I've been running my own betting for some time now, experiencing ups and downs multiple times. Gradually, I've accumulated some experiences and insights that I want to share with fellow novice bettors. Feel free to provide feedback on any shortcomings!
[Betting Techniques and Various Markets]:
[Steady Betting]
For a bettor, steady betting is the top choice for winning (especially for inexperienced beginners). The essence of steady betting lies in being ""steady."" How to achieve this? Before placing bets, it's not advisable to look at the odds provided by various bookmakers. This prevents preconceived notions from affecting your judgment. Bettors should thoroughly study various information, data, and even history to determine the strengths, conditions, and styles (offensive or defensive) of each team. Once you've found your favorite pick, then look at the odds offered by bookmakers and make slight adjustments based on your preferences and odds. It's important to note that bookmakers are experts among experts, so major adjustments should be avoided. This approach leads to moderate wins and fewer losses, suitable for building a strong foundation and having a long-term strategy. The essence of steady betting is ""steady progress, steady wins,"" adopting a cautious, step-by-step approach to gradually outplay the opposing bookmaker. The challenge lies in maintaining patience and avoiding impulsive decisions due to a strong gambling nature.
[Tempting Odds]
Tempting odds are familiar to most people, and the core is in ""tempting."" It's like using the ""beauty trap"" strategy from the 36 Stratagems to lure unsuspecting players into a trap. Those who set tempting odds must diligently research information, analyze odds, and scrutinize each piece of information and data repeatedly. Once you have your favored pick, make rational and significant adjustments to the odds provided by bookmakers. This way, you can ""tempt"" players. Tempting odds are suitable for those with a strong gambling nature and for dealing with specific odds. The characteristic of this approach is offering attractive odds that make players feel like they're getting an advantage, thus influencing their preferences. The downside is that this approach often involves a ""do-or-die"" situation, with significant risks, which isn't suitable for long-term strategies.
[Guiding Odds]
Guiding odds are like a chess match. The characteristic of guiding odds is playing a psychological game, leading players by the nose. It often occurs when there's a significant gap in strength between two teams, but the bookmaker offers a smaller handicap. At this point, if you favor the team receiving the handicap, you face a dilemma. If you choose the handicap, it's easy to lean too much to one side, and the buyers will figure out your intentions, putting you in a passive position. However, if you offer the other side of the handicap, it appears reasonable and influences the buyers to follow your lead. Guiding odds are suitable for those who understand buyers' psychology and for mixed markets. It complements the tempting odds strategy. By intertwining both strategies, you can maintain the enigmatic nature of the odds, preventing buyers from understanding the bookmaker's tactics. The challenge is that the operator must be familiar with the buyers' psychology, and the risks are substantial.
[Stalemate Odds]
The saying ""retreat is the best strategy"" from the 36 Stratagems applies to stalemate odds. Bookmakers are often disappointed when encountering a stalemate situation since they've put in a lot of effort without making a profit. However, if you view this situation differently, you realize that you haven't lost, and the buyers haven't lost either. Instead, they feel regretful and attribute their lack of success to bad luck. This creates a strong desire to continue buying, and your odds will never be short of buyers. But is it really just bad luck for buyers? Everything is under your control...
[Points to Note]
1. Bettors must avoid being restless and impatient while researching odds. A calm mind leads to rational thinking and enhances your ability to analyze.
2. Bettors should not approach researching odds with a fan mentality. Preconceived notions can impact your skill in setting odds.
3. Bettors should not fear losing streaks. Under a losing streak, your mindset can change drastically, and you might rush to recover losses by offering large odds. Overcoming this mindset makes you a winner.
4. Be diligent in researching information and studying odds. Running a betting operation is a form of warfare, and without a solid strategy, victory is hard to achieve.
5. Do not rely on luck. Luck is intangible and unpredictable. Mastering the odds is the true essence. Blaming bad luck for losses and recklessly offering odds when you win will lead to failure.
6. Do not fear ""experts""! Remember, buyers are experts, but they're no match for the bookmakers. If someone has strong preferences, and others follow their lead, you can adjust your odds to counteract their influence, making the odds fifty-fifty. Gradually wear down their sharpness and energy. When others aren't blindly following, your opportunity will arise.
These are the insights I can offer for now. Please feel free to provide feedback and additional insights! |
