Consistency can ruin or make you profit in sports betting.

I just want to ask, is he actually paying money just to be in that group and get tips? If yes, then I honestly feel like he’s being scammed, and it won’t end well. The best way to minimize the damage is to leave the group now and start learning on his own.

Sports betting isn’t that hard to learn. Being profitable is the hard part. But it’s still better to build your own understanding than to trust others, especially those who are very loud and keep guaranteeing wins. That kind of talk already screams scam.

Something happened a few days ago. My friend joined a group where sports betting code is sent now and then, but whenever he chooses to bet, the game dont go in profit, while whenever he decides to pause, people win in the group. He then decided to be consistent. While being consistent, he had a series of losses from that same group, until he decided to stop gambling completely, only to see the recent code keep turning out to be a win.

Should he stay consistent or quit after so much frustration?

It's more on his luck I guess, I experienced it before wherein when I will bet I will get a big L. But when I stop all the tips are hit. Maybe you really need to be consistent, or just your luck is not your side as the timing is off.

So just try and bet and follow the tip, sooner or later your luck might change and who knows, you might hit a lucky streak. And this is the very essence of gambling though, we bet on the unknown, we don't know the result until we put a stake on it and see the outcome.

It would have been a breeze experience if he ain't pursuing something, same thing that most gamblers do, if he has been gambling for fun only he will only need to keep risking small money every time and he will win once in a while, because believe me even after all the signals you will still lose money, this is why I don't waste time joining any gambling groups for anything.

If only gambling groups can make you win more and lose less but from my past experience it makes no difference from me doing all the callings myself, some even charges for high amount of money, I believe it is not worthy joining a premium gambling groups, this is something that you can do yourself and it's all centred around luck.

[Plaguedeath]

I see you're draw a conclusion only based on financial, if you see someone loss in gambling, you see gambling ruin them, while if they're in profit, you see gambling as a good thing. Ruin is an incorrect word here, gambling was supposed to be something that can make you happy regardless the result is loss or profit.

I think that group is operated by many alt accounts, they don't have any analysis and only throw random guess to the group. Then they will post with other account that looks like a "customer", but it was actually the owner and he post if he won the match by photoshopped the picture.

All these groups are scam, they make use of luck to try to scam people. The scam is no more new since many years ago but many people especially newbies are still thinking it is real but it is just a scam. In gambling and trading, do not believe something like this, just a kind of scam. So tell your friends that, they should avoid these scammers.

[Kelward]

I think your friend is just unlucky since he has not gotten a win from the codes that are shared in the group, when he's involved there will be no win but when he doesn't there'll be a win. I think it's coincidence that he hasn't been lucky in the group, he can choose to continue or he can change strategy and rely on his own analysis, hopefully his luck can change. Never fully rely on anybody's predictions in gambling, whatever they come up with is their own predictions, nothing is certain to give 100% surety. It is not a problem to be consistent in gambling so far you are gambling responsibly with amount that you can afford to loose that is what matters.

[danherbias07]

They call it a signal.

Whoever believes this is a fool, or he is doing an inside job. Does your friend really have a connection within the sport that he is betting on? I think he is just relying on a stranger's prediction, and there's a chance it was fooling him, so that he will lose more and maybe try to sign up and pay for the real action.

But the truth remains that those giving signals can just be a regular person who is just playing a guessing game. If he predicts it right, good. If he predicts it wrong, sorry, let's try again.
The problem is, the gambler won't have any choice because he already paid for the service.

What's the point of staying consistent when he has chosen to quit gambling completely?

The thing is most people failed to understand that wining doesn't happen often in gamble, if I'm in such group what I will be doing is to follow the code whenever it's drop but I'm going to reduce my stake so as my bankroll won't run dry easily, I guess the reason why your friend was missing out is because he usually go with high stake so it could be that he must have exhaust his bankroll which is why he was unable to go the following days. Well in my opinion I would say that since he has already quitted from gamble he should stick to it to avoid inviting more problems to himself.

[Gozie51]

Should he stay consistent or quit after so much frustration?

That is not frustration. He should understand that he should be ready for such if he wants to gamble. It is not a straight way think that you must gamble and win. Gambling is chance base and he shouldn't worry himself when he didn't bet and others who bet get to win. It is his mind that is playing fast one on him. The decision is on him what he wants to bet and he should take the outcome the way it comes, there is nothing wrong and what he observe is just the way gambling is.

However, my advise is that he is feeling that way because he is in a group that he paid money to and feels cheated or manipulated because he losses. If he was making his picks by himself, he won't feel that way. So he need to exit the group and continue with his own analysis which he will be responsible for. To use signal groups is not a guarantee to winning in gambling.

DYOR and gamble responsibly.

Is there a curse or he's just being unlucky... Just kidding though.
Well, I think gambling, or following people's odds might not just be for him, so he needs to quit. Wasting money when his intentions were never to gamble for fun is already enough reason to pull out and try other things. This is not a case where he needs to exercise patience. As long as he's not gambling for fun, then there is no need to keep giving up free money to the casino or betting platform.

But come to think of it, are these people who drop betting codes legit?, Because AFAIK, sport betting outcomes, especially in football, is usually determined by the players in action. I don't think there is a guarantee that every single code given would eventually turn out as predicted. I clearly don't even see why he's getting frustrated because he clearly chose to take a risk by following other people's predictions.

Gambling in it's own is risky... And following people's prediction is even more risky, so I think he's taking double risk.

Why not do your own analysis and betting? Instead of trusting the predictions of others in a group he follows, where the results are mostly losses rather than wins. 
Your friend follows a group that does not provide accurate signals, so why keep following that group? 
Your friend has knowledge about betting, and he should try it himself to see how lucky he is with his own bets, rather than relying on the group's predictions.

[joeperry]

First of all, I think only few groups or services are profitable so before joining that kind of group (I assume it's paid), it's better to check the history or its performance. It's true that it's not always winning based on previous groups I joined before, and you will see the total profit in long term, which what they actually market and honestly, that's true, you can't just bet 1-2 and be on profit or they could give you a sure win bets but with the odds of 1.2 and below. So I think consistency in bets in sports betting is profitable, maybe try to make a minimum bets maybe around $1-3 dollars for each code they give, you can try to experiment, or probably don't bet and just list it in excel and try to track down if the codes given were really profitable or not.

It's a matter of choice. It's his money, he has the right to use it the way he wants. Your friend should also know that having a long losing streak is normal in gambling. Maybe he is not lucky in using the prediction platform, since others are winning and he is not. I don't depend on prediction channels to place bets. I use them when I don't have the time to do an analysis or to cross-check my games. If your friend thinks that the channel could be helpful, let him be consistent.

He can still try again, but with the note that he should never take betting advice from other people. Gambling with your own choices feels more fun because we test our beliefs in a match. I'm surprised to see people out there who believe other people's advice.

[Sammye3]

I've being in similar situations as well but I was wise enough to stop because most of these telegram or Whatsapp betting groups are scams that most people fall for only to lose all the time. In most cases, these groups are locked and you are asked to pay to get a sure odd,after that you would see them post a winning ticket to the group which they never sold to you and the game you bought ends up failing.

People in the group would think it's actually a win, but only those who actually bought would realize it's all a scam. They would do a little giveaway to bring more newbies into the group and same cycle goes on an on. It's a really manipulative strategy that many people would fall for but never again would I fall for such cheap scam.

So it's safe to beware of such scams, your friend should be happy he actually decided to stop. He could have incurred more losses than he already did and maybe he would have being tempted to borrow just to chase those losses, which would have being a lot worse.

It is worth significantly changing your strategy. The problem is that he looks at the results of others and relies solely on luck. What if you study the future game yourself, don't wait for the code, and act independently? And secondly, who told him that he would always win? There will also be losses, and they must be accepted with dignity.

First ask yourself, can an experience like this be a coincidence? If I was in his shoes, I will try to find out what exactly is happening, it not ordinary that games I choose to bet on end up losing, and the days I decide not to bet, fellow bettors end up winning.
And even when I decided to bet on every game that was posted, games turn out to start losing and just when I became frustrated and stopped betting, fellow bettors start winning again, this to me looks like there is something seriously wrong somewhere and needs to be addressed.

Anyways, one thing is, if gambling/betting isn't working for him, he can simply quit and move on to other activities that is working or will work for him, for like I will always say, gambling, betting is an activity that is available to everybody but not meant for everybody..

If it is the same code for everyone then he should be consistent. However as I have already pointed out in other threads is that the groups in Telegram send a different game to many different users and one game at least ends up a win so some people keep believing while they should not believe, it is a scam going on from years now especially in such groups. So better check with your friend if the same code is sent to everyone in the group and it is not a scamming scheme. If he can verify that the group is genuine and the same code is sent to everyone then it means that the only thing needed from your friend is consistency as his time will come.

Your friend have serious problem on timing on riding the right call. I believe he should analyze first what’s the overall stats of the call being dropped on the group before he start committing on being consistent betting on all those call.

It’s not worth it to follow if the winning percentage is low. I’d rather DIY on finding the right bet through my own analysis instead of relying to others that result to more lose when I follow.

How sure are you that those in that group are not a network of scammers although giving codes to group for a few is always a scam, and the best way to go with sport betting is to at least have your own analysis of the game's and not just betting blindly based on another person own predictions without you even checking.
