My Unconventional Betting Strategy

[Issa56]

The strategy -  We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.

I think it's really nice when groups of people do analysis about some matches before placing bets, atleast everyone will come up with their points of view, then you can compare everyone's prediction. But I think contributing money together is a bad idea, have heard it before that two friends contributed money together to place a bet, they were lucky to win the bet, but the person that they used his account to place the bet decided to run with the money after winning and the amount they won was kind of huge amounts, that's why I think contributing money together to gamble is a bad idea, when it comes to money nobody should be trusted, even if the person is your close friend.
I think the best thing is that you can do analysis together but everyone one should use their account to gamble and not to contribute money together.

Did miss something or where is your strategy? Maybe I understood it wrong, but basically you and your friends are sharing one betting account together and place bets on 3 matches per day. Since there are only 3 matches you are placing bets on every world Cup match. I like the approach to place bets together with your friends. Like you said this reduces the risk of making a big loss. It also gives the chance that everybody follows different teams more closely and you can make better predictions. Now I am wondering what your initial bankroll was to get a profit 1,000 USD. For me it's been a while since I placed bets together with my friends. We still talk about betting but everybody is having his own account. We have a betting pool at work where everybody paid 5 Euros and gave their two picks for the final match and the winner. Among my colleagues I have only two guys who bet regularly like. I would call my betting strategy very conventional, I only bet on win/lose or a draw. Making exact score predictions didn't really work out for me, so I am sticking with the normal bets.

They say two good heads are better than one, I couldn't agree more. Here's a an unconventional betting strategy that me and my friends have come up with to bet on some of the world cup games. I totally love it because we have cashed out about $1000 since the games began. Also, it minimized the losses and everyone goes home happy.

The strategy -  We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.

For me it has a lot of advantages -

- it minimizes losses
- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.
- We have a budget and we stick to it. It sorts of builds accountability.

it's an interesting way but I don't have a lot of capital to make lots of bets like that because there have been some big defeats that I've experienced since the beginning of the world cup from the argentina match which was lost by saudi arabia and germany lost to japan, at that time I no longer bet much on world cup matches especially for both countries argentina and germany as it reminds me of previous defeats

[_act_]

You are gambling with your friends in a way it would not be addictive, but do not think you win because you come up together, loss can come at any time. If you are using huge amount, it will be good to lower it down to an amount you are comfortable with. If you bet together or not, always know that you people have chance of losing as you have chance of winning, the chance of making profit while betting that betting sites gives is favouring the betting site more. But if you know you are not becoming addictive with that, it is good.

The main advantage of his strategy is to play side by side with friends, while watching the games and cheering together. I believe it's more exciting to bet the way they are doing, but after all, the loss or the profit will be the same for everyone. They say to be spending less money, because the bets are shared, but in case of victory the profit will also be shared, so it's proportional anyway.

Regards addiction, it will depend on each individual. They may not become addicted to gambling because they are strong, responsible and focused individuals, but it doesn't mean another gamblers following the same strategy will be also immune to addiction. Maybe one friend may feel tempted to keep playing at some point until going busted, while others will prefer to give up.

If the betting goes according to the scenario, I don't need friends to join in betting on the same account, especially with the capital that is collected together. but what you do with your friends, is a natural thing. and it's also very effective, as you said in this thread. However, two heads are not always better than one. even if you and your friend have a different analysis, the results will not be much different. because you bet on 3 matches only.

but like you said, if one of you three is lucky. thus, you and your friends get the win. but if not, you all lose.
I know how it works and the scenarios you do with your friends, and it's really very effective. but again, sometimes luck is not always ours. even with 2.3 people. anyways, good luck till this world cup is over.

[bitcampaign]

I bet on one of the competing teams, I also bet on the score as well as the number of goals in that match and other available bets, because it's usually to prevent other losses I bet on the underdog team only and I never split bets on several cup teams world because it was hard to guess it was also even more extravagant

Well if you think it is a strategy worth testing then by all means keep using it to your advantage, after all it's more fun to win when it's with friends. I can see the concept working somehow compared to some of these people who are not so accepting of the concept of it working. The fact that there are more people to discuss statistics, player abilities and counters among other factors could become the deciding factor on whether you will win or not, which are not present in betting alone. Altogether, long as you guys don't stumble upon a massive argument over who's winning who, more so the division of prize money, you guys should be good and i would suggest you keep at it coz having someone to share your small wins with is one of the best feelings in the world.

- it reduces the chances of being addicted

To you the chances of being addicted to gambling like this may be less, but for another one of your friends, there is the possibility that they begin to quietly like gambling because of the ease with which you people are winning the money, they become prone to continuing even after world cup and becoming addicts even after others stop gambling to focus on other activities. The danger of being addicted is still real.

[Cling18]

That's a good strategy because it's fun to play and win with friends but I could say that it isn't reliable all the time. It's a good thing that you'll have all the means and capital to bet but it won't disregard the fact that you can still lose a lot. Gambling will be more addictive if you play it with your friends especially if you're getting good results in the beginning. You might not notice it this early but you'll see its long-term effect in the future.

Indeed, two heads are better than one. The same strategy but at a different betting, well to be honest I had a similar experience but betting on the lottery. I clearly remember our withdraw record was higher than deposit record, meaning we had a good winning record, but unfortunately he moved to another city so our communication was lost until there. Gambling together is very interesting, two heads can also make us calm in carrying out gambling activities. By the way, you and your friends are lucky to win of beting in world cup event, because also it is not easy to win in that event, until now are always surprises at there.

[passwordnow]

That's good for you if it works together with your friend. IIRC, when I was younger I was with my cousin and we also have the same interest in betting and it also worked well.
But these days, when there's an involvement of finance and money, IMHO, it's better to get detached and avoid having that terms with your friends because that can really end your friendship quickly. But as I've said, if it's working perfectly to both of you then that's better.
By the way, how much share and deposit both of you started?

[arimamib]

Two heads to analyze a match, sounds good enough to minimize losses. You have implemented a good strategy while betting on several world cup matches and the results are very decent.
I believe more in my own analysis, before the match starts I always look at the head to head of the two teams that will compete.

The defeats of Argentina vs Saudi Arabia and Germany vs Japan were really unexpected, I think you and your friends don't like the final results of these two matches because they didn't match what had been predicted before. Losing a few dollars in these two matches will not deter bettors, bets will still be made because they have managed to get some money from other matches since the world cup started.

[Sanitough]

It's good to see you have someone to discuss with before you bet. For some of us are just checking on our own and reading some analysis of someone else. If you bot are making a profit from what you are doing then why not. I'm not however comfortable having a partner who involves betting my money even if we are friends. I hope you guys win more and celebrate more and do not end up fighting over the money you won.

Well, it’s a good strategy I guess if all of you end up equally profitable if you win, and also when you lose. Because when we gamble, we should not only focus on the profits alone, but also the fun and the entertainment it offered to us, and seems you are your partners are benefiting from it. However, on my part, I used to bet alone, I used to win and lose alone. And somehow I also learned from my gambling’s winnings and losses every now and then.

[ChiBitCTy]

I have a group of buddies who does the same thing and have been for some time.  However it doesn't seem to go as smoothly as it seemingly has for you guys.  They are constantly fighting trying to decide which bets they should make as well as who should be storing the funds.  They use bitcoin and they've just kept the funds on either an exchange or gambling site, which as pissed off those in the group who know better.

For me personally I'm riding solo, too many people creates too much confusion in my eyes.

[bitbollo]

I also agree that it is not a real strategy but simply a way of betting between two players.

probably, having a budget and saving allowing "all in bets" is already a strategy but players who share this mode are no longer needed and the number of games is also absolutely variable.
Good luck with your gambling efforts

[Ulven]

I don't think a group betting strategy will be effective, especially since gamblers don't like partnership. One can discuss and analyze the match with a friend, but being a betting partner with others does not guarantee for you long-term profit, which is why I do not like such games.

just curious, how do you guys make the final decision on what odds bet on? because I can't help but think that there must be one person in your group who disagrees with the decision.

Soccer has 3 possible outcomes... Win, Lose, or Draw, and if you and your friend bets on 2 of them, then the odds are on your side, but here the issue is: One of your bets will always lose. So, even if you are making a profit, this is not the max profit because while you reduce the risk you reduce the profit too.

But the strategy sounds nice and is great to read that you and your friends already made $1000 from it, so, keep it up.

just to clarify, you thought that he and his friends are betting multiple times on the same game? I don't think they are doing that. the OP said that he and his friends are betting on at least 3 games per day on the WorldCup.

Im not really a fan on making out some betting out of pooled funds or something that had been together with someone because chances or odds that it would really cause up some problems is really high.

Come to think that not all the times you would really be agreeing to each other which means if the other one had make out some losses consecutively then pretty sure you would really be blaming him out.

On this situation, it did really just turn out that you are being lucky or profitable out of those bets but it doesnt mean that this method does really work or does have
significant chances of adding up your winning probability which is something an impossible thing.

[Russlenat]

It's just good because there will be more brains to analyze the game but it's not different from tailing a bet, like on this forum. Those who share their picks and a bunch of gamblers follow it which means it could really hit the winning ticket.
I am happy you are doing it with your friends, I just hope it won't create a conflict when you win big and also about how the profits will be shared if you have different amounts that were put in.
Not really a strategy but more like enhancing the way to enjoy every game with money on the line.

Well, they say 2 heads are better than one, so its obvious that you guys can create more chances of winning since all of you will contribute good analysis on the game. Aside from that, you and your friends develop socialization since there will be a lot of interaction between you and your friends. And I think if ever you lose huge amount in your bets, that would not be so hurting and frustrating, because you know you only bet on the amount all of you can afford to lose.
