Target your wins in a series of bets

[Dickiy]

That is why this game is called gambling, none other than because there is always no real certainty for something you always want, it is true that no matter if you are a gambler who has good insight and knowledge in the field of sports but still all of them will not always be able to predict accurately, and some ways that others might say are good honestly I believe that it will not be completely accurate.

This is the part that most gamblers usually don't understand: They feel like, with their skill, all their bets are going to be successful. I mean, they put all their hope in that particular bet, and sometimes they go as far as making plans and budgets for the win, which they are expecting from that game.
 
Everyone who is new to gambling or who is already a gambler will be able to notice and realise this: There is no sure game in gambling, no matter the area, which you are fine at or which you can say you are very good at. The less they believe and accept gambling the way it should be, the less disappointment most people will be getting at the end of every game, which they don't play in their favour.

The problem is of course in terms of expectations, most gamblers, especially those who have just come to get involved, usually they always have high hopes especially if in the early stages of their involvement they are given a win by the casino, and also with the encouragement of the skills they have that when they win they will think that all the wins are purely the result of the skills and understanding they  have in the world of sports. Of course this is a very wrong understanding and not recommended, because after all, gambling will never be far from the name of risk.

That is the importance of proper understanding in gambling, sometimes even though you already have a pretty good understanding of the point of view on gambling it can not always keep you okay, because obviously a lot of temptations come when you are gambling and it disturbs  your brain and mind, so that is why there are still quite a lot of gamblers who violate the limits and controls that they have built at the beginning and finally they are stuck in a cycle of chasing victory or recovering.

That's a common challenge in gambling, the balance between ambition and emotional control. I feel It's weird to put ambition in something that is not capability-based activity. Being ambitious in the pursuit of big wins can lead to heightened emotions, making it difficult to have good decision-making, manage losses effectively. The desire to recover quickly from defeats can often result in a cycle of continued gambling without the desired positive outcome.

When people become overly ambitious in gambling, emotions can indeed take over, impairing rational mind. It's crucial for gamblers engaging in the activities to maintain a level-headed approach, acknowledging the element of chance and accepting losses as part of the overall experience. People need to develop a disciplined and controlled mindset as a key to responsible gambling. Limits are needed, both in terms of time and money. It can help prevent the negative consequences associated with unchecked ambition and emotional reactions.

For people who understand and understand gambling, then this is quite a surprising thing that they are so motivated to pursue victory, while this type of gambling is based on luck. but the name is also a gambling addict, it is not their name if they do not behave carelessly when playing gambling. And to be able to be controlled in gambling and in terms of financial management, for them it is a difficult thing to do. And struggle for that, to be able to determine when he has to play and when he has to stop playing gambling, it is very difficult for them to do. because they do not have firmness and self-discipline, even though someone has tried to remind him.

actually having ambition in gambling is not a problem, but the ambition that they have is too excessive to the detriment of themselves because indeed excessive things are not good. also expecting losses to be replaced is wrong, before gambling they should be prepared for the risk of losing their money or the risk of losing that will happen, also if they get a win they will accept it, right? and it should be so with defeat too, because when you lose and don't accept the defeat you get what can you do so that everything can come back? by returning to gambling it is not the solution.

someone who gambles again with the desire to get a win that can cover his defeat is wrong, until whenever I think they will not be able to cover their defeat, even if they spend hours gambling it does not guarantee that they will get a win, in my opinion just accept the defeat that is obtained, don't think too much about it, because gambling is a paid game.

There is nothing wrong with ambition and gambling. Because casinos never force anyone to play gambling. And involving an ambition and emotions when gambling, it must be involved so that we can enjoy the thrill and excitement of gambling. But if all of that is out of our control then everything will turn into a quite dangerous condition because it will result in heavy losses.

Gambling stands alone and so is our ambition, but we can pattern our own ambition to work inline to the way we gamble in other for all to turn into a desired expectations, when we are gambling, where our mind focus at is likely to be the most of our expectations and that alone can be described as where our ambition at the moment lies, but after which we are done gambling, do we still have the same desirability as to how we've got earlier while we are gambling or not anymore.

[goinmerry]

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

You forgot to tell us what will you do if the conditions are not met after a certain session?

Surely, you will just try and try until you hit that target series, right? What if the bankroll were wrecked first before even reaching that? It means you still have a chance to fall on the psychological effect of gambling you were referring to.

But it's nice to see that you were able to create an approach that is effective and good for you in the long run.

[hedgeh0g]

I just felt I should bring this up here maybe it will help someone in managing expectations and the entire gambling process.

From experience, I have realised that many people run into problems when they focused so much on winning a particular bet amd when such bet fails, they easily slide into psychological crisis.  Considering that gambling is a game of probability with the chances of losing higher than that of winning, it is therefore expected we work out ways of approaching it so we can remain profitable.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.

Professionals thinking in this direction. But even understanding such things, a long series of losses can knock you out of your emotional balance. In fact, I also began to think this way, but it was shaped by my thorny and very expensive experience in gambling for more than 10 years during which I saw a lot.

A beginner will not understand this, he will think with one bet that will change everything and this is his main mistake. It's like poor eyesight, which does not allow us to see further, but only those things that are located very close to us. Your thinking allows us to see far. This kind of thinking brings me pleasure and allows me to remain more calm.

But if all of that is out of our control then everything will turn into a quite dangerous condition because it will result in heavy losses.

it's like I said before. also casinos do not force people to gamble, it's just that this is all caused by their own actions that make them stuck in the gambling cycle and also harm themselves. are you saying emotions should be involved in gambling?
If that's the case I disagree, because involving emotions in gambling is disastrous for them, where they will experience a phase of greed that can drain their finances, and this has been widely discussed, that gambling with emotions is not a good thing.  someone who gambles well or wisely, can be destroyed instantly if their emotions peak when they gamble, this will make them lose self-control, where they initially play nicely can become chaotic just because of the emotions that arise. big losses are also caused by emotions that control us. It's not just gambling, all things that are done with emotions will certainly give less good or less than optimal results, not to mention less good can even end badly. also the fact is that emotion is a thing where the feelings that a person has can rebel. so I think gambling with emotions is not a good solution, because it will only bring problems or disasters that will harm them in large numbers. so it's better to gamble without emotions.

another statement, there are also many people or gamblers who gamble with emotions, where this happens when they are annoyed with the winnings that are difficult to get, so there are not a few gamblers who lose a lot of money too in not a small amount. and this has become a habit that often happens, where they are always emotional when playing gambling. i think they should minimize their emotions so that it does not become a reckless game, the losses that occur because of their emotions that rise and reckless gambling occurs without thinking about the risks that will occur. maybe in the beginning they have a target, and when they have reached the target curiosity can accompany them and make them continue the game and also with great risks that can be avoided but the chances are small. it's not strange that this happens because I myself often find things like this in my own environment, because it happened to my friend too, even when he was going to gamble and said "now if you get a win, you have to spend it". I'm sick of him saying that because it always doesn't match what he does.

I think there is a possibility that they still want to do gambling again because their hopes cannot be eliminated just like that, especially with the big wins that every gambler everywhere wants. Because someone who gambles especially with those who put great hopes in gambling to get a big win in gambling, when they gamble and get a loss they will not stop because the hope is still there, so it is likely that they will continue to try gambling until their hopes are fulfilled, sometimes also when they get a big win they don't cash it in because there will be a sense of dissatisfaction that encourages them to continue to get even bigger wins, they can target it at the beginning, but they can also change their goals when they reach the desired target. It is difficult to refrain from gambling especially when they get a win and they choose to continue the game because maybe they think their luck is still there and still valid so they think they can still get a bigger win. in my opinion, putting excessive hopes on gambling is not good, because it can trap us there and it is difficult to get out of that cycle.

[Assface16678]

I don't think this approach works as how OP said it. Sometimes, out of 10 games, you'll get 5, 10, or even more lose streak depending on your luck. So the title is a little confusing as to how will you target your wins in a series of bets. If you want less stress or pressure when gambling, gamble smart, manage your bankroll wisely. Don't focus to much on winning or even chasing your losses. Trust your gut feeling and luck and stay disciplined get out with even little profit when you can.

I agree. I think it's best to not aim for or set an expectation or goal of a desired number of wins because, as long as you don't get that number of wins, you will not stop playing until you notice that you are losing and losing more money. I think it's best that, for example, you limit yourself to betting on 10 bets only, and no matter what the result is, like 5-5 or 9-1 wins or losses, you will accept it even if the majority of the bets are majority. In that way, you will minimise your losses and will not overspend or lose control over the bets.

You are right; don't focus on the winnings alone. Also, don't always monitor your winnings; just keep on betting based on your number of sets of bets. I do this kind of method by setting up a set of bets, and whether I win or lose doesn't matter; I will accept it.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.

Let's say you set aside $1000 for 10 games, and you staked $100 on each game with 5 odds and above. If you win 4 out of the 10 games, it means you'd get atleast $2000, making a profit $1000. However, it's easier said than done. You're not the first person to have thought about this or tried even it? Winning a single bet of 2 odds sometimes, is not a walk in the park, talk less of 5 odds. I know some of persons like playing big odds but it's not that easy to get 4/10. If you're successful the first time, you may not be the second time.

I agree with this.

Considering the other outcomes before achieving the main goal should be done as well to avoid disappointment from unexpected turn of events. Because it is really possible that you will run out of fund before achieving that series of wins. Then if that would be the worse case scenario, then you should foresee it and make a back up game plan. It isn't easy to achieve winning results bet after bets. There will be times you won't get as much luck as you expected and you predicted so you should leave a room for error and other possibilities. It's good to establish your boundaries in this case so you won't go overboard your capabilities.

Putting hope or even increasing expectations is the same as you want something with the assumption that 90% must happen and obviously with such an approach it is very likely that if the final result loses then your level of disappointment will be much higher because from the beginning you have set the amount you want to win, not only that, on the other hand I think there will still be other trials or that means when you do manage to win but the amount cannot reach the amount you expected then obviously you will not stop and instead continue, the question is whether you will be able to reach such an amount? not necessarily and maybe you even run out of all your previous winnings.

That is one approach that is not recommended and should be avoided, as you said that if they lose then obviously they will continue to play by depositing more money to achieve the planned victory, yes your advice is quite good, and in conclusion never target the amount of victory because it is the beginning of many disasters, they must return to the initial understanding that gambling is nothing more than a game of chance, so there is no certainty whatsoever so it makes no sense if you target the amount of victory. Bet with the amount you can afford and don't put any expectations, after all if you are lucky then you will win.

[0t3p0t]

4 winnings out of 10 bets is quiet hard to achieve in gambling. I personally experienced a first win trap with slots and what happened next was a losing streak so for me this depends on your budget if you can have that 10 bets but usually I can only afford like three bets win or loss. I am not that lucky with slots even before that is why I refrain playing games like that.

You can't remain profitable in gambling, the only way to remain profitable is to not gamble at all, because there is no game that will give you constant winning without taking money from you, if you have this mind of staying in profit while gambling you are making this whole thing up.

Gambling is not a business where you sell brand to consumers, gambling is not a job where you get paid after using your skills at work, gambling is an act of predicting an outcome of something far greater beyond the human sense, we can't see the future.

Have less expectation, rely more on your job and business, risk small money in gambling, have hopes and dreams on your skills, you will live a healthy life compare to someone who believes in nonsense, you are not in control, those who make money on your own losses are the true profit earners.

Slots are game of luck and you can never be sure of your chances of winning in slot games, in contrast to sports betting which can still be predicted and allows you to increase your chances of winning.
Although I also not sure about what the OP said about a series of betting strategies like that, this cannot be related to you betting on slot games.
Try to understand again what the OP meant.

By betting on sports, we can increase our chances of winning at the odds we choose and feel it is worth betting on, but there are various outcomes that could occur that could result in the bet we make losing.
Choosing number of bets and being able to get several wins may seem easy and if we think about it, it feels like we can win more, but in real terms the only thing that happens is defeat.
I bet in sports betting with analysis and predictions based on experience and knowledge but it is still difficult to win as stated by the OP.

[Maslate]

~~those who make money on your own losses are the true profit earners.

If this is on sports betting, yes, that's right because it's one side vs the other side, one side will only win and you are good if you belong on the winning side.However,  if it's for the casino, it's the house that wins most of the time, and with this, you'll likely lose your money in the long run if you think of getting into it seriously.

Your skills might earn you money in other way, like business or job. So the amount you win should be carefully manage, don't put it all in gambling especially if you don't have the skills to win, just play for fun and your life will be peaceful. People would only hate gambling if they lose so much, but in reality, they hate themselves for being irresponsble.
