Low Wager, Low Risk, Low Reward

[taufik123]

-snip-
My opinion - it is bad idea. After one lose you need 5-6 wins to return the bet. It is too much as for me.

It's not even easy to get just 1 win, let alone 5-6 wins, it certainly takes time and more money for betting capital.
Of course, it can be ensured that there will be more losses that occur, the return of losses cannot be done quickly.

It is better to gamble with less money and little profit, but it continues to be done,
than to bet with a lot of money at the beginning, but the risk of losing and longer returns is greater.

I am stupid at gambling, but I am not rash with betting using big money at the beginning
because that is just the beginning of an addiction happening.

Once they lose one bet, they might have no mood or regret for betting that.

It could also lead to gamble for more. With that, it's going to make them aggressive and aiming for the low reward won't be the thing anymore. It's going to change his main thought from the very start of why he has gambled to now have a purpose and that's to recover some losses that has been incurred. And what's another problem is when they get bad mood from losing. It will affect almost everything they do and they're not on their senses to be conversative with other because they are still triggered by that lost which they have made.

[Raflesia]

I've been in this kind of bet but in the end it's not that challenging for me because even if you win it's like a situation where you don't need to put any extra effort in looking at the stats or even the h2h because you're just looking at a favorite club against a club that's not really looked at much further usually this is for a big club against a small club or a club that's in trouble in terms of performance.

This may be an advantage but at some moments this can make the bets we make disappear just like that when there is a surprise, especially we realize this bet in several matches in major competitions in football, especially the EPL.

The perception that large teams are certain to win places one in a comfort zone which can make one blind. Failure to take important data on team preparedness or the situation of the opponent may lead into surprises and destroy the whole selection in a very brief period. This poses a greater risk when there are several matches placed bets. Our judgement should be based on more realistic things and this way we will ensure the process of selection is just and not overly dependent on the reputation itself.

However, we can't completely reject this kind of easy gamble because it's a situation where we can benefit easily (even though the risk is also high) without having to do much research.

Even though there are no statistics on this but I'm pretty sure there are tons of people who feel the same way and have bet in this condition although in terms of intensity it may be different but when asking whether or not most will definitely say they have.
This bet is still risky but the temptation is also quite large so that not a few people do it even maybe for now.

I don't know the reason behind why many other gamblers like taking high winnings as their first priority each time they wanted to gamble, despite the high risk, they seem not to care to maintain low risk and earn little, perpetually, instead they had prefer a chase after the air and never know when they could arrived at something, maybe we should even start with the orientation that gambling is not a win win game, its an entertainment play we get along with while on our leisure having fun.

[Cryptoprincess101]

Many gamblers use low wager to pursue huge wins, only few gamblers that uses low wager to aim little amount. Betting on lower odds minimizes risk of losses because there are high chances of winning on lower odds than the high risky odds. Using low wager to gamble is a good strategy not to empty your bankroll earlier than expected but the idea of chasing lower rewards is what i don't like because we know how difficult it is to win in gambling, so it is better that when you win it should be reasonable amount that even if you decide to use your winning for subsequent bets, it will take time before you will exhaust it all, unlike someone that won a little amount and still use it up within a short period of time.

I stopped  betting on low odds and I had my reasons for doing that...low odds has a way of making you very expectant, based on the fact that you are very sure that the game has a high chance of winning because of the odds you get too comfortable with it...winning low odds are also based on luck because in gambling anything can happen...there's no point in taking such low risks to get low reward, it is better yo aim high

Low odds will definitely impact the mind because the gambling space is filled with risk. Why hold back when you can come along with huge win when you take the risk? In gambling, everything called risk is definitely worth it at the end. We take huge risk to be at the top and also win big. Furthermore, I wouldn't advise any of my colleague to gamble with the capital they can't afford to lose because that's the beginning of loss. Losses doesn't start when we lose money, it starts from the mind and when we can be able to dive our way into hitting big in the system.

If you bet odds 2+, you need just one win after one lose. You increse risk -it is really more difficult to find good bet with such odds, but you need to find just one bet to double your bet. Odds 1.18 much easier to find, but as i said, it doesn`t guarantee of win. Anyway you have to analyze event. So if you spend time both ways, for me better to search good bets with odds 2+ than check 1.2.
Of course we mustn`t make one big bet. It doesn`t matter what sum we bet(money cost differs) but it ought to be not more than 2% of bankroll, better 0,5-1%.

One of my has started a new strategy of betting on really low odds games. He has the
outlook of aiming for anywhere in the region of a 3% return.

He started 4 days ago and has an overall 96% win rate and 24 wins from 24 wins yesterday,
so overall its working - so far.

He bets low odds, low returns with low wagers - $5 max on odds of no greater than 1.18 . . .
so it takes a lot of time overall.


I explained to him that the biggest enemy of his strategy is himself, anyone doing this would
need to be extremely disciplined, which is very difficult to maintain.

Positives:
Low odds can mean low risk

Negatives:
Low return
Balancing a loss takes time because of the low return
Maintaining discipline


Is anyone else betting on low odd's games?

It would be interesting to hear if anyone has been doing this and are successful.

A few losses in such a strategy will set you back significantly. You can't make many of these bets and be confident that you will keep winning consistently. If it were that simple, everyone would be doing it and making money. In reality, everything is much more complicated, and losses happen far more often even with these bets, than most players think. If the average odds are 1.1, one loss will require ten wins just to break even. That’s why it seems much easier to simply try playing with small odds and see how it actually works, so there are no unnecessary illusions.

[asriloni]

It sounds a smart and dumb strategy. It sounds smart caused by betting in low odd team means high probability to win, but it's so dumb considering betting with low bankroll means that bet won't be effective and waste of time.

Just updating this thread >

So like I stated and others agreed the key elements in this strategy is to stay disciplined
and that a single loss will mean a lot of winning bets will have to be made to reclaim that
loss which takes time and more discipline.

Ad with that my friend has not managed to make significant profits because of a very low
loss rate and also discipline, what might have looked like a sure bet where he doubled up
on his bet turned into a loss.

He has paused the strategy for the moment, he is doing research on past bets and trying
to perfect the strategy.

A couple of things he mentioned is that betting on Soccer was not great to work with because
of low scores and te amount of draw results. He was betting $5 on each bet but he said he would
have been better to bet $2 starting off.

It sounds like small money but with discipline*, small wagers increasing over time, small odds,
small wins over a long period of time will make a significant return.

He started with $100 and is down $33 and has is paused ATM.

So thats what I have so far.

Your friend strategy is similar to the one my friends and I used to employ. We tried low-stakes betting, thinking it was a safe bet. Initially, the betting went smoothly, and our profits more than doubled our initial bankroll. But then a bout of bad luck struck, and we experienced a losing streak that led to a loss. We gave up, but some time later, it turns out my friend tried again, and also suffered the same loss. So, I believe this type of betting can be profitable, but it can also be a total loss. I don't think it is any different from regular betting with odds of 1.8 or 2.0, except for the time difference (fast losses, or slow losses, and the wins are similar).

In essence, all types of betting strategies that we use require a luck factor to win, and an unlucky factor can cause defeat. Therefore, we shouldn't take it too seriously as a way to make a profit, instead, consider it a form of entertainment, so we won't feel too bad when bad luck strikes. Basically, no one knows what will happen in the next few bets.

Personally, I think low-risk betting requires a lot of patience and a lot of time. I think it should better to make regular bets, which don't take up too much time, so we can also not be too fixated on betting alone, as we also need to limit the time spent on gambling.

This bet is still risky but the temptation is also quite large so that not a few people do it even maybe for now.

This kind of bet feels simple on the surface. Big club strong form big names stacked lineup. Small club poor performance no hype low expectations. It tricks your mind into thinking the outcome is obvious so you stop digging into details you normally check. No need for h2h no need for injury reports no need for tactical matchups. It feels like free money. But that comfort zone is exactly where the danger hides. Football is full of those shock results where the small club scores early or defends with ten men or the favorite rotates the squad or simply has an off day. Those moments are what wipe out tickets instantly especially accumulator tickets where one surprise ruins everything.

What makes it even more dangerous is how effortless it feels. You see a big club with very small odds and you think the risk is tiny. But the moment you skip proper analysis the risk shoots up even if it doesn’t look like it. Reputation never guarantees performance. In leagues like the EPL the gap between teams is smaller than people believe and upsets are normal.

This situation is inevitable because from the beginning we are fixated on the strength of the club and even today why many bettors always say when this match occurs and when the favorite club wins this is always considered a natural and easy win but when the favorite club loses it is always considered an unexpected event because the strength of the players, mentality and experience are very different here.

This is quite dangerous but not all gamblers can resist this because those who sometimes do not want to be complicated in betting then they will choose randomly with the club that is confirmed to be the favorite even though this is clearly wrong but it always happens on several occasions.

When talking about comparisons, this is also not comparable because the risk is quite large but we cannot completely ignore temptations like this.

I stopped  betting on low odds and I had my reasons for doing that...low odds has a way of making you very expectant, based on the fact that you are very sure that the game has a high chance of winning because of the odds you get too comfortable with it...winning low odds are also based on luck because in gambling anything can happen...there's no point in taking such low risks to get low reward, it is better yo aim high

The game does not really have that high chance of winning however.  For a 96 percent win chance, visually imagine 4 classes of 24 children and 4 professors.  Does it seem like there are a LOT more children than professors visually?  To me it does not at all.

Betting on low odds is great.  Even if you lose once, you can get it back.  Until you lose two or three times in a row and you realize all the fun is gone.

[KTChampions]

It sounds a smart and dumb strategy. It sounds smart caused by betting in low odd team means high probability to win, but it's so dumb considering betting with low bankroll means that bet won't be effective and waste of time.

So you suggest betting on low odds but a large amount? 
This would be 100% stupid, since the number of bets you need to double is very large, which means you will lose money faster and more reliably than if you simply bet on odds of 2.
And this is true for any coefficient that interests you - 2 or 1.5 or 5 or 10, etc. The math is that bookmakers take their margin on every bet, so the more you bet, the more likely you are to lose. And with low odds bets, this usually comes as an unpleasant surprise, whereas with long odds bets, people are mentally prepared to lose in advance.

The only problem is balancing it… once you get a hit, it goes way deep, taking almost all the profit from the previous bets because they are low returns.
He could try mixing it with high wagers… hopefully not all high wagers will end up getting destroyed, so that should cover more than enough whenever he takes a hit from low wagers and sometimes high ones too.
Unfortunately, this will only work with sports… beyond , is not likely to make any sense

The difference between a low and a high application will be an interesting method of clearing up the balance that has been haunting you. As it has been observed, small profit margins may be frustrating because one loss may erase it all. There is a more substantial opportunity of a quick, big win when it is mobilised on the momentum in sports betting. I concur that this reasoning fails miserably when we consider this as applicable to casinos whose probability system is not at all subject to human axiomatic examination.

I understand and you're right in what you say, low probability bets in football are generating a lot of discussion lately, teams I didn't think would win are winning, you can see it just in the League, of course even so betting with low probabilities is a high risk for me and I don't recommend doing it.Ç

Luck cannot be a good financial ground tight evidence of this is the irregularity of the match results in the football league. We must be wary of the temptation of big money with slim chances since the possibility of loss is much greater than actual. Giving common sense the first precedence is going to allow us to perceive that it is much more important to defend our capital than seek fictitious gains that can never be achieved. To get our economy lives stable, we should put our resources in areas that we are sure of to manage.
