I would like to hear some of your comments based on your experience here.

Sports betting is one of the favorite games in gambling and I always wanted to experience a long term winning.

Therefore I'd like to get some of your opinion based on your experience, which is odds listed below gives you a better chance of winning?

a) over 2.00 or b) less than 2.00

Ofcourse less than 2.00 have chance to winning probability more, but you can't win like this more or less.  1.01 has winning chances more but in long term you will be bankrupt by backing 1.01. If you want to win long term, you have to find edge in the market and knowledge of the game and players. Odds is just number.

If you have good knowledge of games, teams and players, you can easily find edge in the game. But if you just back odds without knowledge of sports. God will save you because you will going to ruin your bank.

I think I would prefer the over 2.00, I just notice that when I pick the odds 2.00 and over, my bankroll does not easily wipe out, LOL.. I still loss but at least I can still enjoy more playing time in sports. It's really not necessary to have as many bets as you like, if we are talking of long term, then we should find a good value among lots of games offered in a daily basis, and you can just bet one game per day.

so true man, 100% agree. i do sportsbetting most of the time just for fun without deeper knowledge of the teams which i bet for or against... i had better experience by betting when the ods are more than 2... i have lost often when the ods are quiet low for a team  ::)

For me, there's no less or over odd formula to win in sports betting. Ain't much have experienced yet and I bet once but so far I had noticed that less betting on the lowest odds your winning payouts are very small and provably had less chances of winning. Because I believed that all odds have a house edge, as computed by the bookmakers.

OP, the aim here is to make a profit?
Just give a try in betting singles at odds above 2.0 (1/1). Then, if you make 2 bets at those odds and 1 of them wins you will make a small yet steady profit.

As a gambler you should have managed your betting sequences, and that's good to know you've enjoyed playing but not into extreme spending. Even though you bet more entries, still not guaranteed winnings for the long run. Knowing the sports betting you've playing with is most important to incorporate with your betting analysis, at least the chances will be positive.

They are inversely proportional, meaning if you bet on odds higher than 2.0, the probability of winning is low while if you bet on odds less than 2.0 it is the opposite. It would be helpful if you know the game that you are betting and you have the reason on why you bet on such odds. Putting 2 bets above 2.0 is very, very risky. You will end up broke if you don't do analysis on your bet.


@OP, i usually bet below 2.0, more successful with it but of course you have to be knowledgeable of the game also and focus on that. Don't bet on sports you don't know well.

Under 2.0 will make you safe but it doesn't guarantee that you will still win with your bets.

Option (B) but sometimes I choose (A) depending on the team and how the previous game developed and situation in which the match took place, I'm not just focus on opportunities dude. Well BTW sometimes I often looking for uniqueness when the match takes place and surely I choose (A) to take risks and sometimes succeed ,don't play fire.
My experience Odds less than 2.0 won't always win dude benefits are obtained when you have good experience and knowledge.

I don't consider it safe, betting under 2.0 could still be risky because lines sometimes are just trap for gamblers to bet on it.
Gamblers mentality is when the line is below 2.0, most likely the team would win, but IMO it's not like that, odds makers are just reading people's mind and there's a saying that we should always bet against the public to have better chances of winning.

Also, to be a long term winner betting on the odds below 2.00, you should win more than 50% to ensure profit, provide you are discipline with your bankroll management principle.

My definition with that kind of odd is that the crowd knows who has higher chance of winning. Though you are right that it could be a trap but it's up to you whether you'll risk or not, it's a gamble though.

For someone who doesn't gamble oftenly, he can refer to it. The amount of profit depends on your plan and on how long you're going to stay but if it's just the odds alone, for me it's my safety net.

It depends what your preferences are.
Do you prefer to wager smaller amounts on bigger odds or bigger amounts on smaller odds?

The probability to win decreases as the odds increase, this is not always the case but it usually is.
If you bet on a match where the odds are 1.10 you need to wager a bigger amount to get any value from your bet. In this case a $100 bet at 1.10 only gets you a $10 profit. It is not really worth the risk in my opinion.

But if the odds are 2.00 for example, a $10 investment will earn you the same $10 profit.

I prefer chasing higher odds especially in live betting when I can see what is going on and it is easier to predict what might happen.

This style is good, I'm also a fan of live betting, I usually bet on a team with a high odds especially if I see that they have a chance of winning.
I think in live betting, gamblers who knows the game really well has a better chance of winning since the odds are already synchronize with the system they put in place, it's the system that is giving the odds and they don't see injuries during the game and if we found that it gives us value.

Going back days where DirectBet.eu are still actively running. I remember using live betting to them in every BasketBall games, which gives me more good odds when the team that i’ll choose have low score in the first half and suddenly the odds will favor to them. Love the style to bet lively, where yeah, we can see the match and how both teams play.

I try with odds which are higher then 2, and accumulate max 3 of them on one ticket with lower stake which is always 10% of my bank. So if I bet on total odd around 10 with for example $100, possible win is $1000 and I have 10 chances to win with this system. If you fail to win at least two times in such way of betting, they you should stop to bet on sports.

I also try with low odds, from 1.25 to 1.50, but mostly by playing double chance (1x -x2), or that team will only score on game. Of course when you play with such low odds stake need to be bigger, but if you pick good games and place max 3 events on ticket chances for win are pretty good.

I will go for less than 2.00 risky if take more than that the chances of winning will be difficult. Prefer 1.5 and above always make parlay bet with that odds with 3 matches or more with a total odds more than 2.

Indeed.

I tend to go for the higher odds on more unusual bets, lets say who will score in the first 10 min of the game. Those most of the time get a bit better rewarded.

Always the lower than 2.0 odds get you winning in higher percentage than that of the above 2.0 odds. Whenever I prefer to go on live betting I prefer to go for above 2.0 odds based on the match situation. At some matches from the beginning there won't be any further change in the odds based on the team involved. In those lower odds were the pick.

I hope op will now agree that less than 2:0 odd is better than above. However, what make you to succeed much in sport betting is luck and that doesn't mean we should not reduce our risk as bearable as possible.

It doesn't really make a huge difference...  The lines given by the bookies are usually very efficient.  The difference between different sports betting sites is the vig their taking from the bets.  The higher the vig, the worse the odds.

I prefer profitable and less risky so I want more odds ( more than 2 ) with the risk of less than 2
It's human nature  :)

Personally I choose less then 2 because I prefer made small profit with high rate chance of winning

Exactly, you should also analyse the fighter/team you're betting for. I have a game result before when I choose over 2.0 and yet I won, same case with the below 2.0. This will still not guarantee profit, we should still analyze the whole game, the whole team and the opponent, this is just a guide for sure so don't think much that if you place on below 2.0, you will always win.

^ I completely agree on this, even I made a small profit but it is continued and steady profit with a high chance of winning.
I am a fan of betting in sports betting recently and I think gamblers had different ideas on where they are preferred to use higher odds or less odds. If you bet in a small amount(willing to lose but hoping of luck) and then you want high profit better to choose higher odd, even it is also high risk and less odds with big amounts of bet I choose less odds with also less risk compared higher odds.

Making a choice here won't be so easy because it depends also on the game you are betting on.  Normally below 2.0 odds will be safer and above 2.0 odds will involve more risk comparatively, but know what works best for you and also understand sportsbetting doesn't have any particular formula.

Personally as a gambler, I go big or I go home bro. Over 2.00 looks risky but that's where the juice is bro and that's where I like to set up my tent. I wonder why folks are always scared of standing tall. I know most folks try to hide under 2.00 odds expecting that everything will go smooth, but most often it blows up on their faces. Just go with your gut feeling

Over 2.00 odds are very risky bets for me if it's a single bet and alternatively I will usually play parlays which will give me bigger odds, whereas if I make the bet is a single bet, then the odds are less 2.00

Indeed, you are right that it is involved a very risky on us having on that high odds bets but once you've won a big profit will come to you.
Well, different sports betting sites have different systems for odds making and betting, there are different systems for the same sports you can bet. Therefore, the risk is always there even high odds or less odds it depends on the team/player matches. Indeed, we are base on luck that we have.

For me It always depends on what kind of sports Im betting for example in Basketball I tried many times choosing less than 2 but out of 10 maybe 5 won and 5 loss so its 50/50 chance of winning but on boxing In my very own experienced I always bet less than 2 for a big chance of winning especially if you know well the player.

Odds always favour the house and the majority of bets.   Have to find when supporters are ignoring a very possible win by the team less rated, usually people just back the dominant team no matter the odds because no one likes to lose.   Sometimes it pays to chance the loss but also the payout on a falter.

I dont think its luck, but outside factors can have a unpredictable effect and its hard to know these things beforehand unless you are local or able to watch them practise perhaps

This is also my take when it comes to sports betting.
If you are an ardent supporter of a particular sport and you know very well the teams and players involved, you have high chance that you will win in your bets.
There are some factors like how the team performs when they face different teams, the current condition of the players, their strategies and other things that you will only learn by closely following their games.

I mostly never bet below.3.75   .My average odds are 6.60
So above 2.00 below 2.00 is lay on exchange
But i only bet on horses

It depends on the match and the team you choose, the odds don't fully reflect the chance and strength of the team you want to choose. for example when Man City vs Liverpool, odds for liverpool win around @2.00 and man city win around @1.89 then I will still choose Liverpool to win

I have heard stories about people betting on the underdog to score in matches where the underdog already conceded 4 or more matches. In such matches the odds are pretty good for the underdog to score and it does happen.
For example a team is trailing 5:0 and you watch the match live and you can see that the underdogs are attacking, trying to score at least one goal. In such matches the team who has the lead are not that motivated to give 100% in the remainder of the match and they often concede a goal or two especially towards the end.

Mostly, less than 2.00 will give us a better chance of winning, but we must analyze many other factors before deciding to bet on such odds. In sports betting, soccer, usually I will find out the recent performance of the two teams before looking for odds provided by the bookies. If for example after doing some analysis, get a conclusion about the possible outcome of the match and the odds are sufficient,  I will bet.

In sports betting most of the people play with odds instead of knowing games. The person know more about the players who is playing in the group games then Deccan mic the year odds in perfect level maybe +2 or even more.

Mostly I go with lesser than 2, because if the game is balanced or go one sided we can understand that winning team will be under 2 only.

Less than 2 for me also. But I only bet on the sport that I am really familiar with. At least the excitement is different if you are rooting for the players that you are following. I rarely bet on a sport that I have no idea of. Unless, I feel that I have high chance of winning in that bet even if I am not a supporter of that sport. The tips that I got might be really legit in that case.

Without knowing the sport, teams, players i'll bet on the under 2.00 most of the time but not on very low odds. People that are behind the odds of a sportsbook are always ahead of time when it comes to predicting which team is likely to win. If you know something about certain sports, taking odds over 2.00 could be profitable because there are times where an underdog could eventually become a favorite.

Just yesterday I put a bet on odds over 5 in live betting and I won't, it's a good feeling for me since I don't risk a lot of money to win.
I fully understand that high odds have less chance of winning but every gambler has its own style and along the way it could be adjusted.

Just like me, when I was new in gambling, I use to chase small odds like 1.30 and below, but then I realize after continuously doing it that its not profitable anymore. So I adjusted and stop chasing on it but instead betting on odds like 2.00 and over.

It's just my own experience, I'm comfortable with it but I cannot say it's profitable.  ;D

It's really the same as other platform if you pick/choose less than 2 odds then the more chances (winning percentage) you win but only small amount that you'll be able to win while you pick above/more than 2 odds then the less chance you'll win but you can win huge amount that is why it's called gamble if you are willing to take the risk or not.

I can't make a betting decision based on the odds only.Every game and every match is different.
If less than 2.00 was winning more often,every gambler would bet on less than 2.00 and the bookies will change the odds to benefit themselves.There's no easy way to win from sports betting.

I'm just curious if you are mainly talking about higher chances in terms of mathematical proof/facts or the number of wins that you have with those corresponding odds that you said. Because, from a mathematical standpoint, it's odd that gives you the less multiplier with your bet. That's the general rule.

For the times that I have done sports betting, I would say that I have won a lot more of higher odds because I only bet those sports that I know. My favorite is the games in the NBA.

In sports betting, I don't believe in math, I mean the odds maker are not using the math here, they are reading the minds of the people and made a line accordingly. They could be wrong also but most of the time they are right since that's their job and they are master of that.

The high odds which is over 2.00 is a good odds if you see some value, determining the value is not easy, not because you know the game, you would be confident that you can win, man, there's an odds in every game, you need to analyze that carefully, and please don't rely on math alone.

It is not really about less than or over 2.00 but most times, I go less than 2.00 for reasons not really clear  to me but one basic thing I know is that it is very easy to beat odds just by spotting hen the odd trader  have not gotten something right. It may be rare unlike bookies watches pieces  like it is with benchmark, but it’s   realistic

I don’t really have so much bets like you mentioned but aside when I use stats form, I’ve discovered that odd prices are mostly dependent on public opinion. Once an horse gets the opinion of everyone, then there’s is probability of the price dropping any moment soon. Whenever there’s a feeling that the everyone is not getting  it right, it might just be a good time to strike.

For sure less than 2.00 will give you more winnings than the odds greater than 2. But this is not how gambling works. You need to change your odds after every game depending upon the result of your previous bet. You cannot just bet on less then 2.0 and think you will be safe. This is not the reality in gambling.

I always prefer to bet on the underdogs with odds >2.00  giving me a good return if they win.
I usually aim my bets relatively okay in amount and want to more than double it instead of getting less.

Literally we do have higher chance on those 2.00 lower odds but it doesnt mean that it makes you win everytime.I already tested out to have this betting style which stick into those favorite ones mostly but end up on messing my entire bankroll.Its a mistake because i do come to a point that im not even realizing or whats my basis regarding on my bets yet i do only focused on odds selection.

If you are good at games and you have knowledge about the team so it will not be hard for you to bet on the game, as we should keep eyes on the performance of the every game and the players so them it will be not be hard to bet for making money, if you choose 2 it is same as 1, but for this you will have to give little more time and get fully understanding with the game and the team.

Sure, better chances of winning would be for b, but since I like to do martingale I go with odds above 2.00, for simplicity's sake.

Martingale is another type of betting strategy, I tried to experiment that in the past but I have no success on that, if you will be hit by a cold streak, it's hard to stay discipline as you loss more and more.

It doesn't really matter as I have come to the conclusion that odds are irrelevant,they are only a tool of the hous to confuse us,the gamblers.I have bet on all kind of events and even odds of 1.10 have come to fail sometimes and not be a winner bet.

In theory the odd less than 2 should have more chances but the reality says otherwise.I don't have a preference for certain odds.

Worst strategy martingale and even it's far worst with higher odds, you won't ever going to win good because sometime your losing streak will be too big to manage.
I just suggest you to avoid martingale and better start gaining knowledge about sports/team/players you bet.

I agree that martingale is a bad strategy but I can't conclude and judge that it's not a working strategy.
Sports betting is no different in dice or any games with house edge, so martingale could also work here but I don't want to use it as my strategy.
We got to stay focus and consider sports betting a long term gambling and flat betting is way better, not exciting if you don't have a decent bankroll, but if you do, for sure you will love it as that will make you last.

For better chance of winning then obviously lower than 2.00 is better but as this is gambling which have unpredictable results sometimes higher odds also can win and lower odds also can be lost however i personally more prefer to bets lower than 2.00 but indeed sometimes i did want to bets for high odds

If the odds makers do their job right *they usually do) all bets will have the same expected return overtime.  MY personal preference is to bet on the underdogs and go for those high risk/ high reward plays.

Better chance says who?
I guess we sometimes too rely the chances based on the odds alone, which is wrong IMO.
Odds are created to balance the betting as these odds maker knows how people react with the odds, that's why we also some some line movement prior or during the game. If odds with lower 2.00 gives better chance, then making money would be easy by just betting on it.

I did not think this way in the first place. A local professional gambler once told me that ” if I gamble with low odd that will not increase my chances of winning and losing, therefore, why should I adopt low risk”! your post makes me remember the man advice and I think both less than 2:00 and above that is good and what matters is either you are able to win or lose.

I admire that kind of strategy, I've been experimenting on betting most underdogs line as it gives good odds, but actually not too much underdog.
Usually the line in a good sportsbook if the game is 50/50 would be 1.92 both, but that 8% is big enough and that would make us loss money even if we are 50/50 in win/loss ratio. For me take, I will take the close which is around 2.01 to 2.10, no juice in the odds and you got little extra if you win.

If you are going to use small bets, just go with odds higher than 2.00x, there is no reason to betting with lower odds than 2 00x with small bets since you will get small profit too. Better to risk in parlay if you are gonna using lower odds.

Odds of over 2.00 means that team or player is the underdog or have low chances of winning. If you're lucky you will win double from your betting amount but that doesn't happen always. I would still prefer less than 2.00, they already proved their capability to win reason many people bet on them.

Less than 2.00 does not win all the time either, odds is not a measure of winning, if that is, we can bet blindly but still win, things like that doesn't happen in sports betting, I never come across a gambler who's been winning using the under 2.00 odds only.

The thing is, posters here just give their opinion but don't really experience the success betting on odds under 2.00.

Actually, if you talk about opportunities, it's relative, maybe you speak less than 2.00 better, and other people talk otherwise. In my own opinion, both are equally good, it's just how we can perfect both of them into better opportunities so that we get the maximum victory. Gambling is a matter of strategy and not luck, if the strategy is good then you are lucky but if you are lucky the strategy is not necessarily good.

But the chance of win will certainly be much smaller right? the greater the risk the greater the odds. if you are not prepared for defeat then it is better to use a strong team with small odds its more better, the important thing is the chance of win is more bigger, that's the principle of my gambling

But smaller odds usually also mean bigger wagers to make some decent profit. And bigger wagers mean the possibility to lose more money if the bet doesn't go the way you planned. There is no bulletproof strategy unfortunately. 

i made a bets with odds more than 2.00 because i made a multiple bet (parlay) so the odds is bigger but the lose risk is high to. with this multiple bet i can win much bigger.
and if i made a single bet i usually take odds under 2.00 it's probably easy win.

Just normal for you to make those big bets in order for you to feel the profits if you do win that round but well same as you said.
You would potentially lose even more than on you do earn so its still imbalance if you ten to follow up with this kind of betting strategy thats
why some people do risk with small bets into those big multipliers.

I usually like to bet for over 2.00 odds. This allow me to lose 2 and win 1 so I am still profitable.
Also it is more interesting to bet in such games as they have more suspense and they are more entertaining. However, it is apparently more risky to lose your money with that tactic.

It's plane enough and self explanatory, the one with higher odd is risky and the one with the lesser odd is less risky but in sport betting it might to be dependent on the odds on how the games to go. So what I do I prefer higher odds to lower odds it's sure my winnings would be larger this way but also I would need less games than when am sticking to lower odds

Normal to think off that higher odds to corresponds with higher risk and these kind of bets will just depend on how you do see it.
This do test out your analysis with sports betting because there are some instances that even the favorite ones being beaten out by underdogs.
Odds on example isnt really that on big gap which this one do give me a hard time to choose on.

Actually if a sportsbook would offer 2.00 in every side, we would have no problem as don't loss any from juice, but sportsbook are operating for a profit, that juice is the lifeblood of the business so odds are not what we like to see.

We analyze the odds carefully and choose which we think would win, we can win choosing a lower odds but in the long run we will feel that we are still down if we are not consistent. A gambler only betting and odds of 1.90 every time, has to win more at least 56% of his total bets in order to be profitable in the long run, and I believe it's not easy to achieve that, unless you have the skills in sports.

Martingale strategy is not bad for those who understand it perfectly and its better for professional gamblers. This is the reason we see gamblers that write so many positivity about the strategy and those whom it has disappointed would be wondering if it’s the same strategy that failed them.

I don’t even believe in using strategies to play my games and it’s the more reason I stay away from games that require too much strategies. Gambling is for fun and I personally feel strategies should not be thought off when considering gambling so as to have maximum pleasure in the game but for gamblers that hold strategies in gambling on very high esteem, I believe they would choose martingale all over because it’s a proven winning strategy for experts.

It's hard to assess but if you have good knowledge regarding to the games and you are familiar with how teams or players from that venue
played you will see the ideas from how will you place your bets, skills on selecting sports to follow and take your knowledge as your advantage
each time you are placing your bets

I prefer whatever wins, I don’t really care about the odds but obviously less than 2.00 has a higher chance of winning regularly. I like to analyse what the odds are for though.

Yea the analysis is important because the OP mentioned categorically that comments should be dropped based on personal experience. I am sure there would be many on the comment section to read and learn, so this isn’t really about whatever wins, but what you have tried. I hope I made a point lol.

Back to the op, From my personal experience, the best remains less than 2.0, this does the magic most at times, maybe because I feel safer playing but frankly either over or less than is truly not necessary because at the end, we will discover there’s no single odd without a house edge, this has been designed already by bookmarker. So it’s better to focus on the game.

You don't gain anything by using other peoples' predictions in anything, whether it's in trading or gambling or anything else you might be doing. If you want to improve at something, in this case betting, try predicting by yourself and doing analysis yourself and put small bets initially. If you at least put time into something, you're going to improve at doing it. The only person you should be depending on for anything where your money's being risked is yourself.

This question is all relative and I'm game for the bet either way so long as its possible to be placing a live bet then any odds almost can be worth a try.   That is the scary thing but often you can tell before game end which way will win and why.    The best is when nobody knows but you have some greater understanding to give better value on the bet odds then others perceive.

That's how a smart gamblers reacts, he finds games and odds that he thinks he has the advantage, it doesn't mean an instant win but having a chance of winning in every bet you will make, that is a recipe for success. Every game has odds but not every game you can find value, so limiting your bet on games that you like and you see value is necessary and everyone has to have a discipline to do that successfully.

You are right! Theres no other people that can be trusted up when it comes to analysis but only yourself and i would much prefer on losing up my own money with my own analysis rather than on following someones path which it can give out depression or regrets in the end.You wouldn't gain something like experience or analyzing your mistake since you are just following someones bet.

About on the question i will prefer on betting lower 2x bet yet it do have high chance of winning but it cant happen anytime.

Odds are playing huge role in sports betting field. But there are some different gamblers who always learn the players potential while they are picking for the odds at the time. Usual gamblers who doesn't know the game along maximum comes to bet on that so they are taking time to invest on the basis on odds. At the time of choosing odds please be careful always.

Good gamblers know what is good for them and what is wrong. I know in gambling we only should choose the things we are good at. If you consider the odds as beneficial it also takes to be experienced. As you said not every game is good we can get profit in those game which are well known and are good for making money.

Well, this is sports gambling and there's a lot of games in different sports in a daily basis, but when our mission is winning consistently, we should not bet all of the games available, we should only choose the game that we have the knowledge and we believe we have the skills in capping the games,  it does not need quantity here, it needs quality in betting games and that if done strictly, it would make gamblers profitable regardless of the odds.

In my opinion, I do not buy into the idea of been limited to a particular game just because it’s interesting or because I love it. That is hell No. So how will I learn other games or know about others if all I do is strictly cliche to one particular game? Like you mentioned, which is absolutely right, all that matters is Disciple. Regardless the game, there is always odds to each game but we only have to be disciplined. No casino game is 100% risk free. It all has its up and down but as gamblers, we have learnt to deal with all odds.

For the post, I would prefer the above 2.0 odds, this is because I like to wager higher, I trust in predictions and I always believe it would work like it always did.

I have been pretty avid player in the sports category and gambling in sports has pretty good entertainment along with the monetary benefits that you could make while gambling. You make use of real life experience and evaluate the players involved in the game on the basis of their past performance. Something that does not involve the probability factors so much. Odds of success are good.

if we talking of odd betting in a sportbook it all depends on the team we choose. sometimes also even if the selected team has smaller odds, all possibilities stillexist from the player's condition or place, I think the odds have been determined according to their analysis. now it depends on the player himself who determines, because basically the website also gambles on the odd value. im prefer join great match so its 50:50 chance.

Me I would not, the odds would be 1.90 and you already loss 10% if you win.
If there's more option in the line available, I would choose to increase it at least over 2.00.

For example, in basketball, both ML offers 1.90 but when you bet on -2.5, you'll get over 2.00, so I'm choosing the -2.5.

I don’t see anything right here and as a matter of fact, this is absolutely wrong.
There are so many people that are specialized in predictions. Some get paid for predicting, might not be 100% correct but to a great extent it can be accurate.

What is the essence of losing your money to a game because of lack of trust, if you are not good at the game and also have insecurity with trusting, then it’s advisable to quit completely.  Everything about gambling is a risk, and risky your money by trusting a prediction is also part of the game. I do this a whole lot. There are times it fails, but many at times it worked greatly for me.

Well, for the post I will also go with less than zero maybe because I believe it’s on a safe side.

I see a few people try this parlay strategy,,, and you also see it in dice a lot. The only difference is people who try this in sportsbet usually know their games really well. But to get odds of over 2, the teams have to be balanced even if you know them well, you can never tell their form until the game itself so the only way is to get live odds, which is hard to do for parlay.

Come again? I don't know that you can parlay in dice... Maybe what you meant is martingale, or betting on low change with high possible win?

I preffer odds over 2. I think is more easy to have more chances to win with and also if get a bad series then is more easy to recover if odds are over 2 and win.


I think martingale is a strategy will not bring nothing good and make lose a lot if try to recover with.

That's also a good option when dealing inside gambling, trying to extend your earnings from the games that you truly understand. You can do this
when you are fully comfortable with your knowledge about the game. There's always different styles of betting, and most of the time, if there's a good
chance to make your profit rise much higher, you're going to try your best in understanding the game.

I most of the times bet with chances lower than 2.00 but sometimes if I feel like I have won some extra over my target that I set then I don't mind trying some risky odds.

Also at times when my research on performances indicate underdog having a good chance then I also don't back down from betting at high odds.

There will be no bulletproof strategy in gambling. But there are still many opportunities to minimize the chances of loss, for example with the parlay system, I think this system is very effective in reducing the chances of loss, where we have to get the winning points first. Then gamble from the profits of the first win, but if the initial results lose, then the martiangle system can be used to cover the initial losses but are very risky.

Never rely on proportions to make predictions. Of course, the lower odds will always be the more likely option to win, but remember that odds are often misleading. In particular, it is impossible to comment on the question you asked, according to the rates, and the rates you mentioned are also impossible. You can never have the same ratio as the two opposite options you specify. If so, users can use their bonus balances in these options and cause a loss of gambling. Therefore, I think that there is no need to brainstorm too much about such events.

  There is no perfect strategy in gambling and no one ever has won multiple games by applying the same strategy. So I think one should rather focus on one’s own experience because experience and a mathematical mind helps a lot when it comes to strategy formulation during gambling. It is always good to have a perceiving mindset which helps to formulate counter strategy and block the opponent.

No question about that but the fact that this method is still popular, I can think of some possibilities that this is also working to some people doing it using the proper timing. For instance, I can do martingale in just 2 games like a race to 3 games if I believe this team should win at least one game.

Martingale is just a strategy that needs pure luck or a higher probability to win in any gambling games. But the effect on it if ever you win/lose is just the same and is easily gonna make your bankroll disappear anytime. Therefore the risk was 50/50 and one should make a decision if they think that this is not the right time to continue, then stop or else you will suffer from those losses.

It doesn't need pure luck, gambler use the martingale strategy because they don't believe in pure luck, they likely want to make sure they will win all the time using this risky gambling method.

but the question is it did work for them and did they won all the time after applying the martingale system to thier gambling sessions ?  no i dont think so  . they can win some but not in a streak manner  . at the end of the day its only up to them if how they will spend thier winning or if how they will control themselves rather . 

p.s :  if martingale doesnt require a luck then how do you think it will trigger  ?

There has been enough discussion on martingale strategy and it has been concluded by most people that martingale strategy is of no use. The experienced gamblers never use the martingale strategy because of its high risk and low reward.

This thread is slowly getting out of discussion, martingale is not discuss here it's a flag betting using either odds above or below 2.00 in sportsbook.
Martingale are normally use in dice and not in sports.

The lower the odd the better the chances of wining that is why bookies uses smaller odds on a potential winning teams while using a higher odd for the weaker team, I usually accumulates the lower than 2.00 odd by betting on sure games which in most cases often results to wining however despite the numbers of my accumulated odds the values are still small because my maximum numbers of accumulation is four or five matches which I considered reasonable with a much lower risk unlike accumulating ten to twenty matches if a match is loss that is absolute or overall loss.

That's not always correct.
Of course bookers use smaller odds for the favorites and they wait for the time that the favorite would lose, in order gamblers lose as well.
In my opinion, is more profitable to gamble on odds over than 2.00 as it is a balanced odd without any real favorite in the match.

The lower odds has lesser odd possibility of wining than the greater odd. but during accumulation of the lesser odd most gambling site are tricky on this one you need far much games to accumulate but with an odd of 2.00 above the odds rise very fast without having to accumulate Mount Everest number of games

Martingale is a policy that not applicable for each game when you lose some you will invest more to recover the lose but more and more investment will help you to recover. It is good to bet in sports which are profitable and good to win a game. According to me getting in cricket is one of best betting game.

There is no such thing as a profitable sports, everything depends on the gambler itself, sportsbook won't offer sports that they will loss their business.

From my understanding profitable seems to be the sports that can be easily predicted. As in the quote gambling site owners will always try to take their edge through some way. For this they keep on making calculations on the odds until the match starts. Winning depends on the gambler and his ability to predict and choose the right odd.
