Do the odds of other outcomes matter to you?

[dimonstration]

When it comes to sporting bets the odds matters as it gives the sport different view from the players. I honestly don’t see any major reason to concentrate more in the odds when it’s Crystal clears the other game with probably lesser odds might win the game because whether odds or not the whole thing is still gambling.

Odds are just based on the player favorite. I wouldn’t want a case where by I will be more concentrated in the odds of the game and keep loosing so I rather go with the most favorite odds for me.

In almost all betting odds do matter, but it will be better if we weigh and see whether those teams rally do have a good background of winnings. I usually also check how the team performs in their past games even in determining odss it was already there but it's better to see it for our selves, for us to decide easily.

You may come off as a very nervous person but at least you hsve a plan to alleviate the losses in case. And as per OP's question, yes. A lot of the times it is best to double check your odds and second guess things that are a bit skeptical. The gambling industry is already too rigged and unforgiving to its losers, so you have to do your best to make the most out of it.

I am using the cashout feature very well by going for a high odds team and then watching them winning some part of the game. I can also hold till they win the game but we can't be lucky always so I decided not to remain in the bet for long and gamble like a trader and use the advantage of the cashout perks.

This is a great idea. Small wins is still a win anyway. Instead of letting the game transpire and risking yourself to even more losses, it's best to just quit while you are ahead.

it's a thing that we mostly consider, I often check it first before putting a bet. I know that this not give a huge assurance that we can win but that something it helps to increase our chances. And I have to continue doing this coz that it helping me anyway, and base on my betting experience, I find out that I won more times than losing, or maybe I was just lucky at that time. Well, I hope it works and I don't want to stop it until such time that it never gives me a favor. Anyway, losing is always be there, and have to expect that always as this is about luck.

It is better to small win than nothing. At least, we still make money from gambling, and maybe we can win more on the other days. We don't have to continue playing gambling if we think that our luck is gone because if we still insist on playing gambling for more, we will not get that winning, but we will lose the win money plus our money. It is not better to risk ourselves to get more losses because we don't know how long we can survive. If you win some money from those games, just remember that the next round will not always give you a chance to win more money.

But do really gamblers contented in small wins?though i believe that this is depend on what Gambling are we performing  but For a gambler that also fan of that game or team yeah small wins means a lot because aside from supporting his team he also gather some amount considering that the win itself is a good thing that happens that day.

odds do always show on top or at the beginning before we bet on sports so its impossible to ignore it or to say that you didnt saw it. congrats to you that you can win but are you betting on smaller odds ?

if your betting on higher odds most of the time , it cant be the odds that help you won but you won because you have knowledge on the teams that are competiting . you need to follow what works for you and theres no need to try other strategies because that can only ruin your winning streaks .

I do not properly understand how the odds work yet, but if it's what I think it's then I would probably bet on the match that has the likeliest winner and has other two outcomes with way less likely winners. Or I would probably double bet on the match with other outcomes that also has pretty likely winners. I guess the double betting for two outcomes in a match applies here?

You've got the idea of these odds. But double betting is not applicable most of the times especially if the winning team is only one. Double betting is only advisable to cases wherein there are two or more outcomes which will generate the win, because it is perhaps a matter of increasing the probability.

Or maybe betting sites don't just want/like the double betting feature? I thought it was too easy to win when I read about it in the past. I guess it's about double betting on two likely out outcomes... and Op post sound like what will need a double bet or something.

Even if it has a small profit, it has less risk compared to when betting on a team with higher odds. Team with higher odds are also decided by people that bet on them, if they have high odd then it means they have a small chance to win. Then if the opposite happens, your favorite team has higher odds which means they are likely to lose then it's up to you to decide if you trust them that they can beat their opponent in that game.

No doubts, winning with your own strategy will keep you on-track, following other strategy will just bother you with your knowledge upon the game that you are playing.You need to work more with in-depth knowledge to continue your winning streak or continue your good experienced having a higher chances of winning.

In regards to small or big odds, the chances of winning in a higher odds due to your knowledge
allows you to harvest bigger profits.

Doesn't really matter what the odds for the other outcomes are, since you should only look at the odds for the outcome you want to bet on. If we make probabilities out of the odds for Chelsea game, we have this:

Chelsea -> 1.46 = 68.49%
Draw -> 4.70 = 21.28%
Leeds -> 5.68 = 17.61%

This totals up to 107.38%, so Sportsbet's vig is 7.38% in this market.

Now if you consider to bet on Chelsea, the only thing you should look at is the 68.49%. If you think Chelsea has a higher probabilty of winning than that, you should bet on them. If you think it's lower, then not and you can probably check for draw/Leeds, if there is some value there. So, if you give Leeds 25%, then you should bet on them instead.

The hard thing is to calculate your own probabilities. The good thing though is, that you don't need precise numbers, you just need to figure out, if it's higher/lower than 68.49%.

How did it turn to 68.49%, i'm really not familiar with how do they calculate the favourite teams in a gambling platform.
Which i really don't give importantance to, cause im only betting on teams who has more wins and great roster build. This probability could better way to analyze the results of the match.

[XZERO1]

The odds on the likeliest winner are almost the same, but other outcomes are a bit more likely in the first match than in the second (even accounting for the 0.1 difference in the odds).
So when you are placing bets, does this difference between the odds of the favorite and other outcomes matter to you?

Yeah, it definitely matters to me and if I want to bet on a game with the lowest odds I'd make sure other odds are high enough to give me enough assurance, for example I would never bet on a team being the winner if the odds for draw or the odds of other team wins the game are less than at least double the amount, it means if I placed a bet on a team that has the odds of 1.50, then the draw odds, and the other team being the winner odds should be at 3.00 or higher for me to be worth it to place any bet on it since I usually don't want to risk that much to bet on a game outcome.

Once I am 100% sure of my choice that I will make in a bet it really doesn’t matter to me the odd as I decide for which team to bet from many factors and odds is not one of them.I decide based on my feelings,team quality,team news and few other resources so the odds is just a number to me.

very good stand because before we decide about whom to choose we are making a deeper evaluation and assessment and also Looking closer to the advantage and the abilities of that one.

So Yes better to bet on your choice than relying about the odds that idea of the analyst when w e can analyze also on our own since it is our money to be risk.

Well said. Odds will always be there. Odds act somehow as guides but still, in deciding for the better option and seeking to place bet on a team that would most likely win, it will still depend on your knowledge and guts based on the information you have towards the team and the game.

[crwth]

I consider this as a gauge of what the outcome could be. If the favorite opponent has a large multiplier, it's most likely to lose in the game. It makes it quite a safe bet if you are gambling with a large amount of capital. If you are actually trying to bet to win big and could afford multiple losses, then betting on the underdog is the way.

What matters at the end of the day is what you are going to do with your capital and how you will risk managing it. It somewhat matters, not to the extent of choosing the decision but what could be the "ideal" way to bet.

[el kaka22]

All odds matter to me in the end. I do not care what the odds for one team is, without looking at the other team I will not decide, without looking at other outcomes I will not wager. I just want to see the money line for both teams, the scores, the half times and full times, the goals scored number, the cards, the offsides and corners basically I will look at every single outcome I possibly could before I make a decision.

However in the end most of the time I will wager on who will win and that's it, because that is the one thing I am almost always certain on what is going to happen over the other ones. I can know which team will win, I can't really know how many corners there will be, that is more like flipping a coin and seeing which one won, whereas end result is more decisive in the end.

[hahay]

The difference in odds is important because if there is no difference in odds then I'm sure the sports bookies will at least lose more. Imagine when there is a top team against a low-level team, how can the odds be equalized because obviously more often and most of the top teams will win. In addition, the difference in odds also makes sports gambling more attractive because it is not only 1x2, because anyone can bet by looking for low, medium and even high odds.

It is true what ever the odds are no matter what as long as it is your choice and you place your bet because you knew that team or player can win the game without doubt it is all about following your guts and supporting the team at the first place , like me i don't care about the odds are as long as it keep you entertain and sometimes i just analyzing not only in the odds because some other sports needs to. So you will not be surprize what will be the outcome of the game tho.

Even though how intelligent we are with gambling, that always a matter of luck while in the midst of pressures of the reality of the game. Betting strategy will surely put our chances nearly to winning progress, so always cherish every moment or opportunities that give you any potential profit. Odds will be our best opportunity, that's why we must embrace it.

Doesn’t matter that much for me tbh, as I’m only betting on the event I am interested in and made my research with it, so it’s highly probable that even if the other event’s odds are juicier and brings more value, I would still not do it. That’s responsible betting and not something that should be thought about too much IMO. Most bettors bet on different events they know nothing about just because the odds are too good to pass. More often than not, they get their red slips and losses which is easily preventable if they just stuck with the event they know well enough to bet some actual money on.
