How many times have you gone against majority

[joshy23]

Whenever I bet, I never actually look at the odds. I stick to my own analysis and knowledge on a certain sport. If you know a sport and the teams pretty well, whether the odds are on you or against you, you would stay on your own choice when picking which team to bet on.

Good point. If you know how good the team or player that you choose you'll go directly and place your bet without any interfering things to changed your mind. With how you plan your system you will increase your chance to win, even the majorities are against your pick you will proceed and wait for the outcome. Win or lose as long as you follow your own strategy you won't feel any disappointment.

If you're a risk-taker, you're always going against the majority, because you know  that the stakes are high and although there is a little chance to win, you can win big time if there is an upset, upsets seldom happen but when it happens it's a huge reward for every loss that you've gone in the past.

That will help you if you know more info about the match and they don't know what you know, so you will have a chance to win. But it is hard to against the majority if they know who will be the winner and especially if they can play with the result. I think risk-taker or not, you should be careful if you want to against them because that will not be good if you don't know the more signs.

I don't think there's any much good reason to play alone, no matter how much assurance you have in gambling.  We all know that more people would know more and as they say that two heads are really far better than just one alone.

Like you have mentioned earlier on, only those who want to take risk would do that and that is quite hell of stupidity for me.  Risk can be considered for something highly profitable not gambling that only gives chances and luck.  I would say that it is not worth it. Play with the crowd and play safe, play alone and bear the loses alone   and I really do not see any reason why anyone would choose to go for that option.

What type of odds your are referring here?
Everytime we bet on sports there's always what we called a betting odds, either the over/under, point spread, and the moneyline and they offer different payout on different odds they offer.

If you will just analyze and choose which team will win, well, I guess that's easy because you just have to bet on the favorites all the time.
However, you will not be getting a good payout as mostly the odds are below 1 which you will get less than 100% of your winning compared to the amount you bet.

I must clarify that i stopped betting at the moment, that doesn't mean that my greedy sould is dead, lol.
I do remember doing what you mentioned in the thread, i sometimes fell that "following the sheeps is foolish" , i had couple of times when i changed my mind and didn't follow the majority but it is usually going to be a lose because the majority of my friends are experts in analysis, lol, they would die having their phones in their hands watching live bets on Bet365 or Bwin. I did it a couple of time but the result is a loss normally but that didn't mean that i lost all the times, i sometimes smile at the bank, lmfao.

It's possible why the "sheep" or the majority are usually right is because they follow experienced and knowledgeable gamblers. The experienced gamblers have little incentive to be dishonest with their picks... everybody is desperate for victory with little or no incentive to be deceitful.

 The only time going against the majority would work is if you are more experienced and skilled than the top gamblers. But still, the community will eventually notice and follow you.

I can't remember if how many times I bet against the majority. But I remember year 2017 I always betting in the high return team even if the winning rate is too low. Who knows what will happen in that game. And the feeling you won after betting in underdog team is fantastic.

This is the right thing that everyone should do whenever they are placing a bet on a certain sports, by doing what you really have in mind, either you lose or win, you won't even regret anything because you are happy on your decisions, unlike if you are going to listen to everybody around you that you should do this, that, and so on, you'll end up depressed and over thinking that you should have never listen to them.

It is your money, it is your life, it is your choice, so don't rush your decisions, your money would not run away from you if you can't decide in a minute or more, take your time, for you to make the best decisions always.

Bookies will likely fix the match but depends on what sport we are betting.

If a sports book needs to fix matches to be profitable then they are not doing their job appropriately, people seem to have the mistaken idea that the house does not have an edge on each of these sporting events and that is not true, they are like any other casino, they have an edge and under normal circumstances it does not matter the result of a match they will earn money, there are exceptions to this, if for some reason an unexpected result happens and the odds they gave were too good, but for the most part every single event is profitable and they do not need to fix matches.

Sometimes a certain team is overvalued so the winning rate is overvalued as well.
I am also a fan of that strategy, less time to analyze the game, you just put your bet based on your instinct and if that wins, you will get a better return.
Most of the teams are bet in sports are those teams that could give at least x3 of your bet and per experience, its way profitable than betting in lower odds if you are not just betting on it blindly.

Definitely none as I remember because I’m the type of person that loves going to many as I believe it’s merrier ,and majority mostly win specially in sports betting I don’t know why but in my experience?yeah it is,or maybe it’s the positive approach is what attracts the luck?either way never in a chance that I will go against majority not a single chance and never forever

It is something that I'd never feel it also. For the reason why we ask advice because we want to hear from the majority which is really good and it gives a positive result. What it makes thing difficult to the others is that they don't want to listen, they are not an open-minded person which taking them to losing rather than of making wins.

If that is principle in gambling, I don't think you will be able to win in the long run, I believe going with the majority will make you lose because in general sports book are profitable and odds markets are making odds based on how majority think of the outcome of the game.

Betting against the public is somewhat a good strategy for me as majority are not studying well, or they just decide based on their emotion, and gambling is not like that,  you can only win if you can find the value on the odds and usually majority will just step in to the trap and lose.

Yes, two heads will be better than one head, I agree that. Maybe in out there, some people will take the risk, and they will place the bets. We don't know why they want to take the risk, and maybe they have their info that can make sure their team will win. As I said, we can think that it is not worth to do because we don't know how they will do that. Only people who already calculate everything that will take the risk, and we only watch him do that thing.

couple of times i guess?because i usually go with the group of friends if whats their choice then i will ride with them,but the most unforgettable in 2017 July 2.

this is the match awaited fight of younger fighter Jeff Horn against our very own Manny Pacquiao when it turns out that all of them are betting with Manny and theres a little amount left for Manny's side when in Jeff has plenty so what i did is secretly bet for Pacquiao's opponent and luckily?i won over them and it is atleast 400$ that time 

[bering]

Very rare to did this to me because bets against majority very risky although the odds for underdog teams usually high but once time i have good experience for this on semifinal match of champion league last season Liverpool vs Barcelona for second leg that everything just like mission impossible because 4 goals is very difficult for Liverpool but i don't know why i'm so confident bets for them although almost every people don't dare to do so but eventually the results makes me smile widely because Liverpool can through the match with 4 goals difference

[Pinkris128]

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

"Not all popular bet is the correct bet" That was what my friend quotes every time he tries to gamble and play against the flow. But betting on the "weaker" side and winning creates a greater feeling of joy and fulfillment. After all, we are not lambs that just follows the heard in the cliff. We can decide on our own. I also have my fair share of being on the "weaker" side though there are times, I lose because there are also instances that the crowd is right. Just try to be wise before you bet.

Well, at this point you are right. Probably that is rare to those gamblers who against the majority's choice or choosing the underdog team which really risky. Although, the match is unpredictable giving a high chance to win the majority odds. But there are some gamblers than willing to take a risk and once they had to win the odds they have to win is quite huge compared if you joined the majority.

But in that case we can't say Liverpool and Barcelona are underdog teams, because to fight the majority isn't always about underdog teams. I also very rarely fight the majority because it is very risky and does not have the courage to fight, because in a case like this we at least get both great teams but because the majority is what makes the odds have a big difference and of course makes me personally difficult to fight the majority and always not confident in cases like this.

The best way mate is to always go with instinct because at the end of the day it's always a risk on both ends and there's no assurance that following the crowd and acting on their opinion will save one from eventually losing. I think one of the reasons many go with majority or listens to other persons opinions is because of fear and not until we learn to overcome this, we would always be coward gamblers.

It takes only those who are willing to make loses to make much profits in gambling. I can't begin to mention the countless times I made up my mind to go against the crowd especially during sport betting and I can tell that it's indeed rewarding.

The majority vote can guide you which of the team is the crowd favorite, which has strong assets, and which as the least risks of losing. Though it is not correct all the time. Especially in esports, between the two teams, one can lead in the first half but the other team can still have chance to fight back and lead until the end of the game. I've seen this too many times in DOTA and LoL competitions.

I gambled against the majority last summer during the world cup in Russia. Germany played against South Korea and it was a hell of a boring match up until the 75th minute, so i waited on livebet that the odds on Germany to score the next goal arise. The odds slowly raised for Germany so i decided to play that South Korea score the next goal, and they did it. Then i was so amazed that South Korea scored, that i placed another bet sometime in the 90th minute that South Korea will again score the next Goal, and they again scored, but i remember that i was sweating because the ref wanted to disallow that goal, then VAR jumped in and proved that the goal was regular thus saved my ticket lol
