Yeah its a lot of herd mentality approach too, but ultimately this is useless and misleading. I was talking about odds.
Yeah this is very similar to following a tipster and betting on a match which we have no idea about .
This is like technical analysis vs fundamental analysis. I think technical analysis is useless most of the time, but sometimes due the herd mentality, it can become a self fulfilling propecy. Maybe if the players look at the odds they get influenced by it but I doubt it since they are top profesionals with strong minds, so I think it's better to look at the fundamentals and forget what other people are betting, so bet on the players and their performance and health status and not bet because the majority is betting a or b.
This was exactly what I was referring to . Usually the bigger odds makes people scary and they believe that the lesser odds player will win the match whereas actually the odds are less because 900 people out of 1000 think ( Assume , predict ) player "A" to win , so going with our own guts will surely help .
