Sometimes I do place my bets on weaker teams in sports betting, but I don't think I am trying to bet on the opposite side against the majority gamblers who placed their bets on the favorite team to win the match, I analyzed my bet based on the number of key players who are injure in the team, and the team who is playing the match in their home stadium is also another important factor which would affect my betting decision.
That is the kind of strategy I applied as well, its just sometimes as betting against the majority all the time is like blindly betting and I haven't experiment of that. Once I see that the team that is the public is betting is heavily favored, that's the time I choose to bet on the other side because they think that team has no chance of winning but in fact it will win easily.
I don't know how that happen but basically what I am saying here is just based on my experience and observation, sometimes I kinda think of fading myself if I really like the favorites to bet on.
