LOL Tried out sports betting again after many years layoff

[Asylum Patient]

...and immediately lost my first bet

Did even play it extra low and safe. Was just 10 bucks on a small 2-leg parlay. Was just for fun to get my feet wet after a long layoff. But OF COURSE luck wasn't on my side. It was on combat sports btw.

One fighter did come through but the other one lost a razor close controversial decision (of course) so my whole parlay crashed. Not even mad I actually laughed at it. Really don't have any luck at all. There is just no winning out there its actually hilarious.

Stop now! Luckily betting for me has been very good, after making £80 from it I have never touched it since 2022. It is not worth it especially with incel mentally ill freak luck like some of us have

Even roulette is unfair cause it's only like a 46% chance to win iirc. If someone made a study, I'm sure sports betting would be under 30%. Too many variables, too much hype and marketing. I thought Jon Jones would have trouble with Gane, and yet he manhandled him as if Gane was a wee child.

Don't give up, now you have to get back what you lost. Stop it with the parlays, just make slow and safe progress.

As if the devil himself is whispering in my ear.

Yes. You will lose if you bet with a bookie.

Although some bookies are less exploitative than other bookies.

For example, Pinnacle is the best bookie by far. They offer the fairest odds.

But odds to win are much higher if you use a bet exchange instead.

Betfair and Matchbook are the two most biggest bet exchanges on the market.

What's a bet exchange? You literally place odds against other bettors.

How does the exchange earn money? They take a flat percentage of your wins.

Somewhere around 1 - 1.50 % depending where you play and how much liquidity you provide.

Many gamblers are so low IQ they don't even know that bet exchanges exist.
