You were completely right. It wasn't an easy game. Although Porto is getting on better form now, Chaves is doing quite well.
Porto had a good and deserved win, but it sure wasn't easy, so the odds offered were not profitable in the long run. This time it went well, but it was easy to go wrong, and the profit made just wasn't worth the risk in my opinion.

I don't know if they have that much of a risk. Maybe they can't really control parlays. They might be hard to win, but they sure pay big amounts when people hit them. On single bets, I think they have all under control, or they should have if they do things properly. They control the odds and the max betting limit, so they should always have their profit even on all outcomes, no matter what happens I guess.

I'm on a bad run myself, I guess I will start following you again. I don't really know these teams, and I normally only bet on football, but I guess a blind follow from time to time will not hurt. Let's see how it goes. Hope I don't "mess up" your winning streak.

I wouldn't say it was lucky, they completely controlled the match on both halves, so although the goal was very late, I would say they deserved to win.
As for the League I completely agree with you. Chelsea is doing very well and will probably win this, but the other teams are so balanced, it's great to watch. I would like to see United on the fight to, but that's probably asking to much.

I guess this edition is being hard for everyone. We are on the last two weeks and top7 is between 20% and 50%.
Compared to the last competition, the value are quite low I guess. I already miss the side competition, I think I will give it another shot at the main one.

I don't think you have Sunday to bet, because in the schedule it says:

Side Competition schedule:
Group Phase: 12 to 18 December at 00h UTC

So I think you only have the rest of this day, and the entire Saturday until 00h UTC

I agree with you. Porto is doing much better now, and goals are starting to appear, so I will also bet on them.
They are playing home, and motivated for their last results, they should play well again, with the confidence boost from their last games.

Porto v Maritimo
Porto and over 2.5 @1.6

Completely agree with you, but only on poker or sport betting. If you are playing on roulette, then I don't believe in strategies so I just go with the flow.
Of course I have bankroll management rules, so I never end up spending more that I can afford.

Why do you say it like  game with yourself? When I play poker I'm not playing with myself, and my play really depends on what others are doing.
I agree with the luck and strategy part, but I don't understand the rest.

To be honest I don't really believe in methods on this type of gambling, but I'm still interested in knowing it, if you are willing to share it.
As for the question, I normally don't have profit in dice. I'm just very unlucky there, or I'm doing something wrong, because I have profit from time to time in casino, but in dice I always end my sessions losing. So I don't play for profit, and since I always lose, I can't have much fun there either, so I kind of just stop playing dice. Maybe I will try it again, if you share your method.

Today I'm going for Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool. These last teams are quite risky I know, but I will still go for it and make a parlay with all three. This will be more like a fun bet, or an instinct bet, let's hope it will pay off.

Parlay
Middlesbrough v Liverpool, Liverpool
C Palace v Man Utd, Man Utd
Sunderland v Chelsea, Chelsea
Total odds @3.77

Even playing for fun, you should feel some emotion I guess, otherwise why would you be playing it?
I know a few guys that even by just playing football, so no money involved, completely lose it, because they want to win it so hard that they get even violent when they are losing. So I don't think you are able to control it because you just play for fun. You are able to control it because that's the way you are, and probably have a good self control in other situations as well.

I tried dice, but I never win, so I get bored. Glad it's doing well  for you. What's your actual profit by the way?
I do like roulette, for me it's all the same lol, but I like the interface better I guess, and I do manage to get some profit there from time to time.

I know the house edge is smaller in dice, so I'm probably doing something wrong every time I play dice xD

I don't know. Casino normally don't offer much, so I don't even know what to ask. I like deposit bonus, but the rollovers are so high, that it's impossible to fulfill them. In sports betting I know exactly what I like. 100% deposit bonus, that are already available to bet with. This way I can just do the rollover, or try to lay the bet somewhere else and try to get the bonus all for myself. The casino is happy since I just lost a bunch of money, and I'm happy to, because technically I lost none, and actually made some profit.

I agree with the investment part, but I would do it in a much bigger value. I think 20-25% is not that much. If I had any reasons to believe that I could do it again, then keeping the most part of the profit to keep gambling and win some more would be nice, but I have no reasons to believe I could do that, so I would keep all of the profit, and just keep the double the value of my initial bet. That way I was free to try it again, and I would have alredy secured most of the profit.

If I kept winning I would keep doing it. So I would be securing profit, and increasing my gambling bankroll at the same time.

I do that sometimes, but I don't agree that is like you had never had the money. It's your profit, so the same way you withdraw the 200k, you could withdraw the 220, so you do have that money. Like I said I do it, but not in that line of thought.

I made the same mistake again. I was trying to bet 0.003, and ended up betting 0.03. It wasn't much, but the mistake itself is bad, because I could have been betting a lot more. I ended betting 10x more that what I intended, and although these values were small, it was still 10x more.

I also ended up losing the bet, and that really got me mad :/

I'm not sure I'm any good at any type of gambling lol, but I do enjoy playing poker, craps, roulette, and sports betting.
I tried many more, but I normally prefer these. Of course that when we talk about roulette and craps, since they are casino games, you can't really be good at it, but I guess I get lucky there, and I have some profit, which it good and not very common.

As for sports betting, I did well a few times in the Tipster Championship, sol although I don't think I'm very good at it, I also get some profit, which is good. Finally poker, I don't play so much now, but I used to win some online tournaments regularly. I never played really high stakes, but I did well in the stakes I played, and also got some profit.

To be honest I think you are over thinking it. It's gambling, you will lose in the long run, and there is nothing you can do about it.
You should control you bankroll, so you don't lose money you shouldn't be gambling, but that's about it. The rest is all about trying to get luck, and get out when you get it. I prefer to bet from 5% to 10% of my bank, but I don't do martingale. Yes sometimes I double it, but not doing a strict martingale.

Normally I bet between those amounts I mention, and I try to double or go bust, period xD

I also like this idea, but I don't think that the points should be kept from one phase to the other, because some users would get an unfair advantage on the knockout phase. I only prefer this idea to the normal playoffs system, because I think the competition would get stronger, since all players are receiving points, and the worst are getting eliminated.

With the actual system, one out of two "bad" players could still advance to the next round, just because they were matched together.
