Rather than being smart, it is good to be a disciplined bettor, because when you keep yourself following certain things in gambling, automatically things will work out in your favor. Being smart will be effective, but the same could go out of our hands at times, but with discipline, things can be kept within control, unlike any sort of situation. Once I used to be a disciplined bettor, but the greed made me lose control, and the continued gambling has made me lose confidence in gambling.
