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.
Basing up on what OP's been playing or betting then its on sports betting on which means that this one really needs up to have that kind of analysis. Okay lets say that he's playing for the sake of entertainment and fun but how he do pick up his bets? Sticking into favorites or going to underdog? There's still need up to answer up some questions on this one but to assume out that he's that aiming for sticking with favorites then it would be impossible that you arent that experiencing up some winnings. Even if we dont tend to make up some analysis but still the chance of winning is there. The only thing that differs on here is on how you do treat up yourself on choosing up your bet basing or according into your mindset and emotions towards betting or gambling. It doesnt matter whether you are playing for fun or money because odds or chances wont be changing up.
