Yes, the problem of those who once plunged into the world of gambling is the same, someone with the goal of easy money, as it seems at first, or as a fan of their team and the first bet was an incentive for loyalty and devotion, yes, many reasons to get into this dizzying world of excitement and adrenaline. But, still, there is a but... I have the same experience in this hobby, and this is exactly how you need to approach this business and no other, for almost 30 years (since 1996). Believe me, I have tried, rethought, quit and started again, switched to trading securities, forex and cryptocurrency, tried to change the hobby to fishing (which is also a very expensive pleasure)... But nevertheless, I still place bets, yes, there is one strategy, I will not talk about it now, sometimes I make meaningless bets at random, on intuition, I place express bets. But a fan of his business must have a principle... I look at it as a parallel reality, which has its own laws and rules, its own psychology, there are ups and downs, joys and disappointments. After all, this is how our entire reality in everyday life is arranged, only the world of betting is a small component of global realities. The masses of people who are not involved in our hobby call us sick, but they also have their own flaws and shortcomings. Calling us gambling addicts, they drink alcohol in excessive quantities and do not consider themselves alcoholics, smoking three or more joints of weed a day do not consider themselves drug addicts, systematically driving through a red light and do not consider themselves violators of traffic rules. Therefore, in my opinion, it is impossible to quit being a bettor, just understand that setting a goal for yourself to make money on this or beat the bookmaker is self-deception. The bookmaker's office will always be in the black thanks to the margin and the balance of money. There the meaning is very simple, the margin is the net profit, the balance of money is the balancing due to the coefficients of accepting money for paying out winnings at the expense of losers. Exchanges take their commission for the transaction, they do not care at all who won or lost. As the classic said, "Our whole life is a game" and our hobby should be treated exactly as much. When placing bets, you must initially understand that the allocated amount from the family budget is already a loss, waste, here you need to sacrifice something, either go to a restaurant several times a month and have a good time there, enjoying delicious food and alcoholic drinks, or get another dose of adrenaline from the fact that you make a forecast for the outcome of events. But you should not consider this as a source of income. Let the winnings be a pleasant financial bonus, in order to get additional pleasure from the fact that with this money you will give flowers to your beloved woman, or buy an unplanned toy for children, or just arrange an outing to the cinema or theater with loved ones. Try to switch your worldview that a hobby is a source of satisfaction not only from guessed results, but also from a playful lifestyle. Everyone who is in betting, all players and you need to live measuredly and playfully. Find like-minded people in the hobby, discuss strategies, statistics, make bets among yourselves, and then the winner sets the table with drinks and delicacies at his discretion with the jackpot, and the losers obediently drink and eat... Reconfigure your approach to betting and you will always be a winner, because here it is definitely and definitely not about money, it is about the game!!!

As a hobby for interest this strategy is so bad, if you consider it as an income, it is not ideal at all. First of all, any person with mathematical ability is clear that on a long distance all the same bank will come to zero, very large negative expectation. In the second place, if you take into account that the result is counted in estimated units (points), there is no sense of excitement, because the clear leader of the calculation of bookmaker odds will win with a probability of 90-95%. If it is purely for sporting interest, I would take equal matches, there is excitement and adrenaline. The approach to bank management is correct. Try to take the same principle (5-6%) of the bank, but with odds from 1.8 to 2.
