Yet the way I see it it’s all about factoring in the occasional losses.Thing is, every now and then, Liverpool lose to Crystal Palace, Ali gets Ko’d by Buster Douglas, or Gills win away.
Then your “cert” loses and you are behind again. If there was a dead set way to beat the bookies we’d all be millionaires.
Liverpool do lose 1 time out of 10 to palace. But using WX figures, if he has bet £100 with a £30 return the 9 times before that then providing the 10th time is still the same stake then what he loses is just collateral damage.
almost like a taxi driver needing new brakes and tyres, or a gardener needing new tools if you like.
I think the greed factor is probably most amateur gamblers undoing. And I can understand why.
I can hear the punter chatting to his mates now, “ Gillingham are historically crap away from home. They’re bound to lose against top of the table. I’m going big on it this week”. And then we all know what happens, lol!
I say this as someone who doesn’t gamble at all, and with limited knowledge of the bookmaking trade btw.
