Copying Bet From Other Unknown Bettors, Is This a Good Practice?

[serjent05]

I think there is no problem copying other bets when it gives us the win.  Besides, there is no written rule that copying others' bet is a sin or is bannable by the casino or sportsbook.  Although I have no experience copying other betting strategies, I am open to learning or doing it if the need arises.  But for now, I would enjoy my own strategy and analysis no matter what the result is.  It is better to lose with our own effort and analysis than the copied one because we can decipher our actions (for betterment) but not others.

Like we all know. or maybe some of us already know, Stake.com has this feature that allows a bettor to copy other user's bet, It doesn't matter and you don't actually have to know who owns the bet you are copying, what important is that if you copy another bettor's bet, and that bettor's bet wins, you win as well, amount you win you already know depends on the amount you stake, so also, if that bet losses, you loss as well.

I don't do that I only copy bets from people I know like in boxing and horse racing but if you don't know whose bet it is then there's a risk out there, you can win or you can lose or win doing that, I can only do a comparison on my bet and all the other bets but trusting my money to other people is like betting in a dice game you never know how good the bet is, so it could go the other way, although I'm not saying yours is good or bad.

So for you, is copying bets online a good practice? have you tried it and won before? would you try it when you really want to bet and have no idea where or what sports to bet on?

It's not a good or bad practice it's copying at your own risk and many casinos and betting platform allow this, I remember in horse racing they openly endorse specific horses to win in particular races and it's legal.

There's no wrong on copying yet its your choice on doing so but come to think that betting along side with other bettors does really remove out the real essence of thrill
just like the rest been saying above and on the time that you had lost your bet then it would really be leaving out that kind of regret.It isnt a good  practice imho.
You could follow others bet if you wanted to but sooner or later you would really be noticing that it wont really be such ideal nor a good thing on doing so
specially when you are on the situation where you are losing that much.

There are good and bad to it, and it's completely legal, casinos allow it so they can invite more players to bet as they have the option to bet using their own analysis or decision or from other players', you understand the risk involved like you are not guaranteed to win here, I have not tried to copy other people's bet I prefer to lose on my own bet it's more exciting betting on your own bets than the other bets, but if you prefer to bet using other people's bet its better to bet on bettors that bet with a huge amount, they will not bet that huge if they are not backed by good analysis.

they may have their reasons why they are betting big. but don't assure yourself that if you follow these high rollers, you can also guarantee your winning, because it is not. you can't blame them if you lose. so it is still better to bet on your own as you have no reason to blame anyone if you lost it. or if you follow them, make your own analysis also. don't bet blindly. check if there's good reason why they are betting big on that particular line. if you know the sports, would be easy for you to spot such reason.

This really depends on your knowledge on the game itself- remember that some bettors have a specific amount for betting.

Are you familiar with the martingale strategy? You might copy the betting system of a person not knowing that he bets double whenever he losses a round and this might interfere with your strategy or fund management. Like what most have mentioned, it is still recommended if you develop your own strategy especially if you are not familiar with a current game.

Didn't expect that but yeah, it might interfere your fund management if you carelessly copying someone's betting style. So, it depends if someone is aware of what they are doing but if not then they might lose or win depending on who they have been copying but most of the time they would still lost.

I won't suggest copying someone's betting style if they aren't familiar with the strategy the other bettors been doing. They might end up losing the same and just like what the majority said, develop your own strategy or watch closely those random bettors you are copying if they are really winning or else you will be copying someone just to lose at the end.

The point is that there will always be people betting on the different possible outcomes for a same match, so after all you still have to be lucky to copy the right predictor among the alternatives around. It's not different from betting by yourself. I think it's an interesting concept that may turn the gambling activity more entertaining for the gambler who wants to have a different experience from the trivial one where he builds his bets as he wish. Sometimes we want to follow our instincts, but on other moments we simply want to follow someone's lead and enjoy the winnings with them, almost like a 'team'.

It is still not a copy bet for me because you did not copy all of the bets; only your bet and the user's bet are the same, but both of your bets will be different in the next round. I understand your point, but in a copy bet, all of the user's bets are copied to you, so it's kind of like you're copying someone else's luck. I would definitely give it a try because it sounds intriguing, and if I could replicate someone's lucky day, Lol.

[Wexnident]

I wouldn't say it's "bad", copying is something done by people all the time really, and in this case, where the platform allows it, the only responsibility left is about the money spent and nothing more. I also wouldn't really call it a case of "coinciding" bets since that's rather different from "copying" itself. If you're comfortable with leaving your money with someone else and letting them spend it then I'd say copying is completely fine (since that's what copy bets really are at its core).

The only case copying a bet would go wrong is if your personal belief refuses (but for some reason still did) to copy a bet, especially in cases where you have knowledge of the game itself and can make your own bet. Though that goes to be pretty subjective imo so it's a case-by-case basis, not really something I (or we) can generalize imo.

[traderethereum]

Copying bets from unknown bettors is a good practice for people who want to gamble but do not know what to choose.
Although this can give risk by selecting an unknown bettor, we can expect to make wins if they win.
It would be good if we had knowledge from the match and then we could check all bettors and copy their bets.
But you need to be careful to select the bettors because we do not know anything about them and do not use too big money to bet.

[Silberman]

It's still better if you know the game first. Not a good practice if you are doing it blindly.
It will still pop out in your bet slip and will have time to review it, that means you know what you pick and who are the possible winners of the game.
It's not different with picking it on your own. It just gets the job faster rather than choosing yourself.
Now, there are instances where gamblers do follow people and their bets, in this example if I am right, it is Drake who is mostly sharing his bets to the public and in social media.

I do not really think it makes too much sense to copy the bets of someone else, it seem to me that some people are trying to do something similar to what we see in trading in which some traders copy the trades of the whales trying to get the same results, but just as this does not work very well in trading the same happens with gambling, so either people learn to gamble just for fun or develop their own system they can employ to try to become profitable, as this does not seem the way they can achieve this.

[Jawhead999]

It's similar like you're never trading, but you're want to start trading and just follow the fake signal on telegram. It's dumb idea, how you can bet someone when you aren't familiar with the sport, team or the fighter? if you're already familiar with the sport, you must know and have own prediction which team or fighter will win. I wouldn't feel satisfied if I bet a team or fighter when I think they don't have capabilities to beat their opponent.

[davis196]

There's nothing wrong with copying a sports bet, but you have to be familiar at least a little bit with the match on which you are betting.
I personally haven't copied other people's bets, because it seems riskier than placing my own bets.
Copy trading is a thing in platforms like eToro, no wonder that some gambling platforms have implemented copy betting. I don't believe that copying other gamblers would increase your chances of winning more money. Gambling is supposed to be fun, when you make your own bets.
Relying on someone else's luck (or sports betting knowledge) kinda loses the fun part of gambling.

[QueenVera]

This is actually a nice initiative to me and the truth be told that, there are times or days we wish to stake a bet but really don't know what to bet on and seem stocked, but with a feature like this very one, I think it's a welcome development because you literally don't have to bet blindly as you said but you also have the choice and option to review each games before adding it to your bet.
Just in copy trading, when one has to pay a commission to the original trader if the trade is successful, I don't know if same applies here, where we have to pay a commission to the original bettor if the game is won.
I also want to know if the accuracy rate for a person is calculated and displayed along with previous winnings to atleast give one an edge on who to copy a game from.

[EarnOnVictor]

This is a good initiative though it has been existing in the world of financial market trading before now, yet it's good to see it in gambling too. But before anyone is so excited, one should first know if it's transparent because companies these days could do anything to make more money under new schemes. I believe the bettor should be sure that those they want to copy must be accessible before and after each bet.

In other words, their history of betting must be auditable by the people who copy them so that the casino will not be playing pranks. Anything outside this is no-deal for me.

[Bitinity]

Copying bets from unknown bettors is a good practice for people who want to gamble but do not know what to choose.
Although this can give risk by selecting an unknown bettor, we can expect to make wins if they win.

Copying bets because we do not know what to choose is stupid imo, it is even better to not gamble at all than risking our money on others especially if the one we try to follow is unknown person or just because we are a fan of him/her. Copying bets is fine if we know who is the one we try to follow, lets say he is a proven and well experienced sports bettor.

It would be good if we had knowledge from the match and then we could check all bettors and copy their bets.

This is the best thing to do, at least we do not do 100% copy without doing anything else. We should analyze the bets ourselves as well, if we think that the bets is good enough after our own analysis then we can go for it or maybe we can change something with the bets.

[redsun114]

Obviously not a good practice because when you say unknown that means you didn't know the person and his play style but it's okay if you already observed some of his play on the past and then you found out that the majority of it a win. That is better than if you know the person well but his bets are mainly losses.

Copying bets in gambling can be the same as copy-trade in trading. A lot of traders mostly inexperienced ones are also doing it. It only seem wrong to the eyes of the other because they think those people who are doing it are not trying on their own but they are only depending on someone's ability. Well, what can they do? There will always be people who are like that who are lazy.

It might be stupid but somehow it could help you decide on which team you will be betting on especially since you are allowed to choose which anonymous gambler you can copy the bet on whether they are a high roller or not. For me, I think if you compare it to trading, it is more like copying an anonymous trader, but you can choose if they are a huge trader or not.
Still, it is riskier since you did not analyze the game itself and just blindly based your bet on the decision of other people. I think this works great if you have already made your research however you are torn on which team you're betting on and check out others' bet as a tiebreaker or decision breaker.

The major thing that make people to copy some one bet is in two way. One reason is the person is always winning his stake then you can believe the person know what he is doing and will always win more and not to be losing all the time. The other reason is if you have not been winning your bet. To always lose bring you down and you lose confidence to yourself and when you see someone that is winning you can beg to copy the games and bet. I notice that people who are winning alot also hide theirself from the people wanting to copy the games because they say if more people copy the game may fail
