Need some advice!

[Sanitough]

Right now, we're all enjoying the NBA playoffs. So far, I’m being more aggressive with my bets because I feel more confident the best teams are playing!
But even though I believe I can win, sometimes I get greedy because, honestly, my bankroll isn’t that decent.

Sometimes, I aim to win like 10x my bankroll.
So what I do is bet on games with higher odds, like I’ll watch the game, wait for a team to fall behind, then when the odds shoot up (like x5), I hammer it.
But based on experience… it’s not really working out anymore.

There’s also the standard betting with odds like 1.90,  it's safer, but the journey feels so slow.
That’s why sometimes, I really get tempted to chase those high odds.

Any advice for me?

So with this strategy, did you got the OKC Thunder and live bet on them against the Memphis when they are down like 20 points? Because if you did then it could have been a good win for you as the Thunder comes back from that huge deficit and won the game.

It's very hard to give advice mate, but for me, I will go with the safe bet like single bet. Just like in the Knicks vs Pistons, the Knicks in the favorite but just slight. But still the line started at 1.87 ML so that is good enough odds for me to pour some big money on it.

Instead of chasing like bigger odds, or even a multi leg parlay and then you have to wait for the results of the other games. But the thing is that just one L will obviously ruined your bet and it's going to be hard to accept it mentally.

it seems that your seeking advice for earning money by betting, which I can't give you.

In the end, the odds are similar, I guess. I mean, you make some risky bets and win a few which pay you better than making safer bets which pay you worse, but in the summation the results could be the same in the long term.

Maybe safer bets will allow you to play for longer, and riskier ones give you the chance to multiply your balance by a lot, but which is better? I don't know, the one that makes you enjoy the most, I guess. I personally prefer the latter, but I take betting as a hobby and I give up the money for lost; if I eventually win a big prize unexpectedly, better for me, but I'm well aware that it's not what will happen most likely.

[Japinat]

I think you already know the answer yourself, you’ve seen the results. Chasing those high odds doesn’t do much for your profitability.

So, since you’re confident you can win with those standard odds you mentioned, maybe focus on that.
This is where the idea of raising a bigger bankroll comes in. Some might say it’s bad advice, but it is what it is, gambling is risky. You take the risk if you believe in your skills.

Well I think going with those odds of 1.90 is the way to go if you know and have followed NBA for a long time despite being slower to build up and not be greedy. Also placing live bets can be an option though most of the people fail to win their bets when they bet in live play, especially when the game is not that readable from what have happened so far there. There is the last but most dangerous of ways, I know for example very well that the Champions of NBA in one game they lost against some underdog while having 1.04 odd and in here if you combine the underdog to win and also over or under x amount of points you can easily go to the 10 odd, in here though this rarely happens so it take some guts to try one of such bets.

You aim to win 10x and that's what pushing you around making silly decisions, you have a winning goal in gambling, there is no better advice that I can give someone like you, than to lower for greed..
Also just because you are so sure of your team capability doesn't mean that they will win, if you don't think about what will happen if they lose then you deserve everything that happen to you after.
While planning to win always think about what will happen if you lose too, gambling is luck, if you can't accept this truth then you are on your own.

Totally hard on giving out some advise specially if this one talks about on how someone should be choosing up their bets. If you do find that chasing higher odds doesnt work anymore then so be it.
Stick with low odds but having that higher chance of winning but since you have that mentioned that it will be a slow journey then this isnt a betting style that you do want or like. So if you do find about
being slow then stick on chasing those higher odds but since you do know already into yourself that it doesnt work anymore compared when you have tested it before, then its impossible that you dont know on what are the potential or outcomes likely that comes out. The key on here is that as long you dont find yourself that being stressful and making up some bets on which you could chill and have fun then this is what most important i should say.

You aim to win 10x and that's what pushing you around making silly decisions, you have a winning goal in gambling, there is no better advice that I can give someone like you, than to lower for greed..

This one! If your mind and emotion combined on trying out to achieve that 10x of your bankroll or gambling capital then there's always that feel of no contentment towards your bets
specially if you do stick into 1.9x odds or something in near then you will be finding it slow. Usually you will be finding 2.xx or 3.xx or even more odds looks interesting and that what
spikes your greed.

[Ziskinberg]

While planning to win always think about what will happen if you lose too, gambling is luck, if you can't accept this truth then you are on your own.

You shouldn’t even be worrying about losing if you’re a disciplined gambler, meaning you’re only betting what you can afford to lose. (That should be the basic rule.)

What we should really be focusing on while gambling is how we manage our picks and bankroll, because at the end of the day, the goal is to win.

Now, if you’re always chasing high odds, that also means your chances of winning drop.
And if you’re depending on luck to win, that’s not the right approach if you want to win consistently.

[Slow death]

Any advice for me?

My advice would be to look back, sit down and think: "How much money have you lost and how much money have you won and are you happy now?" Gambling is a form of entertainment, so it is assumed that when we bet money, we are happy after the result of the game, regardless of the outcome.

I will give you an example from myself, see:

I have this bet



I bet $1 on ETH, if I lose, it won't be a problem, on the contrary I will have fun when I watch the Newcastle game on TV. If I get this bet right, I will take the $2 profit and bet on another multi with high odds, if I win I will celebrate, if I lose I will not be sad

I have this other bet



I also bet $1, if I win I would have $4 and then I would take it and bet on another game with odds of @4.00, these are small amounts, which I can't even withdraw to a real-world bank, because I only bet for fun.

What I want to tell you is that you shouldn't look at gambling as a source of income, look at it as entertainment.

I can see from the amount you’re betting that it’s really just for fun. It’s a whole different kind of thrill when the money you risk is bigger.

For me, even just $10 on a parlay would already have me nervous watching the game! And honestly, I don’t like that feelin as it takes the fun out of gambling. So I actually like your betting range when it comes to parlays. Feels chill, keeps it fun.

Maybe the only thing I can say is that you should not apply greed while you are playing op, you know the consequences and effects of this are not good, the result will be ugly for sure, right?
Then you also know that if you chase your losses, the ending will not be good either.

So, play and bet with contentment in playing what you like op, and when you see that you are prospering, just maintain it and it will benefit you.
nd also avoid making it your habit to bet big because it is difficult to maintain, honestly.

You should just do a parlay that comprised with average odds to achieved higher odds instead of waiting for a pick to go higher odds and hope that reversal will happened which is rare to happened on NBA play offs especially if the odds is already x5 to the original odds already.

Betting on playoffs is profitable because it’s much easier to analyze each match because same team is fighting on game of 7 match.

Stay away on single bet high odds instead use parlay if you want higher odds.

Nothing has changed from the uncertainty of gambling OP. Apparently change is constant in gambling which literally you can not get it right all the time and because of that, you are required to always stake affordable amount to loose and as well take good healthy control of your emotions otherwise, you may end up ruining your bankroll and even your state of being.

If you know your bankroll is not sufficient enough to withstand your aim in gambling such as chasing big wins, you are expected to bet with lower wager while chasing big odds but be sure that the chances of loosing is higher when chasing big odds than small odds.

If you have a strong strategy that could give you winnings on little RTP (profits), I think you should maintain it up and increase your accumulated profits gradually.

You just have to take greed off your mind and when you know you don't have a decent bankroll, then it is the more reasons why you should always wager less values depending on your bankroll so that you can keep aiming at that goal while have some long time trying if at the end of on the middle process you can make some good results.

The less risky process is always the slower process. Even in investing, when you invest through DCA method it feels slow to have a handful of bitcoins, but one thing is sure it is less risky, and you will still achieve your goal. However, it is different when you relate it with betting because the process won't assure you any win.

Here is what I do when I feel this way. Out of 100% percent of my daily bankroll. I use 60% to bet on small odds like the 1.90 and 2.04 odds while the remaining 40% I bet on high odds. This way I balance risk and also aim at winning big by luck.

I wish I was disciplined enough to take it slow...

Actually, maybe I could do it, but the problem is sometimes the bankroll just isn’t enough.
It’s easy to say, "Just gamble a small percentage of your bankroll."
But what if even 100% of your bankroll isn’t enough to make you happy if you win?

Op I've had similar experience before, I understand that making selections of small odds games are likely to result in win most times but the longer your bet selection is the more chances of losing the bet but higher win potential. Well in situations like this, you just have to be honest with yourself that gamble isn't gonna make you rich so you can focus on gambling with the proper risk management strategy like, gambling with what you can afford to loose so that, if loses comes, it wouldn't be a case of bankruptcy. Sometimes it's temping to make an extra bet or gamble on the high odd but the question is, how often do those decisions turns out to favour you?

Well, sorry to say this but your desire and desperation for quick wealth will possibly ruin you more faster even before you get a chance of possibly getting that which you are looking for, my advice to you is that you slow down and be more conservative with your betting, there are definitely no guarantees but I will advice you rely more on your personal research and convictions than chase big odds, what you are doing right now can also be likened to rage gambling.

Winning a big odd is often very sweet since one gets to make a lot of money from a very small capital, but to be honest with you, based on my own personal experiences, If you are not lucky, you might or may end up losing so much money before you even get a single win, and by the time you get this win, you must have lost more that the profit made from the win won't even cover.

[serjent05]

Why ask others when you have answered your question yourself?  Are you waiting for someone to push you with your kind of strategy?  Something like you are lost between the two choices and wanted someone to back up one of your choices, isn't it?  

I would say go for the safer odd.  As long as you are confident with your betting knowledge and the sports, I believe your own choice of strategy is the best to try.  And btw, I understand your aim to gain a big win, since you won't be betting if you are not expecting a gain.  Just make sure that your target winnings is in the realistic odd range.

[rachael9385]

Any advice for me?

It's funny to think that low odds are safer, there's nothing guaranteed in sports betting even 1.01 isn't really safe, don't fall for small odds they can be very deceiving. If you are looking for something to give you quick money you are also looking for a way to lose easily. Following a step by step process with a decent stake and risk management is better than trying to increase your bankroll and stakes to chase high rewards. 

[danherbias07]

It worked at the first games of the playoffs because there's really no telling which team is going to win. But on the next games, we must analyze them more deeply, as those favorites might really be the winners of the games.

The spreads are where it gets bumpy, as there are offers which is really inviting. +5 above will be a crucial spread because most of the time the games end on a close one, and those spreads will probably help out to win each game.
I don't really have any good advice because I only won the first game, but in the 2nd and 3rd games, it's getting more difficult to predict the results.
