Why do you favor betting on spesific sport?

[Slow death]

Of course it would really be that something that interesting on betting on sports
which is something that you do have the idea on how its been played and you do know on a certain team or player compared when you do make out bets
which you dont even know on who they are or on whats the complete mechanics of a certain game.

in my opinion, the ideal is always to bet on the games of teams that the person knows very well, for example in the Spanish league ( la liga ), the ideal is always to bet on real madrid and barcelona because it is easier to get a lot of information about each player of the team, in the Italian league (serie A), the ideal is to bet on games involving Inter, Milan, Napoli, Juventus, Roma and Lazio, because it is easier to know how each player plays in these teams, in Franca PSG, in Germany Dortmund and bayern, in premier league liverpool, tottenham, chelsea, manchester city and united, arsenal and now newcastle. that's because when the person focuses on knowing everything about the top teams then it becomes easier for the person to bet

when people start placing bets on many teams and they don't do it constantly, something for example today they bet on aston villa against everton, 5 days later they will bet on wolves against wes ham so that person has very little time to analyze and knowing everything about the teams he is going to bet on, is very different from always choosing only the games in which the big teams are involved against other teams, for example in an arsenal game against wolves, the person already knows all the arsenal players, its strengths and weaknesses and with that you only need to do a little analysis about wolves

Some gambler bet on someone else sports bet tips though. Its kind of leap of faith upon seeing the tipsters or those who offer fixed matches thread which a gambler will just dive into it.

I have some experience in this from baseball to soccer. I know how the game is played once upon a time when were kids we were influenced to watch events in school but national or international teams is out of my league. Didn't stop me from betting the sports though.

I am just curious to know why people favor one Sport over another, when it comes to betting? Is there specific Sport that increase your win chance or do you bet on those Sport for other reasons?

I know most people will favor certain Sport, because they know more about the players or the teams and information is power, when it comes to betting... but some Sport are 50/50 when it comes to the outcome of the match. (One lucky punch or kick can make a underdog a champion)

I guess it will be more odd if you just bet even if you don’t know the whole thing about that sport, it’s like putting yourself at its losing end even if the betting has not yet started. That’s why most of us here would only want to bet on the games that we are also familiar of, on the game that we have certain favorites that are most likely to win and manipulate the game. You know, it’s useless to bet and put your money at risk when you don’t have any idea of the game you played, you are increasing your risk of losing, even though some games like this would still end up uncertainly.

I couldn't agree more! I once made the mistake of betting on a sport that I knew absolutely nothing about. I thought I was feeling lucky that day, so I decided to take a chance. Well, let's just say that luck wasn't on my side that day. I ended up losing a significant amount, and it was a tough lesson to learn.

That experience taught me to never bet on anything unless I knew what I was doing. It's not worth betting on a sport if you don't know the rules, strategies, and players involved. The same goes for making any kind of wager, if you don't know who or what you're betting on, then there's no way it can end well!

As long as that was a one-time thing then I do not really see anything wrong with that, after all we are talking about gambling here, a hobby in which we take risks just to have a good time.

But I do agree that when it comes to sports betting it is better for you to do so in a sport you know very well, or that at least you like to watch, this way you can significantly increase the fun you get when watching the different matches, as now you are watching your favorite sport not only because you like it but now you have something at stake, increasing your fun manyfold.

[jrrsparkles]

Most probable reason is they beleive that they know that game much better and also about the team they are going against so it's most likely they will bet on the sports they are watching most often. Anyway 50/50 chances games look like easy chance but its not cause one small move from the least favourite can make them to move in a comfortable position. But the reason is simple we believe we know the game deeper than most people out there.

We believe that once we identify the sports that are no longer a 50/50 chance, we can gain an advantage, and focusing on just a few sports in sports betting increases our chances of success. The reality is, the majority of sports bettors are losing money, which is enough for sportsbooks to stay in operation for a long period. If we are one of the few who can make a living in sports, then we can live a wonderful life as a successful professional sports bettor.

Those who are serious in sports betting are dreaming of making a living in sports betting, that's my ultimate goal as well.

Gamblers have a tendency to bet on certain games. Because they can use both their skills and knowledge. Having a good idea about the team players in particular is able to have a deep understanding of the team statistics. Gamblers can be ahead if they place bets with these factors in mind. Moreover, many gamblers may have a personal attraction to certain teams. Where they feel comfortable for betting. When a gambler has a good knowledge of all aspects of a team, he can easily bet on that team. But it is true that those gamblers do not always win in betting. Because there will be risk in gambling, moreover, it is not always expected to win or lose based on information and data because at present the number of fixed matches are not less.

Yes, you are right, sports betting is actually easier for people who know how to play and even know about the strength of the team or athlete we are choosing to bet on, while we can get wins easier because we can guess than playing sports, which is difficult for us to guess how to play, let alone to win. the game is also difficult to predict that's why most people prefer certain sports betting.

I also prefer betting on certain sports, for example football, because why do I bet on sports that I don't know how to play and also don't recognize the strength of the team or athlete we choose, to be honest, I have tried betting on UFC bets but I don't know the strength of the opponent, so I have lost. on that bet. lol

First, for cases where I can provide answers via private messages as I experienced, that I gamble not as a job and never think of it as an addiction, so when I decide to place bets only on gambling which I like. For example, like placing bets on football, playing poker or slot games, I do this in my free time and usually not routinely.

But actually I prefer to place bets on football, the reason is because my hobby is watching and I like to make predictions and besides football is the most popular sport in our area and many people place bets online and in traditional ways.

I know most people will favor certain Sport, because they know more about the players or the teams and information is power, when it comes to betting... but some Sport are 50/50 when it comes to the outcome of the match. (One lucky punch or kick can make a underdog a champion)

For me betting on football is much fairer and it's easier for us to make predictions because we really like football and betting on football also has several betting methods, both guessing the score and placing winning bets and so on. Whereas Poker and Slots are only played occasionally according to certain interests and conditions of the atmosphere.

Sure, sports betting enthusiasts think they're experts, placing wagers like champs. But, folks, even the smartest fan can get slammed by a shocking outcome. That's why it's called "sports betting" – not "sports certainties"!

Confidence in our wisdom and skills? Great. But let's not ignore sports' wild side. A tiny twist or surprise injury can flip the game, no matter how well we know the players.

Dreaming big, aiming for sports betting stardom? Go for it. But stay grounded, accept the risks and curveballs. Remember, "don't count chickens before they hatch" – or winnings before the final whistle

Yes! I was lucky enough to learn my lesson after that one time. I totally get that gambling is meant to be fun, but it's definitely not a good idea to ignore the odds. After all, the whole point of gambling is to take a chance and hope that we come out on top in the end. But that doesn't mean we should throw caution to the wind and bet recklessly.

But I do agree that when it comes to sports betting it is better for you to do so in a sport you know very well, or that at least you like to watch, this way you can significantly increase the fun you get when watching the different matches, as now you are watching your favorite sport not only because you like it but now you have something at stake, increasing your fun manyfold.

You're totally right, my friend! There's no denying that sports betting can take the excitement of the game to a whole new level. But let's face it, nothing beats the thrill of watching your favorite team win AND cashing in on a winning bet at the same time!  😎

That should be everyone's attitude so they won't be disappointed if they lose the bet.
Let us say, you are living and breathing that sports, and you still lose. Remember, there are some angles that you can't be in control of.
Just like you said, unknown injuries, last minute change of lineup of athletes, or new coach, or maybe weather can influence the outcome.
But of course, if you are familiar with the sports and athletes involved, you are more comfortable betting on that sports.
Also, most of the time, if you have favorite sports, you will also form a "bond" to some athletes, like you will be rooting for them as if they are your friends.

Very well said my friend, over confidence kills, and not like I was told, it's something I've experienced myself, really a bitter experience for me last year, I've learnt to not be so over confident in believing I have exactly the right predictions for the outcome any game or match..

Any thing can cause an upset in sports, and it's something bettors should always have in mind while placing bets, never go all in on a team due to your over confidence for them to win, you might just end up disappointed, and if worst, hospitalized like I was last year, when I lost 3 whooping thousand dollars, money I pulled out from my business, solely to try to make some profit from sports betting so as to help me expand the business.

No one should be having that kind of goal for their financial security cause living out of money comes only from gambling is close to impossible.

Yes there are professional gamblers but they do have other sources of income so they keep focusing on gambling even if they lose their entire balance they won't starve because of the other revenue streams.

Having that confidence on something you are sure off isnt really that bad but on the time that you would really be coming into a point where overconfidence would kick in, then the situation didnt go as expected or planned then this is where huge disappointment and anger would really be able to  felt just because you would really be having those main thoughts on mind that you had done the bad or wrong thing.
When it comes to sports betting then it would be always recommendable on betting on sports which you do know that you are really that capable or you do have the knowledge into it.
There's no fun when you do put up a bet on a game which you didnt even know, it does really remove the real essence of betting in the first place.

We do know that everything or anything could happen in a snap and this what makes even more interesting and this is the real essence of gambling or betting
which you would be able to felt up the thrill because you do know the game you are putting your bet on compared to those who are none.

I don't know how long they can survive with their best financial status if basically they can't control their income and expenses because of gambling. Such gamblers are bad, in fact I really believe they are problem gamblers in the end although some would consider them professional gamblers. So, if you find gamblers who fail to control their spending until their balance is empty, then rest assured they are problem gamblers even if they have other sources of income.

About specific sports betting, it really depends on what you are passionate about. If you love football, then you shouldn't bet on horse racing, it's because you may not have much knowledge about it. In essence, betting on your favorite sport is because you have special knowledge of the sport and you can make your predictions based on facts, not luck.

[lizarder]

Any thing can cause an upset in sports, and it's something bettors should always have in mind while placing bets, never go all in on a team due to your over confidence for them to win, you might just end up disappointed, and if worst, hospitalized like I was last year, when I lost 3 whooping thousand dollars, money I pulled out from my business, solely to try to make some profit from sports betting so as to help me expand the business.

I'm starting to realize that you are an active gambler assuming you are losing money on sports bets placed. To be honest, it's hard to find a gamble that can provide big profits and hope for several wins and after that you will lose again, in the end we are still among the losers in gambling. But talking about gambling, football is a fairer bet in my opinion, because almost everyone likes this sport and even betting on football is easier to predict even though it's not always true.

But still don't over bet because it will bring big disappointment when we lose the bet, gamble according to your ability to lose and don't push blindly, because all of us also have to realize that no gambling will always lead us to profits

[Davidvictorson]

When you have over five different sports books in your street and everyday you see young people going in and coming out betting on football you cannot just but come under peer pressure to follow the norm. Football is our thing and the sports books centers are filled up anytime there is an EPL, Championship or other  games. We love the sport despite my country still performing terrible at it.

[Porfirii]

If I had to choose betting on a specific sport, I would favor football because this is the one that I enjoy most watching. Another reason could be that this is the sport I know more info about, but to be honest I don't think that this makes any difference when it comes to betting, so I'm not a big fan of believing in a false control over the chance I don't have.

Unless you have insider info (and this would suppose that the bet would be illegal), my advice is to bet just for fun, and don't believe that you have high chances to win because you know a lot about one specific sport or another.
