So far I would say I have been more reliant on my old gambling skills and strategies seeing that I no longer have friends that are generous enough to share betting codes and give updates on new strategies to gamble with, so I want to know how successful in your gambling activities you have been so far if you compare;
a. Gambling with help of friends and associates who share codes and betting strategies, versus,
b. Gambling alone depending on pure wits, knowledge and personal developed strategies?
Are we talking about sports betting here or both sports betting and casino games? If casino games are also involved, I would say I don't believe in strategies when it comes to casino games because there are none. The ones people use are betting patterns but they have named them strategies which is wrong, because a strategy is like a plan, where you plan certain things, you do them accordingly, and that will give you an advantage, but in casino games, you can't do anything that can possibly give you an edge over the house, and you will always lose if you are unlucky no matter what strategy you are applying.
When it comes to sports betting, I would say I would mostly do better if I'm doing it on my own because I believe my knowledge. I only make bets when I know about the teams or players involved, and I know which side has more strength and hence a higher probability of winning the game. If that's not the case, I don't trust signals or anything like that, and I would rather not gamble than to make bets only based on such information.
