Have you ever tried fading yourself in betting?

Like your first pick is one team, your gut says they will win, but your mind is like nah, this looks too easy, maybe it’s a trap again. Not really because you’re just overthinking, but because you already had that same experience before. The obvious side looks good, then suddenly it loses and you feel stupid for falling for it again.

So now you start doing the opposite of what you first wanted to bet. You fade yourself. But what if it actually works? Like you keep winning because you don’t trust your own first pick anymore.  So.. Would you still call that healthy gambling?

I have experienced this but just a thought, not by reducing the amount of bets that I do especially the amount I bet is in accordance with my own abilities so I still do it with the amount as usual.
 
Maybe out there there are like this even those who bet for profit may experience it more often. Apart from that, just believe in what we believe in ourselves anyway in terms of betting.

[bitbollo]

You had to gamble ALWAYS in a neutral way. There is no luck but just numbers and pure chances to win or to lose.
Just not care too much about your feelings, your decision, your first choice or whatever... you had to maximize your btc
Just play wise... Be the expert and not just a "lucky gambler".
That's why I completely dislike games based on "randomness" and not games where there are chance to play with "skills".

First of all, I do not see gambling as a means of making money. I can lose more than I win, I have no problem with that as long as I am using very little amount of money to gamble.

I have not felt this before, I make some analyses, choose a team that will likely win and bet on the teamm. That is how I am doing it without any second thought.

That's the key thing to understand about gambling, it's not a source of income. Honestly, if you gamble with only what you can afford to lose, you won't feel pain. You are not depending on the game, you're just there for the fun and entertainment. That's exactly how it's meant to be. There's no point stressing over it too much, because if luck isn't only your side, it won't happen. That's just the truth.

I have actually have tried fading myself in gambling, and it didn't work out for me
One time I picked 16 NFL games and faded myself; I went something like 3-13 fading my own plays

[Nrcewker]

It happens every time I place a bet. Instead of fading, I would say I get more emotionally confused while betting. Every time I bet, I feel like the opposite will happen, and because of that, I have incurred significant losses as well. After all, it’s my hard-earned money, right? So yes, a little bit of fading and emotions are mixed in. But in sports betting, if proper analysis is done, we can somehow reduce the risk involved. Because at the end of the day, it’s a game of luck.

This really happens to me often but it still doesn’t work 100% of the time. Whenever I want to bet on a team that looks much stronger than the opponent sometimes my gut feeling tells me to stay away from the match and then it turns out the stronger team loses to the weaker opponent. That kind of moment happens pretty often but the result isn’t always what my gut says since strong team is still a strong team. Well, I think we call it intuition when we already have some experience in gambling sometimes our intuition helps us choose something unexpected. It could also be our self discipline working, telling us not to get greedy by always choosing the team with the higher win-rate chance.

[Ishicryptic]

This is the uncertainties that suruounds sports bet and that is why it is gambling because you don't know for certain how a game will end so if you want to stake your money on a team or player you should know that there is no guarantee that it must happen as you predicted. This is why many experienced bettors will advice that we use only amounts that we are comfortable to loose to stake our bets. I think that when you make your picks and bet you should just relax and accept a win or lose, no need to be hard on yourself if you lose because whatever happens is by luck.

[Tetu100]

What we should really focus on is discipline in gambling. We should not think that we can win every day, or even win every month overall, because that is not the reality.
Even professional sports bettors have losing months, so for us casual bettors, we should be more realistic with what we can achieve.

Expecting winning always in gamble is not advisable and it's a red flag, gamble is a game of fun and not some kind of oil well or as a stream of income. People that see gamble from that angle don't alway end well because this can trigger some negative energy like lose chasing and can literally result addiction in most cases.

And also let's be more careful with the way we go about our gambling dealings because too much expectation in the game can result in to disaster and that is not what we want.

Things like this happen all the time probably from your stat and understanding a particular team is the favorite to win but your instincts tells you otherwise. Things like this will always keep on happening so long as gambling is concerned. The different choices was deliberately provided so bettors would have several options to pick and at the end lose the bet. With this knowledge every gambler should have it at the back of their minds that the system has always been rigged including sport betting and this is definitely the reason you would pick a different choice next time and same thing happens.

you see the thing sometimes with gambling is the mindset you built over it. If you have a clean and positive mindset towards gambling, it becomes easier for you to blend and enjoy the moment that comes with it but if you have the mindset of outsmarting gambling, you may end up not achieving anything tangible in gambling because gambling does not pay those who have greedy intentions towards it. It is definitely a sad experience for anybody who loses their money to gambling but it is even worse of an experience for those who loses their minds to gambling. Gambling addiction is a resulting effect of somebody who loses their mind to gambling and such experiences does not stop at addiction alone but also leads to losing more money to gambling too.

I've often found myself betting the opposite, even though my analysis and statistics from previous matches suggested I should bet on the favorite. Of course, statistics shouldn't be taken too seriously, as past results don't guarantee the same in a future match. But sometimes I just feel like a match will be different than before, so I bet on the underdog. I think professionals don't do that because they have a strategy, and relying on gut instincts without analysis isn't their style. I think it's better for me to simply reduce my stakes and just play for fun—that's probably the best solution, and bet on the teams I want to bet on. But then it's no different from being in a casino where we're completely at the mercy of luck.

If that’s working on your gambling then I consider it as healthy gambling unless this method doesn’t give you an entertainment or you didn’t enjoy doing it.

On financial standpoint, this is a healthy gambling since you are earning doing this method.

I always abstain betting whenever I feel confused or a bit of skepticism on a certain pick because there’s nothing to lose when I didn’t place bet on that particular moment.

I think every sports bettor remembers a time when nothing was working... like we were cursed or something. That's the moment when we start thinking maybe we should start betting on the opposite of what we think. And maybe that can work for a while, but no strategy works all the time. I guess all of us are just trying to survive the ups & downs...

But sooner or later, we realize that betting against ourselves creates a lot of confusion... So in these moments, when we don't trust our own thinking... maybe it's better to take a break. Of course, that can be a hard part, but it is what it is...

[vs2014]

This has happened to me many times and I have failed every time I try. To be honest I think that I will win just like everyone else does but in the end only a few people are lucky. I keep the winning mentality until the moment I place my bet but after I lose then I feel the loss. The main reason is that we do not have any discipline in gambling due to which we cannot accept losses. The reality is that we can win and lose at any time so we should accept the result easily by maintaining discipline. Many such sports bettors have also lost month after month but they have adapted to their situation.

[promise444c5]

I have a very bad feeling about it but my mind keep telling me to try it .. My luck  when it comes to such is pretty good [ironically].. there’s bookmaker there as well trying to manipulate my mind with all sort of odds lol.

I’m going to try it for a while, only when I doubt a game though .. But here’s my take, it might eventually works but there’s definitely coming a time when it will get messy.

Gambling will always have luck attached NMW..

You are right. In fact, since the result is uncertain, whether I win or lose the bet also depends on my luck. So there is no need to bet against my prediction . Because of this, the mental stress will actually increase. If I have to bet against my thinking and lose, then I will regret it even more. Because my thoughts were right, but had to lose by betting against my own prediction. So I think there is no need to take so much pressure. And the person should bet according to the ability that he can tolerate.

[Outhue]

It has happened to me too, and I guess it's everyone who have experienced this because there are times you can't just place the bet for some reasons, either you are too busy or you are sent on a errand that needs your full attention but then later you saw that you missed out on a big opportunity because the bet comes positive, what you did wrong was not placing the bet as you planned.

Gambling also have it's way of messing with people's mind, but you will be in a better hands if you are using what you can afford not lose, this won't make you worry or care too much.

It's usually very common to find yourself in this kind of situation especially when you are been driven by the odds and all.
You tend to fall for your own trap most times by thinking that a game might not come through and all of a sudden it comes through and also thinking that a game will come through and then all of a sudden it doesn't, this things often happen especially when you have confidence in your game and you so much believe in the teams and at the end of the day it doesn't go the way you espect it should.

The moment we are being able to predict what may come out of gambling, then we are most likely not going to lose any longer because we can predict the right thing, gambling is not what we already know how the end is going to be, we are only making attempt to see whether if our guess is going to be in line with the actual fate that may lies behind every attempt made, so we are all clueless except we attempted to risk the chances of playing a particular game and later see whether we are right or wrong about our prediction made.

Honestly, this is not possible, there's no way we are going to predict accurately the outcome of games without losing, there would always be losses as the uncertainty around gambling is going no where. I try my best to bet according to my instincts, fewer times I bet outside it, I still lost and I was more painful losing because I disobeyed my instict. I wouldn't win everytime, but a least, I'm happy that I tagged along with my will and if I win, it's more fulfilling and I feel more like a strategic pro.

Yes people often do that and they lose again and again, and sometimes they try it again and win. But if you tried same thing twice and lose because you doubted yourself, you will definitely look so stupid. But the truth is that you don't know what to predict that you will not lose. All struggle is just to find a way to win, and sometimes even the game that looks possible to win becomes very hard.

So now you start doing the opposite of what you first wanted to bet. You fade yourself. But what if it actually works? Like you keep winning because you don’t trust your own first pick anymore.  So.. Would you still call that healthy gambling?

Of course it will be seen as a healthy gambling, provided the results is positive. What do people call healthy? Isn't it obvious that anything that works perfectly well is healthy even it's a poison to another person. That's why they say "one man's meat is another man's poison" so if another man's poison happen to be your meat, then it is healthy. When it is not healthy is when it is not working for you.
