Just a thought, when a team keeps on losing, they’ll obviously work harder until they get a win right? so maybe that could be a good angle to bet on.

The idea is simple, find a team that’s on 3 or more losing streak, then start backing them to win. sooner or later they’ll break it, and if you time it right maybe you’ll catch that bounce back game. But I’m not sure if that really works or it’s just one of those gambler’s fallacy stuff. what you guys think?

Not a good idea but it depends on the team that is playing, I may think otherwise for a very strong team. If a team is losing, it is better you should avoid the team because the team might either still lose or draw and which are still a loss if you bet on the team to win. I prefer to go for strong team instead of weak teams. The odd can be smaller but I prefer it that way.

They can still continue to be on the losing streak for a long period of time before they finally see a win, and before that, your lucky day you might have lost more than what you are going to win.

And if such should be considered, you will have to watch which team they are up against and if their chances of winning are high or low, and not just follow them up blindly, as that's going to be a waste of strategy.

That's a bad idea, it's possible for a team to have 3 losing streak from there to 7 loss in a row. What can you say about a team in relegation zone, how many times do they bounce back. Some teams can go on a 7 weeks without any win and then win one. Let's say you bet $10 on a single them for them to win and the bookmakers game you 4 odd, if you win that game, you will win $40 dollar but when you lose 7 games you will lose $70, where is the sense in this kind of logic.

It's not a must that you have to bet on a team to win. You can bet on them to lose and to are going to make  a cut from it, the only downside of this is that if bookmakers knows that something is obvious, the odd will be small or in significant to your wager, just make sure you play around the market and select market that you kmow the team is capable of doing, sometimes it's better you play around number of goals that can be score in a match than relying on a single outcome from a team.

that's definitely a bad idea. would you bet on a team that's on a winning streak to lose? think about it that way. if that makes sense to you, there's a much simpler explanation. i've written about this before.

when flipping a coin, if you get heads or tails several times in a row, you think the next one will be the opposite. when you try again, your prediction may or may not come true. but in reality, previous results have no effect on subsequent coin tosses. even if your previous 1 million tosses were all heads, the probability of heads or tails on the next toss is always fixed at 50%.

it's the same in soccer. some teams sometimes go on winning streaks, and that's normal because there are three possible outcomes for a team in a match: you win, you draw, or you lose. with dozens or hundreds of teams playing matches every week, it's very normal for some of them to get the same result several times in a row.

Personally, I do not think it is great move. Even a die-hard fan will not bet on their club during their losing streak. It is a poor investment/ betting strategy. Better not to even bet at all than to bet on a teams in a losing streak. Unless the person is experimenting with it and wants to see what the outcome would be. If not even betting with money you can afford to does is excluded from this type of move.

Are you indirectly referring to Liverpool? Bad guy ;D. I've predicted them already to win Aston Villa in today's match, let's see if your theorem is validated in that match.

If this is happening to a big team like the one mentioned above, it might be subject to key players suffering injuries, players going out of form and other concerns. They always find their footing and bounce back with proper squad reinforcement and restrategized tactics. But if it's an underdog, there may not be much that they can do about it since they're already disadvantaged with respect to quality of players that makes up the team.

If you are betting on a team who has a losing streak and your justification to this is because "eventually they will win like some sort of a pity counter, then you're going to have a bad day when you will rely on this sole factor.

Instead of viewing losing teams like they have a hidden pity counter, look at the angles and reasons on why they are losing in the first place. Perhaps their star player is injured; or maybe they have tons of injuries; or a drastic change to their coaching staff?

Lots of reasons on why these teams are losing and you should perhaps focus on those reasons rather than what you are suggesting OP.

If you've been backing Liverpool from the 3rd straight loss, you've lost in 3 out of 4 bets you've made on them, and the one you won was with very small odds. When a team is on a losing streak, it's not a good move to bet on them. You can either avoid them or play other options, like goals.
It's fine if you just want to take a bigger risk, but most of the time, it doesn't pay off because even if you finally win, you must have lost like over 3 times before that one win.

When gambling, the current form of the team should be a very big factor to consider. It doesn't matter how big that team may be, as long as they are in a bad form, playing them to win is just you betting with bias or emotion. A lot of other factors should be considered, like the availability of their key players, the fitness level of their players, the stadium (home or away), but current form is a bigger factor in my opinion.

I wouldn't open my eyes and bet on any team on a losing streak because it means that you don't care about winning your bet. Let's use United and Tottenham last season in EPL, none of them qere able to fight back to the point of winning two consecutive matches.

I bet on a team based on my analysis and research. I don't bet blindly because I want to win my bet. Let the losing streak team start winning their matches before I can consider betting on them.

Is that supposed to be a technique or just a hunch?

Well I can’t say if that’s a good idea or a bad one, but I guess the best way to actually find out if it’s good or bad would be to try it out, for now it’s just a theory that no one actually knows for sure if it’ll work or not, people will only tell you what they think, but actually experience would speak much meaning.

Although, these method could have its cons too. For example, there’s no guarantee that a team that’s been outperforming would automatically comeback with some wins, it’s possible that they’ll win a few games and maybe draw most of their games (that’s if they don’t lose). But I guess we’d never know for sure until you or someone tried it.

Well, I would say that it depends because sometimes those teams which we think they're more superior can lose for the first time and when this happen, some gamblers can just see it as a mere coincidence and still go for the same team the following week with the hope that they Will improve in their next match and that's how they will keep rotating it. I personally do not give second chance to any team if I try a team for the first time and they failed, I won't think of adding them to my bet the following week.

I wrote it in bold in your post, OP. Maybe means that you can win or you can lose.

It is true that most teams should go back to the mean after a losing streak, but that depends on many other factors which cause deviations from that mean so I don't think it really works because it could be a streak of 3, 4, 5, ... games. Betting only based on these past poor results won't make it more probable to get the bet right.

What if the losing streak continues for 6 or more games without a win? Unless you have a big bank and you constantly increase the stakes even when you reach the first win, you will not be able to cover all the losses you had until then.

My opinion is that if someone is going to use this strategy, they should look for teams that have not won at least 6 consecutive games, and let's say they are playing a team that has not lost in the same number of games. In such situations, even a weaker team can play an above-average game and defeat a much stronger opponent.

In the world of sports, there are very different views on teams that lose in a row.
The reason: they often replace players, replace the coach and what's worse is not confident and enthusiastic, that's what happens to a team that often loses matches.

When a team loses in a row in every match, for me betting is a bad idea, the method of changing players is riskier, they always adapt well to fellow players and also opponents. quite a few sports teams do not recover from the effects of successive defeats, even though they train hard, the winning team also does the same thing and trains even harder, from 10th place they want to go to 1st place, that is what often happens in the world of football, so choosing to gamble on a team losing in a row is a bad idea for me.

It all depend on how good is the coach and the players are improving; if they were losing their games due to injuries, and none of their key players are back from injury, then it is very risky to bet on them to return to form or winning matches because a team without players can’t win you a match unless if they play against a team without players can’t same problem with them, and the bookmakers will make the odd small for both of the teams considering their conditions.

If the team didn’t have any injured player, and their losing was coming due to poor form or the coach formation, you can bet on them because the key players in that team will want to get it right in any match and the coach will also want to win to give their fans hope; in that case, betting on such teams is not a bad idea at all because you will have a good odd.

As some other members pointed out already, what happens if the losing streak continues? Do you plan to apply a bit of martingale and raise stakes? I guess there's no point in staking the same amount... the games with weaker opponents will have very low odds.

I don't think it's smart to bet on some random team with 3 or more lost games... Maybe there's something in following a few teams on a losing streak and waiting for a perfect moment to place a bet on them to win. But for that, you really need to get into it... and you need a lot of patience.

Yes that's a common thought especially if we're just bettors and just blindly think their preset or future performance will somehow change but that's we bettors are thinking. Well, it's not that difficult to find them especially on major leagues and by just speculating they'll turn things around without backing with improvise coach plan or improving the roster you're likely just donating an obvious game. That's just house giving you lead that it's a value bet, it's more like fallacy stuff.

Seems to depend on the performance still, because there are good teams just sadly having a bad draft of the group stage like they face the team who really performed well so there are some bad drafts and matches right there, now if thats not the case and the performance is poor and you cant see any potential on the team it seems its way more riskier to make a bet its just a waste of money and a waste of time more likely if you are an enthusiast you every game they made, every mistake and every move if they are willingly want to win the game. Never doubt your guts on the game that you see is has a higher chance to lose your money. Not all game are worth it to make a bet.

Some actually do place bets on their team irrespective of the positive they are in; they just can't bear to place bets on them to lose. I don't know if I should call it stupid or harmless support, because placing a bet with money is beyond just loving the team; it goes down to you also expecting some great return with hope. If it doesn't, you accept it in good faith, but not when it's already obvious that it will be a loss and some still go ahead and do that.

All teams try hard to win because they don't win only for the gamblers, they win to prove their own strength and for their club. So most of the time it is seen that the teams that are very popular and considered very strong win frequently. And their Odds are very small. I just observe some simple steps and always bet on popular teams. And their winning ratio is always high, but since the odds are small, even if you win a few times, you lose only once. So I don't think that any sector of gambling is profitable. It is a good decision to just have fun from all sides and it will keep you calm. But if you think about profit, you will be very excited and mentally unstable.

I will never encourage anyone to do that because you don't know when their pain will end. At that state, they have no confidence and self esteem skills anybody can still beat them. That is what Liverpool is facing at the moment and i will not be surprised if they are beaten by Aston Villa.  Another team that have not been doing too well too is Nottingham Forest,  that is why I went all in on Manchester United to won them. Until they start winning, I will continue to bet against any team facing losing streak.

True, that sometimes the pattern of a team losing a few games makes it look like they’re due for a win but that doesn’t always mean it’s gonna happen next game a losing streak could come from different reasons maybe the team has injuries maybe the chemistry isn’t working or maybe their morale is just down and betting on them out of sympathy or logic like “they gotta win someday” is just setting yourself up for that gambler’s fallacy trap.

The bounce back theory works sometimes but only if the team actually shows progress like you said if they’re losing because of bad luck or close calls and they’re still performing strong then yeah maybe they’re on the verge of turning it around but if they keep playing poorly and show no improvement then betting on them is just hoping for a miracle. It’s better to look deeper than just streaks check player stats motivation matchup dynamics even external factors like travel fatigue or schedule gaps that’s what gives better accuracy rather than assuming a team will win just because they’ve been losing for too long sometimes a losing streak keeps going longer than anyone expects and you end up chasing it till your bankroll bleeds out.

Betting on teams in a losing streak can be value-driven, if the odds overcorrect. The key is separating bad form from bad fundamentals. Some teams just run cold, others are broken. I usually wait for a lineup or morale shift before backing them again.

Do you track odds movement after 3+ straight losses before placing bets?

I have to say it's a smart move because it can work once they get a better matchup. This reminds me of a few NFL teams a few weeks back that had records like 0-4 and 0-3, then out of nowhere, most of them somehow pulled a miracle win by beating teams that had no business losing that week.

I wouldn't regularly take underdogs to win, but their spread can be a moneymaker if the bookies like to give out higher points on the handicap.

Good point, but for those who are luckiest. A team that is facing loss again and again will try to break the streak, and everyone knows that this will happen sooner or later, it's not something we don't know. The thing is, how will you know if this match is when they will make a comeback? Maybe you are placing a bet thinking that this is the time, but at that moment, they will lose again. We already know the idea you have given us, we need something that can tell us that this time they will make a comeback.

Sometimes it pays off while other times it doesn't. You have to know when to follow the losing streak pattern and when to change option, what matters is the team being played against.

It also goes  the other way round, a team on winning streaks usually come up with the lowest odds, at some point one team finally breaks their unbeaten run and the odds are usually bigger, similar case for Bayern Munich at the moment, in todays match against Leverkusen, eight games streaks will be broken if they don't win or draw.

betting on a team thats losing &  thinkin its time for them to win  may sound good, however here is where the gamblers misconception comes into play, ha ha !
A team just keeps losing, not thinking they will suddenly win. Sometimes they are in bad form, key players are missing or they are mentally unstable

But yeah , if you analyze the situation well,, such as injuries, motivation &  opponent fatigue,, there is a chance to bet on a more certain comeback
But dont be too dramatic about it or you might fall victim to their losing streak, :P ha ha !

Having 3 lose streak is hard to find, most of them only lose 2 matches.

I only found one team in top tier league which is West Ham, they will meet Newcastle. Honestly I really doubt West Ham will beat Newcastle because West Ham is very terrible recently and Newcastle is quite good, they're on 3 win streak.

Let's see whether your idea works or not.

it could be a good idea and it could also be a nightmare for us, there is nothing we can really predict, if i have doubt then i will not place a bet better choose a Live match and watch while the match and start betting

Ah, perhaps this is very relevant to the Liverpool vs. Aston Villa match.  ;D
Liverpool is on a four-match losing streak, while Villa is on a four-match winning streak. Is betting on Liverpool a bad thing? Not necessarily, as this match could be a different story. However, it is a riskier bet, as betting on a team on a losing streak could lead, maybe they are get another lose. Still, this is not bad idea, because one day the match can get diffrent result, and match with our betting.

This seems to be a very smart idea but you cannot always rely on this, if a team has lost three matches in a row there's a chance that they might lose the next one and there's also a chance that they might, it all depends on the club they are up against and some other factors you should look out for on stats before making your final decision, there's no guarantee that juat because a team has been losing their watches they might win their next game

Generally, I think it is neither a smart move nor a bad idea to bet on a team in a losing streak because, it depends entirely on the reasons why the team is losing and how the bookmakers place their odds as a response of reaction to it.
Also, thinking that past independent events will have much influence on the future events is a Gamblers fallacy.

The only way that makes sense to place a bet on a team in a losing streak that makes it qualify as a smart move, is if the gambler can identify a value opportunity that the betting public has missed, but one must have become a professional at gambling inorder to identify this value opportunity and thus bet accordingly.

Let's say you back that a team gets three lose streak, then it continues until ten lose streak. Is it worth with the money that returned after you get a win when they winning their 11th game. This sounds a dumb idea to be honest. Why don't we always bet onto the winning team that guarantee us to get money in almost every game? that's the logic.  :D :D :D

Your logic isn't bad, it might work with some teams, but it needs to be analyzed independently for each game and team
I don't know exactly which sport you're referring to
I bet more on soccer, and you can identify some teams that are on a bad streak, with losses, but that have the strength to react and win against other teams.
There are some teams that are so bad that it's not a good idea to bet on them to win

You have to consider the odds to make up for this bet, since it's quite risky. Maybe odds of more than 2.5 might start to get more interesting

What I love the most is the fact that you used the word fallacy, it's sure one of the illusions that comes in one or two times making someone believe they can win more if they try that, but of course you might end up entering the wrong table, for instance believing a team will bounce back but unfortunately they go down deep the lossing streak that will not just frustrate but probably end your gambling journey in my opinion.

What you are essentially trying to do is bet on the underdog team, which has high odds and unfortunately if that team wins, it is not possible to make a huge profit. But suppose that team loses 45 out of 50 matches and wins only five matches. In many cases, it is seen that they do not even go to five matches. Just imagine for yourself whether you can bear the amount of losing 45 matches or whether you can accept losing continuously.
If you can, stake only what you can afford to lose. It goes without saying that if you are lucky, you can make 10x profit if the underdog team wins.LOL  :P

Your thoughts is actually a common though or mindset of many bettors and yes what you said might sound reasonable to you and many others but when it comes to what's real on ground, it is actually a very risky step to take because that a team is facing losing streaks does not automatically means they will revive from the lost.

I am already thinking this question is tied to the current situation of Manchester United in the Premier League but even at that, look at their match today, they could not win although they didn't lose it but it is always not a reason to gamble and support a team because you have in mind they will bounce back, so if they don't bounce back is that how you will continue to lose and keep supporting them or Wil you stop at some point and what point?

It is a risky move to do such when it is clear that such a team has been losing serially to other teams they have encountered in the past. Sometimes, it could be that the team's key player(s) have an injury which has prevented them not to playing in matches past, or the team does not have many good players.  This is why sometimes we see teams lose serially; there is no guarantee that they could or would win a game. So, such betting criteria you have used aren't feasible.

Suppose the strategy you are discussing that works, will you be profited? I don't think so because you are thinking that if a team is losing in a row, it will win the next bet and you have bet relatively more on that but if the team does not win, then there is a possibility of losing more than profit. There is no way to use any strategy with certainty in any bet. Moreover, if I win a bet after losing a few matches in a row, it will not be a big win for me. So before applying any strategy, it is better to observe well and take a decision. When you place a bet, you should accept that there is a possibility of loss.

Bad one, Liverpool have lost about 7 games winning one in eight games. If you have been betting in favour of Liverpool to win because they are on a losing streak then you lose more . The morals of the team on a losing streak is already dampened so winning is a problem to them. Instead look for an average team with a high odd to win against a bigger team because in football shocks is part of the game

Betting on a team that have always lost their game to lose in it's forthcoming game while gambling is still also a workable strategy. Because their is a higher percentage chance of previous performances to occur over again and again, if only such team has not bought or signed a new player, goalkeeper or Coach. Because these are parameters that are likely to influence the outcome of a sport game. While secondly, knowing the strength of the club they wishes to play with also matters, because if that team happens to meet a team which they are stronger than, their is a huge chance of them winning, unlike when gambling with a strong team.

I think it depends on the situation at the time. If the team is a big name, I can still trust them even if they're on a losing streak, like Liverpool, for example. Conversely, if the team is mediocre, betting on them isn't a good idea, even if the market offers good odds because the potential for them to continue losing is quite high. However it's better not to try this idea in the long run, as you'll likely experience frequent losses, it's better to bet on a team that's truly in top form, it's much safer.

Not always true but you have a point.

However, team that in losing streak usually struggle a lot and we don’t know exactly when they will recover. There’s a lot of team that suffer a losing streak more than 3 so it’s still bit risky using this strategy.

There’s reason I agree is because there’s some team that was strong before and just suffer to bad games recently. This is the team that be looking for when using this strategy because they usually snap out on losing streak when motivated already.

If this method is so good why not give it a try and see?  :D I like things been practical rather been theoretical and misleading.
This will suck up your bankroll and in the end, you will lose more than you may have plan from the beginning. Do you even have an idea when a team that is on losing streak is going to bound back. Let's assume you have been doing this with Liverpool ever since they have been on losing streak and you have been staking money on them, how long do you think it will take you to recover that money? Bookmakers knows that you will try this, so they will make it unprofitable for you.

Unless you are trying to bet on relegation teams, like this evening Nottingham forest was 14 odd to win Manchester United, that never happened though but it almost did. Such games can help you get back your money but that team has concede more goals than the have scored and have draw more matches, left to me try and avoid all this kind of bets.

This is right. Not all the time team making up and improved just to end their losing streak because some team is on losing streak because other team has a great skills that dominate mediocre team.

On NBA, there’s a lot weak team on lower spot experiencing a long losing streak just because they are inferior to other team and not because they are performing poor.

It’s like betting on cold slot games and wait until you hit a win. But this time you are relying to a weak team finally have luck to beat strong team.

In my opinion, this would be the worst strategy because when a team is on a losing streak, it's difficult to predict in which game that streak will end. This is especially true if we're dealing with a team in the relegation zone, and even with top teams, it's still difficult. Look at Liverpool; if you had bet on them in every game since they started losing, you would have had many losses. And today, in the game they won, the odds were only @1.44, which is very low considering the losing streak you would have had.

I believe that such an approach will not work because the team that's already losing most of its matches will continue losing more matches. In very rare instances such low performing teams can secure some wins but in most cases one could literally lose the bet amount by betting on such teams.

Maybe it depends on the team. If it’s not a really bad team, just one that’s been struggling a bit, then I’d be fine backing them to win.

For example, if you look at the standings (https://www.espn.ph/nba/standings
), the Knicks, Kings, and Wizards are all on a three-game losing streak. If I were to bet following your idea, I’d probably take the Knicks and Kings only since they’re solid teams. The Wizards though, they’ve been underperforming for a while now.

IMO, that's a good idea to try on betting on the losing streak teams. But just keep on researching on them if they really have a chance to win, while they're going to work hard and that's for sure. It's best for you to always bet with an amount that you'd be fine to lose. That's the root of it and if it's a strategy that you have thought of, that's totally fine until you have managed to see that it's on you able to see that they'd break that losing streak. I might do this as well if I am quite bored and doesn't have anything to do with my spare.

This can't be a favourable strategy. So you've to lookout for a team and loosing is it custom and then you've to keep betting on the team without drastic analysis? Very wrong choice because winning will be very far from you while you can only win when that team wins. What's even the essence of betting on teams that you know it can't beat the opposition team? This simply means you make your decisions of who wins based on favorite teams.
Just a reminder, there're frustrating teams that looses in the streaks that can't even beat the underdog at most of matches, so how do your patient stay confident to regularly betting on same team to win even when you know they're playing with a big team that can beat your team hands down.

You will lose a lot of money before you win. When the team is on a losing streak, there's something wrong with the team composition or internal issues that need to be resolved so they can harmonize their plays. It will take some time before that happens.

So, betting on teams on a losing streak is very risky; better check how they're losing—whether it's a microscopic margin or an upset—then that's the right time to bet on that team.

I’ll try that when the new season starts, because that’s when teams usually come in with fresh energy and renewed spirit. Most teams also make changes then like updating their strategies, lineups, and overall approach, so it’s definitely worth trying. If it’s just about looking for losing streaks in the current season, I’m not really interested, since most of those teams are just struggling with poor composition or bad form right now.

This doesn't always happen, when a team losses its not always certain that they would win the next game but there's a chance that they might due to some reasons but this isn't something that you can rely on constantly, it cannot always work...if you arr going to make use of such a strategy its better to watch the teams you pick very well, some can end up losing consistently in all their matches

Perhaps it was a idea that those who are in a losing streak will be the underdog? And so with that, it's going to be a good return if you bet on them? But still though, we don't know when they are going to break that spell and up to who is their opponent.

And maybe the biggest odds you can get with that is 2.5x or higher, and so that is a big risk as well if the team losses. So it might be better to just bet regularly, look at the ends and analyzed the game instead of trying for this long shot win that might not come.

It's not an assurance of a good idea, because I've seen clubs which keep losing match after match, and the maximum they can do is to achieve a draw against another teams. Only once in a lifetime they win a game, but that is too tricky to predict when they are going to manage doing so.

Ironically, here in Brazilian Championship, the bottom teams sometimes win against the ones from the top of the ranking, going against all the expectations. Anyway, it's too risky to place such bets, as the most likely outcome is that you are going to lose money by hoping they will win.

After all, it's a strategy like any other in gambling. A strategy which won't guarantee you profitability and solidity on your performance as a gambler.

That will not guarantee you can win even if the team is trying to win against other teams. You should be realistic and still analyze the match to find the right team and place your bet. But you can try that way and see if that works or not. Hence, you should prepare for anything may happen. Although there is a possibility for you to have a chance to win but we never know for sure. We depend on our analysis before placing our bet so we must be careful selecting the team and be concerned about the money we use for the bet.

It would have been a good idea but what if you bet on them to win hoping they will work harder to top their table and you end up losing more and more, that means you have just risked your money for nothing. Although they could win also do to their level of hardwok but no one is certain when that will happen. Emagine predicting accumulator game that involves 6 to 7 match and you include this dead team hoping they could win, and they end up cutting your ticket perhaps all other team has played but you just discovered that it's only that team that you included that cut your ticket then it would be very bad. It will only be good if you bet on them on a single ticket expecialy when their odd is high due to constant loss.

If a team at the bottom of the tournament bracket never won, they'd likely be eliminated from the championship altogether in the near future. So, naturally, they'll be working hard to recover, and the coaching staff is expected to be busy signing top players and ensuring the team's play improves day by day. But as for a bettor, I think they need to be a fan of the team so they won't be upset by any situations that don't go according to plan. Risking money and betting on a win is something only those with a keen sense of their opponent, an understanding of their mistakes in the upcoming game, and an accurate assessment of the likelihood of their team winning are capable of. I'd take that risk if I had extra money, and losing it wouldn't bother me at all.

In soccer there were some teams who suffered 5 losing streak or even more and most likely the managers of these teams will be sacked because of poor results and although they have to changing the manager but usually new managers will hard to make the teams bounce back and they will continue their losing streak until eventually these teams will be relegate to the lower leagues

I don't think bets on these teams will be profitable because you only wasting your money and indeed betting on these teams will high odds but if you lost money high odds is nothing and i think instead of betting on the loser teams i think bets on the strong teams is much better although the teams like this has low odds but it will be profitable especially if you were bets on them consistently

Kings snapped that 3-game losing streak, nice win on the road vs the Bucks. +6.5 line was pretty sweet, I’d say odds were near 3.00. Looks like a solid pick overall based on the strategy. Next is the Knicks, playoff team, reached ECF last time I remember, so its still a strong team to trust.

Indeed, when a team loses, it often reveals a fundamental weakness in their overall performance, making it difficult to expect success in the following match. Placing a bet on such a team carries a high risk of failure unless their next opponent also has a history of poor results. Yet when both teams are weak, the game tends to lose its significance, becoming a contest of limited excitement and uncertain outcome. In these cases, a draw is the most likely result, one that benefits the bookmaker far more than the gambler, as it keeps the balance of loss and gain firmly in the house's favor.

It is a risky call, but I won't call it a smart move because you just lose your money with one more loss and if you keep on betting them until they win there is no benefit for you in it unless they just won you in the first attemt itself.

Being smart is to reduce the risk as much as possible even if the potential rewards are low.

Yeah, and you might call it lucky too, if you caught it in at the right time that the team snapping their losing streak. So there is risk as what we say, but being a gambler and knowing the game itself we might take it sometime and get away with it.

But it's not something that is going to happen again and again, those teams that are in a losing streak might continue and so don't always look for this one. I had this strategy before in roulette wherein I will bet on cold numbers and it's neighbors for a cool x36, but then again, it is luck base game.

I think this strategy this strategy will work more on big teams, dominating teams that are struggling at the moment, losing maybe due to bad Management or coach yet to adapt to the system. Just as Liverpool were struggling these past weeks it would be wise to bet on them to win and break the losing streak just the way OP mentioned. My friend said something like that about Liverpool winning against Aston Villa but I doubted it and didn't add them to my games.

For real it will be difficult for top teams that struggling to go 7 weeks straight without a win. It's risky but sometimes it can work.

sometime there are people that are trying this strategy (long streaks are not a good "sign" even if they are win or lose).
But like martingale and all of these techniques, here you can achieve a big loss, easily, few matches losses and it's impossible to recover it.
Imagine you're trying to hit the Sinner's defeat in an ATP match. He has likewise 92% of win in a single year... For sure each time he lost, the odds are crazy higher.
But it sounds like to catch a fallig knife.... ::)

The thing is that you can never tell when they would win or how long they could take before winning, but to me I think, one have to watch when they make changes like assigning a new player or coach with this you can be sure of winning very soon if those people assigned performed very well. But when all these changes are not made then it is not a good idea to keep betting on them even when they are losing for long it would results to consistent losing.

With the dream of external factors to be turning up, risking our own money does not sound like a right approach to me. What you are trying to justify must can be a good perspective in term of searching for winning a bet but when rationally thinking, I guess that I will not go betting with a team which is on long losing streak. Because, I feel like there cannot be any minimum guarantee for my stake in such team or a player.

If you do this type of betting for better odds, then I guess that would be making some sense. I mean, when a team is on losing streak, it may be considered as underdog and the odds would be very lesser compared to its opponents. Yeah, betting on underdog may get you huge profits if they win. Still the chances are less than 50%.

I dont think that a team that is on a loosing streak plan to work harder next time. Imho each time, each game, every team try to be the most prepared and show their best. I doubt that some comes unprepared and think that he will prepare next time better. If a team is on a long loosing streak, I believe that they will lose next game as well, as they have low morale. They already dont have much believe in themselves.

It feels logical thinking a team that keeps losing is due for a win soon but that’s exactly where the gambler’s fallacy sneaks in the truth is each game starts with its own set of variables and no matter how long a losing streak goes it doesn’t automatically increase the odds of a win the team might still be outmatched dealing with injuries low morale or weak strategy and none of that changes just because they’ve lost a few in a row. Still many gamblers fall for this mindset because it feels like chasing balance in the universe that after enough losses a win must come but sports doesn’t work that way the performance depends on preparation and not probability resetting itself like a coin toss so betting on a losing streak team might work once or twice by luck but over time it’s a losing system.

If you really want to use that pattern it’s better to mix it with real data instead of pure emotion check the reason behind their losses maybe the defeats were close games or they faced top tier teams if that’s the case then a rebound could make sense but if the team is simply performing poorly then no amount of optimism will fix it betting should always be based on analysis rather than trying to predict when luck will turn.

Yes, of course they want to recover from defeat as quickly as possible, because every match is not as easy as we expect, the opponent will certainly put up maximum resistance. This is where the coach's role is very important. After suffering several defeats, the atmosphere within the team can be heated, full of frustration, or even internal conflict. The coach must understand and read the psychology of each player and must be able to resolve it quickly to prevent future conflicts between players.

Indeed, betting on a team experiencing a losing streak ultimately depends on whether you still believe in them or not. Even if the team is fairly consistent, they can still suffer defeats. The bottom line is that the outcome of each match is a mystery.

Yeah, it worked. Tomorrow the Knicks will host the Bulls at home. The spread is -7, and if you go moneyline, I haven’t checked yet but probably around 1.50. Still a decent price, considering the Knicks are desperate for a win. I think they’ll not only end their own losing streak but also break the Bulls’ winning streak in the process.

honestly there are lots of factors you have to first consider because these teams are on a losing streak for a reason and you have to understand why? do they not have much funds? are their players not that good compared to others? and if they are to win at some point again, there has to be a turning point for them why would they win? new sponsors? new recruits? new coach?

I think we all hunt this teams at least once per year right ? or also speculating when a winning streak will end right ? I mean both sides deserves to be speculate as long as you have the necessary money to bet on them every game.

Per example , I really love to hunt Dota 2 games. When we have 4 games in a day and all 3 series went 2-0 or 2-1 , I will automatically place a bet on last series to go either under 2.5 maps or over 2.5 maps ...depends on what the score was in the previous 3 and most of the times it work guys.  ;D

Same goes for football , I like to hunt both teams to score on teams who didn't score a lot in 1st half or barely score 1st at all.

They will definitely work hard to win the next match, but you also have to consider the team you support and their opponents. You can't just rely on luck by betting with a scheme like that. Not all teams will bounce back after consecutive losses. You need to know the quality of the players and whether the team has the potential to recover. Otherwise, it's like you're just betting randomly.

I think the best way to know if this strategy really works is to keep a record. It’s simple anyway, just bet on a team that’s on a 3-game losing streak and see if they bounce back with a win. That’ll give you real data instead of just guessing.

But I’ve got a suggestion. Maybe we don’t even need to wait for 3 straight losses, 2 might be enough. Good teams rarely lose three in a row; they usually bounce back right after a bad game. So 2 losses could already be a solid signal if we’re testing this kind of strategy.

I think this is a risk concept because it is not every team that's on a losing streak has the potential and ability to do a comeback due to the possible mental health and pressure the team will be experiencing from fans, board members, etc.
Unless the betting you're talking about has to do with the match that the team has a high chance of winning, because it is nice to always go for a team with that good chance of winning than going for a team with a 2 or more losing streak with no huge chance of winning.

Bro. :o

This is unbelievable, West Ham who suffered 3 lose streak able to beat Newcastle. This might be just an one match, but it's already a good start to prove it, if I see a team that currently suffered 3 lose streak, I would like to know the result. Probably 5 match is enough for experiment.

Anything can happen in sport and we should not think that for a team to have 4 straight losing streak means they will not win their next matches. I know that mental uncertainty can be one of the problem that can make the team to continue losing even in their next matches but the pressure and insults from their fans, coach and other team can make them work more and get prepare for a win match.

If we relate this to gambling, because you have had 4 straight streak loses does not mean that you can not win our next bet.  All these can attach to the reason that can make us hustle more and stake on games that will earn us profits.

It's a high risk to bet on a team on a losing streak because the team isn't in a good position and their confidence is usually low, which can affect their overall performance on the field. So there's no guarantee they can turn things around and improve their situation in the next match.
However, if someone wants to bet on a team on a losing streak, they need to prepare themselves for the worst-case scenario the team could lose again and again... and therefore, it's better to bet money they're prepared to lose. That way, even if the result ends in a loss, at least it's money already allocated for that risk, but if the team wins, it will be a big win.

It looks fallacy and not at the same time. If you’re following up with a team’s performance in every game even when they’re on a losing streak, you can easily tell if they have any hope of coming up again to break that losing streak and begin ti win. But football is very hard ti predict the outcome and that’s why many people have also failed to become rich through gambling.

Its fallacy when the team you’re betting on to break the losing streak odd is not showing sign of breaking it and you keep betting on them to win. Also, it’s not fallacy if you see the signs in them that they can break the losing streak. But what is most important in all of this is that, you should only use the money you can afford to lose to test run this. It’s not assured of a win but to some extent you can get some win.

This is the exact gambler's fallacy that happens in other games like roulette. If red came out 5 times in a row that means now it must be black? Works good until it does not and you crash and burn when there is an extraordinary losing streak.

If you want to bet on a team solely because they are in a losing streak then there is no analysis, this is not compatible with an analysis. If you want to do an analysis on a team that is on a losing streak and then decide whether to bet on it or not, then the losing streak is irrelevant to this discussion. They could be in any other situation, winning streak or balanced outcomes. You're still doing an analysis. Because of that I don't think it is useful to involve analysis here otherwise as I said we can ignore the losing streak completely.

Yeah it is like the roulette thing that I described. Pretty common and novice mistake if I may say so.

There’s a handicap option nowadays to help bettors on heavy underdogs team due to losing streak still have a fair chance of winning.

Bookie usually offers +10.5 or more depending how bad the team performance based on their previous matches to make their books for specific match still receive some bets on the underdog side.

I preferred betting in handicap this way because a simple boost on underdog performance even they fall short in the end can result to winning bet.

Then that means you are going to lose so much before you will be able to win. Don’t be surprise that the amount which you will have lost will definitely be more than the amount which you will be winning, so I don’t really think ideas like this is just the best. Just because a team is experiencing frequent loss doesn’t mean if you place a bet you going to be lucky and things will be different. If you decide to use this strategy on a strong team which their performance just drooped all of a sudden, then we will expect a bounce back from the team, but if you use it on a team that are not performing well, don’t be surprise that you won’t really be winning, the strategy won’t work.

Yes, anything can happen in the game of sports, and that's why I believe it's always important to check the potential chances of the sides winning the match instead of blindly going for the team that's winning every match back-to-back.
About the pressure and insults from fans, the coach, and the other team. According to what I once said before, it is not every team member that has the mentality to do a comeback when under pressure, and from the record we have some team members that have to visit a therapist for their mental health

Even though we know that anything is bound to occur in sports, does it mean we should gamble or should say bet without considering some notable facts about bets, hence we don't know when teams on losing streak will win, will you advise anyone to bet on teams with such number of loss as you said to bet such teams, I will like a sincere response from you, there some risk we don't take in gambling, if am to advice anyone ik situation like this I will only say we can bet on such teams on goals not on straight win, I didn't say they can't win or they won't pick form, I think that's not the case here but we talking about the form of this team, I think it will be very wise if we bet on something that will be realistic at the end of the day.

Teams that lose in a row mean that they are very weak and they cannot predict when they will win a match. If you bet on that team, it will be completely up to your luck. Because those who lose in a row cannot win easily, but their odds are very high. If someone can bet on those teams, then he can win several times the amount of his bet, which is a very big win. It would be wise to keep a close eye on the teams and place a bet on a potential team. I don't think it's a good idea to place a bet on a team that has been losing in a row. Even though winning at gambling depends on luck, you should always use your own strategy to enjoy it more.

In esports, I can't do that to be frank. A losing streak of a team means that they're weak and they'll have no more chance to come back. That's how we judge games and the teams that are doing pretty bad. Yeah, they might do well on their next matches but if it's on the current one that they're playing, they're already outdated and likely have been studied well by the opposing teams and so, thus the losing streak. I've seen a lot of teams that have performed badly but on the next participation with another tournament, some of them have done well. If I am going to bet on the actual time they're in a losing streak, it's a no. But if they do good on the next tournament, I might do it.

It also depends on the team, if we are talking about an outsider, there are even cases when a team can lose almost all of its games during the season, draw a couple of times, and get only a few wins. So in this case, I think it’s a risky and bad idea. However, if we are talking about a favorite, let’s take Liverpool as an example, they had a losing streak, but I think in this case we can expect them to win, just like they did in the match against Aston Villa or in the Champions League, because it’s a strong team and their crisis might have been temporary.

But have we forgotten that no team will always want to have a repeated losses coming more often at every of their matches, as a matter of fact, we cant predict which side will win a bet or losses, we could see from the recent occurrence that the small teams are beating the bigger one in football sports, this alone shows that its a game of the survival of the fittest, we should always gambling with the expectation of anything happening.

It must only be normal that there will be some changes in a game. They are like scheduled and if the the team is on a streak already (doesn't matter if it is a win or not) then that should mean that the match is already running longer and there may be no changes anymore that will occur.

We may indeed have more chances of winning during the switch because the current player or coach may be tired already. It is still possible for a wining streak to continue because the existing players or coaches are performing well compared to those that are sitting/reserve. As for the team that are experiencing a losing streak, they may only need a miracle to perform well.

I think everything depends on the situation, and it would be better to choose betting on the dominant team in the League to win rather than betting on the mediocre team to lose. For example, if we consistently bet on Bayern Munchen to win every game in the Bundesliga, we will find that Bayern Munchen is far more likely to win throughout the season. I agree that betting on a team experiencing a bad streak of consecutive losses is much riskier, as they will continue to struggle to create an upset in every match. But despite all that, the choice is up to each individual, because everyone certainly has their own strategy, and clearly our goal in betting is to win.

Well, I consider this strategy nothing but fallacy, daydreaming or whatever we might choose to individually call it, out comes in gambling or sports betting is absolutely unpredictable and it's kind of impossible to tell when or how many times we might get to lose while betting on the team going through a losing streak before the finally win, there is every chance that before they end up winning, we might have lost a couple bets and money on them that by the time they end up winning, the profit we made from the win won't even cover the amount of money we have lost on previous bets we lost to the losing streak..

My general opinion would be that gamblers bet on a team they think would win a match, not necessarily on a team that's been on a long losing streak because they think such a team will be doing all they can to win, there is no guarantee that such a team won't continue on their losing streak, and you will need to be lucky to bet on such a team end up winning on that very bet without first losing a couple of times.

That’s just it. Even in football, past performances may not always guarantee future results. The mistake that most gamblers often make is thinking or believing that just because a team has been losing previously, that they’ll magically make a come back and start winning. Yes it actually happens sometimes but there’s. I guarantee of this so even if you’re using that to make your predictions, there’s still need to approach with extreme caution.

If it's just about prediction, it's easy to do that to be honest. With some few stats or data from both playing teams, we can definitely have a conclusion on which team is going to win. But finding out the result will have no exact data not until we see the end of the game. And I agree that we should expect that anything can happen, small or big teams can always make some magic during the crucial games. With these teams that are in a losing streak, I think it can be determined whether it's worth it to check on them whey have came from losses because if they're playing with do or die matches maybe that will motivate them and change how they play.

That's a bad idea for me, because these teams can still be on a losing streak. One without a staking power can not risk losing money continuously with an expected outcome.

Not everyone has the patience to hold on before the big break because one would have lost a lot and maybe give up before the big break.

I think betting on possible odds is best assured than risking for impossible outcomes.

Imagine Manchester United starting to perform better this time around, no one had the hope both fans rather they choose other teams against United so it’s very rare supporting a losing team more than twice not minding the hope or encouragement definitely you have to choose other teams doing more better for the sake to win. Betting on teams in losing streak consistently is not a smart move rather you will not get the expected win desired instead waiting for lucky day, like I mentioned Manchester United. I believe 5% supported the team when they experienced ups and downs then after a good performance you’ll notice a lot of people started betting on the team, that’s how gambling works generally except the team is your favorite else I find no reason betting on losing streak.

How would that be a good angle to bet on when a team is on a losing streak? let me just emphasize in three teams in the premier league namely Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Liverpool. These teams have been on losing streak in their last 6 games because out of their last six games, each of them has lost 4 matches each so imagine if you where placing a single bet on each of them, ain't you gonna be at the losing end? it is better that you bet on teams that are on a winning streak and it fails than betting on a team that is on a losing streak and be hoping for a miracle to happen so that they can end their losing streak and start winning. On the contrary, i have even followed up a team that was always winning their matches but i was betting against them to lose since their opponents are being given high odds but i didn't succeed because they kept winning their matches so it's still almost same thing for a team that is on a losing streak, they will only manage to win few matches which you can't even recover your losses.

There is no connection between defeat or victory that increases the chances of winning, it depends on the opponent in the match, choosing a club with superior performance clearly increases the chances of winning even if the club experiences consecutive defeats, I just think being the host will improve the mentality of the players

Personally, I think it's a bad idea, because the chances of actually getting a win are too low. In football, a team that keeps losing can continue to have bad days, even if they have squad depth, a strong reputation and a big name. Besides, if that idea really worked, we would see many mediocre clubs frequently pulling off surprise wins, but in reality that doesn’t happen.

In this case, Liverpool is a very relevant example, as they once suffered three consecutive defeats, and overall they only managed to win two of their last eight matches. If you had followed that idea, you would have only won two bets while losing the rest. So it’s better to bet as usual by choose a team that is in top form and performing consistently.

The question is, have you tried it yourself? I wouldn't even try that. For all we know, they could go on the season without a win, and you've lost a lot of money by then, not really a good idea, it's still better to check the odds of the team and how they perform.
It's better to bet on a team on a winning streak, even if the earnings aren't that high; at least it will boost your confidence. Sports events involve checking and betting on the strong team, not the losing team.

If you bet on such scenario the gambler might end up losing, because if a team lose three times of their matches, the next team team that will be next to play them might be more structured than them, and they will surely defeat them, except that team that lost three times of their matches found out their loopholes and correct it in time with strong players

Using same method to play the next team can't give them the hedge to win, for a team to win a match they most have a strong striker and strong defensive and good goalkeeper, but a process whereby their's a weak defensive or goalkeeper they most record more losing

So in nutshell, op we can’t this kind of analysis to make our prediction, it may work or it may not work, for a team to win a match is based on the strength of teams not by total numbers of losses recorded for the team.

I remembered the foot Liverpool started the league, this guys were at the top and I thought they still has the ignition and momentum, everything was going fine not until they start losing. I do have faith in them in some weeks that they were going to bounce back but it never end like that, in fact the loss keeps coming straight up for 5 games, they were able to do something in this last match they play to score 3 goals but it hasn't convinced me enough to pick them in the next games.

The pattern OP describe is very bad one, it's not a strategy but rather a gambler that doesn't have skill to tell whether they can predict a game or not. Tbe number one foscu of a gambler is to be able to make good predictions all the time, it's not make prediction that you are going to lose, all those trials he said you never can tell exactly when you will make them back. Some may not be possible and that makes casino ahead of you.

This is a little contradictory for me but it is undeniable that this condition can always happen especially when the club is the favorite.

For example in soccer for some big clubs, even though we know that their conditions are not very good we sometimes always force the will in this case.
I have bet on Liverpool a few times this week even though I know the results are clearly not too good to continue to force the will but there is always more encouragement to keep betting even though the possibility of winning it turns out to be very thin.

Sometimes the judgment we make in terms of statistics and on field performance gets a little distracted by the objectivity that always seems to have a good thing going for it and that's something I'm still struggling to shake off at the moment.

The issue is that a very strong team costs you a lot of money for lower odds because you won't ever get a good price. Liverpool lost four games in a row, if you bet a good amount on game 2, 3 and 4, I guess it could have cost you more than you would make with a bet on Liverpool winning game 5 in that streak. Aston Villa was on a six games winning streak and Liverpool on a four games losing stream, the odds for Liverpool were 1.7. It's ok and taking the risk is fine, but you never know how long a streak could become.

West Ham against Newcastle, the last game West Ham won was end of August. Now the odds for West Ham beating Newcastle were only 5.2. Does that really pay off taking the risk to bet on West Ham beating Newcastle?

Surely betting on teams in a losing streak is actually a bad move because you don't know how long the losing streak would last, what is the ensence of betting on losing team when there's thousands of teams out there that is more likely to be in a wining streak? Though some gamblers wouldn't mind betting on teams irrespective of thier record but that's not a good idea at all.

I know that sometimes not betting on our favorite team seems that there is something missing but I wouldn't mind doing it, is More like giving them some space to recover.

An interesting idea but if we look at this strategy deeply, would it be a high risk bet since this team is known of not performing well, the reason for their losses?


I think it depends, if the team with a losing streak does not implement any changes to its strategy, team work-out and team line-up, I do not think they will bring something new.  So it is better to observe the team first and its development after all those series of losses.  If we have seen improvement, then it is not bad to try your strategy. After all, a team that has a losing streak record will yield a higher payout because they are labeled the underdog.

The real money can be made on the odds because when there's a losing streak people are reluctant to bet on that team. It's a bit like when bitcoin is in a long bearish run and nobody wants to buy it, even though the price is clearly very low and the coin is oversold. The odds for that team will be worse than they should be judging by their total performance from the last few years, just because they lost 3 times in a row and if you can catch a bet like that it's possible to make some money with little risk.

I don't know much about football, but playing at home usually gives the players a certain advantage and more comfort, and that can help when making a prediction. So, instead of betting on a team that's on a losing streak, from what I understand, it would be better to bet on a team that's playing at home.

I think there’s a chance that this strategy could work if it’s based on the handicap. Eventually, when a team keeps losing, the handicap will increase and that’s where the value starts to appear.

Think about it, these teams are desperate to win. They’re paid millions, and constant losing hurts not just their reputation but also the business side, since fans start to lose interest. So sometimes, I feel like the refs might subtly help struggling teams get a win, especially in games where they’re least expected to that’s usually when the surprises happen.

Not always that is the case, as most teams tend to even lose in their homes. If we talk about advantage, at home is always the perfect advantage for that has their always the fans support behind them, with that spirit they will raise in the stadium, those chant definitely brings motivation to the players for them to perform better, playing at home some times I s a good example to gamble with, if only the team you support are playing better even at away. When such team is playing better even at away, then they have that high chance to perform very well at home. These teams can win you a bet if you trust the home advantage and that is just it.

to be honest betting on a team just because they are due for a win can be really risky!! a losing streak does not automatically mean they will magically bounce back soon. sometimes the team is struggling for deeper reasons such as  injuries, poor morale, bad management and so on. it is better to study the situation properly before placing a bet instead of just assuming they must win this time!! the smart move is to reduce risk not chase blind luck

You are quite right when you mention that it is dangerous to make all your bets on the faith of a team that they will win. In sports, all the results are dictated by numerous factors that cannot be seen at first sight. A team may not lose due to its weaknesses but due to internal conflicts that may affect performance of that team. A closer look into these factors gives more realistic view of making a decision. Putting the mind ahead of the heart will ensure that assumptions do not make betting animals and encourage gambling on what is likely to lose in the long run.

I  highly agree that this kind of move is something similar to a fallacy where, due to the series of losing streaks,s the next role should be a win.  And we all know that this kind of belief often leads to bigger losses.

We must assess the situation first, checking the advantages and disadvantages for both teams.  We should not change our strategy of analyzing data with the fallacy  "due to win"  Sports betting is not dictated by a random number generator and is affected by the performance of the team.  So it is not logical to bet on a losing team just because their win is long overdue.

Yeah I think a lot of people confuse that this happening sometimes means that it does work, but it means the opposite. It does not work. Outliers always happen. In theory you can also win big with martingale until you don't anymore and you lose even more than you gained. With many matches happening everywhere across many types of sport all kinds of things are going to happen sometimes. That is the expected behavior. A pattern such as conclusive turnaround after a fixed number of losses is not possible.

Yeah it happened. If you bet on this congratulations, but this does not tell us anything. For us to be able to say anything about this you would have to analyze as many losing streaks by teams as possible and to see if there is any real statistical support for the claim. I doubt that nobody has tried this before, and if it is not being used that means that it does not work.

While a winning team is a winning team,and you will always be proud to bet on the team ,while in the aspects of the team that always loss to be sincere you will always be scared to place the casino betting on the behalf to win ,this is actually money that we are talking about and secondly,you can not predict game finish ,maybe 10 games and you actually predict those games for you to win and you see a team that has been losing to be sincere can you add the team in you win booked ticket? of course no, nobody does that ,but it also depends on individual differences .

That would be a mistake for me. Playing at home might increase the probability of a club because they seem to have another force with their miltan supporters backing them up and putting pressure on the opposition but to say that playing at home is a gamble is wrong because we still have to go by the stats, how they're performing and the h2h might also be a bit useful.
Playing home will not be too helpful if their mentality is very bad or when there is a small club playing against a big club because it is likely that they will still lose even at home.

There is no such concept at least in my mind because I know as long as we are in official competitions especially in big competitions then the match will be carried out with a fair system in the sense that the referee does not favor any club.

For smaller competitions and many infiltrated maybe this can still happen but for big competitions such as the big 5 European competitions or the 3 big competitions (Champions League, Europa League and Conference League) then there is no such thing as a referee helping a club.

we can't use such Factor to know a team that is going to win because they performance of a team is what make them to win in football, so winning of anything is best on the performance, so using how many times they lose to make a bet and bet against a team that is performing well because of some people have lost in their previous matches and you decide to bet against them that the team that have not lost with a lose, I think that kind of strategies will put us into trouble and there's so many people will lose if time is not taken so I believe that if you want to take your bet make sure that you analyze where and also make sure that you consider the players and their performance before you make your bet

Take Liverpool for example, if someone had bet on them after experiencing their two loses thinking they’ll do better in their next game, that bettor would have lost two more bets before finally winning and I’m sure that the next win won’t give them enough money to cover for their previous losses like you said.

So just like you, I’m still against the opinion of betting on a losing team because of the idea of them putting more efforts in their next game, for some teams this might work, but there are teams that will still lose despite experiencing multiple losses.

Or take the opposite example: Bayern Munich. They've won 16 games in a row, meaning anyone who bet on their opponents Double Chance is already so far down that they're unlikely to recover.
In general, I use the idea of ​​betting on the streak ending (no series can go on forever), but many examples show that this is a dangerous idea and you need to be prepared for the fact that it will not work.

This cam go both ways, it can be a good idea and it can also end badly. When a team is in a losing streak there is a chance that they might end up winning their next game or even losing. Before you make your selection there are somethings that you must put into consideration, the team they are playing against and also the line up of both teams, because sure to check all these informations first before placing your bet

Anything can probably possible because football is unpredictable and if a team is losing back to back they can probably come back to there best form and start wining but not all the team you can trust and play them win if they amaze alot of losing in there matches. But when a big team is losing frequently he can possible that they win come back strong and starting wining all there matches in the competition. Betting of teams that is losing streak can be a smart move and still be a bad idea both are risk and you should no that gambling is all about risk and luck ad if you didn't take risk you will not get what you need sometimes. They get some teams that will be losing and you will still trust the team and continue playing them win because they are good clubs.

Well, personally I have a very clear example that adapts and the result that MU has shown in the PL, many didn't give half a dollar for the team, they were in a very bad streak, but when they started beating teams like Liverpool, from then on they went from a losing or very losing streak to a winning one.

I think manchester united issues is a little bit different because I'm sure that they didn't incur loss for 3 straight times if I'm to guess correctly i think they only lost 2 in a row and not more than that. And truly the reference you gave is also a good one because I could imagine how terrible thier performance was back then, and to tell someone to bet them even if the person happens to be thier fan I'm sure that he wouldn't dare, because thier performance made people not to be having confident in them. The perfect example is wolves, yeah wolves only won 1 time in all matches so far I guess, and that was against brighton but ever since then they have been having hard time in wining. thier performance is not impressive at all, so Haven know this did you mean one will still go ahead to bet them?

I also do the same. There is no benefit if tge team got draw whike i gave taken pkace for win . I only care strong team and the possibility of being a winner. Even i do not care the odds on the beginning. But if i place bet after few minutes i check few factors and take action basr on thoze factors.

The momentum of Manchester United after consecutive loses has proved the significance of momentum. Winning such team as Liverpool can bring up confidence and morale sky high. Occasionally, lowerly positioned teams may even be unstoppable in as far as they can find the appropriate strategy. Though it might not look like a possibility at first, a massive win will be able to turn things around quickly.

It's a very good analysis and I like your comparison too, it fits perfectly. In the case of football , things are changing now. We see that a very good team can lose against the last one that is about to fall to the second division, and that has happened So, things in football now, to make bets you have to be very careful.

I wish gambling is this easy but I promised you, if you go down this route, you will lose money that in the next 5 years you wouldn't be able to recover from the loss. Any strategy you think of winning has its flaws, there is an advantage and disadvantages to every strategy you can think of. The team you expect to bounce after having a consistent loss can still lose their next game even if they are having a match with a team that is less having hard time in the season.

A team can suffer bad season and be doing well, you can bet on them to have good time, after sometime they can have bad time and they go back to loss again. I know you may want to test this your theory on them but you will be surprised that the team is going to lose again. They can even win and you may think they are going to lose, that's the fun thing about gambling and betting. Yesterday, I bet on Nigerian team to win yesterday match against Gabon, anyone would think Nigeria would loss but magically they turn things around in the end.

There is nothing sure about this, betting on a team to win just because they are on a losing streak, they is a possibility that they might end up losing because they are in a bad form. It could be a smart move and at the same time a bad idea, even if you feel like there's a chance they might win the next game the risks are still very high. Using such a strategy isn't advisable, there's no way you can trust a team that losses consistently. Football doesn't always go the way we predict sometimes, there's a high level of uncertainty in this strategy.

Betting on teams in a losing streak can offer value only if the odds drift too far from their true level. Sometimes bookmakers over-adjust after several losses, but the key is checking whether the team’s underlying performance actually changed. I usually avoid backing streaks blindly and look at injuries, xG trends, and schedule difficulty first.

We have seen cases where an underdog will beat a favorite to win and when something like that happens it gives some bettors hope that anything can happen before the final whistle. A team that is not badly rated but have been on a losing streak, you know that they are just unlucky so far can be bet on to win believing that they will soon get a breakthrough. Bettors mostly bet on the favorite to win but it doesn't happen everytime so you can bet against the odds of a favorite winning, if it happens you win your bet. If we know which team will win in a match it won't be gambling that is why you stake your money for unknown outcomes.

Yes. Teams that are broken due to a losing streak tend to fight harder to get a win. Plus, they are more relaxed, unlike the other team which is overconfident that they will win just because they saw the record of their opponent.
Many times it happens. Those who think they will win just because they are expecting the other team to lose due to their bad track record result in the super underdog winning the game.

There was once a time when I won a very high multiplier thanks to the super underdog team that won that game. It's an ML of above 10+ if I remember it correctly and it was just a wild bet for me. It won and I am thankful.

It's actually a good idea but it's not always as easy as you think it is. We always have plans or strategies that seem overly accurate in our head but when you expect too much from it you end up getting disappointed. Teams that have been on a losing streak can either keep on losing or end up winning, the outcome isn't really predictable but with the help of certain informations provided on stats it's possible to have a clue.

For me, Manchester United has become the most resilient team in the entire Premier League. Of course, there's also Manchester City, who are a very good team, and Arsenal, who are leading the league, which isn't bad at all. But you have to see that the best example for this topic is Manchester United. They fit the bill perfectly. If I bet on Manchester United, I'd win a lot of money.
