These experiences and occurrences are the reasons why bettors and gamblers are advised to do such for fun and with what they can afford to lose, because betting is very risky and winning can never be guaranteed. But when you do it for fun, such losses can never bother you because you have made up your mind towards the game to be for fun, and whatever the result or outcome is, you will accept it as fate.
this is a wise approach towards betting and gambling, by viewing it as entertainment and betting it with money you know do away with. because betting with what you know if you lose it won't be so hard on you, reduces financial pressure, to me the first primary purpose is entertainment and not financial gain, because i understand that loses are part of the experience that helps manage emotions.
While you are at it anyway, you would rather be making money than just entertaining yourself. Being a fan of the sport like OP, he would spend time analyzing teams and athletes, if this makes him enjoy doing so, he would feel more confident with his analysis.
The ones who win in sports betting is the one that's entertained the most. If he just won that 10 games, it will confirm his understanding of the sports and at the same time gained.
