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

[|MINER|]

That's a good point, but success is guaranteed even if you are skilled enough to make profit from betting, most times after doing proper analysis before betting the teams might make mistakes or there might be some changes that might alter the outcome of the game. I don't really put in much expectations just because I'm good at analyzing, you still need luck even with the application of knowledge.

Actually, here I will say that even if a person no matter how skillful in the analysis on sport betting he is, but at the last time in every match the result decided by the luck because in some cases we have seen that the underdog beats the strong opponent team. So even in some cases we win by the analysis but we shouldn't get over confident and always keep the risk factors in mind and spend as much as we can afford to lose. Other wise this will not gonna entertain you rather it will give you mental pressure.

Yea, I will say it is a waste of time because gambling is not reliable. I will put that energy into learning trading and investment skills; something more relevant than gambling.

You sees it as a waste of time because you aren't using it for survival, nor have you gotten any friends or relatives who survive off gambling, and I doubt you don't. If you come across such player, you'll notice the time and effort they spent in gambling doesn't go waste but profitable and productive.

I know everything is business, risk and profit or risk and loss, so if they could consider risking their time and energy into studying and analysing sport betting for their survival, I won't it as a waste of time and energy.

I do not have any problems with those who find gambling very useful and very profitable. There are lots of options everyone of us can choose from and in this case of gambling, everyone can do what works for them while I do what works for me.

Yes, I am not using gambling for survival and I also do not have anyone close to me who uses gambling for survival. Maybe I would have considered it, but gambling has not proven to be that profitable for me to rely on it. So yes again, I am not going to invest my time studying gambling.

First of all, we should not get our hopes up too high. It's okay to be confident, but we must also practice good risk management so that when things don't go as we want/analyze, it won't leave a deep wound. Don't use all the money you have just because you are feeling confident about a certain club, especially if that club is your favorite. I believe that luck still plays a big role in gambling. Nothing is certain, as you said, even in moments when the underdog team is able to defeat its stronger opponent. This proves that anything can happen, and all we can do is set aside a gambling budget to minimize risk.

On the other hand, the opportunity cost would be too high for me to afford. The common mortals have limited time and bills to pay, you know.

It makes me realize it is probably that all professional bettors out there who manage to life off their predictions are likely not common mortals like us, who have very mandate worries, and normal jobs to keep, you know.

They probably stick their faces onto a screen or several screens for a long period of time in order to get a minimum of leverage against other bettors in the next match, it is something which is not suitable for the average person who would need to have that time available to invest on family, friends and jobs...

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?

I feel like its definitely something that you need to study or at least have a pretty good general knowledge of the teams and players that you're betting on. But in this day and age using AI to help you make research easier helps you cut to the chase a lot faster than if you did all the research themselves. I wonder if a lot of people use AI in this way especially with this type of betting. There are really so many factors that come into play here but games can take crazy turns and even when you think you have a sure winner something can happen really fast that changes the whole game, especially when injuries occur.

It is advisable to maintain a normal job outside of gambling. Even if it is true that you can make money by betting, or that every bet you make has a high probability of making money, you should not abandon your main job. This is because there is still no certainty in gambling, as the chances of losing are high and cannot be changed. Furthermore, even with luck, no one knows when it will happen, and it is impossible for it to always be on our side. I can imagine people staring at screens or multiple screens to monitor the progress of a game or the bets they've placed. Do professional bettors do that? Maybe they do.

I really don't understand why someone would use his fortune to gamble, it seems that most of them get carried away by the odds, there's not like a sure odd because even the least 1. 05 odds won't even guarantee success in a bet, I'm speaking out of experience because the smaller odds I felt would guarantee winning have failed me on several occasions so I realise that gambling is strictly by luck and do bet witj what I can afford to lose, luck plays a major rule in gambling and even bettors should realise that fact.

Using wealth for gambling or other things is normal and it is our own right. I don't think it's a problem, but what is a problem is when the amount of money used for such things is excessive, because there is no guarantee of success. This should be a benchmark: even if you do it often, there is no guarantee of success because, after all, everything depends on luck.

You some folks believes so much in their strategy and they believe that it is guaranteed to always give them constant win. But then that isn't always the case, just like you said, there isn't any of kind of guarantee for success in gambling, you may win today and tomorrow may be another story... That is why I like suggesting that folks always should accept their loss, they shouldn't chase it all...And since loss is part of gamblingg,  gambler's should never use all their wealth to gamble, only if of course it is the money that they could afford to loose..

No matter what, analysis in sports betting is important, the proof is that I myself have a pretty good win in sports betting.

Whenever I see people who say this, I wonder why I never met them or you in any of the other paid competitions on this forum,,, if you are good at sports betting you would be great in these competitions

Where do you normally share your bets?

Well maybe they don’t just like showmanship or too much attention lol.

But honestly, there are people who are actually good with analyzing football games, but mind you, this doesn’t in anyway imply that they’re perfect in their analysis or that they don’t also lose. Inasmuch as analysis is important in sports betting, winning still depends pretty much on luck, chances and randomness and that’s nothing but the fact. Gamblers don’t win by merely being dope analysts, neither can they rely on luck alone to do the heavy lifting for them either.

Let us not make up excuses for shitposters and spammers,,, you do not want attention you do not post in a forum with public viewers, and say that you have 'proof' that they have pretty good wins in sports betting

I am not questioning people are good at analyzing I am saying people who say they have good sports wins are usually faking it

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I sometimes look at recent form but I don’t really study in any greet detail. I’m not betting large enough amounts to justify the time that significant study would take.

Anybody who is a professional gambler obviously needs to put in a lot more work than me though.
