Do you consider yourself a smart bettor?

[Lida93]

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?

Can say about the control. And someone who's good in controlling emotions and their bankrolls can be said to be a smart bettor. Because some are lucky and winners and yet, they don't know how to manage the amount of money that they have won. So, it's better to lose and risk small and you're still fine without having the thought of chasing that. While the winners who are lucky yet not smart will find regret it that they are not smart when they still have the money and the chase will start from that point until they lose everything.

I think agree with you about this, because for you to be smart it must start with how you managing your bankroll and your profits you're making and not about how many winning streaks you probably having with each gambling sessions. I can be that fairly lucky to be making profit and still be losing it back to the house, in real sense that's not profit at all and it doesn't make for a smart gambler either because there's a lack of discipline there.

Smartness in gambling is undeed in your bankroll management this is very important so that wether you win or lose your bet, you won't be effected to the extent of not having the fun you desire, this is so because most gambler's tend to get too involved with the winning thing that they lose their focus sometimes and leaving behind a bad experience for themselves, this is the most emotional thing that happens in their gambling experience, I think gambling principles and management comes after your decision to gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose and still have fun.

I understand what you are trying to say, you mean you can't gamble with the profits you gain from gambling, I also agree with what you said, because somethings by doing so, a gambler will find it very difficult to figure out where their money is going to. Just because you win once or for the first time doesn't mean you will always win, so that shouldn't motivate you to gamble with the profits that you made because you might end up losing them, most especially if care is not taken. Being a gambler require discipline, and it important for you to be your own disciplinary committee in order to prevent yourself from crossing the boundaries or going beyond your limits. Correct yourself before anyone does, that is exactly what we refer to self awareness.

Because the profits that we make are not often happening. We know that, we're all gamblers and that's why if you can minimize the loses that you will take. Then, that's a smart move and you can give yourself a pat in the back for minimizing it. Not all gamblers who wins a lot, keeps a lot. As they win, they're also losing a lot and that's where the control gets in. Control of how much you keep, and get to spend.

Luck or self-control alone isn’t enough in betting, to be a successful bettor you need to be a good analyst in order to place good bets. Discipline is also very important, you need a clear plan for what to do in case of a win or a loss, so you can stick to it and not give in to emotions. Betting is a very complex activity, and it’s also very difficult to make money from it. You can only succeed if you are a disciplined and skilled player. In any other case, it’s better to treat betting as entertainment and play with small amounts of money.

[r_victory]

Even if I don't win all the bets I make and spend money on it, I consider myself a smart gambler because I don't allow myself to spend more than I should, because I haven't become compulsively dependent on this habit, and because I know I can stop whenever I want. If I wanted to make a profit, I would open a business, not gamble (before anyone says anything, I certainly gamble to win, but profit is another matter).

You don't have to a success bettor because it's hard to get onto that point when you're just trying to win some and enjoy those bets. I agree that discipline is very important and that's also part of self control. Because both of it compliments each other when a gambler has that attitude. They know how to make the bad situation into a good one, and won't be overwhelmed if ever they've won so much already.

[Jody.Drummer]

Perhaps we’ll find more people who claim to be smart gamblers, but the reality might be quite different from what they say. In my opinion, only a few people can gamble very smartly, and by “smart” here, I mean they can control themselves well in any situation that arises while gambling whether they’re losing or not and they can make the right decisions. People like this are rare. I myself sometimes still forget my limits, so I don’t consider myself a smart gambler, but I still try to prevent bad things from happening because of my own actions.

I agree. Some rare people can do such a feat.

Control is something we do not acquire like a skill or a talent. It comes from discipline. A smart bettor will probably say "it's enough" once he loses 1 percent of his salary, while a stupid one will keep on going even though the odds are against him.
I believe we should always have a clear mind when we are gambling. That's also part of being in control and being smart. When we are thinking clearly, we rarely make mistakes, and we don't make stupid moves that will ruin us financially.

Yes, for some people, one bet is enough, whether they win or lose, and that applies to those who can control themselves well or those who gamble intelligently, which of course, there are not many people like this, even I myself have not dared to admit that I am a smart gambler, but I try my best not to get close to addiction. And being able to control your thoughts is also one of the things that needs to be maintained if you can initially establish a good mindset, but with changes that occur, such as greed or other things, it is a common thing that will definitely happen when we gamble, even the chances can be said to be big.

Being an intelligent bettor does not necessarily mean winning but having managed the risks and emotional control in a good manner. I concur that discipline and self-control are a must since in absence of these even fortunate players are prone to lose all their fortune by gambling or by spending too much. An intelligent punter is also analytic and therefore, makes decisions based on their informed judgment rather than being impulsive. But we must admit that it is extremely hard to make a profit in betting on a regular basis. This is why it is more prudent to treat betting as entertainment, limit the limits and plan, instead of using it as a constant stream of income.

Yes, I will consider myself a smart bettor , not winning doesn’t make me  less , I have been playing for sometime without winning  , it’s more of entertainment and having experience that comes from it , it shows I can manage risk and bankroll, it shows I don’t allow my emotions to control me , and have a good mindset towards gambling, with all this one can be considered a smart bettor .

Being profitable at gambling is limited to very small percentage of gamblers. A lot of us loose at the game and their is nothing surprising about that.

However, being able to manage your loss, your bankroll and the wins really do come in play to make you a smart gambler. It ensures that, at the end of the day, even if you do lose more often than you win, you don’t really have much for concerns because, you are well within your limits and you don’t go way above thresholds that would put your finances at greater risk.

Yes, what you said is true, the point is that smart gamblers are those who are not affected by whatever results they get, simply when they win they are happy and enjoy it and when they lose they remain normal and consider that it is a natural part of the game, smart gambling depends on how you respond and treat it, the main point is to be responsible.

I share the same idea that it takes discipline to become a good bettor rather than to win regularly. Fortune may be temporary because it can lead to temporary success, but lack of control over bankroll will result in easily losing the fortunes. An intelligent gambler is masterful, draws boundaries, and never recovers losses or recklessly gambles away his/her fortune one more time. Gambling never guarantees success and winning once should not make one become a false expert. As a matter of fact, the most important thing is to be able to control yourself and be consistent as this will be able to save your money and your judgment in the long run.

Many of us here have been gambling for years already. If we look at it honestly, some people would probably say it’s stupid to keep gambling if we’re not actually making money from it. Yet we’re still here, still betting, still following games and odds. So can we really call ourselves smart bettors if we’re losing in the long run? Or is that just something we tell ourselves so it’s easier to keep gambling?

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?

If you are writing about sport betting I must admit that I don't consider myself good better. My sports predictions are not very good and I have a lot of bad bets in my bet history. That is understandable as I am not very big sport fan, I just make casual bet from time to time...

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying. Smart bettors doesn't convert into being profitable and consistent winning. But it can also be said that you're aware on how much risk you're taking and how consistent you are in stopping the losses that are coming out to you. Controlling of the influx and losses that you're getting and how you'll be able to do that shows that you're a smart guy and by that means, you're a smart bettor.

I totally agreed with you, most people think that being smart is about to outsmart the system by making sure they win all time, that is to say that they believed that being smart in gambling involves profit. Meanwhile, being smart is about having the ability and the mindset of managing their bankroll, which can make them to stick to the right way of gambling and find it easy to control their emotions in order not to chase after their losses, especially if the game is not going as plans.

[silpersurfer]

Both sports betting and casino games I feel bad about what I have done so far in the world of gambling, fewer wins than losses there is no record that I feel great if calculated in my accumulated betting data, sometimes maybe I feel great when I occasionally win parlay bets or casino games to very large winnings, but yes that situation is very rare, saying myself great is the same as deceiving myself which in fact is a stupid bettor.
Smart bettors with high win rates are very rare, but if intelligence is judged by managing emotions and finances maybe I can admit it.

[fredericktaylor]

I think that if I can control my emotions through gambling and take time after winning or losing, then I can protect myself from big losses in gambling. There is no surefire way to win while gambling, because gambling results are completely unpredictable. However, when we understand the risks of gambling and gamble with money that we can afford to lose, then we are definitely smart. There is no confirm of winning money through gambling, so smart people always gamble for entertainment with money that they can lose, not with the mindset of making money.

No gamblers that have been playing games for one year that has not win betting. He has won but the days of losing are more that the winning and the amount he has loss is bigger than the amount he has won. And he is still gambling because if those wins has incurred which has make him to believe that he will win big one day.

The most important thing is to be paзyмным enough to treat gambling as entertainment and not let it cause harm financially or emotionally. I don’t think this requires many years of experience, simple common sense is enough, along with an understanding of what needs gambling is fulfilling, in order to control your behavior without problems.
