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

[Frankolala]

I trust my bets more on myself, it doesn't mean I'm an expert in analysis but I realize there is no guarantee of winning even if you use a professional or paid tipster, therefore it's better to try it yourself by continuing to hone your skills even though it's still possible to still not win in the long run, at least with my own efforts my abilities can be much better.

When it comes to gambling, I believe more in my luck than any other person luck. If you get your bet from a tipster, that's not your luck but that of the tipster and if the game doesn't end well, you'll have no one to blame. I think that our luck plays a major role in our destiny which is the main reason why I do my analysis myself to avoid missing my luck or I follow my instincts.

I still trust myself than others or tipsters although I am not good at analysis. They can't gives an accurate prediction although they say like that because the match can change and no one will know what the end.

If they trust tipsters, they must finding the best tipsters who have a high accurate prediction. That is difficult since you must find one by one of the tipsters so it is better to focus on developing your own analysis as that can improve your skills.

You don't rely on tipsters that will not always right and you spends money to have their services.

In my opinion, you shouldn’t put too much trust in tipsters either, because I believe they’re also looking to profit from the tips they provide especially since their tips aren’t guaranteed to deliver satisfactory results. I think it’s better to trust yourself instead, because even if we lose, that’s our choice and we should be able to accept it gracefully. But when we rely on tipsters and the results are disappointing, that might lead to conflict where we end up blaming the tipster for the disappointing outcome. In my opinion, tipsters aren’t entirely accurate either, so it can be said they’re selling their strategies or ideas, and the final outcome still depends on luck.

In theory you are correct as it is not your own luck, I also believe more in my picks than those of anyboday else but there is times when your picks fail and that other person luck is winning in a consistent way that you start thinking to yourself maybe I should start following and copying this person bets. Well I did once and it did not end well for me because I kept losing my bankroll as long as I was following this tipster. So my conclusion is that only luck determine outcomes and tipsters do not play a role.

There’s no general correct answer here since this topic relies on each user preference on our bet and goal while we have different choice on this.

Availing trusted tipster is not bad if you really sucks on sports betting and you want to improve your winning percentage to become profitable instead of forcing your own dull skills that will cost a lot of money.

I’m not a regular sports bettor so I don’t use tipster.

That's true because everyone has their own preferences here but for me when someone has a gambler's mind they will obviously choose to do it independently to bet even though there is nothing salab when you choose the tipster but there will always be an ego that we have (as gamblers) if we prefer the tipster over our own choice.
 
A gambler will always prioritize ego for his own choice over the choice of others including the tipster although not all will be like this but I am quite sure the average gambler (including on this forum) will try to trust himself before referring to the tipster as an option even maybe they might not choose the tipster at all.

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?

In sports betting, I have no trust for people who claim to be tipsters. They may have a "history" of having constant wins and could have lots of people follow him and his tips. Obviously, there are people who follow tipsters blindly as they're influenced by what they see(the "wins", the number of followers he has...) and they end up trusting these tipsters blindly.
In any case, I could also borrow some of his tips and add up with mine and predict my own games instead of constantly trusting all of what the tipster brings. Going on to try and predict my picks in sports betting and winning it in the end brings me greater joy than when I take predictions from these tipsters.

I will boldly say that I'm more pretty good than the tipsters because I know my achievement in the game. If I'm not mistaking I won bets almost every weekend because I always settle down with my focast, which those tipsters are finding difficult to do.

As far as gambling industry is concerned there's nothing special about the tipsters because they are also experiencing the losses, in fact many of us are even more talented in making good prediction than them.

If there is so little trust to tipsters, why people still listen to their advices? Why such people even still exist? Only explanation I can give is fear of responsibility for lost bet. It is much easier to blame tipster than admit that I was wrong at making prediction.

Dont you find it interesting, if tipster is a person who knows sports better, the same as consultant in a shop knows products better than customer, then people prefer not to trust tipster, but trust consultant?

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.

It's very difficult to understand how profitable tipsters' bets are. Many players naively focus on winning percentages, but I wouldn't advise being too uncritical. After all, to achieve a high winning percentage, it's enough to bet on teams or players with low odds—that is, on favorites. You'll win most of the games and have good statistics. However, a small number of losing bets will wipe out your meager profits. Unfortunately, this is a common pitfall.

I prefer to bet on my own, because with tipsters, to begin with, if you wanted to achieve the same win rate as them, you’d have to copy every single one of their bets – which is impossible. The moment you only follow some of them, the sample size can significantly skew the tipster’s win rate. And that’s assuming they’re a legitimate tipster, as many advertise themselves as tipsters after a long winning streak and then start losing, and so on.

I’d rather make my own mistakes.

If everything depends on luck then why bother listening to the tipster who sells his predictions, instead we will be considered silly when doing so and we can be the one who is laughed at, because this is really funny, instead of looking for a tipster as someone who helps us bet but on the other hand they also depend on luck.
Yes, the point is that it is better to rely on the results of your own predictions, if you know it is wrong, there must be something that can be corrected if you win, you can be very proud because of your own results, not the intervention of others.

It’s only profitable if the player skills itself is sucks compared to the tipster analysis skills.

However, there’s no fun on availing tipster if you don’t enjoy the game itself through our own analysis. I have a mediocre sports betting analysis but still I’m happy to keep playing that way because I’m challenged to proved my prediction accuracy.

Also, it’s my way to enjoy the sports match I’m watching unlike tipster that do bet on different sports that I don’t have any idea.

Well in my opinion even if you rely completely on yourself you often get confused and if you blind follow the tipsters you get disappointed, however in my opinion it is wise to think in your own way or try to understand the match since in reality everyone see their own benefit first, be it a gambling platform or tipster. This makes it appear that a sense of self is slowly being developed. In the end your own decision is the right one but it is not bad to see other people's ideas on way to learning if you can use them wisely, But i will say if someone suddenly become dependent on the tipsters then there is danger.

[Alpha Marine]

For me, there is no straightforward answer to this. Before I can trust a tipster, I have to have bet on a prediction for a while and see that he is actually good. I don't get moved by seeing the past winning of tipsers. Also, the games he got accurately shouldn't just be obvious options that anybody could have predicted. You're nothing special if you predict 3 odds weekly of Bayern Munich or Barcelona to score 2 or more goals each. Those are pretty straightforward predictions. It has to be on games or options that not a lot of people saw coming.

A reason I might take a tipster's games over mine is that I do not watch or follow all the leagues. I follow the top 7 leagues in Europe and a few other popular ones like the Turkish league. Then there are a few outside Europe that I follow a little, like the MLS and SPL, and the Brazilian league, too. This means my knowledge of a lot of leagues, including leagues in Europe, is limited. So if the tipster has more knowldge than me in a particular league, I would take his opinion about a match more seriously.

I don't get confused, I just make a quick trip, either I guess or I lose. 
I'm not good at analyzing games, honestly I try but then I often and willingly realize that even analyzing a single team in the long run, maybe in the game where I bet my analysis has limitations, or I simply couldn't do it the right way.
So every bet I place I make by feeling, and I consider the bet singular for that specific event or encounter, so it's completely random.

Forecasters are very "cunning guys" ... They will stop at nothing to make as much money as possible. That's why I don't trust forecasters. 🙋

Let me give you a specific example... Forecasters often create multiple accounts, each of which they use to publish forecasts. Some accounts perform poorly, others perform well. Forecasters use the accounts with good forecasts to make money. People may think the forecaster is incredibly lucky, but that's only because they don't see the whole picture. People don't know about the existence of accounts that perform poorly. As a result, forecasters make money from subscriptions (effectively deceiving their audience).

That's why I don't trust forecasters. I trust myself more (I have no reason to deceive myself). I don't try to compete with forecasters. I don't have a goal to be better than forecasters; I want to be better today than I was yesterday. 🧖

Since there is nobody that knows it all, not even those tipsters, it's better they can just have some advantage that they obtained with years of experience of getting some kind of firsthand information that we don't have access to, but whatever their analysis is dependent on, it's better we still have our own skill trust in them. We can get their own prediction and add it to ours or use our own skill to analyze it again to know if we will go with that or still stick with ours. I prefer to depend on my own skill, but I also still create room for those who say they know better than others; we just don't have to follow them blindly.

it really is up to you if you can trust others. personally i'd overthink and second guess someone unless they have the same prediction as mine but in that case, what is the point of consulting tipsters if we have the same analysis? i'd rather lose on my own terms
