Definitely think twice before taking loan, there is no 100% fixed match and you can lose more than what you can afford to lose. What if, you take a loan and placed sports bet then it loses? Well, you have to pay back whatever amount you borrowed and it will be stressful day unless you are able to pay back soon. Just my 2 cents.
Exactly. Ask for a loan it is never a good idea. Banks are not stupid and you should put your home or something with high value as collateral, and you can risk to lose it for a match that you're also sure that is not fixed at 100%.
Even this could not be about if a match is fixed or not, going for loan to bet is stupidity. It is just a sign of addiction.
So, consider what are you doing, and think about. Less gains sometimes means also more safety.
I do not believe in less gain if going for low odds is what you mean, it is even dangerous at time and there are different strategies used for different matches. I have gone for low odds all to know that it is riskier than high odds because the profit made is less and before you will make the profit for high odd, the money could have been lost.
