1x2 vs the correct score bets

[QueenVera]

Mostly I bet on a football match that I will watch later lively on tv. Since my main purpose on gambling is for entertainment, I find it more entertaining to have a bet on a football match that I watch. By having a bet on 1x2, I can still enjoy the match. Correct score will just make me can’t enjoy the match. Because my focus is how many goal left until I can win the bet.

Most gamblers finds it difficult to place bet with correct score prediction and its hardly to play, there are some simple prediction option that at least gives out outcomes when placed successfully, over/under is a good option to consider when targeting winning in your bets slip.

Yes but as TedMosby said it's not the same thing when you watch an event. If you bet on a team or a player, you will support it and be happy if it finally wins, while if you bet on the score, you will just watch the contest like a bookmaker, with much less fun.

On entertainment aside of things then there are gamblers whom do just make out bets not for the sake of winning but only on being a die hard fan.
I cant see the enjoyment nor entertainment on betting on actual total scores and i do much prefer on betting on whose gonna win.I do see predicting
actual scores are really much harder and i agree that it isnt really that pleasant to guess on numbers rather than on the excitement that it gives when
you do bet on which one who will win the match.If it turns out for OP doesnt work this way then its better to go the other path around.

If that is to predict the score, I will give up because that will be too difficult. I don't have many predictions analysis about the score, but if that is for predicting the winner, I guess that perhaps, I will have a chance to win. But still, sometimes it is not easy to predict the winner because the situations and conditions can change if one team can rise and get more support from their fan or coach. We don't have to predict the score if we can't do that, but predicting the winner will be more comfortable than the score.

Guessing with 1x2 will be easier to be right, while predicting the correct score the chance is very small but it is not impossible to get it right every now and then there are even members who are able to win the event two times, and I'm sure players who use real money will prefer 1x2 instead of guessing the match score.

Of course, the probability of winning one of the teams is much higher than the probability of guessing the score of the game.  That's why most players choose 1x2 bets. It is of course possible to guess the score by chance, but guessing the score for several games in a row is unlikely to work.

Not Unless you were very lucky that day but this will only happen once in every Blue moon so why would needed to predict the score when we can choose 1x2 ?

It is not practical for a gambler to make things harder when an easy win is just around the corner.

But of course depend on the event in which what is the demand to put, either to 1.x 2 or predict the game score.

[robelneo]

Predicting the winning team is often more easy to win that than to predict the correct score.  Its always hard to bet on the score, although if you always bet on 0-0 or 1-1 score, there are chances that you win some times but its need a lot of luck. I also recommend everyone to go the winning teams bets and not focus of any other bet.

When two strong and favorite team is colliding with good defense as their strong points, you can expect the score not higher than 5 I am not a big fan of soccer but I have a lot of friends who are,  a friend often told me it's hard to predict the right score results when two defensive team meets, most of the times it ended 1- 1 or 0-0.

Yeah, it is really hard.

There are a lot of one-sided matches and based on the odds that the bookmakers placed, we could able to easily guess which is the favorite or not. But that doesn't ensure our win because we all know that it doesn't always play like that. Despite the odds, either team could win which makes it harder especially if you are having second thoughts.

I've opened threads on gambling behavior and multi vs single bets before, and this one is another question I'm interested in to understand what the majority of this gambling community prefers. If you bet on soccer matches, what kind of bets do you prefer? Is it 1x2 bets or are you into something more risky like predicting the correct score? What do you choose more often?

I'm not really a big fan of soccer as i'm NFL fan and bettor but i do bet sometimes when having a good mood watching the game.

I often choose 1x2 because never find more risk when there is simple way but big chance of winning.

As for me, I prefer the simple 1x2 bets because predicting the winner is often much simpler than predicting the score. However, I'm participating in Sportsbet EPL Pool, and there we're predicting the correct score of every EPL match (although you do get a point for guessing the outcome correct, so it's not as risky as placing bets on the correct score). So far, I've predicted the score correctly only 5 times out of 78 matches, so betting on the score is definitely not a good thing for me.

Looking at your stats ,you have only Get the Good hit 5x out of 78 plays ,meaning the statistics tell it more how risky choosing the score each game.

Well, sometimes i do bet on my favorite clubs but when it come to 1x2 vs correct score, i sincerely prefer to make some 1x2 bets more often than the correct scores. But when it come to my clubs play with others, i love going with the correct scores; this sometimes work for me and sometimes don't, but the beauty is: i will always surely watch those my favorite clubs without a miss. Although, the most easiest to win in sport-betting is going with the over/under.

It's a little bit strange to read that from you while you're not a newbie in gambling AFAIK 
Of course it's harder to predict scores than to predict 1x2 outcomes. But odds are not the same. So you will lose more often at those bets, of course, but you will make more profits when you'll win. It's just a matter of money management.

That's an interesting take on this situation, I didn't consider how watching the match is affected by the type of the bet. When a person bets on the team, it can also be stressful, no? But the score is about more pressure, I guess.

To be honest it is truly hard to predict or put a bet in a sport which your betting ground was to predict the end score of the game. But it can be possible by how the two team played in progress while on game. From how they play, how they bring their team inside a soccer field may give us a hint that the score may not get that specific score higher than 2. I am a fan of soccer game and predicting end score of this game wasn't easy.

Yeah, it's very hard. Getting the result right can be tricky sometimes, but it's not that hard about half of the time (because it's the same as the outcome with the lowest odds  about half of the time in my experience), whereas the correct score is something very hard to guess for me.

Yeah, it is really hard.

There are a lot of one-sided matches and based on the odds that the bookmakers placed, we could able to easily guess which is the favorite or not. But that doesn't ensure our win because we all know that it doesn't always play like that. Despite the odds, either team could win which makes it harder especially if you are having second thoughts.

Indeed. With having information and research by ourselves, we can easily guess which team has a chance to win. Speaking about bookmakers placed, my friend has an experience getting trick by the local bookmaker's place. The local bookmarker's place suggests him to choose the A team, and my friend follows him, but at the end of the game, he loses the money because the situation has changed. He complains to that man, but that man denied to trick him because that is my friend's risk. It is an example that no matters what other people suggest, we should research to find the right team.

I believe I am not the only one who is this crazy around here to place a bet.
I usually did it when picking a bet that involves my favorite team.
I am a Manchester United Fan, I always bet on the opposite side (or at least a double chance bet) on most of the big match 

as a United fan, it's a win-win for me.
I sacrifice my money for their 3 points or it could be United sacrifice their points to gives me money.
no stress inside

Even expert pundits wouldn't predict the correct score the best they can do is to predict the likely winner between the two teams based on their own analysis, I used to follow Lawro BBC weekly  soccer analysis on English premier League an expert in that field link https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55307810  however its often difficult for him get an accurate 1x2 score although there are few occasions when his predictions is accurate last week he got 3 correct score out of 10 thus less than average, I prefer under/over goals based on track records of a strong team playing a weaker team.

Sorry but i don't find it strange pointing simple things ,because sometimes along our gambling commitments we forgot those small things that in time will make matter .Sorry if i have given you that impression but i don't mean to be that way.

Of course it's harder to predict scores than to predict 1x2 outcomes. But odds are not the same. So you will lose more often at those bets, of course, but you will make more profits when you'll win. It's just a matter of money management.

Also i based on what OP shared recently about His activities so i have mentioned this but anyway the point is still it's better to choose 1x2 than the exact score.

and we been here because of OP's question so thanks for sharing Opinions .

Love the Idea  of the first and main goal why we watch and bet is to be entertained and winning is just a Bonus ,specially if our team is whom to Play .

It is difficult to trust in anyone when it comes to placing a bets. This must be considered if ever in placing our bets there have someone who would talked to us and will tackle about placing our bets. I am not saying that local bookmakers shouldn't be trusted but the time now wasn't like before, there have a lot of people used to trick others for the sake of their personal agenda. At the end of the day the most important decision lies on us to be able to spare from this kind of people.

I will follow behind you guys because we will enjoy watching the match and that can be an emotional situation when we win or lose because we do something with our money. But we will let it go if our reason is entertainment and having fun, especially if we bet with our friends who will enjoy what we did.

[CryptocurencyKing]

If you observe rather closely, there is a third option in a 1x2 bet which most of us often don't consider it as an option on first glance but should you have conflicting thoughts on making a prediction, it becomes real to you, that is, the x (Draw) option. When we see 1x2, our focus is often on the home or away win interpretation but then, it really narrows it down to three outcomes within a bet and certainly, one of it must play out. That's what makes it a much easier bet option compared to the correct score bet. Like you've rightly place it @OP, the much risky bet option and that's exactly what it is. It's possiblity or range runs upto a 100 options or more of which, only one would play out. So, what are your chances against such?
It's literally close to zero in many triers. This is why it comes with higher odds due to the high probability stake nature of it's outcome. You'll need a lot of luck for that pattern of bets. As for me, I'll go with the 1x2 pattern as it narrows than my options to only a handful of options.
