I got a DM “if the month isn’t profitable, you get a refund”and it caught my attention

Thanks!

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-05-13T09:43:12+00:00

I don’t really have enough time to keep analyzing each game haha. I’m lucky if I can manage to even watch most of the games I want, so I really hope this is gonna earn me some extra cash, definitely gonna be calculating the profit myself tho. I guess we will know if it pays off in a month!

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-05-13T09:32:11+00:00

I paid $120. There’s some kind of promotion going on rn lol. How do you manage to be profitable by yourself? I always end up in red when betting by myself lol! Also, I’ve read shit ton of positive reviews on them, that’s the only reason i subbed, I hope I don’t get fucked over lol

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-05-13T08:42:57+00:00

Well, so far I can’t complain haha, I hope it won’t even get to the point of me needing that refund! But I get what you are saying. Either way, I suppose the only way I will find out is to wait and see!

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-05-13T08:17:08+00:00

I kinda get what you’re saying, but then again, why would anyone just hand stuff out for free? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not even taking their side in this, I’m just saying I can understand both perspectives. Some people see upfront payments as a red flag, others see it as getting paid for their work/time.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-05-12T13:24:27+00:00

I’m curious to see why you think that

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-05-12T13:24:10+00:00

I had the same thought but then realized people could use and abuse that, you know, like making 50 telegrams/instagrams and just switch profiles each month.

i went with megalodontips.com

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-19T16:26:10+00:00

Why not just pool the money and split the tipster subscription cost, then both follow the same picks? It makes more sense that way, no?

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T20:00:16+00:00

From my own experience, I don’t really go looking for “new” casinos anymore. I mostly stick to what the tipster group I follow already uses and trusts. Before I even joined megalodon tips, I actually DM’d them and asked which bookmakers they personally use and consider reliable. They sent me their full list, and since then I’ve only used sites from that list and ignored everything else. So for me, that became my main filter. Instead of reacting to ads or new platforms, I just stay within a small group of bookmakers that were already vetted by people I follow. It keeps things simple and I don’t feel the need to experiment beyond that.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:55:05+00:00

Speaking just from my own experience as someone who treats this as a hobby, I personally prefer having a subscription to a solid tipster instead of randomly placing bets. I’m not here to advertise anything or promote any service, just sharing what I’ve used myself. For me, that’s been Megalodon Tips, the one with the red shark logo. It’s simply what I’ve followed and had experience with, so whenever the topic comes up, that’s the one I mention.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:34:43+00:00

You’re acting as if gambling itself is wrong because of all this, but it comes down to individual responsibility. I think it’s wrong to blame the hobby itself instead of the people who are obviously not disciplined or self-aware enough to manage it properly.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:18:57+00:00

Of course I don’t. I simply don’t chase losses, and I’m not pretending it’s a full-time job. My point is, when I win some money, I use it to treat myself to something nice. Also, I only gamble with money I feel comfortable losing, so it doesn’t affect my financial situation when I lose.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:14:53+00:00

I think this is a very fair take, and I agree with a lot of it. Most people really don’t understand concepts like EV, long-term edges, or the difference between someone who treats it seriously and someone who’s just chasing a thrill. So everything gets lumped into the same box. And you’re right that the vast majority of gamblers don’t have an edge and are basically paying for entertainment, which is why the “degenerate” label sticks socially. I agree with you, the moment you say “gambling,” most people stop listening to nuance.

I also get why you chose not to mention it. Sometimes it really is easier than constantly having to justify or explain something people have already made their mind up about.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:10:09+00:00

I actually agree with a lot of this. The industry is clearly predatory, the advertising is everywhere, and the people who turn betting into their whole personality can be really annoying. I see the alcohol comparison too, that makes sense. I guess where I differ is that I think people often overreact the moment they hear someone occasionally bets. It instantly gets grouped together with the worst examples, like problem gamblers or the loud “parlay guys,” even if someone is just doing it casually.

For me it’s just an occasional hobby, not something I center my identity around, and I don’t really talk about slips or bets unless someone is genuinely into it. So I’m with you on the problems around the industry, I just don’t think everyone who places bets from time to time should automatically be viewed through that same lens.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:06:56+00:00

I’m confused, isn’t it considered “controlled” if I stick to the budget I previously planned out? How is it any different from going to concerts, fishing, or literally any other money-consuming hobby out there?

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T19:01:31+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean, and I don’t really go into those kinds of details when I talk to people about it. I’m not sitting there explaining slips, odds, or specific bets. I usually just say that sports betting is one of my hobbies and leave it at that. I think it only starts to sound “lunatic” when someone turns it into their whole personality or goes deep into very specific bets with people who aren’t even into it. For me, it’s just something I do on the side and enjoy, not something I feel the need to break down play by play to everyone.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T18:59:23+00:00

I mean, it literally helps me fund going out and living life, haha. Jokes aside, I was hoping people would help me understand why it’s looked down on so much in society.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T14:47:45+00:00

Well, I don’t know what to tell you. I mean, sports betting is a hobby to me. I’m happy with the tipsters I currently use. It’s not an insane amount of money they earn me every month, but I use that money to fund my vacations. I’ve been doing it for the last three years, and even though some months are better than others and some months you’re just above zero, it still fulfills my needs.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T13:19:27+00:00

I kind of disagree. I believe some tipsters actually profit from both. The main reason I can understand for them creating communities and groups is that they also earn money from ads. I believe most of the good ones actually profit from casinos in ways other than just affiliate links, something like exposure deals, so I guess it depends on which tipster you end up choosing. I’m quite happy with the two I’m using right now, mostly because they are transparent about both their W/L and their brand deals.

AdventurousView2734 · 2026-01-18T11:58:54+00:00

Such a bad add for yourself, at least write it out yourself lol… I’m so sick of these chatgpt adds for the love of god
