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

[sompitonov]

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 think the process of learning betting happens naturally. At first, you just do it without thinking, then you start to think about how it all works. Even if you study the entire mneyline for some popular event (handicap betting, Asian handicaps, etc.), you'll already learn a lot. As for strategies, they can be “studied” theoretically (and yes, they are all unprofitable), but it’s another matter to try them yourself and then modify them to suit yourself. It seems to me that those for whom betting becomes a hobby gradually become professionals in it, regardless of their efforts.

I loved watching those who streamed for a long time, or talked about betting, and showed how they played. It was as if they lived the game. Of course, many of them suffered huge losses early on, but gradual hard work and endless effort helped them get back on their feet and then earn money. I think these professionals have come to the point where they simply understand almost everything about betting and have extensive knowledge. Nevertheless, they've learned to react appropriately to losses because they understand that it's part of the game, and even prolonged losses happen. You just need to be able to cope with them and do your job. Ultimately, thanks to all their skills, they can still turn a profit.

Small efforts & learning can have a different impact than just gambling without using analysis. In gambling, the outcome is determined mostly by luck, if you are not lucky, no matter how much effort & study you put in, it will be meaningless. But that doesn't mean analysis is useless, in fact it is what increases our luck chances.

Despite there being no guarantee of winning with analysis in gambling, it is still useful. It is better than gambling blindly, and sometimes analysis helps in winning. If we have two gamblers, one with analysis and one without, the one with analysis has a greater possibility of being lucky enough to win.

If you want to win in gambling, you must put in some effort and wait for luck, and time will tell when you hit your lucky streak. Many gamblers just hold on to the unpredictability of gambling and choose to approach it carelessly.

Yes, I truly believe that most active sports bettors will lose all their money in the long run. However, I do believe that there are professional gamblers who can succeed in the long run. 🙋

The question is… Am I ready to become such a professional gambler? I'm sure no, I'm not ready to become a professional gambler. I don't have the necessary skills and competencies. I can't devote much time to this activity... So I play purely for fun! For me, gambling is great entertainment. It's a struggle against chaos. I find it interesting.

I don't set myself the goal of mastering all the intricacies of sports betting. However, since I bet on sports regularly, I have made some progress. I would call it progress. I'm beginning to understand some things. But I'm not yet striving to become a professional in this field. I have other interests. 💁

But analysis alone won't guarantee you wins, although it should increase your chances. Gambling is much more complex than just analysis, because you can analyze the data but bet too often and too much, which will lead to more frequent losses. The lack of risk management also negatively impacts the overall result, so success in gambling is the result of significant effort.

Of course, there are professional players who are excellent at poker or blackjack and make huge amounts of money from it, but I don't often hear about professionals who bet on sports. Of course, that doesn't mean they don't exist; they just try to keep a low profile. I've long heard that they even buy accounts with losing bets so bookmakers won't suspect them of being professionals, although I don't know if that's true. That said, I've tried studying betting, but I've just had very little luck, so I don't have much experience. I still haven't lost hope that I'll definitely be able to win more often; I just need to put in more time.

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..

Yes you are right winning in gambling has nothing to do with strategy because even those that claim to be more skilled in gambling they aren't even the most successful set of people in gambling. Strategy without luck can't guarantee winning in gambling. The most important thing is luck without luck  winning isn't certain.

In gambling we cannot win without luck, but strategy is important. Because if a gambler applies a good strategy, he will be able to survive in gambling. Sometimes a gambler reduces his risk by applying his strategy. And when a gambler tries to survive in gambling while reducing his risk, I think luck can work positively for him. Betting on luck only without strategy means betting blindly particularly in sports betting. I definitely want to rely on both strategy and luck.

[Betwrong]

Yes, I truly believe that most active sports bettors will lose all their money in the long run. However, I do believe that there are professional gamblers who can succeed in the long run. 🙋

Yes, but not as many as you might think. By my estimation, it's 70% of all active sports bettors that lose all their money in the long run. And by "all their money" I mean all the money they allocated for betting. Because 90% of sports bettors are normal people and, as it is with all gamblers in general, only 10% are problem gamblers.

The question is… Am I ready to become such a professional gambler? I'm sure no, I'm not ready to become a professional gambler. I don't have the necessary skills and competencies. I can't devote much time to this activity... So I play purely for fun! For me, gambling is great entertainment. It's a struggle against chaos. I find it interesting.

I can say absolutely the same about myself. I'm fascinated by exploring the frequency of low-probability events in real life. I always bet with less than 10% win chance and I can see with my own eyes that I win approximately one bet out of 10.

You are correct, very much so, in underlining that it is a combination of keen calculation and chance which keeps one in the game. I believe by doing nothing about risk management a person will only hasten to bankrupt because of engaging in excessive dependence on chance without a concrete background. We need to possess a reasoned approach that will ensure every action is an act of malice which might cost us financially. Intuition should not be used to the detriment of data and data should not be used to the detriment of intuition, the best bet we can do is strike the right equilibrium between the two.

The answer to your thread will be that, putting time and effort to study betting is kinda waste because we already know it's not about how much we study bet that gives us win but rather how lucky we are. Putting time and effort to study betting will help us to minimize loss because we would understand that winning is not as easy some people think it is and yet it won't still make us to win but I won't discourage anyone to do what pleases them.

Luck is very important for us to be having consistent winnings even when you are playing skilled games that requires your intellectual understanding about the game. The mistake we make is to think that we are going to be making profits everytime we bet even though you have the luck to gamble and make profits but this can never be consistent as always.

To the other user, I would say it's rather betting blindly when we choose to bet using strategy alone and totally ignoring or undermining the place and role that being lucky plays in all our winnings, I tell you this because, without any form of strategy or whatsoever, it is very and absolutely possible to win bets in sports betting by simply depending on luck and actually being lucky..

But depend on strategy alone and remove luck completely, depend on your knowledge of sports alone and remove luck completely, you will never win, every bet you place will end up in loss and sometimes, you yourself will have to ask yourself what are you doing wrong exactly, and you won't even have an answer for that question because you completely undermined the place of being lucky, this should show us how important being lucky is when it comes to any game in gambling, be it luck based, or knowledge or skill based games.

There's nothing bad that we should determine in putting more efforts and time to whatever thing that we are doing, because once its taking our time, then it deserves the best for maximum output, gambling may be all about having fun and getting entertained to our brim of satisfaction, however, it is not also bad if we can learn more about it in other to understand better and be able to do exploit in it achieving our goal.

If you want to be successful in life and in anything you do, you need to study because without knowledge there is nothing you can do, mainly in gambling , it's not just what you watch people do but and succeed but you have to have your own ideas and knowledge before you can understand what others are doing or follow up completely .

Studying is part of ones life,.it makes you grow intellectually even if not gambling, it exposed you to alot of things and how you can manage your life.

My direct answer is that even though it is a waste of time and effort, I have tried several times to stop myself from gambling. I have tried to stop myself from sports betting several times before but it was a complete failure. That's why I try to make gambling fun and I spend some time every day playing sports so that I can learn a lot and apply some of the benefits of this learning to my gambling. I don't really spend my time and effort on making a profit or winning bets. Rather, I try to pass some of my boring time by gambling.

I think it's a must do task for everybody willing to place bets in sports. Through the path to place a sportsbet, the gambler has to decide in which sport he can make the study to analysis options. Let's say he is a soccer fan. Then he has to chose the league which should be one of his favorite leagues. Then has to chose a combination of matches and teams. After then, he can decide the exact type of bet, whether to bet on match result or number of goals or whatever.

This is a chronological logic procedure for every sport bettor. If any step is missing, the gambler might find himself navigating in an ocean of probabilities.

I've spoken to people who claimed to have made large sums of money betting on sports. And I have no reason not to believe them.🙋

These were older men, former athletes. They had been interested in various sports since childhood and possessed excellent analytical skills. They spent a great deal of time studying information about each sport. These men also claimed that the less popular the sporting event, the easier it is for a bettor to win (when betting on sports). This is because only in this situation can a bookmaker set incorrect odds. When betting on the outcome of popular sports, it is much more difficult for a bettor to gain a competitive advantage, since all the information available for analysis is known in advance to both the bookmaker and other bettors.

These men also said that the main problem for professional bettors is opposition from bookmakers. If it weren't for this, bettors could win huge sums of money.  Bookmakers don't really like professional players who consistently win.🤷

Personally, I'm not a professional player. I play purely for fun and lose more often than I win. But I'm not too upset by this.

[rachael9385]

Why not? If its the best ways to succeed and make countless profits, I'd be willing to maximize my efforts in studying sports betting. After all, we all gamble not just simply for entertainment, but to win and make a good income after.

However, we should not forget that gambling is not just all about profits but losses as well. We should not expect to be in consistent profits then as its surely impossible with gambling. The casino will definitely react to it.

That's a true statement, gambling isn't about profits but losses as well. Studying and putting in a lot of time to analyse on order to get good results doesn't take out the fact that you are not going to incur losses, the problem with lots of bettors is that they get over confident in their strategies which makes them stake more than they should because they think that winning is guaranteed.

Everyone who gamble try to place as many bets as possible, and it happens to make the highest profit in gambling. But if anyone think on a single bet can make the winner and make a good profit, then that is his/her choice, which can be changed only by the choice of the gambler.

Everyone has their own style for gambling , for betting, for everything, so this is something we should consider Personally, I tend to make one bet, maybe two at most, and that's because I know that team well and have followed them, but otherwise, no That's just my style. I'm speaking from my point of view, but there must be players who are much more dedicated and therefore make more bets.

Peculiarity of the method of choice is a personal prerogative which we should not touch, since psychological comfort is of primary importance when taking a risk. You obviously know that all that you gain on knowing all about a certain team can be very worth more than a huge, untreated gambling. Directness of action endows us with a feeling of peace which does not lead us into an expensive wantonness.

Y’ll just tying this gambling thing with the popular success principles, which I’m not against though, because it is true that when you study and acquire knowledge in anything in life there’s a high chance of succeeding..

But personally for me, even if I’m to go with the fact that been consistent in anything you do can birth you a different result from other…
The question then is, will I be willing to give that amount of my time to gambling?? I don’t think I will be willing to tbh, I will rather give that time to something else tbh..
So I’ll just stick to playing for fun, that’s all..
