Betting small amounts on a lot of matches or big amount on couple of matches?

[RapTarX]

I have been gambling a lot these days with soccer matches but I'm not enough lucky to make a profit. Howeber, I'm not into huge loss. It's very tiny amount if I check all the previous P/L.
I don't bet big amount. Usually, I bet $4/$5 worth of BTC on a lot of matches; sometimes I win and sometimes I loss. But that can't make me any profit.
Should I go for bigger amount of bets on few matches or stay with current strategy (placing many bets of small amounts)?

I run in to this same question for NFL often.  I have kind of gone through both "phases" throughout my gambling "career".  Personally I tend to perform better when I bet larger amounts on fewer games ( what I'm most confident in ) rather than try and spread out my "risk" on more games.  Just how it works out for me personally though.

I think it all depends on how sure you are on the bets, if you are 99% certain of a win I would recommend betting high, but if you don't know for sure, it's better to just bet small. I personally prefer to spread out by bets and bet smaller. If I gamble less than $10 on a bet I am not triggered if I lose and I can also go for riskier bets.
Maybe try a few more weeks your current strategy and see how it goes? We shouldn't abandon our strategies to fast.

Even if you increase the bet amount from 5$ to 50$, the end result would be same. You will remain on no profit / no loss ratio if you keep on wining some matches and losing some.
The right approach is to bet different amount on different matches. This is risky but then if you win a bet in which you have put 50$ and lost a match in which you bet with 5$, then you will be in profit.

As for me I'd rather bet in one $50 than $10 in 5 games, especially if I'm quite sure about the bet that's easy peasy. Low balls are actually for the game you does not really know and you just want to test your fortune. The thing with small bets with high number of games is that the risk is quite managed, losses can be easily seen so you can stop as early as possible. Different level of risk that one must consider.

Betting $10 on multiple games and having a game with good opportunity, I will rather bet such game higher. The new season has taught me some lessons, going with few games is far better than multiple games with lower bet. Though some of my friends do bet multiple games and sometimes make profit but not as when pick few games with good opportunity to win. So, I will embrace few games with big amount than the former.

Why would go into your previous strategy if you do see it that it cant really give you out any profits? Therefore, it would be more wiser if you do find another way
or options for you to have the chance on making money.We know that having multiple bets on small amounts would really divide up your concentration and analysis compared if you do just bet into several lines where you can really focus out on which things you should prioritize.You can make some try and find out
if it does work for you.Its not necessarily for you to put up big bets and always stick into that strict fund management.

Well, if you are a greedy gambler perhaps this is your choice, --to bet higher and higher just because you are aiming o gain money. Not just you are being entertained by the casino. Even a small amount to gamble if you can afford this, that is not a problem here. But I never tried to place my bet over hundred of dollars. I cant push myself to sustain my habit without a source of income from outside cryptocurrency. However, this question is quite personal to answer and which is you can still access this.

Dont try to accumulate lots of games if your bank is just limited, it is much better to have few bets with big amount on it which i do see much worth to do so specially if you do know much of the sport/player you are betting into not just on trying to scatter out on smaller parts without even knowing the chance of hitting the spot.Agree on the point above that if it doesnt work or isnt making money then you can try for another one and it might
give you some different result.Its just a matter of trial and error, knowing that this is gambling on sports where knowledge on a certain sport does have an advantage rather than rushing on making lots of bets without
any basis or just simply giving out random shots.

Its a sports match I dont think you can apply martingale here but you can apply your sports analytics skills by learning which is important in the sports for a team to win. Whether its a team sports or simply a boxing match. If you are just betting $5 for all the matches you tried, you just have to consider analyzing the skills of the players. For $5 bet I would start trying to check some players that might just result in an upset.

I think it is dependent on the gambler himself on how he can perceive that his funds will be way more useful and possible to potential profit because there could be instances that betting small amounts on many matches would be better than the other one or doing big bets on just couple of matches compared to the other one. It is a matter of analyzing the situation and foresee how you can make your money grow as a gambler. Either way, the important thing is you do know how to manage your bets to have long game plays and larger possibility of acquiring a win coming from the matches you got engaged.

In soccer, there's no eash peasy win, man, you know that. For instance, the current UCL champion Bayern Munich has lost to a normal team in Bundesliga; surprisingly almost everyone was playing other than Lewandowski. You can never be sure in soccer. This is where the risk is. You will never have good odds when you pick such good team expecting to have 100% win. The return will be low but once slipped, yoh have to lose a big amount.
Thanks for your suggestion though.

Well, there is an Initial Investment quote that is very interesting:

Like with virtually every money-making opportunity in the world, the more money you have, the more money you can make.

The rich get richer, eh?

That’s about right, yes.

And I probably agree with this. Betting more in only a few matches may be better than small amounts in more matches.
However, every decision will take risks and know your risk at first. Whatever strategy you take, it will result in positive and negative sides. But in this case, we should take the one with less negative sides. And it is right, none is easy in betting.

Previously, I think this article is also a good read in order to add our knowledge and inspiration about betting:

I suggest you limit your bet, it's not necessary to make a lot of bet, by limiting the number of your bets that would give you a better picture to put only your bets on the games that you are confident with your analysis, think that you don't need luck, what you need is knowledge that would build your skills to improve and bet consistently in the long run.

Not necessary, it's too risky, big or small amount you can still compute if you are profitable or not, the fact that you are still losing (though small only) that means you are not good yet, just improve your winning percentage then slowly increase your bet as you go further.

You are doing the right way if your goal in betting is just to have a small profit with a low risk. The only thing you should consider is the odds you are picking so that you can guarantee that you will still win even though some of your bet lose. For example, you can bet only on match that has an odds range to 1.6-1.8 so that you can guarantee that your chance of winning on all your bet will be in favor.

I believe you are betting on multiple bet with random odds that's why you can't have a stable profit so far.

assuming that we are talking about professional betting then bankroll management is a key , there is no big and small bets in professional betting
you simply divide your bankroll to X units and start betting these units according to the value that you see in the bet , the higher the value the higher the stake should be without going too crazy of course

the bets should be value bets of course cause bankroll management is useless when the bettor isn't betting value , the bankroll may just last longer but you won't make any money

I would say if you want to do it better keep it small and start tracking the bets you make to see if you are actually doing good after 1000 bets or so , it may take you several years to be certain about how good or bad you are but there is no other way to do it ( except maybe following verified tipsters )

[Wexnident]

As long as there's a certain amount of confidence, betting big on a couple of matches would provide more profit imo. Yes, spreading your assets on multiple matches could provide you better chances, but without a big enough funds to actually feel the profit coming in, there's really no point. It'd be a lot better to research a few matches and then lock on to a team you're guaranteed for sure to win. Though the odds would actually be lower since there are not only you assuming their team is going to win, but at the very least, profit is guaranteed.

Spreading bets may actually take time for you to actually see profits, but well, highly up to you and your preference when it comes to betting. Big amounts on couple of matches have the risk of also losing big amounts, but spread evenly, then your win and loss is even as well, it has both its prons and cons tbh.

I prefer to use a little money of bets to use bigger bets because we are not searching for winning. I see that you seem to want to familiarize yourself with a sports bet, so my suggestion will be like that because if you're going to win big, you need to know as much data as possible. Even if you use bigger bets, you will not have a chance to win if you don't have valid data.

Staying with the current strategy will be okay. Besides that, if you lose, that will not be a big loss in money. Using the money you can afford will be the best thing that you can always use in gambling games.

[imstillthebest]

you said you can win sometimes but those wins cant cover what you have lost or you can win without loosing but that wins are too small for you to say that you are already on profit . if you continue like this nothing will change on you . you need to change your betting style . you need to up your bets and foccus on smaller quantity of matches. in that way if you win , you feel that your wins are slightly big enough for you to stop . i was once betting small but i realized overtime that what im doing is nonsense because i cant reach my targeted profit

[Darker45]

Personally, I prefer to place bigger amount of bets on a few matches, only on those matches you strongly believe would give you a win. But you can always place varying amounts of bets depending on how convinced you are of the teams or odds you are betting on.

Sometimes I also place bets on teams or odds which I am very unsure of. But it would be with very minimal amounts.

The lower the risk, the higher the bet. The higher the risk, the lower the bet.
