I love studying gambling strategies—reading books, analyzing odds, and finding ways to get an edge. But lately, I feel like a lot of players (myself included) are overcomplicating things.
A friend of mine just started betting on football, and I tried explaining expected value (EV), betting markets, and line movement strategies. His response? "So... should I just bet on the better team or not?"
And honestly? He’s not wrong.
Some of the best gambling strategies are super simple:
Bankroll management—Don't bet more than you can afford.
Shop for the best odds—A small difference in odds makes a huge impact.
Don’t chase losses—One of the biggest killers of any bankroll.
I’m not saying deep strategy doesn’t help, but sometimes it feels like people are trying to outthink randomness.
Anyone else feel like keeping it simple is sometimes the best approach, or do you always go full strategy mode?
