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.
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 is not advisable to bet on high odds because there is no guarantee of winning the bet if you bet on high odds. You should always bet on the balance of the team and the players. I never bet on a team with high odds. I always bet on the complete consistency of the team and as a result I can make my bets much more successful. There are many people who do not want to bet on low odds and bet on high odds, as a result they end up losing the match.
Most gamblers bet on probability and I do the same as they do on analysis and current performance of teams and players. Every bet should be made considering the balance. Betting based on probability alone can be a reckless decision so review the trophy winning history and the loss rate of the team you are betting on. Your betting idea is correct and you should also remember that balanced betting does not guarantee you a win so in the end we have to surrender ourselves to fate.
