How many times have you gone against majority

[Sharon121212]

Sport betting is strange when it wants to be, it never a sure fact the impossibility can turn possible.
When booking a bet many bets on what the majority had placed before hand.
What am I saying betting site releases games for betting and gives an option where you see what others has selected and very often it's the one with the lower odd that  people place bet on.

Last week Saturday was a Turing point for me as I refused to bet with majority(31-8-2019) and placed a draw on the match between osasuna and FC Barcelona. Most people would see it as an unwise decision but that's soccer the foolish thing can turn out to be wise.

Countless times. One occasion I remember is placing a bet of 20/1 odd, won it which I never thought LOL

In gambling you can only tell a pick is wise of fool after the result of your bet. A sure win type market with an odd even with 1.01 can go wrong and opponent can win from there.

Sports betting is not my thing anymore,but I can tell you that it's pretty natural for the majority of the people to choose the safest bets.It's pretty normal.Everyone wants to get some easy profits with low risks.The big profits come with a higher risk of losing and only a minority of gamblers have the balls to bet on it.
In sports betting,you don't bet against the majority,you just bet on what you think will happen and you stick to your bet.That's how I view sports betting.

Well i have done it so many times in sports betting. the highest i've won is 10/1 i didn't expectedly the team managed to won against that strong opponent of theirs. This what i like in sports betting you can rely on your team based on statistics but not all the time that team is strong based on wins and stats they can lose too since they are all humans not bots that can decide if the bet is a win or lose.

The word sportbetting or gambling (if not fixed or pre-planned) has to a percentage  thrown the word safety out of the window. That's why I play with out putting in most of my human emotions I rather go with my deep decision.
No bet is safe yes no one we all play in anticipation to win so my prediction should have nothing to do with the random next guy's own

[Janation]

I did this but not money.

I am addicted to online games at that time, specifically Dota2 and some RPG I can't remember. DotaLounge became a hit and one day, Dendi, a popular Dota2 player was on the headline going against the odds betting expensive hooks and lost, now I don't know if that is true but I followed him and I won. The difference is that I won and my item I bet is not that expensive but that is great since I got my first Legendary Item.

Since I'm not familiar with how betting is done in football, are you talking about those winning bets on an underdog team with higher odds?

If that is, already experienced that lots of times. In basketball, upsets always happened so I like the idea of placing bets for underdogs. But I'm not that type of bettor who will just pick for a high odds. At least, I must see something to that underdog team that their chances is high in beating team.

[rdluffy]

I remember the last time I did this, but I have to say it was just a feeling, not any technical analysis
Soccer World Cup, 2018, Russia
Brazil vs Belgium

Everyone in my country were betting on Brazil, easily they said, but I had a feeling, and bet some money against, and I won a good money

But I don't do this a lot of times, I follow my own analysis and more in a technical view

[FlightyPouch]

Did this a lot of times. Simce I am already risking my money in gambling, why not just take it to these level, at least I lose or not I am having fun and that is important. Did this on a Basketball game first, can't remember the specific teams, all I know is that I am drunk and I lost. I am suffering a hang over and regret the next morning.

Many times. In a lot of smaller events that have limited betting, it's easier to look at something and think "They are not seeing 'x'" I'm going the other way.
Usually, because the book does not put in the time & effort to get it closer to what it should be, because there is not enough money in it to bother. They make their vig either way. So they are not loosing, just not making as much. (So long as enough bets are coming in for the other side)

In larger events like, boxing, football, tennis etc. Not as much, because the odds are usually accurate.

There's still something like upset, it's ok to go against the majority and some gamblers are doing this because this is gambling and anything can happen, we have seen people winning big doing this thing, one example is the Ruiz - Joshua match, there are a lot of winners including his family who win $10000 for every $1000 bet

On the Jimmy Kimmel Live show Tuesday, Ruiz Jr. said: "My dad, my brother, my mom … all of them almost made $10,000 off of me. They made $10,000, yup."

I have always planned to do that in some UFC and boxing fights where an underdog that I like has a good chance in my opinion to win. Thinking of the odds, I can really think of the quantity of ETH I can have with so little to bet. Unfortunately I haven't won any of it.  Most of the time, the underdog loses.

[YuginKadoya]

I have done a couple of times but it doesn't end up great for me, Well I guess it will be on a different story for other people and base on my luck it really sucks, but I guess it really doesn't go that well luck surely take random turns maybe it is not just for me when I play out the side of majority, That is why when taking a bet I would always pick the sure fight, But there are surely some time that the majority may lose I am not just good at picking the right stuff, well that is just how gambling for me.

I mostly bet between x1.5 and x2.5 and consider anything above x3 a risky bet. I took that risk a few times mostly because it was my favorite team/player or it's my own home nation playing. Impressively, I have won a couple of them. One was a x11 while another was a x5. And on total I'm slightly in loss with that plain strategy.

Well... For games that have an obvious final result, often have twists in between the game plays. I place bets on cricket sometimes. Let's say if there is a match between a very good team vs a not so good team, the final result is always obvious but in between the game, lots of twists are bound to happen intentionally or unintentionally. Like, a very good batsman may get out in the very first ball. So, in those obvious games, I normally go against the majority when it comes to choosing to place bets on parts between the game.

Many times, just recently, playing in a baccarat table, every one is betting on "banker" but I go against the crowd because I don't rely on patterns. I bet every last of my chips on "player" and won get out of the table smiling. I also had one in boxing lately, it was a p2p betting, sort of friendly bet but since they don't like the underdog, I took the bet with them and win big. Sometimes it's that one instinct of yours and you have to go with it.

[hahay]

Very rarely because I'm not brave enough to fight the majority. Indeed, sometimes the underdogs will have luck with big wins from bets, but when I plan to fight a very strong majority it will be a fear to fight it so it's not good enough for me in the game.

[pixie85]

I do it very often when there's a chance to win big with a very small bet. It's something normal for people to bet on a lottery ticket when their chances of winning are 0.1% or less so why wouldn't it be worth it to place a bet on an underdog. We all know your chance of winning at sports bets are always much greater than in lottery. Sometimes an underdog is someone they are giving 30% chance. Bets like that pay good and give a lot of satisfaction when you win.

I feel the way you do mate since i am really too scared to give a risk on betting against the majority since i often suffer from losses. Even if i would like to find something like against the majority it is too often to happen especially if i know who would gonna win people will not gonna choose the underdog because they saw what i saw what will be coming.

[maydna]

Although I don't bet on sports betting, it seems it's better to be safe and not against the majority. But if we are sure with the team we choose can be the winner, I think we could try to against the majority. Perhaps, it's about how we can adapt in the betting sports, and we are smart to see the situations and conditions so we can act based on what we see.

But it will depend on what sports we want to place the bets and how good we are in collecting the information about the match. It is hard feeling if we against the majority while we don't know anything about the game.
