Anybody that has played bet enough knows there's nothing like safe odds. Teams with 1.08 odds dey lose, teams with 17 odss dey win.

You should go on twitter and see people rejoicing anytime a new football season is starting; they all have the positive energy that they will win big this new season. When season ends and u ask them how many weeks they actually won in a 38 week league season, u will be surprised even the most experienced punters don't win up to 10 times in a season. Why? Simply because of upset.

All my life I've known elderly people who have been playing "pool" since the 70's/80's long before sports betting became a thing. They bet on Australian leagues and lower leagues in England. You will see those baba's in small wooden shops with white net-like curtains. Some of them are grandpas now and still play pool forecasting draws in those leagues. Those babas know teams that will play draw like the back of their hands, yet they always suffer upsets denying them millions of naira year after year. They study chats, trends and patterns yet they always fall short.

I just dey look itsrm. By the time Akhisar belediyespor beats Galatasary from nowhere, his eyes will clear

And what if you don't get the one winning ticket?

I think it's easy to have a plan and stick with it when that plan is 1K every weekend, people that go into betting for the reason anyone goes into betting knows it's next to impossible to do so.

Itsrm:
Dey play

You think I will waste my time with those 1.07 odds. Where do I even have the time to be accumulating 100 matches just to get 30 odds.

Minimum odd per match will be 1.50. I need the fewest matches possible.

And just to be clear, I'm not saying I will make money or I will win. There's a good possibility I'll lose all the 30k.

I'm only saying, win or lose, no matter the circumstances, I will only do it max of once a week as planned and will not return to it once the season ends.

Itsrm:
And that's the point I was making. If you treat it as leisure, have a plan, stick to it, control your emotions, you can do it without getting addicted.

BlueRayDick is saying the high that comes with winning or the impulsive need to chase losses cannot be controlled.

I disagree.

Yeah, the Bible alludes to that. Once one OG brings peace to the Middle East like this, i will hang up by mentorship boots for good. I no like heat.

OasisX:


......and again, what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing differently from these great suggestions?!

Amoto94:
I remember prior to the removal of fuel subsidy and floating of currency a lot of policy analysts were actually in support because it's good for opposition politics calling the subsidies fraud now that the policy they advocated for have now pauperized the people they're here singing another song.

OasisX:


.......that's why its easier said than done bruh. LOL!

Theflint1:
Tinubu will be judged on the quality of implementation, and the eventual outcomes of subsidy removal.

See let's set the terms of this thing before u start.

The whole Idea is for me to prove that even if u have plans to limit ur risk to a particlular threshold every weekend, u will still arrive at a final end which is: U will lose all the money in due time. The only way not to do that is for u to quit. That is what I have been saying all these while.

Whatever financial discipline rule u may think u want to follow, I have walked that path before and I realized the only way out is to not bet at all; that's how u don't lose money in betting. That's the reason why I quit, it's not like I don't win when I was betting. I literally used betting winnings to fund my journey to NYSC back then. I don use betting money do birthday before. I've had enough motivation to keep betting, but I know it's a game u are never going to defeat the bookies in the long run.

Wheher u bet on 1.01 odds or 2.00 odds, u will still arrive at a point where u will lose all ur capital. It is just a matter of time.

Do u think people that always lament " Wetin we wan play again? we don bet play first yellow card, first throwing , goal-goal, etc and ticket still " are not risk conscious or they don't have plans? na betting chop dem turn dem to Jeremiah wey dey write lamentations o.

Instead of donating the money to onile, why not just do giveaway to someone on this thread.

Itsrm:
I get your point.

What I'm saying is a mindset that sees money lost during betting as the same as money lost watching a music show or watching football at a viewing centre. It can be argued that those other activities give value for money compared to betting.

However, the fun, thrill and adrenaline rush that comes with betting plus the added benefit of financial reward is also value.

You then highlighted the problem of addiction and I said I have absolute control over my emotions. Win or lose, I stick to the plan.

While I want to win money, I am acknowdeging the fact that even if I lose, the 30k is no different from the 30k nihilist will spend buying white london over the course of the season.

Theflint1:
Na the koko be this, anything else is throwing money away casually...without creating the conditions necessary for an addiction, a break in pattern, and/or potential loss of capital as predicted, the experiment is invalid.

BlueRayDick:
Baba u are comparing apples to oranges. Nobody goes into betting because they just want to throw away money. Adrenaline rush is never the satisfaction to be derived from betting, in fact that adrenaline rush is one of the negative side of betting; u would feel uneasy and get tormented with the near-there syndrome.

For example look at Arsenal Vs Man city game few weeks ago. We would have people who bet on City to win against Arsenal considering City hasn't lost in their home stadium for a wile now and City are in good form. The game starts and City leads as expected . You will be happy and relaxed the game is going on as planned till Arsenal draw level. Then shortly after Arsenal takes the lead 2-1. At that point u start getting uneasy knowing how defensive Arteta can be when he really needs.

Somehow Trossard gets a red card before half time and you are relieved City now has what it takes to draw the game and take the lead. Now for straight 45 minutes u will endure the torture of Arsenal blocking every shot, intercepting passes and frustrating city's attempt to wrap up the game against 10 man Arsenal. On 90 minutes u start cussing Guardiola, the players and even the referee if he fails to spot any infringement. You can literally see ur potential winning slipping off ur hands then City draws level but u played City to win. The match ends 2-2 and u let out a loud hiss. Everything go just dey vex u

How is that for leisure?

Let me tell u , people bet for two major reasons:

1. To make money which will serve as passive income if u have a job
2. To make big money cashout if u don't have a regular income and u see betting as a way to "make it"

Unfortunately, when people do critical stock taking they always discover neither of those two goals gets realized in the long run(except for a very minute lucky few)

thats a name i havent heard in a while.

so the good doctor is a fagin hunter?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The reason why Itsrm is speaking this way is because he is getting to gamble at a very very responsible age.

He is matured, and able to know when to stop.

I started my miserable journey to gambling in my final year. It was one bet hous at Abakpa, Enugu.

The first game i played was with 100 naira, and i won 13k.. Na so Bet9ja take blend me. From then, it was back to back loses till i stopped.

So, i can understand Itsrm if he insists he can stop. He's way more responsible and matured as a beginner. [/color]

plenty strong willed guys for the thread sha

@doc if boys can move away from betting you can also move away from mentoring
