Accumulating small odds or choosing one or two big odds

[Oshosondy]

Both options have risks so you need to weigh the advantages here from your end.
Usually, small odds will really give you high assurance of winning, however, as you said, one loss, your profit will be wiped out.
Either way, I look at this situation as case to case basis. If you are very familiar with the sports that you are betting on, you know which one to place your bet with high percentage of winning.
Small or big odds, it doesn't matter, if you are living and breathing that sports.

But people need to be careful of small odds, I have noticed betting on small odds can bring about two things

1. Accumulation, accumulating bets has its own risk, I do not accumulate more than three matches, getting more than 3 matches is more risky, but people can accumulate like 10 or more matches. I have seen a friend that accumulated over 30 matches before, not surpsired me he lost many of the matches.

2. If not accumated, low odd which still make it risky, someone can win 5 matches while losing the sixth can take all the money staked and money won from someone immediately. That is why I prefer to make it three matches.

Any opportunity will be profitable if we can bet well. As you said it is important and whether small or big occasion we enjoy it with pleasure is the best way to do it. Sometimes gamblers bet for big opportunities and fail, but small opportunities that can give victory are not taken. The only problem is that greed is endless.

You can find that opportunity but you do not have to feel confident to chase that opportunity because that will not guarantee you to win on that odds. Yes, it is right that some gamblers bet for big odds to win big, but many fail and lose their money. I agree that greed will be on their side because the prize is too big, so they think they can try to win. That is why we must control ourselves to prevent greediness become bigger so that it will not impact us.

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.

I think 10% of monthly income going to gambling is rather on the high side except for you gambling is a source of income and not totally fun or you are doing it as investment. Usually 10% is should go for things as important to live, like savings, health, rent, feeding but not gambling but when you see your gambling habit as investment, that can be cool then.

Well 10% is huge if your salary is enough and you have many bills or debts to pay off but actually for some gamblers who already set their finance to different things well I think that 10% is enough for them to lose since that money is for their own entertainment. Maybe we have separate opinion towards this but actually this exist already, I know others can't afford even the lowest but my suggestion if there money is not enough for daily living maybe they should set aside their gambling vices since this one could wrecked them.

You are right, the gambler needs to have a breakdown of his expenses for gambling. Financial management in gambling is very important so that we can control the conditions of defeat and can also calculate the amount of income. Everyone must have managed it well, although there are still some who don't pay attention to what percentage they have to bet.

This is the main priority to do by a gamblers since its so hard to get broke if all things will not fall on the place we like and we will lose everything we have if we didn't do proper self control towards spending our money on gambling. That's why we need to manage well our funds so that we will not get stress and can feel relax while playing.

I am assuming by small odds you mean those bets where the wins are almost guaranteed, right? In that case, your risk is low, but the profit is also low. You will be getting small profit, but one bet that goes against your prediction, you will lose everything. Imagine winning 10 small odds, and then losing the next one losing all your profit and also making some loss. That would be a waste of time. I would rather prefer betting on one or two big odds. Those that has 50-50 chances. You either win, or you lose.

I agree, do not force to bet for match bets that are not aligned with the opposite. As well as making a person lose everything, it also means that he is betting not in complete self-aggrandizement. Betting on a few small odds doesn't really yield that big of a profit, but based on and not against itself, I think it's much better.

if that is a working strategy, then it would be easy to make money in sports betting. What I learned from sports betting is I always look at the value, whether it's an underdog or favorites, you can always find a value, but odds like 1.30 and below, I don't find it attractive, instead I find it too risky.

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.

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?

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?

For most of the times, I just try and Gamble based on my favorite players and my favorite team and most of the times it's not even for professional use but it's rather for fun therefore I do not like to put that much effort into it. Confidence for me comes from actually knowing the person who is playing on the field which is not only personal but also have a sense of security for me. I do believe that people should gamble for fun and not to earn money. Even if you win a couple of times straight you do not just for and get addicted. There is never a guarantee!! So only do it for fun.

[danherbias07]

Depends. But I like the high risk stakes. Like if a team is so bad but they can win against strong teams. I'd prefer to bet to the losing team with full money line and no handicap than betting for the other with just a little profit or risk a big handicap and lose the bet. I guess it could be called situational.
I am the underdog type of a gambler and I can say I never lose a lot in the long run.
Say I took small bets for over 20x odds and I always think I can win one out of 20 bets to equal the loss or it will be better if I can win it earlier with 10-15 time I took the same bet. Capital is the only problem in this situation. It's not a one time bet.

Some gamblers prefer to bet a risky one because it has a bigger prizes if it's going to win but one should know the right time to bet even if they say the odds are too small yet the prize is too high. Some of the odds aren't reliable especially when it's below to what you expect it to be in order to win because some of it is just like a suicide which means you will probably lose and the chances that your team would win is very minimal.

Just having a self control will take you to the winning spot and enough patient to control greediness. And also avoid using your emotions everytime you gamble and you will certainly enjoy playing gambling in the long run.

Yeah for sure those things been mentioned about small odds would be most likely to be favorite which means you do have the high chance of winning it but we know that there are small odds which
arent really worth for the risk for your to make bets on because you would need lots of wins before you can double out your capital not compared to bets which would make out big wins
neither 2 or 3 more which will 2x your capital or already in profit which i can see to be more worth rather than on 1.01-1.1 which i dont see for it to be intresting numbers for
you to put up some bucks on a particular bet.

[Johnyz]

Not much to do gambling and i straight to which team win in a football match.  And usually i bet only big teams play. What fun with it is when we bet on small odds (and of course i only bet small amount because i am not really a gambler) but we still lose. Sometimes their game end with draw or the big team is on lose position.

I’m also an occasional gambler who only bets on my favorite team and this is why I go big bets especially if the opponent is no that strong, I also have small bets and it is still fun to watch, maybe it will always depend on which team you are supporting with and if you’re happy with it, any bets will do. Just place your bet that you think is already enough for you, small bets will always be fine as long as you afford it.

It really depends on many things I would say. If I gamble in a more serious way, I usually put some effort into making the right bets. I almost never bet on exact results. In that case I prefer an under/over bet. In rare cases, for example when Atletico Madrid plays, I do bet on a 1-0 for them in both home and away games as they really often score that result but still the odds are decent every now and then.

What I also like is to bet on the team with more than 0.5 corners in the first five minutes. Usually there is always a team that is known for starting strong and aggressively in the first five minutes. I have had it right on a decent number of occasions and the odds are often around 3.0 - 4.0. Just what I like to bet, but usually more long-term in-game bets.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

I'm not really into sportsbook but I only do it when my favorite team is playing. and more often about e-sports like dota. cs go . personally i think betting in sportbook it's not about how big or small the odds are. but about the chosen team. It's useless to choose high odds but always lose. sometimes the odds given are through strong analysis. and also better to bet on a balanced match or team you really know.

[Saint-loup]

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?

It's a newbie question but it doesn't really make sense, you can achieve the same result by the 2 ways. The most important thing is to bet on odds with value that is to say undervaluated compared to the real chances of the outcome. If you bet on an outcome @1.1 while real odds should be @2.0 you have 50% chances to lose and 50% chances to only win 10% of your stake.

Yes, testing luck is not a problem for you or others but we must remember that we control ourselves and the games and not let the games possess us without having a chance to quit gambling. I am sure we actually have the power to say it is enough to play gambling, but we often reject that and say the next rounds will be ours. We must take a fast decision so we can quit gambling before it is too late for us.

Some gamblers prefer to bet a risky one because it has a bigger prizes if it's going to win but one should know the right time to bet even if they say the odds are too small yet the prize is too high.

You are right. Sometimes, gamblers can feel confident of winning the game because they think they have a good analysis that can help them choose the right team or player. But sometimes, they forget that the opponent team or player can surprise in the middle of the games and turn back the situation.

So even we think that we have an accurate analysis of the match, we still need to be careful placing the bet and having self-control will always be necessary and a must in gambling. We can avoid placing a big bet if our analysis does not have a big chance to win the games.

It is useless to make bets based only on whether the odds are high or low. It is useless to choose high odds for its sake but it is equally useless to choose low odds for its sake also. Odds are given through strong analysis of experts but if you look at the results, it is not always that the low odds win.

When I bet I also give weight to the team or player who I think will be the winner. That's regardless of the odds.

The most obvious advantage is that betting exchanges offer an unlimited number of possibilities. For example, you can bet the outcome of a match with ridiculous odds and if someone else bets the opposite you can win or lose depending on the event our statement is not a matter of the type of bet or the market as long as a player has to bet with the opposite adversity, you will have the opportunity to bet successfully on the platform. Whatever the disadvantages, it is important to make sports betting more attractive and challenging.

For me these large number of possibilities to bet on a match is rather distracting than an advantage. u know there are skilled gamblers who can make very high profits on combi bets. But every time I am combing multiple bets I tend to lose one of the bets and all the money is gone. Having so many possibility makes it harder for me to choose one. So in the end the best for me is to just bet on who is winning, even though the payoff is lower.

Responsible gaming always find a higher chance of winning even it's only have small amount of profits, they are good in collecting small bets and they are willing to spare lots of time inside the game house,

More into your personal choice, if you are looking for big winning taking high risk game or parlay games will give you quick outcome.

But if you are only concern in winning even in a slow pace, betting with high chance winning with low odd is good enough for you.

At least you'll not lose a lot of money betting on the parlay, just like putting your money in a lottery, low chance of winning but if you are lucky, you'll eventually make a lot of money. I also try to parlay bets sometimes, just for fun, who knows I will hit the jackpot, but I know making it consistent will also cost me a lot of money in the long run, so I just do it occasionally.

Allocating a monthly budget is a good strategy to manage your money. I do the same to limit the losses.
I personally don't have any particular strategy while placing my bets. I just go with my gut feeling and the most probable bet that I think could win.
I don't really care if the odds are small or big but most of the times the odds are small.
