I would like to ask everyone here who is into sports betting for some advice. I've come to realize that maybe I should start fading myself. I've noticed that my recent gambling journey hasn't been profitable, so I'm thinking maybe I'm missing something. I tried an experiment by just recording my picks and then betting the opposite of my analysis. Surprisingly, this resulted in profitable betting.
So how about you? Have you ever thought of this idea when your picks aren't hitting? I mean, if we keep following how we think and feel with our picks and it doesn't translate to profit, there's no reason to continue following the same strategy. But are we comfortable with betting against our own picks just for the sake of fading ourselves strategy?
Didn't really go down and checked if I'm statistically winning when I make predictions/am confident with my picks but I can see how this could affect the chances of me winning games.
When you make confident/educated assumptions you already set yourself for success since it almost always means you have prepared yourself for the game, perhaps you may have gotten some light reading that goes towards knowing more about the team or whatever, but shit hits the fan, you're more informed/educated and more confident making those picks.
Confidence in itself doesn't really bring that much to the table especially if you're confidence for the sake of it and not because you have got something to be confident for, betting isn't something you can just "fake until you make it" since there's a real chance of you losing more than you winning, and that isn't for you to decide either.
