Well, the way you put this is a bit confusing to be honest, a head or tail game is a type of game which I believe that outcome simply depends on luck, that is, how lucky the player is is what determines how much or how many turns he or she would win and how many he or she would lose.

So to simply answer the question based on how little I understand it, luck is the ultimate deciding factor here as to whether this game will be profitable for the player or not. Some lucky players may end up in profit while some others may end up in a loss, this is what I think and believe, gambling outcome isn't always the same result for everyone.

You are absolutely right and I completely agree with you, this is one of the reasons why I've always avoided this so called tipsters who would ask for a monthly or lifetime subscription fees for their tips on sports betting, same goes with trading as well.
I have meet with traders who claim to be professionals and charge over $400 simply to get into their inner circle, they claim to know when to buy every coin and when to sell, they also showcase a very luxury lifestyle on the internet to give their followers the impression that they are really making money from the business, and this will force most of the followers to want to join the inner circle so they too could start making that much money as well.

99% of them are nothing but scammers, but unfortunately, most people never learn until they have experienced the scam first hand.

I think experiences like this has everything to do with how aggressive we gamble or a person takes gambling, I didn't experience any of such thing that made me want to quit gambling for ever only to later return back to it because right from time when I started gambling newly, I was busy with alot of other stuffs which didn't permit me the time to gamble too frequently, and as a matter of fact, only once have I ever lost money I regretted deeply, that also didn't make me swore to quit gambling, I simply took a break of almost one year before I gambled again.

So, if as a newbie gambler, we learn from such early stage to risk only what or an amount we can afford to lose, then we well perhaps; never get to this stage of wanting to quit only to later return back again.

I have never found myself in such a situation and though it's said we should never say never, but I don't think I will ever find myself in such a situation owning to the fact that I don't take gambling that serious, and I am also a very busy person who only gambles when I have the time, leisure to spend on what I find most interesting at that particular time.

Those who gamble and lose, and promise themselves never to gamble again and then return back to it after some days or weeks really don't have any thing serious they are doing with their life, if the have, gambling will always be the last thing on their mind as there will always have something more important to do or think about all the time..

Well, I don't know and I am not really going to argue whether or not consistent winning is really possible in sports betting, this doubt is based on the fact that I have not really come across anyone who claim to be winning consistently, even the so called professionals or those who tag themselves are professional sports bettors.

I have atleast few in my area who have nothing else doing aside gambling, majorly sports betting and some times, they spend up to 3, 4 hours analyzing games and making research, at the end of the day, they still lose, this is one reason that made me say that even with a high IQ, if luck isn't on your side as a sports bettor, you definitely lose more games than you win, this is the experience of so many sports bettors, and I mean the intellegent ones.

I may want to disagree and say that long term winning in sports betting is simply born out of beinf a good analyzer/predictor as well as being lucky, because anything that has to do with gambling definitely required being lucky to some extent to win, this to me has nothing, or as good as nothing to do with IQ, which in other word means sense or being intelligent.

But then, if we are to face reality, I would say that it's pretty hard to find someone or anyone who bets on sports and wins constantly and even for the long term without any experience of loses or long losing streak and so on.
IQ is definitely the bedrock or backbone with which we succeed on anything we do in this life, but not completely with gambling since even the stupidiest of person can win multiple times and even in the long term out of simple research and luck being on their side.

Yeah, I am thinking along this same line too, without having  divided attention like they had last season, I seriously expect Manchester united to perform way better in the premier league way better than they did last season, the club performed well in the europa league last season which many speculate was their reason for the poor performance in the premier league same season..

But coming fort this season, Manchester united have nothing else to worry about except the premier league, so again, I believe there is every possibility that the club will do well this season even if Amorim decide not to change any player.

The desire for big profit or winning big amount of money off gambling or from gambling is not harmful if you know how to put yourself under control, I personally have always desired to hit that big jackpot one of this days while gambling, unfortunately, I hasn't happened yet and I can't stop dreaming and hoping it happens soon.

But then, this desire have not made me forget the risk that is involved with gambling, I know the repercussion that comes with making any useless mistake and losing money I wasn't even supposed to gamble with, so I always put myself under serious check when ever I gamble, making sure that I am not spending more than I can afford to lose even while thinking and desiring my jackpot.

So many people around the world have gone crazy, really crazy, did this guys think about the fact that is paraadventure, Jesus comes returns on or before the said December 31st, there will be choas all over the world? Almost every businesses around the world will crumble including polymarket itself, who then is going to settle the bet for those that voted or betted on "yes", how will they get the money they won? How can they even use the money when it may be completely useless by then? Many people don't really know what they are doing...

And speaking for this bet, I think it's a safe bet for those betting on "No" because obviously, Jesus is not returning in 2025, when he will return, I believe non of us will even be talking about it.

Good you spoke for yourself and not for everyone generally, because like i did said in my previous comment, I know not less than 5 or 6 persons who actively play any game that their favorite celebrity posts online and playing, according to them, it gives them this type of vibe of living a celebrity life because they are doing exactly what their favorite celebrity is doing 😂, this is nothing but simply being stupid.

Goes a long way to show how naive some persons can indeed be, like you said, it's absolutely alright to fan a celebrity, because here in my place, there a common saying that "when one serves a king, when he too becomes a king, others will serve him as well" but then, unnecessarily losing my hard earned to a casino as a result of a celebrity who I may never even meet in real life, is really really bad (I don't want to use the word "stupid" again).

Definitely positive in regards to the answer to your question, but for me though, I don't fancy fanship, that is, I am not a fan to any celebrity per say, I just like the ones I like and dislike the ones I dislike, I can't point to any celebrity right now and say I am a die-hard fan of his or she, and because of this, you will never find me doing anything simply because one celebrity someone is doing that very same thing, no no, like I love Drake, I love his music, but you will never find me playing a particular type of game because that is the game drake loves to play, and as a matter of fact, I am not gambling because drake gambles, never.

But on the other hand, I have friends who are die-hard fan of some celebrities, and they are willing to go into any thing they see that celebrity is into, this is one of the reason why celebrities get endorsement deals from big companies, because they believe that by winning the celebrity over, they win the fan base of the celebrity to become their customers..

So yeah, it's very possible for many people around the world to play or get into gambling simply because they are a fan to a celebrity who is Gambling, but like I said before, I am not that type of person.

I was already thinking what you guys meant by relieving ones excitement, or one relieving his or her excitement, I was already wondering whether it's now a bad thing for a person to be excited, but thank you for your further explanation, that gave me an edge and made me understand better what you meant.

It is already known by many of us that too much of everything is bad, too much of boredom or sadness results in depression which if not treated on time could lead to suicide (the victim killing him or herself), while too much excitement can also lead to life threatening issues, like I've watched someone ran across an express and got knocked down by a vehicle out of excitement, he died while he was being rushed to the hospital, what was his reason for the excitement? He won a lotto jackpot worth over hundreds of millions in my local currency, the money won was indeed huge enough to warrant such an excitement, but unfortunately, thr excitement drove him to his death, this is one of the reasons why there is a limit to everything, whether good or bad.

Choices of when to gamble and when not to gamble depends on individuals respectively and also depends on the magnitude of the situation an individual finds him or her self in.
Some people get into some deep serious emotional issues and then turn to gambling as a way or means of finding solace/peace and calming their nerves and this just works out perfectly for them.
While others who try doing the same thing in times of emotional trouble end up getting their self in a more serious emotional situation, issues due to them losing more they never planned or expected to lose.

So the nutshell of what I am saying is, it's important for a person to find what gives them joy when down emotionally and stick to doing that, like for example, what mostly gets me up and going when I am emotionally down is listening to good music or seeing a very interesting movie, I only gamble when I am very bored and really want to whined away time.

I am not really smart when it comes to sports betting of this style but I would definitely go with the moneyline if I was you, because judging from the little I understand, moneyline in this particular bet seems more profitable and at the same time, less of a risk compared to the other bet you said someone on the same betting group was or is offering you.

But again on the other hand, stick with your instinct if you are someone who believes in instincts never failing, and also know that you are responsible for whatever decision you end up with, doesn't matter if the decision was an advice a user gave in this thread, if you end up losing, remember to take responsibility for your loss and don't hold anyone here responsible, and also very importantly, bet what you can afford to loss.

The future is unpredictable (as many would say) but we still try to predict what would happen in the future and sometimes, this prediction turns out to be true while other times, or most of the time rather, the prediction turns out to be false as what is predicted to happen doesn't happen or end up not happening when it was predicted to happen..

This is exactly same thing that happen in gambling, gambling doest come with some form of unpredictability as you said, it's basically unpredictable but like we do with the future, we also with with gambling, sometimes based on past events while other times, we simply just predict our of our very own instincts.
And as something we are not sure of, winning and losing is what we get at the end, some for some, they win while for most, they lose, this is why it's important we always bet with an amount we can afford to lose because initially, it's hard to know whether we will win or lose.

Only once have I regretted my actions in gambling, which was a mistake I made, I wouldn't say it was a stupid mistake, but sincerely, it made me feel very stupid at the time, but I am happy I learned from it and have never repeated such mistake or made any other mistake I ended up regretting. For like someone said, a mistake made once is indeed a mistake, but a mistake made multiple times is stupidity, in my place, there is this saying that "when an elderly person falls from a toilet sit once, it's a mistake, but when it happens again and again, then that person should be checked well because something is definitely wrong with him or her".

The only time I regretted my action in gambling was when i used $3k I saved up (my entire life savings both in and outside crypto) to bet on one sports match (Argentina vs Saudi Arabia in 2022 world cup tournament) one of the events I can never forget as long as I live, I believed this game was an easy win for Argentina but unfortunately, Saudi Arabia won by 1 goal to nill, i lost the money, I felt devastated, I felt like I was going to die, the shock was so much I fainted and had to be taken to the hospital, at that time, this was money I can not afford to lose, but I ended up losing it, this experience taught me a great lesson to never be so confident in a team that I bet what I can not afford to lose.

Well, two wrongs can not make a right you know, in a discussion, if everyone else misunderstands the op and are then talking out of point, you don't ignore them simply because the starter of that discussion isn't saying anything, as a matter of fact, he or she may not even be reading other people's comments except for the few ones he or she decided to reply to.

Taking it upon yourself to try to correct the few or as much as you can isn't a big deal if you ask me, I also do this often times anytime I visit a thread and find a comment that isn't inline with what is being discussed, I politely draw correct the user, making him or her understand what the op meant if his or her off or out-of-line comment is as a result of misunderstanding the op, this is one of the ways we teach, and also learn, to better improve ourselves even while discussing matters of interest.

As a matter of fact and based on how much I know about gambling, strategies don't increase a gamblers chances of winning, but it sure can increase one's chances of not running into errors like losing control of yourself while gambling which could lead you into spending more than what was budgeted for gambling and potentially losing more money than you were willing to lose.

If strategy had any way of increasing our chances of winning, I believe there are several smart gamblers around the world who would have by now, developed a working strategy that alot of us who are gamblers would have been using to win more games than we lose.

In sports betting for example, it doesn't matter the type of strategy we implore, our strategy will not and can never change what happens on the pitch which is the true determinant of whether we win our bet or lose it, in slot and casino games as well, regardless of whatever type of strategy we implore, we need good luck on ourside to win, else, we Wil still lose, this is why I said strategy does not increase our chances of winning when it comes to gambling.

Every thing you have said is correct, and though you didn't tell us whether or not you personally will take the loan or see it as a trap, but then, from what you said, I can already guess what your answer to this question would be..

It's definitely a trap indeed, though it's not wrong to take a loan from a friend if what that friend really does for a living it to give out loans, but then, when taking a loan, it should be for something very serious, and if what the money will be used for is business or investment, that business or investment must have a 100% guarantee that capital will be gotten back, and there will be good profit too, because it's from the profit made that we can be able to pay the interest that came with the loan.

On no account should anyone borrow money to gamble, whether there is a strategy to pay the money back or not, it's always better to gamble with one's own money.

Absolutely right, no one should ever make the mistake of gambling with money that was taken as a loan, investing in cryptocurrencies, specially Altcoins with money collected as a loan is highly risky, very risky, how much more gambling with the same money?

Best way to enjoy gambling is to first get rid of all unnecessary and self made risk, there is a type of risk I refer to as self made risks, a good example is like the one I talked about above "gambling with money that is or was collected as a loan" etc.
Get rid of such risk by making sure what you are spending on gambling is your own money and extra money as well, and also making sure that the amount being spent is one we can comfortably afford to lose and it won't affect our mode.
