Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting?

[Rifmax]

Low odds are not safe can make you lose money that you won in one game so be very careful + If the low odds are safe all the time, we can make many wins and big returns, but sports books are not always like that. They set traps that you can fall into.

[Ryker1]

Well, I saw that you are lucky enough you have won that huge amount for me. But I think this strategy will not work for the long term, perhaps.
It is like a based on luck game, you perhaps have a low odds that is quite hard to win even two consecutive wins in a row. Perhaps not safe on my side but there's nothing we can do, always ready every detail and avoid those high fees. However, the best strategy is to analyze who will gonna win.

[Viscore]

I usually put my bets into the higher odds, yeah, it all not works well and chances are just 50/50. And I realize that it is never easy to win in gambling and not only the odds we have to take a look but must also look at the team whos playing.

But things are already acceptable, gambling makes me fun (but not addicted) so I'd never had to complain because I lose. It was the thing that we should expect, winning is just a lucky day for us, and unfortunately, it never comes to us always.

The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team have now lost ten fixtures in a row, so it's almost guaranteed betting against them will pay off, so it might be a small return, but it's almost a sure thing.

All bets are really not safe. But like the OP, I also did that strategy from time to time, when I got tired of losing with higher odds. Because the chance of winning with low odds is higher but still depend on circumstances. Not all the time it will work. As you said, the site itself may be setting some traps and we don't know it.

There's no such thing about safe bets on gambling world even how good you are on sports betting neither you do have a good strategy but doesnt mean that you would
really able to sustain it for too long but somehow there are people who do make living with it into their corresponding sports that they do mastered or do know much about.
So basing off into your illustration about betting on underdogs then ofcourse you can expect that high percentage on where you would lose but there are underdog bets that
can able to pull it through because we know on a certain game, even strong teams can be beaten out by weak ones on some situation and basing of odds then thats a big hit
but these are likely to happen.

Odds at below 1.3 is not a good pick even chances to win is 90-100%. Just imagined how much you need to put for a good profit in return.

Yes, more chances to win but still losing is possible.

Not worth a risk. I will play at 1.7 above instead of risking money on low odds.

You got a point! Risk:reward ratio too.
We should also consider what we are risking and the reward we get for what we risked.
For me, even how odds is higher or extremely favor on the one you bet, there are still lot of chances that it will loses, in any sports I admit.
That's why there are lot of people who are betting against the high odds with very low amount only but the reward is huge.

When I first started sports betting I followed the same strategy, choosing favorite Teams or Players for Betting. I thought it would be safe,
and I continued to increase my betting amount. But there must be a moment when a strong team will lose,  this makes me experienced
a big loss. Based on this experience, we must also have the courage to take bets with high payouts. But it's not easy, an analysis of the team
that will play is required. We must have good knowledge in the sports world.

[BitcoinPanther]

No, as long as there is risk involved and randomness of the result, there is no truly safe bets but only lucky bets.  Even with most minimal risk,  it cannot be considered safe.  Sports betting just like any other gambling games, there is always a percentage that you will be busted just like what I have stated, the randomness factor makes our bets even on the most favorable scenario to lose.

[harizen]

Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?

There's no way I will do that kind of betting. Not worth a reward.

I'd like to gamble and risk more to high odds compare to this. The reason is, losing in a low odds is more regrettable and hurtful compare to risking high odds.

As a sports bettor for several years, I like to rely on my own knowledge to increase my winning chances, not to place my bet securely and safe.

The lowest odds so far I take is @1.5 and my bet has 90% to win based on my own view. Although, if ever that bet loses, I can't imagine how I will handle that loss.

On this we can call it a safe bet since if we are knowledgeable on the team stats and roosters for this we will get a high advantage compare to the other bettor that doesn't have any knowledge on what he is doing. And its a risky bet to do a random selection so personal knowledge can really increase our chances to win specially on sports or any skill based games.

[Wexnident]

Not really. I mean, yes, it's good if you just want to keep your winning percentage high, but it isn't even a gamble anymore, not to mention that even you can lose when betting to those with high odds. Not to mention that you'd have low profit if you won, if you lost, you'd have to gamble multiple times to even get back your return. Don't just bet on those with high payouts, sports betting involves research just as well as luck is needed. A bit of knowledge about where the players are, what were they doing before should be enough judgement to push you whether to bet for them or not.

Indeed. there's still risk even the chance of winning was so high there's still things that might affect your bets.
But if you understand the game and the team that you are betting with, the chance of winning is much better.

Sports betting just like any other gambling games, there is always a percentage that you will be busted just like what I have stated, the randomness factor makes our bets even on the most favorable scenario to lose.

Because you are still in gambling business there's no assurance that you'll win from time to time. You have lesser risk if you
really know the game as you can weight in the reason for having such odds.

Although I am not into rugby betting, I cannot imagine how low the odds would be in this case if you prefer to just bet on win or lose. I bet it is not worth risking. Sometimes, a team with nothing to lose, with every game they play just a mere game, would surprisingly upset an opposing team which is much stronger. 

If the odds would be ≤1.10, that wouldn't be worth betting at all. Better be risking and bet on handicap with higher odds than stay safe with very low odds but still not 100% sure of winning.

[Astvile]

There are no safe bets, but there are less risky bets. Just like what you said low odds means more chance of winning but that doesn't mean it is safe to bet on it. No matter what the percentage of winning of a team there is still a chance of losing don't expect to be safe in gambling. I lost a bet with a 95-5 percentage of winning so anything is possible in gambling.

[maydna]

I guess @OP have much suggestion from other members. I only want to suggest using the money you can afford, no matter how much you want to place a bet, you need to think about how much the money you are ready to lose. But for me, there are no safe bets because every bet that you place on the gambling will have a risk that you should accept. And when you can't win from that bets, it is because you are not lucky.

But you can modify your strategy to have a high percentage in winning the gambling games, but you must remember that all of that will depend on the luck factor. So you won't feel regret if somehow you lose in any gambling games.

[shoreno]

safe bet in gambling doesnt literally mean safe or no guaranteed loss but that only means that less risk or less chance of lossing  .

low odds looks like its winnable but if you look around you , many gambler says that low odds are verry risky . i dont know why they say that but maybe because low odds are attracting you to bet more or giving you an illusion that you can earn easy money .

[Fundamentals Of]

In general, there are really no safe bets in gambling including sports betting. If there is a possibility of losing, then that means it is not safe.

But we may refer to the different degrees of risk. And we may consider those bets with very low risk to be safe, but only as far as those risky ones are concerned. So it is a matter of comparison.

But safe as it is? No. You can actually make an experiment on this, consistently betting on teams with very low odds, which could be interpreted as sure wins. You will most likely end up with a negative net rather than a positive.

Low odds are indeed dangerous, As I said I once lost a 95%-5 bet with almost $1k in line. I put that much money because of the odds of winning of the team I bet on. Low risk means low winning so basically you need to wager a ton of money in order to win a decent amount. High wage with low return, and that's not good in gambling.
