Right now, we're all enjoying the NBA playoffs. So far, I’m being more aggressive with my bets because I feel more confident the best teams are playing!
But even though I believe I can win, sometimes I get greedy because, honestly, my bankroll isn’t that decent.
Sometimes, I aim to win like 10x my bankroll.
So what I do is bet on games with higher odds, like I’ll watch the game, wait for a team to fall behind, then when the odds shoot up (like x5), I hammer it.
But based on experience… it’s not really working out anymore.
So with this strategy, did you got the OKC Thunder and live bet on them against the Memphis when they are down like 20 points? Because if you did then it could have been a good win for you as the Thunder comes back from that huge deficit and won the game.
There’s also the standard betting with odds like 1.90, it's safer, but the journey feels so slow.
That’s why sometimes, I really get tempted to chase those high odds.
Any advice for me?
It's very hard to give advice mate, but for me, I will go with the safe bet like single bet. Just like in the Knicks vs Pistons, the Knicks in the favorite but just slight. But still the line started at 1.87 ML so that is good enough odds for me to pour some big money on it.
Instead of chasing like bigger odds, or even a multi leg parlay and then you have to wait for the results of the other games. But the thing is that just one L will obviously ruined your bet and it's going to be hard to accept it mentally.
