I used to be a football betting addict and I've lost a lot in it. Football betting isn't just about accumulating machines but knowing the basic things about it 

Let's put that aside. I've learnt my mistakes and I decided to put this up for those who feel they're unfortunate when it comes to betting 

Here are the basic things you need to know 

  1. Stop chasing your losses

It's advised that you should always invest what you can afford to lose. This means that you should avoid using your school fees, house rent, pay bills, or daily needs to support your lives. One thing you need to know is that, as a gambler, if you invest what you can't afford to lose and then you lose, you won't be able to cope with the depression and sorrow that comes with your loss. You will continue to chase your loses until you lavish your wealth. 

2. Don't bet in a bad mood

Betting in a bad mood will only complicate things. One of the things that almost ruined my life in betting was that each time I lost a bet, I would accumulate matches a minute after because I wanted to make my money back. Sometimes, when you lose and feel unhappy, you can be tempted to bet in your unhappy mood but you can try turning off your computer. You will always have more opportunities in the coming days. 

3. Know when to pause or stop 

If you know you're losing regularly, it's wisdom to pause for a while when you're losing consistently. Try to re-evaluate yourself and your strategy and this will help you improve your chances of winning.

4. Follow your mind 

Always learn to follow your mind and stop following the betting tips and predictions of others. Sometimes, you lose not because you don't know how to bet but because you follow the minds of other people. Although, you can follow betting tips but following your own mind is paramount. 

I drop my pen at this juncture 

I hope this makes sense to someone?
