Its not an easy task to couple up a set of games on a single bet and stake our money on them, it may not even be about the money staked now as the challenge, but when you discovered that a single game cause the whole game into ruin, this could be as annoying as something else, one will first blame himself of including that particular match on the bet, but we cant always be right in whatever thing we do, that is why we are taking the risk on them, if it comes then we made it gambling.
growing a balance with betting, from a small starting place is a really hard task
probably easier to invest in something like bitcoin, buying every week or every month and grow your stash over time
the fact that we won't always be right is exactly what gives the house their edges
