but I understand this condition because sometimes bettors become more aggressive and greedy in wanting to get bigger wins so that the profits from sports betting are not immediately used for other investments but instead are used to bet again with the hope of getting even bigger.

that's something that usually happens to bettors because we as humans still have greedy nature so that every win will never be satisfied and keep on risking the winning money to bet again so we can get bigger money, but in fact most lose in the long run if you still use With such a betting style, the bettor must know when to bet and when to stop betting.

I'm not a hypocrite with all of that, sometimes I also still do things that every time I get a win, I always feel dissatisfied and keep betting again to get bigger wins than before, that's because I also experienced the same thing and had experiences like that, just sharing stories. that every bettor should be able to set targeted wins so that they can withdraw the winning money and use it for investment, then come back in a few days to bet again. it has to be long term

I remember a guy who posted here in the forum that he made $90k from just $4k by following the pattern of betting with all the money won from the previous bet in the next bet, and when he made the bet with $90k, he lost it all. He also mentioned that he had made about $400k once using the same pattern. I don't understand what's the point of winning so much money if you are losing it all at the end of the day and aren't using it for something useful in your life.

A lot of gamblers manage to win significant amounts of money with just a small amount but they never stop and withdraw that money but lose it all again to the house, such wins are basically useless unless someone learns to control their greed and starts practicing the perfect time to stop when gambling.

You can bet incorrectly and even win by luck for a long time, but not indefinitely. That's one reason why many people believe they can analyze the market and the teams.

Do you truly believe that you alone can consistently outperform the full-time analysts hired by bookmakers to set the odds?

Only a very small number of professional bettors can eventually achieve this...a very small number.
