Ofcourse less than 2.00 have chance to winning probability more, but you can't win like this more or less.  1.01 has winning chances more but in long term you will be bankrupt by backing 1.01. If you want to win long term, you have to find edge in the market and knowledge of the game and players. Odds is just number.

If you have good knowledge of games, teams and players, you can easily find edge in the game. But if you just back odds without knowledge of sports. God will save you because you will going to ruin your bank.

I think I would prefer the over 2.00, I just notice that when I pick the odds 2.00 and over, my bankroll does not easily wipe out, LOL.. I still loss but at least I can still enjoy more playing time in sports. It's really not necessary to have as many bets as you like, if we are talking of long term, then we should find a good value among lots of games offered in a daily basis, and you can just bet one game per day.

so true man, 100% agree. i do sportsbetting most of the time just for fun without deeper knowledge of the teams which i bet for or against... i had better experience by betting when the ods are more than 2... i have lost often when the ods are quiet low for a team

For me, there's no less or over odd formula to win in sports betting. Ain't much have experienced yet and I bet once but so far I had noticed that less betting on the lowest odds your winning payouts are very small and provably had less chances of winning. Because I believed that all odds have a house edge, as computed by the bookmakers.

OP, the aim here is to make a profit?
Just give a try in betting singles at odds above 2.0 (1/1). Then, if you make 2 bets at those odds and 1 of them wins you will make a small yet steady profit.

As a gambler you should have managed your betting sequences, and that's good to know you've enjoyed playing but not into extreme spending. Even though you bet more entries, still not guaranteed winnings for the long run. Knowing the sports betting you've playing with is most important to incorporate with your betting analysis, at least the chances will be positive.

They are inversely proportional, meaning if you bet on odds higher than 2.0, the probability of winning is low while if you bet on odds less than 2.0 it is the opposite. It would be helpful if you know the game that you are betting and you have the reason on why you bet on such odds. Putting 2 bets above 2.0 is very, very risky. You will end up broke if you don't do analysis on your bet.


@OP, i usually bet below 2.0, more successful with it but of course you have to be knowledgeable of the game also and focus on that. Don't bet on sports you don't know well.

[boyptc]

Under 2.0 will make you safe but it doesn't guarantee that you will still win with your bets.

[Cacingkemi]

Option (B) but sometimes I choose (A) depending on the team and how the previous game developed and situation in which the match took place, I'm not just focus on opportunities dude. Well BTW sometimes I often looking for uniqueness when the match takes place and surely I choose (A) to take risks and sometimes succeed ,don't play fire.
My experience Odds less than 2.0 won't always win dude benefits are obtained when you have good experience and knowledge.

[Kasabus]

Under 2.0 will make you safe but it doesn't guarantee that you will still win with your bets.

I don't consider it safe, betting under 2.0 could still be risky because lines sometimes are just trap for gamblers to bet on it.
Gamblers mentality is when the line is below 2.0, most likely the team would win, but IMO it's not like that, odds makers are just reading people's mind and there's a saying that we should always bet against the public to have better chances of winning.

Also, to be a long term winner betting on the odds below 2.00, you should win more than 50% to ensure profit, provide you are discipline with your bankroll management principle.

My definition with that kind of odd is that the crowd knows who has higher chance of winning. Though you are right that it could be a trap but it's up to you whether you'll risk or not, it's a gamble though.

For someone who doesn't gamble oftenly, he can refer to it. The amount of profit depends on your plan and on how long you're going to stay but if it's just the odds alone, for me it's my safety net.

[Pmalek]

It depends what your preferences are.
Do you prefer to wager smaller amounts on bigger odds or bigger amounts on smaller odds?

The probability to win decreases as the odds increase, this is not always the case but it usually is.
If you bet on a match where the odds are 1.10 you need to wager a bigger amount to get any value from your bet. In this case a $100 bet at 1.10 only gets you a $10 profit. It is not really worth the risk in my opinion.

But if the odds are 2.00 for example, a $10 investment will earn you the same $10 profit.

I prefer chasing higher odds especially in live betting when I can see what is going on and it is easier to predict what might happen.

This style is good, I'm also a fan of live betting, I usually bet on a team with a high odds especially if I see that they have a chance of winning.
I think in live betting, gamblers who knows the game really well has a better chance of winning since the odds are already synchronize with the system they put in place, it's the system that is giving the odds and they don't see injuries during the game and if we found that it gives us value.

Going back days where DirectBet.eu are still actively running. I remember using live betting to them in every BasketBall games, which gives me more good odds when the team that i’ll choose have low score in the first half and suddenly the odds will favor to them. Love the style to bet lively, where yeah, we can see the match and how both teams play.

[Lucius]

I try with odds which are higher then 2, and accumulate max 3 of them on one ticket with lower stake which is always 10% of my bank. So if I bet on total odd around 10 with for example $100, possible win is $1000 and I have 10 chances to win with this system. If you fail to win at least two times in such way of betting, they you should stop to bet on sports.

I also try with low odds, from 1.25 to 1.50, but mostly by playing double chance (1x -x2), or that team will only score on game. Of course when you play with such low odds stake need to be bigger, but if you pick good games and place max 3 events on ticket chances for win are pretty good.

[mitchr4]

I will go for less than 2.00 risky if take more than that the chances of winning will be difficult. Prefer 1.5 and above always make parlay bet with that odds with 3 matches or more with a total odds more than 2.

[klaaas]

Indeed.

I tend to go for the higher odds on more unusual bets, lets say who will score in the first 10 min of the game. Those most of the time get a bit better rewarded.

[AjithBtc]

Always the lower than 2.0 odds get you winning in higher percentage than that of the above 2.0 odds. Whenever I prefer to go on live betting I prefer to go for above 2.0 odds based on the match situation. At some matches from the beginning there won't be any further change in the odds based on the team involved. In those lower odds were the pick.

I hope op will now agree that less than 2:0 odd is better than above. However, what make you to succeed much in sport betting is luck and that doesn't mean we should not reduce our risk as bearable as possible.

[tokeweed]

It doesn't really make a huge difference...  The lines given by the bookies are usually very efficient.  The difference between different sports betting sites is the vig their taking from the bets.  The higher the vig, the worse the odds.
