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.

My only strategy is just self discipline and control when it comes to my finances since I only bet on my own and not with friends having to share for the bet. But I really like the one you are suggesting OP, if only I can also find some friends that can be reliable and not greedy when it comes to money. I just hope that everything will work well on your sharing of winnings, and that not one of you will think on taking advantage on the others just because of money.

I don't understand what your unconventional strategy is? Combining the perceived knowledge of three people into a decision? Maybe you are wiser than the average betting trio, but you might have just as easily fluked a few wins and overestimate your actual skills in a tiny subset of games. Overconfidence has been the downfall of many gamblers over time and your first few sentences about pooling money is kinda irrelevant to any strategy. In what way do you think you are minimizing losses? I see none. Sure it might be helpful for bonding - but this only really applies while you're winning and could have the opposite effect after a few losses. What accountability is there meant to be? Somebody has to place the bet or come up with the idea? At best it is "crowd sourcing" bets and there are already much bigger markets out there doing this.

^Thank you for sharing this.
But I am thinking the disadvantage of this is what you called strategy, first it should be a trusted friend that will have the responsibility of the fund. Second, it could make trouble when you have opposite predictions from him. Minimizing losses is not a guarantee here because everything in betting is unpredictable and no one knows what will happen. Reducing the chance of being addicted could be helpful here but the worst thing is when it comes to both of you becoming addicted. Bonding would be the right approach and budget amount that you gamble.

Listening to interviews of athletes prior to an event and psychoanalyzing their speech patterns is one unconventional strategy I've used in the past.

For MMA I've noticed there are some statements that correlate with winning or losing. For example.

"My opponent won't show me anything I haven't seen before."  (Can indicate they're not being tested in the gym and have holes in their game)

"He has no skill, he's only successful because he uses steroids."  (Hater talk, can indicate a losing mentality)

"I want to be the best fighter who ever lived."  (What most of them say when they can't think of anything original)

Sometimes you can tell when they're not motivated, not working hard and showing up for a paycheck. Which makes it easier to bet the other side with a good win rate.

Wow, this is good idea which I am tempted to try out, but then, I can't since I  am a lone guy, I don't have friends I hang out or move around with, but this is sure a good way to not only minimize of effect of loosing money on betting, it's also like you said, a good way to really bond with friends and have fun.

And the strategy is very good most especially if you have trusted friends and they trust you too, I wouldn't want to imagine a case where by you guys won a huge amount of money and the one in charge or with access to the account secretly runs away to go and cash out the winnings alone somewhere else, I've heard of such a case here on this forum...
So trust is indeed all that matters here, I wish you and your friends good luck in your world cup betting adventures, but remember to bet responsibly.

Overall, you just did great on your set of picks. Your analysis with your friends turned out good and it gives you a decent profit already.

There is really nothing special there as it's now common nowadays to have that coop-type of betting wherein you will find a partner/s and share betting capital with them for a much more chance to gain good profits.

However, what if your bets turned out that bad then no thread like this will be created, right?

Congratulations that your group was able to have a good run in your World Cup betting.

I don’t usually go for partnership or betting with shared capital from friends when it comes to gambling. It’s just that I don’t have trusted friends around when it comes to gambling. But I believe your own strategy will certainly work and has good advantages on it. You can share the risk of losing which will help you not to fall in gambling addiction, and it can also increase the capacity or the chances to win since your bets are well spread with a good amount of bets. My only doubt is whenever one of you will insist his own bet because he thinks that will create higher chances of winning, that would be another problem if ever.

[Darker45]

It's indeed probably better to discuss bets with other people. Different people may have different analyses on a sports match. So, the more the better. Different factors will be explored easily. Information shared. Various aspects of a match will be carefully weighed. So, it's generally better this way.

What's probably the challenging part here are the disagreements. One may be strongly convinced, for example, that it is Tunisia that will win, but the majority think that it is France. So the money goes to France. And France lost. The one who earlier insisted that the money should have been wagered on Tunisia will regret and probably feel a little resentment and could even blame his/her friends. He/she could even doubt his/her friends way analyzing matches.

Believe me, this happens even among friends, especially if money is involved. The blame game could arise anytime. That's why I prefer to gamble solo.

Certainly, any "unconventional" strategy will come out as a winner in this FIFA World Cup.

We are witnessing the result of extremely improbable games taking place in this championship.... consecrated teams are tying and even losing to others that do not have any "favouritism" in football. It's pretty insane.

I'm happy to know that at least someone is making a profit from betting on this world cup, I myself am quite disappointed with some of the results.

But, could you give us more details about these unconventional bets, what are these adopted strategies? Or is this a friends secret?

[Wexnident]

I don't really see how this s unconventional or minimizes losses. If you mean it forces you to always contribute that "equal amount" for every session and not increase/decrease it arbitrarily then I guess you can call it so, but it doesn't actually decrease it (But it is a good idea for socialization nonetheless). The risks you take are technically the same imo whether you go solo or with a group, the ratio would still remain the same after all, though I guess the planning part increases since you guys are not thinking alone but rather collaborating instead to think of matches and their winners.

Nope, I deposit, sit in one sitting and ruin my entire bankroll. My gambling session in a nutshell.

[Fundamentals Of]

I have also done group betting many times before. All for fun. When gambling is done with friends, not only is losing minimized because of sharing and comparing different analysis, it is also a lot more fun. Especially when you are already watching the game and you cheered together for a certain team because all of you have money at stake it would really be a lot more fun.

But how come this reduces the chance of being addicted? Sometimes when you gamble with friends, it is more addicting. If you gamble alone, you are only going against yourself during the times when you don't want to gamble. But when gambling with friends, your friends will often force you to accompany them and gamble and you comply even if you don't want to.

[Oasisman]

Well, I guess more good heads is much better right? We have done this several times before when I was still in college as we don't have enough money to bet on our own from the NBA games, especially during the playoffs. It's indeed true, that betting together with your friends is quite fine when you're watching the game live.
We usually put a bet in a series during the NBA playoffs. Win or lose we all share the same excitement and fun, and most it indeed avoid further losses and depressions during loss.

This strategy is not that bad but you guys just formed a gambling partnership. The beauty of your strategy is that risk or losses would be shared among and putting heads together to play games might be helpful.

But the disadvantage of this partnership is that wins would also be shared and I hope you guys have drafted a sharing formula because it could also lead to disagreement and conflict. Another challenge might be disagreement during staking. You or your friend might have different strategy or might forecast differently on a particular game. The question now would be; Whose game or prediction will be played?
For me gambling should be personal because it is unpredictable and risky. I prefer to take the praise or blame for my wins and losses.

what I see from what you do with your friends is having fun making bets. this will not make you addicted as long as your goals and friends are not oriented toward absolute profit.
you make strong betting capital by combining with your friends. happy if you get your luck.
but I am not so comfortable doing the same as you. even though hanging out and watching movies together is very exciting. but betting on one platform with other people doesn't make me comfortable. in soccer betting, I don't have a specific strategy. just an ordinary game analysis. I just don't usually bet on the first game. I started betting on the second match and so on. this is just to see the strength of the playing team.

I was thinking the same thing, I mean it is fine that the OP has enough trust on his friends that they are willing to have a single account for all of them and they decide together on the bets they are going to make, however in theory this should be more addicting than gambling on your own, as people get addicted to things that makes them feel good about themselves, and without a doubt gambling with your friends is way more fun than betting on your own.

Not really, but I've done what you explain in the past with friends also.

Logically, just as it minimises losses, it also minimises potential gains.

- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.

For me this is the most important thing, the social aspect which, as you say, reduces the risk of addiction. Problem addictions tend to be solitary and hidden from others, by betting with your friends gambling becomes a social and entertaining experience, as it should be.

I used to have a weird strategy where i'd take the underdogs on MMA because of how the outcome can potentially go both ways but the odds are too one-sided. It worked for a few times and I stopped after stringing a few wins as I want to end it with a profit. I also remember betting on a league where their games only lasted for 5-10 mins and I had that one successful run after tailing someone from the chat I don't know why I suddenly followed his bets but at least it paid off though.

Maybe you are pertaining to the risk reduction because his statement is true in regards to minimize losses since they do a bankroll share which means the loss is distributed to the 3 of them and not on him alone. The amount of money he spend on bankroll when he is playing alone compared to this group is much smaller. The idea is to minimize the pain of losses because you have someone to share on it.

As long  you do stick out with your plans and agreeing on each everyones decisions and dont really end up on some arguments

Right, I think this is always the issue on this kind of betting strategy. Sometimes the person who predicts an accurate result the most always blame the guy who predicts bad result. This always ends up on argument on how they will split the to profit especially if someone on the group contribute the most on there win.  Been there done that before with my friends and we always end up to an argument.

    The method you have shared here on this topic is nice, Although I am also playing crypto gambling here even though I am a newbie. Based on your story it also appears that you won with the strategy you are talking about here, right?

How long have you been doing this? every time you do this, do you take home a win from gambling here mate? I ask this because I want to try what you are saying so that I can also experience making money from gambling somehow.

But you know anyway, not all gamblers think like you about the strategy you are talking about here, maybe others don't understand what you want to point out.
