Junk bets

[centrum]

i usually do not play junk bets that much. the reason is you have to make quick decisions. for example a match is going on and the team that is likely to win gives a low payout while the other team might lose or might win and you have to bet in that situation. the risk is high there. most of the time i do sports betting by choosing the teams and players in advance and then placing the bet on the right team at the right time. sometimes i bet on a few teams together which is a multiple bet and that also has more risk. if you bet on 8 to 10 teams the possible return gets bigger with every extra team but the problem is if one team loses then everything is finished. that is why single matches are better. junk bets feel risky to me so i do not really play them.

Sports betting is unpredictable sometimes, reason I'm saying that is because you might be surprised that those junk bets end up being successful..I remember picking some games randomly just to use up a bonus I was given, I was tactical about my picks or anything I just selected big odds and it turned out that I made profit from it...it is okay to always analyse but you might be surprised that those junk bets can still be profitable

That's how it is mate. Your best efforts sometimes would be a waste of time because you will fail to win those bets. I had an experience with these junk bets that surprised me. These games were about starting and I had a few bucks to place these bets. Out of unseriousness, I just placed the bets and it turned out to be massive. Junk bets shouldnt be done constattly because gambling involves money so we need to take it serous. Assuming that junk bets will always bring wins is a wrong perception.   

Indeed and also addictive if you failed to control your emotions, there are so many instances that you might fall to that perception that you can win huge but most of the time, it will turned south and lead you to lose a lot, though luck always influence the outcome of you do have decent numbers of attempts and manage to wisely use your luck you may be able cash out decently after some good winning streaks.

It was two unlikely outcomes combined in one multi bet. Was it fun? Surely it was.

Congratulations on your win, it's truly amazing. Betting on live matches does offer a greater chance of winning because we can see and understand all the situations on the field. If we succeed or win, the satisfaction can be different from betting on previous matches, especially if the prediction is wrong or we lose due to previous match results, based on historical results, statistics, players playing, injuries, and so on. However, live betting will provide the actual outcome, and while there are sometimes unexpected events, the odds are often favorable.
Personally, I bet on live matches, previous matches, parlays, and also slot games.

Thanks, mate! Indeed, it was truly amazing. Actually, I rarely win my sports bets, because I aim at big multipliers, but when I win - I win good. I just made another junk bet, a combo with 5 legs:



This time they weren't the most unlikely outcomes. On the contrary, I think it is very likely that I'll win this multibet. I also placed this bet



not because I think it is very likely, but bc the multiplier for that outcome is disproportionately high, in my opinion.

By the way, there are currently a lot of international friendly matches being played ahead of the World Cup. Do you think these matches should be taken seriously for betting purposes, or are they essentially pointless and even risky to bet on?

For example, France losing to Ivory Coast, Spain drawing with Iraq despite being a clear favorite, or the Netherlands playing against Algeria, and so on. In many of these games, the stronger team clearly had the advantage on paper but still failed to deliver the expected result.

In my opinion, it is better to avoid betting on these matches and wait for the World Cup to begin. Friendly matches are exactly the kind of bets I would consider low quality and unreliable.

The only time I'll place a junk bet is if I have a free bet on the verge of expiring.
Sometimes the only options are smaller football leagues; half the time I've never even heard of the teams.

Personally, I would never bet on a friendly match because I believe the teams' main goal in such matches is simply warming up and getting ready. During these warm-ups, the main goal is to avoid injury, which could hinder their performance in the main match. In any case, even if you do bet on such matches, it's sometimes better to bet on the underdogs, because they're more likely to win in such friendly matches than in World Cup matches. You can even base your strategy on this, but it's not guaranteed to be successful.

Those matches are not to be taken seriously, if you want to bet, that's your choice bros. I myself don't want to risk my money on those friendly matches considering that the world cup is just a few days away. Different from my choice, some of my bros have already made a profit from betting on those friendly matches, they said that friendly matches are easy to predict.

I usually place a few bets a week that I choose in advance. These are usually singles or two-event pairings, and these bets have a very high success rate.

However, during the day, I might decide to place one or two more bets. These are bets I choose during the game day, and I call these junk bets. These are bets I place without in-depth analysis, simply acting on the situation, and the success rate of these bets is frankly low, and sometimes I find it difficult to restrain myself from making such bets, because they seem good to me too.

How does it work for you? Do you feel like if you focused on just a few bets a week, you'd have much better results?

Yes, I focus more on bets that I've thoroughly analyzed. But like you, I also have a desire to continue gambling even after placing a bet. My curiosity seems endless. What I usually do is exit the gambling site immediately and find something else to do. For me, my remaining assets or capital are more important than my curiosity. I'm sure you can overcome your urge to continue gambling.

[libert19]

I never do in-depth analysis to begin with (if I do, I am certain of myself I would be complicating things than they should be), I always let knowledge work itself out and make bets spontaneously, so you could say, I am always making junk bets — sometimes this bets work out, sometimes don't; I make bets to add spice to the game, don't care for results much, though winning is appreciated obviously.

Most people do feel that chasing for another win is more better than the one they have at hand, because they feel after winning in streak, they can keep winning if they continue trying and this makes them to lose their guard and become addicted, as their emotions decides for them and to prevent damage from happening, they had to shut out every thought that won't be helpful to them and defending negative impact is the best way of beating gambling from being in control of you.

[passwordnow]

I am not counting my bets per week. Whatever is there to bet for my favorite games and teams, I'll bet on them without counting. My rule is simple, to bet only what I can afford and not to be hasty with all of these bets. I do a bit of analysis before doing it and if it turns out that I lose and I am wrong, that's okay. At least I've done whatever I can before placing that bet of mine before losing it.

It depends on your definition of taken it seriously. For me, I have placed a bet on one of them and one can consider these matches as means those countries are trying to test their skills and warm up to some degree. One can still look at the game and try to bet on them, even when you have the players who might not take the game as seriously as it should, but it's not entirely that useless, but it's your choice to choose anyway.

Money you can save is being wasted on junk bets. Why are you placing bets if you know the success rate is frankly low. If you know they are junk bets you can do other things in the day. You waste your time placing junk bets with a low success rate without making analysis. Why throw your money at losing. If all bets are junk bets.

You are not alone but its good that you can control your urge instead of it control it, as some gamblers do and some of them said it but don't finds it difficult to act on their words. Urges don't disappear but one can just handle it and handling it well keeps your mindset safe and easy to overcome addiction because everytime you choose doing the right thing than to feed your curiosity negatively trains your brain, as they can push back whenever they are struggling with their emotions.

[Crypto_Timothy]

I think the few bets you make are the what most people would call gambling addiction and like you said it is difficult to restrain yourself from making sure bets and that is exactly the problem itself, those bets you make a week in advance you can still lose them but im pretty sure before you made those bets you did your analysis and most importantly you were conscious of losing your money but still made the bet but you see the ones you did out of addiction, those ones the money you lose is not well calculated, you might think you have calculated it but then thats the extra drive, you see big money as less because you have had access to a lot bigger ones instantly.

My advice, if you choose, you are already halfway there, you are conscious enough to know your betting habit and admitting the truth to yourself, now the plan would be to reduce your impulse betting, obviously it is going to be difficult but more or less that the whole point, isnt it? if it were easy "gambling addiction" wouldnt be a problem globally, so yea.

One reason why many gamblers can no longer control their urge anymore when it comes to gamble is because of their past mistakes which is desperation. Desperation has caused a lot of harm in the lives of many gamblers that is why they are currently addicted to gamble today.
Emotional control is also important in the lives of many gamblers, because emotion can do more harm than good while gambling, if a gambler can not control his emotion it's also obvious that they can't control the urge of gamble too.

After winning a few times in gambling the gambler's confidence increases several times the gambler becomes overconfident and from here the destruction begins. It is not right to be overconfident in betting by using research or strategies because research or strategies do not always work properly to win because the results of gambling are unpredictable and depend on luck, so it is not right to be overconfident in betting as a result of which one will have to suffer financial losses and the possibility of addiction increases. Gambling is better to play only for entertainment, it is not right to choose gambling to make quick money.

For me though, I think regardless of how much bets you place in a week your faith would still be the same. The only thing a fewer bets would help you to archive is managing your bankroll. Like I normally will tell people, your bankroll is the most important asset in your gambling life. You should make sure you protect it at all cost and avoid anything that could put your bank roll at risk of losses. So that's why fewer bets do. It also helps keep your mindset in check and make you go through proper calculations before taking certain bets. You can do so many analysis in a week and only few would play out. You could still do a few analysis in a week and non would play out as planned. That's just how gambling is, there's no guarantee anything would work..

[hyudien]

Sometimes I do this kind of rubbish betting when the bets that I analyzed earnestly have disappointing results, and I do it when I really have excess money or bonus tickets from the casino. Sometimes it works out even if the bet is just based on instinct, even occasionally betting on teams from minor leagues that I've never watched a game of.

You waste your time placing junk bets with a low success rate without making analysis. Why throw your money at losing. If all bets are junk bets.

And is there any game out there whose winning rate is 100% possible? I doubt that. I don't see what the op is doing as a waste of money as long as he enjoys doing it and knows his limit, then it's his own way of gambling. After all, you can still spend the whole week analysing games which will end up losing. What's the point? You can still take chances when you see some games you consider worth your money and stake them.
