After 3 Years of Betting, I Learned the Hard Truth

I started betting during COVID and soon got hooked. I lost money, chased losses, and kept deleting then reinstalling the apps. Then I realised it wasn’t the games that were the problem—it was my mindset. Everyone shares winning slips online, but nobody shows the many losers behind that one win. I learned that even a “sure” 1.30 odds can fail. A VAR review or a red card can wipe out your ticket. Now I bet small, only what I can afford to lose, and I never chase losses. Has anyone else broken this cycle? How did you change your approach?
