Still aiming for profit in Sports Betting despite losses?

[passwordnow]

I've lost a lot and then recovered some. But my thought on this is that as long as I am enjoying and happy with the outcome presently, I'll continue. I won't share how much I've lost so far but I am not giving up or means stopping for the others since I am a gambler. That's what I do whenever I want to bet for some games and usually, they're in the esports that I also watch. Having a bet on the side while watching is exciting for me.

The goal isn't to become profitable but to ensure not to lose beyond what we can afford to whenever we're making our bets. For the bets lost we can't concentrate on recovering them back as that can actually lead to loss chasing and more losses because we might not be gambling within our standard limit again at that time. When it's a sports you're enjoying and having a great gambling time without it being problematic to you, then it's fine not to stop.

Just control the losses if it's possible while having fun with the bets that we do. It doesn't give that much joy when we're losing and we're blindly recovering all of it. There's no sense anymore that we're trying to recover but obviously, we're losing more instead. So, stick to what you've thought as you gamble before and that's to have fun because not all gamblers that thinking of making a lot of money happens. The reality is even the opposite of it that more sportsbettors are losing money instead of making themselves profitable.

How long have you been betting on sports already?
Roughly, how much do you think you’ve lost so far (if you’re okay sharing)?
And why are you still not giving up on the goal of becoming profitable someday?

Most of us probably didn’t start winning right away. For many, it’s years of trial and error, blown bankrolls, bad decisions, and emotional betting before learning anything real.

So what keeps you going?

Is it discipline? Better bankroll management? Improved analysis? Or just believing that experience will pay off in the long run?

Or maybe you already accepted that this is more of a hobby than a business, and profit is just a bonus?

There's one thing we need to know about gambling which they often preach here all the time. It has been said several times that we shouldn't rely heavily on gambling because it's a game that luck plays a significant role in determining the final outcome, there's no easy way to make money in gambling so we should always try to know this when gambling because the game is always in favor of the casino.

So I don't gamble everyday I only gamble on the weekend with the mindset of trying luck not to beat the casino since they are fully prepared for gamblers.

The reality is even the opposite of it that more sportsbettors are losing money instead of making themselves profitable.

If you can't control your emotions and losses, you don't have any business with gambling, you need to control your emotions, if you can do this then know that you have solved half of your problems with gambling. You will be able to handle anything that comes your way with gambling, you will be making bet and be making money and wouldn't care about anything because you have pass that level where you know it's about money and at the same time it's not about money.

I don't think there is any way you are going to gamble and not make any loss in gambling. It's not possible, you have to accept that fact that is the main reason why casino are established, you make loss and they make momey but at the same time it's your responsibility to want to beat them and make momey in return but it should never be in a way that you are going to be loss on the process, gambling isn't a do or die thing that you must accomplished by force.

[Somto9Light]

You know it is almost impossible for a gambler to keep wining all the time without losing, for the fact that they are losing doesn't mean that they can't win because sometimes after losing to some extent they  might just unlock thier wining streak and then they will start wining just like as they have been losing. But as a gambler you should learn how to control your losses and also your winings because most gamblers don't bother to stop even though they are losing but it's wrong, if you try for like 1-2 times and it didn't work you have to take a break just the same thing applicable to your winning streak.

[bhadz]

I have not thought of gambling as a business. It's a hobby and it's a craze in the country due to the existence of too many online casinos. And making a business out of it will mean that you're a serious one in it. Either you become an actual full time gambler or just someone who casually markets it, I think the latter is better than being a full time. There are a lot of losses that have been made by each of us I think that's for sure. Each of us are no longer thinking of recovering the most of it. Because if we continue to chase all of it, we might lose more.

I have been betting since I was a teenager till this adulthood.

Roughly, how much do you think you’ve lost so far (if you’re okay sharing)?
And why are you still not giving up on the goal of becoming profitable someday?

I have lost many times as much as I have been gambling. And why I am not giving up is that I prefer taking risk

Most of us probably didn’t start winning right away. For many, it’s years of trial and error, blown bankrolls, bad decisions, and emotional betting before learning anything real.

Of course that is what happens to every gambler or that is what they passes through all the time. And

So what keeps you going?

Is it discipline? Better bankroll management? Improved analysis? Or just believing that experience will pay off in the long run?

Slow and Steady and a good bankroll bankeo is what helps me

[Stablexcoin]

It's easier to be at peace when your bankroll is in order,  when you have total control over your mind and it's not affected by losses. I dont look at gambling as a way out of financial issues but rather whatever comes when it comes, no pressure, no matter of urgency.

[Jubilee58]

I have gambling for many years now and honestly, I have recorded more losses than winning and yet, I have stopped gambling. Once a while I do win and the fact that I don't loose all the time is the reason why am still in the game. More also, I don't take gambling as my means of livelihood and therefore I have total control over my gambling lifestyle and I don't gamble everytime.
I have not won big before and I believe no will be a looser everytime and someday I believe am going to win big.

[Makus]

Hoping to win in the long and using that as a drive is the same as setting outrageous expectations for yourself. when it comes to betting or gambling there's no such thing as a guaranteed win, the more you keep Hoping to win and you only incur more losses this would. make you depressed. I'm not a regular sports bettor but once in a while I still place a few bets whenever I'm interested in doing it. I don't take betting seriously, this mindset has helped me a lot, it makes it easy for me to gamble responsibly and avoid getting addicted.

I have said it somewhere before now that gambling is a game of luck and as long as others are still winning and I have also won before, I can still be lucky one day to win a huge amount which I have not won before. I have that hope but it doesn't change my decision never to be a compulsive gambler and never to see gambling as a source of income, my decision to continue gambling and luckily win a huge amount is not based on living on it as my source of income, I have other sustainable source of income that I'm working on, gambling is not part of it, it's for fun bit if wins come out of it, then I will still be happy.

[ZeroVinsonN]

Of course, we can build castles in the air in our heads because we always want to believe in the best and that we can achieve it, but reality often tells us otherwise, when a player sits with a zero balance because they started increasing their bets during a losing streak without following risk management.

For a gambler that is trying to make profits from gambling after having a losing streaks must know that they don't have to do it in a way that will beinh mkre loses. There is need to gamble wisely and avoid trying to make the kind of profits that will want to makw them want to gamble more to earn more. Greed has to be removed from gambling to stay safe.

It is that urge to win back all their losses that eventually pushes people to become gambling addicts, we should be able to practice patience in every thing that we do, if you are on a losing streak and you have exhausted your bankroll for the day then the best thing to do is to stop, you don't have to keep going when you have already spent all you initially planned on gambling with, stopping doesn't make you weak, it's instead shows that you have control over your own actions rather than just acting on impulse.

[Finestream]

Sports betting just excite me every time despite of the big losses I've endured. And as long as my losses remain manageable, I would always find some time to bet on sports. Maybe because that already becomes one of my hobbies, and the satisfaction I get matters to me more than betting on it purely for source of living.

Discipline also plays a big role why until now I'm still gambling in sports. I am not fond of betting it all in one go because for sure I will only lose it in 5 seconds, but I stick with small amount and increase the betting amount whenever I observed the rate of winning probability is high.

[alastantiger]

So what keeps you going?

I have been betting for a while now and honestly, I have had my share of losses, well enough to know it is not easy money and not that i gamble with the mindset of looking for money while betting.  Basically what keeps me going is the fun, i guess entertainment i get and then learning from mistakes, improving my thougt process and just trying to make smarter decisions each time. I would say discipline and better bankroll management are slowly becoming part of my approach but I have also recognized that for most people sports betting is more of a hobby than a reliable business especiallythose who just bet because their team is playing and yeah profit is great when it comes but the real value is in understanding the game, managing risks and growing as a bettor over time.

gambling on the weekend is a good way to recharge after a long week. it makes you look forward to something and it can reinvigorate you into the next week. just make sure you aren’t bringing the losses from the weekend into the next week.

[Rashlyowl]

Although recovering losses is a bad thing, there is a silver lining if we are aware of it. I myself experienced this, which caused me to lose control and gamble recklessly, resulting in huge losses overnight. But from that experience, I learned a lesson that I had to start improving myself and my excessive gambling behavior.

Additionally, I feel fortunate to have become aware and to have the intention to improve everything. Now, things are going well, even though I still enjoy gambling, but there is a difference because of the strict limits I have set for myself.

There will always be a lesson behind what we experience, not only when we lose big, even when we win big we can learn a lesson to be grateful & not greedy. I think everyone has experienced a big loss that made them realize something, but not all players are able to learn from it. I know someone whose life was ruined because he didn't learn from his experience, even though he had good job with good salary.

[r_victory]

I started betting on sports a little over a year and a half ago, so I haven't lost much money, since I don't make high-stakes bets. I continue because I like the risk, the thrill, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to call it a profitable activity. Certainly, I've lost more than I've won, but that doesn't bother me.

[Miles2006]

So far according to historical record in gambling generally the number of losses are much as well the number of wins. From my point of view it’s all thesame meanwhile personally I get more wins often compare to lose, winning is never certain yet losses sometimes can be avoided either funds management or cash out option, I don’t take record about gambling win yet I can easily recall my previous experience and now. Gambling activity is seen as a causal activity mainly for fun despite the fact many view gambling as a means to earn profit which is actually possible, consistency must be considered first before any huge win.

If you are a person whose having that interest with gambling or betting then doing in weekends would be the main routine but for those who do seldom gambling or just simply that once in a while then there would be that those other options on which they can be able to deal on with. It would be  that up to you on what you would be that doing in your weekends. What matter most on here is that you do know on what your limits are when it comes to finances on which this would be the best approach to this one. never ever deal up with gambling if you do have some problems when it comes to emotions or not wanting to lose up money in the first place. There are situations on which instead that you would be having that leisure time, you do end up on having that frustration instead just because you've been losing up that too much.

You should be knowing on when to stop specially when your bankroll on that particular session has been busted up. This is where most gamblers do messed up their lives on finances just because they cant be able to control themselves and chansing up their loses instead.

There are some gamblers who do not want to understand the education required for gambling. They have money, they bet, but even if they lose, they do not learn from that loss, and even when they win, they do not feel the need to learn from it. But if a gambler learns from winning and losing, he will be able to bet better. Later, he will also gain a better experience in gambling. When he wins, the gambler becomes eager to win more, where the gambler's greed works, and when he loses, he tries to recover his losses. If the gambler considers the lessons obtained from these two positions and uses that experience, then he will be able to do better in the future in terms of betting.

Expecting winning from gamble is very terrible as you may not get what you have always expected. Gamble is for entertainment, if you begin to expect winning from it, there's always a chance that you will lose your bet at the end. Sometimes gamblers even become addicted to gamble. I would advice that gamblers should treat gamble as entertainment not a mean to make profits. If you expecting winning from gamble and you are not getting what you expecting, it is very important for you to change that mindset immediately.
