What's your take?

[piebeyb]

Personally, I usually look for matches that are a little complicated and bet with odds above 1.5, but if it is below that, I usually combine it with other matches, so to make it profitable for me compared to betting on one bet with odds below 1.5, it is clearly a loss because I bet with a small bet, Unless I'm betting a lot of money, I'll probably be safe looking for odds below 1.5, even though it's not guaranteed that I'll win, that's how gambling is, nothing can be predicted and we can only analyze and predict.

There are many matches where we can see the club that is the favorite actually lose to the club that is not the favorite or end in a draw, that's why I prefer to bet close to a few minutes before the match starts. At least I know which players will be fielded too, it's important for me Looking at it, however, analysis and doing research are also necessary so that you don't choose the wrong club to bet on, that's why every sports bet is also inseparable from luck, even though this gambling doesn't require 100% luck, the final result is luck that determines it. The point is that winning and losing is part of gambling so just enjoy it.

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.

I’m not how you do gambling but obviously the lower the odds means the higher percentage you will win. There’s no guarantee win on any gambling but there’s a choice to bet on less risky way and that is by choosing low odds. Bookmaker set an odds based on the statistics of the game which gives a huge impact to the outcome of the game.

If you are a gambler. A lower odds with high chance of winning is much better on higher odds with low chance of winning because having profit is the most important thing to consider and not the potential big outcome.

Usually I always choose games with the odds between 1.7x to 2.3x.
But if I have confident that a team will definitely win in a match, I will bet on that even with small payouts -  with note, the minimum payout is not below 1.5x, because I dont think its worth the risk when betting on the odds below 1.5x.
And sometimes I also choose markets with the big odds above 2.5x, but only bet on parlays, not single bets.

I understand your stand point but no strategy works out in gambling. Whichever strategy you intend to use you will not always win. I have always advocated that every gambler should approach gambling with the mindset that you will lose. With such a mindset, losing will not be a problem. When you place a bet with the mind that the money is not coming back you will be guided with how much you stake and also how you react when you lose. For a month now, I have tried different betting strategies yet I haven't recorded any significant win. I tried martingale no result. I tried rollover also no result.

I have come to realize that you need only luck to win as you mentioned. No amount of research and analysis that can guarantee you winning. This is so because there are a lot of unforeseen variables that influences a match result and this makes it difficult to rely on research alone to win. If you are lucky, you will win and if you are not lucky, you can't win.

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.

         -   To be honest, I'm not really into sports betting; I only play there once, as it's too casual, and I'm not that familiar with the sports teams there. That's why I often just play slot games because there is no hassle.

That's why sometimes many gamblers who are obsessed with sports bet games are surprised; that's what I don't understand, and I'm also surprised that when I see someone winning, the amount won is the same.

[Blitzboy]

Everyone wants betting shortcuts. It seems obvious to stick with the major names with those low chances. As a business veteran, I can assure you that same logic may burn you on the pitch. Underdogs? They constantly upset the apple cart, rendering "safe" bets useless.

The problem is assuming you can outwit the system. Like the stock market, it seems predictable but can cause whiplash if not watched. Smart individuals like myself dont play favorites. We bet broadly to reduce risk. You must study the game and see the complete field before betting on Tottenham vs. Newcastle.

But its not simply risk. Understand that sport, like business, is unpredictable. Before betting big on those low odds, remember that I've seen titans collapse. A smart bettor considers and studies. Sometimes the big payday arrives unexpectedly.

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.

Facts on the ground and this can be seen from the odds that have been determined for certain clubs, for example: Newcastle vs. Tottenham. It can be seen from several meetings between these two clubs that Newcastle beat Tottenham with a score of 6-1, This proves that Newcastle has shown the ability to play well. This happened on 23/04/2023, even though in the match on 03/04/2022 in the Premier League, Tottenham were able to beat Newcastle 5-1, If I predict between Newcastle vs. Tottenham, both are the best clubs and both are equally strong in several matches.

Talking about small and big odds, although it doesn't guarantee the final result, I think the low and high odds are based on the points and ranking of the club, many sports casinos put odds like that, the fact high odds will end the match with a lead.

Therefore, if you want to bet on Newcastle vs. Tottenham on 13/04/2024 in the upcoming Premier League, try betting according to your own beliefs and instincts for them, don't rely on odds, who knows, luck will be on your side on 13/04/2024.

Totally get where you're coming from. Betting on low odds feels like a safer bet, right? But as you pointed out. Staking big on small odds is a game of slim margins. Sure, the logic is you win more often, but when the upset hits, it hits hard.

One thing i do is, if i want to bet on a match i will compare the odds from different sportsbook and only bet in that which offers a bigger odd, 3% or more than the average. Otherwise i don't bet.

Most at times, we may get very confident during placing the bet for our expected team to win just after the final witsle, the match might end in a draw or favors the oppositor. We should also include that having an odd as low as 1.3x and staking on it with a minimum amount of N1,000,000 which I know a few people who does it, will return a profit of N 300,000 on a single bet, that's a 30% profit, we can't just rely on the fact it doesn't worth the risk.

I don't see anything difficult with trying to know the outcome of a particular match in sport betting. Sport betting is one of the easiest bets we can play because getting to win is not far from 80% most time. The mistakes many people make us greedy of winning continually. Some are so greedy that would want to make a win of 200k at these time with small bankroll. Thing does not work like that and doesn't have to see it has too late for us to make sure that we such kind of betting would not works for us. It may work for one in one million gamblers and maybe in every 10 months. We don't need to gamble too much and use good funds that would fetch us good earnings.

In this case should we blame them or the betting sites, cause those guys are smart enough, once they understand their is an 80% chances for the bigger team to win, they reduce the odds to 1.06 odds which will not amount to something significant and these gamblers are left with no better option than to compile more games to maximize the output, It may not be as a result of being greedy at times but most people aswell are cooperate of greedy profits.

When odds are small volatility is lower, so it's easier to predict how your bank roll will be in several bets. While when odds are high, volatility is higher and it's more difficult to guess if you will be in profit or totally rekt. That's why you should remain cautious and only bet small stake on those bets. All is about money management like for trading finally.

[topbitcoin]

Of course, whatever the odds are in a match and if it's a strong and weak ti match, it still can't be confirmed because back again the problem of gambling is only on luck alone, the ball is round and can not be in accordance with what we expect in a match on the field, often a weak team match with a strong team does not match expectations, which we consider weak sometimes gets a win or a draw, I mean this kind of thing is quite difficult especially in matches that have very small odds with each other, there is no advantage that can be seen here no matter how much money you put in 1.3 and 1.5 it will be very difficult. If you want to calculate personally in the analysis, you need to look at the outline of the team, whether or not it is worth the probability that can be obtained, Newcastle and Tottenham are very competitive and cannot be easily predicted because both are quite strong in the current frame.

You need to look at the outline first, basically the smaller odds have a much greater probability of winning so it is possible if using big money can get a decent profit even though it is 1.3, but it will be a mistake if you think only on profit and the basics of betting are no longer for fun this will involve a lot of emotions if you lose because it includes the math of profit.

Doing an extra research may help before deciding if how you think will be your take in placing the amount of money that you'll going to risk, as mentioned,  gambling always have risk behind no matter how little or big the odds there's no assurance that you'll going to win, understanding the possibility and anticipating what might be the value of risk to take is very important,  we all know that in sports betting upset also happened.

Most of the time, it happened in a most unexpected  situation,  though  bookies understand how to play with gamblers emotions its a must that each gamblers  should work harder when picking the sports that they'll be going to bet on, the more you understand the game the better the assessment that you can take.

You are just there, lolz. Odd can be one factor that determines the volatility in gambling. though I know the higher the odd there riskier them game but we just play and hope for the best because some times the less risky games will come with small offer  and still disappoint you. I have had several issues of this my explanation by choosing a smaller odd to play thinking it will be more better , but it all didn't end well. So it's difficult.

[ralle14]

Doing it every other time is fine because there are days when matches are too chalked and it's the best bet to take than to go for a toss-up play. If you're placing those bets regularly, always prepare for the worse results because your bankroll can quickly plummet with that strategy as favorites will eventually have a letdown day and sometimes would go on to lose more matches than you'd think. Not all favorites can deliver our expectations and only a few teams can remain consistent within their league.

[Obari]

It seems, you’re speaking more from experience and from some point of similar experiences and I just have to add that, nothing is certain in gambling as even very small odds also can lose a game. Gambling especially soccer gambling, is a typical example of the uncertainty we talk about always in gambling as not even the players are aware of the outcome of the match, as the both parties playing the match, are competing hard to get a win making decisions hard most times for gamblers.

Nothing, absolutely nothing is certain in gambling and as such, we ought to do some analysis while still hoping for a good luck and positive outcome from the game.

I think we have to do what is working for us and not following others to do what they're doing. When gambling we depend on our luck and every individual doesn't have the same luck therefore I'll say everyone should gamble the way that they're making profit as there's no guaranteed way of gambling that'll make us to make profit. You can bet on the big teams to win but that'll be the day that the smaller team is going to win or draw with the big team that was winning every team they played.

The higher the risks the bigger the reward, when you risk more money you'll be rewarded with a big win if you win and this is the reason some individuals love to bet with a bigger amount of money. I'll risk a bigger amount of money on a smaller odds instead of risking big odds with small money as this type of bet hardly give those playing it wins but when it gives you, you'll win a very big amount of money.

[Strongkored]

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.

I do it randomly, sometimes betting on small odds and certainly not those below 1.30 because it's not worth it at all and sometimes on big odds and also sometimes on multi but with a smaller amount of money bet because I just want to test my luck.
Bettors certainly have their own preferences and sometimes can even do what is not usually done because they believe in something.
As you said, betting on small odds is sometimes not even worth it at all because bettors often to get bigger profits bet with big money and even the smallest odds will not provide certainty of winning so that the greater the loss obtained than if you win, I mean even a businessman only targets what percentage of profit so if it is only below 10% with a large amount of money it is not worth doing especially in gambling where the chances of winning will still be 50/50 even at odds of 1.01.

And sometimes I also choose markets with the big odds above 2.5x, but only bet on parlays, not single bets.

Wow! You are a high-risk taker but I do agree with you. Sometimes I also do not take x1.30 below because those are the odds that seem to be unprofitable when you are betting lower amounts. But, if I do need a boost in my parlay, I would probably add them. Just like in player props, if you want a higher percentage of wins, take the stats of players in lower amounts like x1.20 - x1.30 only, then combine them all. It could total to x3.00 - x5.00 depending on the number of players and stats that you will add.
But when it comes to team picks and I see favorites at low amounts of profits, I don't usually parlay them. I'd rather add some spreads and take the risk up to x1.4x and above. 3 team picks will probably take you to x2.5+ and that will probably win considering how the spreads are given.
Sports betting is analytical game but there are times we need to have courage and take a bit of that risk.

It's also called gambling, everything that is at stake has no certainty. Basically, gamblers have their analysis and instincts regarding the team they will choose.
betting bigger for smaller Odds will not minimize the risk, but in my opinion, it increases the risk. we can bet on other options like both teams to score or first and last goals.
once again it still cannot provide certainty of victory. The odds offered are only estimates based on statistics. and in the field, sometimes the readiness of each team will not always be the same in every match.

That's right, only gambling has two types, if I may say so: playing with other players, and playing against the system.
I think that gambling, where a player plays against other players, is more exciting and gambling.
After all, not only skills and strategy are important here, but also the ability to read the opponent, predict his moves. It's like a real intellectual duel, where everyone tries to outwit or outwit the other.

And in gambling, where the player plays against the system, everything seems more predictable and depends on luck. Although there is also its own charm here - the desire to unravel the laws of chance and defeat the system itself. In both cases, it is important to remember the measure and control your actions so as not to drown in the world of excitement.
