Need some advice!

[Cityhunter34]

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. 

Of course using small odds doesn't guarantee winnings in gambling. that is where most gamblers normally get it wrong, hoping that once they use a small odds that winning is sating without realizing that gambling is always unpredictable. However, in sports betting odds are not always sating, even the least 1.00 odd can never brings winnings to you easily unless the luck is on your side if not there is nothing possible in gambling is all depends on luck.

However, analysis doesn't guarantee a gamblers winning, likewise the odds, it doesn't matter if the odd is big or it's small, what matters is how lucky you are to win your bet. Many gamblers get it wrong. They chooses small odds because they think those are the sure ones. Some gamblers believes that the small odds are sure and it gets to a point when they stake huge money on small odds.

That is what most gamblers do not understand. Choosing a smaller odd over a bigger odd and use a huge amount on it would never make one to win easily, rather it will going to cause you more losses at the end of day. And even though most gamblers normally feel comfortable whenever they uses a small odd that winning would come at the end, without remembering that luck plays a significant role in determining the outcome, regardless of the odds.

I meannnn I don't think it'd hurt your bankroll that much? Since you're picking high-odds games anyway, just bet lower amounts if there are more games to play. If it's close to the final few games, then go up in the amount instead. Personally since you've experienced it yourself that it isn't working then maybe rather than blaming you for picking higher odds, blame instead how you're reading the matches. Like at this point I reckon you're just waiting for a team to get a high odd placement without bothering whether they can even give you your win (based on whatever condition you're betting on).

Still think you're good on going high odds instead though. A lot better imo than low odds since low bet and it's not even a real guarantee of them winning.

That’s the problem.. I can’t really lower my bet when going for high odds because if I win, I might not feel content. 
So that’s my main issue for now: big hopes, big goals, but small capital.

They say betting on high odds means lower chances of winning , and yeah, I guess for now, I have no choice but to play that kind of game.

[Kelward]

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?

My advise is that we all know that we get tempted to increase bankroll so that when we bet and win that the potential profit will also be substantial. But you also have to know that when you increase your bet it will mean increased risk. Personally, I have advised myself to stick with reasonable gambling if I have to, it is good to take higher risk sometimes but you have to be responsible for it, don't regret and gnash teeth or transfer aggression to friends and family. It is better to stake with the bet amount that you can bear it lose too. It may feel slow when you follow the standard way of reasonable betting but it is better that way, gradually you can build your bet winnings than to throw all your bankroll and regret.

Increased bet means increased risks so if you are comfortable with it you can go for it and accept whatever results that it brings. You can choose either a high or low odds it's your choice, where I focus on is my bankroll. Whatever strategy I choose to gamble, I apply the golden rule of using amount that I can afford to loose. We don't need to have a rigid strategy to place our bets, aside from the bankroll which requires control, you can chase high or low odds depending on what you feel like at the time of placing your bets.

If you’re confident and you can handle the results, there’s no problem with that.
A lot of us are already losing in gambling, but we’re still playing anyway. Maybe the real battle here isn’t about who has the biggest wins, it’s about who gives up first.

It’s kinda funny, but we can’t deny that this is the reality we’re all going through.

[DiMarxist]

Low odds are not safer and likewise the higher odds and all goes with luck and one thing I will tell you is, you should not be greedy and always play according to your mind and some some analysis of the team which they have played in the past and the present team standing on the pitch.
NBA is another sport game that is difficult to predict and it needs good analysis to win odds.

You are not wrong either, like have said earlier that odds doesn't matter in gamble because you only need to be lucky so that you can win. If odds are important, many gambler would have become a successful bettors because currently many gamblers are selecting the small odds as they think that's surer than the bigger ones.

If you want my opinion, I would say you need to develop more discipline and ask yourself why you are gambling for. Because it would seem you are only on this ecosystem for the sake of fast money and that prompts you to take risks which you may not be able to afford, honestly.

Even if you bankroll is small and you believe you are under control when comes to your spending, there is still a chance you develop addiction to gambling and start to seek money from other sources in order to continue to chase those big multipliers.

I would advise you to take a rest from gambling and not to bet for a couple of weeks, because you understand the actual risk you are supposed to manage and what could happen to your personal finances if you don't control yourself.

Good luck.

[Sandra_hakeem]

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

Very simple!! Do you have to ask us everything? No. If you try something and it doesn't work for you, not even something close to what you expected and you know that it's not even going to workout in a few more tries, stop doing it.

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.

Raising your bankrolls/ stakes isn't a bad idea overall.. You just have to be sure you're not sinking in a mud pit. The bigger the stakes, the bigger the win... But also, if the reverse happens to be the case, you know what that means.
So just like you said, I'd recommend anyone to pick those smaller odds with more possibility to cut a win, and then double their stakes on them.

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.

Any advice for me?

Actually yeah. It's not greediness that fails you, it's the assumption that you would win because you used to win.
You think it's not working anymore, but it never did. There's no system, there's only change or luck if you will.

Humans have developed pattern recognition skill to help us stay alive. In modern days it shows as an urge to find patterns in everything.
Like winning streak for example, we try to reason with it, because we want to repeat it.
But our pattern recognition skill isn't developed for gambling, or understanding the logic behind probability.
We like to think we can do it, but you can compare that skill more to something like finding patterns in the clouds resembling animals.
It makes as much sense.

You win or you lose, just don't assume that can repeat the win or loss in same way.

[taufik123]

Even if you bankroll is small and you believe you are under control when comes to your spending, there is still a chance you develop addiction to gambling and start to seek money from other sources in order to continue to chase those big multipliers.
-snip-

A belief that will eventually plunge a person into an addiction that makes more money will be involved and eventually lose.
Some people who are overconfident may do this, and they don't realize that what they do will be a big deal in the end.

Be confident with small bets at first and then lose in a few gaming sessions or bets, small enough but keep repeating until the pad finally looks for a source and a bigger one as you say.
But not only that, criminal acts can also be committed if they do not have other money and are forced to take it from other people who do not belong to it.

It's about how important self-control is even if little money is spent.

In some cases, you may gamble because of the odd, but know it that the higher the odd the higher the chances of loosing and that lower odds will not promise you a high return on gambling as you want, except you then device a way of engaging more games to accumulate on these odds together with bonus to gamble, while at doing all these, the chances of winning decreases as the risk increase together with the odds.

In my opinion, you have already advice your self based on what you said here. Tho the progress might be slow but if you always remain on a winning streak for a long time, you will realize you also made so much profit. Although small odds can still mess up your bets but if you are already aware of how gambling can be, you will just play wise while gambling. Chasing after high odds for the sake of doubling your bankroll instantly is more risky because those high odds are mostly traps that bookies set for some greedy gamblers.

You are basically treating sports betting as a casino game where you aim for big wins while taking too much risk. Sports betting isn't like playing casino games because, in sports betting, you need to play it safe because you should know that the side that is the favourite will usually have lower odds but you have to go with that if you don't want to gamble on your luck, and we all know that luck doesn't play the primary role in sports betting but it's your knowledge and understanding of the game that has the priority.

Isn't it better to win 2 games with 1.8x odds than betting on a game with 2.6x odds and losing your bankroll? Of course, the first one is better. It might take more time but it's at least safe and it wouldn't make you lose money, and that's why it's said that sports betting can keep you profitable in the long run as long as you do it in the right way.

It is not advisable to bet on high odds because there is no guarantee of winning the bet if you bet on high odds. You should always bet on the balance of the team and the players. I never bet on a team with high odds. I always bet on the complete consistency of the team and as a result I can make my bets much more successful. There are many people who do not want to bet on low odds and bet on high odds, as a result they end up losing the match.

Overconfidence kills in betting, no matter how sure your predictions might seem don't get too cocky with it otherwise the outcome might just break your heart. Maintain a decent bankroll and don't let tempted to chase high odds. It's more strategic to place a bet of 2 to 5 odds, anything beyond that is too much risk, although nothing is guaranteed, small odds are not safe either but the chances of winning are quite high compared to betting on big odds

What piece of advise will you give to newbies coming into the gambling system? It's not easy and the system have been designated to make gamblers lose heavily in the system, losses can come anytime but we should sit tight and make sure we have gigantic winning. Gambling is all about taking the risk, we should always bet on games that we tend to make good profits from and also having the mindset of exploring more in the space. Secondly, always bet with money you can afford to loss and not the other way round.

Consistency matters? Ofcourse it does, atleast to be on the right track in gambling, in that way your existence in the system will be more lengthy compare to others that makes crucial mistakes. Gambling is all about making good use of one's initiatives and targeting the top spot in all scenario.

[Darker45]

I'm sure you know what to do. I assume you've been into gambling for quite some time.

But if you really want to grab better odds, I share what you're doing. I also bet while the game is on. Especially if you're supposed to bet on a favorite, betting in advance means you'll settle with lower odds.

If you have time to watch the game and monitor the odds, it's probably better to wait for the game to begin. Place your bet only when your team is behind in points. If you're confident in your team, the higher the lead of the opposing team, the better. You could turn a 1.45 odds pre-game into 2.20. But there's a higher risk, of course. Do this only if you're convinced that your chosen team will win no matter what.

Most gamblers bet on probability and I do the same as they do on analysis and current performance of teams and players. Every bet should be made considering the balance. Betting based on probability alone can be a reckless decision so review the trophy winning history and the loss rate of the team you are betting on. Your betting idea is correct and you should also remember that balanced betting does not guarantee you a win so in the end we have to surrender ourselves to fate.
