Target your wins in a series of bets

[AmoreJaz]

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.

I don't know whether you have been using the method or whether it has been working for you. I don't know, but the truth is that there is no guarantee when it comes to gambling. If someone likes to bet on 50 different series, there is a higher probability that the person will still lose all the bets because of the idea of picking different games in series, which can even lead to picking some games that the person may not know much about, and that can easily make the person lose their bets. It will be better to bet on a single game you have confidence in than on different games you may not know anything about. The method you are trying to describe has been used by many, but it is not working for them. I also used the method before, but nothing good came out of it.

this is a very subjective one as it depends on the game your are betting with. no one can assure that your other bets with higher odds will surely win. so maybe, this route is working for the OP but it doesn't mean, this strategy will also work for other people.

how can you be so sure that you will get your winnings of 4 bets out of your 10 bets? that depends on your choices, familiarity of the game itself, luck factor among others. so it means, various factors are in play before you can truly hit winning bets. and mostly, betting lines with higher odds are on the losing side. there's a reason why bookies are giving it higher odds. because such line has lower chance of winning. lucky for you if you can really get an upset.

I just felt I should bring this up here maybe it will help someone in managing expectations and the entire gambling process.

From experience, I have realised that many people run into problems when they focused so much on winning a particular bet amd when such bet fails, they easily slide into psychological crisis.  Considering that gambling is a game of probability with the chances of losing higher than that of winning, it is therefore expected we work out ways of approaching it so we can remain profitable.

The gambler should ready to keep the target before start of gambling,So he will keep motivate himself before the target was achieved in the gambling.The self motivation was the essential one in the gambling if you planned to make the big winning using the gambling site.The football is the better game to make money in the sportsbet by using the gambling site.Football had many odds to make the money,you can also use the odds of your friends to fullfil your dream of big winnings in the gambling site.The probability for winning and losing was same in the gambling site.The gambler should learn the game and then use their money,the sports betting was the better option for the gambling site.Because it help us make the bet using the players knowledge in the gambling site.

I don't know if this is a good strategy though, it seems to be very complicated? Of course, when we play or bet we always target to win, maybe it was a single bet or a game parlay bet. So it's better not to make this difficult to ourselves, but bet on games that we think we can win and that's it. If we lose, then go and bet another day and expect that you will be highly profitable. Instead of like betting and targeting certain wins, on the contrary, this method might put you on chasing your losses if you didn't get that profitable with your series of bets.

I have the same thought as you that the OP doesn't explain in detail what is meant 10 matches, whether he uses a single bet or uses a parlay bet and in my opinion, if that is what is meant by a single bet, we dont need to bother having to choose 10 matches, just choose some matches that we believe can provide a greater chance of winning dont have to be 10 matches.
but if it is done on a parlay bet with the desire to get 4 wins from 10 matches and then cash out the 4 wins it seems a little risky because parlay bets of more than 5 are already very risky. there are always matches that give surprises and for me it won't work well for you. I.

btw, if we focus on a consistent win, we dont actually need to choose 10 matches but simply choose a single bet on the favorite team which has a bigger chance and always consider choosing the most comfortable option to avoid surprises that will occur because the favorite team can sometimes lose like for example, the bundesliga football match Bayern Munich lost the match at that time with a big score.
and for me, if you want to get more consistent profits, it's better not to take too big a risk at big odds or choose odds that dont exceed @2.
I have used this method for soccer betting and esports betting and it worked well, getting several wins and losses that were smaller than the wins I got. and always remember this is just a bet if you want to get a comfortable profit always bet on a popular team and if there is no popular team match or you are in doubt about a particular team it is better not to force yourself to place a bet or it is better to be patient waiting for the next match.

Can you explain better?

You can give the name of the games you are playing to win 4 times and lose 6 times and get you profit. You can let us know the odds that you are selecting also.

I apply this method mainly in sports betting. I already stated that the target is 5 odds per bet. Just to be clear, the winning can be more that 4 times in a series of 10 bets, it can also be less but the target is usually to win 4 times in a space of 10 bets. Assuming I have $100 to gamble with, I will have to divide this amount into 10 equal parts for 10 different bets of $10 each. Each winning will give me $50 since the cumulative odds per bet is 5. 4 wins will give me a total of $200 which already doubles my capital and cancels all losses I could possibly incur with the other 6 bets.

And after that? You stop? What if you lose? What if you only get 3 of 10?

From the example I gave above, 3 wins out of 10 bets will still give about 50% profits.

You are only assuming that probability will always play well on the profit side but you can literally experience 10 out of 10 loses even on a 50% winning chance rate. There’s no way to predict an exact outcome of your bets that’s why many loses on gambling because probability always not following our plan no matter what is our target win / profit.

Any gambler that experiences 10 loses out of 10 bets should have to either reconsider his approach and pattern of selecting games or consider quitting gambling as it may not be something for him. Gambling is not that complicated if you one cannot get 5 odds after several trying unless the gambler is not well prepared to analyzed the selections with open mind and present form.

It's true, because gambling itself has its own charm where gambling can make a person forget about many things, because it has the potential to make a profit if it is lucky but many of the gamblers do not make a profit but only make a lot of losses and in my opinion the chances of winning are also thinner than the chances of losing so it is true that it is difficult to win to get from losing a lot of people who are trapped by this game and experience a lot of losses.
 
also many people gamble by following their emotions and greed and this makes the loss of a lot of money that a person has, I myself have experienced this where I have gambled by following greed and emotions that make me experience big losses. So it's good to enjoy gambling don't overdo it because it can harm us financially.

They are too ambitious to get big wins when gambling. and apart from that, they also cannot accept the defeat they received, so they continue playing in the hope that their previous defeat will soon be replaced. However, instead of getting big wins and recovering from the losses they experienced previously, in the end the gambling they did only ended in consecutive losses.

When someone is too ambitious, that's when emotions will take over him. which causes gambling activities to be poorly controlled.

[DubemIfedigbo001]

What if such person doesn't have upto 10 bet as you may say even 1 bet is okay just that how comfortable and reliable is the games he selected is that is the question we should asked ourselves.

There is no reliable bet my dear, same way there's nothing like fixed games, its all predictions. What he's saying is this. You can play 10 different bet slips and each of them should be of at least 5 odds. According to his prediction, if you're able to win 4 of them and lose 6 of the stakes, you're still obviously profiting. Let's do the analogy.
You play 10 games with $5 each, that gives you $50 for your total stakes.
Now, assuming you won 4 stakes, that would be
$5 * 5 odds totaling $25 for one.
 Now winning 4 of your stakes would be $100
Subtracting your investment from your wins = $100-$50.
so you're still gaining$50, even though you lost 6 of your stakes. This is a cool analogy, but my question is, what is the probability that you'll win up to 4 of your stakes?. Gambling has a lot of surprises  and you'll be shocked to lose all your capital sef .
Gambling doesn't have a definite formula, the formula is simple, gamble in moderation and with a budget.

There shouldn't be any expectations at all because even 4/10 is unlikely to become possible in the consistent then it will lead to the same effect and fall into the disappointment and will keep going on the loop.

If you want to stay away from disappointment then expecting a zero/10 bets is the best way so even if you win one you're achieved more than you expected that will be a good way to manage and if you do not feel like winning then there is no shame in quitting.

What exactly are we looking for in the betting and gambling that we do? Profit or fun

And what makes you feel happy is only when you get a win. While when you get a defeat, you immediately feel sorry for it.  Which in the end results, makes you more stressed and frustrated.
Indeed, the name of the effort to get a big win in every bet and gambling that is done is necessary. But we should also not be too focused and too ambitious to get a big win when doing these activities, and hope that you will win every betting session. Which ultimately leads to loss and regret.
Betting and gambling are for enjoyment, not regret. So when you place a bet, in addition to trying to increase the chances of getting a win through an analysis that you make. but it is important for us to always enjoy every betting session that we do, so that this activity becomes an exciting thing through a sensation and challenge that we get. regardless of whether at the end of the game we will get a win or a loss.

Quite confusing indeed. Never heard and experienced having a fixed win rate in gambling 'coz that is something you won't be able to control as we all know. But I do get the idea of this series of bets somehow wherein you'd be betting for a particular quantity of bets 'til you achieve winning, however, as I said, things will not be consistent.
 Still helpful 'coz still you will be having control over the number of bets you would be making and amount of money you'd probably lose. Even with games wherein analysis do work. However, forcing it will not do you any good. Problem is if you are lacking discipline to keep boundaries on the number of amount you are ready to deal with.

I think when you have a financial problems or need money, that is not the best time to gamble because you will only be making the wrong choices, you wouldn't make the right choices and the chances of winning will always be low. However, I want you to know something for a fact about gambling, your selection is independent of what you think or conclusion. You can make the right selection but sometimes don't have power over what happened next, the result is conditional to what happen in the field.

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

Nothing is guaranteed in gambling, you can make a single selection of bets and you will get the biggest shock that it wouldn't come home, you will lose that bet faster than when you make 10 selection of games and the problem with smaller odds is that those with smaller amount don't get good return anytime they bet. Imagine you selected a game of PSG Liverpool againt Luton town and you give Liverpool x1 win chance only to be giving 1.21 odd, how do you bet that on $1 supposing you convert that to a local currency. This is the reason why some gamblers like to keep trying multiple odds to win a jackpot one day.

This strategy might be effective for you and may not favor someone else. My question is how are you sure that the four games you focused on will play? You still have to depend on luck for those four bets to play. I think the best option is just to properly analyze games make your predictions and surrender to fate. I don't get depressed over any bet because I place bets based on my financial capacity and I see gambling as entertainment.

If you want to stay away from disappointment then expecting a zero/10 bets is the best way so even if you win one you're achieved more than you expected that will be a good way to manage and if you do not feel like winning then there is no shame in quitting.

One of my friends in the local casino will always advise me to expect nothing from my stakes. He said you will be disappointed if you expect much from gambling. Just expect nothing and something comes, you celebrate your win and move on. And this counsel has saved me from a series of displeasure.

If such a betting strategy works for you, I can try it too. but I'm not too focused on how many bets I should make. In sports betting, I bet only on a few matches that make me decide on a bet. let's say there are 5 matches tonight that interest me, then I will bet with my analysis or speculation. although there are other matches I might be able to bet on, I won't do it if the competing teams don't interest me. I don't think betting for higher odds. because I realize that in betting there are only two possibilities, win or lose.

but if you implement it successfully, it will make me more

My strategy is very similar to yours specially in sports, as like in 2023 World Cup i made bets for a few matches, When i feel comfortable to make bets in a match in my research then i decided to the bet in which match, I didn’t made bets in the random match where i have no interest. So in betting there are no guarantee if you will make 10 bets and will win 4 bets, i don’t know what 4 wins in 10 bets OP is talking about.

Following multiple gambling strategies shared in this board, a gambler may end up not enjoying the fun of gambling. Staking games 10 times and expecting 4 wins is not realistic. The wins differ per session and gamblers hoping to win a certain time in a series of bets can be disappointed when the choices don't appear as planned. Calling this type of player investment players wouldn't sound weird. Money spent on gambling is meant to be forgotten, but lots of gamblers can't help, but think about their lost funds. They keep calculating in their mind, ways to get them back. Try again is the best possible answer for them, and no other answer like taking a break suits their expectations. Next thing, you'd notice the anger written on the player's face for losing one more time, with no positive result of getting his funds. Realizing that these occurrences aren't supposed to bother the player is the idea behind gambling.

Staying focused on our daily work and improving productivity to make money and increase our income is quite the focus of anybody. When redirecting this focus on gambling it'll curtail the dreams we've got for other real-life activities. This leads the gambler to feel weird about himself, whenever the losses keep piling up. Watching others win also contributes to irresponsible gambling. Gambling streaming influencers have made newbies jump into gambling without any prior information about what the niche is about; how the money is meant to be managed, time limitations, and responsible gambling. They'll chase the wins like they appeared on their screen when watching the streamer play. Silence also has kept gamblers to remain addicted, trying different strategies that won't work. Speaking up helps gambling to figure out ways of surviving loss chase. Not saying OP's methods ain't great, but they won't work for other, even if the chances of working for him, OP, is also slim. Being realistic in gambling; staying happy and gambling for fun. 

[Ever-young]

Game wey go play go play and game wey go cut go still cut. For the purpose of people who do not understand this phrase. It means that no matter what method you choose to employ in gambling, if you're destined to make a win that day, it will happen and if you're meant to loose that day you'll still loose regardless the method or technique used. I've literally played 5 different games on different slips using 5 different method and guess what? It all turned out you know how...

My point is making multiple stakes doesn't guarantee you've got better chances of winning, if you're meant to win then you will and if you're not, then forget about it.

When someone is too ambitious, that's when emotions will take over him. which causes gambling activities to be poorly controlled.

That's a common challenge in gambling, the balance between ambition and emotional control. I feel It's weird to put ambition in something that is not capability-based activity. Being ambitious in the pursuit of big wins can lead to heightened emotions, making it difficult to have good decision-making, manage losses effectively. The desire to recover quickly from defeats can often result in a cycle of continued gambling without the desired positive outcome.

When people become overly ambitious in gambling, emotions can indeed take over, impairing rational mind. It's crucial for gamblers engaging in the activities to maintain a level-headed approach, acknowledging the element of chance and accepting losses as part of the overall experience. People need to develop a disciplined and controlled mindset as a key to responsible gambling. Limits are needed, both in terms of time and money. It can help prevent the negative consequences associated with unchecked ambition and emotional reactions.

The gambler who like to have fun from the gambling site was the happiest person in gambling.Not only in the gambling in the real life the expectations always hurts,if the boy expects the affection from the girl it may leads to hurting to their relationship of friends.The experienced gamblers was making money by doing the gambling without any expectation,they won’t worry if they loss all the holding.They won’t more excited at the time of big win from the gambling site.

The gambler who was most ambitious will win of most of the time,So he will make the bet with more possibility option in betting.The positive mindset itself help the gamblers to make the better win from the gambling sites.Incase he was fear to make the big win,till the end he won’t make big win in gambling sites.

I'm very happy that someone understands the post correctly and have seen some merits in it. Your example above is a clear indication that you are really following my point. Now let's be realistic for once, if your win rate is not up to 3/10, and you are actively gambling, then you are obviously sliding into depression caused by perpetual loses. In that case, you need to check your strategy if it is actually working.

The other part of your concern is how possible it would be to get 5 odds to make a single bet slip in that series. Well, I just check leagues and teams that are consistent in delivering one outcome and play just those teams. For instance, Bournemouth have been consistent in scoring this season so whoever they are playing, I give them to score atleast a goal and that is it. Another one is that Fulham have been very good at home, so whoever they meet at home will have a hard time winning them so I give them to score a goal or double chance, whichever I consider safer base on who they are meeting,  will be selected. 3 to 4 matches of these nature gives me the 5 odds for the bet slip. The success rate of things like this is high so the 4/10 expectation is realistic.

[Alpha Marine]

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

It's obvious you're talking about sports betting.
As a gambler, you should know it doesn't work like that. You can place 20 bets and not win a single one. It's not about the number of bets you play, it's about how you play.
Now if you take about 5 odds per bet then you have to stake high before you can win something reasonable.
For instance, if you stake $1 on 5 odds you'll only be winning $5. So it's for people that have a very high staking power. If they stake $100 on 5 odds, that's $500.
If you lose, then You've lost more. And to me, I feel it's not worth the risk. Why am I risking $100 for one game to win just $500? Why not use that $100 into five different bets and place my bets on bigger odds?

Also, the analysis that you'll win 4 out of 10 bets is funny. There's no guarantee of this. It might work once or twice but it's not a system. But look at this. $100 on ten bets, that's $1000. If you win 4 out of 10 bets, that's $2000 with 5 odds each. So you've made a thousand dollars and this is the best-case scenario.
On average, you'll win 1 out of 10 bets and that's a loss of $500.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.

I agree with you so well on this as this method looks very feasible and achievable and it has a good model for risk management such that you don't have to win every thing to be in profit and you aswell don have to loose so much if it goes against you, your bank roll continually remains safe and you stay profitable majority of the time.

Some traders usually use this method to profit in their trading venture as this model also proves very safe and profitable to traders aswell, but then to consistently make money with this strategy it takes some level of discipline aswell because if you don't stay disciplined enough with this strategy it's possible you could still loose because gambling is always a thing of probability but your continues ability to staying disciplined will give you an edge such that your winnings days will be able to make up for the days of losses.

[dothebeats]

I have a better approach: bet on games that you have studied well and leave the rest.

Most people think that they can win bets based on reading the odds alone. While the bookmakers have already given us the courtesy of analyzing the event to decide, there are still some factors that gamblers fail to take into account before locking the bet. One of that are the most recent news prior the event like injuries, substitutions, and the overall conditions of the players/teams heading into the game. These are miniscule details that can affect the outcome of the bet greatly and are often overlooked because bettors are too excited to place a bet and not follow through with where their money is on.

By only betting on games that you have studied well enough and thoroughly, you will have a better win-loss ratio over time. It's not rocket science, it's just logic and basic math at play.
