If we don’t take time to properly analyze the matchup, we’ll just assume the favorites will win easily.

This is one of the main reasons why many of us fail in sports betting as we don’t look for real value. We just see that a team is the heavy favorite and put our money on it. It’s a mindset that leads to losses. We think that just because we know the game, we already have the edge. But we overlook how the odds and the market are designed to balance the action.

So if you’re always betting on favorites without digging deeper, we all know how that usually ends.

If we pick a game where we believe we have a chance to win over the long run, then we should really focus on that game. So I want to hear from other gamblers here on what game do you believe gives you the best shot at winning long term?

Are you focusing on it, or do you think, regardless of the game type, the chances to win are always the same?

For me, I use SMC incorporated with ICT on LTF for my entry but recently I've noticed that my analysis Keeps lagging, Price always get to TP before entry which is not funny anymore, for the whole month no trade tagged my entry before going to tp and I'm looking for ways to improve my trading skill.

What strategy have you used to be profitable in the current market conditions?

Hey, everybody. It's been a long time. How many millions have you made?
I haven't been here since 2019.

Don’t we all know that greed leads to losses in gambling? That greed kicks in when we don’t set a target making us keep playing even when we’re already up, until our luck runs out and we end up losing. Can’t we see that? Maybe that’s the reason we don’t win because we don’t know when to stop.

I’m sure the regular gamblers here have experienced this before -- that moment when you say to yourself, "I should’ve just stopped… I could’ve walked away with my profits."

Who can relate?

If you believe you're skilled at sports betting, enough to pick the single best game daily.. could you actually discipline yourself to bet just once per day for an entire season to prove your profitability?

Personally, I'd struggle. The urge for more action would get to me. Even starting with one game, a loss would leave me feeling unsatisfied, tempted to chase and recover immediately rather than wait for the next day.

So, as a sports bettor yourself: Do you believe you already have the skills to succeed? Or do you think you can develop them over time? Or are you just in it for fun, betting to cheer on your favorite teams?

Sometimes I think luck is a place of mental peace because when we lose most of the time we blame luck similarly if we win, it is because of luck (in most time betting /gambling). In fact  what should your own feeling be? This question may seem to most of us gamblers that if an experienced gambler loses the same way, then how is it possible to identify the main algorithm of gambling?

I think the answer to this question may be easy or it may be very difficult, but the secret between us continuing to gamble and winning or losing is a manifestation of the latent state between the developer and gamblers like us, winning or losing.

Let’s be real, most retail traders either panic too fast or get greedy when things get turbulent in the market. Every cycle, it’s the same story: either selling too early or holding on too long, and then the same mistakes happen again.

The truth is that many traders never really sit down and study what is going on. They fail to backtest their strategies. They just try to guess what the market will do next. Crypto backtesting is simply testing your approach using historical price data to see what would have happened. It gives you real feedback on whether your strategy could have made money or lost it.

If you missed taking profit in previous market cycles and continue to repeat the same mistake, it might be time to stop blaming the market. Take a moment, study your moves, test your ideas, and learn from the past. The market will always come back, but the lessons you learn today can make a difference tomorrow.

People who invest without leverage will win someday, because those people holds real coin or crypto.
And, those who trades on binance or bybit with leverage will get liquidated. Just like forex!!

Then I can also add, we know that there is no accurate prediction. But what is sad is that even though they know that the prediction is not accurate, they assumed that the analysis of their prediction was correct and that is the problem for them.

Although, it is not bad to have confidence but of course make sure that what we are giving confidence to is really right so that we will not be happy with what we give such things.

I feel bad when I read gambling stories that led to suicide. No mayyer how addicted someone is, please don't hide it from anyone. It's better for people to talk to you and help you with words of advice and encouragement because they go a long way. However, some gamblers prefer to keep their addition as  a secret, and it's only when they're ready to let go that you can help them.

There are two types of pain to deal with when gambling and losing.

1. The first one is the money you risk and lose.
2. When the money you almost win is very big.

Now ask yourself which one makes you feel pain even more? On my own part, losing what I risked is very easy for me, it is still money but it is the type that I can afford to lose.

How much damage can $3 do to someone who makes some hundreds of dollars per month? I can only feel the pain if the amount I almost successfully grabbed is very big.

Normally it is a bit more tricky to win large amount with small amount of money, but we move, how about you?
