Help for addicts
Popan is a player who cannot succeed in sports betting due to rash and stupid actions. Such a bettor lives today, does not plan the game, does not think about the distance, does not analyze events, relies solely on the odds and does not understand the basics of managing the game bank. All this and not only refers to the populace.
Popanism is common to almost all beginners. Someone quickly understands mistakes, corrects them and begins to develop, while someone remains in the role of a trap forever.
If you are experiencing problems with gambling addiction, suffer from gambling addiction and generally cannot stop placing bets, take a look at the section with the help of addicts and seek qualified help from a medical institution before it is too late

The criteria for popanism
The lack of match analysis is the main reason. If you have a goal to make money on betting, then you need to stop thinking like an ordinary fan. You come across a familiar team or player in the list of a bookmaker's office and immediately bet in their favor, thinking that the odds of 1.25 are a guarantee of winning? It was not so.
The choice is based not on logic, sound reasoning and some facts, but on the idea and / or sign of the match. The outcome quote is not the real probability of the event. The lower the odds, the higher the chances of success – a common myth. Regular bets on odds in the region of 1.05-1.25 are the most obvious sign of popanism.
The second important point is the lack of money management. There is no game bank as such. We set as much as there is on the balance sheet. If the bettor does not go all-in, then the entire deposit is distributed over 2-4 predictions. If successful, the appetite increases and the cycle repeats. No matter how many winnings there are, sooner or later the account will be reset. And to recoup at meager odds is not that impossible, but very difficult and long. To cover one failure, it is required that 4-7 or more bets have played (depending on the quotes).
Based on all of the above, the main reasons for the failure can be identified:
- Bets on scanty odds in favor of the favorites, which, moreover, are also loaded;
- Lack of a plan and misunderstanding of the distance (the game continues until the bank is drained);
- There is not even a superficial analysis of basic data (standings, recent matches, face-to-face meetings).
Popan's days are identical. The beginning is the same, the end is the same. The saddest thing is that a person rarely connects these days. There is only “here and now”, a great desire to snatch the jackpot, uncontrollable excitement …
Practical way
The best prevention against popanism is to understand that betting on favorites, chosen at random, will never lead to success in the distance. I suggest using the following method.
Allocate a certain amount, say, 500 rubles. Fund your account at a bookmaker's office where you rarely bet so that these funds do not overlap with the balance of other bookmakers.
Choose a sport that you don't understand at all (so that the names of clubs and athletes do not tell you anything). If possible, give preference to disciplines without a draw (basketball, tennis, ping-pong, American football).
Make bets for a certain amount, for example, 50 rubles each to win all the underdogs. Yes, you need to bet on outsiders with odds of 2.5. The balance should be enough for a distance of 30-50 trades.
An alternative is to use a virtual account or record the results in a table. True, in the second case, you will have to enter the data into a file, then calculate everything, and so on. It's easier to allocate a small amount and, say, in a week, look at the result in the bookmaker's account.
You will see how many successful bets you make. Drawdowns are possible, maybe even up to 50% of the bankroll, but income in the amount of 10-30% to the deposit is not excluded. Random bets will not bring profit, but you will confirm in practice that a low quote is not a guarantee of winning.
When you are personally convinced that deals with the odds 5.5, 3.05, 8, 5.75, etc. pass, then popanism gradually recedes.
I opened the results of the previous day's basketball matches and found quite a few sensations. In the screenshot, I left only those matches for which the service published the odds for the outcomes W1 and W2.
As you can see, there are enough surprises. He also emphasized two fights in which the outsider was close to success, losing 3-10 points.
How to eliminate populations?
Do the opposite to stop being a pop. What exactly should you do?
Create a global plan – at least 2-3 months. Set three clear parameters:
- Initial deposit;
- Target;
- The term for achieving the goal.
Think of the game day as a milestone to complete your plan.
Set a realistic goal based on your capabilities, including financial ones. To complete the tasks, everything should be calculated and a strategy should be developed. Obviously, bets on scanty all-in odds will not work for this.
Having formed a bankroll, play with lower percentages – no more than 5%. This will prevent quick drawdowns and instant loss of all funds. Sometimes such simple and even obvious steps are enough to start playing with a small plus (or at least zero).
If you add match analysis, analyzing many factors, and not rely solely on the value of the odds, then success is only a matter of time. Do not forget to work on mistakes and identify the cause of unsuccessful decisions, so as not to repeat them.
Discarding reinforced concrete and sure-fires, working quotes will not fall for 1.5. Smaller values do not have to be ignored. If a team goal, double chance or handicap is confirmed by analysis, even if the odds for the outcome are 1.3, you can combine such options into express bets – doubles and tees.
Summary
Understand that playing activity is not limited to one day – count on distance. Place a bet based on a forecast and a number of factors, not a quote.
By following the guidelines described above, you will stop making absurd mistakes. Having got rid of the populace, continue to develop as a bettor and pull up other areas: in fact, the analysis itself, live betting, psychology.
