It's simple, never bet with money you are not willing to lose! An average bettor does not understand the value of fundamental and technical research. They just go by luck and end up losing most of the time. I was a casual fan of sport betting since the year 2008 and now I'm professional. To me sport betting is a side gig because I have a well paying job and several investments to support that income. I have 3 rules which keeps me grounded:

1: Never bet more than 10% of my bankroll within any given day!

2: Never place a bet without using research tools such as: player's performance/injuries, weather, H2H match history and favorable odds!

3: Stay away from parlays unless you know what you are doing and when you parlay never go more than 4 teams!

The 2015/2016 Football season: Profit of 160% from $1000 investment.
The 2015 NFL season: Profit of 320% from a $2000 investment
The 2015/2016 NHL Hockey Season: Profit of 180% from $500 investment.

My total investment was about $3500 which is about 50% of my monthly salary after taxes. So as you can see I'm not risking any money I can't afford to lose! Sport betting is not for the shallow minded and definitely not for the undisciplined!!!
Na so

I must really understand some things here, are some people trying to say that betting is the only business that has disadvantages. i mean what will you call a civil servants who has not been paid salary for about 4months and his wife keeps asking for money for food till he gets annoyed and bet his wife. or what will u call a business man who meet some people claiming to have some business organization and that he should come and invest in their business but was later duped. as for ma guy who used his school fees go play bet letme tell u this, the main thing that determines someones success or failure is GREED. If u think gambling is the reason why u lost ur school fees then take ur school fees and go ahead and start a business u don't know anything about, at the first trial put all ur school fee on the business and let see hoa far u'll go. someone even said he has a friend who plays game always but never win anything, bros no bi because of betting they make am lose o unless you can tell me a business which I can invest #100 and I will gain 1million that same day. the law of business should be the more you invest the more you get and the little you invest the little you get not the little you invest the more you get

Gambling for the fun of it, instead of concentrating just on winning, may be a very powerful tool in overcoming the frustrations that can accompany casino gambling, especially poker. People who are in control of their gambling habits play for fun and like the idea of possibly winning big. Plan your gambling activities so you do not go impulsively. Play for fun, and never chase your losses. Take regular timeouts and ask yourself whether you are really having fun. Then everything will be okay. But if you decided to try then you can find more on this site. I rarely play on money but when I bet 5$ and won 20$ it's seems easy.
PS Stop playing...
When you have spent this amount
When you are no longer having fun
When you have something else you have to do

It causes emotional depression and anger. People who are core gamblers are often found to be emotionally depressed every day of their life expecially when they lose huge sum of money,and they are always angry when they remember the amount of money they have lost and the meaningful things they could have done with the money.they become depressed again..anytime their slip cuts, they are not going to be in a good mood and start quareling every one around them

I think I should star hearing messages of successful. punters rather than failures in this area.there is a small group of people in world who making alot of dollars from book makers,They dont have single accounts as we Africans, they don't go and stand in betting shops, they have made thousands. of dollars,I have done research in 2016 and am.convinced, you can make money from betting though you have to be doing something else. its a whole job. For them they don't gumble ,they invest,Haven't you had Neil smith, a.mathematics teacher banned from betting because he over wins, guys speed up your research and find out the real truth then come and talk to betting as a vice

8 Reasons why you need to stop sport betting and gambling:

1) Emotional depression and anger
people who are core gamblers are often found to be emotionally depressed when they lose a huge sum of money,and they are always angry when they remember the amount of money they have lost and the meaningful things they could have done with their money,they become depressed again..like my guy tosyne2much anytime his slip cuts he will start fuming and quareling pple up and down.

2) They are never sucessful
i have never seen a man who gambles and is sucessful in life,Gamblers are never sucessful instead the money that they are meant to use to invest into their business.they will use it and go and play bet9ja and loose and come and start wailing.

3) They are always indebted
when they have exhausted the money within their position as a result of loosing massively,they go into borrowing and most times they use their personal belongings as collateral,i have seen where a man staked his wifes pot of soup to gamble and he lost it at the spot.

4) They resort to stealing
when noone agrees to borrow them money again to fufil their gambling desires,cos of the debt they have incured upon themselves,they resort into stealing stuffs so they can sell and get money to gamble.

5) Lying
all gamblers are liers,they can coook up lies to their parents,bosses and even bosses as to avoid questioning on how they spent the money that was given to them.

6) Deteriorates your physical health
If you have been gambling on a regular basis your physical health is at stake. People who gamble impulsively start neglecting their health. Additionally, the stress of the gambling obsession can even cause stress on your heart, particularly after shocking monetary losses. The emotional fall can in fact have an effect on your physical body in negative ways.

7) Losing friends
You might be wondering how this habit of yours will make you lose friends. Well, if you are in a habit of gambling then it is more likely that if not today maybe later you’ll borrow money from them. Chances are you’ll not be able to pay them in time due to frequent losses. This will really cause strain in your relations. In addition, your addiction will make you ignore your friends as you will be preoccupied with gambling. You may then even miss social outings and some very important events.

8} It makes you lose your aim and vision in life
When your life is all about gambling and just gambling, it then becomes your primary activity. All of your vigor, motivation, energy and inspiration are only gambling related and you tend to lose focus on the main aspects of your life. If you have any special talents or hobbies, it is most likely that these hobbies will not be given priority and you’ll choose to ignore them

Hello. Have you ever used the site https://plusbet.in/betting-sites/ ? Here are the bookmakers, and I'm just looking for them. I wanted to ask someone who used them? I’m a beginner and don’t know which bookmaker is better yet.
Re: Why You Should Stop Sports Betting & Gambling by NikolaValenti: 1:24pm On Jan 13, 2022
Hi, you have to know the rules of the game and a little bit of strategy to start. I also often use predictions, they always help. I like to play through the mobile app megapari app . This bookmaker has no problems with withdrawal, the app works fine, no glitches . I've withdrawn money more than once and once I even got 2k without any problems.
Re: Why You Should Stop Sports Betting & Gambling by anderssa(m): 3:52pm On Jan 27, 2023
I think I shouldn`t. I like sports betting. The core components of sports betting are the same regardless of sport, but there are specifics to each sport that can create very different experiences. The differences in rules and guidelines that is what you need to pay attention while choosing the sports betting site. This one baji-live.com is the best for me. What do you think?
Re: Why You Should Stop Sports Betting & Gambling by madelynntmoses: 11:53am On May 03, 2023
You have some good points. Still, I gamble to relax and unwind.
Re: Why You Should Stop Sports Betting & Gambling by ncizjp: 1:03pm On May 03, 2023
While I agree with some of the points you mentioned, I have to say that I personally enjoy gambling for fun. Of course, I always make sure to set a budget and never go beyond it.
That being said, I recently discovered an online gambling website called judi online. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I did my research and found that it's a reliable platform. I mainly stick to playing slots and poker, and it's just a way for me to unwind and have a good time.
I understand that gambling can become a problem for some people, but it's important to know your limits and gamble responsibly. At the end of the day, it's just a form of entertainment.
