Do you consider yourself a smart bettor?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Sports betting or casino game the luck plays the major role so if someone is trying to outsmart the system, house edge they will end up regretting that so as a smart bettor they can try it with minimal bet and I am sure they will not be having success with any strategies at all when it comes to being profitable.

I don't rule out the possibility of being profitable in sports betting, but of course it requires a strong collaborative effort This also includes monitoring the social media of everything that happens, and that takes time Furthermore, it would be wise to focus on just one sport, or even just one league, so that the analysis is robust and has many validations from the bettor, Perhaps that would bring you closer to the success of winning the bet.

Yes, I consider myself as a smart gambler, and the reason why I consider myself this way is because I am gambling for the right thing which is fun and not money making anyone who is gambling just to make money is not a smart gambler because is not something that one should be considered as a business but as an entertainment that gives happiness, the reason why a lot of people get addicted to gambling is because they wanted to make money from gambling and when they lose they try to win their money back, if you are a gambler and you don’t do all this things then you are a smart gambler, so I will always see myself as someone that is smart when it comes to gambling because I gamble for fun alone.

Overall, this is true, but I would add that a smart player understands how much they are willing to spend on games and what the consequences might be. A smart player clearly understands how much they are willing to spend on games and keeps track of their spending per month, quarter, or year. If the balance is already completely negative, then a smart player will clearly stop playing, as they are simply making the casino richer and themselves poorer.

An intelligent punter would be one who realizes that gambling is more about entertainment, other than a sure means of money-making. Having begun to pursue profits, people are inclined to make emotional decisions which cause greater losses. Being intelligent implies having some boundaries, having a budget and being okay with the losses without necessarily having to get them back within the same time. Another thing that is involved is monitoring expenditure and understanding when to stop. When gambling has ceased to be fun and has become a financial liability then the best thing to do is to walk away.

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.

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.

You see, I have being losing my bets and it doesn't get to me that bitterly that am losing, or even losing more than am winning on profit level. This because am managing my bankroll in the measure that it equates with what I can afford losing regardless of how many times or sessions am gaming.  It just has to be that way, putting everything together in one piece without losing control on one side especially the side which is within your control to manage.

A smart bettor could have the determination to do things accordingly when gambling, so that he can't afford to miss out on any opportunity for him to enjoy every moment spent on gambling.

Furthermore, given a smart bettor, another unique identifier is when someone knows what he is doing and has focus on not being distracted along the way as he gambles, responsible gambling is also needed and can be considered as one of the means through which he can be black and show himself approved, because things are being done in accordance with how they are expected.

A smart gambler is someone that knows when to stop gambling and when to give it a try. We are not supposed to be gambling everyday even if you are making profits everytime you decided to gamble. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you could not concentrate on yourself and you decided to gamble.
A smart gambler will be ready to leave gambling after he is able to secure some profits which supposed not to be a very big profits per say.

You are absolutely right, the word intelligence when applied to gambling is something that gives great importance because we should all see it as what we are capable of imagining that can happen and how we should avoid it, that is what should be seen, however, an indication of intelligence in gambling is something simple, not losing money or not losing so much money.

[Odusko]

Sometimes yes, other time no, I can consider myself a smart gambler only when I begging to gain more money than I have lost previously, this way I have withdrawn the said winning and managed not to get into gambling again immediately, at such point I consider my step as a smart step, but sometimes I can get carried away to believe I can recover my lost by gambling more and in the end, the outcome becomes ugly and unwise for me.

Indeed, this is what smart gambling is all about, knowing when to indulge In it and also knowing when to avoid it makes one smart. The problem with a lot of gamblers Is that they don't know when to stop and this is what makes them lose a lot of money in the long run. Leaving gambling after making profit for a while is one way to avoid unnecessary losses as a disciplined gambler.

The most rational aspect in the assurance of the outcomes that we have acquired earlier is firmness in terms of operational deadline. In my opinion, failure to pull out of profitable position is a significant contributor to bankruptcy. Having a balance between taking the risk and stopping at the right time when we achieve where we aim to is going to make us financially stable in future. You are correct that greed is a vice that one must control themselves on.

You are right. With many years of experience and the ability to do deep analysis, it is possible to be profitable in sports betting. However, nothing can be guaranteed in gambling. Many times, strong teams that are sure to win also lose. It is important to analyze a match properly before betting. In this case, many  accurate information is needed. After analyzing all kinds of data, a possible prediction can be made. But many things can happen after the match starts. Which is not possible to know before the match starts. That is why there is always risk in all types of gambling. It is not possible to say for sure that there will be a profit.

You're absolutely right. The only advantage I can see is that a bettor with considerable experience can make the difference when they truly know when to bet and when not to. Sometimes, if you're not very sure, things come down to not betting, regardless of the emotions and desires you have at that moment. But if you have enough confidence and clarity, it's possible to say no more and to do everything possible not to bet on that game.

Since I am able to set my limit and have a budget in time and bankroll for my gambling activities, either I win or not as long as am comfortable with my games and in as much as I follow the rules of the game and gamble with what I can afford, with not going to borrow to gamble,then I am okay.

[Yeesha]

I agree with your statement that we can only consider gambling as smartness by keeping our financial condition in check. You cannot consider yourself smart only if you win several times in a row while gambling because as the saying goes, it is difficult to protect yourself from achieving independence. It is possible to win several times from gambling but it is not easy to keep that won money and those who gamble win and lose again and again and thus they continue their gambling activity and many people destroy their financial capacity by exceeding their limitations but those who can maintain their limitations can keep their financial condition in check even if they cannot profit from gambling and these are the ones who can be called smart.

Exactly, if a gambler gamble without careful consideration he is not safe, a responsible gambler will never neglect or ignored his responsibilities just to focus on gambling, you must ensure that you are financially secure to prevent financial mistakes in the future. Some usually uses what they earn from gambling to gamble for another round which is not secure, just as it is easy to win in gambling, it is also very very easy to lose everything with the twinkle of an eye, being it is very crucial to be caution in every step you take as a gambler to ensure effective maintenance for your finances.

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?

I'd say i'm quite smart when it comes to gambling discipline, especially in avoiding addiction and preventing major losses, and i'm proud of that. lol

But when it comes to actually winning, especially hitting big wins, i can't say i'm that smart or lucky. I'm also not smart/skilled enough to come up with strategies that consistently increase my chances of winning. lol

[Dunamisx]

That I'm not winning my bet does not makes me not to stand the position of being a smart bettor, gambling is all about entertainment and this does not matter if we are winning or losing, a smart better knows what is right for him to do at the right time, also manages the risk in gambling and does not maintain disorderliness in gambling, plan things accordingly and consider the risk involved before taking a decision to stake a bet.

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?

I've never considered myself a smart gambler. But for me, a great or intelligent person at gambling is one who gambles but maintains their sanity. They don't waste time and money or even harm themselves.
But honestly, what you said about intelligent people still gambling is like someone who looks stupid, they know gambling is destroying them but they still gamble as if they do. Even though someone gambles may have a different goal. Gambling isn't always an escape from life's problems.

I think the smart gambler is the one who knows how to manage his funds and how not to risk more money in single bet for a single game or bet. If one is able to control his emotions that's the biggest advantage one can have in gambling and that is indeed the success for him. A gambler cannot stop himself from losing as you will lose some games and win some games but what he can do that he can limit his losses always if he is not risking more. That's a secret of success. 😉

We can become disciplined and responsible by setting our own limits and accepting risks. This prevents us from making impulsive decisions. There is certainty in gambling. Therefore, even with intelligence and experience, every decision we make does not guarantee a sure win. Responsible gamblers never see gambling as a source of income and understand it as entertainment, and accordingly, they take risks according to their capabilities and make decisions after considering the losses. The most important thing in gambling is self-control. Intelligence is not revealed by winning, but by controlling one's own risks and behavior.

Yea, I do agree with you, being smart as a gambler is not determined by how  often the person is winning because in the games of luck where skill does not play a roll, the frequent win that someone would experience is just based on luck and not nothing skill, so if the person is smart, they know the best decisions to take at the right time and the person also knows that discipline is important in gambling.

[Mate2237]

Can anyone be actually considered as a smart better when it comes to gambling, I don't actually think so because you can't outsmart the Casino in the real sense. Those who think themselves to be smart has found out later to have lost massively while gambling, what is most important when it comes to gambling is just self control and the need to have a limit and line while gambling.


Gambling should never be a thing someone should even be talking about outsmarting because the Casino is always ahead of us as gambler's. Even if you become lucky and win big while gambling you should not take it as been smart because you're just lucky.
