Betting on major competitions

[GiftedMAN]

I agree that having the right mindset about gambling helps gamblers make better gambling choices. Imagine doing the right thing but for the wrong reason, it'll basically be the same as doing the wrong thing, so even if there's really nothing wrong with gambling, how a person chooses to approach gambling can really make the whole thing look like a very bad thing, and thus becomes very easy to make mistakes or drift off course.

Some people who are into gambling doesn't seems to consider these reasons, they believe that one has to use money to chase money, so approaching gambling to make money through it, its not a bad idea to their them, not know that they are endangering themselves in the future and just as you said, one might be doing the right thing for the wrong reason and this makes a lot of gamblers to have some challenges with the way they gamble.

Well saying you need money or has to use money to chase money isn’t a wrong theory, at least not in other areas of finance, like business, investment, trading and other things, but when it comes to gambling this is half truth, because in gambling there’s not assurance of getting that money and even though there are actually chances of success, we need to understand that the chances are relatively low.

A few years ago, I started betting because of the World Cup
At the time, I didn’t even know what BTC was, and if my memory serves me correctly, it was during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa

And even today, I still enjoy betting more and even set aside more money just for these competitions

Do you guys also place more bets during the World Cup, for example?
Do you set aside a separate bankroll for this competition?

First of all, I'm a draw specialist, so I don't think I will bet on the World Cup tournament. However, I have already decided to take a break and refreshing for some time, because we all know how hard it is to predict draws, talk les of this World Cup tournament.

So the only good thing I can do for myself is to be patient and wait for the next season to start before I start my predictions. Anyways, let's see how it goes.

Players, especially newbies, need to understand that those bragging about their winnings are just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath that are those who have lost, quite heavily, and they won't be quick to share their painful experiences. Some simply find it difficult to talk about their losses, others find it shameful and remain silent. But the key is realizing that there are many such people. This made me realize at one point that I need to take things more realistically, rather than building castles in the air. In reality, it's best to be prepared for losses, and it's better to simply be prepared in advance and understand what we'll do in such a situation to avoid breaking down.

Nope, as long as I love the game I will probably bet on it not just because it's a major event. I think it's really great to just bet on it considering it's much easier to really place your bets on your favorite team and not just randomly and besides it's really great and at the same time you get that morale lifted even if you're just watching. I think I can make an exception for this one in the future.

In theory should be easier to win in such leagues but as we have seen many times a lot of surprise results have happened there thus not giving guarantees to anyone that it is as easy as people think. Personally I have chosen to play a bet today in not major or well known leagues like Premier League but a game in Finland 2 where Haka ex Champions are facing last place, I see more value in this bet than in Arsenal over goals or both teams to score. Maybe it becomes a losing one but to me this is the best bet for today.

The increased adrenaline rush when your favorite team plays is a great incentive why so many people would prefer to remain engaged in betting. The move not to take random bets shows that you have a great appreciation of the quality of the personal competition you are in. We can agree that it is worthwhile to mark a special event, and the further exceptions will give your experience of a devoted follower of football a special touch.

I don't usually do sports betting much. I honestly enjoy casino and slot games more. But yes I want to bet on the World Cup this time, because the vibe of the World Cup is different. Watching matches with friends and having a little fun bet increases the excitement even more.

But one thing I always believe in, bankroll management over emotion. So of course there will be a fixed budget. Because many people lose control in the excitement of a tournament, but for me the most important part of gambling is knowing your limits.

In my case the World Cup is one more excuse to have a better chance of getting some extra wins, I will have to increase my weekly budget when the World Cup starts, it is usually fixed at $10 a week but surely ONLY during the World Cup period will it be at $20.
A risk I want to take, it won't last long but it will be worth it, the World Cup is interesting and always offers emotions.

Quite agreeable. A lot discussions pertaining gambling is often heavily biased towards winners, and I figured out this is often because losers are barely openly discussed. This shifts the attention of a lot of people to from the high possibilities of losses to the only seeing the big wins, since that’s what’s mostly shared everywhere. This calls for having a realistic mindset and accepting that losses are inevitable and avoidable as long as gambling is concerned, as this helps gamblers remain balanced emotionally and also avoid making silly mistakes.
