Want to win big but don’t want to bet big?

And that seems to me a very intelligent way to bet, and one that we should all do. I know that everyone has their own style, but in reality, the most important thing is responsibility, and above all, what has to do with our finances, small balances reflect small gains but also small losses. At the end of the day, we are winning more than we have lost, It's sad to play little and lose a lot of money.

Taking responsibility of everything that concerns you is important, as it make you to know what to do and how to manage your finances without actually having to spend it unnecessary, which will produce no gain in it. Responsible gambling is what gamblers should emphasize on and practice on it, which will make them to bet small, in which they either win big or lose but whatever thing it may be, they won't be tempted to do the wrong thing.

Maturity is taking responsibility, most persons like to shift blame or find the nearest person or thing to put their blames on, but that's why they keep making such mistakes. When you accept your wrong doing and work towards them, you become better at making good decisions but when you think others should be blamed at all times then you might end up in a pretty bad spot in life. Even as gamblers it's best to realize our mistakes and take responsibility for it and also admit not no make same mistake again else we might end up always thinking the casino are at fault meanwhile it us who didn't pay attention to the fact that the house would always be on the wining side.

I think the real problem if you want to win big is the budget, but aside from the budget is the thinking what if i lose, that's what really blocking it, because aside from losing there is someone who will get affected like your family it is important that if you are into gambling, you should know your limits, you should not thinking of what if this and that, responsible gambling is needed, maybe you can bet big if you don't have a family but its still not sustainable, losing something in one go, it will ruin everything.

It's easier to bet small amounts of money that you can afford to lose easily, without chasing high odds. This way, you'll have a good chance of winning and can take small steps. If you want to win everything right away, you'll have to take risks and either bet on high odds or bet big, but I think both options make it harder for you to win.

I don't know why some gamblers are so greedy that they intend to win big with little amount of money. In reality, the measure you give is what you receive and this also applies to gambling. This is why it's good to bet within your limit on a match that you have a high chance of winning even though, the odd is very small. Winning little is better than losing.

Yeah, winning little is better than losing just exactly like we normally say that having a half bread is better than having no bread at all, and it's also inline with this very popular proverbs which states that "a living dog is better than a dead lion".

But then to be honest with you, wanting more from gambling is not being greedy, it's just what it is, wanting more, there are gamblers who also have more than enough that that their reason for gambling is for small wins, it's always they win it big or they simply don't gamble, we know this ones as the high rollers.. Can you say that them always wanting to win bigger amount of money is them being greedy? Of course not.
In a field that is large and open to every one to choose how large a portion they want, it is you who decide how large a portion you want and know you can fight for to defend, if at the end of the day, you choose a portion that is larger than you can fight for, and you end up losing, that's your luck, you can always try again, it's not greed because there are those who also will choose a very small portion and still end up losing it as well.

I agree. If you bet with 99% chance of winning, it doesn't mean you win 1.01x on you bet. It's not like, "I'll win small amount, but win is a win." No. You can bet $100 aiming at winning just $1 and although it's very unexpected, you can lose that bet, and you will basically lose $100, risk $100 hoping to win $1 and lose it. How frustrating is that!

This is indeed frustrating, but many gamblers either don’t know or forget that when they bet with a 99% chance of winning, this applies to a single bet, not to a series of bets you place during a gaming session. For example, if you bet with odds of 1.01 just once, you’re very likely to win it. However, if you place, say, 100 such bets, there is a ~63% chance you will lose at least once. And if you place 1k bets, the chances of winning anything are almost zero. More precisely, 0.0043%.

True, but even for a single bet the odds are still not enticing enough for a lot of gamblers, I personally won't even be to excited by such an odd, if I win I wan very little, if I lose I lose a lot of money for it, it's just not worth the risk for me so that's why even though chances of winning are lower with bigger odds they are also usually preferred since at least you get something out of it if you win, it's just hard to see someone who will be willing to consistently risk so much for so little.

Yes, because things really should always happen that way. What I have to bet, what I risk in the casino, is fair, what I'm willing to lose for the amount of responsibility, and that's good, because in the end we have to be smart when managing money. It doesn't matter how little you bet in a casino, at least you can play, and not everyone can play in a casino.

Although sometimes I do prefer such types of bets, especially in times that I really don’t plan to stick around for much time in the casino, maybe I just wanna go in to test my luck without much involvement. But what I do is that, I pick up to 2 or 3 games, with around 2+ odds and then I bank on it, staking all my bankroll on it, if I lose, I go knowing I’ve lost for the day, and if I win, I go knowing I’ve been able to double my bankroll for the day.

I think there are actually a lot of gamblers who do this, especially when they’re trying to find a "surefire" strategy during a losing streak. Psychologically speaking, if they see that they have a 99% chance of winning, gamblers will expect to at least partially win back the money they lost earlier. But obviously, this is a false hope that not only fails to make up for previous losses but, on the contrary, actually accelerates the draining of their bankroll.

So what’s your take on this, is it smarter to go big when you feel confident, or stay safe and settle for small wins?

Even if you are confident, bet what you can bear to lose so i don't think this has to do with betting with a small amount or big amount. There are people that can lose $1000 on a single bet and they won't even feel like they lost that amount because they have thousands of dollars in their account but you don't expect someone that has like $1500 to bet a game of $1000 just because he is confident about the bet, it doesn't work that way. However, those who bet with huge amount and lose are mostly those who chase after losses, so it is better to stake your small amount and have peace of mind when it lost.

Talking about being confident while gambling can lead to lossing control emotionally while gambling. Gambling is a game of luck and people should always take control of there emotions and not allow being confident and end up making the mistake of gambling with more than what they can afford to lose because they believe that they are going to win. Gambler shouldn't allow themselves to make emotional decisions by gambling with more than what they can afford to lose as a result of being confident.

It is a good idea but the chances of winning are higher when betting at lower odds. Make such bets with my remaining money because there is not much to lose but some money to be made. But sports will require some observation as well as luck. But before placing such bets one should make specific plans and proceed accordingly. I think you bet combo,It is very difficult to win. Easier than this is the single bet and easier to win.

You are right, being confident shouldn't be a reason for staking an amount of money that you cannot afford to lose. There are bettors that put in a lot of time into analyzing their bets and as a result of that they tend to be very confident of the options they bet on but they are quick to forget that it is always going to be a game of probability no matter how well they analyze it.

This type of thinking is what causes most gamblers to make their worst decisions. After losing, they are already in a bad financial situation. Even if they gamble uncontrollably to get back the money they lost, they will still have no money to gamble again. In such a situation, many people take loans from someone or even from the bank to start betting again. In this way, the gambler himself continues to make his situation worse day by day. In my long gambling experience, I have realized that the bets I expected to win the most often ended up losing the most. That is why it is better not to think of a certain win in any bet.

Of course that advice is required in all strategy, even when you're betting on single game you still need to gamble with what you can afford to lose because there's no strategy that can guarantee wining in gamble all we do is just to adopt the strategy that will be suitable for us, even though some people are saying that single bettors are more profitable than multiple bettors but I think the chance is almost the same and I feel that those single bettors are the ones that loss the more because they go with higher stake while multiple bettors usually go with lower stake, the thing is people don't show regard in this aspect of losing they are only concerned about the one that is profitable among the two strategy.

To be precise consistently placing large bets accelerates the depletion of our own capital, but in my opinion that’s not a problem as long as it’s within our means.
I myself have shifted from placing small bets initially to now placing larger ones more frequently, but clearly this is within my own means.

The problem arises when our bets exceed our means that’s where issues or negative consequences can occur.

[Mandoy]

When betting small amounts, the winnings won’t be huge, and the jackpots will be proportional to the stakes, but betting small is safer with good bankroll management, so you don’t rush and can enjoy every spin.

And that seems to me a very intelligent way to bet, and one that we should all do. I know that everyone has their own style, but in reality, the most important thing is responsibility, and above all, what has to do with our finances, small balances reflect small gains but also small losses.

You are correct there is a definite trade off between risk and reward. Most gamblers wish to win big and bet small. but in practice. it does not often happen in this manner. Smaller bets inherently reduce both losses and wins. as such they are the best bets to keep control and increase the time to play. Consistency and discipline is what is more important than pursuing big payouts. Most players lose more by upping the stakes too rapidly due to impatience. Consistency and appropriate bankroll management can never result in massive fortunes. but it will save your money and make gambling fun rather than a nightmare or a curse.
