Bookmakers sometimes have the tendency to alter odds based on convenience. The outcome these odds reflect may not necessarily be true. Sometimes, bookmakers set the odds based on what they think public opinion is going to be like. They could give a well-liked, slightly superior team extremely low odds, and give the other side high odds simply because the they that people will bet on the former when in all reality both teams have a good chance of winning. It’s all confirmation bias at this point. Looking at the odds that a bookmaker has provided, a person would naturally bet on the team that has low odds. Bookies have the potential to sway the public into betting only on one side.
Betting bookies are also known to alter the odds to balance out bets. If they find that most people are placing bets only on the one outcome that is the most probable, they might manipulate the odds a little bit so that it seems like the less probable outcome has a fair chance at occurring.
Pro tip – learn how to calculate your own probabilities. Produce a system that works for you so that you would never have to rely on a bookmaker’s odds again.
I know what you’re thinking – Tipsters are supposed to be on your side, right? Well, unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Some tipsters are affiliate partners with bookmakers. Occasionally, they may deliberately provide their customers with incorrect odds, and send you over to bet with their partners with the hopes that you lose. This happens a lot more often with tipsters who provide their services for free, especially the ones on social media platforms like twitter. A quick word of advice – if you want to find a good, reliable betting tipsters, you will have to pay for it. But don’t worry, more often than not, your ROI will be worth it.
Bookmakers always seem to be encouraging their customers to place accumulator bets. They seem to go above and beyond in their efforts – often offering high bonuses. These offers seem to get more tempting with each line you add.
There is a reason for this. Accumulator bets are very hard to win. All it takes is one small slip up, and you’re doomed. To you, it may be just one lost bet, nothing to fret over. But imagine the number of people who decided to give it a shot and failed. Accumulator best are a huge source of profit for bookies. So of course, they’ll try their best to get you to make one. If you want to be strategic about things, stay away from them unless you’re absolutely certain about each and every selection that you make.
We're concerned about problem gambling. For most people, gambling is entertainment - a fun activity that can be enjoyed without harmful effect. But for some, it's not just a game - it's a serious problem that continues even after the fun has gone.
Compulsive gambling is not easily detected. The person with a gambling problem will often go to great lengths to cover up the problem and will appear to look all right, regardless of the consequences of their gambling.
Warning Signs. Some of the indicators that a person may be suffering from a gambling problem include:
Losing time from work or family due to gambling.
Repeated failed attempts to stop or control gambling.
Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts.
Gambling to escape worry or trouble.
Neglecting the care of one's self or family in order to gamble.
Lying about the amount of time and money spent on gambling.
Gambling more money in an attempt to win back losses.
Selling or pawning personal possessions to get money to gamble.
Feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide as a result of gambling.
