I find this way of betting a bit easier since you only need to analyze certain players, and since I don’t bet here regularly, I wanted to ask those who are more active in betting. From time to time I see bettors sharing their bet slips, so I got curious.

My question is, is it more profitable compared to betting on the usual markets like point spreads or totals?

Last EPL season I won by betting on two players in football matches. William Saliba of Arsenal and Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool. Both are a centre-back, I bet on them to have up to 60 to 90 touches in 90 minutes. The thing is, it take confidence for a  a centre-back to have so many touches but you see Saliba and Van Dijk they often surpasses 50 touches easily, in average roughly 80–95 touches per match. I took advantage of the odds by the bookmaker and won every time i bet on them.

Many casinos would not offer this many options for you to even be able to bet on players's touches. Why it is essential for you to gamble in a casino that offers a lot of options for you is so you can be able to take advantage of strategies like this that offer a higher chance of winning. I think for you to be able to bet in this sort of way, you have to be an individual who will actually go deep in research of a player you want to bet on before placing your bets or you are very familiar with the player you are about to bet on.

OP, did not made mention of an online casino or local betting sites though. But if you want to find different options like this, then I will recommend local betting sites. I have access to almost 6 local betting site and they offer these options. I am certain I have never used any crypto online casino to bet on this options because am not sure they offer it. Although I haven't checked, perhaps someone could do the checking's and tag me in it. Or Ill do it my self when I want to gamble.

Player props is not for the common gambler. You have to be  a special person to go that route. A very streamline niche and your analysis makes me think you are one. Many years of experience also makes one get better at it too.

Player props betting is capitalizing on speed because the variables are many and before the bookie will change the odds you should be able to catch it. And you must know the game, the club and the players stats with the most recent of information. Meaning staying up to date with the current news.

The downside though is the "unknown" what if the player gets injured? Or get a red card. Those kind of things.

I have made a bet by analyzing certain players in sports betting or precisely football to score goals in my bets, but what I did was with an analysis that was not deep enough, namely looking at the performance of players who often score goals, several times I have won because of that simple analysis, but we know that it is quite risky because the odds like that are usually quite low, so I think it is better to choose a casual bet like choosing to favor between the home or away team.

In other words, even if someone wants to make a bet like that, then he must do an in-depth analysis of a player who does not produce goals very often, so if his guess is correct, then the odds are usually high enough to be able to generate profits in such bets. So far, that kind of gambling is what I have done, while another thing that is similar and I have done is betting on the number of corners.

I'm not that good at placing bets in sports betting, but IMO, seeing shared bet slips online tends to showcase mostly wins, and people rarely post their losses, so it’s not a guarantee that shows a sign of profit.
Profitability really comes down to how well you analyze the players, manage your bankroll, and adapt to what you learn over time.

I'm also thinking about this, what if this happens?
For sure, there will be changes, unexpected changes, like injuries or lineup adjustments, that can result in prop bets more dramatically than overall game outcomes.

This is actually favorable to gamblers who are very familiar with the athletes as well as the sports as they can find some betting lines which can really give them higher chance of winning. This is why if you really know the sports, it is not only the main betting line that will give you opportunity to earn something. In some instances, the chances are quite good in some minor betting lines that will give you better odds. That is, if you are truly familiar with the ins and outs of the sports as well as the athletes involved.

There was a time when I bet on players reaching or failing to reach a certain score. I eventually stopped betting on it. I got frustrated. It was much harder than I thought. Aside from the frustration, it is also a tempting kind of bet. There are so many players you want to bet on. You need to have a bigger bankroll.

In my recent bet especially NBA bets, I am no longer making bets on individual players. I am now focused on 2 or 3 bets and mainly on which team is winning, usually on handicap, and over/under in total scores.

Actually I do consider with the players statistics too at the same time like wise with the Man City on the last game of the EPL I manage to get a good gains with the Man City matches but after I saw their game draw and Haaland didn't perform well on that series I made an observation from the next game of them reason I didn't make a bet so I consider this as a skip game of course its your money and you don't want to lose it at all.
Also this series of the NBA stats to check if their good players will go in the court, like the mystic 5 and if there's an injured its an advantage if there's no star player on the game.

betting or focusing on players props can be frustrating if you have never done it before. it is better you focus on the usual options than this risky route. to achieve this, you must be able to study a particular player for long to know his capacity and previous track record before you can try it. but the chances of wining may still be slim. there is high risk or possibilities that such player may be removed in the pitch due to red card or injury or for any reason just as  Alphakilo said, so definitely such bet is lost already. well i can not discourage you if you have that in mind to try out, but just trying to give you the red flag associated in betting such game.

I'm not saying betting on a player's props is more profitable than point spreads or totals. But it usually provides good odds for bettors. But it's still a bigger risk because anything can happen on the field and I think it's more convenient and easier to analyze the results of point spreads or totals. Most bettors very rarely choose to bet on player props unless they really master all the analysis they have.

I have seen a lot of bets like this, I personally tried only once and it didn't go well.
But examining the odds of the players and the way of betting seems easier to get a good result.
I will definitely study some player with good odds to see how he played last season, to be able to follow him in the next one,
I am really interested in this type of bet.
Luck will obviously be the master.

If you consider the returns that will be obtained betting on player props is quite tempting but it is not as easy as imagined, this type of bet is specifically for those who are very familiar with the characteristics of the player who will be bet and really have good analytical skills. For me it is quite troublesome and because I am just a casual gambler the main focus is the point spread, total and moneyline three betting options that I think are easier.

I think it’s possible if you choose the right player. Some players are consistently good like SGA and there’s some player that consistently bad at something like Angel Reese that keeps missing his first attempt shot.

You can easily find a consistency on players if you will follow them patiently. I rarely bet on player props but I observe this as profitable for someone who will specialize on it.

I tried it but its definitely difficult especially if you make it a same game multi or like a parlay.

There's no trick in betting for the props but you do have to be knowledgeable about each player to avoid mistakes. My tip here is not to be greedy. Let's say a player have an average of 5 rebounds per game, if the odds givem is like x1. 3 for 4 rebounds, do take it. You will never how the game will end so its best to take the most possible result.
Player props is one thing that must be analyzed well because one mistake will ruin it all.

In my case, I tried to bet on this market, for example, I bet on which player would score the most goals, but I confess that I didn't get it right, it seemed more like buying a lottery ticket. That's why I stopped betting on this market and focused on betting on the goals, 1x2, cards and corners markets, which in my opinion I had a better chance of getting right.

I think that there is too much working involved in focusing on player props. And I do not have the luxury of time to go over players statistics what comes easy to me is more of the general statistics of the club, their past performance and prediction for the coming game. In terms of profitability, I like to think that the better you get at your prediction analysis the more profitable you'll become regardless of the type of gambling market you focus on.

Wow, I haven't seen this incredibly option before, it's really the quickest means to winning in sport betting if that option is still available up to this moment, one thing this bookmarkers fo is that, once they see that many people are jumping over a certain option that that makes players win many times, it gives them the chance to remove the options or even increase maybe to 150 touches, something that wouldn't be much possible anymore.

So the best thing as a player to do is to leverage on this opportunity and bet on them the early stage.

The need to do a detailed analysis like this will be very helpful to see how the match will go later.
Substitutions and how the strategy becomes crucial.

When you see that the match is drawn because Haaland or the main player is not playing, you need to think about whether to make a bet or not.
Maybe the match is not very important or some players are deliberately rested to play against a stronger team to maintain their performance.

A thorough analysis to see how the flow of the match will be very helpful, the betting money will be very valuable,
and of course keeping it from being lost and profiting is an effort that needs to be made.

I have to say that every individual the way they bet is not the same, all return to every evaluation in every game and also the approach well in sports betting.

The point: when you decide to bet using the total over/under feature, spread points, in a profitable sports betting or not in my assessment it is very dependent on the knowledge of the individual itself about sports, that's the main point.

It's useless to do activities in the way you say in sports gambling, if they are layman about sports, gamblers like that are not profitable for them, With them having sports knowledge, the advantage will come and is easy, even though they use various strategies or spread points, total over/under.

Many options are available in local betting site but trust me you need to have study the players very well before betting on them because it's not something you rush into because I have good experience in winning. It took me months to know these players have what it takes. The strength of the team is also important because, only a team that hold possession can actually play the ball back to the defenders to have touches. Dont stiff your mind on here, because there ae so many other options you can bet on, just play around it after doing your research.

I prefer to bet on the regular options than betting on players no matter how good they might be. Although the odds are always of high values compared to the basic options this makes it even more risky. I tried this a few times but I didn't really get any profit from it. Personally I would say it's not more profitable than betting on the usual markets but that's just my experience, there are bettors that make profit from it

players Alone can't be a good ground to predict how the match will goz and as a matter of fact sometimes those players are the obstacles themselves, and if you look at clubs that have multiple good players, their always had issues since there could be internal issues between those players, so if you bet along that player line he could be prevented from achieving such success that could aid your winnings so this still ball down risks at the end.

It could be more profitable, but one needs to know exactly what one is doing, because it is needless to say that way of betting in football or basket games is not intended to approach to the vast majority of bettors in the market, and it could be easy for anyone with little experience to suffer consecutive losses by betting on that modality.
For most of people who are interested in betting and do not want to do a huge amount of statistically analysis, then moneyline is better and more straight forward to participate in betting markets.

At least, that is my opinion. I personally would not have time to perform the suitable analysis necessary to bet on the performance of certain players. It could even take to follow those players on social media to keep one up-to-date with their personal life and stuff.

Shared a couple of betslips last EPL season but, they all turned out to be a lost bet. They were accumulation bets though and frankly, it’s always open for one team to mess things up.

Anyway, though I might consider the squad in a team for making a bet, it’s hardly subjected to a single player or two. 4-5 maybe but, not 2 and the placement of the team on their league table, winning streak and other statistical data are sort out for before I give it a green. It doesn’t get easier even then but, I feel a little confident on the bet.

Player props have been kicking my ass honestly. I have been betting the NBA finals and twice now have taken Pascal Siakim to get over 21.5 points and both times he has scored 16 or less. Then I had over 12 rebounds in a game where he ended up with 10. Maybe I need to have more analysis and see how much the guy is actually used in the 2nd and 3rd quarter cause it seems like the Pacers sat him alot in those quarters.

I'm sure circumstances might be easier to judge if it wasn't the Finals, but as of right now I am getting smashed.

I think it’s easier for others to analyze and bet on. Since there are less factors you have to watch. You just need to focus on a player or two but there is not much volume when it comes to this, yes? Sportsbooks don’t often focus on player props but this can be used to your advantage.

Fewest sportsbooks focus on players props which is case for many gamblers not to go through even It's also had balanced results for both, but still most of the sportsbooks stay with their own way which give them better control of game.
Many peoples love to have this because they are capable of doing good work and had better results with these but still it's not for all because in past I try few time always ended on bad result recently I check many tipsters are working on these and giving good results but still it's not easy to have always good results.
If someone is good in analysis and also well aware about match and players situation then surely he can jump into this for better odds and better results but now time for sportsbooks to give some better intention on these for having more peoples getting involved.

I almost never bet on individual players. I disagree with the idea that it is easier because you have to focus on one or two players and they might just have an off day and underperform while the team could still win. That is why I prefer team sports, if one player is having a bad game they can always be substituted. But if a team is aiming for victory and is in good form you can still rely on them to deliver a win.

I would say that there could be some of us who are betting on this kind of listing. Although, I'm also into sports betting, I haven't tried this kind of listing, maybe except for few occasions. And if my memory serves me right, I try this with SGA in this finals and I lost because SGA didn't score that much and the Thunder lost that game.

But I still do think that it's profitable as well for those who are really well verse on the statistics of players. I had a friend who has a good memory, and so he uses it to gamble and bet on it, like in the horse racing wherein he really know the jockey the time of the horse and everything.

So I will say that if there are gamblers who have good memory, maybe player props strategy might be adept to them.

Honestly I have never made a bet that focuses on player props. As most of the users here have mentioned that such bets are not available in all casinos. And most importantly you have to be someone really special who has good knowledge for each player you want to focus on. Honestly this is the first time I have heard about player props. But if you are a journalist or football observer maybe such a bet can be profitable for you. And I myself also think such bets are more profitable than point spreads or totals.

I don't focus on players props alone, I do consider other things too when making predictions, but I know that the times that I staked on some games because there were two best players on the lineup, I just had the believe that the team is going to win the game because of the players, I did win the bet at last. So, it's possible focusing on players props can be profitable but it can be limited to only when you are sure that the potential players are going to be playing in that match, that can reduce the number of bets you take too.

Though I had also tried betting on this kind of market, it’s not really my main focus.
I feel like sports betting should be simple or fun and I prefer to see it as a team game rather than an individual one. That’s why I’m more interested in what the team can do to win.

With that mindset, I just focus on the ATS since I’ve had a pretty good win rate there, although sometimes it does take some deep research.

you know, if you bet blindly, you won't find success in sports betting.

He has a valid point. A team is composed of multiple players that you need to analyze each just to come up with a prediction while a single player is easy to follow his performance consistency.

Even a team does underperform on some of their match because some players drag them down that’s why they lose since it’s a team sports.

Of course it’s a situational topic. Some players do an exceptional game for being consistent on their contribution especially star players.

Players props is good when you're used to how a particular game is being set up, also, you can determine how you want to play the bet and the options to take from their various performances, well, I will also say that this goes with choice, if we think we are good and also interested in players props than using the points spreads or total, to me, they all have almost same level of risk, we may only go for our choice in each of them.

Well, imo, the important thing for me is the sport. I believe that sports like the NFL and baseball (MLB) can be more successful than football. You can establish better historicals or have a better idea of ​​which situations to choose to bet on. In football, there is a lot of variance. In any case, player props are an issue that forms part (30%) of my total bets.

The only reason why I prefer this option compared to others is because the odds are always of high values but I can't really say it's more profitable than the other options in the market... betting involves personal strategy and luck, what works for you might not work for someone else.. personally I don't really have an option that favours me consistently that's why from time to time I change my selections..

Honestly, I have done this before but I wasn't good at it and I lost more than when I bet on totals or point spreads. However, it's a good advantage to have winning options to bet on.

I prefer betting on moneyline which is the most popular for gamblers because you can just make your predictions and boom, you win your bet.

Just know that all the odds that betting sites are giving players to use to bet are all risky and if players go for them, they are most likely to be losing after a long period of time. My advice for you is that just go for the one that you like but I prefer moneyline instead and of which you did not mention it. I also like over/under.

If you think a player is having a high chance to score, while it go for it but with small amount of amount.

I know a few fellows around the forum that go for this market , and I must say it is high risk high reward...but then again if you watch the game more regularly it becomes easy to analyse these players and games that they will be playing...

And personally once in a while I do try to play around these markets but unfortunately my winning probability drops of I stick with prop markets for a while.

We Play to win & not to donate.

Player's statistics could be easily derived from different sports platforms. With the assistance of AI tools, it is even easier. I guess some gamblers might not have such spare time to spend on this statistics.

Gambling itself is a risky adventure. Some sports gamblers have mastered some strategies that have been effective in betting on players. You might be amazed that they see it as less risky and the easiest means of winning a bet. A player's performance can be consistent which might make betting on him easy.

I have tried betting on props market and I enjoyed it. Maybe slightly more than just betting on match winners outright  because it's more fun especially if you're betting on NBA games as I haven't tried it with other sports. So my experience will only be about betting on props in nba games.

For nba, there's a wide range of props you can bet on like a player's total points, assists, turnover, threes, steals, etc. Gambling sportbook like Coinroyale would even let you bet on comparison props. For instance, you can bet on one player getting more assist than another, etc.

I'm also studying this pattern closely against next season because I have noticed that betting on a player have big odd and if carefully selected, the probability is high. There were seasons certain players always score and if one can notice that, it will be a big opportunity to win some money. I will have to explore this option first to ascertain how profitable it is before giving my opinion. I do know people who are good in that option but I can't measure the profitability from their experience.

It is not possible to judge the strength of a team based on just one player, but this can also be an exception. Sometimes a good player can perform well and bring victory to the team. But it would not be right to analyze a player and place a bet because that player may not perform well on the day the bet is placed. However, bets can be placed based on the strength of a team, but even then, it is not possible to guarantee that your bet will win 100%.

The common thing with player props is with those gamblers that are solely focusing on individual performances. When they are certain with the players who can make this xx points, that's good for them to follow. But if you're just someone who bets casually and just tried to get into player props, don't expect that your first bets are going to be winners. Most are easy with the totals and moneylines, as for the spreads, they're also quite fine. I'm not a typical player props but I do it sometimes when moment allows but not really into it.

One thing I've believed and still will believe is that when it comes to betting, what ever style we choose to bet or which ever angle we choose to bet from, our winning depends solely on two factors, and those factors are.....
1. Our level of knowledge of the sports we are betting on..
2. How lucky we are.

Our knowledge of the sports we are betting on helps us know which team would win in a specific position or angle, while after this, we have to submit to luck and allow it decide our fate..

It is important we know that casinos have carefully choosen and arranged all the betting options in a way that they themselves won't be at the loss, so which ever option we choose from while betting, luck usually have the final say as we can't control what happens in the field of play.

Well, I know some bettors who love to bet on player props, and some of them are creating crazy parlays with +10 bets only on player props. It's not my thing, but I like to copy a few picks from time to time. My success is half-half... I had some wins, but many times I had close misses, just a point/rebound/assist or two from a certain player to be a win.

It's interesting to bet on player props, but as always, we need a bit of luck to win a bet/parlay... we can't win & have winning streaks without it.
 

It’s okay to bet on props, but the moment you add a parlay to that, that’s when your chances of winning really drop. You know what they say, betting on parlays is like burning money, even with just 2 legs. And realistically, the more legs you add, the lower your chances become. That’s why sportsbooks love to promote parlays, because they have a much better edge when people bet that way.

In most cases it is more profitable to bet on both teams to score or total goals rather than on money line as we have seen with many games that go wrong in result but go extremely right in goals and both teams to score. However there are also cases when a favorite team who is expected to score a lot of goals does not score that many and the game ends just 1-0 as a result and makes you lose the spreads or other type of bets. So in reality and in the end like we always say it all depends on luck, oh and I also forgot in such type of sport games it also depends much more on the referee rather than luck honestly. The game ends as the referee see fit for him so we have no power on which option is better.

It's not easy, I know :P.

Perhaps player props are the most difficult thing to bet on imho. As a team you know how things will generally go but when you bet on the props it's really a coinflip because the selected player might not score as we expect them to. I do a lot of fantasy sports betting on cricket where you have to make a team and compete with others who also make their own team. It's so damn hard to get the team right because sometimes the best players get out without scoring and sometimes the weakest bowler takes wickets. It's a total coinflip.

For those who don't know much about props markets, just stay away from it.

I've seen several gamblers who are successful through player props, but their profits are not that significant compared to gamblers who are betting on the common markets (moneyline, spreads, totals, etc.)

They sometimes go on a heater and hit most of their bets, and at the same time, the bad days also come, where they have to tank countless losses.

I recall having a bit of success with some MLB props back then, but that doesn't mean it's better because they can still be streaky.
