Would you really put time and effort into studying sports betting?

[crwth]

It depends on what bet I'm willing to take because most of the time I would feel like I would waste time on it unless it's a big bet. Part of it is mood, and part is feeling. It's not always going to be perfect, that's the first thing that people should accept. There is a possibility of loss, and if you accept that, it would be okay to study.

If I were mainly gambling on luck, I would just rather play slots and not analyze much in sports betting. There are also tools and technology to help you analyze bets with machine-learning models to help decide or lessen the effort.

The most important thing for me is to make sure that I have risk management with gambling. I wouldn't want to push too much and be tilted if I lose continuously.

If you truly believe it’s possible to succeed in the long run, then you already know there’s no such thing as overnight success here. It takes time, discipline, and a lot of losing before you even start figuring things out.

So the real question is, would you actually study it, track bets, manage bankroll, learn odds and lines?
Or do you think it’s all a waste of time because, in the end, most of us still lose anyway?

There's a reason people differentiate between:

- games that depend exclusively on luck to have a winner

- games that depend exclusively on skill to have a winner

And what makes this difference is precisely the fact that in games that depend on skill, people are able to: analyze the game and guess correctly based on their analysis. Therefore, if no one analyzed games that depend on skill, then that person would be looking at a game that depends on skill as if it were a game that depends on luck. And at that point, that person is constantly losing money.

It still pays to know something about sports that you intend to bet on, rather than just picking and following people and leaving your money in their hands. There's no excitement in doing this, and no future reward; it just shows you aren't really interested in the sports or an avid fan.
If you're going to bet on sports, you have to at least get to know how the sports work and what makes a team great and beatable.
This is not a casino game where you leave your fate to chance; you have a chance to win, so better grab the opportunity to learn and win.

Leaning all these things you mentioned doesn't take too much time. I don't need to sit down and start leaning about sports betting. Some of these skills are developed through practice. I don't take gambling as a serious business that will make me give it so much time. Sports analysis and tracking bets are now very easy with advanced tools online. So it's no longer a big deal. I see gambling mainly for entertainment, hence it doesn't deserve much of my time.

[Tmoonz]

Analyzing games requires time. If you have that time, as well as the ability and skills to do it properly, it’s quite possible to stay in a good profit. But if you approach it casually and without focus, the result will most likely be disappointing. This is something that requires deep involvement and time investment, and even then it’s hard to say how satisfying the outcome will be. Personally, I prefer to place bets for entertainment, to make watching a game more interesting. I believe there are more reliable and less risky ways to earn money, so gambling is better viewed as entertainment rather than a strategy for making money.

If anyone have all the time and efforts to put in their gambling activities there is nothing wrong in doing this provided they are not doing it as if their overall life depends on it, no doubt about how putting your time and efforts can increase chances of winning yet it gives no guarantee of winning at the long run and why you have to do it if you have such free time to invest in it, if gambling where to be something that serious I believe it would have been included in academic calendar as part of a course to study in schools, there are other things people can invest their time and efforts and it will become profitable, gambling should just be for fun.

[TheUltraElite]

You can obviously spend time on studying the games, the teams and how these teams have fared over the years. However, the end result will not vary much, this is because the luck factor comes into play and it ruins the entire study in the background. Games can turn bad at any instant and it is more of a 50-50 thing in the end.

You can try doing all the analysis and placing bets accordingly and see how much you are faring, but it will tend to the center 50% only.

Still people will prefer for doing the analysis and then placing bet, but if this math works it, it would mean that even if you dont analyze it will come to 50% only.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

No effort put in sports is waste all depends on individual, sports generally is lucrative and capable of changing those that engaged on it positively though it's negative part could be there, every wise gambler to succeed in consistent wining Their exposure and knowledge help a lot all of this can't do without time to gather knowledge or experience on really need give attention. Some gambler failure is anchor on poor knowledge and poor analysis towards the game as a result of not properly given the required time, if one have all it takes before gambling time should be put in place to consider all possibility and all impossility towards a game one intended to stake.

It is good to study to have knowledge, but this does not guarantee a win in gambling, so there is no need to do this with the intention of making money by all means.

In gambling, it is good to take your time; you are putting your best into betting, but all this doesn’t really guarantee that one must win in gambling, so there is no need to be serious about it. If the interest in doing this is to enjoy the game and have fun, then very good; it is better than just gambling blindly.

Do you believe that someone that put in much work in gambling in terms of making sure that he or she gives himself a reason why he will be selecting a match with his preferred option won't be expecting much I returns will you agree, mate the has to be told, if you give much of time to analyze games before staking them, your expectations will be high, I think people should be put through how to gamble, no matter how we say it, many gamblers are into it fully, they gamble for a living, to them, every game has to end on their favour in terms of what they predicted, they don't like to hear about that reality the reality that surrounds gambling, yea gambling is primarily for fun but how many people can sincerely say they do it for fun.

[Dunamisx]

From my own advice, which I will give, it is better that we know about sports betting before we start gambling. This will help us to be well familiar with it and know how everything works with sports activities and gambling in general before we start at all.

There's nothing bad when we decided to study how to place sport bet because we are preparing ourselves for what is ahead of us as a task to play, you can't afford to do things the wrong way, but when we have a preset mind towards what should be expected, we are going to work in line to the common goal of what sport betting is all about and enjoying gambling with more better experience.

[bakasabo]

I would go from a different way. I would study sports because I love it, because I like to watch and maybe wanted to be part of it. The knowledge will help me to better understand world of that sport, predict which events I should not miss, and which I can skip and read about results later. And to all that, betting would be only an addition to spicy my interest into watching it. I would not use knowledge to make better prediction, but I would use gambling to make game special.

I dont believe that knowledge would really help in making predictions. Take sport coaches for example. They know everything about sport. For instance, football coaches would the most rich people if knowledge of sports would really help.

It takes a lot of losing before one can eventually win? that looks like a thought process that is capable of fueling constant loss all because you think you are still trying to understand how gambling works. even after you have stayed long involved in gambling, there's no guarantee that a consistent loss will eventually lead to a win.

As much as you can, it is necessary that you minimize loss to the lowest minimum be it that you are just getting started or that you have been in the system for long. the place of putting time and effort into gambling comes from times of research and carrying out analysis which is actually a good one that also helps minimize risk.

Only do a small analysis that is generally done by those who make sports bets. To be very focused when making bets, I didn't. It must take a lot of time, if on weekends it is possible to do it. But for weekdays, I can only use my rest time to make a bet with a short analysis.
Some gamblers are indeed very serious, taking quite a bit of time to analyze when making bets. But the time spent should also count as something we are risking.

[Wapfika]

I’d rather focus on my job rather than dedicate my time on my prediction quality on sports betting because no matter how good I am there’s a lot pf variable factor that can’t be determined that will give huge impact on the game outcome.

Sports betting or gambling is just a way to get some fun on my leisure time. I don’t want to use it like a big deal or get serious on it because that will remove the enjoyment on my side.

The more relax I bet the more I enjoy.

[MainIbem]

Does being successful means that I'll never lose at bet? If no then there's no need studying something that won't guarantee that i won't lose cause my tome is very precious to be wasted on it then at the end I'll still lose, gambling is a game of luck and not something one should depend on for income, moreover studying could mean that you want to take it very seriously like a job or so which I don't advice anyto do such.

I don't agree on the importance of personal curiosity and research, plus experience, being a good way to help a sportsbettor have a better chance of winning more frequently than the one who doesn't, because you all said so, but I am agreeing because, I stand a live testimony of how it actually makes you better at sports betting.

For a while sometime back, I stopped sportsbetting because my friends stopped assisting me with codes or games to bet on, not even that I won from what they were sending me anyways, I just got curious and did some analysis and more importantly, compared my old betslips on the platform I use. I noticed how what I meant for a particular result of a particular match, never happened because I made the wrong pick always and this was a major reason I failed.
I focused on learning the terms and how to pick my odds. My chances of winning more frequently definitely improved till date and I get more cash outs and near misses more than when I was reliant on someone's brain work.

For me personally managing capital and studying opportunities is mandatory for me to learn, although it does not mean that we will 100% win the bet but it will be a personal need that is actively involved in gambling. To be honest, it's not all about winning but you will learn a lot so that every decision makes more sense based on knowledge. I am very open to such knowledge things, rather than betting blindly without considering the risk comparison.

[Somto9Light]

For me, I won’t lie, I don’t think I would want to give my time studying gambling.. Fully knowing well that even though I am able to know everything about gambling, I wouldn’t still have a proper edge over it, the house still wins.. I don’t know for you’ll, but that’s just what I feel..
I would rather give those time to something else, building on it. Because I know I can’t get that consistent win off gambling even if I invested a lot of time in it..

What is there to study?

I can only spend my time in studying if I know that after that I will be giving a guarantee, but since gambling is not like that so there will be no need for me to study gambling. The only thing which I know is required is just  knowing the right option to give to a particular team that's knowing how to place a bet very well, if you can be able to know all of this then you just have to leave the rest for luck because he's the one to determine if you will win or not so whoever that thinks that they can actually win if they study more about gambling is just wasting his or her time.

[Shinpako09]

Tbh, no. I’ll just leave it to luck. You really need skills in sports betting, but let’s be real, it doesn’t guarantee anything because, at the end of the day, you still need luck. Every game is not the same. Teams can perform differently every time. For example, the Pacers won against the Thunder. The Thunder is currently the best team in the league but was beaten by one of the worst teams, at least at the time of writing. Stats alone can’t figure everything out. That’s why, in the end, as long as it’s gambling related, you still need luck.

[Findingnemo]

I am someone who believes that still luck plays a part when it comes to winning the bet, so no matter how expert you become in a particular sport you will never be assured that you will win all the bets.

And I will never pick gambling as a source of my income, I know I am not a lucky dude.
