Some thoughts about sports betting

By Serge Gorelikov | Published: November 19, 2025

I expect that you are prepared enough to make the decision to bet. This is not a holiday. This is not a guarantee of positive results. In fact, it's a guarantee of uncertainty.

You won't win every day. You'll be doing things that aren't always clear in advance. No one is going to teach you. No one is going to care about your feelings. You came here to work for results. If you'll give up, it's not a problem at all. Maybe betting simply isn't for you. And that's totally normal.

What's not normal is screaming about difficulties when you haven't even faced them yet. Everyone has their own distance. Their own path. And it is always hard and uncertain. You place bets yourself. No one forces you. All victories are yours. Yet all losses are yours as well.

Teams owe you nothing. Sport is unpredictable. However, our actions must be predictable. If you don't know how to accept losses as experience, you won't learn anything.

Remember: your bankroll is a drop in the bucket. It is tiny. Treat it as the price for education.

Learn effectively; otherwise, it's not the price of learning, but the cost of foolishness. You're buying experience cheaply. These aren't excuses. These are facts. Facts every successful person knows.

To open a business, you would need at least €100,000 and full-time dedication 24/7. Payback - at best - will come in a year and a half. No guarantees. No safety net. No right to be lazy.

In betting, you need up to €1,000 to start learning. Feel the difference.

How poor is the level of personal development when a meltdown over spending a few cents outweighs potential success in life?

Even the best text won't be understood by everyone. Because many come to betting to continue complaining about life they don't participate in. Because "I want it fast" is more important to them than understanding "How it really works."

I know what I have chosen. Betting is one of the most toxic spheres on the internet.

And I'm ready. I have thousands of verified results. This is my totem against the hysteria of people unprepared for reality.

I'm not a populist. I'm a realist. Who likes that?

In business, in marriage, in sports, in personal development - only a few achieve results, even though everyone knows everything.

So why do you think betting should be any different?
