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

[Oasisman]

But the positive outcome cant be possible everyday, what OP is meaning is to be successful everyday and never to fail a day to reach the milestone of 5k dollars after 100 bets. No matter the analysis, the positive result wont be consistent but that shouldnt be the reason while you call yourself a skillful bettor. I personally dont support betting more but less, a clear trial of one bet daily with minimal risk is pretty better.

It' $5k profit in 1000 bets, or $500 profit in 100 bets.

Regardless how many times you lose out of 100 bets, a 55% or higher win rate is already considered skilled. If you keep your bet size consistent, that win rate is enough to stay profitable in the long run. You don't need to win and successful everyday for that to happen. It's not about winning every bet, it's about discipline, consistency, and understanding the math. Emotions and overbetting are what usually ruin a good edge.

The only thing that's concerning me in that kind of computation, is the consistency of that winning rate percentage. I understand that we're just theoretically calculating some possibilities of making profit out of volume betting, but that actually is hard to execute. You're not only needing skills and consistency in this, but patience and composure as well. Emotions sometimes are getting high when a consecutive losses occurs, and that is where your doubts kicked in, thinking about whether this betting winning percentage still works.

I don’t really agree with this idea of trusting skills in betting you can do everything right and still lose because the outcome is never fully in your control.

trust to skill it's okay but never overconfident with that. Skill it's not guaranteed 100% win, you are right about that. I think every person who have skill in betting, they will betting more carefully to placed higher bet. Skilled gambler have better analysis, than ordinary gambler, I don't think they will betting blindly too.

I don't really trust my skills in sports betting. I do know a few things, but consistently achieving good statistics is very difficult for me. Instead of playing a lot, it's more important for me to play less and enjoy the games I do play. It's more meaningful and makes me happy when I have a good win occasionally. If I had a consistent win rate of over 50%, then I would play more often.

[nimogsm]

Trusting your skills doesn't mean that you should take careless risks because gambling doesn't really have a guaranteed outcome of being favourable. Being skillful when it comes to predicting games doesn't mean that you are invincible, you can reduce the chances of losing by applying skills but it doesn't automatically make you a profitable bettor, always be on the safe side by betting safely

You can never be 100% sure of victory. Here's a simple example: the fight between Tyson and Jake Paul. I think everyone understands that Tyson would have won, and there's no doubt about that, but the fight was fixed and Jake won. I'm sure many Tyson fans bet on him, but we all know the result.There is always a factor that the player cannot influence.

Even those who are good at predicting have times when they will not get any game right because games don't always play as we predict them. We just try to improve on our prediction skill, but we can't perfect it. We just need to try to gamble on a moderate in order not to be affected too much by the loss if it happens, and when winning comes, the gap won't be that different.

It shows a great realistic outlook on this situation you show by being aware of the shortcomings of human analysis. In my opinion, the most effective way to escape the deep regrets is to balance your bets. You may not see an increase in your profits, but at least you are not in a state of shock at the realisation of your unexpected losses. We need to know that we cannot do predictions perfectly and hence minimum is our major protection in the long term and will take care and survive.

Also, what kind of skills are you referring to that we can use in this field of crypto space? I'm a bit curious because maybe the skills I'm thinking of are different from what you're saying, bro. It's also for the clarity of our other companions here who might not know either.

I think the same way, I don't see any reason to bet a lot in a casino, If I bet a lot, the risk of losing a lot increases, and that's dangerous Money is the only thing we should be Careful with when we're in a casinoWe must accept that the casino will always win and that we are just customers hoping for some luck Money will always be the greatest treasure we can protect.

Accepting limits in sports betting is often the point where enjoyment replaces frustration. When someone understands that prediction skill will never be perfect pressure starts to fade naturally. Playing less removes the need to force outcomes and allows decisions to stay calm. Occasional wins feel better when they are not chased. The focus shifts from proving accuracy to simply enjoying the process. That shift alone protects the mind from disappointment and regret.
Balancing bets is really about protecting emotional stability rather than maximizing returns. Smaller stakes soften losses and prevent shock when results go the wrong way. No one predicts consistently because sports are influenced by factors that analysis cannot fully capture. Accepting uncertainty keeps expectations realistic and losses manageable. Over time this approach helps someone stay detached and patient. Survival in betting comes from restraint awareness and knowing when enough is enough.

I don’t really agree with this idea of trusting skills in betting you can do everything right and still lose because the outcome is never fully in your control.

We just develop skills to help us increase our chance of winning more than those other regular bettors who don't do things differently, but that doesn't mean we should follow that little skill blindly. The game outcome can still change in a few minutes, which is why we don't need to have overconfidence in them and place bets with an amount we can afford to risk.

Yeah, that's true.

At the end of the day money is the only thing that matters inside a casino.

And people end up losing all their money there.

[Asuspawer09]

I mean the real thing is, it is really going to relay on skills? since all you are doing is just clicking and betting I dont think there was really some kind of real life skills that is really involed if you are going to gamble since most of the time it is just a test of luck and you might argue that chances of winning would end you up in a profit, but at the same time that 55% chance could end up losing it or losing a huge chunk of your money.

How can you say that you are confident on your skills when there was no skill that is involved personally I just did some things tweaks it hoping that it has higher chance of winning, I mean the odd seems fair in some games, that is probably where skills could have a little advantage like card games or sportbetting where you could make some analysis if you are familiar with the game or the players that is on it.

It is just way to risky to get confident since it is not really smart from the first place to gamble since statistically you are surely going to lose your money for over 90% of the time.

We can develop skills but we can't increase the chances of winning because when the game starts, our chances also change. We don't know if our analysis will help us to win so it is better we bet using the amount we can afford. Even if we have good skills, we can't trust it and better to accept anything happens.

The game outcome can change, even in the last minute so we must not overconfidence to our analysis. We can't say we have good skills in analysis because that make us forget that the game can change.

[Dr.Osh]

I have never really thought about consistently seeking profits in gambling, isn't that too difficult to do because the role of luck is very important in gambling, if I want to make money I would hope for trading because skills are very valid compared to gambling, because gambling results only depend a little on skills

trust to skill it's okay but never overconfident with that. Skill it's not guaranteed 100% win, you are right about that. I think every person who have skill in betting, they will betting more carefully to placed higher bet. Skilled gambler have better analysis, than ordinary gambler, I don't think they will betting blindly too.

In other words, trusting our own skills should be followed by wiser money management. Means that even if we trust our skills or we are so sure about the bet we are going to place, we should not place an amount exceeding our own limit. Our skills does not give winning guarantee especially in sports because something unexpected may happen in sports which makes our best analysis failed.

You are right @Orpichukwu, skill or strategy can only give the gambler a direction or an extra edge of winning but still, the wins are not guaranteed, it's even possible that someone that lacks skills can win repeatedly because of luck while the person that seems to know the game better have not win at all. So, I don't actually believe that of you trust your skill so much, you should bet more, that can lead to addiction when the expected wins are not coming.

You have to consider those upset that may take place as even how you think you are sure with your pick having good management will save you from bigger regret that may tale place, it's best to be more wiser than being sorry when unforeseen situation take place, having that confidence doesn't secure you a win or guarantee that you'll be able to control the outcome, keep the enjoyment with good balance between your time and the money that you spent in anyhow gambling depends to your apetite and your capability to take and accept the risk that you are taking.

[Muba20]

In the case of betting, everyone tries to resort to some strategy. Even if someone loses, he still tries to rely on a strategy. There is no chance to rely on this strategy or his skills for certain. The gambler knows that they cannot say about certain win. But if someone wants to be sure of any strategy for this uncertain win, then he faces a big loss. No matter how good the strategy is, there is no chance to trust it. The gambler will not always be able to profit by winning, which is why if he takes a break in gambling and thinks that it is also a good strategy for him to survive, then he will be benefited.

Oh well, if we're talking about the safety of our choices, we're screwed. I think that no one can ever be sure of their choice because we live in a world so fast and so used to consuming anything that I think that after 10 minutes one would make a different choice. So it's really really difficult.

[Agbe]

Trusting my skill? I am not. I am more of sports betting and specifically football games. And football games are uncertainty. A team that won a trophy last year would be at the relegation line this year, and we use the previous games to predict the present and future games and since things are not predictable again, I don't trust my skills that that much on any team, even though they were doing well.

And people end up losing all their money there.

But this is where people are most vulnerable, they do not give money the importance it deserves, they behave irresponsibly and through this they lose everything.

A casino will try to take away from us most of the time, but we should try to withdraw what we have got.

When we try to get more, we will also lose it, and this is something we need to realize.
