Following the pros...

[Oasisman]

As I continue doing my research on how to win long term, I came across some info saying casual bettors usually make around 3–10 bets a day, while pros can go from 20 up to even 100 bets daily depending on their system and data.

So now I’m thinking maybe I’ll try to follow what the pros do and see what happens, just to test how much volume really matters in betting results.

How about you guys, do you also go for volume bets, or you belong more to the casual side and pick only a few plays per day?

The word is "pro" that literally means professional, and that may require full time, if not, most of your time.
Also, going for a volume bets may result to volume losses as well, which does not guarantee long term profit. Depending on your risks appetite, you may follow these style of betting but we also have to remember, being a pro at gambling is not for everyone. In fact, only a select few have achieved it so far.
So, for me, i don't think I can go for a volume betting. I'd rather be in a safe side than being sorry in the latter.
I'm being pro at other things but not with gambling lol.

You only know that pros make up to what? 50 to 100 bets a day, do you know the kind of games they bet on? Or when they decide to bet? Or whether they decide to cash out and rebet… these and many others are things that should be taken into adequate considerations before deciding to copy someone’s strategy…

You are absolutely correct, some people do not know the actual methods or strategy that a pro could be applying in betting that is making them to still bet consistently, it's just about copying one method and then think that you have seen it all, meanwhile there's a hidden method that was not known. Who ever tries to copy another person's method and copy wrongly will bear the consequences too.

Some gambler think that gambling is like some kind of schoolwork that you can simply copy the answer from someone else and just pass, but in reality, when you copy someone blindly, especially when you don’t have full glimpse of the reasoning, the discipline and the risk behind the approach, or even the hidden parts of that approach, you put yourself in a very risky position where you can easily end up losing or cleaning out your bankroll faster than you can imagine.

This pros may actually be people who may have chosen gambling, sports betting as a profession, they have nothing else doing physically and have all the time in the world to carry out a research on every single game you plan to bet on,  and also know how to analyse the match to know how has a better chances of winning and the one that may not win.

There is a part of my country where there is this common proverb which when translated to English simply says "when a creyfish decides to go live in the depth of the sea where sharks, whales  and other top fishes live, there is a very high chance that that creyfish will end up getting eaten up by other top fishes that live in the water.
Following the pros to gamble as they do may lead to some major mistakes which could negatively affect the person's finances. So for me, I think it's better to remain in ones ability of doing things, (not just gambling alone) than to try copy someone else who may even be performing based on their own ability as well.

Damn, that kinda hurt my feelings..

But honestly for me, I think copying is the best approach if there’s really a working strategy. I’m not ashamed of it, at the end of the day my goal is to be profitable in sports betting. Some people hate seeing that idea because they don’t believe it’s achievable. But for someone who’s optimistic and actually does their homework, they’ll understand that a gambler who thinks that way isn’t being delusional.

Since you have been copying and arrived at it to be a best approach to you, and hanging on the school of thought from all gamblers that no strategy guarantees wins,

have you found any long duration strategy that was effective and profitable for you, using your copy and paste approach?

I'm curious to learn of that strategy, cause just like you I believe any thing is achievable and not all course are delusional to follow.

Following pros can help, but their results don’t translate directly to casual bettors. Pros manage bankrolls strictly and take value bets, while most people chase odds emotionally. Even when copying someone, you still need limits and your own risk tolerance.

Do you follow anyone for strategy, or do you usually make your own picks?

[Rashlyowl]

When you say you’re doing what the professionals do, you’re not relying on luck to decide the outcome of your journey. It’s more about probability and the stats you’ve analyzed. It’s unrealistic to say we haven’t reached their level just because they’re “luckier.” The truth is, they’re simply better overall.

Luck is just a positive or negative swing, (there’s good luck and bad luck ) so you can pretty much cross it out when you look at the long-term picture.

We can't determine 'luck', but we certainly hope it will happen. The right step is to be more careful in developing a plan or strategy that is consistent with reality, so that the desired results can be maximized. In fact, I believe these professionals craft their strategies very well, encompassing the whole, not just a single point. This is highly worthy of emulation & implementation in developing a perfect strategy & hopefully, achieving maximum & profitable results.

Before you think about following the steps of pro gamblers you must ask yourself what they do to actually get all that money to place more than 20 different bets in a day, not everyone has the financial capability to do that. Most of these people have ways they make money, it can either be through vip predictions they sell online or other means of creating a source of income for themselves. Placing more than 20 bets a day doesn't increase the chances of winning and this is not what qualifies anyone to be a pro bettor it takes more than that

[LUCKMCFLY]

Honestly, 20 bets a day seems like a lot of work to me. I barely do 2 or 3 a day at most, 2 is better, if it's 1 I'm happy with that, but I'm not a professional and I don't want to be a professional in the game either, that involves a lot of risk, I don't think a professional follows their own analyses, I imagine they have a work group working for them.

If not those who take betting as a full-time job, who will actually have the time to predict and place bets up to 20 times in a single day? Don't they have other things to do with their time? And how will they even be doing it? They will have to make some bet on a random selection, or they probably have to spend time and combine all the games together into a parlay.

I would definitely be crazy enough to do something like that every day.
I realize that I still gamble a lot nowadays but doing it with a benchmark like what you OP said is definitely something that I wouldn't be able to do at that stage.

Because for me exceeding what we have set from the beginning is not very good and it could be that when we follow other people or professionals even though it is still when we are not able to it will endanger ourselves.
Not that I don't want to get a win in this case but exceeding the capacity of what we consider as a limit is tantamount to killing yourself slowly because everyone has their own benchmark in gambling that is done and I think the condition where pegging bets every day is clearly not something that most people can do including for myself because I realize the consequences cannot be borne if I follow this method.

Casual or pro gambler, in as you are gambling responsibly because of the amount of wins the pros encounter, some gamblers wants to rush being a pro and becomes addicted, moving from casual to pro responsibly means you are improving in your knowledge and skills, but you have to be very careful and patience and remember it is a gradual process not rushing, because those pros you see there did not just start today and it is time consuming, it is better for those persons that sees and take gambling as their job.

100 bet tickets per day as in the job of the bettor? Not as if it can't happen anyways.

The number of slips per day can affect winning but some days it might not mean anything, the most common event in betting will just happen(red).
For me, this can just be given a trial (however calculated) to see the possibility behind it.
Betting casually some how helps manage the chances of becoming addicted.

Most who can do those number of bets are full-time sportsbettors, with good financial status. Because if you are doing a regular job, you won't have time to follow all the matches and still bet on it. So if you have no time as well as good amount of bankroll, better not to follow those high rollers or bettors. Because like it or not, you can't keep up with them. Just use whatever extra funds you have and be contented to the number of bets that you can afford. If you will follow those pro bettors, you won't last long as for sure, they have long rope when it comes to bankroll.

[Asuspawer09]

On experience this is usually works, I just win a lot more when I do a large volume bet instead of just doing huge but only a few bets, I usually lose easily with that strategy, but when I do a lot of bets with a smaller bet it is usually whats going to win with a little bet of tweks I could win a fair amount on betting even on scatter which I usually do. Still I dont know if it was just some kind of coincidence or it is a valid strategy in gambling but that is how it usually turns out when I do it.

Also, these professional gamblers are usually doing gambling as their job in order to make a living for sure, so that is probably when they are sticking to these high-volume bets, because it is just what they do all the time, so they usually make a lot of bets every day. I guess in the end the boat is still the one that is going to always win the bets, and everything is still dependent on luck, most of it doesnt really matter as long as you have a concrete strategy that works, it is good enough for sure. What's just important is you are gambling responsibly and having to risk only what you can afford.

That’s why we call them pros, because they’re focused on what they’re doing. They know their stuff, and if they make volume bets, it’s because that’s their strategy. For most of us here, we probably think it’s just a waste of time and money since almost no one can really be profitable long term in sports betting… but who knows, we might be wrong.

Whether or not you are a pro gambler before you can afford to place multiple bets in a day you need to have enough money for it, if gambling is not giving you enough profit you need to get money from other sources. No need to emulate professional gamblers if you don't have the capacity to be betting like them, either they are betting big from their wins or they have other source that they fund their accounts. I don't think that gambling should be treated like a profesion, if you depend on it to survive it will be difficult to sustain a living when you are on losing streaks.

Is true seeing a huge win from a pro can motivate a casual gambler to be like one without considering the efforts and hardwork, energy and resources put in place to achieve what they have heard of or seen, everyone should stick to work best for them and within your guts but if anyone have what it takes and they are willing to make those sacrifices then so be it but should aware of the prevailing potential risk and benefits before hands, am a casual gambler i only admire the courage of those pros and i don't intend being one soon because am cut up with some many things to do than that.

I’ve heard that there are people who are actually profitable in sports betting, but honestly, I still haven’t seen anyone I personally believe is really doing it. So at this point it just depends on us if we want to believe it or not.

Most of us start gambling for fun, then later we become ambitious and aim for profit. But if that’s the goal, we also need to change our strategy and try to act more like a pro.

In the end, it’s easier said than done, but I’m not saying it’s impossible.
