Following the pros...

[freedomgo]

As I continue doing my research on how to win long term, I came across some info saying casual bettors usually make around 3–10 bets a day, while pros can go from 20 up to even 100 bets daily depending on their system and data.

So now I’m thinking maybe I’ll try to follow what the pros do and see what happens, just to test how much volume really matters in betting results.

How about you guys, do you also go for volume bets, or you belong more to the casual side and pick only a few plays per day?

Have you ever stopped to think that for pros, this is their job? If you want to become a pro, the first thing you have to do is become a casual long-term winner, and then, after some time, with a good bankroll, money saved, and having been able to withstand bad streaks, you can try to become a pro. It's not just about the volume of bets. Even though pros bet a higher volume, they research each bet more than a casual player does.

We can start small and go big, but remember that in gambling, you may not really be that casual or pro in it, what makes the difference lies in the results or achievements you have to show, therefore you should always think of this, because it's a game of luck and how knowledgeable you're in playing it, but your achievements over time goes a long way in telling if you're a casual or pro gambler as it may applies on you.

Is it gambling in casinos or betting like in sport like football betting?

Regardless of which one, I do not think 100 bets is possible in betting but still possible in casinos but I will not advise that at all for everyone.

Also regardless of which one, make sure you use small amount of money for it. Earning in gambling is very difficult and somehow should be considered impossible.

I get what you mean, but isn’t it logical to follow what the profitable bettors do? With volume betting, I also feel more relaxed like if I make 100 bets in a day and lose 50, it doesn’t really bother me much. But if I only make 2 bets a day and lose 1, there’s a big chance I’ll try to double my next bet just to recover. And if that one loses too, that’s when I start to lose control.

Not only this.  But a lot of pros lost more than they admit and have Credit Cards filled up to the edge.  Betting more may in fact be worse than betting less in some situations.  It is wise to stop betting if you are on a win streak because maths do not lie, statistically you will come closer to the chances in percentage the more bets you place.

But OP can try this out in a safe way.  If you bet 10 Dollars 10 times until now, lower the amount to 1 Dollar and roll 100 times.  Try it out a few days in a row.  See for your self, will it make you more?

The ones you consider as professional gamblers are basically experienced gamblers. They are  very experienced and have the ability to analyze data quickly. I even know many gamblers who are very experienced  in football and cricket. So many times they can give correct predictions without data analysis. This is mainly possible because of their  experience. Which will not be possible for gamblers like you and me.

I would say  you should be patient. What is the need to bet too much? I think you have not become experienced yet. So it is better for you to gamble less and less. As you gain experience gradually, you will also be able to bet 20+ daily.
However, I bet considering my financial  capacity. I do not believe in the idea that you have to bet a lot. It is possible to earn a large amount of money even by betting 3/4 times.

I don't believe in quantity but rather in quality, I can make a quality and have winning while someone who has voluminous bets still end up losing all without having an quality results or winning from his analysis. See, what I know is that if you give attention to few bets and do your analysis very well certainly there would be winning even thought your bets doesn't come 100 percent but at least you would be sure of 10-20 percent winning if you do your analysis carefully.

I am curious now.  Are these friends Rich?  If the answer is yes then how long have they been Rich for?  I know people who gamble 'professionally' and they show large wins but they never improved their living at all.  I do know some people prefer to sit in silence about their Wealth but knowing their personalities I doubt they would not show off at all and I rather think they are lying about their wins and success.

Why not treat it like research if you really want to experiment with paid options? Start with a small but consistent volume, record your results, ROI, and daily deviations. If your results remain positive after hundreds of bets, then scale up. Otherwise, you're only accelerating negative results, not increasing your chances.

With proper research on all games, volume bets could have some advantage since you are placing casting your nets is different areas. The shortcoming of placing up to 100 bets per day is that it might be time-consuming and stressful. Some proffessional gamblers see betting as a full time job, thus they spend all thier time and energy on analysing and predicting games. I dont think I have such spare time to put into gambling since I am enagaged in other things. For now, I am still a casual gambler who gamble more during weekends and holidays.

Bettors are all different. I bet once or two time in a week and on just one match or two matches. If I lost the match or matches, that is all for that week and it is during weekends.

You can give it a try but I see it like something that will take someone's time so much which is the reason I do not like it. There are some people that called themselves professionals that may not bet more than 1 or two times in a month but with high amount of money. All I know is that all strategies are risky because the bookies set the odds in a way that bettors will most likely lose money than win.

At the moment, I can only bet on a few matches, and not every day. There are issues with time and also the funds I allocate to be able to make that many bets. 
But I believe that those who have a fairly large amount of funds allocated for gambling can do it. Or starting with a small amount can also be done as a beginning. Let's say betting $1 on each bet. Making 20-50 bets would only spend $20-$50.

[joeperry]

Having 20-100 bets per day would consume you a lot of time especially in the research part, I think those professional bettors do already know or do their research first hand before the date comes and I think you can't do it manually. In reality, it's possible to place 100 bets daily but unlike pros possibly your chance of winning is low. I'm curious now about you following the pros, do you have a thread where you can show the result of your experiment? Also, do you have idea what's the winning rate of those pros?

You can follow them, but I don't think you should expect to get similar results... AFAIK, most pros who place a lot of bets rely on a small group of reliable bettors to share their information and picks ^{[IMO, this is the most efficient way, since each one of them focuses on a few games]}.

I just analyze as much matches as possible for the next day. Next day if odds are ok and nothing changes - bet all i can. And analyze next day.
Monday-Thursday i made mostly between 5-20 bets. On weekend it was much more. Twenty bets was a bad day, more often was about 50, sometimes 70.

PS. But it was really difficult for me. I tried to combine with the main job and i hadn`t time for anything except job and betting.

[giammangiato]

It certainly increases the chance of winning, but I personally can't afford to place all these bets, I have a very low weekly budget and the number of bets is clearly limited.
Following those who bet so much is not a good idea for those like me who don't have the financial means to take on all these bets.
I don't know I wouldn't follow this "strategy" no matter how profitable you think it might be it doesn't belong to me.

[Natalim]

100 bets a day? That sounds realistic only if you’re a full-time gambler. Most of us here still have jobs, so we can only spend a few hours capping the available games. If I tried doing 100, I’d probably just rely on gut feel, and I’m sure that wouldn’t end well, pros don’t do that. Maybe I’ll just start small and slowly increase. Who knows, if I actually succeed, maybe I’ll retire and go full-time as a sports bettor. 

[Sim_card]

Voluminous bet doesn't mean that you're a pro or it will increase your chance to make more money. Pros are rare to see in gambling so don't get it twisted because you might be on a mission to addiction. Have you thought about the consequences of gambling excessively. Gamble for fun and not for profits.

[palle11]

100 bets a day? for a pro?

I thought pros are people who are careful with the bets they place because they have to do analysis and research on the game that they are betting on. So what time is there for them to do their research especially in sports betting. But maybe this can be possible with casino games but however the game they go for, with 100 in a day means they don't have life outside betting.

So I don't believe pros will be able to place 100 bets a day on the average. I believe in results and not the volume of bets that the result won't really show that huge profit.
