When your mindset about gambling is just for entertainment, you can’t really expect to win.. just my observation. Because when I’m not serious about it, like when I treat it lightly especially in sports betting, I don’t study the games before placing bets. I usually end up losing more. I don’t lose big, but if you look at the record, it’s not profitable or even close to break-even.
But when I start believing that I can actually be profitable, that’s when I do the work. I study the games before betting, and that’s when I start getting better results.
The right gambling mindset does not determine whether you win or lose more, as long as you feel happy and are able to be responsible then I think it is good. I played non-gambling games for a while, for me it was fun because it was entertaining, I just lost time because of it without the need to do any analysis. But when it comes to gambling, then of course you need to do analysis so that you will not make random bets just for fun.
Sometimes being serious and focused can also make a gambler lose, which means that winning is not determined by what the gambler's goal is. All gamblers are advised to gamble wisely and responsibly, but it is up to anyone to make their own decisions about their gambling. If I were you, having fun and analyzing before placing a bet would be good.
