Do you consider yourself a smart bettor?

[Mr_Brilliant$]

Offcourse Yes,  I have to consider myself one , a smart bettor. Because I am not lost amd totally engrossed by the activities of bets. I donot spend ally money in betting activities neither do I borrow to play a bet.
If I was to do all of these i have mentioned above then I'm not a smart bettor.  And any other person who is guilty of excessive bet times and excess money for bet amongs other activities is certainly not a wise better

Exactly, for me, being a smart bettor is not really about winning every game, because that one is not even realistic self... It is more about how you can handle yourself while betting.. As long as I am using only money I can afford to lose, not touching funds meant for something important, and definitely not borrowing or chasing my losses… then I am a smart better..

I might not be able to predict game perfectly, but that discipline of removing emotions from gambling and knowing when to stop.. The self control alone, for me, that is actually my definition of a smart bettor..

When every Gambler is being asked this question that if he think he is a smart gambler, you will definitely responded yes, because even when people are doing something that is not the rights step to take when gambling, in their own eyes they feel the best because that is how they wanted to do theirs, but being smart about gambling is for us to be able to take every precautionary measure to ensure that we enjoy gambling and also do so in our own adventure, so that at the end of the day, everything about gambling come to a benefit for us.

I am not a smart bettor and I am not a irresponsible bettor too, I stay in between, I have learnt to accept that gambling is all about luck, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, this is not something that I can bet alot of money on I guess this is the part where protecting myself is a must.

It's all about risk tolerance, the smaller the better but there is a big chance that you will win small amount too but it's better than risking money that you aren't ready to lose, just one lose is enough to bring you disaster, protecting your fund is the first priority as a gambler, no one is going to promise you some wins, protect yourself always and expect less from gambling.

A close friend told me he won a hug amount of money so time ago and was happy feeling that he was in his season of luck. took the money he won from the bet and placed more bet in other to win extra and invest in something else, but lost all again.
In my own point of view no body is a smart bettor, because gambling is a game if chance and luck.

What happened to your friend is unfortunate, but it happened because he didn't know how to handle the power of money. If he had taken a course or read a book about financial education or sought a financial advisor, the last thing he would have done was risk his money, He would have learned from it and invested it, even in BTC But in those moments, even friends can go crazy because there's money involved, and some don't know how to manage it.

You have a point, but you can still be a smart bettor despite not winning the game most of the time because what makes a gambler a smart bettor is how the gambler manages his/her buzz, and how s/he was able not to bet with the amount s/he cant afford to lose.
Having said that, gambling is not all about luck; you also need to understand the game rules, the gambling platform rules, and also have experience/knowledge about the game, which i believe you cant have it all through luck.

It would be wiser to be planning how to spend every cent of your bet rather than just trusting in luck alone that is never certain. Being emotionally immune to get into a situation where you cannot bet because of your money is also a definite indication of mental maturity which will keep your family secure. By critically familiarising ourselves with the regulations and platform policies, we will be able to escape technical traps that typically hurt beginner gamers. Peace of mind is ensured by mature experience in competition.

If you are not winning, then what's smart about you as a gambler if I may ask? Gambling is about winning, been able to handle yourself is upto you because it's not force on you but because you love it. If you like gambling then it's your responsibility to gamble with what you can afford to lose, it's not a rocket science that gambling isn't guaranteed, it's only person that don't want to learn and accept this things that end up with loss and can't handle it.

As a smart gambler, when you lose money and have few left bankroll, you should be able to pick one or two games that can make you come back. If you know how to play around this kind of games you should have no problem with casino taking everything from you. I'm sure that even when you encounter hard situations where you may likely lose everything, you can come out of it and still win bet, that's essense of smart gambling.

Do you consider yourself a smart bettor? In what sense can you say that about yourself, especially if you’re not really winning your bets?

My opinion on this is that being a smart gambler or a bettor is not solely measured by how much winning streaks you have been making and profiting from. If you are able to manage your bankroll, control your emotions not to chase losses neither go beyond your fixed bankroll., and knowing when to quit and quitting  without getting greedy. Simply given, a smart bettor does not lie in your winning bets but how you are able to be in control in cutting down your losses.

True, being smart in gambling is not measured by the statistics of winning and losing but the statistics on how well he manages his bankroll.  Winning and losing is not controlled by the player, and is dependent on luck.  What the player can control is how much he will bet, and how much time he spends engaging in gambling.  Smart gamblers have all their gambling activities sorted out, engaging in gambling without affecting their other activities.   Playing in the casino without busting his finances.

There are several reasons why I consider myself to be a smart bettor and one of them is the fact that I'm able to manage thr risks involved in my gambling activities and also minimise my risks. Being a smart bettor doesn't mean outsmarted because some people win and they think this is what they do but in actual sense they just hot lucky, A smart bettor does not get too confident when it comes to gambling

And a smart bettor really needs to know when to stop and when to call it a day; even with their developed strategies, they still know it's not just strategy but luck that has a hand in it, and they just don't have to boast their confidence based on the recent winning, which some usually do by increasing their wager amount as if they are certain of the next winning result, which is a result of a lack of control.

Gambling luck can favour any one and it can be that at a certain moment it favoured the reckless and unsmart gambler and which makes it correct that smartness is not limited to statistical win rates.

A player can be gambling irresponsibly and be fortunate to hammer a big score in a bet that turns him into massive profit  and later blow it all away in a snap. In this particular regard, where does smartness enlist? No where. No discipline, no money management, it makes profit made a waste cause at the end all that profit will still returns to the house.

I have seen some gamblers who don't have good knowledge about gambling. Sometimes they bet blindly and luck favors them. They also win in their bets. Such gamblers can suddenly lose all their money. That is why it is better not to gamble only by relying on luck. Smart bettors try to keep their bets within their limits. Gamblers who lose a few bets do not lose patience. But gamblers who only rely on luck get frustrated if they lose a few bets. At some point, the possibility of their addiction can increase rapidly.

A smart bettor always try to gamble within his ability. He sets a limitation before gambling. No matter what he wins or loses, he does not exceed his limit. Smart bettors are also very careful about their risks. They avoid bets that have a big risk. Smart bettors can control their greed and emotions. That is why such gamblers can stay gambling for a long time even if their winnings are not large.

Since we don't control our fate in gambling we can atleast try to control our expenses on it cause the higher edge goes to the house and when a gambler fail to be responsible he's giving the house an opportunity to get more money from him. Responsible gambling is one of the best ways bettors can be smart although you'll definitely lose to the house but not something that could make you go bankrupt after several betting trials.

[POPOLUV]

I really consider myself being a smart bettor because through my experience in gambling i was really selfish to myself because my focus on gambling was to gather so much odds that i can be able to win a huge amount of money with betting or staking with low amount of money and then i was experiencing lossing more than winning but the day i was able to control my feelings and focus on gambling was the day i decided not to be accumulating so much odds but to deal with just one game that can give sure odd and i will stake with bigger amount of money to increase my winning.

[KiaKia]

I am not smart at any other things in gambling than the amount that I am risking in every bets and gambles, there was a time when I like to risk more money on gambling but now I am smarter.

I don't have to beat the game, I don't have to find when and where I can be more lucky, all I can do is risk money like I am not risking anything so that when losses comes it won't take too much from me.

The likes of people that believe that more money iss all you need as a gambler to win are all new to gambling, the only strategy that works as a gambler is you risking and losing what can't get you killed or render you useless.

[AprilioMP]

At the same time, if we’ve been doing this for years, maybe there’s still something we get out of it. Not money, but maybe the entertainment, the experience, understanding the games and odds better, or just enjoying the action. For those who have been gambling for years but are not really profitable, do you still consider yourself a smart bettor? If yes, what makes you say that?

Every gambler has their own experience, which may differ even though the underlying goal is the same.
For those who play solely to win more money than they’ve deposited, every year they’ll only tally their winnings and losses until eventually they stop playing because there’s nothing left—this applies to those who’ve gone through it.

For those who play just for entertainment, enjoying the entire process, they may have lasted this long, and if they consider themselves smart gamblers, I don’t think that’s a wrong assumption. I fall into this category.

It seems to me that self-confident people are always the ones who will eventually fail in any business. After all, a self-confident person never listens to the opinions of others and believes that he is always right, and this happens even when others wish him only the best. And there are plenty of such examples in batting, when a bettor makes excellent progress, but at the same time his addiction develops so much that his family and friends are already beginning to dissuade him from this occupation, but this guy is so confident in himself and considers himself the coolest that he himself goes into the abyss.

It is good to be confident in yourself but it is not at all right to be overconfident, as a result the amount of loss can increase many times. Being greedy through gambling is not at all right, as a result gambling cannot be managed in a disciplined manner by following the right rules. From my point of view, gambling is mainly for entertainment, it is not at all right to choose gambling to earn money, one cannot be too confident through gambling because the results of gambling are completely unpredictable. I gamble with the mentality of losing money, as a result I can keep a cool head and maintain self-control over myself and enjoy the fun of gambling and protect myself from addiction.

Planning ahead on how to spend every cent in gambling is something some gamblers ignore and later blame the gambling platform for their own naive mistake, which could have been prevented from the get-go.
Another area where some people misunderstand is the mental maturity to gamble profitably, which can also be categorized as gambling psychology instead of having the impression that gambling is mainly depend on luck when there are activities and features needed to pave way the luck.

When we're in the casino playing any game involving machines, luck determines whether we win or not. Everything changes when we bet on sports There, we must be a little more careful because it's our responsibility to bet for the sake of betting when we know that betting responsibly and with knowledge of sports is what makes us win So there's a big difference.
