Don't overthink -WIN

[hedgeh0g]

There are many more or less confident people who overthink and become so confident about some games that they always think that they will definitely win the game but lose at the last moment. I have definitely been in such a situation. I have been in such a situation a few times. I always thought that I would win today's bet but in the end I had to lose that bet. Here, overconfidence actually forces us to do such a situation. Actually, overconfidence is necessary in sports betting because without overconfidence, we would never be able to bet.

At the beginning of my journey, I thought too much, maybe this did not allow me to become a professional poker player, I started playing too tight, this isolation definitely influenced me. Often I did not take risks; professionals knew how to do this, as well as lose in the moment, realizing that this action was profitable in the long run. But these are just my guesses that this prevented me, now I no longer want to try this, understanding many things, because I will not have patience or I will be weak in other things.

You are right. Overthinking is just another way of giving yourself very high expectations for your games, such that when things don't go as expected, the loss hurts even deeper. Everyone wants to win, but I would rather advise that they keep an open mind. Analyze your bets well, be confident, enjoy the process, bet with what you can afford to lose, and relax. Whatever the outcome is, accept it and move on. No overthinking, no high expectations, and no overconfidence because the game can take a different turn even with all the effort put into it.
Gambling is unpredictable, so you cannot be so sure it will go as you have predicted.

Honestly overthinking is causing anxiety and depression for person, and that’s why what ever situations that he/she find themselves the best thing is too remain silent and pray for better days ahead than thinking about different things; most of the gambles done analysis their bets well which is why most of they lose and when their losing instead of them to think wisely and reduce the money they use bet, but they will be thinking that if they bet with large amounts of money the return will be higher they don’t know that the gambling doesn’t works in that way.

I totally agreed with you, and this is just the honest words, because its not a wise decision for one to overthink something or situation they are into, as their heads will be running to and fro, which they can't make better decisions or choice out it and this will surely make them not to pass their loss, that is to say that they will want to chase after their losses and this will have to cause them more hard because of their inability to control themselves. Its better to remain silent because sometimes silent is the best answer.

Winning in gambling is not what we can overthink, it comes to us naturally and even in most times when we least expect it, we should also not relent on our effort as part of what could grant us the privilege of winning when we gamble, because as we anticipate for winning, we are also expected to have it in mind that we may not see this happening but otherwise, and the best approach to gambling is by taking it as a means of entertainment whereby we have fun playing irrespective of the outcome to win or lose.

The reason why gambling is made is because for people to be entertained through and not the other way round. Though, you are right that our feelings can pop up at any time, and we can't really control how we feel at times. But, its also expected of us to always be ready to receive whatever thing that gambling got to offer us, because it is clearly said that gambling is both for profit and loss and that is what makes it a game, forgetting that part its not the healthy way to gamble.

Overthinking is not going to solve any problem at all and that is why it is better to look for a solution to a problem that is on ground than to try to mislead yourself by lamenting or worrying yourself about that same problem.
Gambling as side effect especially for those gamblers that don't have time for themselves and all they care about is how they could make quick profits from betting. Betting should be seasonal since making money from it can not be certain. It is better we gamble less and use the other time to do reasonable things that will be profitable for us like investments.

Just few gamblers are being entertained now, most gamblers are just doing it because they want to make money, and if they end up losing, they going to be depressed. If you are gambling, don’t be carried away, and always have it in might that you can lose at any money, don’t be so confident that you are going to win whenever you are gambling, because their is not always assurance that you going to win whenever you are gambling. Gambling is suppose to be for entertainment, but some people are regretting why they started gambling.

Yea almost all Casino, luck plays a big role even in sport betting but in sports betting some gamblers has what we call skill but the skill doesn't guarantee winning though it can help reduce loss and also take us sometimes to a near mis which sometimes I don't really like because its hurt more to have a near miss than not to have it at all that is losing at start or in the middle of the game while it's running. I don't really like Casino because I ain't go at it and doesn't favor me like sports betting.

I really like what you say. The word "skill" is something truly great For me, skill, combined with study and everything that can be exchanged with friends in different ways whether on social media or at meetings all of this has a significant influence and helps one become truly enriched Therefore, to become an expert, things have to be done this way so that each day is much better. The ultimate goal is to make money.

It happens because their common sense has been closed by ambitions that are actually not too reasonable to force, even though from the beginning they knew that gambling was just one of their ways to enjoy life but instead it was used as an ambition to cultivate profits in the hope of getting decent results for their finances.

On the one hand this also happens to be an expression or desperation of someone with their financial condition because consciously or not those who gamble for income or with the aim of changing the living conditions they live in come from those who are poor and make the money they get from their daily work as a gamble to survive  so it is quite natural that there will be many people who are depressed by this condition because they expect too much for gambling.

most of the gambles done analysis their bets well which is why most of they lose

And you think that when someone carefully analyze a match or a game is when he's guaranteed of a winning?  hell no! I disagree with that, if a player like he can keep analyzing for a whole year if luck isn't there to set him free then he is just waisting his time for all I care.  Assuming a good analyst is what we need to get a positive result in all of our gaming streak then I don't think that the casinos and others will still be in business till date, perhaps players would've run them try with constant winning that am not even sure they would have been able to meet up again.

[ZeroVinsonN]

I have absolutely nothing against your choices, I'm just saying that even with all that winning still isn't guaranteed, anyone can employ what ever strategy they believe will give them the win and if it works for them then who am I to condemn it, plus playing by the odds is still the most likely way to win it is not guaranteed but it is more likely, and that why teams that are more likely to win are given way smaller odds than their opponents, it's simply the logical thing to do.

You can’t make bets based only on low odds, because favorites lose too, and they lose quite often. That also means that there can be many mistakes in the pre-match odds set by bookmakers. Before placing a bet, you need to evaluate how important the match is for the favorite, or whether they already have a comfortable points advantage and may save energy for a more important upcoming game. So, low odds can never guarantee you a win.

Nothing ever guarantees a win in gambling as far as I am concerned, if your choices work out for you then you are in luck if they don't then you simply have to let it go and yes even though they do not win all the time, low odd win more often than not, that much cannot be denied the major reasons why even with knowing who's more likely to win things don't still work out is simply because the matches are played by Humans and that alone introduces human error in anything they are doing.

No guarantee someone will win even if he have good skills in analyzing. The game can changing the direction without we know so no guarantee you can win.

We can let the result comes after we place our bet and not think much as we really don't know if our prediction are right. We need luck to win and with a good analysis, that will helps us to win. So no need to expect to high as that can makes us sad if we lose.

[junder]

The truth about gamble is that if we get too attached to winning or let's say the money we will get from gamble then we are actually doing ourselves more harm than good because winning doesn't just come but it only does come when the gambler is extremely lucky. In most cases, a gambler can experience a cut one (9/10) from his bet and such thing literally makes the gambler increase his stake or chase after his losses because such thing is actually looks like a near miss.

However, with the name gambling, it involves luck and it can also be said that this luck determines the victory that can be obtained, because some games that can be increased chances of winning with skill and knowledge but in the end luck also determines the end. And the advice when gambling is not because of this near win to make gambling continue again.

Sometimes a gambler's desire to think again can really lead to bad consequences, if the gambler or bettor stuck to his strategy and saw that it was not working at the initial stages, then he might start to change it a lot. He needs to understand why he just miscalculated somewhere and make sure that it works. But many gamblers stop thinking with their heads and start thinking only with their hearts, let's say, and they are ready to turn their strategy 180 degrees. And this is wrong. They just needed to calmly analyze their mistakes. Or even better, just calculate everything at the very first stage and constantly check with the very first plan.

It's possible that they're just panicking seeing that they're losing money that shouldn't have been in the game, and these gamblers. It is very difficult for them to focus on the fact that they need to redo their strategy, and at the same time they need to find money as "fuel" to continue the search for this most miraculous strategy. And yet, most likely, they are accused by their friends and relatives that these gamblers could have done something better, more effective. therefore, there is a tremendous amount of pressure on them, which is incredibly difficult to deal with.

Basically, there is no guarantee of "winning" in gambling; even very unexpected outcomes can occur, and maybe, that is what the OP meant. Personally, I have experienced it, and have often seen very unexpected results in matches. Whether it is a match between a weak team, and a very strong team, or a victory for a team, that wasn't expected to win. Well, I don't really understand whether this is all really business or not, but I am sure anything can happen, right?

Therefore, I don't really consider gambling to be a profitable venture every time, and I believe it is important to bet with money you "can afford to lose" in any given session, regardless of the type of gambling.

The first thing that will help in not having undue expectations that may result in disappointment is realizing that there is no assurance that one will be winners. Unexpected shocks in sport are the order of the day and poor teams may turn around to beat the giants. Admittedly, it is a rule that you need to spend money, which you could take the chance of losing, so that the unexpected spendings in the field would not help to slap on your equilibrium and overall finances.

[Peanutswar]

Have you ever been in a situation where you were too confident on a game, but still lost in the end? That is usually because we are overthinking. We focus too much on the stats we see and think that is already enough to win, but in reality, it is not that simple. The oddsmakers also know those stats, and they set the line based on how people are likely going to think.

~

I do always experience this previously because I do always checking the statistics of the team and of course if they had a good performance and a good game result and the odds are into them of course I will make a bet but again we cannot remove this consideration that its sports betting possible just a single mistake can make the table turns instantly and the other team wins the game. Still there is a risk yeah but of course that's how gambling works, not all the team our favorite team wins the game.

Hell no as in you can't do the same or hell no that people don't do such? Because there are many gamblers that are still doing it, when a game or match is coming up that's when some gamblers will start screaming a sure bet like they have seen the future.

I've learnt from people that you can't be too sure of anything in this world, apart from gambling even our lives aren't certain to reach a time or period in the future, once you start living base on what life throws at you there will be this free feeling in the mind.

You probably missed the context of the thread, because the thing that is being discussed here is betting (sports betting) and not gambling. I know that it's also a type of gambling, but gambling in general, like playing gambling games, is different than making bets or doing sports betting, because in gambling or casino games, we totally depend on our luck to make us win, but in sports betting, your knowledge and experience can be very useful because you can't just make guesses about which side is going to win and be correct most of the time, but if you have knowledge and experience, you can make more correct guesses than wrong ones.

What we are discussing here is that we shouldn't overthink before making our bets on certain games only because we believe that the odds are aligning with our thoughts or decisions, so they should be correct, because sometimes, the odds might not give you the right answer or be correct all the time. We know that oddsmakers usually make those odds based on past stats and current form of teams/players, but going with the odds all the time could make you lose sometimes.

And then I even laughed. Why? What does it mean to bet on an event that has no concrete details? An infinite number of variables that even the most modern computers can't control. They can't even foresee the future. This is a path that humans and all technological solutions cannot penetrate. Want to fool God himself? I can only wish you success in this endeavor. You shouldn't play with fire. It's incredibly dangerous.
