When you see betting odds, do you mostly see the payout only, or do you also pay attention to the probability behind the odds?
I will look at the payout in the end, because before that, what I focus on is the possibilities and the reasons for the Odds given by the bookmaker. We can see the difference in the Odds provided by bookmakers for the same match. I guess it's because there are different assessments from the bookmakers for several possibilities that could happen. When I have decided on a bet, only then do I consider the amount to be wagered and the payout that can be obtained from the Odds. I always first look for matches that I would like to bet on, then I look at the odds that come out and decide whether it will be a single bet or a parlay. For me, the main thing is always how confident I am in the match, and not the odds that I can get. And my bet is fixed, so I only pay attention to how confident I am in the bet, and not how much I will bet, or how much I can win. |

I once read an interesting book about risk management and wealth creation, and one sentence in it really got me thinking. It said, "The risk has to be significant (otherwise, what's the point)."
In my opinion, if you take risks, you're essentially tempting fate. You're simply delaying the moment of losing your money. Does the risk have to be significant? Significant risk essentially means you're repeatedly putting your capital at risk, and sooner or later, you'll lose your money. Do you have such a significant edge that it allows you to win more often than you lose, even with the odds? I think when people write that it's not just about winning, it means they're gambling for the thrill and excitement.
If I think about risk as a bettor, in my understanding it means increasing the odds for each bet so that, in case of a win, the payout is really large. But at the same time, I understand that such bets will win rarely. And in betting, what I actually enjoy is the feeling of winning itself. So for me, it’s not so much about hitting a big win, but about experiencing frequent wins. If I get many small victories, I’ll be happier than if I get one big win once every couple of months or even half a year. |

When someone places a bet, they do so because they are fairly confident that their pick is the right one and will win, but the ball is round and anything can happen. For example, someone bet over the weekend that Leeds would beat Manchester United, a bet that paid out at 5/1, and made a good sum. Who would ever have thought that Leeds, in such excellent form, would beat Manchester United? Yet that’s exactly what happened. That’s why we can say that no one can be certain of winning a bet, unless they have inside information about a fix.
I think that for there to be players who are confident in an underdog’s victory, they must have some kind of reasoning behind it. You can’t just sit down one day, analyze a match, and decide to bet against Manchester United, especially when they were winning all their home games under Carrick. It was possible to assume that Leeds might score, but the idea that they would actually win seemed almost impossible. And yet, they did win, I think there were very few bets placed on a Leeds victory. |

It is not all gamblers that do gamble for money. Although, majority of people that are gambling are doing so because they want to make money and as a result they fail to see gambling as a game of chance. Winning isn't the only outcome that a gambler should expect from a bet , losing is also part of the outcome. So any gambler that understands this won't be disappointed if things didn't go the way they expected it .
Winning is the goal, if you don't win, don't despair that's why there are two options: win or lose but if you lose, the only thing you shouldn't lose is control. That's what you should always keep in mind that's why feelings are what make us lose. What always makes us lose are feelings when they can't be controlled: anger, joy those are the only things that can distort any plan. But it’s not just about experiencing emotions or feeling a bit of excitement over bets, there’s also a desire to win. So if I were playing and it was only about emotions without any return in the form of winnings, I probably wouldn’t be able to keep playing for long. For me, it’s important that wins and losses alternate at least to some extent, so I don’t see a significant drop in my bankroll. And if that balance is combined with the emotional aspect, I could continue playing even without a clear overall profit. |

A practical example of what you wrote, I'm not a lucky person, but I haven't stopped playing yet.
Luck knocks on the bold, if you don't risk anything it can never knock, so I keep playing (as far as my chances go) hoping to get a nice win sooner or later.
But if I didn't play at all, it's obvious that nothing would happen, although it could also happen that I would never win even though I played often.
The question is, who has the courage to face this risk?
I think that’s exactly how it works, players keep playing and end up losing more than they win. They realize that luck isn’t on their side, yet they continue because they hope that one day things will turn around and they’ll start winning. But I believe that for a player to start winning, it’s not just about luck suddenly changing, because luck is roughly the same for everyone. It’s more about changing the approach to the game or maybe adjusting strategies. In other words, it’s not about luck, it’s about the player. |

Many people have deceived in gambling through pursuing their losses in the gambling and i believe that if a gambler have a budget and also use a week intervals to analyze matches before booking or staking, they will be advantages of them to profit in gambling, so I believe that the mistake we make through gambling is our faults and it's a result of curiosity and greediness that make us to experience a lot of losses during gambling.
I think that when players try to bet too often, it becomes much harder for them to find good matches to bet on. I remember when I tried doing this myself and was placing bets almost every day. Nowadays there are so many matches and leagues that you can always find a game to read about, and even pick a bet. But those bets tend to be poor because I knew almost nothing about those teams or their leagues, I wasn’t aware of any news, motivation, or other important factors. And as a result I was losing those bets most of the time. That’s why I believe it’s better to place fewer bets, but truly understand what you’re betting on. |

Is having a fixed budget in gambling one way to avoid chasing losses?
Having a fixed budget might make sense for us not to be careless in chasing losses, unfortunately the fact is that fixed budgets don't last long, that's the problem, I see my friends can't maintain that fixed balance, they bet aggressively and with ambition so that the losing streak occurs again, so that emotions explode at the end of the story, they chase losses again, that's what happens in the gambling arena. I don't know and I'm not sure what percentage of us here are able to maintain a fixed balance, who knows how long they can maintain that fixed budget, so that they don't have to chase losses in gambling. If your friends are betting aggressively, then a fixed budget could actually help them stop in time. As I understand it, a fixed budget means limited funds that you’re not allowed to exceed. If they bet aggressively and lose that budget very quickly, it should serve as a hard limit they can’t go beyond. Alternatively, if they have a fixed budget but no fixed stake size, they should set a maximum bet amount they cannot exceed, so their bankroll lasts for a longer period of time. |

Not to sound negative but what if the game actually enters, remember gambling is just still a game of predictions but I get you for real. The temptation is still a temptation because you can also lose the game as well. If you don't want to place a bet, I don't think you should force it because it is still the same unpredictable result that will happen in the end.
Precisely, as you are inside gambling industry there's no such sure thing even how high you think the percentage of winning, upset can happen and if you're not willing to lose then better not to fall to any kind of this sure bet that's been claimed, better to have that kind of mentality to refused and to keep yourself away from any temptation that may lead you to regret losing what you can't afford to lose. I think it's normal if you want to get a bet tip from a fellow bettor that you both share your predictions but never be overconfident because of the overconfidence of the giver and you shouldn't be under pressure to accept anything. I think what matters most whether it's your prediction or from your betting friends is to use amount that you are comfortable to loose so no matter what the outcome is even if it's a lose you won't be frustrated. It is when you let the temptation of winning big to overwhelm you that you will be trapped and will accept anything that is thrown at you, always be in charge of your gambling decisions so you won't be addicted. Sometimes I enjoy watching other players' bets, but I never try to match them because I don't always agree with what I see. Ultimately, I'll only bet what I consider best. I don't have anyone to discuss my bets with, but I consider this an advantage because I learn to choose good bets on my own, and if my bet loses, I have no one to blame, because it was my choice, and I was confident in it when I placed it. |

Getting lucky with a few wins is certainly possible, I’ve experienced it myself and I’ve even won by relying solely on cashback. If we can accept that the end result might be a loss, it might make us think a little more wisely we’d avoid overdoing it or perhaps not do it at all.
Rather than winning every day, it’s actually losing every day that will happen if we gamble every day.
You can only play casino games every day, and you can't win in those games every day. And if you're a bettor, winning every day will be very difficult because you won't be able to find matches you can be confident in every day. I think to be a good bettor, you need to focus on a few championships, and maybe pay special attention to a few teams you know everything about. So yes, winning every day is impossible, and in fact if you play every day, you'll likely lose more. |

A much deserving win for Leeds, I didn’t think they could do it, I felt with Manchester United playing at home, a win against Leeds was inevitable but I was wrong, the inevitability was on. Leeds’s side and they made sure of it from the first half, trashing Manchester United with 2 goals before they could draw 1 back.
Leeds being finding ways to assure themselves a good space from the relegation zone and now with their head above water, they are 6 points in the clear with some good fixtures ahead and that’s a good one.
I expected Leeds to score in this match, but I didn't expect them to win. Leeds started well, and they were helped by Martinez's red card, which forced Manchester United to play with ten men in the second half. This is Carrick's first home defeat at Manchester United, and now Aston Villa and Liverpool are close behind, although they are still safe in the Champions League zone. They will soon play Chelsea and Liverpool, and these may be their toughest matches. |

Gambling addiction means increased mental stress, if a person addicted to gambling loses in gambling, then he becomes a neighbor of gambling again. And if that person keeps losing money like this, he keeps looking for money to enter gambling later. And he will walk around the neighborhood alone on the streets and sell something to someone and collect money to gamble again. Gambling addiction and drug addiction are similar. The addicted person behave kinda similar. They do almost anything to manage money for gambling/drugs. There is a very popular street in my country where drug addicted kids commit crimes. They can even kill people for a hundred dollars. Some homeless people live in the streets, and they mostly target single womens or elderly people. If the person is alone walking in the street, these addicted criminals do everything to people to get some money. I have seen a gambling addict trying to sell gold, a fridge, and phones just to manage funds so they can gamble again. They think that they will be lucky one day and win a huge amount and they will buy back these things again. When it develops into an addiction, it becomes scary because they'll do anything to get a little more money. I think drug addiction is scarier because they can't get by without a new fix, whereas a gambler can get by without gambling even if they don't have the money, they won't suffer withdrawal like a drug addict. But they'll still keep looking for money to gamble again, to win back their losses. So, you can't bet too much, because then you'll always be trying to win back your losses. |

Protecting your bankroll is the thing that we should remember so we don't feels sad if we lose money in gambling. We should keep doing that especially if you are often playing gambling. You have a chance to lose so you should preventing the lose bigger.
Many people still feels difficult doing this because that needs discipline that can change along your activity in gambling. At least we can try follows bankroll management and if we almost difficult to continue, we should stop gambling.
I think the most important thing is not to overcomplicate it, because gambling should still be fun, and if that's the case, the controls should also be simple enough to prevent it from becoming routine. I think having daily or weekly limits and a fixed bet is enough to allow you to play safely without the risk of losing everything in one day. If you have limits, you won't overspend and it won't upset you, so gambling can remain safe and maybe even enjoyable if you're lucky enough to win more often than you lose. |
