Why are you delusional, lol

[rachael9385]

To address the reality, winning doesn't matter in sports betting, you can lose 8 out of 10 games but turned out to win the remaining 2 games to be more profitable because they had odds like 26.0 and 48.0. So it doesn't matter who you chose to bet, it can be a big team or combination of both or just the small teams and all you need to focused on how much odds you managed to win irrespective of the number of games.

or perhaps you can lose all 10 games and end up not winning, the reality of having a win that covers up all the losses you have incurred doesn't really work for everyone, not everyone has a happy ending when it comes to betting. The chance of achieving this is high only when you have enough to spare, this is what is going to give you the momentum to keep pushing until a win comes.

When you see gamblers being delusional about gambling and how the app playing it, don't blame them because everyone have their own different expectancy when it comes to gambling and what they wanted to get from it, don't be surprised that each gambler is determined to have a particular target you want to get from gambling and this is why some will always come back to play more even though the same expectation day wanted wasn't fully achieved the first time they attempted to play

Speaking of expectations, I will boldly say a lot of people expected arsenal to win that game.

We can kie it's not true, but that was the fact. They really wanted to win that trophy making it two different ones in two different games. Only if their wish had came true.

But in gambling we stick to what's real and not being delusional. They have the chances, but their opponent were not in their league. They have the upper hand at the start of the game, but threw it away in the second half.

Not everyone would have been able to predict that, that's why we should simply bet on what we think is realistic.

You could lose all the games or you could win all the games but I am talking about the possibility here of winning less games and still end up winning more money than the ones who win more games because it is all about the odds not the number of games in sports betting. Apart from that I am not denying that one should bet only the amount that they are willing to lose but not the other part, even if you win 9 games and the still remaining one's result is irrelevant to the previous ones.

Some time we let emotions do the gamble, we refuse to be strategic and that is what might be holding some spots bettors back.

Dude, if you would be rational and wouldn't use emotions to gamble, you wouldn't gamble. You can be delusional in a way that you convince yourself that there's some rationality behind this though.

And i wouldn't dismiss emotions anyway as current consensus in science is that they are key triggering every thought you have.

Thinking that it's holding you or anyone back to be emotional is you lying to yourself and punishing yourself for not figuring out the way to win the system. Thing is that there's no other way then luck.

this is why some people continue to gambling and also continue to losing because that mindset of Gambling on you cover whatever thing that you have lost in gambling is so one of the worst decision a gambler can make by pursuing it losses in gambling, we need to know that anything that made The Gambler to decide it to cover everything it have lost from gambling that will make the gambler to be more addicted if he's not yet to be addicted in gambling it will be more of being a gambling addict, my device is that gamble what you can afford to lose so that at the end you will not regret and you will not be serious all the time to cover up what you have lost in gambling

[Cantsay]

I wouldn't call it delusion. There have been countless times when we all thought that the outcome of a match was already set in stone because of the stats and their previous record, only for the game to end and we see something that is totally different from our expectations.

This is why, despite the outcome already looking certain, people still go ahead to bet on the opposite. I have won a lot of bets by being this, and I don't think it is bad to think or have this mindset.

Without realizing it, I was experiencing delusions during the UCL final. I completely ignored PSG's experience and attacking prowess, and I had often said that Arsenal lacked a winning mentality. But somehow, my rational thinking gave way to emotion, and I admitted that Arsenal had a great chance of winning simply by looking at their strong defense. In reality, PSG actually had a better chance of winning. Ultimately, I bet all in on Arsenal to win the match.

Such conditions sometimes arise without our awareness, and there's always a driving force behind them, such as constantly observing a particular team's performance throughout the season.

It is true that some gamblers are usually biased when gambling, especially when placing bets. This is mostly seen when they choose to bet in favour of their favourite team instead of using the obvious facts in front of them.

However, in the case of PSG and Arsenal, it was clear that everyone expected Arsenal to win. Arsenal was quite in form, such that even though Arsenal has been known to always disappoint at the 11th hour, everything kept pointing to Arsenal winning the match.

Gambling is unpredictable; sometimes it is not about bias or delusion. The gambler was just not lucky after putting that much effort into predicting the outcome of the game.

[Smartvirus]

Have you ever been delusional in sports betting? Most will agree, while most have but unknowingly to them.
This is not just about football, but I will use football to illustrate. Now you have a match like PSG vs ARSENAL (last season performance only), And honestly you know clearly that PSG has a higher chance of winning, why don't you just bet them to win?
You try to hope that Arsenal will win, I know it's a game of luck, but atleast you can make it less luck and more skill this is how we win in long a term gambling.

When it is a trophy match or a cup game, these games are usually approached with a lot of skepticism. You know it could always go either way and once a team gets ahead, you can be rest assured coming from behind to win is a very difficult thing to do.

One of the reasons why it wasn’t going to be a sure bet or very ideal to bet on PSG to win in the UCL finals is the result we saw. PSG didn’t win in regular time or even in extra time, it took them Gabriel’s off-target penalty shot to earn them the trophy, of course PSG scored their penalties, missing just one.

So yeah, in that game, Arsenal got an early lead and was about keeping that lead. PSG scored with a spot kick else, we could see that their chances were limited. With that in mind, you know the game is always open and either side you choose, that’s not you being delusional.

So it doesn't matter who you chose to bet, it can be a big team or combination of both or just the small teams and all you need to focused on how much odds you managed to win irrespective of the number of games.

Even when you focus on winning high odds when combined together, the chance of still losing after all the focus is high, and you can win one game out of many, and it won't be enough to cover the loss. You can only end up recovering part of the loss and not all and be left with little money to chase more higher odds again using the same logic, in which only a few people come out profitable in that pattern.

It is true that some gamblers are usually biased when gambling, especially when placing bets. This is mostly seen when they choose to bet in favour of their favourite team instead of using the obvious facts in front of them.

We are always biased because we bet on a team that we love, but it does not matter that much, what matters is we measure our performance.

If it results in profit, then that is good and there is nothing to change with our strategy. That is gambling, there are two sides, we choose which side, and we should not think that bookies are there to beat us because that is not the reality.

If we think that way, it will result to wrong analysis of the game. Why I say this is because it is important to know which side others are betting on, because when one side gets more bets, usually it loses based on my observation, so we also have to take that into account.

[famososMuertos]

Well, team you choose to bet on in a match is determined by your analysis of who to back. Then the odds offered by the casino those probabilities determine how close to, or far from, the expected outcome of the match you are.

That's why there are always winners and losers (obvious); then, regardless of the probability,  you decide whether to follow your instinct or take the better odds. In that sense, your choice may or may not offer the best value to win.

In other words, every betting situation is different. For example, you mentioned the Club World Cup, but you can't compare it to the UCL final.

Anyway, I understand your point, but in the long run, you can't keep regretting your decisions, and you don't know if the option with that preferred team will be the best in the next game just because it's a winning team; you have to re-analyze from scratch.

[ingiltere]

I'm not sure if you're being ironic or serious. PSG didn't even win the match. They won the trophy on penalties. So if you bet on PSG to win the match, you lost your money. And you lost by betting on the favorite, meaning you lost even though you bet at low odds. The example you gave doesn't make any sense. It's not clear what point you're trying to make here.

Always betting on the favorites isn't a good strategy. You need to find the right odds and know when to bet with a good percentage. In other words, it's all about balance. I think you shouldn't bet at all, because with that mindset it's impossible for you to win.

And I count it wrong to even allow one self to grow an expectation into such strong force that when it's not achieved, you are forced to come back again to keep chasing it, especially when this  is something to do with gambling, and we all know that gambling outcomes is unpredictable, and what this means that it's very possible for a gambler to gamble from year to year to year and won't still meet their expectations from gambling if and when luck is not on their side..

This is why I always prefer gamblers playing casually with no expectations in mind, even when expectation is there, it has to be light and not something the person can become addicted to wanting to achieving.
What usually happens later is that such a gambler could and would likely become super addicted gambling without him knowing when the symptoms started showing up because he was or is so immense in the goal of winning.

[Darker45]

I don't think sports betting is as simple as choosing which team or player will win. For me, sports betting is more of playing with the odds. And because money is involved, you don't simply choose which team or player is most likely winning. I'm afraid that's not profitable in the long run. As a matter of fact, you'd even have to court risk in order to maximize your potential winning. Especially when lopsided matches are concerned, you'd likely go for handicaps. But, yeah, if you're cheering for the club that you love, you aren't for the money. You're betting for the love of your team.

[Samlucky O]

With this example of yours, I don't think it works that way. Even if you chose PSG to win Arsenal that does not guarantee you to win . As you can see the battle between Arsenal and PSG was very intense that PSG could not win in 90 minutes even with Plus 6 and 30 minutes. Untill they won in penalty kick, that is to tell you that no team should be neglected or looked down on because of their past performance. You might even chose their opponent to win them, and they win the big team. You cant really tell what the  outcome will be regardless of how much you think you know this people.

[Muba20]

In sports betting, it is not bad to bet on strong teams rather than betting on emotions. Because strong teams do better in the long run. We often see in league tournaments where good teams are at the top. However, there is also uncertainty because sometimes those big teams lose matches against much weaker teams. It is not known which match they will lose and which one they will win, because of which there is uncertainty in every match. In the case of betting, the gambler must make proper analysis and place bets. In order to get good results, experience is also needed along with skill. Those who place bets based on skill and proper analysis will get comparatively better results than others even if they lose.

[Somegory]

Lack of discipline is why any gambler will risk alot of money that they can't afford to lose on a bet simply because they believe that their team will win, this isn't how anyone should gamble.

Assurance of a prediction means nothing, been wrong is still very possible, I advice you should risk what you can afford to lose even when you are certain, what happens in the future is beyond any humans control.

The problem is People start to think that they have some power after some predictions of theirs coming to life, they will start thinking that they are better than gamblers who are losing, not knowing that they are lucky for that time frame only.

You may not win at that moment but you will on a long term 

I agree with u even i know that emotions can hurt betting decisions too but there is also a psychological trap which peoples sometimes didnt even notice. Just because a team is stronger does not mean your every bet will be profitable. I will explain it in your mentioned example a bookmakers already know PSG has a higher chance of winning so the odds are adjusted to reflect that. Many bettors trap into the favorite bias mindset believing the stronger team is always the best bet. In reality  betting is not about predicting who will win but whether the odds offer value. A team can win most of the time and still be a bad long term bet if the odds are too low. One point i like in your post is about removing emotions. Supporting a team and betting on a team are two different things . Emotional attachment with a team often leads to poor decisions. If we see successful bettors there main focus is on probability and value and also bankroll management not like  simply backing the stronger side every time. What im trying to say the key is to think in probabilities not in certainties.
