I should (or I was) one of them. Just to mention the second place in "hall of fame" after many competitions...
Or in general, many of these competitions wins... or just closing each year in clear profit... I mean, many reasons and all tracked for years.....

I am just curious to know, what you want to know? I shared many times insight of this experience. I am not gambling anymore since years...
Sure, I can place some bet at the bookmaker near my house but only if Sinner is going to play

You have very interesting experience in running a forum thread with your bets. I remember a long time ago on special betting forums (not on BitcoinTalk) many people tried to run similar threads, some people did it simply as a public diary to analyze their bets and communicate with like-minded people, while others tried to sell their paid predictions this way. There is one thing to keep in mind when running such threads: someone can edit their post retroactively and change their prediction once the outcome is known. If the forum has an option that shows that a message has been edited, then such manipulations cannot be made. But even if there is no such option, there may always be readers of the thread who can take a screenshot of the published bet and, in case of manipulation by the thread starter, point it out to them.

After hearing such things it can make them join a paid prediction channels because they believe others to be an expert of predictions.

Gamblers who believe in paid prediction groups are probably bettors who are starting to feel anxious about their bad luck when placing bets on their own. They might try it and eventually realize that prediction groups only provide forecasts, with no guarantee that their predictions are accurate. I am confident that in the end they will also stop trusting prediction groups and rely on their own abilities again, because ultimately, they realize that winning and losing is a normal part of gambling.

I've never seen any bettor who consistently used a particular betting site or group for a long time and remained profitable during those period. Some either exit completely or search for other betting prediction sites that offer what they need. What this means is that prediction sites too cannot be relied on, all the success recorded are just luck. So whatever a bettor does; whether he uses his own knowledge or falls back to prediction sites for help, he should know when to change patterns because in gambling, no one pattern works well consistently for a long time.

It's not easy to see consistent profitable bettors on the long term, as far as you're always gambling the casinos will always win on the long run except you're extremely lucky. The question is how many bettors are that extremely lucky to be on profit for a very long time that will be greater than their loses? The answer is they are very few and from what I see most of the extreme lucky ones are not hear except they don't want to make it known. Perhaps if a bettor wins very big amount and decides to be using insignificant amount to be placing bets that is when they can remain profitable over loses

Everyone knows that in the long run the casino will win but they don't want to admit it. Most of those who say they win regularly are actually hiding their losses. The real big winners usually keep quiet or almost quit playing, I think the only sustainable way is to stop with big wins when you're lucky or keep playing for fun with very small amounts. The problem starts when you think of gambling as a source of income. Discipline, rather than skill makes the real difference here.

I notice there are a lot of sports bettors hanging around here, so I’m kinda curious if we actually have some long-term successful ones in this forum.
Not the lucky big win type, but the ones who really grind it and manage to stay profitable over months or years.

If you’re one of them, maybe you can share a bit of how you approach it. Thanks

Gambling is not like trafing or investment whereby one can be able to get profit on the long run . Gambling is very much unpredictable and their is no guarantee to winning, winning is never certain. 

Gambling is a game of luck, a very risky game that one should not think that their can be steady profit from it, because with a mentality like this it can mislead one to go into gambling just trying to make profit by all means and it results to so much loses which can even make one to even get addicted gambling. This is a mindset thst needs to be clear from the mind of every gambler.

The gambler loses when he needs to win. Again, he suddenly wins in an unexpected bet. If the gambler plans to do something with the money he gambles, he will definitely be confused. No gambler can be sure of winning his bet. Not only sports betting, there is no sure chance of winning in any type of gambling. If the gambler is prepared to lose and make good research, then he can do a little better. However, you will not find anyone in betting who is only in profit in the long run. Maybe the long-term loss of some gamblers is low, but it will certainly be very difficult to stay in profit.

Why do we keep looking for ways to make money?
While gambling is designed for entertainment, shouldn't we be looking for ways to enjoy it more? This is where our mindset is completely flawed. Gambling isn't designed to benefit its users, in fact, the opposite is true. That's why there are so many gambling sites today, as the gambling business is very profitable.

I don't believe it's possible to make money from gambling, especially in the long run. You can increase your profits in the long run, but you have to avoid regular betting and bet on a few select matches. For example - the strongest team of the season vs the weakest team, when the weakest teams play against the strongest teams in cricket. If you bet like this, you can definitely become a profitable gambler in the long run. But the profits won't be very much. What you make in 10 matches might go to 1 match.

Why they normally use different betting accounts is to compare the odds between each other before they conclude on the betting platform with bigger odds. Gamblers also change betting platform when the current one they are using is becoming boring, gamblers still change betting platform when they no longer receive free bonus points. Even when a gambler no longer win a bet from a particular gambling platforms they begin to think of changing it to a new one because they want to win.

Are you considering this gambling as your investment source? Or have you taken it as your career? If you are doing either of these then I would say you are walking on the wrong path. Gambling can never be considered as an investment source or a career for anyone. It can only be used for entertainment purposes. I think the answer to your question would be that sports betting is a matter where everything depends on luck and thats why I also think there there is high chances to lose every fund if they think there is good time in hands.

I think you are missing up the message here. The message is about prediction sites/groups and not actual gambling sites. What I and Pandu Geddon are driving at here is that these prediction sites who give or promise bettors sure gambling odds are not to be relied on. They do not have consistent edge and overall, majority of these paid prediction groups are just scammers profiting from the ignorance of bettors who patronize them.

this question is very realistic and timely. many people here share stories of big wins but very few talk about how often they lose or how they try to stay profitable consistently. winning big in one day through luck is easy but maintaining profit month after month or year after year is extremely difficult. those who succeed in the long term usually do not gamble with emotion. they set a clear budget in advance and never cross that limit. when they lose they accept it calmly and do not rush to recover losses. they are satisfied with small steady profits and repeatedly test the same strategies. the most important qualities are patience and self control. i believe the person who can control emotions and think realistically is the one who can survive and stay consistent in the long run.

There is no any gambler that has a winning consistency for long unless they are using a fake casino. What I have seen with many gamblers that claimed to have  a success rate, they do actually lose money and during those times, that's the time you may say uou want to join them. The consistent loss can discourage you but you should never quit if you have seen them win one or two game before because the day they are going to win, you will miss it.

One good thing about some gamblers that has good track record of win, you might not win immediately you join them but if you stick around and continue to bet what you can afford to lose, there is one game that you are going to win that is going to help you to recover the money you have spent gambling with  loss. You can actually make back that money in double fold. It's this that makes some gamblers to stick around even if they are losing for short term.

The problem starts when you think of gambling as a source of income. Discipline, rather than skill makes the real difference here.

If you see anyone boasting of how much they are winning with having little to no loss record, just know that the person is either promoting themselves for their own service or whatever reason they might have. There are times when you can win on a streak, but that does not mean the person doesn't experience any form of loss; they mostly just lie to themselves before others.

A gambler is only as good as his last bet...  I won my last bet, so I am a profitable gambler. 

I would hesitate to claim that I will win my next bet, but I am always willing to toss the dice and see where they land.

This would be less acceptable to gamblers who use their gambling as an additional income for their lives and this is always the case for those who use their daily living money to gamble.

This method is indeed a less ideal way but it cannot be denied that there are still a lot of gamblers who do this so that the fun and enjoyment of gambling is not considered from the start because the goal is to make a profit.
But this is the wrong way to look at gambling as a whole because in the end this condition should not happen because doing this is the same as we must be prepared that the level of addiction is getting bigger and the level of defeat is increasing.

That means that it depends on how you look how profitable you are as a gambler and I agree to this.

If you've won your most recent bets and you think that it's a profit for you without calculating the past losses you've made, you're profitable.

But if it's about overall calculation on how much we've made +/- then I guess that the most of us are still trying to recover from our losses.

the long run it might be difficult to make profit from sports betting but it is not impossible. out of a 100 percent of people that gambles only about 40 percent make profit from it or maybe even less than that, this is to tell you how difficult it is to.be in profit in the long run. Winning is not guaranteed but it is possible to always reduce the risks involved and practice risk management

The bitter truth about sport bet is that you can make huge winnings and still lose all the money to the casino gradually. This might not be something that will happen with a week but this might be interval of 3 months since you may not want to gamble aggressively again since you have made profit and want to give yourself time to resume gambling again.

That’s sad reality for most sports bettor with average sports analysis skills. There’s some bettor with good analysis skills that manage to be profitable by being consistent with their predictions and odds they are taking on each of their bet.

But they are very few and casino most likely decrease their limits to lessen their profitability since casino watch player profits in the long run.
