I recently came across a discussion about low odds in sports betting. I never believed that using low odds in sports betting could lead to success. And I believed that the reason for this state of affairs was that one loss can cancel out many victories. For me, this seemed like something that did not require proof, until a man began to argue with me, who, according to him, had achieved success in sports betting and had been taking profits from bookmakers for a long period.
 His strategy is:
1. He selects matches with relatively low odds, the outcome of which is more or less clear. For example, when an experienced team plays with outsiders.
2. You should choose many such matches for diversification purposes, so that one random loss does not wipe out all your winnings.
3. It follows from this that in most cases, low odds work out, and random losses are offset by a large number of wins.
 I would like to ask you, what do you think about such strategies? What do you think are the disadvantages of this strategy?

I think it’s same with playing Dice with 98% winning chance rate. You can’t win in the long run due to the house edge while your profit is can’t catch up once losing streak occur.

The only way to become successful with low odds is by properly managing the size of your bets on match that you have high confidence of winning. But still relying on low odds still gives you -EV so this is really not a fool proof strategy as long as there’s a house edge.

Disadvantage of this strategy is you might lost patience in the end if you win tons of small profit then lose couple times that delete easily your previous profit coming from multiple matches.

With low odd matches, you will select more matches and also likely stake higher amount of money. I have tried low odd matches before and I noticed that big amount of money that I use to bet can result to a significant loss that the low odds betting may not give me the profit in time before another loss. I have tried high and low odds matches before, the chance to win the low odd matches is higher but the money used which is bigger makes it not better at all. I prefer high odd matches again. I can still go for 1.25 odds or above but not frequent like 1.5 odds and above. Anything below I can not go for it.

Low odds makes you win more often and lose rarely, but the reward isn't worth with the risk and with just few lose you're already in loss.

High odds makes you win rarely and lose more often, but the reward is worth with the risk and even you lose often, with just few win you already recovered your past losses.

The result is same, you will lose in the long run since every match is unpredictable. If you can always bet on the right team, either low odds or high odds doesn't matter.

I've used this strategy before, overall this strategy is quite good and effective, it only requires 10 wins with @1.1 odds to get multi from our bankroll. But is this strategy as useful & effective as it is?

I've a story from a friend of mine who experienced a lot of losses from this strategy, initially he got a lot of wins from this strategy with a bet of $1000 per match. Per day he can earn $1000 to $2000 from spending all his time on workdays.

Until one day, all the foundations he had built over months of betting were destroyed due to consecutive losses from random matches. Everyone has unlucky days, and we don't know when that day will come. Remember the Argentina - Saudi Arabia match in the world cup? That's about it, no one thought that Argentina would lose to Saudi Arabia.

This is what some people do not know until they move from high odd to low odd matches. What I have noticed about sport betting is that it is not more than casinos in the sense that as casinos make use of house edge so are bookmakers making use of odds that will let people that are gambling to lose money to them than them to lose money to the people that are gambling.

But it does not matter about betting on the right team. What I have noticed about betting is that it should not be done frequently because the more someone is frequent with gambling, the higher the probability that the person will lose. Just go for one or two matches and make it not frequent at all even if you lose, just forget about the loss and not because of that continuing to gamble.

I have tried exactly the same and failed. A single loss would take away around 6 wins and in real world, the unexpected results are not rare. There's a reverse strategy to it where people bet on the team that has much better odds as its chances are rare and get huge profit when the unexpected happens.
But going through the math of probability, in long run, the loss would always win over profit as there are house edge in play even in sports betting. Sport betting casino determines the odd based on how much people have bet on each side. Theoretically, If the odd is 1:3, it means if the first option is bet with $300, the second is bet with $100, in reality, the bookmaker takes a commission making it 1.09:2.99, so which ever side you bet on, the house wins in long run.

These works most often but gambling as they say, you will have luck more than your strategies so don't feel somehow the days it doesn't workout when you pick low odds. If you are lucky in some outcomes of a game, you can win odds that are higher than your picks and sometimes, you may even win as high as 3 times of that. The impossible outcomes gives high odds, like when you pick teams like 4 or 5 to draw a match, you can actually win them but their chances are low compare with low odds, however, low odds doesn't mean it will always work as you expect.

Also, adding multiple games just because they are low also decreases your chance of winning them, if you have like 5 games with maybe 1.22 odds, that should give you an aggregate of 6.1 odds which is good but don't be surprised when one of the selected matches failed to win, it has happened to me many times and I just make the conclusion that you can't win any gambling you don't control, just play and if you are lucky for that day, you are going to win.

Small odds doesn't mean we cannot win big, this is where most missed out from gambling, if you're gambling and you understand how to make your bet with different combinations irrespective of how low the odds given were, you can learn to have as many as possible and win big, while you don't have to take much risk on matches that comes with big odds and have higher risk of loosing it, while we can accumulate small odds and still make winnings if we know how to go about it.

I did run the numbers, and if you have a market that you could to be your cup of milk you can be profitable...say a market of 1.10 odds done 8 times gives you 100% (2 odds) and if you are compounding it could be lower...

Btw care to share link of this discussion :)

This risk does exist but with low odds ones winning chances are so high such that if you fall you can start the recovery easy without much worry...I have friends that love these  low odds to complete challenges of $10-$1000 and they do it over and over again..

Let's just say the mathematics does play out, but remember not all low odds will work in our favour..you need a market you know inside out!

Low odd matches will make you bet on more games and a high win rate so that the profit will be high. I think it is an emotional draining strategy. I'd rather go with high odds where I would need to select a few matches and bigger profit. Also I have had experiences where despite my low odds, the supposedly stronger team lost to the smaller one and it wiped out my wins to a very small amount.

For me, I'm not satisfied if I only choose low odds, say @1.15, especially if it's a single bet, so it's not worth it, unless you do multiple bets but still the results are small when you are unlucky, the bet will fall apart.
This second point is what I often do where making diversified bets I just keep the capital from losing all of it, but often this does not make it profitable for me.
I prefer high odds above @1.50, for example, 3 multi bets feel better by putting a little money but the results are quite good even though I often lose, it's just that now prefer to choose high odds but still the favorite team.

I also remember someone doing a similar strategy where he'd only go for the lowest odds, but he only did live bets and mostly went for tennis matches.

I agree with Woodie you'll need to find a sport or league you're very familiar with because not all pre-live odds are set accurately.

The biggest downside is probably being picky with the matches you'll bet on because as you've mentioned, the strategy is similar to a parlay it only takes a quick loss or two to put you back to the starting point.

Low Odd for each sector of gambling will keep you much safer as your chances of winning will be much higher. But the problem is that if you always bet big amount then you lose more than 20 winnings if you lose one bet.  So no matter what strategy you use, you cannot avoid gambling risk. So gambling should be used with great caution. And you should gamble with the amount that you can control yourself from losing. Otherwise you will regret it. Gambling is always high risk so you need to learn this risk management first then you can continue gambling at any odds.

High or low, the odds you get have already incorporated a little discount that will make you lose in the long term. If you trust in a stroke of luck then you are more likely to win after a few risky bets rather than after many low-risk ones. The law of large numbers will end up making an appearance, and IMO the more bets you make (if the odds are really low you'll have to make many, many bets), the worse for you.

On the other hand, is it even fun to play that way? ???

Of course low odds are the most profitable gambling strategy most people normally use now, however is very unfortunate that most people failed to understand the chances of always winning bet through low odds because there ambition is always to win big, however the only thing about betting using low odds is that they hardly win huge money from it but sometimes is normally good for those people that has money because no matter how low those odds are the moment you stake it with a bigger amounts you stand to win huge money, also I no of someone who has been benefiting from low odds gambling for years now and he doesn't play any other game apart from low odds no matter how sure it may seem he always stick on the low odds betting and he is always making wining.

Lol.  I mean there's a reason for teams or bets having low odds..that means that the chances of you having success, are, low.  I don't think this strategy makes any sense.  I would never place a sports bets solely based on the odds alone.  You've got to factor everything else in to the equation.  I agree that if you believe in a team, and that they are going to be able to overcome the odds, than that's a totally different situation.

Bad idea, betting on many matches even with low odds actually increases the chances of losing.
Also many sportsbooks will immediately lower the bet limit for the user who always bet at low odds because it would be considered as an abuse for the VIP rank or other bonus which is based on the wager.

If you only want to bet at low odds, I suggest to choose a well-known sportsbook that does not provide any bonuses from the wager.
And i think its better to place a bet at the odds of 1.25x and above so you dont need to bet on many matches to reduce the risk of losing.

It best works on multi-bets.  I have tried this myself and still am trying over and over although I've been to several loses, I still make some profits with multibets and low odds since it only needs a few bucks to win big and a high probability of success when choosing the favorable teams.

Doesn't need to bet more than $5 per parlay but if you can afford I think there is a chance of you making higher returns, you just have to choose the sport though, as it also matters.

It is true that you can win bets on Low Odd, but no matter how many bets you place, you will not be able to profit much.  However, if there is a single loss, the entire bet amount will be lost. for this reason, winning at gambling is easy, but there is a lot of risk involved, so there is no reason to be happy about gambling when you see an easy side. Every step of gambling is very risky. so gambling should be used only as fun so that it never becomes an addiction. If gambling becomes one's addiction then it will bring a lot of harm to him.

For sure that’s a risky strategy that may result in losing but I can see someone beating the house with a strategy like that too
It can happen even though it’s not the most likely outcome
Managing your bankroll well will be a must

Personally I believe low odd bet has a brighter chances of winning due to the fact that a strong team is assigned with low odd because they have a high probability, however to earn decent profits with atleast 2.0 odds that means the gambler has to accumulate many of those low odds games, however the higher the games the higher the risk because one of the games might cut the ticket probably due to an upset by a weaker team, though I adopted that type of low odd betting and is one of the easiest method of earning some decent profits with through picking of likely games that are sure bets.

To be honest, I don't like low odds at all. For me, the money at stake is not worth the money won. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for a strong team that has low odds to eventually be defeated by a team that is not superior. in the end, we lose quite a lot of money only to get smaller results. For example, your five single bets win at low odds, but at the same time you lose one match. the result could be a loss, or a return to initial capital. However, whatever strategy someone uses is entirely their right and choice. I can't give an assessment, because everyone has their own way of betting.

OK, now we're talking about my side of the betting. usually, before I bet. I will first look for several more matches, then try to research them by digging up the latest information. if it's not ideal, I'll look for another match. Another example, my favorite team will play a match with a mediocre team. then, betting exchanges only provide very low odds. But in reality, there are many options that I can choose from without having to bet on a team. If so, the handicap option could be an alternative choice. After observing and looking closely based on research and analysis, the conclusion is that I will look for the most suitable option. it can be on the team, handicap, Under/Over, both teams scored and everything available.  with odds, which is of course ideal for me. single bet, it is more profitable. Even if I do a multibet, I only choose a few matches on the list. the point is the same, I always look for the most ideal and safest option. So far, the bets I've made haven't been as bad as I predicted. there are times when I lose, or sometimes I can win consecutive bets with several games. Well, that's my betting method.

If we are talking about bets such as 1.2 or 1.3, then such bets can be profitable, but, of course, you cannot focus on only one parameter - the size of the bets. Any bookmaker can make mistakes. But the fact is that if the bet is relatively low, then this indicates a high statistical probability of victory for that team or player. You should carefully study the future match and find out why there are such bets on this game. But imagine that we have recruited highly likely candidates to win, for whom bookmakers offer low bets. In this case, the bet of each team is approximately 1.33. If out of 8 bets 2 lose and 6 win, you will be left with your money (that is, you will receive zero profit). And for you to receive a loss, you must lose more than 2 teams out of 8. Is this a lot or a little for such bets? Everyone answers this question in their own way.

The fact that he might have won from low odds doesn't necessarily mean that they are safe to play with. Low odds can be frustrating at times as they could even lead to loss, stances like this has occurred on multiple occasions and it's very annoying. That's why gambling is based on luck, you shouldn't think of it as though it's a good strategy to guarantee a won ticket. While using low odds, you'll have to make more selections to arrive at a reasonable amount of profit, which in turn increases the risk of winning the bet. However most persons tend to use a huge amount of money to bet on only one selection, though the chance of winning still depends on luck but this can be more preferred when you have faith in the team you are betting on. One fact about odds is that, they are given based on the performance of teams last set of matches and also the players that would be available for the match.

If this odds was assigned prematch then it’s not really high chance victory since prematch low odds often varies depending on the situation of the actual game. Odds provider usually assign odds in prematch using statistical record of previous match that’s why it often adjust during the actual match.

I’m more confident for high winning chance rate bet with odds of 1.2 to 1.3 when this odds offer during the live match with few remaining time on the game since this odds is based on the actual condition of the game rather than the stats basis on odds given during prematch.

I think this man is lying or is living completely in a distorted reality of his own.The reason is simple and that is that such low odds never fail to surprise a lot of us seasoned gamblers.Let me remind you that you are right to believe that one lost such bet cancel out many victories and let me remind you of some happenings a couple of months ago which is some heavy favorite in NBA with odd 1.04 lost against the biggest underdog,same shit happened in tennis in that same time frame.This is a clear example that having success in sport betting does not rely on low odds but in being able to analyze games correctly.

 Perhaps there are people for whom this can work, as there is an exception to any rule, but it’s easier to test this from your own experience in order to understand that such a strategy does not have much potential. I determined for myself that the average odds of my bet should be about 2, or higher if possible. I think that any player can analyze his results in gambling, even if it is enough to make 100 bets, if you win more than half of the bets, then you will have a profit. With small odds, the number of winning bets should be significant, but this is more difficult to achieve, outsiders do not always lose.

You are very correct because low odd always gave someone hope of wining a bet when you have a trust with those teams that you have selected, just like me I always like a team that have low odd  but sometimes the bookmarks always give the weaker team small odd them give the stronger team big odd why because they have check their head to head and noticed that anytime the both teams meant together that is always difficult for the big team to win the smaller one.

I like that strategy, betting in low odds is the best way to make a good profit in sports. Personally, i do that in UFC and NBA, in the past NBA season the underdogs were winning a lot, and i made some profit from that, and when i apply that strategy to UFC i choose the underdog but the winning method too, and that way i have to win huge multipliers on a single fight, multipliers like x20 or x15 in those fights.

And i like to bet that way in sports because is really common to see the favorite losing a match, it happens a lot, and when they win the profit is lower than x2.

I mean since sportsbetting is pragmatically easier to win with against other conventional gambling ventures there is a case to be made about low odds betting and why you could win more with those than if you made it on games like, dice or hi-lo per se. In essence even though odds are at play every sports game you see are essentially 50/50, with the odds really just giving the players some sense of idea of how the game will pan out to sway them on a side or another way easily.

But then again, always betting on low odds is not a reliable way to win or whatnot. As said, these games are inherently 50/50, and even though you bet on the skills of the teams/players involved in the match, there's still some level of luck at play here that would be highly deterministic of how the game and your bet will pan out.

So yeah, there's nuances in the concept of betting for low odds, but it's not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing.

Your reward may not be worth the risk.

In some football games, based on the teams playing and how they have been playing, the winner is always so straight-forward that you are like 97% sure of the outcome of the game. If you are okay with just winning, not minding the amount you win, then you can adopt this strategy of low odds as a way to bet. 

It is important to still endorse what have been said, LOW ODDS DO NOT GUARANTEE WINNING.

Low odds are indeed one of the strategies of gamblers who try to win their bets with low odds. Usually gamblers rarely lose, but the weakness is that they only get smaller profits and this also avoids the risk of losing because sometimes gamblers also want big odds in order to get bigger profits. which is of course in accordance with the risks faced. I have lost many times when choosing big odds even though I was not betting on a club that was not my favorite but rather on how many goals both clubs would score and I combined it with my multi bet but with big odds I often experienced defeat.

So I just chose 3 or 4 with odds that weren't too big and that made me win even though the profit wasn't that big at least I didn't lose my money and actually I prefer that strategy rather than having to choose big odds because according to my observations we will It is difficult to win if the odds are too big and the house chances are always bigger than what we predicted from the start. Choosing low odds is the right strategy to avoid the risk of losing more often.

You were right!


Pretty simple math, with low ods at 1.10/1.15 you need 8 matches to make 1$ with a bet of 1$, but you need only one to go wrong and you lose a 1$.
You're not inventing the wheel here!

Also, just as an example last summer I got a consecutive 4 loss of horse racing at lower than 1.20 odds for the favorite, yeah 4 races one after other and all horses despite being favorites, and the next runner-up having over 5:1 odds all lost, 4 one after others.
So basically I lost 4$ so I had to nail down at 1.10 odds the next 40 winners and not a single one could lose just to recoup the sum!

If an experienced team is away, x2 is usually a bet option but some gamblers want to take the full risk of option 2. Always away team is good for away goal or 1.5


Choosing many matches because of low odds isn't professional gambling. You have to look at the potential of winning from the odds selected despite low odds.


Low odds are best for winning bets but if gathered in multiple, then a failing result will be the aftermath. Multiple bet is good for large profit but not always possible. So it is better playing with single games and low odds and reasonable stake.

Just blindly doing that does not work at all. I've tried different strategies based on odds alone and I didn't find long-term success. I even tried the Martingale strategy on low odds, but it still didn't work for me. This game is about finding value and having the discipline to manage your bankroll. Without that mindset, you'll end up making the same mistakes over and over again. I tell you, it's better to learn from the experience of other sports bettors like us who have tried that method, as I'm 100% certain the outcome is still a loss.

That's the strategy that person shared with you and has had profitable results so I think it's feasible to research and apply. But for me, every situation will have unwanted risks, so there is no need to impose too much on who is right/wrong in this story. It's just that you're willing to accept any outcome with the choice you make, but the reality is that everyone wants to win so they can profit and that's what "own" doesn't like. I've also heard about statistics from betting platforms that can research user behavior to change rules, as well as remove betting odds to limit winners. We should accept the fact that the "own" side always dominates in every game, so don't impose too much on any perfect strategy.

It does not mean that if it works for a certain person, it will also work for you. There's more to it than just spotting low odds and taking them. You need to be familiar with the game or league you are gambling on so you'll not end up making mistakes like thinking you have the value, but in fact, it doesn't. Would you believe that sometimes bookmakers overvalue or undervalue certain odds? If so, then you need to be aware of what they are doing so you can choose the odds that you believe are the real ones.

Think of it this way: if you are just betting on low odds, let's say 1.30, your three consecutive wins, which would result in 0.90, could easily be lost by just one mistake.

I don't think there is a gambler who hasn't tried this at least once in their life... I am sure that many have tried it more than once. For many of us, it was not profitable, after a series of successes, bad days come and we lose much more than we gained. But I am sure that in the sea of ​​bad experiences, there are also some positive and profitable stories.

Of course, there are pros and cons, but I wouldn't write about it at all. There is a lot of information available on the internet, if you put a little effort into it you will learn everything you want. When you do that, you'll decide whether you want to try it or not, and that's all that matters, what you want. There are many good and bad stories, but it is up to you to try and write your own story. The odds are against you for sure, but until we try something we can't know what will happen.

So, if you decide to give it a try I wish you luck, you will definitely need it.

I guess you already told us the disadvantages of it. One unlucky line that goes south will take everything from your parlay.

I think we should just be aware of trap lines. It's not 100 percent that a low odds team or player will win the game. I think I had that one mistake before when I was making a parlay in table tennis. The odds given to the certain player that was also added in my parlay was 1.15 if I remember it right and I was definitely sure he could win that game.
But sometimes we also have to be aware of the condition of a team or a player. If they are off night, they will probably lose even though they are the heavy favorite.
It will be better to test this kind of strategy in small amounts. Just for trial and error.

Basically, no one wants just betting blindly. Most of them playing by their own researches and analytics, or even only by confidences. But, one thing we should now is, there is no certainty in sports betting, even it was on a low odds. Sports betting is unpredictable, everything can be happened on sports.

So, the low odds in sports betting can't be a reference that it will bring us to win the sports betting. Keep doing your own risks in kind of this betting strategies. Never take it so serious, because we know that gambling or betting is only for entertaining, not the way of getting wealth.

The reason why most gamblers chooses low odd is because they don't want the game to lose and from my end, I have come in a conclusion that low odds are the most dangerous odds, they can be trickish in some ways and they can easily manipulate a gambler. I have send were low odds lose and cut the whole gamble that has won. No odd is 100% sure in the system of gamble because every odds is always against every bettor.

When you have to spread your bets across several matches with low odds, it is likely that you will bet on matches that you actually don't know about and only spread on matches with the odds offered.
I usually don't do that. but only bet on matches that I really like. Regarding betting options, there are many choices such as goal scorer or others that can provide better odds.

If the odds are not in my favor I will leave the match. because betting at low odds definitely forces us to bet bigger.

I'm familiar with that strategy, I used it severally.

If you look at games you can easily identify the force a club has over the other through the odds which is ascribed to it, so I take advantage of that and stake on low odds because they have high chance of likely playing out the way I want it but at some point it's not always correct as we know it's all about luck.

And in one of my local betting sites there is always an option of getting paid if one or two cuts the game, so I choose several clubs hoping if one or two cuts the game it would be safe.

Yes, and it's not bad to think like that. Sometimes we think about the amount of money we can win and it's not much when we make bets with low Odds , but if you lose , the bet is complete Then I think the trick is that we have to do things very well. We can't be thinking that we can be winning with the bets and always Making money from the bets. When bad bets and losses come closer, that's where you get to know the real player, the real bettor, because he knows how to Assume his defeat without falling into possible Addictions That's where you see who's who.

Though betting on team with low odd is likely to lead to success in sport betting, but it is never a guarantee that such strategy may work forever, because I too have seen many scenarios where games with low odds lost and the side with big odds won. Hence, the coolest way I think is best to make success with betting on low odds is if it's been done as a single bet, and not multiple, because if you try to gamble on multiple low odds sport games (i.e 1.2 x 1.3 x 1.1 x 1.09 x 1.34 = 2.5 odds ), you may end up losing your bet of 4 plays and 1 do not play as predicted. Hence, of only you must make profit with low odds, it must be done as a single bet, so as to cash-out your small accumulated profit.

In fact, it doesn't guarantee a win with a smaller Odds bet, let alone getting a profit, for example when you bet on gambling and win 5 matches with small Odds and lose 1 match, it is not profitable in terms of percentage, the reason is that in terms of calculations also when betting with an amount The same thing is still a loss, it doesn't matter whether you bet with smaller odds but just 1 match but with a larger bet amount so you can get a big profit, but that also depends on the goal, whether for money or for fun.

People who have fun usually bet on their favorite team where they can watch their favorite team live, even if they lose, gambling is no problem for them, but if they win they can get two benefits by betting and also seeing their favorite team win the match, not all sports betting will always win, just like in other gambling games, don't look too much at the favorite team because it's not certain that the favorite team will win, sometimes there are matches where the favorite team loses to a team from the bottom of the table, so you still have to be careful when gambling, even though you have experience in gambling. sports betting.

Even though our own analysis and research sometimes doesn't match the games that most people are champions of, even though the odds are low it doesn't guarantee that the chance of winning is between 80%, even with big odds you can win something that not everyone is a champion of. However, from a lot of experience, usually low odds are guaranteed to win, but with large odds the chance of winning is only 20%, so it all comes back to the person's confidence in placing a bet, at least avoiding betting on your favorite team which usually disappoints or vice versa.

Of course we have to remember that we are only fans of soccer betting, but we also have to know whether a player's desire is good or bad, because that can change the course of the game, and can even make the club we are championing lose with the team below it.

Well in my case I don't have anything to say but just that with low odds the chances of you winning are high but it also makes your stake a lot bigger bigger the lower the odds the higher staking power except if only you want to choose more games and this can only increase the risk of one bad prediction ruining the whole ticket because I believe it's same thing with parley selection on soccer betting, although there are some particular games or competition in soccer that the bookmakers themselves like toying with the odds and an example it's the current country games going on now, the odds difference is just something else even for game you are certain that the team with the bigger odd is more better.

Betting on low odds is the surest way to win in gambling but it doesn't guarantee any form of winning. When a big club is facing a perceived less strong club, bookmakers gives the big team the low odds to win while the smaller team is given the bigger odd and that's because the probability of the big team to secure win in such games are very high while the probability of a win by the smaller teams are very low. However, that doesn't stop small teams from pulling a surprise and winning even when they're given a high odd.
Football and many other sports are full of surprises and that's why no one can be 100% sure if whatever prediction he's making. Gambling companies make more gains when big teams are defeated in games that they have a very low probability of losing because many people who includes such games to their gamblings are always predicting a win for the big team. I do get on teams with low odds but I'm always careful of which team to choose so I don't lose my bets.

Literally sport bets demands potential requirements that the lower the odds the lowest the risk and the higher the odds so also the higher the risks but yet winning possibilities still remains unpredictable.

I believed that low odds gave a more assuring winning streak, but I was wrong the day I bet on a game that just had a small odd of 1.10. I got disappointed at the club that made me lose that match because all the while in their other games, they have been underperforming, but the day I staked on them was when they performed better and caused me to lose my money. Small odds can actually make you win frequently and make you lose a whole lot of money on a day you didn't expect. Since small odd doesn't produce too much profit unless you stake a big amount, you might stake a big amount on the game you are so sure will go as predicted, but it can go against your prediction at the end.

You understand the trick, bookmakers are trickish because they get paid for offering good service to casino, they do their best to make sure you lose. Low odds aren't the best way to go about sport betting. Imagine the situation the day Bayern Leverkusen played against Atalanta, who expected Leverkusen to lose that match but they gave them initial or 1.2 odds and gave Atalanta least of 4.xx depending on the platform you played and what happened later Leverkusen lost and Atalanta won.

Low odds doesn't mean your ticket is guaranteed of winning but if gives advantage sometimes but not a yardstick to pick them most of the time because good teams flops sometimes. There is no way a team will start a season without losing, it's always hard, it always the team you least expect turnout to be good sometime just like the way Girona started this season but disappointed later, only Leverkusen did well but even them had some draw match and that will be consider as loss if you bet to win.

It's a matter of luck or skill or something like that.
I think that EVERY person who takes part in gambling sooner or later thought like your friend. The thing is that one loss covers about 5-6 winning trades. If two such bets do not go through at once, then problems may arise later. I remember when I started gambling, I had exactly the same strategy. That is, your interlocutor is either a beginner who managed to successfully use this strategy several times, or he is a great professional and understands what many others do not understand.

Low  odds does not determine success, it only reduces the loses and if you bet small. Most people I know that bet on low odds do so with Lots of money and record very big loss upon losing the games as well as big dividends when it goes in their favor. For me, people playing with low odds and higher stakes take the greatest risks.

There's no sure games, everything is under a probability and there is equal chances to win and lose as well, so its better to bet with amount you can afford to lose because it might not favor you and you lose your funds, its really a bad decision to gamble without moderation no matter the strategies you employ as it can fail you and leave you in big mess.

Yes, low odds are usually very sweet bet. If you assemble small odd games and stake on it, it will be successful unless that you not really a lucky gambler. Although, never  underestimate low odds because they can can be deceiving sometimes. I have had many profit from low odd but the day my friend was unlucky, he lost seriously. My pattern of gambling don't allow me to stake the amount I can't afford to lose.

Don't be fooled by the low odds, the bet is directly related to your ability to bet again, it's simple math, if you make a single bet based on the odds and you're going to cross your fingers or think that an odds of <@1.1 always wins, you are wrong, just look at the long-term percentage return of your total bets.

So, at the end of all that betting threshold, what really matters is having the ability to have the continuity of betting for long periods. Man, you can't measure yourself by the simple result of making a bet at low odds, it's a losing mentality in the long term

You nailed it, it doesn't require a long explanation how low odds doesn't hit all the time. It's a simple logic, bookmakers make that low odds to be attractive to bettors but in reality, the sportsbook still has the edge if we will consistently chase on low odds. I'd rather take odds like 1.90 or 2.00, but it's not about blindly betting as I also have to analyze if it's worth the odds as line could be undervalued even if the odds are 2.00, it could be higher than that, hence the chances of winning is always lower than 50%.

Picking games that give you lower returns are usually safer. That’s the reason why the rewards are low because the casino has done the calculations and what they’ve figured is that it is very likely that it is the outcome for that game. When you pick sports games, you’ll realize that some of them usually have really low odds. While some have really high odds. People who want to try their luck to make a large amount of money so quickly will pick the higher odds, meanwhile the higher odds just tell how rare that occurrence would be. Doesn’t mean high odds games don’t work. But only a few rare times.

Well, you are totally right here. Nobody likes to lose a bet, and when playing on low odds we believe our chances of winning are higher, which makes them dangerous. They can deceive us that they are "safe" bets, but actually, there's nothing "safe" in gambling.

I lost many single bets and parlays because of one game, it's usually a game with lower odds. That's why this system has many flaws, and for many of us, it didn't work. But I think that OP should be free and give it a try nevertheless, luck plays an important role in gambling, so maybe he will be lucky to choose the winning games... of course, with money he can afford to sacrifice for his experiment.

If its works for you then that's great . It really depends on your goals in gambling, to be honest. If you are after big gains then this won't be advisable gigen that low odd bets generate small profit even if you would be bettinf with huge amount. High odds would indeed create bigger risk, but of course bigger rewards which is what gambling is all about to some people. In line with this low odd strategy, people are extending their wagered amount given that it's more likely to be a winning bet however nothing's assured in gambling. A loss would be a burden if you would be increasing amounts even in multiple bets.

Perhaps you have 5 $300 bets and rewards on each would be $50 (just an example). Losing one game will be that much of an impact right?

I think I didn't understand this point very clearly, because even if you diversify your bets a lot, placing many small bets aiming low odds winnings, you still can't be assured this strategy is going to work, because one or another defeats are still likely to happen, and you need just one defeat to cancel your progress from ten winnings, for an example, considering you are playing with 1.1x odds.

On long run it still doesn't sound a working strategy for me. In the end you will be putting a lot of effort on it to select the matches you are going to bet, and just to make tiny profit on the bigger picture, if everything goes as expected. On the other hand, it takes just few minor mistakes to turn this strategy into a losing one. I think it's not cost effective, unless you have a lot of fun doing this...

High odds or low odds, both are profitable but it's just that it's hard to win on one of them. The other is easy but you need to increase your betting size, in order for you to be satisfied. That's right that in betting for profit, we need to pay attention in many things if we are really eager to win.

It may not still be guaranteed but we are sure that it increases our chance. No one is perfect but anyone can make a mistake. If it's the bookmaker, I think they are able to give us some compensation if it affects our gameplay. If we think that something isn't right, then maybe there is fixed matches going on? It's up to us if we will avoid it or ride it because we knew if who can possibly win.

Definitely if you bet on low odds the chances of winning the bet is high. As the game is going into one team’s favour, hence they have given the low odds. So the less the odds are, the more chances that the team will win. But practically it won’t be profitable. Suppose let’s say, you win consecutive three bets at 1.3x odds, but made loss in the 4th bet with 1.3x odds, so in the overall loss/profit ratio, you made loss only. Hence don’t chase behind the odds, do proper research and then only place the bet irrespective of the odds offered.

Well strategies are depends on the people or bettor itself, I mean maybe for OP it works or some bettors used this strategy and actually benefitting from it, but yeah I agree with you, I'm more on doing one or few bets that I think has the higher chance of winnings because I do analysis and look for strategy, so thay I could increase my chances of winning or picking the right team or player, I'm not gonna bet if I know that I dont have a clear vision of what will be the possible outcome of the match, it may be hassle but that's the only thing I can do in order to secure a win bet because for me betting can be more profitable if you will do your part by doing the necessary things such as analysing and critical thinking. Also, I'm a meticulous gambler, meaning I don't bet when I don't feel like it or if I feel a little bit worried about the bet.

Relying on your luck is fine when it comes to sports betting, but along with relying on luck, you have to rely more on your own skill.
At least we should have this skill that if we play between two teams so that we can always put the stronger team ahead of the two teams. If he doesn't have that much sense, I think there is no need for him to come to sports batting because if he doesn't make that much difference here, he will only keep losing money. Before placing a bet on a team, you need to check the outcome of the match as much as the manager plans the match, and then decide on your gamble.

I can only say that low odds are not worth taking risk. I story, when a person bet millions just to win $10k and lost, came to my mind when I see someone saying that low odds are profitable. If bettors goal is to have fun, then I can accept that low odds would be reasonable. If the goal is to earn, then it is no worth spending time on that. People think that low odds in sports betting are easy money, but so far I havent seen anyone who became rich with such a strategy. Think about that.

Your multiplier will be low in these cases. Like close to 1.1x and thus if you manage to get a big number of such wins you might be able to amass a good amount of money if and only if your capital is also big, like say 1btc on 10 such bets. You will end up with 11BTC or more In this example.

But this is risky because a single loss will reduce your capital by a significant amount.

Hence I will not agree that the method is 100% accurate, but risky indeed

The only disadvantage of this strategy is that if you lose consecutive bets, you will start to lose a lot of money. If you are choosing odds like 1.2 or something, you will need to win 5 matches to cover what you have lost in a single game because you are only getting 0.2x over your bet. So the profitability of this strategy depends on how many games you are winning and how often you are getting a loss or a few losses.

I believe someone shouldn't always target lower odds because sometimes, the odds don't play out the way they are shown, and the side with lower odds might lose the game against a team that gives higher odds if chosen, and this can put the sports bettor at a loss in case they lose two or more such games.
