As the title suggests, I used to think I should pick a few games to analyze and bet on. But with all the free information available online, I think we can place as many bets as we want. By betting on more games while keeping the total daily amount the same, I feel less stressed if I lose one or two bets.
For example, if I risk $100 in total for the day with just 2 bets, going 1-1 would still bother me. But if I spread that $100 over more bets, like $10 per bet, I feel more at ease watching the games. From my experience, this approach has even made me more profitable. What about you? Do you feel the same way, or am I just imagining it?
I prefer to take high risks and high rewards. When you bet on each match separately, it's hard to make a good profit but when you create a ticket and include some games in one ticket, you get a chance to win a good amount because the odds are multiplied.
Btw despite the fact that lots of information is available for free online, it's very hard to find all the information when you make a bet on the match. I personally bet on soccer matches and I always try to search what is the beef between these two teams, and how they play against each other when they play at home or away. This info is not easy to find because you have to dig deep and check their multiple head-to-head matches and every statistic of these matches, then you also have to check their latest matches and statistics. It's not easy and it consumes lots of time.
So you are a more risky player, because with a possible big win, the risk of losing increases and there is no other way. I prefer a more careful game, but with a smaller potential win. But at the same time, I also try to find a lot of information before making a bet and this is where the special interest lies, but I do not want to spend half a day on it, I do it much faster, because I choose those leagues in football that I know well, namely the team lineups, individual play and other things. In short, small and infrequent bets with careful analysis are what I need, even if I do not get a huge win, but I will be calmer.
