Categories of Unrealistic Sports Betting Expectations

[Casdinyard]

We encounter different categories of sports bettors every day, both online and offline. However, some of them express unrealistic expectations regarding their potential winnings.

The first category is composed of sports bettors with a $1000 bankroll who hope to make $100,000 by the end of the year. In what universe do they think this is possible? Such expectations are unrealistic and only occur in the lottery, not in sports betting. Even in sports betting, it would be a chance occurrence, happening only once in every 100 bets. A more realistic expectation would be to aim for increasing their bankroll.

The second category consists of individuals seeking guaranteed wins and fixed bets or matches. These individuals are frequently seen on platforms such as Twitter, Telegram, Discord, and others where sports betting is discussed. They are often the first to express their desire for guaranteed games and fixed matches/bets, believing they will surely win. Unfortunately, these individuals are easily scammed due to scammers taking advantage of their gullibility.

I beg to differ, although this is not really representative of the general sportsbettor population, I've seen people in here (exactly this forum) post ludicrous bets that yield them massive wins. One of which is @NAPK1NS_RAE (I'm not sure if I got his username correctly, but I digress) who got famous in this forum while still being a newbie by bagging massive wins, only to fumble them later lmao. I've seen him win a bet for 90k in one go, and then lose all of it on a soccer match right after. He almost bagged 500k last time if I'm not mistaken but he fumbled it again. If this was a regular guy we're talking about I'd seriously stop and advise him to not make any more belligerent bets cause that's going to put a dent on his life and his future but it seems like this guy could bag wins if he wanted to and he's doing this for fun, albeit he still regrets losing lots of money especially after a massive win is fumbled. Anyhow, I'd still agree with you on everything, just wanted to talk about the guy who broke the system (for me) and the guy that's exempted from all this "don't make ludicrous bets" shenanigans.

These wild and unrealistic expectations make gambling so popular. Same with altcoin trading. People invest in alts because they think they can replicate the success of bitcoin if they become an early investor of some shitcoin. Sometimes it happens but sometimes people also win the lottery and their $100 coupon win them the big prize. Every once in a while these miracles happen. People are addicted to this hope. As M. Freeman said: "Hope is a dangerous thing. It may make you poor." As Andy D. said: "Hope is a beautiful thing. It may make you rich." See? Both of these dudes are right actually. The question is, which one are you gonna follow?

[ralle14]

I agree with most of the posts above about the first category, i've seen bettors hit some long parlays or go on a massive winning streak while going all in on every single bet. It's not common for most gamblers to achieve these very high winning amounts, but it's doable.

In general there are so many "tipsters" out there who claim to have super high win ratios, but in reality you'd be lucky if they made 51% of winning bets in their portfolio. There is a lot of fakery out there, where people claim to predict certain outcomes but if you dig a bit deeper, you find out that they actually "predicted" results after the outcomes were realized, or simply that they hype up their wins while ignoring their loss ratio. Many of these people will be asking for money in order to access their tips, but that is where they really source their income. If they were genuinely profitable then they would have no need to create such a side venture as selling profitable ideas, they'd just use them.

They are common in different platforms and can easily trick the new bettors into following them when the truth is they're losing. The shitty part is when they put a price tag on their picks, and that's where their downfall starts since most bettors discourage others from paying for picks.

I honestly laugh a lot when scammers write all outcomes as comments, hide them and after matches end only share accurate one. Many people are taking this bait. I don't think our government can solve this issue still.
I see that in sports betting, many people wanna try 2.5 plus or minus goals a lot. They feel its easier to bet on that compared to guessing accurate result. I think chances are not that different. And odds are much lower. I prefer guessing accurate result.

Basically, those 2 that you have mentioned is not unrealistic, they are real and possible, however it is just hard to attain.
$1k to $100k in a year is very much possible if you consistently betting every single day and of course constantly winning without draining your $1k capital. $1k to $100k in a single day of sports betting - that is impossible. I guess that's what you mean since you mentioned about lottery. In lottery you could get more than $100k is one day if you hit the jackpot.
Regarding the second one, yes there are fixed match set up only for the syndicates involving massive amount of money and of course it is not available for the general public - so those who are seeking for fixed match betting are plainly stupid and they are 100% going to be scammed.
Again, those you have mentioned is not "UNREALISTIC", they are real and possible, but it's really HARD to attain.

I have encountered both categories of this unrealistic sports bettors that you have listed. The first category of artistic sports bet is that hope to increase your bankroll ridiculously are you a very inexperienced and new to gambling. If they are old and have been gambling for a while they know that it is not an easy task especially when you are sports-betting to increase your bankroll up to 10x. The second category is comprised of lazy people who do not care about making their own analysis but depending on other people's bets to make money, they continue to loose and will only be lucky to win once in a while, but that is not the method any gambler should learn. Another unrealistic set I have met is those that have started a project and are depending on constantly winning from betting to finance the project to completion, gambling is not a source of income.

This is why there are odds to know if how much return we can get once we win. Unless if that bettor is a newbie and didn't learn about these basic things. There is a chance that they can expect an unrealistic profit. In your first example/category, I think a $1k capital is big and then a 1 year time frame is long, therefore I think a $100k profit is pretty possible but OFC as long as the bettor had a good knowledge on the specific sport that he choose.

You mentioned the lottery there but this one has unrealistic odds than in sports betting. On your second example/category, you are right for the most part but there are some who really have a connection from the inside.

No matter what category that is, as long as it is associated with certainty, it would already be unrealistic. As we all know, gambling won't give anyone a hundred percent chance of winning. Having high hopes no matter what assurance they are having, would still be uncertain. Even with fixed matches; it is money we are talking about, things still has tendencies of ups and downs once irregularities with what was set, is broken. Perhaps an organization created a fixed match but a bigger group paid for results to again be flipped, now what? Due to these tendencies it would be much better to be cautious with the amount in order to prevent regrets.

[bitbollo]

I add  other categories.
Gamblers who play on events or sports of which they know nothing (maybe this sometimes happens to everyone here  because sometimes we play just for the pleasure of betting and no more). The real problem arise when big bets are placed or its become an habit.

Other one, players producing long list of events (10/15) hoping to hit a jackpot.
in general if the events are simple, the final prize is really low. ... if these events are complex it's really hard to guess... so its just a waste of time/money.

The category of gamblers who think it's a smart idea to chase losses.

Gamblers who take loans to bet, because they believe it works like a kind of investment on long term.

And the worst one: the category of players who steal money from others, including from their families, to maintain their gambling routine.

All those unrealistic gamblers are suffering from a disfunction on their behavior that lead them to not differentiate the real from the imaginary anymore. They lose contact with reality, do absurd things and regret later. Some even suicide, like that case which was shared here on forum weeks ago about the student who got the school bill's money from his classmate to gamble and lost everything.

[lionheart78]

Surely one of the unrealistic sports betting expectations is beating the house or the bookmakers.  Bettor will never beat the bookmaker because they have control over the process.  If the bookmaker sees the player winning continuously, they often limit this player from betting huge amounts.  We have seen several cases like this in this forum where players that are gaining advantage on thier bet are often blocked or limited.  This os one way of the sports book to keep them from bankruptcy.

Yes, we do continually hearing up these kind of stories but of course we should only believe into those legit ones and something that would really be happening because there are some various situations which turns out not

to be real but we know that a certain person could really be ending up on committing such decision due to extreme or severe addiction on which it do leads on having no proper decisions on their lives or certain
conditions on which they would really be needing to choose up wisely or else then they would really be putting themselves on great trouble. Is there something that we can do about it?
People should really be careful on what they are dealing with because everything which is too much would really be having that negative effect which is something we should really be that
sensible in towards our actions because if not then that would really be ending up on huge disaster which it might lead into suicide if you cant find any solutions into it.

We have a plethora of fraudsters all over the market, and it's difficult to disclose the difference between a legitimate initiative and a forged one. Falling for low-cost scams these days is all too common for newcomers. It's not the case that I've seen beginners become victims of scamming initiatives; I've developed in the space and gained enough experience that things like that don't bother me; I'm more focused on my targets in the space. If the probability of profit and loss are less than 50/50, my aims are greater because they result in a big profit.

this could be extremely hard but I don't think it is unrealistic, with luck, proper money management, and knowledge of the game, etc... though could be extremely hard, it is possible to achieve, especially if you have 1 year(if you start at the beginning of the year) to turn $1k into $100k. some members mentioned NAPK1NS_RA3, using him as an example shows that it is not unrealistic.

Excuse me my friend, don't say what you have a limited information about, when sport betting want to favor you, even the casino would want to have something to do with you but of course, it depends on individuality and luck, so don't say it's not possible or unrealistic. I know a guy who have played 3k odds on a trial of 5th bet and I was surprised that all of the selected games went as they were predicted, gambling indeed it's a luck and skill but more of luck and when it shine on any gambler, it's becomes hard to explain.

A gambler that is looking around for fixed bet is a lazy one and not only looking for way to play for fun but they are their to make quick money from gambling. There is a difference between try your skill and luck to make money and put your money on something you have been given tips about, that's not gambling, it's more of cheating the casinos and if you get caught, it's punishable by law anywhere.

It is possible but it will take time. We can't generate such an amount of profit in just a short period. We know that if our target profit is huge, then our capital must be huge as well. To make it happen, the gambler must have an effective strategy and be wise in every move that he would make. However, if a player is compulsive especially when it comes to decision-making, there's also a risk that instead of reaching his target profit, he might lose the same amount.
Sometimes our expectations that exceed the reality could bring us into more losses. We have to keep in mind that gambling has risks that we have to deal with and that the result mostly relies on our luck. We can expect big profits but we can't disregard the fact that we can also face losses along the way. If we will have an unrealistic target, we might end up chasing our losses just to reach what we want.

I believe what we can do is to explain to people around us the risks of gambling and how to play in a healthy way. Moreover, just by being realistic and not being misleading when talking about gambling, we are already doing our part to educate people on this matter. The problem nowadays is that many individuals who have never had any kind of contact with gambling, due to governments' prohibitions, are being heavily exposed to it through so many betting platforms (mainly on sports scene). So they are pretty raw on this matter and end having the wrong impression about gambling.

When their expectations are not fulfilled, they become desperate and commit extreme acts, like the student who took his own life. So we can contribute keeping people's feet on the ground.

Technically, $100,000 is an increase of there bankroll should they by any means come by that amount.
I recall a gambler not quite long on the forum who lost, $90,000 to a sportbook game on Stake. It was a league 2 or 3 division sport and according to the gambler, he grew his $90,000 from a $4,000 bankroll. That's still an increase and significant one even though, its 4x what's described in the OP.

Although, gamblers out to see out winnings that cound be archived easily, not high stake risks. Same attitude has been attributes to crypto investors and that's not it. Be realistic in what you hope to win.

[dothebeats]

I guess I wouldn't really call the first one an unrealistic expectation. It’s something that is doable with a consistent betting strategy and a sports that you really know to the core. Also, if you are conservative with your betting budget and you know when to stop especially on a losing streak, there’s a high chance that you’ll be able to earn a lot and build your bankroll.

As for an unrealistic expectation, I guess that’s just hitting a lot of multiple winstreak and building your goal in just a short span of time. No matter how sharp you are in betting, there will always be a few bets out there that will really destroy your rhythm.

I believe it is possible to achieve one or the other of these goals.

To exponentially multiply your bankroll you need to make risky bets, as much as turning 1k into 100k is difficult, it is not impossible if people are really determined to risk the value they have and choose the right games and casinos to do so.

On the other hand, sports games tend to be very "predictable" if you choose the correct championships, so it is possible to "win (almost) always", but unfortunately the gains you have with this strategy decrease a lot, because the best profits are obtained in the most risky bets or those in which the result came out far from what was expected.

In my opinion it is necessary to reconcile both... most of the time play it safe betting in favor of the forecasts, but from time to time it is necessary to risk more unpredictable bets to try to increase the winnings.
