Would meeting a profitable sports bettor change your mind?

[Cantsay]

And if you already believe it’s possible, would that motivate you to seriously try the same path and aim for real profitability, not just casual betting?

Simple question, curious to hear honest answers.

If the person or bettor is willing to share codes with me each time he places a bet then I would be willing to change my mindset about the whole gambling being luck based and that bettors can win the house. This is because just meeting a profitable sport bettor and knowing that it’s possible to win won’t automatically mean that I will start winning, if after several years of gambling and still can’t get consistent win why then would I just change my mind after meeting someone who did what I have been chasing for years?

Unless he agrees to either teach me what he watches out for or just wants to keep sending me his betting codes I’m not changing my mind or probably I’ll change my mind but still won’t chase it or be motivated to do more than I’m already doing because I’ll only just end up blowing my money away without getting anything done.

Not really, I don't judge my won results based on someone else's results because we are cannot have the same experience even with the use of strategies winning is still not guaranteed.  The so called profitable gambler might just be going through a winning streak or winning phase, this doesn't mean that it can make me change my mind about what I already know about sports betting. some people feel invincible whenever they are winning but they forget that losses can come at anytime.Those that are profitable have a system they use to achieve success in betting

[Perfectbaby]

To be open, I must say that gambling is all about luck and how often you are that good with your analysis while gambling, thorough forecast and good analysis could increase the profitability in gambling, and whereas not that basing in luck because you can't just picked any game at random and stake on it with the hope to win without you making sound analysis to know whom to win or whom to lose the match, and when you are that sound with that you could be that sure of winning. Again, when meeting someone who is that sound it would also increases the chances of winning for long term if only that person is that good most of the leagues and predictions.

I think it all depends on how he does it, which means he has his own method, and I believe any method still carries risks. As far as I know, all gambling strategies have risks, for example the Martingale strategy, which is said to be a pretty good method for recovering from losses, but I also think it has risks, and it is possible that at some point we will experience losses or run out of bankroll. So, I don't think any strategy can necessarily change my mind; luck or bad luck will always be present in gambling moments. By the way, I still believe that there are people who can win consistently at sports betting, but I don't believe that there are people who can win consistently at slot games, or any other random game (which is the probability is difficult to calculate).

Well If I see someone gambling and his profitable in winning consistently than the way I ever emagined or thought, I will not see it as luck since his theory has beating mine, all I will do is to calm and follow such person to see if actually gambling is by luck or by skill or knowledge.

Of course everyone is trying to Gamble and be profitable in a long run, and if that happens everyone will not hesitate to try it out. Afterall no one can be Left behind in the table of success, Everyone is looking upto a better and profitable opportunity.

How long can be be consistent overtime, that person must be addicted to gambling and later , he will lose all he has won from gambling. Gambling isn't a means to make profits which is the main reason why if you're lucky to hit the jackpot, you invest the money. I wouldn't learn anything from him because the chance of winning is not guaranteed.

[Maslate]

Maybe if you're still a newbie in gambling, your mind will definitely change after hearing a profitable sports bettor. But if you have been gambling for years, surely you have developed your own stance on it and believe on your own based on what you think is right for you.

However, since I'm also a sports bettor, I have also good background about it. And all I can say, sports betting is really profitable if you know the game well, and if you have good experience on playing the game, that increases the chances of winning your bet. Otherwise, if you have no real idea on what you are betting, you will just waste your money and lose in the long run.

I think you already know the answer when faced with a position like that, a position where you recognize someone who continues to experience profits in their bets, you are a failure in betting then it would be very stupid for you not to ask how to get profits from betting to that person, it is very hypocritical if you do not want to learn, everyone's answer will be the same as yours, they will learn from that person including me.

With the knowledge that sport betting can't be won on consistent basis have build that acceptance that any one who claim to be winning in sport bet and on a profits margin consistently is not telling the truth behind his income, he may be using sport betting as cover up but have the real thing generating that steady income that he claimed to get from sport betting.

I believe that sports betting is profitable but what works for someone that is winning consistently might not work for the next person because sports betting isn't just about luck but it's also about knowledge so I really don't advice anyone to go into sports betting just because they see another person doing well in it as it requires prediction intelligence. I have been sports betting for a long time now and I must say that it isn't just something anyone would like to get involved with just because others are getting results from it, start betting casually first to become a professional before you aim for profit.

i wouldn’t want to pop his bubble it clearly works for him so i won’t discourage him but i also wouldn’t want to try it myself just to end up disappointed at the end

There’s nothing wrong with trying as long as you’re not blindly following anyone.
The smart thing to do is to test whether the method is actually profitable.

You can start with the minimum bets and test it for months to see if there’s real consistency. If it works, then that’s the time you slowly scale up and go bigger.

it is important to do your own research before you start thinking that someone else's strategy is authentic...somw gamblers are just to quick to believing someone else's strategy not knowing whether it actually works or not..I believe that everyone has a strategy that is unique to them, as someone that has been in the system for a while I always prefer to make use of my gambling strategies alone

You don't need a profitable bettor to tell you that winning is not all about strategy, it is possible that the bettor that you want to emulate is going through a winning phase. Maybe the bettor has been on a losing streak for sometime without your knowledge so without knowing a bettor's story you shouldn't conclude that it is just winnings all the way. If you have experience in gambling you will know that you don't need another bettor to tell you or convince you that luck has a lot to play in gambling, you don't need another bettor's luck to determine that you can be lucky like them.

If I met someone like that, it would trigger my interest on understanding what he has been doing in order to turn gambling into a profitable activity on long term. I won't say it would change my mind without understanding first how it has been working for real. Maybe he isn't gambling for too long, while being lucky so far, what is in fact the most likely scenario.

Or maybe he isn't really profiting from the bets he places, rather he is making profit from referrals or by working for the casino somehow, including sponsor from the casino to launch positive propagandas about the service on the internet.

I wouldn't learn anything from him because the chance of winning is not guaranteed.

I wouldn't say the person is addicted because they are winning constantly, but what I will just say is that the person is just being luckier than everyone else, and since we don't know how long the luck can last for him or her, it's better that the winnings are just celebrated than for anyone to try to copy him, as that will only end up leading the person into losing in a disastrous way because of how they will upgrade their confidence level.

I'll believe and be more optimistic at the same time, but come to think of it, everyone has his own personal abilities and competences that could bring luck to him at his own designated time, but I will also put in that in gambling, we often lose than winning, so there shouldn't come an extra expectations for winning regardless of meeting someone in such positions, moreover, am not still convinced to that extent a gambler could win on a streak continuously on a long range without winning a jackpot.

The thread pertains to a profitable sports bettor not an affiliate commission earners.

User like this doesn’t share their strategy to others since they want to capitalize on it while working or else sportsbook will find a way to restrict their method just like the arbitrage betting which is a legitimate betting strategy yet not allowed by the casino.

On this situation, if you find one and share his secret then I believe studying his strategy is the right move because it’s a rare opportunity.

I know one profitable sports bettor... he is a lonely guy, and he has all the time in the world to watch games, follow news, and spend all his free time discussing sports like it's the only important thing in the world. It's not the path I would take.

It's better to keep it casual and have free time (and some money) for other things in life. Don't make gambling or sports betting the main thing, even if you are having a good streak.

[Mhizlove]

In my case, I already believe it’s possible to be profitable in sports betting, even though I haven’t personally met someone who can actually prove they’re profitable. Most of what convinced me came from watching videos and reading articles, and that was enough for me to believe it can be done.

I’m actually trying it now. You can check my thread and see my record for yourself.

I’m not profitable yet, but I’m not losing either, and for me that’s already a good start.

Your point is good, the fact that you watched videos, you took your time on research making and again you believe that profit will come,this shows that you're not betting just for fun.

The actual thing is that you've started and tracking how the results will turn out to be is a big move, even though you haven't seen profit yet, seeing the breakthrough is a good sign and that means that you have discipline and control, and that's the hardest decision to make.later you can add up with learning and consistency because that too will help you with time.

[Umulala-alala]

Every bettors or gamblers always have method of betting that makes win or work for them sometimes because i don't believe there is anybody who will actually be winning consistently in a long run. Gambling doesn't guarantee success but bettors win games not only by luck but there experience in selecting games to gamble on, i have a method of gambling so if i decide to paused at a moment i can't be convinced by a profitable sports bettor to change my mind when i have not decided also to start gambling.

Indeed, different gamblers have different perspectives and opinions about this, and like what you said if you have your own way and you meet someone who have that capability to earn from their gambling activities, it doesn't mean that you can do the same thing or you will have the same outcome if you change your way or if you follow whatever details that the person will share to you, it's up to your judgement and the luck that may back you up whenever you place your bets.
