Lets take a hypothetical wager. I give you 30 seconds with each if 5 sportsbettors to determine if they are going to be longterm winners or longterm losers. You win if you can tell me with accuracy and you lose if you fail to predict it right. How would you spend your 30 seconds with each person?
I know what I would ask. It would be one simple question:
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy studying for a game, betting a game, and watching that game?
From that single question, I can tell a lot.
I think there is a direct inverse relationship between enjoyment of sportsgambling and longterm profitability. Those that enjoy the process the most lose the most – and those that get no enjoyment win the most. Simple.
From my scientific double blind studies of covers posters – the ones that always get in to trouble are the ones who bet games because they love it. People who are totally emotionally removed are the ones who do well long term.
I guess this is similar to real life because emotions cloud good judgment, but gambling amplifies this to 11.
