I have always believed that a quality forecast in sports betting is extremely important. More precisely, all elements of the gaming system are important in their own way: risk management, discipline with emotion control and strategy. But if you cannot generate a quality forecast with a high percentage of success, then it is unlikely that emotion control and discipline will help you.

Emotion control and discipline can still help us.  If we are unable to get a clear or dependable forecast,out emotion control and risk management will prevent us from betting thus saving us from losses.  In gambling, it is more important to avoid unnecessary losses than a chance winnings.  This way we are able to gamble for a longer time without replenishing our bankroll, thus saving us from negative effect of hasty betting.

Risk management and money management are also unlikely to help you win. All this will only allow you to lose your money a little slower, but will not help you win.

I agree, risk management and money management won't help us to win, it isn't the purpose of these managements anyway.  Its purpose is the proficient cashflows of our activity.  To ensure that we are not do waste betting, avoid overbetting, and make sure that our gambling activity won't affect our financial status negatively.

The key factor in winning is a quality forecast. However, creating a quality forecast is always a problem of additional information and better processing of this information.

Quality forecasting is truly needed if we want to enhance our chance of winning,  we can either learn to do it ourselves or find reliable sources, but I would recommend the earlier since knowing how to do it ourselves ensures that we only make sports predictions that will benefit us.

Write what you think about a quality forecast, its role in a gaming system and the methods of its construction.

How about you do you have any guideline for quality forecasting?
