I played Liverpool to win or draw against Crystal Palace. And the bet was winning around five minutes for the match to end. Crystal Palace scored in stoppage time and the bet was lost. It was an accumulated bet. All the other seven games had played. That one game ruined the whole ticket.
In my country, you can only get paid in the exact shop that you placed the bet. Another bet shop, even if it is in the same betting company won't take the liability of paying a customer that won but did not play in their shop. They won't be reimbursed by the company.
Betting sites are pure businesses and they have to find a way to increase their revenue and profits. If a site that was specialized in sports betting now offers slot and blackjack, they want to keep the bettors engaged in between kick off. And they in turn make more money.
I really had to learn self discipline practically when I started sports betting. It was after I lost money severally with chasing losses that I leaned to set a budget and walk away when that limit is hit. That has helped me in several other aspects of life like investment and dieting.
Arsenal is in the form of their existence. They play the best football in the Premier leave this season. They have a good balance of attack and defense. The challenge is if they have the mentality to grind it out to the very last stages of the season without crumbling. They have a good chance of...
Winning a poker tournament is not about one hand, it is about mental fortitude to stay and make a thousand correct decisions even when short. My best strategy when short is to focus on survival first. I always stay patient and would stick solely to playing hands that have high removal equity...
With poker, taking up a tiny initial buy-in and working it up bit by bit is a very good way to get higher value at lower risks. I always subscribe to satellites that pay multiple tickets. With that, variance is at the barest minimum and time is also maximized maximized. For someone like me that...
United have been in some sort of resurgence. They have already beaten Liverpool and Chelsea. Their coach finally listened to wise counsel and reverted to a back four. Let's hope they would end the season with a high and at least, win one trophy.
I like to play safe, and I always buy in for 50-75 BuyBacks as I start my first session. My daily session limit is always set at 3 buy-ins. With that, chances of me tilting are mitigated. I would be patient enough to be certain that I can beat the current stake for at least 100,000 hands. When I...
I see the logic in a new player starting with freerolls and play money. That's fine for at least the first one to two months of playing poker. That's to get familiarise with the entire poker system. After that, the new poker player should push and take up low stake cash games. That's where...
When I am on a long trip, I always charge my power bank and phone full knowing that my smartphone would be guaranteed to have power throughout the duration of the trip. I then download different hip hop playlists that can take me for the duration of the trip. Up to 10.I listen to each of them...
I always try my best not to get frustrated midway in a poker game. That's the beginning of tilt for me. The biggest pot I tilted was simply because of frustration. I was so frustrated that I had to overplay a top pair hand and I lost badly. So when I lose a specified amount, I just end the...

I lean more towards small progressive goals when I am building my poker bankroll. With every small target I hit with my bankroll, I am motivated and I don't get myself pressured over big numbers. What that approach does for me is that I am never under pressure to force actions when the cards...
The only thing that I might probably add to this is that good bankroll management helps you to approach poker from a long term point of view. With a good bankroll management, I don't chase quick results. With good bankroll management, one is not impulsive when they want to move up stakes.
There is this feeling that comes with winning that makes you feel like you are invincible. The thing is that if you don't take time, you would lose all your winnings again. That euphoric confidence point is when mistakes always happen the most. I always stop after two hours of continuous poker...
