How many times have you gone against majority

[Oilacris]

I think I have a... what do they call it... "compulsion"? with going against the majority.
When I see a lot of people doing something, even if it's something I would have chosen as well I'll do something different.

For example I'm the guy who chooses the least played class in MMORPGs, the least played role in Overwatch, the non-meta combinations in different games etc.
Even though I don't gambling-bet, I imagine I would be going for the minority there as well!

You can apply it on other industries like e-games but that wont surely work here on gambling world.Go against with the majority will really give that
high percentage of loss,we have seen some underdog wins but not most of the time.If you do really have that kind of traditional minority choices then
try it up with gambling and you would see for yourself about their differences when it comes to succession.

Unfortunately, particularly in the world of sports predictions, the majority are often right.

No doubt the majority few times getting it wrong in the out come of a bet where the odd difference is very much, but what I was driving at is that we can also depend on our own sense of judgement in games since we the one staking if we should take responsibility for any outcome the game brings

If I would have to bet against the public every time, I would have do the strategy.

However, knowing where the public money is going is a hard job so even though we thought we are betting against the public, sometimes we could be wrong as sometimes sharp money is on the other side why the line has move.

Only experience sports bettors would understand that, capping based on the line or the stats is not effective anymore based on my experience, what I notice is more effective is the psychological betting where you think like a bookies because they are right most of the time.

I don't do this often, that's going against majority as I'm the playing it safe type. Hardly before you see me taking the risk of betting on high odds. The number of times I have gone against majority bet is very countable and when I do the risk amount usually isn't that much but the playing along bets which are my favorite are uncountable.

If the chance of winning will come from the majority, then we don't have to against them because that will not give any benefits to us. We want to win, but we should look at the situations around us so we can decide what to choose. That happens many times in the local gambling because there are so many people who have good skills in the games so they can calculate with good so they can get a higher percentage to win the games.

But sometimes, they can not always have a high chance to win, and we can have that chance, so it is okay to against the majority, but once again, we need to look at the current situations. We can play safe as you say and that is what we need to do if we don't want to against them.

I don’t consider the risk of lose as bad because where there is chance of making money we will have to face the risk of lose as well. No body can give you perfect guarantee to win or lose but you will have to manage all with your own abilities better make your good predictions while betting and once majority says something does not means you are wrong. Just gain knowledge as much as you can

If that person can face the risk of lose, and he is willing and ready to lose if he is not lucky, then I am sure he will take the risk and try to making money. Sometimes we need to realize what we can do, and we cannot do so we can know what we need to do.

Related to gambling between the majority, I think it's better we know how to act associated with the current situations so it will give us a chance to make money. And with our knowledge, I am sure that we will have the ability to predict the next round. That will be good if we can know what the majority will do in the next round so we can adjust our bets with the situations.

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.

How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank

I'm a safe player I only done it once in our local team, of course this is your team although they are very much an underdog I prefer to bet on my team because of loyalty, but on all my gambling betting I always go for the favorite even if the prize is not that big, because upsets seldom happens.

Personally I've never been against the crowd.. about 2 weeks ago I lost a bet on MU vs Southampton match, the crowd chose MU as the winner then I chose MU who will be the winner, but the result of the match ended Draw.

a lot of things that go undetected will happen, especially in a soccer match.

Before you consider sticking to your own decision or following instinct especially in sports bet, be sure to take the risk and ensure you have the money to waste at that point, because obviously those high number of predictors are always 80% accurate. It is always better to follow them and loose than to go with your judgment and lose at the same time. If you lose following your mind, you will always find yourself to blame because deep down, you know it was avoidable.

I have never gone against majority in gambling, although most majority opinion has led me to failure and I wish I obeyed my mind but thinking back to the times obedience made me win, I never regret staying with the crowd.

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.

Countless of course so do I... besides it's really my style to bet against the odds, put small amount of money and targetting a huge amount in return ... that's provide you a real entertainment rather than put a huge amount of bet but feeling blue in the end.

My crazy bet on Leicester to win premier league back in 2015-2016 season is the memorable one. Got a @130 odds when directbet still exist here.

Last time I was placed bet for Belgium vs san Marino for under 6 goals ... where over 4.5 goals have a really low odds @1.15  , I won it easily 

[dothebeats]

Countless of times, most especially on esports wherein I believe a tier 2 team would be going toe-to-toe against a tier 1 team with fluke results as of late. This has been very evident on the International 2019 and I have had Infamous Gaming on my picks up until the quarterfinals of the lower bracket knowing that they have had this synergy against top tier teams of the tournament. Also, there had been some lucky instances on my against the majority picks, most especially on Tennis. Not proud of it given my poor knowledge on tennis but I decided to bet anyway and it won. :v

[jrrsparkles]

Sometime I think against the majority of people but not sure how many times I did bets on that kind of scenarios.But l if majority of people betting on it will convince us to do the same thing psychologically,which makes the actual number to be very lower.

If there is any sport better here,I would like to see their opinion about this to know about the behaviour of occasional better with serious better of sport.

[jake zyrus]

Some people would obviously bet based on what the majority thinks would win. It's like a play safe move. But there are times that unexpected result would happen. I ain't fan of sports betting but I believe that if you're into sports betting, you wouldn't bet on something you don't know. It's okay to be against the majority as long as you know the capability of the team you would bet on. Of course, you would bet on your team/the team you support.

[Yaunfitda]

How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank

Bet so many times against the crowd, specially in horse racing.

I usually look for the long shot to get the best dividends for my money. Of course not every time you will win with this kind of strategy. But if someone see's your bet and laugh at you but then after the race, you are the one smiling because you know otherwise.  

[crwth]

We all know the feeling where everyone is just against you and staring at you when you are being looked to as a person who made the wrong decision. As gamblers or even people who follow different entertainments has their own opinion to which who wins or the most talented with all the rest. There is always a majority but with that comes the factor on who you are taking with. Anyone who you talk to has their own biases; maybe it will be because it's from their hometown or they know the people who are part of the team. There are a lot of variables.

Anyway, in my own experience with regards to choosing someone who I believe win, are almost all the time, a losing one. When someone is being cheered on, or the majority likes it, I tend to counter the opposite way. just because.

There are exceptions to these rules of mine, as long as the evidence shows the probability of winning, I would choose it. There are Facts to consider for sure. One thing is for sure is that I don't want to risk more than I am willing to lose — still, strict management.

I think we have all been there. Just remember that you can never predict the outcome correctly.

[buwaytress]

I do it quite a lot when gaming (choosing the least popular race or most disadvantaged character). This is not usually the evil/bad one I've realised especially since the 90s when good/evil weren't necessarily determinant of popularity but usually the slow, boring characters. Makes it so special when you win.

IT's really the same thing motivating me to do huge underdog bets. You can see my daily thread I regularly bet against majority but of course, I also try to make sure it's a bet that I know has a real chance of winning.

Liverpool qualifying to Champs League, last season 20/1 but it wasn't impossible.

Leicester 5000/1 to win EPL? I would ever have taken that!

[SquallLeonhart]

Unfortunately, particularly in the world of sports predictions, the majority are often right. Similarly, if you look at sportsbetting platforms, they all tend to have the same or at least similar odds for their games, since they all use the same set of parameters or source for their predictions.

However, you do get some particularly skilled people that are able to spot discrepencies in the odds, where one team or player has not been given the due credit they deserve and has had the odds incorrectly stacked against them. Sadly, I'm not one of these players, as I tend to settle for small, low odds gains.

Last time I won when going against the majority was on the Wilder/Fury fight, I bet on a draw in the 11th round.

Yes, going against the crowd in sports betting is always a mistake because from experience most times they are always right but I have actually made my decision contrary to what the majority believed. I didn’t really do that for any genuine reason anyway, that was about 3 years ago or so, can’t remember precisely, but I just wanted to be funny and I had the money to waste then. But as luck would have me, that match was in my favor and many thought I knew something I didn’t share.

I think sometimes following ones emotions in gambling can go a long way to save one from loses and stress, its one I experience I will not forget in a lifetime.

[Vispilio]

Since part of the draw of all sports competition is the unpredictability factor, going against the majority would make sense even from a strictly

reward to risk ratio perspective. In a field where surprises are heavily pronounced, it makes sense to often go with the bets that would

offer you the higher odds to win.

That makes a lot of sense, since there is a part of our being that intuitively tells us what is going to happen, it is for this same reason that we must obey our instinct, not only in sports betting, I also read it from a trading speculator of The 1800s that heeded his intuition and many of those times came out victorious, in games it happens the same, in trading and even in life.

[SirLancelot]

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.

There is one saying I always hold unto that majority has the game, it is sometimes not true but it is 90% true and accurate, so in my opinion, I will say that it is better to always go with the crowd, this is what I do always. That someone went against the crowd and it flavored him does not mean it will always be that way. It possible that he was only lucky.

I have always been doing this for some time and I must admit that it works well for me, although sometimes it fails and I wish I had hadn’t followed the decision but then looking  at the number of times it flavored me, I am more thankful and fulfilled that I always stayed with the crowd.

And it's also fun to go contrary to popular bets. Not only does the profit get bigger, there's also the sense of having bragging towards everyone who went with the conventional. Though of course, it's difficult to get consistent winnings with this kind of mindset, for me it's kind of an ego boost. But we all know having that kind of feeling is extremely dangerous in gambling lol.

[jhonjhon]

I did it a few times but most of the time, i’ll go with the majority because it is a little safer unlike when you bet in an underdog and risk you money. But sometimes going with majority becomes a little boring so it’s nice to go against them at time and it’s just amazing when a time will cone that you won because you go against the majority.

Sportsbetting is also quite the same as gambling where it has risk when you bet either with the majority or against them. It just a matter of good decision making and a bit of luck too.
