Can you still consider yourself a smart bettor even when losing?

[Pi-network314159]

Let's face reality.. most gamblers lose money in the long run. But does that automatically mean we're not smart bettors?

I wouldn't say they are not smart but they are not being lucky here. Gambling is a game of luck most times we end up not being lucky enough but it doe not mean we are not smart.

I want to ask:
Do you define a smart bettor as someone who:
1- Minimizes their losses effectively, or

A person who minimizes their loses is just a responsible Gambler. It may be also considered as smart but there is no guarantee that minimizing risk will make him to win more than lose.

2-Simply stays within their predetermined loss limits?

Also staying withing predetermined loses does not mean smartness because even as that a person may still be losing despite betting with the predetermined limits.

Explain based on your understanding and experience. We're focusing on losses here, but if you want to share insights from your winning strategies (if you're profitable), that would be even more interesting to discuss.

On the time or moment that you do able to minimize your loses or completely stop when you do bust up all the money you do have on a particular day or even the entire budget for the whole money and did completely stop and look or wait for the other cycle then this considers out that you are a bettor/gambler who do have that good self control and this is a must thing. It might that sounds pretty basic but majority of all gamblers or bettors do fail on this on on which just that simply stop and call it a day. You would be ending up on having that huge financial problem at the moment that you do become impulsive on which most gambler do. Always be having that realistic approach into it when it comes to winning chance or odds on which its less and most of us will be on the losing side. Being smart on how to handle your finances is recommended because if you do just simply neglect this out then regrets will definitely happen in the end.

I consider a wise gambler to be someone who does not place bets everyday but sometimes skip some good amounts of days to stay off gambling, also, a gambler who does have a limit and keep to it is also considered to be a wise gambler, as well as those that can control their gambling habits are referred to as smart bettor.

Yes you can and that can only happen if you are the type of person that knows how to control their emotions when gambling and not gamble more than they can afford to lose. Having emotional balance when gambling only comes with the discipline you give to yourself, it is very addictive to wanting to continue gambling but it is never something you can’t control because the aftermath can be very destructive if not conquered in the first place.

Staying within your predetermined lost limits can also be a good one and when one is able to achieve that, I can gladly call them a smart bettor even though they’re losing. The idea of it all is to have the fun of it, but when the wins are not coming as it should, you should not also not feel bad that you’re losing too much but just have a neutral mindset towards the game and walk out patiently to try another time.

I believe being a smart bettor really comes down to having a specific amount of money allocated for gambling, regardless of your gains or losses. If you can stay within those limits, then you could be considered smart. Based on the points you’ve raised, I wouldn’t fully agree that the plan is smart. The most important thing is to gamble wisely and never bet more than you can afford to lose

i also think that being a smart bettor would mean you have a budget but also you can adjust it accordingly so if you have won maybe you can treat yourself to a bit more but not splurge by more than what you can and when you lose you can keep within the limits

That’s being wise?
I think a smart bettor can mean different things to different people.

For someone who doesn’t really win but keeps gambling, being a smart bettor might mean knowing how to stay within their limits. But for someone who is competitive and knows how to beat the game, a smart bettor is simply a winner.

That’s how I see it, at least.

1- Minimizes their losses effectively, or
2-Simply stays within their predetermined loss limits?

When I gamble, I have it in mind that I will likely lose. I am therefore coming from the defensive zone to know that even if I will, it should not be my whole bet money for the month.

I then use some of the betting strategies that I have learned over time. I can take advantage of the promotional offers that these casinos offer.  It increases my balances my chances of losses withy chances of winning.

Gamblers may have different perspectives towards being smart in gambling. However, in my opinion, as long as you have no financial troubles owed to gambling or you are not being financially challenged, then, you are already being smart in this addictive activity. Do take note that the luck won't always be on your side. In most cases, you will be on the losing end in this game.

A wise gambler knows his place, let us put it that way. And that is true. If you know how to control yourself and see your boundaries, then, you won't have problem in this activity. And that is being a smart gambler or bettor already as you are not leading yourself to a rabbit hole, where, getting out is such a burden.

I doubt very much that this will happen because most losers engage in gambling binges from time to time. But even if that were to happen, if you are a loser in a skill game, you better not worry so much about minimizing losses and play the money for entertainment, without treating it as a business but to end up losing money. For a skill game what you have to do is to maximize your profits, and in any case in losing streaks, which you are going to have, minimize losses, but within the long term winning trend. If you lose less when you have a bad streak, your total long term profit will be higher.

OP first and foremost, we have to understand that losing is inevitable in gambling no matter how we see it, this is a fact we must adapt to as gamblers, I think individual way of understanding this things differs but the truth is that you must gamble reasonably and responsible for you to be called a smart gambler, I mean you must gamble with the amount that wouldn't have any effect on you when you lose it, I believe that every gambler knows the amount they can afford to lose so by even going beyond what you can let go if you lose, you should know that you aren't doing the right thing and that categorize you as an gambler who's not smart,  for me I think every gambler already know that gambling is an unforseen circumstance, so why gambling as if their life depends on it, one must gamble with the awareness of the uncertainty surrounding gambling before he or she can be called a smart gambler.

The mind itself is not something that will necessarily protect you from losses. So let's first define what the mind is. In my opinion, the mind is a person's ability to solve certain problems and achieve goals. But when it comes to setting goals and objectives, the mind is usually powerless here. Goals and objectives are not formulated by the mind or, if you like, a special specific part of the mind that specializes in creating needs. This is a special part of the brain or mind that is based on instincts, emotions, needs. This specific part of the mind must only understand and or correctly generate a need in accordance with your worldview, instincts, internal needs. If your goal is to win in sports betting in the long term, then this goal will be very difficult for you to achieve. Here you will need a special strategy and the ability to correctly process large amounts of information. But if your goal is simply to enjoy the game without spending too much money, then you can be smart and lose.

Even if we keep to our limits, if we are always in the chase of winning, we just end badly. We are gambling, and the more we gamble, the more we lose, but if we play responsibly, at least we minimize our losses compared to those gamblers who always skip their budget. The only thing here in order for us to be smart bettors is to know and accept our responsibility. Given the fact that we can't beat the casino, there's no reason for us to compete with them. Our goal here is to enjoy gambling, not for the money. Otherwise, we are putting our financial stability at risk.

A smart bettor is someone who can stays within his predetermined loss limits and those who can stop gambling immediately when they already loss for some money. They don't have a will to continue gambling after losing for some time because they know that can make their losses become big.

Both number 1 and 2 can be define as a smart bettor because the number 1 means they can minimizes their losses effectively. It will be better if he can stop gambling anytime and not playing gambling too often. That will prevent him to allocate too much money for gambling.

[Outhue]

A smart gambler/bettor is someone who knows is limit, someone who don't get moved by what may happen when they keep gambling, their minds are completely focused on the amount they can afford to lose, some the limit is reached they are bold enough to quit gambling.

There is no one in this world that can outsmart a casino or gambling itself, because the whole gambling system is somehow benefiting to the casinos, the only way you can stay ahead of downfall of gambling is risking only what you can afford to lose.

The way where luck will find you will always remain a secret, a smart gambler will never force himself to win or try to make his loss back, if you can do these two things you are better than 80% of all gamblers in the world today.

I never thought about claiming to be a smart gambler or not needing validation for the bets made. As long as I can still gamble with a set amount and not feel burdened when I lose, then everything is enough without feeling the need to claim or give a certain status. Some people may clearly need clarity about their status as gamblers but the more they put themselves in that position the more pressure they feel to gamble.

I would lean towards the predetermined loss limits, but you know what whatever strategy you use what must really count is if you are making bank... because if this isn't the case then boss and whatever  strategy leads you to losing to the house.

Explain based on your understanding and experience. We're focusing on losses here, but if you want to share insights from your winning strategies (if you're profitable), that would be even more interesting to discuss.

Let's just say, if you don't have the money and starting from a small amount..it's mostly likely that your risk appetite is high and this exposes you to risk! But if you have the money, lower your risk and make that steady profit....the same approach people grow their VIP standing on the betting platforms.

Definitely. Those who properly control their finances will always be successful. It is necessary to do your hobbies and leisure and not to forget about controlling your mental and emotional state. A smart player will not be subject to emotions and will not continue the game, which is going into the minus of his pre-planned funds, but also, he will also analyze every mistake to prevent its repetition in the following games.

After continuing to gamble within the pre-determined allocation limit and losing, it becomes difficult to withdraw from gambling because I have already lost a lot and I have to recover it. This is the idea that most gamblers have and they are tempted to continue their game. Some of these gamblers can place themselves in the smart list. If you can implement the instructions given by you to reduce losses in gambling, it will be a positive decision for anyone. Most gamblers do not have the ability to control themselves, they are emotional in any situation during the game win/lose and harm themselves to continue playing more.

This is how a good gambler should think, any money you stake in a bet just see it as a 50/50. even when you hope for win,. bear in mind you might lose it. so when you finally lost you won't break down or being depressed. With this you will mindset you are already conquered emotions in gambling.

Nothing is much interesting than winning a bet with a bonus fund in your account, that doesn't mean you are smart, we all know the obvious that we lose in gambling than we win, so nothing to be mad about. Just keep playing and hope for a good win, but stake with what you can afford to lose at the end.
