The fact that you have once won 60 USD by following a tip on this board cannot lead us to conclude that this is a profitable board for beginners.
I agree that the tips or predictions shared here may not be 100 percent accurate but generally, it can give you a good idea and help you make your decision on betting. There is a lot of information and views being discussed and it is surely knowledgeable to read them.
I believe there's a lot of very good bettors in this forum to follow.
I remember when I hosted an NBA tournament in our local section. There's this guy who won in the tournament. He seemed special because he was too good with his predictions. He was first in the our elimination round. It was a right minus wrong tournament with +/- on the matches to make it more difficult and challenging. In his 17 days, he predicted correctly 48 games against only 8 losses. It actually came to my thought of betting a little on his picks. He seemed pretty well-disciplined too by not picking all the games available, it was like quality over quantity. Nonetheless, I never bet on his picks because I was also part of the tournament and his high performance was like a challenge to me who is also a huge NBA fan. If I bet $10 on all of his predictions with 0.90 odds, I would have made a profit of around $350. He then went on to win the championship rounds which was difficult because all finalists starts with zero points again.
Experienced gamblers know how to minimize losses, they know how to balance their bets from the time they are placing bets,
inside the forum you can check all those available topics where you can see members sharing their picks.
Some of them also provides detail information why they are picking the team or if you don't see any info just by following the
ratio of a win over losses, you will see that the member who's doing his share can be a good tipster that you can follow as basis
of your bet, not exactly copying, but you can use each share pick as a reference for your own picks.
