading in the first half, this surely make the the strong/popular club is a heavy underdog.

Oh well it seems I'd bet opposite to you, if you bet in certainty, I bet in uncertainty lol.

I have the best strategy for sport betting and I am willing to give it out for free, that's you risking only what you can afford to lose, don't use money that's meant for your education and don't use money that is supposed to keep your business running, stay away from loans and borrowing money from anyone to risk on gambling.

If the government is benefiting from the people for been poor and deep in poverty then what will they benefit if majority of people are rich? Yet they still allow casinos to run and function in their country, it shows they are smarter than you, people acts like zombies all the time, this is what they believe, they knew that the chances of you getting rich in gambling is super slim, and they start regulating casinos to make money off them too, to the government, gambling is a win win situation for them.

It's like what Kiyosaki used to say, keep them poor, start selling them their fantasies, they are making millions off the poor and pretending to give hope onto them if they can take the risk, it's like running a circus, wise the up people, risk only what you can afford.

I often play games like this by betting directly when the match has started, so that I know how they play and which players are sent onto the field to play, but it still doesn't really help and it's true, as you said, there is no win. which is 100% absolutely safe, so sometimes we see opportunities that are certain to win but suddenly at the last minute the opposing club gives a surprise and manages to come back to win.

It's really annoying and I often get losses like that where I bet all my money and lose everything I have collected from winning live bets, therefore I now prefer clubs that really have a higher winning potential and at least look how they make their defense is also quite good, sometimes the defense often slacks because they take it too lightly and in the end they manage to win on a comeback.  ;D

Definitely I have done live betting as well and it's really exciting. Of course, for some of us this is a good strategy, however it is not a foul proof as well. Although one advantage is that as we go and watch the game, you can sense as a fans how the games might turn out, if you see the underdog somewhat might pull an upset then you should bet on them.

However, as the OP said, it's also not 100% sure win because there's none, even at a bet of 1.05 odds, anything can happen and turn the game around. So I guess knowing the team that you want to bet and seeing that they have the heart to win the game then I will definitely go with them. Again, specially if they are the underdog, it's great to bet on them live and then just watch it and see if your hunch is true or not.

Not sure if there is a strategy in live betting, you just have to let's say watch the first half of the game and see who is the better team. Maybe in the pre-game betting team A is the favorite, but when they are playing, it seems that they are struggling and they have a hard time against the underdog team. If that is the case, then betting on the underdog is the best choice.

But if the game is very close that the favorite will not have an easy win, I might go and bet on the underdog, not on the ML but as least in the handicap, + side, at least you are shooting two birds with one stone, for example, the underdog didn't win by the favorite wasn't able to cover the handicap, or the underdog pull a upset, so it's a win-win situation for you.

There are matches like that, the strong team that was losing before would still win after the other team was winning before. I have seen many matches that the strong team will still be losing after 95th minutes to the end of the match but later won the match. The odd for this kind matches are very high, but I can not go for something like that because of the high risk. The risk is higher than to go for such match, not worth it.

Am sorry to say that this question should be what each and everyone of us being a gambler should take time to discover, what may be good for you could actually not be the same in my own case, choosing a bet to make use is a personal discretion or choice and one can make use of any certain criteria to judge his action or decision from this, while at he long run, everyone is taking the same level of risk involved in gambling irrespective of the strategy or sport betting category you opted in for.

I bet first before the game starts and choose my favorite team based on their previous games and winnings. Most of the time I put my bet on higher odds but sometimes, it never wins. Therefore, I could say that even choosing our favorite team or those teams that have good game history doesn't guarantee winnings always, I believe in luck and sometimes these players are also too unlucky and beaten by the other teams.

A reason why I could say that there is no perfect strategy in betting and even if have been doing this for many years, losses are still possible and we can't change that.

Live betting is good but also brings you a big rush of adrenaline and unless you're able to handle this, sometimes it's just better to not touch the bet buttons while the game is live.

For instance, as I've been trying to make predictions before matches start in my Greek 2023–24 Super League Predictions & Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472833.0) thread. And you'll see that for example yesterday I made a prediction that a stronger team would naturally win against a weaker opponent (PAOK being stronger against Panetolikos). But if I was playing live I would have been anxious because the first goal was by the weaker team!

But of course the result was turned around. So sometimes LIVE betting can turn you more compulsive and reduce your winnings. I think it's harder to utilize it for increased profits instead of betting on common sense before a match begins. It's probably more likely to reduce winnings unless you're extremely calculated and principled.

Know the sports, it will come in handy.
I am the type who likes taking risks especially if I know that one team can really turn the game upside down. I like taking those x2.5 - x3.00 bets in live betting knowing the full history of one team. But, it's not like it will always hit, there are times when the team who is up can keep their lead until the time expires.

You are doing fine. I think. I've known some gamblers who are doing the same as you do. Taking the low risk for a high chance to win but lesser profits. It works but like you said, just one mistake and everything you worked hard for will be taken away from you.
That's why I said in the first part to know your sport. If you have learned that the team they are up against cannot flip the game then you are good for a long time until you get used to it.

I'm happy for you; however, it's too early to conclude. You need to experiment more, perhaps for a month or two, and see if you are still on the profit side. The issue with low odds, such as getting at least 1.05, is that you'll need to win 20 times to secure a 100% return on your bet. In those 20 times, there's a possibility of facing losses. You know, this kind of strategy requires a lot of patience, as it means betting on many games to win significantly. I hope you won't be discouraged if you experience a losing streak, as small odds do not guarantee a win.

Which sport are you trying to bet on?
I've done the same from soccer to tennis. It works for a time betting the crowd's fave even that 1.05 you are saying. It is a tiresome approach and it only takes a few losses to take those winnings away and you are back to square one. If you are like this then probably you are not watching the games as well.

And then once again reminded about the thing they are saying only bet on the sports you are passionate about. Take that advice, minimize your bet, and watch the game. You'll realize when you enjoy the game, it doesn't matter whether you lose. You enjoyed.

The sports betting need of the knowledge compared to the other type of wedding in the gambling sites.The random bet was useless in this area of the gambling,only few random bet was successful in the sports betting.The best way to learn the game was made by adapt to the game and increase your own skill to that game.The experienced gambler was the winner of the sports bet all the time,because they know th team performance for more then 2 decades.So the team performance was the important one in the sports betting.You can have some video in the YouTube related to the sports bet in the gambling made by bloggers to play in live match bet.

Who can keep up with all the games you're betting on? When you're consistently wagering on odds like 1.05 or even lower, you end up betting on numerous games. This can be stressful because, inevitably, you'll face some losses, and as you mentioned, these losses eat into your winnings. In reality, this method doesn't seem to be effective. I believe that focusing on quality bets is more impactful than quantity. Just ensure you're betting a reasonable amount, so you don't get too greedy in pursuit of your winning goal.

Regardless of what sports betting strategy is often used by users, the essence is: analyzing the general teams that stand out the most and have the best history and careers in the world of sports for me it is one of the most important strategies to determine success in sports betting.

I remember one of the best resources I've ever read about sports betting, maybe it can be useful for you in the future.
For example:

Basically there are many strategies that are often used by those in sports betting, for example: arbitrage, value and so on, but whatever strategy there is, of course experience or statistics and analysis of sports betting, has a good chance of being successful.

Upsets in sports games are occurrences that we can't assume except by luck you're fortunate to have your prediction coincide with a sudden upset in the game. Another example of an upset setting in in a game is that match between Chelsea and Arsenal. The home team Chelsea were leading 2:0 in the first half only for Arsenal to come back in the second half to equalize 2:2 ending the game with as draw.

On a norms a gambler betting on a live game will bet in favour of the team leading by 2 goals addition to the advantage of  being a home team too but in the course of the game an upset took place which canceled the home team winning score.

Usually there are factors that can invite an upset in a game, factors like coach making a wrong substitutions, key players' getting injury that forced him/them out of the match, and lot of others that we can be familiar with.

Well, it's nice to know i am not totally heading on wrong direction with my strategy. There are several suggestions that i live by like not losing more then i could afford. I just thought that there might be clever ways to use

Like "handicap", "set" and "total" markets etc.. Because it''s hard to me to grasp how can i utilize those efficiently.

I thought it might not be, even though it's currently working for me. Eventually i will lose.

This i didn't quite understand. Do you mean that if i play often, i will take unnecessary risks? As i know that i am not supposed to reach and try to risk more just because i want to gamble more.

I gamble on everything i know basic rules about, like how log each round, set or game takes? How much points there are even possible to make and in what time. And in overall how fast can games change and for what reason. But i do lack some basic knowledge about some sports. Like cricket for example. And i am not touching that until i read the rule book no matter what the odds are. Odds to me are pointless unless i know how i am risking my money. Just like i am not gambling with all the betting types that i don't know anything about.

Not what I mean by that. If he doesn't watch the game that means he is just as what I did as well which we both failed.
I was doing it just like he was doing afaik i was also telling the same in my thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5457554

At first, it was incredible though so it's exciting and even if he loses this time. I think this strategy still sticks in his mind. I from time to time, when I get bored I go back to this kind of strategy and fill my slip up to 10 bets and come back the next few hours to add 10 more.

If you are already x3 of your bankroll then I guess everything works well with your strategy and there’s o need to adjust unless it’s not working anymore. If you are consistent with your analysis then you should not worry about losing it all since you are using a low risk low reward method which can be enhance by analysis skills.

If it’s working then just continue. Remember only to set stop loss and don’t be trigger when you encounter losses since it’s inevitable. More important is your consistency because that will give you more profit.

Live betting in football is one of a good trick to do to have more chance to win the bets, because you can analyze how the run at current time and predict what the result will be. This is the best reason on why we are gambling on what we good at. When you have a good ability to read the game, to know how good players performing, and how the teams' tactics running, That makes gambling / live betting feels easier than just hoping luck. For football enthusiast/ fans, there is no better way than this.

but You need to avoid putting bet on your favorite team when you do this strategy of betting, because your prediction could be not so objective. you need to avoid emotion play its part when you analyze something.

he is not doing a detailed analysis, mostly it's based on the odds he is taking the cue from the bookmakers. this is not a bad strategy actually but like he said every win is just a tiny amount of a win. it will be a good strategy if he stake a huge amount. to earn $50, he has to stake $1000 for the odd he example is 1.05. that is still good easy money if the bookmakers allow it too.

but with just one loss, he loses $1000. how many bets will he make to chase this loss? this is the risk that he meant. you couldn't continue the strategy if you lose twice. in sports, the underdog winning the game often happens.  :D

Yes that's right. If we continue to take the small odds of 1.05 we will definitely not be satisfied and we will definitely add another game. Until now, I have always believed that every league and every week there will be a favorite team that loses or draws, I'm still confused about why it's always like this. By the way, I mostly bet on Mix parlay, I don't like betting on games that are in progress

When I bet on many favorite teams in each league that I rank, sometimes we are too sure that this team will definitely win 100%, but in fact they ruin all my bets. So I agree that greed will make it difficult for us to win.

Point here is that there’s no easy way to dominate any gambling related activity, no matter how much we would want to. Betting in line with odds would give you a higher chance of winning but will never guarantee it. Your analogy is correct, you could win continuously but with small profit in low odd bets but a single loss could be so fatal on your capital. While with betting against odds, betting a small amount could generate huge profit however it won’t happen easily. Therefore, it would be much better to just minimize the risk of losing that much; bet with moderation and at least enjoy the game given that it is sportsbetting we are talking about. We just have to accept that luck will always be needed in any gambling activity. Would be best to lose a few than to lose that much chasing a huge single win.

For me the best form of sport bet strategy is to always fake your chances at any amount higher in proportion to your staked amount because cash out may help you to escape a total lost of the bet if you wait too late too long to take your chances as things turn out with events at hand along the way.

But then this strategy may not also go down well with many other people,  even though it works out well for some of us and seeing that cashout is one of the strategy that have helped me to achieve more with my stake instead of possible lose,  so cash out is my most preferred sportbet strategy that works for many of us here.

I also love placing bets on options with low odds. But even doing it like that, youre right, there's just no way to know for sure what'll happen.  There's no such thing as a 100 percent safe bet.  Every so often itll look like easy money but then the other team will pull some wild move at the last second and end up winning anyway.   

I think the big thing with this strategy is managing how much you bet and  if you go all in on one wager and wind up losing, it'll take a ton of wins to make up for it.  So in my opinion, it's best to spread things around across a bunch of different leagues.

Speaking on sports betting or simply generally with gambling then we do know that sure win or 100% chance of winning cant really be that possible.No matter how heavily favorite a certain player/team would be
on which we do know that there's always the possibility of upset that could really happen and lets not really that remove that kind of thinking or possibility that could happen. Even if we do say that the odds are really that showing 1.05 or somewhere near with those odds then it isnt something that give out that kind of assurance of sure win. Most of the time when bettors do see this then they do really have that kind of feeling and emotion that this is something a bet that they could really be able to have some all-in kind because they do have feeling that this would really be a one sided game. Yes, it could be possible but you shouldnt really be removing
that idea or awareness that in each game, there would really be always the possibility of upset. This is the one main risks on which you would really be needing to consider about because once you do miss it
and believe on something that you do have in mind then once you have losing result or outcome then that would really be bringing out that kind of extreme disappointment.

I think betting on low odds is safe if you knew the player/team you're betting will surely make it in the end. I think for live betting and picking the low odd better check the time as always, if there's still lot of time that could change the tide of the game so you better be aware on that because that's too risky. After all it's on your analytical thinking that will matter.

Continue doing it until you get the feeling that it starts to fall off. If you want to get more out of it then maybe browse other bookies because there are a few that offer less juice on live odds. I used to focus on live betting at one point and had a few successes with that betting strategy. My only advice in live betting is to avoid those pre-live underdogs that sometimes would shift to a big favorite because it could bait you into betting underdogs when there's still a good window for the pre-live favorites to recover and possibly take over the game.

Sports betting sometimes brings surprises at the last minute, that's why we have to use the right analysis and with small odds so that the chance of winning is greater. In fact, the strategy used by OP is to bet directly, usually the risk of losing is smaller, but this is not guaranteed, so you always win, sometimes also the predictions are wrong, there is no harm in using a direct strategy but at least wait until the second half starts then we will see the performance of the favorite club and we can be sure to bet even though the odds may be smaller but at least the chance of winning is bigger.

I often lose when making multi bets, multi bets are more annoying in my opinion because I choose a lot of favorite teams that will play that day and have chosen the double chance option but there are still teams that blunder and for some reason when I bet a small amount I precisely win in multi bets, but when I bet quite big I actually lose and that often happens even though every time a match is about to start I always analyze it first.  :-\

You could have asked these specific questions in the OP.

Handicap is what I usually bet on aside from moneyline. Odds are definitely better but this is not something you can just throw money lightly. You'll have to be more knowledgeable of the teams you're betting on.
I find it easier to bet on handicap for basketball games like NBA since I'm more familiar with the capability of the teams and also updated with injuries.
I prefer betting on football like the Premier League when it comes to the total scores.

It definitely safer, but even though you have a chance of winning it not guarantee because unexpected things often happen in every sporting match.
After all, Odds are just determinant that one of the teams has an advantage in winning the bet, but we can't rely too much on Odds to choose betting options.
We often see quite a lot of gamblers who bet based on Odds but in the end they lose and regret it.
This is proof that neither strategy nor Odds will guarantee victory and it is better to be as confident as possible by analyzing and determining the right time in placing bets.

I may not have much experience in sports betting but I have tasted the bitter sweetness of sports betting so there is little advice that might be useful.

I routinely did this some time ago at one of the bookmakers and routinely bet on basketball matches and could be said to be successful because I got quite a lot of wins even though there were also losses. I will only choose when I am sure the match score will change according to what the bookmaker determines when watching the match because I can judge what the chances are, for example choosing over or under.
But I have stopped this because it is quite time-consuming and changing odds very quickly is not very fun and sometimes betting choices are only based on instinct which ends up losing because in live betting it is difficult to do analysis.

Indeed, odds show possibilities, not certainties.  Your mentioned is not over-relying on odds. They're tools. Consider them a compass that guides but does not dictate. You're smart to emphasise analysis and timing.

Your harsh and pleasant experiences are valuable. No book can offer these real-world lessons. My advice? Stay flexible, learn, and realise that betting, like life, offers no guarantees but opportunities to develop and learn. Bet wisely and remember that winning and defeat are two sides of the same coin.

When I want to place a sports bet, I will look at the sports I am familiar with and see who is playing so if there is someone I know, I will start looking for information. And if there is a team that I know has a greater potential for winning than the opposing team, I will place a bet on that team. But if not, I won't place any bets and will look for other matches that I know.

After finding the winning team, I will place a bet with the money I can afford. I didn't chase big wins because I wasn't confident in my analytical skills. Besides that, I only bet on sports betting for entertainment rather than to make money. I also do not know any strategies that many gamblers use so I do not think much about that. If I can win, I will be happy. But if I lose, I can accept it. Nothing to lose for me.

In my locality, we've a saying that if you want to eat a frog, go for the one that has oil, so that if something goes wrong people would say you have a good taste. I call the 1.05 multipler the devil's blade and I cannot stake on it but if you've a system that works for you, then you should stick with it.

It's been a while I play inplays, I do bet on sport betting and it's more enjoyable if you're streaming the game. My favourite markets are goal and corner markets. I pick leagues that like scoring goals, and I normally wait still 8 - 10 mins after kickoff before placing my bet so that the odd would increase, then I bet on over 0.5 HT and my win rate is good.

In each strategy, even if we think it's the best that we can ever imagine, there will always be a loss on it that we can experience and it's normal because this is gambling and all kinds of gambling always involve some luck, even if it's only small and we can't control our luck. Watching the game live and at the same time betting on it, can be called as a strategy for some sports bettors but this can also be called as an experience.

This makes sports betting fun and thrilling. If you are a long-time sports bettor, you will know that some outcomes are possible, although I know that many of us can repeat the same mistakes again. It sucks when it happens.

sometimes when it feels like the team you are rooting is not going to make it, it pays to just cash out to salvage what little you can get back. even in the 4th round afaik the bookie will still allow us to cash out.  the best part of doing the live betting is for this purpose i think.

the availability of that cash-out button made me feel safer. but anticipating that our team will win in the end also burst the thrills in us that's why it's tempting to just hold on to the hopes. i have this kind of situation where i was about to click that button but kept watching the game until it was too late to cash out.

I can't stand that cash-out feature, honestly. I wish they never came up with it. We thought it would be a game-changer, but it just turns us into losing our confidence. I mean, we gamble because we're not afraid to take a risk, right? So why not ride out the game and see where it takes us? This cash-out thing can really tempt us to bail, and there are times when luck is on our side, we could've hit the jackpot, but nope, we second-guess ourselves, hit cash out, and bam, missed out on the big win.

for the time i have been betting, i waited til the game was over even when the team i bet for was losing. its not a healthy strategy. one situation that will help is when an NBA match scores 58 - 94, that's really hard to swallow. even if luck gives my team 10 turnovers in the last quarter, they can't win.

if you can do something to minimize your loss especially when luck is not on your side. it's the kind of option you would want to do as part of your plan.
the bookmakers added this option though so you might as well use it. but in the last ew minutes of the last quarter or in the last rounds of boxing, the bookmakers cancel this cashout option.

I have thought about being more active with gambling in this manner.  I do a decent amount of sports betting in general, but I typically bet before the games and not during.  I will however bet live at times when I think a team scores first and gets lucky, as I don't think they'll keep it up, so placing bets after the first score is something that I try and utilize, but not as often as maybe I should.  Other than that, I get a bit spooked with betting live.

I ever post about this on other thread


Choose any sports you like because you need to know the teams or at least follow the news of that sports.
Do not place many bets all together, just dont.

I really avoid making bets with very low odds, something like games with odds of less than 1.60, this is because when a person keeps making bets with very low odds that person can have a winning streak of many games, but all it takes is for that person to lose. in just a few games to end up with losses. For example, imagine that you place bets with odds of 1.10 and win 10 consecutive games. All you have to do is place the same amount of money you have been betting and lose twice, so that you lose all the money you won in the 10 consecutive games. see how painful it will be, spending 10 games doing a lot of analysis, winning and having high expectations

and then have 2 defeats and lose everything. Honestly this is something very annoying, I don't place bets with low odds unless I place a multibet bet. I talked about low odds because that is exactly what has been found in live games most of the time and as people think that if they are in a live game with 20 minutes left and the favorite team is winning and has odds of 1.15 then it will stay placing bets on games with this low odds value with this scenario then you will always be right.

The person can even have more than 20 consecutive successes, but the problem will always be when they have a loss. The profits are very low, which means that with just a few defeats, a person can lose their entire bankroll. now when you are in front of a live game with odds above 2.00 and the person gets it right, then you will make a profit in the long term

The cash-out feature isn't really there to help us cut losses; it's more like the sportsbook has the upper hand with their calculations. To keep it straightforward, just go with the flow and hope for that win in the end, in my opinion. Trying to play the cash-out game becomes a stress-fest, especially if you're handling a bunch of bets regularly. Monitoring all those games just to hit the cash-out button at the right moment feels more like a trading session than good old-fashioned gambling and that takes away the thrill.

There is a lot of risk in that strategy, honestly, even if you think that it's a safe approach, it isn't since you can't keep winning all the time, and as you said, only a couple of losses will bring you back to where you started from and all your time and hard work will simply be wasted. I would prefer betting $100 with 1.5 odds to win $50 instead of risking $1,000 to win $50 with 1.05 odds because sometimes, things change at the last moment, and the team winning will suddenly start losing.

I'm not trying to discourage or demotivate you with your strategy, but it's what it is, and I say that because I have faced it. I also made live bets in the past, and I remember in one match where the favorites were already way ahead of their opponent and I placed a large bet for just 1.05x in return, unfortunately, the favorites lost the match and I lost my money.

Another important aspect of sports betting is to make long term profits from football betting which requires a lot of hard work and time for research. Therefore it is best to stay organized and create a clear roadmap to succeed. Although there are many gambling sites out there not all are the same. The best sportsbooks usually offer players better odds more markets and a safer all around experience so do enough research on this topic. Football has betting market like double chance first team and many more. Therefore research to find out which betting market is suitable for the event.

The best way to avoid the temptation of pressing the cash-out button is to stay away from the device until the game is over. You see, sports betting is a crucial king of gambing because the only thing that could determine your fate is the players or team. We can't predict the flow of the game of a sport; there are a lot of things that could happen during the match and uncertainty. That's the thrill part of sports betting: betting on a team that you think will have a chance to win and you want to win. I guess the ones that mostly do the cashing out thing are the ones that are not truly fans of a sport or who have little knowledge or information about the sport and the team they are betting on, and they are the ones that don't trust their decision. You see, if you can't hold on to your decision or to the team you bet on until the end of the match, then better don't do sports betting, because in this betting, you should watch the match until the end, whether you win or lose.

That is a good thing about sports betting which we don't just rely fully on luck as we have the chance to win when putting those teams that higher potential of winning. This is gambling, we could think that placing our bet to a winning team could always win but unfortunately, it never works always. Well, some of us had put their bets in support with the team and even we know that they couldn't win the game, still we give faith from them. Because in sports betting it is not all about putting bets on the strong team but also, we bets on our favorite team.

That cannot be possible for me because I also like to do some live betting occasionally. Don't worry about me; that cash-out button does not bother me at all. I've matured in gambling already, and I know how to focus on things. As I mentioned before, I don't find that cash-out button interesting as it kills the thrill in gambling.

If you are a gambler, you don't retreat.  :)

I haven't tried sportsbetting online but I tried this through an illegal outlet usher here in our local area. 😅 I place bets with boxing, basketball and any other sportbetting but my strategy is that I choose the best of the best and I also am referring to the history and records of the said team before placing.

The most important thing is that we can look for more information so that it can help our analysis. We can find teams that have the potential to win compared to their opponents. After finding a team that has the potential to win, we can place a bet on that team, but we must remember that the bet we place must be adjusted to the funds we have. We must be able to regulate how many bets we want to place and not bet more than the amount we can afford so that we can avoid even bigger losses. We have to be responsible for the bets we want to place, so we have to determine the amount of money we want to use to bet.

I prefer sporting betting because most often it usually have higher chances of turning out a winner when making careful live picks, so most often I pick between basketball and football because I have some good knowledge in both of these sports I just mentioned and know how well to make my picks but not all the time it turns a winner.

For football there are teams I know are good at getting a good number of goals before the game is over so I wait when this game has started already and they have a goal ahead obviously they would most likely get more goals so I just placed a bet on them getting a goal or two more although the odds are usually Small but then you would have to get a good staking power to get a reasonable profit from it or you can be patient enough to roll it over gradually same applies to basketball but it's not 100% guaranteed a winner all the time.

Well i kept winning for a while, put some more money to other casino, to start gambling there too, as i wanted to raise my account level. and made my initial bet on original casino very high, so it was happening super fast, and i kept slowly raising the stakes. I even did the math how long with this rate i would be rich.

I started to feel that i had figured out a money making machine. In disbelief as i didn't understand how that would even work. I didn't even have a slightest theory why it is working, because i kept thinking it's mathematically not likely to keep winning. But as i was making money, so i didn't care.

Then all it took was last night. I had bet everything and after i woke up, found out that most bets i had set for the night were lost, so i lost almost all of my bets on one casino and over half in another one. I am now pondering what happened. I was unlucky for sure, i should leave it to that.

But maybe i was also gambling too recklessly. Making more and more bets, becaise i didn't wan't to raise bets too much i kept having more bets, not just bigger bets. I didn't keep up what i've already betted, i just wanted to bet everything. I don't recall making horrible choices though. Some were risks that seemed worth it.

Well, easy come, easy go. I keep on trying again.


I made some combination bets, which one of them i cashed out since i didn't realise i included games happening far in the future. I lost everything that has over 3 games on them.
In fact i don't ever remember remember winning in any other way then chickening and cashing out.

Gambling cannot be win win all the time, and this was where you misunderstood what gambling is. You should also note that it is impossible for anyone to make a living from gambling, and if that person is not careful, he will end up becoming an addict. This is because like you said, you were betting with little odds, and it was working for you, but when you had the confidence that you are going to win the game, you decided to bet with all the money in your account and lost it all in one casino game. This is how gambling is, a gambler will not be satisfied with his small wins, even though it is constant, and will risk all the money his account for just one big one, and at the end of the game, he will lose it all. This is why gambling should be done for fun, and not to earn a living, so that we don't use the money that we cannot afford to lose to gamble

You are doing well, but keep in mind that results can change over time. Betting, like sports or basketball, has its ups and downs. Stay consistent with your patience, don't change your strategy without proper evaluation, and assess if you are still making a profit in the long run. Give it some time, perhaps around three months, to determine if your method continues to be profitable.
