Tipsters or your own picks, who do you trust more?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Some tipsters are damn good, if you are someone who don't have all the time to do research yourself then you can use a tipster, if you are someone who don't watch a lot of sport games but you feel like risking someone on bets, tipsters are the best partners you gonna get,

I agree with you, some are good and if a bettor have a direct link with a good tipster that they are using, it can be very favourable to them as long as the bettor also knows how to manage their risk properly in such a way that they don't stake with all the money they are winning and don't also stake with the amount that they can not afford to lose, then they are good. Someone that doesn't even like to show much interest in betting can use tipsters too. The important thing for me is not to take gambling as a source of income.

In sports betting, who do you really trust? The tipsters who show profit for a while, or yourself believing that in the long run you can be profitable if you keep learning.

Many bettors just follow tipsters blindly. If they see a winning streak, they assume the tipster really knows what he’s doing. But most of the time those results don’t last long. A few bad weeks and the profit disappears. So I’m curious how others see this. Is it better to trust someone else’s picks, or focus on developing your own analysis even if it takes longer to become profitable?

Using tipster doesn't necessary mean winning each bet, and betting yourself still doesn't guarantee better win, someone who wants to get entertained during betting would pick their bet themselves, while someone who is profit minded alone will pick bets from tipsters.

Personally, I prefer making my own predictions, my picks are from interesting fixtures for the week, I feel confident winning from my bet than taking predictions from another gambler.

I've seen many people online using the tips from those tippers to make good money, but I still prefer my own games. There's always this satisfaction you get when you are betting on your own games and even when you lose, it might not matter much because you know that you were the one who did play the game. Though I know of some celebrities who makes money just by playing games from tippers. It's quite impressive how the put in a lot of money in games called by others.. though there's nothing wrong, so long you believe in the persons games and if things goes wrong you should be ready to take the losses and not blame someone for your short comings..

I believe in having a balance. There are good tipsters yea, but most times the luck that comes with using tipsters is only temporary; it doesn't last long. If one used tipsters on one bet, he should also try out his natural skills with betting on his own. It is not just about the money, but also the fun involved in gambling.  If the tipster is no longer there,  the gambler will not be looking for another good tipster which he may not find, he will do it on his own. Remember, good tipsters are hard to find.

It is true that you cannot win in gambling by relying on tipsters, you have to depend on luck to win while gambling, only lucky people can make money by gambling. However, it is very important to manage gambling in a disciplined manner, as this reduces the risk of losing money and after winning or losing while gambling, you can maintain self-control over yourself, thus protecting yourself from big losses and protecting yourself from gambling addiction. We must remember that gambling is for entertainment, gambling to earn money is a complete stupidity .

There are a lot of tipster which their main plan is to make sports gamblers believe they are professional sports analysts with a good tracking record, which is why every gamblers most be careful, develop a good understanding of sports analysts, and trust in themselves.
I personally trust in myself, but I have a sports analyst I followed for years who I knew to be good, and his mainly earning is through sports betting. Despite his professionalism, I always do my own analysis and compare it with his own analysis.

The challenge here is verifying that they really have a winning record, because if it’s true then I guess they won’t be free tipsters. They will probably offer their tips through a subscription which could cost us money if we decide to subscribe, and those legit ones are usually not cheap.

So we have to think if we are ready and if we can afford that, or just continue doing our own thing since not all of us are betting decent amounts of money in sports betting. typical gamblers always looking for free tips, and I tell you it’s not gonna work. So the answer is just trust ourselves here.

You can get those tips from them if it is free. But if it is not, doubt the authenticity of their tips. Still best to trust your gut and follow your instincts. If you know the sports very well and you are updated with the happenings surrounding the sport, much better to follow your instincts.

In addition to what AmoreJaz said.
Most of the genuine tipsters I have known so far. They always provide the betting for free because they are also doing well personally for themselves, and they are only helping their followers to win while they use social media monetization (through views and other engagement) for their own benefit.
Another thing is that they always provide updated information about their analysist result, and the amount they won through the game they provided.
I'm talking about people who are winning thousands of dollar everyday through sports betting.

What I did was leave the group years ago because the daily betting is somehow affecting my psychology, and I barely have enough sleep at times, so I won't miss their analysts.

[AmaGold70]

As for me I prefer my own predictions instead of following tipsters. When you rely on tipsters, you may not be able to know the reason behind their selections, you may not also know how far they have gone in their research before betting on those games.
If you make your own prediction, you won't blame anyone even when the bet fails. Betting on your own enables you to go on your own research and bet according to the research you have made.
Following tipsters does not guarantee regular winning and the profit you make  also depends on the amount of money you used to gamble. I have followed tipsters but following tipsters was not favourable to me, so I stopped following them. More also, some people who follow tipsters do so because they don't have enough time to make research before placing their bet, maybe because of their work .

[junder]

I will firmly stick to my own choices when it comes to gambling or betting even though I might get additional information from tipsters but that still comes down to luck, so I prefer to rely solely on my own judgment especially since I trust luck more than tipsters. While some people rely on or use information from tipsters and that’s their right if a friend suggests I consider a tip from someone, I won’t follow it.

Without even told a gambler would understand that gambling depends on luck, which the tipsters can not get it correctly without being lucky. There was a time that I was relying on tipsters then after sometime time I see myself losing more and more so I decided not to gamble with someone's opinion only for me to find myself in a better mood even though it's not all the time but I think the game is far better than the way it was before.

[ralle14]

When I was still new to betting, I used to trust tipsters more, but now i'd rather trust my own research. It can be frustrating when you put too much trust in others, and their picks don't deliver. If you lose your pick, it doesn't feel as bad, and you can only blame yourself for making that bet.

Until now, I still follow tipsters here and there. It's just that i'm picky with it because others cover way too many sports, and some would be forced to post one even when the scheduled match is unreadable.

You follow tipsters from the starting of betting journey until you become self good to the point of selecting from oneself, you can't actually start on your own, there must be a source of information and data when starting for beginners.

When these beginners could sense that the results gotten off these tipsters aren't good enough, they switched to self improve, that's how it works.

I have never seen older gamblers to constantly taking from tipsters, they are now bigger in the game and choose by themselves.

Trusting yourself or a tipster doesn't guarantee you will win $$$ right? You have your knowledge and a tipster believes in their knowledge. With AI having damn near every stat you can ask about, tipster instincts and insights, and your own instincts and insight you can utilize all of it and make the best bet IMO. No need to only rely on 1, even with all 3 though, it does not guarantee a profit. Anything can happen in sports and games can be fixed.

I agree. As they say, you have to listen to everyone's opinion and point of view, collect information, and then finally make your decision. The decision is yours to make, but getting more insight from others might help you making the decision somehow. Similarly, when it comes to sports betting, someone who has good knowledge about sports betting can always go with their own knowledge, but it's better if they get information from others only to find out what others are thinking about the game they wish to make a bet on, they will have more details about the game now and then they can make their decision.

Involving AI might help because it can obviously provide analysis and data about past matches, but human insights could be more vital because an AI is only a machine that has data which it scans and comes up with the responses, but a person has a brain and understanding of how things could turn out, and an AI model can't see things like that. This is why it's very useful to ask others what they think of a certain game, and then include their answer in your analysis.

Except you're still at the early phase of your gambling when we can assume that you're still relatively not too strong regarding your knowledge of gambling then you can just depend on tipster is not, trusting your prediction is far better than relying on tipster that only try to project themselves a certain way even though they are nothing too different from you.

For me, tipsters should just serve as an added means of getting additional information for whatever you're predicting and not that you're going to make them a source you're going to completely depend on. No matter how they appear to be good, they are relatively nothing far from you.

[purple_sparkles]

I support everyone who says that you can use the knowledge and analysis of other experts or AI, but the final decision should still be made independently, since you are betting your own money.It all depends on the amount you want to bet and your level of interest. If the amount is minimal and you don’t want to spend a lot of time analyzing, then place your bet however you like, even if you lose, it’s not a big deal. But if you are genuinely interested and enjoy the process of analysis and considering different opinions, then have fun studying and analyzing. Still, don’t make huge bets. Gambling is always a risk, and you should always be ready to say goodbye to the money you put into it, otherwise, it can lead to problems.

If you're constantly relying on external people to pick your bets then you are never going to learn anything at all and will always be at the mercy of them. Let's say by some miracle you do actually stumble across somebody that is good at picking winning bets more often than not. At any moment they could disappear, reduce the flow or put their bets behind a pay wall - which will often remove any incentive to ever return to them. I don't think tipsters are valuable for that reason, but you can still use them for a little bit of a fun, however you need to track their outcomes and try to see if they are profitable over the long run. Several winning bets can easily be wiped out by a couple of mispriced failures, so don't look at short term streaks of success only.
