If you want to be successful in sports betting in the long term, one thing is essential: Discipline. But that is easier said than done. Because that’s exactly where most hobby tippers fail.
Anyone who regularly bets on sporting events knows this feeling. After one or more lost bets, the feeling of frustration grows. You want to show it to the bookmaker: “Now more than ever! I’ll get my money back!” Before you realize it, it’s usually already happened and you have to be carried away by emotion to make a bet. The frustration bet, also known as the tilt bet, is placed. Goodbye discipline.
This includes losing bets
One is driven by the thought of getting back the lost bet as quickly as possible. Preferably with a double stake to overcompensate for the losses. The factual and detailed examination of the game or games on which one is betting one’s money in such a situation is usually ignored or at least neglected.
Usually only one person is happy about this: your bookmaker. Because such hit-and-run actions rarely lead to the desired success, and above all not in the long term.
It helps to keep in mind that losing bets are part of business. Even experienced professional gamers have to struggle with longer streaks of bad luck.
Don’t deviate from your strategy
It is important in such phases that you do not deviate from your strategy. That means: Do not suddenly place adventurous missions that you would otherwise never raise. Or betting in leagues or sports that you don’t really know your way around.
In this constellation, the danger is very high that you suffer a total loss (hence the name tilt bet). Means: You play your betting account to zero. To prevent this, self-discipline is required. Be sure to keep your bet limits, which you should clearly define, especially in such frustrating situations. It is recommended to use a maximum of 5 percent of the betting budget per bet. In concrete terms, this means: If the betting account is filled with 100 euros, the stakes per bet should be a maximum of 5 euros. And keep betting on the terrain you’ve acquired expertise in.
Be careful with live betting
Live bets are predestined to leave their territory. They represent the greatest temptation for frustration bets because they promise the supposedly fastest way to recoup losses. Since, in addition to the lack of preliminary research, you can also get under time stress because the quota could fall, great caution is also required here.
If you’re on a long losing streak, take a break rather than trying to force your luck over and over again. Break out of the negative whirlpool and calmly approach the next bet with a little distance and without negative emotions. This directly increases the chances of success.
