Sportsbetting odds, which do you prefer?

[MonsterV]

Therefore I'd like to get some of your opinion based on your experience, which is odds listed below gives you a better chance of winning?

a) over 2.00 or b) less than 2.00

Odds of over 2.00 means that team or player is the underdog or have low chances of winning. If you're lucky you will win double from your betting amount but that doesn't happen always. I would still prefer less than 2.00, they already proved their capability to win reason many people bet on them.

Less than 2.00 does not win all the time either, odds is not a measure of winning, if that is, we can bet blindly but still win, things like that doesn't happen in sports betting, I never come across a gambler who's been winning using the under 2.00 odds only.

The thing is, posters here just give their opinion but don't really experience the success betting on odds under 2.00.

Actually, if you talk about opportunities, it's relative, maybe you speak less than 2.00 better, and other people talk otherwise. In my own opinion, both are equally good, it's just how we can perfect both of them into better opportunities so that we get the maximum victory. Gambling is a matter of strategy and not luck, if the strategy is good then you are lucky but if you are lucky the strategy is not necessarily good.

But the chance of win will certainly be much smaller right? the greater the risk the greater the odds. if you are not prepared for defeat then it is better to use a strong team with small odds its more better, the important thing is the chance of win is more bigger, that's the principle of my gambling

But smaller odds usually also mean bigger wagers to make some decent profit. And bigger wagers mean the possibility to lose more money if the bet doesn't go the way you planned. There is no bulletproof strategy unfortunately.

i made a bets with odds more than 2.00 because i made a multiple bet (parlay) so the odds is bigger but the lose risk is high to. with this multiple bet i can win much bigger.
and if i made a single bet i usually take odds under 2.00 it's probably easy win.

Just normal for you to make those big bets in order for you to feel the profits if you do win that round but well same as you said.
You would potentially lose even more than on you do earn so its still imbalance if you ten to follow up with this kind of betting strategy thats
why some people do risk with small bets into those big multipliers.

I would like to hear some of your comments based on your experience here.

Sports betting is one of the favorite games in gambling and I always wanted to experience a long term winning.

Therefore I'd like to get some of your opinion based on your experience, which is odds listed below gives you a better chance of winning?

a) over 2.00 or b) less than 2.00

I usually like to bet for over 2.00 odds. This allow me to lose 2 and win 1 so I am still profitable.
Also it is more interesting to bet in such games as they have more suspense and they are more entertaining. However, it is apparently more risky to lose your money with that tactic.

[Sharon121212]

It's plane enough and self explanatory, the one with higher odd is risky and the one with the lesser odd is less risky but in sport betting it might to be dependent on the odds on how the games to go. So what I do I prefer higher odds to lower odds it's sure my winnings would be larger this way but also I would need less games than when am sticking to lower odds

Normal to think off that higher odds to corresponds with higher risk and these kind of bets will just depend on how you do see it.
This do test out your analysis with sports betting because there are some instances that even the favorite ones being beaten out by underdogs.
Odds on example isnt really that on big gap which this one do give me a hard time to choose on.

Actually if a sportsbook would offer 2.00 in every side, we would have no problem as don't loss any from juice, but sportsbook are operating for a profit, that juice is the lifeblood of the business so odds are not what we like to see.

We analyze the odds carefully and choose which we think would win, we can win choosing a lower odds but in the long run we will feel that we are still down if we are not consistent. A gambler only betting and odds of 1.90 every time, has to win more at least 56% of his total bets in order to be profitable in the long run, and I believe it's not easy to achieve that, unless you have the skills in sports.

Sure, better chances of winning would be for b, but since I like to do martingale I go with odds above 2.00, for simplicity's sake.

Worst strategy martingale and even it's far worst with higher odds, you won't ever going to win good because sometime your losing streak will be too big to manage.
I just suggest you to avoid martingale and better start gaining knowledge about sports/team/players you bet.

I agree that martingale is a bad strategy but I can't conclude and judge that it's not a working strategy.
Sports betting is no different in dice or any games with house edge, so martingale could also work here but I don't want to use it as my strategy.
We got to stay focus and consider sports betting a long term gambling and flat betting is way better, not exciting if you don't have a decent bankroll, but if you do, for sure you will love it as that will make you last.

Martingale strategy is not bad for those who understand it perfectly and its better for professional gamblers. This is the reason we see gamblers that write so many positivity about the strategy and those whom it has disappointed would be wondering if it’s the same strategy that failed them.

I don’t even believe in using strategies to play my games and it’s the more reason I stay away from games that require too much strategies. Gambling is for fun and I personally feel strategies should not be thought off when considering gambling so as to have maximum pleasure in the game but for gamblers that hold strategies in gambling on very high esteem, I believe they would choose martingale all over because it’s a proven winning strategy for experts.

It's hard to assess but if you have good knowledge regarding to the games and you are familiar with how teams or players from that venue
played you will see the ideas from how will you place your bets, skills on selecting sports to follow and take your knowledge as your advantage
each time you are placing your bets

I prefer whatever wins, I don’t really care about the odds but obviously less than 2.00 has a higher chance of winning regularly. I like to analyse what the odds are for though.

Yea the analysis is important because the OP mentioned categorically that comments should be dropped based on personal experience. I am sure there would be many on the comment section to read and learn, so this isn’t really about whatever wins, but what you have tried. I hope I made a point lol.

Back to the op, From my personal experience, the best remains less than 2.0, this does the magic most at times, maybe because I feel safer playing but frankly either over or less than is truly not necessary because at the end, we will discover there’s no single odd without a house edge, this has been designed already by bookmarker. So it’s better to focus on the game.

You don't gain anything by using other peoples' predictions in anything, whether it's in trading or gambling or anything else you might be doing. If you want to improve at something, in this case betting, try predicting by yourself and doing analysis yourself and put small bets initially. If you at least put time into something, you're going to improve at doing it. The only person you should be depending on for anything where your money's being risked is yourself.

[STT]

This question is all relative and I'm game for the bet either way so long as its possible to be placing a live bet then any odds almost can be worth a try.   That is the scary thing but often you can tell before game end which way will win and why.    The best is when nobody knows but you have some greater understanding to give better value on the bet odds then others perceive.

That's how a smart gamblers reacts, he finds games and odds that he thinks he has the advantage, it doesn't mean an instant win but having a chance of winning in every bet you will make, that is a recipe for success. Every game has odds but not every game you can find value, so limiting your bet on games that you like and you see value is necessary and everyone has to have a discipline to do that successfully.

You are right! Theres no other people that can be trusted up when it comes to analysis but only yourself and i would much prefer on losing up my own money with my own analysis rather than on following someones path which it can give out depression or regrets in the end.You wouldn't gain something like experience or analyzing your mistake since you are just following someones bet.

About on the question i will prefer on betting lower 2x bet yet it do have high chance of winning but it cant happen anytime.

Odds are playing huge role in sports betting field. But there are some different gamblers who always learn the players potential while they are picking for the odds at the time. Usual gamblers who doesn't know the game along maximum comes to bet on that so they are taking time to invest on the basis on odds. At the time of choosing odds please be careful always.

Good gamblers know what is good for them and what is wrong. I know in gambling we only should choose the things we are good at. If you consider the odds as beneficial it also takes to be experienced. As you said not every game is good we can get profit in those game which are well known and are good for making money.

Well, this is sports gambling and there's a lot of games in different sports in a daily basis, but when our mission is winning consistently, we should not bet all of the games available, we should only choose the game that we have the knowledge and we believe we have the skills in capping the games,  it does not need quantity here, it needs quality in betting games and that if done strictly, it would make gamblers profitable regardless of the odds.
