What's your take?

[Obim34]

My topic is based on those who are majorly into sports betting, we know in this aspect of gambling it is very risky to predict the outcome of any game from both teams to score, over and under, straight win and many more. Most times we bet on the big teams to win and the reverse becomes the result, either the small teams securing the win or ending in a draw.

Straight to the point most people are afraid of compiling big odds and now decide to go for lower odds with huge staking power which is not even guaranteed to give the predicted results. For example, there could be a match between Newcastle VS Tottenham Hotspur and both teams are having 1.5 and 1.3 odds respectively, a gambler may decide to bet only on Tottenham to straight win by only selecting this one game on his slip, what is your take on this kind of gambling, risking bigger money on some low odds with a small potential win and still the possibility of your pick to win is not even certain.

what is your take on this kind of gambling, risking bigger money on some low odds with a small potential win and still the possibility of your pick to win is not even certain.

If a gambler like, he should go for big odds, small odds, big teams or even small team as well as compiling several games together on a single bet or even staking a single game, if he will win, then there's nothing to stop him from winning and same way from loosing, we are gambling because we don't even know about the outcome of the bet we are playing, sport betting particularly is a game that cannot be manipulated, what you play is what you see and you will either win or loose even though you buy prediction games.

I don't like betting on much games, just one or two is cool with me. This enables me to be able to control my emotion and accept little wins. This is because, the more games that you bet on a single game, the lower your chance of winning. However, some gamblers are lucky enough to win all the games, and that is where they hit it big.

I love placing my bet, and get the outcome. Not waiting for somedays before I see the end of the game. Some games might not play out as predicted, this is why I don't stake my point on more than one or two matches. Lower odds are good, but it is gamble and sometimes bigger odds win too.

[Apocollapse]

I'm not favor betting on low odds, I either go bet on underdog or parlay bet.

Bet on underdog, usually the odds is higher than @2.00 which is already good enough.

But when I see there are many favorite teams that convincing to win, so I will combine all the matches instead of hoping to get odds below than @1.50.

I've seen many match where the underdog pull the upset, so it's not wise to bet huge amount to earn small return.

[Findingnemo]

Betting on lower odd games may seem to be risk free approach on paper while it's not in the reality. As you said an underdog can beat champion sides that can change the whole dynamics of betting while it's not everyday scenario that stage of uncertainty and unpredictability keeps the gambling exciting no matter what and one who tries to outperform the system will taste the failure at the end.

I think that's the whole system and it's designed that way and the crazy thing is that when you tend to bet with high staking power with lesser odds and the game don't go the way you planned the effect on the gambler then to be more destructive and that's a typical example of gambling for money because if you were actually planning for fun the fear of odds won't be a thing with you because you can boldly pick any odds as there is no guarantee to the winning and also the money used for staking it will be very small to avoid any heartbreaks.

Whenever the odds arent really that too far off then i do usually skip off this kind of bet on which you could really be having a hard time on choosing on which team would really be having that kind of chance to win up.
Of course people would really be sticking into those favorites despite of the low odds then some people do consider on having that kind of all in kind of bet on which i could say that it wont really be something that will really be recommended on which we know that upsets could really happen and just like been said that if these odds arent that too far off then they are somewhat match and its hard to distinguish not until you've seen the game live. Just like been said that i do usually skip out this kind of betting if odds arent that too far gapped. Also, having that below 1.5x odds isnt something that im interested on betting into 1.8-2
then i might reconsider.

In betting then you should really be that always be wary about those possibility of upsets on which no matter how far those underdogs as long the game isnt over yet
then there's always the chance of comeback. Betting on all in is never been that recommended.

Usually I prefer to bet with odds above @1.50 rather than lower as long as I believe the team will win so I will bet even with small capital, it is not a problem because it can be bet again in the next match.
I can even look for other odds that are likely to win according to my own analysis but in sports betting I prefer to parlay rather than single because of the accumulation of large enough odds.

Maybe you don't feel satisfied with the small odds of small bets, but when you bet big then even small odds will feel, it comes back to you when you are ready to lose and the favorite team loses unexpectedly, especially in Premier League matches.

At first I think it all depends on one's point of view. On my habits in choosing teams to bet on. I tend to choose teams with small odds by placing large bets rather than choosing teams with large odds.
Of course, I made this decision after going through various analyzes in looking at the statistics of the two teams.
For me, it is a personal decision of people in betting who are ready to lose if the results do not match what was predicted.

Another habit, I even prefer to bet on matches in leagues that are not well known.
In big leagues where big teams compete, I don't care what the odds are given to the team that I predict will win.

[cabron]

It often varies according to the kind of sport but with the kind of odds you are saying such as 1.5 and 1.3 is riskier for neither sport.
for boxing like 1.4 vs 2.5, its often very accurate that bookmakers will favor the favorite and most likely the skilled fighter.

In the fight of  Francis Ngannou 4.20 vs Anthony Joshua 1.X, its pretty clear its AJ's side that the bookmaker has set. The confidence in Francis however is growing because of how he knocked out Fury that's why they are banking on him. But normally the bookmaker is right.

What you are talking about is generally referred to as single betting and it is better, easier to win it than to bet on multiple. Betting in such way limit the chances of any other game interfering with it and thereby causing losing of the slip. Some gamblers prefer that they but the shortcoming is that it odd is reduced and therefore you will have to increase your staking power unlike in multiple bet where with like bankroll you could have a reasonable amount of potential profit  

So to choose only Tottenham Hotspur to bet means there are no bonus to the odd and it will not have the kind of potential winning that multiple bet will have. However, most gamblers who have won their bets have done that through single betting not multiple bet slip.

 Like you said, there are times when you pick a smaller odd to win and it has enough potential to do so but since football is full of surprises, you end up seeing the reverse. I see sports  betting as a thing of luck and little of how well you can predict the game. It was before I'd take like seven or six selections with a mix of odds of 2.00 and 1.6 or lower but recently, I opt for just three selections whose odds when combined end up in 5.00 and stake with a big amount.

There is no such thing as "certain win" in gambling. There is always some kind of luck element in every game. Lets's say there is another game between Spain and San Marino and the odds are 1.01 for Spain and 15 for San Marino. What would be your choice? Would you bet on Spain for a sure win? If you win you'll only make 1%. What if Spain don't use their main players and they let the substitutes play instead? What if the game ends 0-0? See? There are many potential surprises in every game you can't think of. That's why we call it gambling. If you want to predict the results 99%, then get a job because you'll exactly know what you'll earn from it.

My opinion on this is that this category of gamblers are not greedy gamblers because they are just okay with winning any amounts that they can win from gambling and not necessarily chasing after huge odds. In a choice between winning small and then losing completely I would choose winning small because winning small is still a win and will always be better than a loss. There are gamblers who will prefer the choice to try to win big always, but when you win small consistently, you can be a more profitable gambler than a gambler who aims to win big and rarely wins.

In football, we usually bet on teams that have low odds which we hope will win, because the bookies will be aware of the chances of winning for a team when competing. But you are right, not everything goes well, there are times when we are shown something very surprising, where a big team has to lose when facing a small team which in terms of odds, the small team has very big odds if we bet on them.

You bet on a multibet so from small odds it can become big if we bet on several matches. I also often do the same thing, I choose teams that have a big chance of winning and bet on multibet. However, this doesn't always mean victory, sometimes there are matches where big teams have to be held to a draw or even lose to teams that are smaller than them. There are many factors that cause this, one of which is luck which favors weak teams, so that big teams that have a greater chance of winning experience defeat or unsatisfactory results.

Anyone who thinks in the line of thought that low odds are risks free is doing so at there own risk if they are gamblers and if they be adviser's it then means that they are giving out fake and falsely assumptions opinions, it lack the statistical data to complement it realities, because even though lower odds are given to the stronger team, it doesn't eliminate the chances that comes along the game.
I think a more flexible words to be used for bet on lower odds is to be selecting the stronger team and nothing more than that, but as long as it football, anything can happen within the 90+ minutes of the game

I used to believe like that.I have completely changed my mind,it is not worthy to play a lot of money in a small odd which has risks despite being a small odd,and I think it is better to play little money every day and put a big parlay with a lot of games over 2 goals or as both teams to score which are the most common outcomes for the majority of the games played,of course some leagues score very low amount of goals but I am talking about the major 5 leagues in Europe and the European competitions,we have seen that the most outcomes are both teams to score and over 2 goals so I would rather spend little money daily rather than losing a lot at once.There is no certain pick,if you see Basketball and Tennis games usually there are surprises there from teams with odds 1.10 and lower.

[|MINER|]

Actually, I can't say exactly how many odd takes I will do in a match.  It varies from match to match so when I think a certain team will win that match I don't have a high odds.  On the other hand, when I have doubts about which team will win based on the performance of the two teams, I go for lower odds. So it will be difficult for me to say which or how many odds I will take in any match

[Ultegra134]

If the lower-odd one is more likely to win, I'd go for that one. I'm not really knowledgeable about other football teams except the ones in my country's league; these are the only ones I engage with in sports betting, but I tend to observe the week's matches and choose the ones that are at least more likely to return a positive result based on their performance and my experience. Betting on the most superior team and often skipping matches that are harder to come up with a result.

Thus, I'd rather guarantee I get a win, by opting for smaller odds, than taking greater risks with higher odds.

[salad daging]

It is clear with low odds that we will consider it a win because this prediction says the favorite team but in this match it is unpredictable but in any football betting you can do and which team you choose.

When the two teams are evenly matched then it is in the individual's choice there are times when they bet on both teams scoring or asian/handicap - over/under.

While there will be more people choosing high odds because they want a bigger chance, choosing a high odds team also comes with the risk that they will lose and vice versa with the same odds, it's just that we can assume a bigger chance at small odds.
