“Sports betting strategy”

[Muba20]

IMHO, any specific strategies that we do could still result in random results.
To be honest, if someone wants to be profitable at the end of the month. There's a need to balance the betting size and the emotion.
You'll get to bet only to the games that you are specifically aware of and have more knowledge with and not to randomly bet any games you wish to because you have a goal that you're focus to see at the end point.

Although being profitable at the end of the month or in the long run is not guaranteed no matter how emotionally disciplined you might be. But there is a high chance of achieving this if you practice risk management and you are actually disciplined. A lot of gamblers win more in the long run this doesn't mean that they don't incur losses but their strategy puts them in profit in the long run.

Some gamblers have more losses than wins. There are a small number of gamblers who can make profit. In gambling, we know that everything depends on luck, but if someone can control himself and manage gambling and acquire good skills in proper risk management and money management, then in the long run, although the profit will not be much, there will be no much loss. As much as we say, it is not possible to make a profit in gambling without luck, but everything does not happen only by relying on luck. If a gambler controls himself and manages gambling with proper skills and experience, then his chances of making a profit are relatively high.

Still heavy on this, there are no strategies when it comes to betting. Specifically when it comes to sports betting because the games are very unpredictable and regardless of the stats of the last 5 games or so, the team can still under or over perform, so regardless on what ever strategy you want to use, the unpredictability will still come to play

I don't understand what you meant by their are not strategies when you are gambling.
Apart from getting lucky to make profits from gambling, you need strategy and skill that will help you so you can make profits when you gamble. Sport bettors have their own strategy that is helping them to make profits from betting.

In sports betting, it is not necessarily based on luck, especially in sports betting, there are many other factors such as statistical analysis, current form of teams, players' conditions, and many more that help increase the chances of winning in sports betting, and these require skill to study, not luck. Although the importance of luck cannot be denied in the end, skill is definitely needed in sports gambling, because while it does not guarantee victory, it does provide a good chance.

Yes, that's right. Football betting doesn't always have to rely on luck, although luck also plays a role in winning.

When betting on sports it's crucial to consider squad depth, team position, the lineups the coaches will field in the match and consider the h2h ratio for both teams, as this will certainly have an impact. However, we also need to consider the motivation of both clubs. For example, teams that have already secured the league title won't play as aggressively in the remaining matches, especially with the World Cup coming up in a few months, so every player will be playing cautiously to avoid injury.

Betting on teams like Barcelona, ​​Inter and Munich is very risky now with the remaining league matches because their motivation is no longer as strong as when chasing trophies. The bottom line is that when betting on football, we must analyze the condition of both teams.

Good afternoon, dear gamblers!

What do you think — is there any strategy that actually lets you win consistently on sports betting and finish every month in profit ? 

I’ve been trying to bet on favorites with odds around 1.4–1.7, but I still end up in the negative by the end of the month. Maybe betting on favorites is a bad strategy, so I’m thinking about switching things up. 

What would you guys recommend when it comes to sports betting strategies? (please) 

To be honest, i believe there’s no strategy that can guarantee consistent profits, let alone generate profits every month in sports betting, it’s not just difficult, but it seems impossible. Even someone who’s been in the sports betting game for a long time would struggle to achieve consistent profits. It’s true that lower odds seem safer, but a single loss can wipe out many previous wins. I think you just need to set a budget and lower your expectations, if luck is on your side, you’re bound to win.

I think you have confused between casino & sports betting, there is some difference between these two, like casino is luck-based gambling. Hence, it is almost impossible to win by applying any strategies here; casino gambling is very unpredictable. So no one can guarantee a sure win here; it is much riskier than sports betting. You said Sports betting is unpredictable, I don't agree with you, because its outcome will depend on how much analysis and strategies you apply. It is possible to predict many things here, because you have the opportunity to choose your favorite strong team and bet. It can be said that in sports betting, a win is not guaranteed. However, it is possible to increase the chances of winning by relying on strategies.

Let me explain what I was saying. Betting is an unpredictable activity and the performance or the result cannot be Influenced by any external factor (excluding made up bets). Be it sport betting or casino as long as it is a gambling activity, irregardless of  "betting rollover strategy" or any other strategy, it still doesn't affect the final result.

Imagine if you study the analysis of Team A Vs Team B and the last 5 matches proves Team A is clearly the favourite but then as you have it when the game starts, team B wins. Now imagine your strategy of analysing game stats and see how it doesn't really affect the end result.
Now I'm not saying don't have strategy, infact another word for strategy in this context is "hope". So yes it is okay to have hope that you will win but I'm just saying hope gets you just as about as much as it can get you.

There has to be a difference between strategy and hope.
I will do rollover betting or I will study the last 5 matches of the team, all these don't affect the actual game you bet on, they only give you hope that you will win and of course we know life isn't always sugar and cake. I would like to think strategy is something you do and it will work if you stick with it consistently. You can decide to always analyse your game before you place a bet and you can still lose all 10/10, that's why it is gambling and also why you are advised to use money you can afford to lose. Any money you transfer to your betting account should be assumed gone already, even before you place any bet.

However I will admit you can plan and strategy on how to lose less money and I think you can achieve this by setting a clear definition of how much you want to spend, how many times/bets will you place in the session and how much is your winning/loss amount. If you then follow through, you will find your self being more intentional with the money you use to gamble.

It is actually possible for this to happen but the case is not the gambling strategy that is carried out but the strategy before gambling and after gambling in this case includes how our strategy manages finances in gambling as well as strategies on how to have limits and so that our discipline is gambling and others.

This allows you to feel profitable (regardless of the amount of luck you have) if you want to force yourself to say you are profitable in gambling but in the end this may not be effective for some people.  When we want to make a profit every month just gamble, win and don't gamble anymore it's already a profit but is this effective? Obviously not because we only see profits without caring whether we are comfortable or not with the gambling that is done. So here if it is only the basis of profit that you want to look for then gambling is not the right place and we better stop from now on because profit will not be found here.

I agree with you, to be consistent in sports betting you have to know a lot, the details of each team, each player, what happens even in the locker rooms, these are things that vary a lot, that's why in this aspect things are extremely difficult, I would say that in sports betting you have to be very inquisitive, now there are more facilities because social networks are a great relief, even so you have to be very studious about it.

Good point, when you have deeper knowledge and understanding about the game that you are placing your bet, it will be easier to pick which team or player have a good edge againts their opponents, though upset can happen but surely it gives decent edge when you did your research together with your knowledge about the game, not a guarantee but gives you confidence with your pick if you good strategy when playing/gambling.

You must use strategy, but never think about earning money from gambling, otherwise you will lose again and again. Here you will see more chances of profit, that is where you will want to bet. So in terms of betting, you must do research, determine the difference between the two teams, and compare the differences between the players and make a research between the two teams. Then it will be possible to increase your winnings, and you must follow the limits of money control.
It is not at all advisable to use more money in betting, so you have to control yourself in terms of money control, then you can increase your chances of winning in gambling.

Although being profitable at the end of the month or in the long run is not guaranteed no matter how emotionally disciplined you might be. But there is a high chance of achieving this if you practice risk management and you are actually disciplined. A lot of gamblers win more in the long run this doesn't mean that they don't incur losses but their strategy puts them in profit in the long run.

The truth is that it is not always easy to control how much you win or take out from gambling, whether in the short term or in the long term, but what's very possible is controlling how much you lose, especially in the long term, and this is often determined by the gambler's strategy and expectations from gambling. If your expectation is mostly keeping the entertainment and fun going in the long term, then it becomes pretty easy to avoid some unintended losses.

There are still many gamblers who do not understand this simple fact. They only think about profit and suffer repeated losses. Most gamblers start gambling because they are just playing for fun, but after some time, they cannot control their emotions and become addicted to gambling. After becoming addicted, they face repeated losses. After losing a large amount on the first day, they continue to gamble thinking about recovering the loss the next day. This kind of thinking increases the possibility of big losses.

If a gambler keeps thinking about recovering the loss, he will gradually lose his discipline. If he gambles without discipline, the gambler has to see big losses again and again. Therefore, before we start gambling, we have to limit our bankroll and increase self-control. If a gambler focuses on how much he can lose, instead of focusing on how much he can win in regular gambling, he will never become addicted to gambling.

It is absolutely true that it is never possible for anyone to win consistently through gambling, because the chances of winning can be increased by using strategies but winning is not possible for confirm. To win while gambling, we have to rely on luck. If luck is good then money can be gained through gambling. We can guess by using research or strategies, but our guess may not be correct at the end of the day. It is always important to be aware while gambling because the chances of losing money are high.

You'll get to bet only to the games that you are specifically aware of and have more knowledge with and not to randomly bet any games you wish to because you have a goal that you're focus to see at the end point.

The fact is, you won't be able to find that edge in the major leagues, no matter how much you know. From interviews with profitable sports bettors I’ve seen, they tend to agree that they find profitable edges in minor leagues. But even that has become more difficult in recent years. As for a predefined strategy—which is what the OP is looking for—there isn’t one; you can try to find a niche in sports and leagues that aren’t the major ones, but even that is difficult.

I agree, they're unstable or if someone finds it too stable but that can only happen in the beginning.
And the rest will be unknown and unstable. So looking for niche could be the right thing but, the next ones would be random results.

Though you may be very right but not always in most cases. You may decide initiating every idea or pattern that you can ever think of and still fail. It's just to stay in between by staking what you can afford to lose to avoid being unneccesary traumatized when things didn't happen the way you were expecting it. As a matter of fact, no one can boast of a consistent strategy as long as gamble is concern, is just for us to do what is expected and leave the rest in the hands of luck to take it cost.

Truly it is, there's no one who can say that they have a good strategy and became consistent with it.
The inconsistency for most strategies is known by an actual gambler or a sports bettor. We will all agree about that.
That's why even if someone finds an accurate one that works for them it won't be 100% for the most of them.
They'll have to deal still with losses.

There is no guarantee of a sure win no matter the strategy that you use to analyze games that you plan to bet on, it will always come down to that luck factor which doesn't really respect your strategy so you have to look beyond analytic strategies. It helps to bet on the teams that you are familiar with so that your chances of winning can increase as a result of your knowledge about them. Also bankroll management is another important strategy, using small amounts that you are comfortable to loose will help to reduce your risks Incase you lose the bet.

That is the strategy, to know the teams you're betting and that's what every sports bettor should know.
No assurance with all strategies but with that standard that you set for having to understand what you're betting for increases the chances.
And yet, when luck is there, it's truly defeating all of the best strategies out there and it's the perfect match for any applied strat.

Yes, that should be the norm for gamblers in sports betting. Although I did try to bet on sports that I'm not aware of, but I did get help from some gamblers here who are into that sport. Although I win, it's not enough for me as I don't want to rely on others.

I wanted to make my own analysis, and so with that, I only bet on them but still it's no guarantee. There is still this element of luck that we need to factor. So even if we lost  the bet, we shouldn't blame ourselves. It the nature of sports betting and gambling in general. You can't win all time time.

That's good one, if we lack of some ideas of what we're betting to. Better to listen to the ones with vast experiences and knowledge for that particular sports.
And this is what the forum is abundant with, we see for every sports there's a lot of gamblers who are sharing their analysis for each of it.
It's okay to bet on random sports but do it with an affordable amount to lose.

Although being profitable at the end of the month or in the long run is not guaranteed no matter how emotionally disciplined you might be. But there is a high chance of achieving this if you practice risk management and you are actually disciplined. A lot of gamblers win more in the long run this doesn't mean that they don't incur losses but their strategy puts them in profit in the long run.

I don't think that the high chance is there even if you do risk management. It's so random or very rare to see one do that.
But yeah, let's give it to that idea that there's the chance however a sportsbettor do it.
