Accumulating small odds or choosing one or two big odds

[madnessteat]

I rarely bet on soccer matches and rather do it not for the opportunity to make a profit, but for the sake of sports interest. I've lost more than once betting on my country's national team in international competitions, but I got upset not so much for the money lost as for the team itself.

I guess that will not be too important for me as I prefer to get wins from sports betting. Whether that is small odds or two big odds, if that can give me the win, I will be happy. I will be more concerned with how much money I will use to place the bet so that it will not make me feel too sad if I lose. But I do not like to place too many bet amounts as that can make funds overused and make me unable to use the funds to place the other bet that I have almost accurate information.

Personally, I enjoy working with multiple small bets of around 1.5x-2x each.

They tend to stack up pretty easily, and as long as you are not going too overboard with the parlays you will always have a decent chance of hitting.

Having one or two big odds sounds great on paper, but they rarely hit. There is a reason why bookies offer these sort of odds in the first place, and it's certainly not for charity. Nor should you go with minuscule odds under 1.2x, these are simply not worth while.

Is it accumulating small odds? Or betting on one or two big odds?

dude this is one thing that made me laugh because it reminded me of the early days when i did sports betting, it was a headache i had. but I'll give an example to make things easier:

i made @1.50 odd bets, i managed to have 3 or 4 consecutive wins, but the problem was that as time went by my profit was low and every time i lost money my bankroll was reduced. that's when I realized that making a bet with an odd of @1.50 is not something viable in the long term, the minimum odd that in my opinion is viable in the long term is an odd above @1.70 in some cases, it can be an exception to make a bet with an odd of @1.50 or more

I don't gamble on in-play during matches I only play and accumulate maximum of  3 Matches to obtain 2.0 odds which I might said are sure bets e.g betting Man City vs Fulham is sure a bet to me though the odd might be small picking two more similar matches will guarantee a brighter chances of winning such bettings although a thorough analysis might be required to win most bets  most importantly is following a league that is well known to you personally I am Keen follower of EPL every week including FA and carabao cups thus I will be easy for me to pick my favorite or potential winning team in any match I don't bet on correct score but I can bet on both team to score BTTS.

Honestly, I tried that experiment before, I had some success in the beginning but in the long run, I still lose. That's still considered as a parlay, small odds added together in a single bet, but eventually, our real chance will excel in the long run and we will lose. Therefore, I learn from my mistake, and I started betting on odds of 1.90 and up on a single bet only, if I make parlay it should result in high accumulative odds and I do it for fun with a small amount only.

I will like people to comment on how they stake, strictly on football matches. Did you prefer to choose straight win? Did you like to choose correct score? Have you chosen correct score before and won it? Did you like playing 10 minutes over 1.5? The best accumulation you ever staked?

Small opportunities continue while big opportunities are in sight. Therefore, I bet more for big opportunities with risks that you already know. But depending on comfort, maybe you are comfortable with small odds and collect it big and then bet on it as a whole, it will be very painful. Collect and you at once spend it in the end.

Gambling is fun and we should take it for fun, people should not be addicted, they should play good and making it not necessary. I gambled over the weekend when I have time, it makes good sense to me, my budget is not more than 5% of my monthly income. This thread is focused on we that have fun while play bet, even if we lose, we are not sad, we are not affected negatively or depressed, but if we win, another money for beer has been received.

After all your experiences about gambling on football matches, which one has been coming with the best result? Is it accumulating small odds? Or betting on one or two big odds?

Both can be profitable, at the end of the day everything is going to depend on which one is the one that you find the easiest the produce profits, assuming that you are a gambler that can play with an advantage due to the huge amount of knowledge that you have about a sport I think it is better to go for the small odds, and the reason for this is that we know that over the short term you can lose many times even with a winning system and at that time the only thing that is going to protect you are your money management skills and as such it is better to select matches with low odds instead of just a few ones with big odds.

Im with betting on one or two big odds rather than on going with accumulating one. Most bets would be directly be on straight winner and wont tend to go for another line like time and scores.

but i do able to experience on betting with those but i dont feel up the thrill or interest because i do much prefer on straight wins as long the odds were considerable or worth the risk.

Think of it as a form of entertainment on the weekends. It has become a gambler's routine if they face the weekend will soon know where to look for entertainment. Entertainment doesn't always have to be about visiting beautiful places, because gamblers think gambling casinos are more beautiful than any other place. Regarding making decisions for small and large opportunities depending on compatibility, as for me personally I prefer to take big opportunities.

Your knowledge about the game is very important, it will decide if how you'll be able to accumulate your winnings, I'm more with over and under and sometimes I also bet with both team to score, not that much as my budget are limited for gambling, I'm doing it with spare money and trying to accumulate some more earnings when luck permits me to win my bets.

Like what you've said, both can generate profits if you understand the game well, if you know the teams and players performances, you can anticipate what will be the best option to bet your money.

I've always had more success doing specific bets with longer odds, than going for favourites. For example, predicting x to win, while keeping a clean sheet or x to win, but under 2.5 goals. That way you can quite easily get odds up to 5.00 for the favorite, and up to 20.00 for underdogs. In the Premier League teams like Burnely who are notoriously good at defending against bigger teams by sitting behind the ball are a great bet for the odds.

I don't really make it as a big deal choosing over accumulating small or betting over two or more odds. As long as I enjoyed playing the game and got odds that completes my betting probabilities, then I'm satisfied over it. Staking any further hasn't come at any circumstances, because I grab every opportunity when I saw chances of any possibility.

One or two big odds are far better! It's easier to find one or two big odds, especially if you follow the sport you are betting on and you have some knowledge about the teams! Focusing on what you know, plus some extra research before the game can help you in making a profit in the long run!
Accumulating small odds looks simple and easy, but when you try it (like many of us did) you will realize that every time some favorites will disappoint!

Not that really worth on focusing with multiple lines with smaller odds because one lost then all of those profits would be wiped out unlike when you do just bet 1-2 bets with bigger odds then

you could at least attest that you could really make profit with less selection as long those are included into those sports that you do know then it wouldnt really be that a problem

but even though there are people whom do really love to scalp out small odds and i cant really blame them off since this is just really a personal preference.

Sure. Even from the point of view of mathematics, it is clear that being in profit after making several bets is much more likely than being in profit after many small bets. The longer the distance, the more likely our deposit is with the bookmakers. Therefore, I am a supporter of making a few big bets. Plus it gives a good adrenaline rush which is hard to get with small bets.

Accumulating small odds or choosing one or two big odds

I will take it as we have three options here.
Something I have learnt from gambling is you are better off going for one big odd than the smaller ones. Why do I say so, if you place say 5 single bets on odds of 4, should you be placing $10 bets on each and of the 5 you only win 1 that means you have only lost $10 while these small odds of single bets can lead you to chasing your losses as one loss means you need to win 4 to 5 games which put more pressure on you.
For accumulators these tend to be good to grow capital but strike rate of winning is usually low, so just stay away from these.

[Cling18]

Since gambling is risky, I usually prefer choosing big odds one at a time and I only allocate a certain budget for it so I won't get addicted. I also prefer doing it in my free time so I could focus on it. As for me, gambling is to be enjoyed and not a reason for us to feel stressed and depressed. Betting over and over again after continuous losing would only lead us to regrets.

[Vaskiy]

When I want to examine my luck, choose the bigger odds without knowing much about the team and it's players. When the choice is to win, I prefer the low odds. If not I prefer the matches in which the odds were close with both the teams. In these matches it is possible to reduce the loss if something goes out of our winning prediction.

I agree if you're selective enough with the matches and markets you pick then it could work both ways. I've seen other gamblers pull off crazy $1k+ challenges just by going all in 5-10 times on low odds and there's also an nba punter who'd go for underdogs above 5.00 his record was bad but I remember he made a decent profit. The hardest part in every strategy is to remain consistent since there will be a time where you'll end up losing countless times.

[imstillthebest]

which one has been coming with the best result? Is it accumulating small odds? Or betting on one or two big odds?

best result is of course betting in small odds because you can easily win on them but betting on higher odds makes you loose more often tho my playstyle would be compose of the two .
 i first play safe in smaller odds and by the time i collected some coins i will use this to play in higher odds .
 its okay if i loose because i already secure most of my funds .

[Zilon]

I'm not too good in predicting with accumulated odds I rather go for a straight win and it's pays off most of the times. I gamble only 10% of my monthly income and decipline myself enough not to exceed it unless I have won extra income on my bet then I can go as far withrawing a certain percentage then increase my stake for that month.
