(Odds discussion) Would you still stick in your favorite casino if....?

[alani123]

If it is assumed that the odds difference is based on the casino sites but on the same games and same risk on determining your winning predictions, only one thing would be involved in such circumstances which is going for a reputable casino that would not stress you at your  cashing out private time.
Most times bettors are trapped on sites with an opening of bigger odds.

This is a true point because a casino not respecting its reputation would be negligent enough to scam certain users out of their winning or deposits.

Also though, those that wagger a lot of money on sports would benefit a lot from having better odds. Certain bettors will routinely search for the best odds also when making a prediction. So it really depends on how competitive one wants to be. In reality it's a different play style if someone wants to relax or look into the technicals.

So, you are constantly betting on sports, and you are using Duelbits as your regular one. You are betting a significant amount, like $1,000 for this demo. We have game 2 of the NBA Finals. The point spread is 7.5, and you choose to bet on the Dallas Mavericks.

For Duelbits, it's offering 1.85.
For Stake, it has 1.80.
For Sportsbet, it has 1.90.

Would you shift to the sportsbook with bigger odds or would you stay?

Odds are actually important factor in choosing a sportsbook but it is just one of them and definitely not the most important factor. In addition to the odds, what I look at is ease of deposit and withdrawal and how fast they come as well as how easy it is to navigate the platform to select my game. The casinos you mentioned are popular and reputable and have been there for a while now, so I will not have a problem using any of them and the option I will go for depends on where I have some money in at that point in time because what I do is that there are some specific events I play in some casinos, that is different casinos for different purposes.

In betting, odds and value are everything. If you have the opportunity to place a bet with better odds, you must do so. Another question is choosing a casino/bookmaker. Personally, I use several proven casinos and even if I see better odds in other casinos, I won’t go there because it adds risks plus costs (time, mental effort, transaction fees).
To be honest, I don’t even know what needs to happen for me to move on to a new project, given that the old ones are working perfectly.

Since the bookies that the OP mentioned are known and reputable ones in the forum, I believe I would just choose among those 3, if you are already using them for years. And if there is a new bookie offering much higher odds than those 3, I would say, be very careful as this may be a trap if they are offering higher odds.

It is no doubt if bettors would want more for their money. However, they do need to remind themselves that not all good offers come with fair requirements. Most of the time, new casinos would offer mouth watering odds but there's a catch - either high wagering requirements, higher withdrawal amounts or worst you can't get out your funds because they will find a way not to disburse your funds.

And if there is a new bookie offering much higher odds than those 3, I would say, be very careful as this may be a trap if they are offering higher odds.

One thing about new bookmakers is that they will try all their best to give better offers than the existing bookmakers. One of the better offers they would give are higher odds. The odds will not be far higher than the existing bookmakers but with just slight differences. But if you use huge amount to calculate the profit, the profit difference can also be somehow high on the new bookmaker. The odd should be of little difference, but if it is very high odds than usual, it would likely be a scam bookmaker.

You have to check the reputation of a sportsbook you are using first, and if it passes for you, then you can compare the odds. I think there are only a few bookmakers in the market, so most likely the number of casinos have the same bookmakers. You are right, there should only be a slight difference, but a 5% difference is already big if we are betting a significant amount.

I am not a big bettor, but I've known bettors who bet $1 million, like the famous Drake. If he bets $1 million at odds of 1.85 instead of getting 1.90 from another sportsbook, that's a difference of 5%, which is equivalent to $50,000. That's still a huge amount of money, I believe.


Just a little odds comparison on today's game from the sportsbook mentioned in the OP.

Dallas +5.5

sportsbet  2.10
stake  2.16
duelbits 2.15

[ralle14]

I'd stay with my favorite sportsbook because I bet on different kinds of markets and you'll notice how they'll compensate by juicing the other markets (spread, favorites, live betting, etc.).

Nowadays, there's more to it than simply siding on the sportsbook that offers the best odds, one thing i'd say that's underrated is the sports promotions(early payout, double payout, free bets).

Even if my favorite sportsbook doesn't have the best odds, as long as they offer the best promotions, it's enough to make me stay because it could mean avoiding several losing bets in the future.

Yes, I would definitely stick to my favorite casino, because I trust it. The odds don't matter that much. There might be some shady unknown bookies offering odds like 2.5 or 3 for the same games, but I'm always cautious. If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is a scam. Of course, you could try other casinos, that are offering higher odds, by placing a small bet in them, but I'm just too lazy to do this and I don't care that much about the potential profits. I'm kinda conservative and I would always choose reliability over profit maximization.

[redsun114]

For those that spend most or all of their gambling balances on sports then yes odds are everything. Most crypto sports books are just mirroring odds of other sites or bookie providers but with some odds worsened to account for their profit plus also crypto conversion and operation costs that might be a little higher.

So I would expect odds to be lower. But playing with crypto adds a lot of convenience so I don't look at they ususlly.

The odds do also exist in casino games actually but maybe the popular term that is used here is multiplier, winning chance, and even RTP. Odds are everything if you are gambling for profit because this can determine if how much return of money you will get and as well as if you have a better winning chance in the game or not.

Creating a casino or a sports betting platform, especially a crypto-based one is always not cheap but in my opinion they should not compromise the odds. So that if more people will get attracted to their odds, they can still earn better this way and they will soon recover their ROI's with additional profits on the side.

Absolutely right - in order for me to leave proven bookmakers where I have been playing for a long time to new ones, they must have super favorable quotes. But the higher the quotes (more value), the less likely it is that this is not a scam, so in fact I won’t go anywhere in any case. The paradox is that new projects must offer conditions that are too favorable to be true.

[swogerino]

I participated in a discussion in an ANN thread for one of the sportsbooks listed on the forum, and I see that odds are very important. So, I came up with this question to ask the community: how important are the betting odds to you?

Let me name some of the old sportsbooks on the forum that I'm currently using:

1-Duelbits
2-Stake
3-Sportsbet

Just these three for the purpose of demonstration. So, you are constantly betting on sports, and you are using Duelbits as your regular one. You are betting a significant amount, like $1,000 for this demo. We have game 2 of the NBA Finals. The point spread is 7.5, and you choose to bet on the Dallas Mavericks.

I think very few people would shift away from their favorite casino for such low difference in odds.I can understand that this should be a normal occurrence when odds change a lot like from 1.85 to 2.3 but I assume no one would change casino for a 0.05 change in odds.I personally would never change my favorite casino no matter what odd difference I can find in other casinos,the reason for this is because I lose loyalty points that help me achieve better VIP levels if I change the casino.Most casinos know this too well and they keep offering good loyalty bonuses exactly for this reason,to keep people hooked.

[Bitinity]

I'm not betting much on sports, when I play sports betting, I dont really care about the odds difference because my bet is always small amount only which wont give significant difference when it comes to winning bet. But if I have the chance to bet $1000 or more, for sure I'll try to find the highest odds because the profit difference can be a nice amount. Of course it will also depending on other situation, I mean if I have my money on one specific site already then I think I wont switch to other site just for 1 bet.

You are right. Some newly launched casino sites would likely want to make a bit additional odd to other standard casino sites as a marketing strategy to attract bettors and with the little added odd differences, bettors would always want to bet higher wager than expected so that they can increase the winning and when the bettor looses it means the casino gained more but it won that is to say the bettor won more comparing to bettors who betted on the other gambling sites with the standard odds.

But while looking out for these higher odds on different casinos, it would be stress safe if considered sites reputations.

That's a nice strategy for them. Honestly, I didn't realize that it's the kind of benefit sportsbook are getting, they'll put a very attractive odds to attract bettors and when there's more volume of bettors gambling, they'll get a better profit.

Let's make a illustration, we can compare two casinos, 1 has 10% vig and the 2nd has 5% vig on every win.

If casino 1- has total wagers of $2 million.. that's $200k vig.
if casino 2 - has total wagers of $20 million, that's $1 million vig.

So there's really a big difference here, and volume is the key, and the best way to attract volume is to show them the best odds.

For this odds difference, of course I might consider changing bookie since it’s a huge profit difference which is vital for gamblers that is gambling with house edge. But I doubt the difference is that huge on every games they offered.

Also it depends on the VIP level of my account since the odds difference can be compensated by my VIP rewards so it’s useless for me to change bookies if that’s the case. For me, it’s all about profitability when it comes to choosing the provider. Don’t hesitate to change a bookie as long as it’s both safe and trusted if you can have better profit on it.

Makes absolutely sense and I think you are exactly like myself, and actually for me, I do bet on sports very well, like frequently, But then, I am not really a fan of jumping from one casino to another, paying withdrawal fees to withdraw my money from one casino to another, since I am a type of person that don't like keeping multiple gambling budget, or let me just say that, I am not rich yet, so it's pretty hard for me to budget money for gambling in the amount that will be high enough to keep across different casinos.

So, I simply keep my gambling funds on one casino and do not withdraw from there unless I win a significant and withdrawable amount of money, else, I will just play there until my entire balance turns zero.
And Secondly, like you've said, I also don't do high roller betting, the money I bet on sports are usually small amount of money, in the sense that, even if there is an odd difference between casinos, chasing that won't make any much or noticeable difference since the amount I use to bet is not high enough.
So, I simply just stick with and on the casino Ive initially choosen to play on.

For your regular gambler it does not make much sense to switch between sportbooks, just because of a small difference between the odds offered in a particular match, so it is better to stick with what you know so you can avoid making unnecessary mistakes, but if we are talking about a professional sport bettor or at least someone trying to reach that goal, then they do not really have any option other than to do this in an effort to become profitable.

[darkangel11]

If the difference was as small as you're showing it, so 0.05, I wouldn't bother.
It would cost me more to move my money elsewhere, create a new account, risk going through KYC there, pay all the transaction fees, wait and check if it arrived... That's hours lost that I could spend elsewhere doing something I actually like doing.
also, I don't bet a lot so small difference in payout would maybe be a few dollars if I managed to win. Still less than fees cost.

[Doan9269]

It all depends on my choice and what i want at that particular moment, if i see at as still part of my expectations, then i see nothing bad in it than to stay and continue with my gambling, but as for some cases with other gamblers, they cant wait all because they wanted to use that as the only reason for their stake on bet considering the odd, we all have our respective opinions.

Okay, it's one of the reasons why we should stay, and the loyalty promotion as well where you get benefits for being loyal to the sportsbook. For me, I also experienced receiving some free bets from one of the sportsbooks I use. They're not so big, but it's appreciated since it's free.

The boost is what I really like, getting 2.00 from 1.90 is already big because that extra 10% is good enough, especially if betting a significant amount of money. I think the reputation of the casino is also very important, like the fast release of withdrawals and other related things, so I understand why you'd stay.
