Have you ever tried fading yourself in betting?

[Julien_Olynpic]

It's a battle between two inner voices. It's a clash of motives between two types of intuition in one person, lol. But personally, I prefer not to bet serious money on intuition. Intuition will deceive you about 50% of the time. So even if you win with intuition, it's unlikely to help you next time. This is a classic situation in which you're fooled by chance. But such situations help us understand the importance of good strategy, increase our awareness of the game, and better analyze our actions.

So.. Would you still call that healthy gambling?

From what I know, healthy betting isn’t really about whether you fade yourself or not. It’s more about keeping your bets small, sticking to your original plan, and not increasing the stake size.

Honestly, this is nothing new for gamblers because most bettors have experienced it before, and I’ve been there many times too. Especially in sports betting, anything can happen, so there’s nothing wrong with betting against yourself sometimes.

This often happens to me especially when I'm in EPL betting because for me it's better to minimize not to focus too much on betting every week than we can't accept results that are far from expectations.

Some of the big English clubs are always worth betting on but their performance always looks different at the end of the season so I am quite rare to bet again after some things that are not in line with expectations happen in front of the eyes even for a long time I have not bet on Liverpool matches because for me sometimes things that look easy can actually make disappointment bigger.
Actually, I don't bet on myself but I consider it a defensive strategy that I have because forcing a bet when a club is at its lowest point is very difficult to do because there is always a sense of pessimism in a forced bet like this.

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 think that all these mental tosses within oneself can be called overthinking. This is when you analyze, make a decision, but then you start to doubt. I would compare this to the condition that every student faces when he teaches and teaches before an exam, but then everything gets mixed up in his head. Therefore, we all need to treat gambling and betting more simply, and after analyzing the situation and making betting decisions, we just need to forget about it and watch the match in a relaxed way. Without pushing yourself to the limit with endless thoughts.

You are absolutely right, indeed, healthy gambling have absolutely nothing to do with whether we fade ourselves or not, and when you said its about keeping bets small, the term "term" small might mean a lot of things to different people.. So I would prefer to say that it's about keeping our bets within the amount of money we can comfortably afford to lose.

Small bets (like I said before) might mean different amount for different people, for example, someone might be a billionaire and $100,000 is a very small amount of money for him to lose, meanwhile someone who has barely every touched $5000 obviously will see that $100,000 as a really huge sum of money for a person to risk on a bet once.

So, one of the principles of healthy gambling is that we keep our betting within a range where loses doesn't matter or affect us financially in any way, and also avoiding what ever will lead to betting after loses and so on.

So many times in the past. What I do learned and realized that guts or instinct is quite strong so better to trust it. It happen to many times not just in gambling but some other stuff in web3. If only I followed my instinct I should have been win a lot of profits or gain from it but obviously our minds has a different approach and thats how brains work to let us think of what was the good possible chance for us.

I'm on the same side as you with that, most of the time fading yourself is from fear of making the same mistakes, not analysis. We get too indepth after a pretty good shot, we process in our head and become less confident in the shot. Gambling should not be a psychological conflict with oneself. After research and analysis is completed, there is only one right thing to do: take the risk and remain cool, rather than changing picks every minute because of fear of being wrong. Often the right first reaction is the right one before emotions and fear take over.

Which is why it always advisable to always bet with what we can afford to lose. Let not try to be so greedy when it comes to gambling let stick properly to our discipline about risking what one can afford to lose if not we might later end up getting drown into emotions and regrets Which gambling isn’t meant to be so.
Let avoid the fear and also avoid switching our games time to time. Have strong believe in what we pick and let the market decide the outcome instead of changing and switching things on and on.

I can remember the few times I ignored my instincts, and I remembered vividly how that turned out for me. There are also times I decided to follow my guts and it still turned out badly, so sometimes I get confused which to follow, especially when doing stuffs like gambling, because winning in gambling neither depends on the gambler’s gut feeling, instincts or even their analysis, it’s all luck, and that’s why I barely think about it.

I've also gone through that strategy to see if I can capitalize on my shitty luck and it wasn't any better because by the time I switched my approach, the underdogs were done overperforming.

If it worked, then i'd probably say it's still healthy because from my perspective, healthy gambling is when you don't let it interfere with your life, like one example would be ruining your sleep schedule to watch a certain match.

To me, it's too far to call it unhealthy since it's similar to reverse psychology and you're mostly banking on your own bad luck, nothing more than that.

[suzanne5223]

Gambler fading his/her is something that I believe happens to every gambler when we're in a losing streak, and every strategy seems not to be working.
In this situation, it is normal to feel oneself, but what is not normal is working on the needed solution, which is by writing down the reason most bets were lost, and stopping gambling for days while meditating and finding a solution to prevent the previous mistake from happening.

I did but I think that's just on my mind and that's probably not gonna hit. Sometimes it work but most of the time it's not and just end up being at a loss. If it was just that easy I think I'll be that rich now just fading myself, but no it's not. I think whatever it is that you want in the first place just stick with that, win or lost, it's all gambling after all.

If you are rating intuition correctness to be up to 50% at all times, then it has not really misled the person since our decisions are being made out of the data we analysed. There is no certainty our prediction can give even up to 50% of winning in the end, but I doubt if it can actually give such a winning rate, or I'm mistaking your statement for another thing.
