Sports betting can be viewed as a kind of sports discipline, because the analogies suggest themselves. There are also victories and defeats, adrenaline and a whole storm of emotions while you are “pulling the bet” and after its outcome. In this article, I would like to compare betting activities with various sports and offer to choose your own convenient rhythm of the season, by analogy with big professional sports. Let’s also feel like a little sportsmen and gamify your betting season. Moreover, there are also different options for this.
In the rhythm of the football season
The most logical option, which is probably understandable to most. Everything is simple here, you regularly bet, not necessarily every day, but regularly a couple of times a week. Win-lose, your profit is a kind of place in the standings in relation to the tasks that you set yourself before the start of the season. At the end of the season, you see the final result and reward yourself, if there is something to reward, of course. For example, not losing the entire bankroll for the season is maintaining a residence permit in the elite division, because you still have money to play with. Near zero or a small minus – you are the middle peasant of the table. A small plus is like entering European competitions, a noticeable plus is the Champions League zone, and a multiple increase in the bankroll is the championship. It is better to clarify the goals and set them before the start of the season, and this way your betting season will be much more interesting.
With the intensity of a basketball or hockey season
In fact, such a season duplicates the football season – regular bets throughout the season, but with one important caveat. Toward the end of the traditional season, in the spring, your flat becomes higher, there is such a roll of the flat.
Why is that? These are games of increased responsibility, like the playoffs in the basketball or hockey season, the stakes are literally or figuratively higher. It turns out that for two thirds of the season you got in shape and maintained your game tone, increased some profit or received losses, and in the decisive phase of the season you have the opportunity to radically change the current situation, both in plus and minus.
There is some addition that I recommend, if by the spring your profit is negative, then consider that this season will pass for you without a playoff, and then it’s better not to increase the flat so as not to aggravate losses. And if there was an increase, then “welcome to the club”, make the wind in the final part of the season in an attempt to break the real jackpot.
Tennis season analogue
A very convenient format can offer a tennis season. You play in cycles: a week or several weeks, then a break, then another series of game weeks, another break, and so on. You can even start a separate bankroll for each such cycle, “dip” and withdraw money, fixing the result not only on paper.
What is the convenience? The rhythm of regular bets is far from suitable for everyone, it is tiring, the monotony kills many. The format, when you actively work for a certain period, and then exit the game, fixing an intermediate loss or profit, is not without meaning and can suit a lot of people. Profit for each segment gives a clear understanding of your success and minimizes the possibility of a breakdown and playing not according to your bankroll, as in a regular season, when you reassure yourself that you will have time to recoup, and the distance will write everything off. Thus, each such cycle can be considered as a separate project, and the season – as a set of projects. The tennis analogy is direct, you choose when to play, much like tennis players on tour.
Almost like a Formula 1 season
Another option that involves active work only on the weekend. For many, for whom betting is a hobby, it is not so easy to find time on weekdays for betting. But on weekends, you can immerse yourself in the thick of sporting events, especially since there are especially many of them on weekends. Like a racing weekend, a player passes tests (plays on paper or with minimum stakes below the usual face value) and gets in shape on Friday, when there are few events and you can play pointwise, but the main focus is already on Saturday and Sunday.
Based on the results of the weekend, we can conclude that the entire weekend was successful. Here you can also make a deposit for every weekend in order to record the result not only on paper, but with real profit or loss, as it goes.
In the rhythm of boxing and MMA
If you bet occasionally, then this betting rhythm is applicable to you. You, like a fighter in the ring, make several point, possibly large bets, on events in which you are sure, where you see your benefit or think that this is so. You do not need any betting rhythm, season, etc., and the bets themselves are just one of the tools for monetizing your knowledge, opinion and intuition.
Conclusion
In this article, I have considered five of the most obvious betting analogies with the seasons of different sports. You yourself choose your betting rhythm, taking care of psychological comfort, as it is very important for the common cause. The main thing is to achieve maximum efficiency, and your inner mood directly affects this.
