1: Novice: They believe that football betting is different from other lotteries and that as long as they know the strength of the teams, they can make correct bets. They tend to bet on strong teams or play it safe by betting on a draw. If they win, they are ecstatic, but if they keep losing, they become disheartened.
2: General Public: The majority fall into this category. They have a sense of the strength of teams and are aware of potential upsets. They try to prevent upsets based on their subjective judgment or by checking team injuries and recent form. However, they often end up losing because they either prevent the wrong upset or fail to prevent the right one.
3: Average at Handicapping: Many fall into this category, just behind the general public. They have a sense of the strength of teams and the potential for upsets, and they study a lot of information. However, their judgments are mostly based on subjective speculation, trying to guess the bookmakers' intentions. If they get it right a few times, they may become overconfident in their handicapping skills, but most of the time, they are wrong. Some people start to lose faith in handicapping and believe that football betting, like other lotteries, is based on luck. Others believe that their analysis is not thorough enough and continue to rely on handicapping.
4: Handicapping Awareness: Also known as handicapping statistical type, this group has a lot of experience and can identify patterns in certain handicaps that tend to produce certain outcomes. They analyze the fundamental and current situation of each game and combine it with the handicap to make predictions. They occasionally achieve success but still end up losing money because any statistical analysis has its flaws. In this group, there are three types of people: those who boast about their skills in various forums and groups but eventually disappear after revealing their true colors; those who believe that football betting is a combination of skill and luck, and that they just lack luck, so they stop there, believing that their skills will eventually lead to a big win; and a very few who believe that handicapping is a profound study that requires hard work, and they believe they can learn and succeed.
5: Handicapping Model: Generally, only the third type of handicapping awareness can reach this level. After painstaking exploration and discussion, they have developed their own handicapping model and no longer rely solely on simple handicap statistics to predict matches. However, they ultimately find that their model only ensures that they do not lose money, and sometimes they still incur significant losses. Many people stop here, thinking that since they are not losing, it's just a matter of luck, so they stop advancing.
6: Initial Profit: After improving their handicap model and combining it with other methods, they have developed a new method. Betting mainly on football and other sports can be profitable, but the profits are not high, and they dare not invest too much. There is always a fear of losing, and sometimes they lose all their accumulated profits after a few big bets, which is a pity for many wrong predictions, but there is no way to further break through.
7: Stable Profit: They are not afraid of betting heavily, with each bet amounting to thousands. Their profits are also in the tens of thousands. They are considered professional bettors. However, they do not bet on leagues they are unfamiliar with because even if they bet, they know it is a dead bet. Achieving this level is already extremely rare.
8: Super Profit: They have a winning rate of over 80% in the matches they predict, and the returns from a single bet can reach dozens of times the bet amount. However, they still dare not act rashly in unfamiliar matches. |
