What lessons have you learned while gambling on sports?

[Big Bear]

There are some valuable life lessons that can be learned

[DiggityDaggityDo]

It's OK to root against your favorite teams.

[Big Bear]

good one diggity

my takeaways are always be humble and never be greedy

also in all my years when I have really won the biggest it’s always been on an underdog or parlay full of dogs

something cool I like to try on a sunday afternoon in the summer is take all the dogs for the 4pm and later MLB games parlay all the dogs

Numbers are the most important things

Don’t bet a lot of games and don’t get too big

[The General]

Its a thought provoking question. What important lessons would one not learn if they never gambled.

[mrpapageorgio]

You don't have to bet on every game there is. A lot of times betting one or two games you feel strongly about is better than a bunch of games that may just be a coin toss in your head.

I thought this douchebag quit

[Jogador]

Its pretty much like the decathlon.

From my experience you gotta:

- know how and why you bet on what you bet
- keep record of all bets. review performance, see what works, focus on those, eliminate all else.
- bankroll/stake management.
- keep volume low, yet bet what needs to be bet on. no fun bets. no parlays.
- discipline your emotions, your behaviour and all the above.

Generally I think, you cant make money on sportsbetting without loosing enough first in order to bother figure out the above.
All knowledge and lessons are paid for, in cash.
