    Does Confidnece Help In Gambling Also?
    You hear the term a lot as far as dating, business, athletics, etc

    How does it apply to sports betting??

    Does a confident bettor have an edge??

    I am not that confident with sports betting and most of the time I think I am going to lose.

    its good to have confidence on your picks but your not going to have the same level of confidence every bet. if you lose, you lose and you move on to the next bet

      Confidence #1 most important thing in sports betting!!!

      If you are not confident you're not gonna win. I'm not saying it helps you pick winners, but you must be confident in the plays you do choose, & know you're gonna win!

      How many times have you had a card full of winners but didnt play them because you lacked confidence to pulled the trigger?

        The profit is right here JJ. Without confidence you lack the clarity needed to be accurate and objective in ur assessments relating to your picks....My personal experience anyway....

            Nope!! If you are on the wrong side, it really dose not matter. A win is a win and a loss is still a loss. Makes no difference if your confidence is high or low.

                Confidence makes you go with your first thought and stick with it. How many times have you made a pick, and changed it at the last minute? Then the shit comes out as a loser, and the one you originally pick had won. You have to do the research and be confident in your selection.

                    very very different jj

                    in other areas of life, false confidence can be very very beneficial

                    in sports betting false confidence will bury you

                    thats why i love sports betting

                    bullsh*t walks


                    it's also why people who benefit from false confidence and dishonesty in other areas of life are so against sports betting

                        No, betting is all numbers so confidence is no factor.

                            So, LT are you saying that JJ sucks because he sucks and not just because he lacks confidence???

                                  Nope, you really can't help yourself if you don't have any kind of control over the outcome.

                                        With any gambling confidence is a factor. It has already been said but it is the difference between pulling the trigger or not. When you are hot you are confident and sticking with the games you should be. When you are cold you are not confident which leads to changing your mind and not being able to pull the trigger when you should.

                                          Confidence is key JJ, I agree. As for winning maybe this, pick half of the games you play that YOU are most confident in. Gotta rate em.

                                              I think the angle here is confidence in your handicapping ability. Doesn't matter if the picks win or lose, if you have confidence in your handicapping ability then you will be a much better bettor.

                                                Confidence does not matter because you are not controlling the games. You do have to have heart and fearlessness helps you though.

                                                    i know it helps when i have to toss one off. sometimes i don't think i can properly please me and it makes it hard to get hard. i hate when i have to tell myself to juggle my nuts, i should know that by now. but either way i know i won't be calling myself back or buying myself lunch. oh no, there will be no call until i am horny again.

                                                    such an asshole.
