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?
Over the years I’ve been into betting, I’ve tried absolutely everything, from tipsters’ predictions and various telegram prediction groups to prediction markets and websites where real people share their opinions. And I can say that out of all this, my own bets, the ones I choose myself, work best.
The point is that when you take someone else’s prediction, you don’t understand what it’s based on. Maybe people just make them randomly or without deep analysis. But when you choose a bet yourself, you go through every point and every criterion that matters to you. So if you spend enough time gaining experience in betting, your own bets will be better than any tipster or any prediction from any website or group.
