Gambling is not investing.

So my answer is NO.

i only trust fixed matches which means 100% sure hit kang tao.

As for tips no matter how high the strike rate of the source is, if my own personal pick is different from it, i won't place on it.

hey, there is no such thing as 100% sure hit...
if it is real, those tipsters already becomes an millionaire and there is no need for them to sell these type of tips.

sports betting can be an Investment, just like stocks and properties, provided you are discipline enough. Subscribe to an paid service and still with it, do not bet anything extra else you will not make any profit and will suffer a lose.
this is advise from an semi-retire bettor who gets burnt very badly....still recovering from it.

there are indeed fixed matches going on around the world, possible to find such sources if one is willing to pay 10k for a pick, that means the amount u bet is really a big 1 compare to any normal tipsters out there.

Another method for *sure win* is u need to have the capital to play, follow a team thru out a season. Double, triple up ur bets and end of e day u'll be richer for sure.

no, cos there are no such things as 90% hit such things. If you get 75% hit, you would already be very happy liao.

Gamblers see "bets" as investments.

There are no differences between someone who gambles in the casinos, or someone who speculate in stick markets and shares or someone who buys TOTO or 4D, or someone who place bets on horses or football. They are all gamblers.

There is no 100% sure win bet, if there was, all of us do not need a job at all and become full time punters.

Gambling is an addiction and all of us should gamble within our means.
