Winning more bets does not always mean you are making PROFIT

[Btcdeybodi]

Even if you are not making profits from gambling but winning consistently makes you feel happy. I have had times when i played bets for about a week and experience a losing streak but when i gamble the next week and get a win, i will be happy even though the amount may not cover the losses i got previously. This is why it is not good to keep tracks of your losses because if you do that you can never be happy with your winnings except your winning covers up your losses. I don't care about huge wins, if i can win little amount consistently it's better than placing bets expecting to win huge amount.

You can win many small bets with low odds, then lose one big bet and still end up negative.

In fact it feels great to walk around with a big smile on your face after winning 8 out of 10 bets at odds of 1.40. But if you lose just one bet with high stakes or a large sum of money, all your previous profits can be wiped out in an instant. That is why I never measure my real success of gambling by win rate or how many bets I win. I always look at the ROI or how much money I have left in my pocket at the end of the day.

I have to admit, I focus more on having more bets than the quality of the bet. That is because my bankroll in sports betting is just small, so if I limit my bets too much, it feels like I am just gambling but not really entertaining myself.

But the problem is due to this habit of betting on a grand scale, at the end of the day your pocket money can slowly erode. No matter how small your pocket strength is instead of making reckless bets playing a few singles on pure and high-value cards is the most effective and safest way to survive in the long run. Actually there is no fun in continuously losing bets.

How can it not be possible? Winning consistently means profit, and this is what I really like as a sports bettor because it shows that I am already good at sports betting and proves that my hard work has finally paid off. When you are winning consistently, it means you already beat the others who cannot win in the long run. You did.

Some bettors think winning more bets means they are already doing well. But that is not always true.

You can win many small bets with low odds, then lose one big bet and still end up negative. That is why profit is not only about how many bets you win, but also about the odds you take and how much you risk.

For me, a good bettor should not only ask, “Will this team win?” but also, “Is this bet worth the price?”

Do you focus more on winning picks, or on finding good value?

What's funny is that it's absolutely true that a gambler or a bettor is very much affected by a mood change if he wins a lot of small bets and he thinks that he is perfectly guessing all the outcomes of matches. And as soon as he needs to place a big bet, he will get worried and, most likely, as you correctly wrote, he may lose it, which will negate all his past successes, and therefore it is very important to monitor not only his monetary victories, but also his psychological state. Be balanced and calm.

From my observations of gambling, anything that makes you win constantly put you an hedge, which means additional income which should be taken note of as progress and profits.

Although some gambler's don't really put in that much funds into gambling which makes their winnings not to have much reflection on there balance income and if it small amount they may not record it as profits.

But ultimately profit Is profit regardless of the amount, since you won based on the money you risk on the bet.

Bettors have their own strategies. They manage their bets and the budget they allocate for each bet. This can be based on the odds or the risk of the bet. Bettors definitely consider the odds, and some bettors won’t even bet on low chances. Some others look for other market options to get better odds. I avoid making too many bets because, in my experience, it doesn’t turn out well.

Winning can happen consistently in row for many times but still there will be some losses I believe. Even if someone is very good at sports betting, still he/she can face losses because anything can happen in a game.


However, I also believe and know that there're people who mostly win their bets but even such people can lose some bets and that's normal.

When win rate is much higher than loss rate than it's not counted I believe. Someone who wins 90% of bets and losses only 10% of bets is a winner and he/she is someone good at sports betting.

You're correct, And same when comes to losing too, you might be on a losing streak for a week or two but one very big win can change the situation to your favour. When I'm taking odds, I only pay attention to risk on odds that ranges from 1.50 and above; anything less than that isn't worth it based on my risk strategy, and because I don't like combining more than 3 games in a single slip, that's why I do this. Therefore, whenever I choose three games, I'm certain that, if the game is actually in the money, it will give me at least 3x return the amount of money.

Do you focus more on winning picks, or on finding good value?

In my experience in sports betting, I admit that placing a bet on a low odds team certainly has a big chance of winning, of course, as you said, if you lose once in a match with high odds, if you do the calculations it will actually be a loss, not more profit.

Honestly, if I place a sports bet, I generally place the bet based on my own values ​​and instincts, not guidelines on small or large odds.
For example: the match between South Korea vs. Czech Republic, the odds offered by the bookie are 2.40 x 2.20, if I focus on low odds of course I will lose, for that reason I weigh my own worth when placing a bet.

What I look for when betting is how the odds are and whether I can win. But most of the time I focus on winning because I don't want to make a lot of money When paying attention to the odds, many will not like lower odds. Here the chances of winning are very small. My needs are one and other gamblers needs are different. But it is better to be aware of the risks before placing our bets. Because capital is not lost due to excessive money addiction.

This totally depends on the situation. It's okay you may be getting less by betting on the top team to win, but if they're winning consistently. They obviously have high WR, which in result you may only lose some from your total bet. If they're also winning the game against a team equal to them. So it's gonna be profitable.

I do agree quantity doesn't guarantee the outcome, but different situation will have different output. Nevertheless, in most of case, big teams have always high WR, which may guarantee us to end in the profit, though the margin is small.

Many gamblers are winning bets no doubt but the odds of the games they are winning is what determines the outcome of the wins, because if one is winning and he must have staked with a lower amount of money that's how the payout of the bets will be too, for some people it doesn't really matter if they are winning small amounts of money, they just want to keep winning and being happy because they feel they will atleast recoup what they have lost so far which can't be ascertained as no gambler has actually recover their looses in their years of gambling.

As a good bettor you can ask if a team will win but you won't be certain if that team can actually win because you can't predict their performance at all and that's one of the difficulties in betting, I prefer to focus on winning a substantial amount of money from gambling than finding value, what's important is to manage your bets and stick to budget.

Me I prefer value , because betting always, sometime doesn't guarantee that you are making profit , imagine betting small odd and with small money ,their is every possiblity of you winning small cash ,but sometimes It could just be a staking power and one can't get a tangible thing with the win , so to me odd is important,and also finding value is very essential, that is I always focus on big odd ,so that when the winning comes i can make profit from it .

In essence, gambling is a unit that cannot be separated between the two, whether looking for the best value or looking for the win for it. Before they place a bet, they carefully consider both the value and the potential winnings. And they don't just place bets haphazardly. This comes back to their courage when gambling and their financial situation.

It's likely that many of those seeking small profits may want to play much longer than seeking value with large bets or achieving large wins with much greater risks. Essentially, both are the same if they win, gamblers continue playing, hoping to recoup their winnings. The essence of gambling is incredibly difficult to predict.

To end up negative it is not necessarily to lose a big bet. If you are making bets with low odds, like, 1.1 or 1.2, to be negative it's enough to lose one in ten or one in five regular bets.

Heck yeah. Negative is negative. It is just that we are mostly focused on the bigger one because that is what is usually perceived by humans to have more importance. Also odds doesn't matter but we can have more chance to lose in a higher odds game than a small one. But if happens that our luck is so sucky the day we place a bet then we can as well lose easily lose even in a low odds game.

the impression you get is like you are constantly winning, while you are in negative profit in reality

It must be obvious already to know, unless if we are only faking it because we don't want to feel bad. That is not only for the current session though, unless also if we truly won a huge amount, big max win, or a big jackpot, which covers all of our previous losses.

After all, gambling's main purpose is to provide entertainment. So as long as we are betting on our limits and don't expect beyond than it, then there is also no problem, or there is no need to count our losses and feel bad after, if we are truly down.

I agree with one thing you have said and I follow it myself, that is, not to chasing big wins, you have to take more risks and end up losing. That's why I try to bet with small amounts and don't spend too much time betting. I only spend as much time as I can to reach a decision. And when chasing big wins, you have to take more risks, in that case you have to suffer big losses and in many cases it is seen that instead of winning regularly, there is a tendency to lose more, in that case you have to break down a lot mentally and gambling is a means of entertainment, so it is very easy for me. I bet based on my general knowledge and experience. If I win, I enjoy it and if I lose, I think about the next bet.

[justdimin]

Its funny cause some think that sharing some screenshot of wins and profits are always winning on the side of user but never they know that they are hiding their losing streaks just to please their ego.

I remembered my friend bragging his jackpot win on gambling but I asked him about his losses and he didnt nod at all like you already know that his lose money are almost the same with those profits in green.

But all in all if you computed the results from winning and losing youll end up seeing negative result more.

That is exactly the reason why they dislike it. First of all, we need to establish one fact, casinos are still standing because people are losing, if people di not lose, then they would not be standing and they would be bankrupt. So even a person who puts up 100 dollars and wins a 45 million dollar jackpot, would lose ALL of that if they do not withdraw and keep betting, maybe would take years, but they would.

So only goal for a gambler should be win and get out, and if you stay back in, you will lose any wins. So even a jackpot winner would lose it before or after the jackpot. The sad thing is, people sometimes can't stop, I gamble too, but small amounts and I lose it and I feel fine and can stop, but if you do not stop then you will lose all you have.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

On a different sense, I am thinking that the possibility of being profitable if you are having multiple wins is to have a good risk management skill, if you can apply risk management, surely you can secure those profits and still not lose more than the wins that you are going to have but what you must also know is that, the luck of winning continuously is based on luck  and there are periods where you can also face series of losses.

[Floczy]

In gambling we should also be able to calculate our risk to reward, that is for individuals that choose to take it serious more than usual,
Because on a normal state gambling is for fun, and calculating your risk seems you have changed your reason for gambling.

So for those that take gambling serious you shouldn't just gambling to get a win, but you should also be cautious of your over all risk to reward, and that will help you decide the amount of money you will use for any available odds high or low

[Versatile_choice]

Damn, that is very brave. So let me ask, how is it going?

I ask this because I had some kind of betting style like this in the past, just as part of an experiment. You know, that kind of odds seems like a guaranteed win, but like many have experienced, I still lost in the long run.

You should know that there's no strategy that  guarantee wining, yes it's true that the odd that he mentioned seems like a guaranteed win or a sure odd let me use that word. I have tried using that strategy before and I must say that it wasn't that bad at all, I'm surprised when you said that you have been losing in the long run even while betting with this strategy. this strategy is supposed to bring you closer to luck for example; in every 5 attempt you're supposed to have at least 1-2 winings or more I'm speaking base on my experience, although your own case might be different.

Do you focus more on winning picks, or on finding good value?

People need to understand that quantity doesn’t matter; quality does. That’s why making hundreds of small bets for small profits doesn’t make much sense when you can place a well-calculated bet that has the potential to generate a significant return at once.

I’ve also noticed that many people ignore the fact that every time you place a bet, you are putting your money at risk. The more bets you place, the more often you expose your capital to risk. Therefore, it’s better not to bet frequently. Instead, wait for the right moment, the right match, and the right team before placing a bet.

A single perfect-timed bet can completely change your luck and fortune. Just make sure you do proper analysis before placing that bet.

The thing is, even if you waited for the right team if the odds offer only 1.10, the win would not be that dramatic, and if we bet on the underdog, that is way more risky but if we got lucky, a x8 or x10 is possible.  Now, the conflict is here, if we bet on higher winnings, we will most likely to lose the bet, and if we bet that has a very high chance of winnings, we can only win too little and if we do this frequently and the platform system detects us making value bets, our account might be in danger.
