The term "one-sided bets" itself should signal that something is wrong. Trading is not about betting; it's about understanding the market you trade, the macroeconomic indicators that affect its price, and the price action that can steer the probability of success in your favor.

Placing one or more abnormally large trading positions, without comprehensive market analysis, usually before a single market event, in hopes of an above-average profit is akin to playing roulette and betting everything on one color. That is why we don’t want to endorse such behavior either.

As a trader, you should always aim for repeatable, consistent trading practices. Consistency is the key to successful trading, not sporadic profit spikes based on luck.
