If you really trust your skills, the key is to bet more, not less

[r_victory]

I insist that we remain prudent and committed to the budget we set. As confident as we are in our abilities, we shouldn't take too many risks. If it's possible to earn little by little, I prefer to keep it that way. I respect everyone's decisions, I believe they are all valid and adapted to their reality, but this is my way of managing my bets and what I spend on them.

Agreed with you because aside from the risk of error in game's speculation that reduces the chances it's very vital to note that the higher your bet the higher the house edge on the games which means the gambler have two forces working against him,, this is the most cases and for reasons of that we need to do a proper check on if we really need to take the bet in the first place.

Exactly the house edge doesn’t disappear just because you’re confident, it’s always there waiting to eat into your profit if you’re not selective enough that’s why I always say sometimes the best bet is the one you don’t take if the odds / the read don’t feel right it’s better to skip & wait for a cleaner opportunity, long-term discipline beats short-term excitement every time.

This may be true for some sportsbettors, but those people have been doing this activity professionally. But if not, be more conservative with your estimates as you can easily lose a lot. Also, with poker game. You can trust your skills on this game if you are playing this game on a professional basis for years. That is why, if you are a professional poker player, you can use this as your main source of income. If not, I don't think you can consider yourself a skilled one when you are just betting on those luck-based games.

Having a budget for our gambling activities can help those of us that like gambling and can go broke at anytime. Instead of going to borrow or looking for someone that will give you money to gamble, it's better to have a budget for our bankroll so we don't end up betting anyhow that can lead to mental instability. Gamble with what you have and don't always have the idea of looking for money without a strategy or budget to gamble.

I’ve been playing around with some numbers lately. Let’s say you have a $1,000 bankroll and you’re staking $50 per game. If you can keep a 55% win rate over 100 bets, that’s already around $500 profit. But if you stretch that to 1,000 bets, still at 55%, that turns into roughly $5,000 profit .. without even increasing your bet size.

That’s why I think the real edge comes from volume. If you’re confident in your skill, the more bets you take (with proper bankroll management of course), the more your edge compounds. It’s not about hitting one big parlay, it’s about letting the math play out over time.

Most bettors stop too early or get emotional after a few losses. But if you truly trust your process and your read on the games, the numbers show that consistency and volume are what separate skilled bettors from lucky ones.

Well, I think betting more is not always the key. Even with good skills, luck can change at any time, and a few bad results can break your bankroll. It’s better to stay consistent and, more importantly, to control your emotions. I personally play with a strict budget, even if I can afford more... actually, I’m afraid of losing control over myself if I do so. My aim is to hit the jackpot someday (and I hope so) without feeling stressed from overdoing this activity.

There is no guarantee in gambling irrespective of how much skills and knowledge you have acquired over the time being one must not keep trusting skills became sometimes things changes and gambling results doesn't come as we may think. To be frank gambling do with more of lucks instead of skills except for the skill based games then you could definitely needs to be that sound in knowledge while gambling.

There is nothing that's certain when it comes to gambling, so trusting youth skills to me sounds more like a trap and it's advisable not to fall for it. Betting more because you are confident or sure of your strategy can lead to losses. Some people say that you can trust your skills if you are playing on a professional basis but there is nothing like professionalism when it comes to betting, no one can have a perfect strategy that can always work, sometimes winning is based on skills and not how well you think you understand the game.

The risk in gambling should make gamblers to stick to their budget if they must continue to gamble having the confidence of winning more shouldn't make you increase your stake cause you may end up betting and losing your money but if you can maintain your staking amount and you are lucky to be winning regularly taking that amount to gamble regularly after each win should be where you exercise thqt confidence. The moment you stop gambling out of your budget you will no longer control the amount you will be using to gamble it may be your money but nothing stops you from gambling wisely and making use of your budgeted amount.

Yes, you are right. Actually skill does not matter because no one can say when and what kind of result will come in a casino. You have to be completely neutral while betting in a casino, the result can move in any direction at any time. If luck helps us, then the win will come in our favor, but if luck does not help us, then no matter how much skill we have, it will not be of any use in the casino.

I have seen many such comments about skill but I think that these skills do not matter in a casino. However, just thinking that you will win is not called skill in some cases, you have to understand how you can win if you do something. That is why you have to do a little analysis and then place a bet. The result of the casino can go in any direction, it is necessary to be always ready for this.

And how sure are you that your chances of making  profit will follow an arithmetic progression of %55 continuously on a regular basis? From your analysis it seams to me that your winning chance is higher than the loses meanwhile you fail to understand that loses are often more than win, and there could be possibility of losing %60 and winning %40 out of %100 in every 100 or 1000 bets. So we can't just think one way without thinking the other way around. What if the games staked huge on several occasions didn't work out positively, will you still encourage someone to adopt your strategy?

It’s not about hitting one big parlay, it’s about letting the math play out over time.

Letting the math play a long time is just by luck. Because out of every 10 game played it is always possible that 7, 8, 9 ticket will cut and 2-3 ticket will be left meaning the house edge is always higher even though you played for 2000 times, the house will always beat.

Gambling wins is not based on one's trust or your skill, alot of gamblers has lost huge sum of amount to gambling, it's not always easy the way we say it until when we are practicing this skill that is when you know how difficult it is, it is better to remain with your luck and your hard work towards gambling and accept gambling as fun not wanting to be more skilful to win more, it might just be disastrous if your skills never wins and you end up losing all you have at ones .

$1000 is a huge sum of fund to gamble with instantly all in the name of making profit, that means you are of the opinion that gambling is strictly for making money and not for fun which we are suppose to allow the win to come through luck, I so much believe that luck has a major roll to play when you gamble and not by spreading all your games in other to make more profit.

There are some sport bettors that are aiming at being professional sport bettors and their also claim to have steady winnings all this make them to start betting too overly along the line and that is not good for the overall long term goals, over betting can reck your entire bankroll within a seconds.
Unless you have finally settled for less and decide to have a long balance to waste only then you can be thinking like this.

You can still remain consistent by wagering small amount and still end up losing all. The logic is that making plenty bets with smaller amount can give you a winning edge but believe me it will only attract little wins because before you can accumulate games that will sum up a reasonable odds you must have added some matches that you may not really be sure of the outcome just so that they winning amount could be huge. It is better to stop too soon when on a losing streak than to chase losses all in the name that you are betting with a small amount because it can turn out to be a huge amount at last.

Gambling is a game of guessing and whenever you guess correctly then you win but when you don't have the right guessing the you lose entirely, many people are gambling today focused all their attention in gambling with the hope that a live changing opportunity would emerge from there without knowing that gambling is not just a game or game of heart where you say inside of you that you gonna x amount this evening and it comes as said or as wishes but the later end you lose completely. What that is important in gambling is that they should always gamble with at least 1 percentage of their household income and should limits how regularly they stake game or gamble with that it would help them reduces a lot attention being focused on the gambling site for profitability.

[Churchillvv]

On skilled based games, longevity is what makes you quiet profitable yet it is not still guaranteed that over the skill which you have developed that you could be successful with you spreading out your betting for longer term with the same bankroll, it is still wise to consider the effect of luck and how much you could play yet not be lucky for your skill to favour you. If you loss beyond the average loss which you assume to be around 50% then one should consider giving up for the time being.

Have you actually tried this yourself, or do you just have an opinion about sports betting strategies? Theory is one thing, but practice is something completely different...

In general, you need to have a strong character to endure & stick with one strategy in one game in the long run. I find that hard... even when I focus only on sports betting or poker, sooner or later I make a turn and end up playing in-house games or slots.

I think there is no perfect strategy in gambling, everything depends on luck, it is not possible to win without luck, no matter how much you research and decide, if luck is not with you then you will not be able to win in any way, the result will change in the end, you will lose, nothing happens here according to expectations after researching, there are many who consider themselves to have perfect strategies, but in the end everyone faces losses, losses can never be avoided here, losses will happen so you have to accept the losses.

Alot of our members here have said this that gambling should be about strategy and control and not the show of overconfidence and emotions because both of these things won't help you in real terms. The moment you start chasing quick profits, just know that you are no longer playing smartly but playing blindly. Being overconfidence and overambitious are the things that cause many gamblers to take risks that are bigger than them and land in financial troubles that are bigger than their pockets as a result. Whenever you are gambling, just stay true to yourself and be patient with your little wins so that you can avoid getting to financial crisis

Exactly! It is all about proper management of your bets which involves skills as you said, it is not all bettors that can think like this, some of us are driven by emotions because we will not want to lose the little profit we already have, but applying more risk and being a bit patient might result to a bigger profit which we always regret after taking the little profit we have.

This is all about skills, but refusing to take the little profit if the money is gone will be reffed to as greed  ; you need to know what you really want, if you don’t trust skills, settle for the little profit don’t do what others are doing just because they are making good money from it, do what you are comfortable with.

No strategy is effective in gambling because it is not possible to win consistently. No matter how skilled a gambler I am, I cannot guarantee my bets. I think it is better for a gambler to be interested in a particular bet than to bet constantly. When a gambler bets small amounts continuously, he may lose focus at some point due to winning or losing, but if someone sees and increases the amount of money on a bet, then the excitement will increase and there will be a possibility of big wins.
