basketball or football: Which sport is more profitable in relation to sports bet

[Baofeng]

~snip~

It really depends on the gambler on what sports he is well acquainted off. Personally, i bet mostly on basketball as this sport is really popular in our country and also i play basketball and i know all the rules pertaining to it so this gives me advantage on betting on basketball.

Bottom line, do not bet on sports which you don't know as you will only loss some money in the process.

This, it really up to the gamblers on which particular sports he is comfortable betting because he had followed that sports for many years. And for us basketball and boxing fans, we might have been following it since we are kids and so with grew with them and know almost all the team.

Perhaps there are gamblers who take risk and bet on sports that they didn't know or just copy someone's else bet. But that is a recipe for disaster and not a wise move. So for me, I do like basketball too so this is the sports that I'm leaning in sports betting, and of course boxing.

[Gozie51]

however I have heard from my work colleagues that in basketball, like the moves are very fast, the court is small in relation to the field, players can bet on these moves to obtain advantages over bets based on guesses. Do you agree with this friend of mine?

He said that basketball is more profitable than football because of this.

The size of the basketball court is not the criteria to say it turns out faster advantage because of the distance covered compared to football. I don't think so because football field despite being bigger than basketball court has multiple options to explore in a particular game. You can bet on the player to score in the particular match, how many goals that would be scored, kicks or corner kicks, throwing from the match etc. The options in football bet are numerous so it just depends your preference between both games and most likely your colleagues have the preference for basketball not because of the size of the court against football field.

Every now and then I make some football bets, betting on my club that I support for now.

You probably not exploring many other options in the game you bet. Maybe you bet on just 1, 2, x1,x2 options. There are different options you can bet in a game that will increase the odds like 1andgg ov2.5 etc, in a match you have multiple options but the higher risk you take, the more your losing chances increase.

However, I don't watch basketball and I don't know the basic rules of this sport, despite it being fun.

The best way to be successful in what you are doing is to stick to what you know how to do go about it. If you are already use to football betting then it would be easier to navigate around it including how to bet on it and research on the sites etc. However, there is room for learning more sports if you desire to but you have to commit your time to it accordingly.

I'm not familiar with basketball; thus, I wouldn't take my word for it, but I just don't see how basketball may be more profitable than football. What's the difference between them that distinguishes basketball as more profitable? I don't quite get what your friend is claiming about the moves being faster due to the court's smaller size in relation to the football field. Moreover, as another user already mentioned, football is a lot more popular, and I'm seeing far more matches than in basketball; more games mean more options, thus greater probabilities of winning. Apart from that, I can't distinguish any other significant differences.

you have to ask yourself why did you start gambling in the first place? i have personally never met anyone who gambles in sports as a source of income unless you facilitate the gambling events yourself but those who only participate in gambling only do that for fun.

if you will gamble then make sure it is with something you find entertainment with lest you want to bet on something you don't even watch and end up betting on the wrong choice

If we are going to talk about the probability of more wins that you could Experience meaning it could be easily calculated with knowing how much the games are doing per year.

So let’s say it is one year timeframe.
Now we need to decide what association we are going to do whether is going to be with NBA or the college basketball only anything like that. Would it be NFL?

We are going to average that I think the total number of games that could happen ranges from 80 to 120 for NBA. And then for football, I think it’s around 300.

So if we just look at the total games, i think you could be more profitable in the 300 times that you can get compared to 100.

The ideal would be for each player to bet on what he has the most affinity for and identifies with the most, i.e I really like football, so the tendency would be to bet on football, however I have heard from my work colleagues that in basketball, like the moves are very fast, the court is small in relation to the field, players can bet on these moves to obtain advantages over bets based on guesses. Do you agree with this friend of mine?

regardless of which betting option is better than the other, it's best you stick to what you're comfortable with.for some of us that came into the betting business knowing only about sports betting and virtual, it's hard to shift attention into trying another betting option most expecially when you're talking about a sports that you're not conversant with how it's being played like the basketball. Don't be surprised that some people that bets on basketball don't know how sports betting works and have never staked a bet on it. Even in sports betting which is very popular and easier to predict, you still have teams you can't be in favour of or against because you aren't conversant with the team. If you're interested in trying some alternative betting options, it's just best to take out tine first of all to start watching the match and studying how betting works for such sports. Your knowledge on sports betting is in most cases restricted only to sports betting and can't really help you as regards others betting options like basketball or boxing.

One thing i know for sure is that bookers who set up the odds are aware of all this factors and so they will set the odds in a way that you can’t cheat them. Each sport is different from the size of the pitch to the number of players and other rules too so things will definitely be different but the best thing is to bet on games you have knowledge about so you don’t go out chasing odds that will bring about your downfall.

He is right basketball is more profitable than football and it’s easy to score goals and also their odds are usually higher than than that of football but the odds are set based on the probability of it’s occurrence just like football.

If you don’t watch basketball or know it’s rules then you should better stick to betting on football games.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Comparing football with basketball is very abstract, in my opinion. After all, in addition to the type of sport, we need to choose a continent and a championship or league. Additionally, and more importantly, we need to select the bet type. Perhaps the outcome of our bet depends on this even more than on the type of sport. We can choose an ordinary or an express bet and our winnings will depend on this more than on the chosen sport. If we choose to bet on the outcome of a single event, then, for example, our choice of total goals scored (total over or total under) or bets on the win or loss of one of the teams will also have a greater impact on our winnings than the chosen sport.
 Football has many differences from basketball that can influence how much we like or dislike it. Betting on football is more common, there are far fewer goals scored in football than in basketball and there is a greater variety of bet types.

For me, this is just a person's perspective on gambling. We tend to be more dominant in choosing bets that we like more, whatever the type of sport. there are various supporting factors, the closest example is culture. this is closely related to what we like, especially if we involve betting. Football and basketball are essentially the same types of sports that use the same media. It's just that these two games have different styles and ways of working. uniquely, these two sports are very popular throughout the world. Well, because in Asia, especially in my country, football is more popular, so it could be said that football is more familiar to us, especially when betting is involved. yeah, although not everyone has to like football.
In fact, I like basketball. unfortunately, because I don't have much knowledge, especially about basketball competitions themselves, theoretically I prefer something that I know well, especially since I really understand and like football.

Well, the last point you made. this is interesting, even if you don't know the basic rules of basketball betting. in fact, you can seek knowledge and experience if you are willing to take the time to look for various information that you need, and that is very important before you actually get involved in betting. I don't know much about basketball, especially in this day and age, that's why I'm reluctant to bet on something I don't really know and understand. the point is, if you want something profitable, in this discussion it is sports betting.  At the very least, you must know exactly what you are doing with your bets. Winning and losing in betting is something that cannot be changed, but at least you must have the knowledge to minimize losses. in this way, increase your knowledge about the type of sport you want to involve in betting. after all, for me personally, both basketball and football are just as fun. plus, it's the choices you make in betting that determine the outcome.

I am not really a fan of basketball and cannot really say much about that sport. I  do feel football is more profitable because it has lots of supporters all over the world. I am yet to see or hear about a country where football is not recognised as much as it is recognised in my country.

For casinos, they'll definitely pay more attention to that sport that has more followers and supporters. That sport will definitely be football because they will definitely be making some money from majority bets on football. As for me as a sport bettor, I wouldn't risk it betting on a sport I have no knowledge about. Though everything is all about luck, I still need a good knowledge of the sport to make good strategies so as to increase my chances of winning

One time I had this move to bet on Basketball, which I know nothing about not even how the points are counted and I decided to select multiple picks, all I knew was the odds available were very big compared to football odds so I happily picked a few out, it was quite a big loss because the game ended in all loss not even one of my single pick played correctly. I would buy the idea of betting on games or sports we understand, knows the both player or teams competing and with the level of potential ascertained between both opponents before we place our bet to avoid certain loses.

My friend does not care about any kind of sport at all (although his main bets are on hockey and basketball), he does not watch match broadcasts, he only needs a coefficient that suits him. Only ordinaries play, not small amounts. And according to him, quite successfully. I'm not risking using his tactics.

[Solosanz]

It's not about the sports, but it's about to find the EV+ bets.

Even you're familiar with both basketball and football, if you can't find EV+ bets, then you're taking the same risk and neither of both is more profitable.

If you don't know what is EV+ you can read this article https://www.oddsshopper.com/articles/betting-101/positive-expected-value-explained-finding-ev-sports-betting-y10

And according to him, quite successfully. I'm not risking using his tactics.

You made a good decision, relying on someone just because he said it's successful isn't good. There's no proof if he's really making money through gambling.

[Slow death]

when I started making sports bets, I started with football, I lost a lot but I was lucky to win and I gave up for a while, when I started making sports bets again I started betting on football games, you had some good results and then some bad results, It's funny and that I bet on the premier league games, La Liga, Bundesliga, Portuguese League, Turkish League, Dutch League, French League. But when these leagues arrive in May, they go on vacation until August. So I didn't bet on football, so I thought about starting to bet on basketball games, honestly it was a big disaster

I constantly lost bets, although I sometimes managed to get it right in some games, I decided to stop betting on basketball, tennis and UFC and I've just been following along, because I saw that even though I made sports bets for fun, constantly losing was hard for me, And something I noticed is that getting information when I wanted to place bets on football games was easier compared to getting information when I wanted to bet on basketball. In my opinion, a person should bet on sports that make it easier for them to obtain information

[Questat]

Profitable for the sportsbook, I guess it's football as it has the biggest market worldwide.

However, on the bettors' side, it depends on the game we are playing and enjoy. I think it's hard to say which game is more profitable for us because being profitable is not achievable for most sports bettors. For me, the majority of my bets go to basketball, and personally, I cannot say I'm profitable as I most often end up on the losing side.

[Frankolala]

I havenot bet on basketball but from what you said that there are a lot of moves in the game in which one can bet on rather than betting for the final result of the match. That alone makes the chance of a bettor in basketball high than football but don't forget that there is also a high chance of losing your bet.

I see all type of sportbet and casino games as 50-50 chance of winning. The only game that can be profitable to a gamble is the game that he understands well. One thing in gambling is that if you bet on a game that you don't know just for fun, you will be surprised that you will win your bet.

[Assface16678]

I think the answer is simple, the most profitable depends on the bettor itself, I mean for me example I only bet on basketball, NBA leagie to be specific, and I dont really bet on football because I'm not familiar with the sports so I will not bet on it also, so in short it depends on the bettor on where he thinks its best to bet if he/she want to gave more profit, and also to add, the profit or who is more profitable will not be determined in which sports you will bet on, your profit will depends on how good you are at guessing or how good you are to choose which team or player will be the winner in a specific sports game. So bet on a sports you are familiar with, like me I like playing basketball with my friends and also watching NBA league so I have a broad knowledge about the teams and its players that could help me to choose on which side will I bet on.

basketball or football: Which sport is more profitable in relation to sports bet

You definitely understand that both are gambling/sports betting, both are profitable, if you win, the problem lies in your love of the sport and your understanding of the sport.

In general, as far as I know and usually from my experience, generally what I see are those who gamble on both types of sports, they understand and understand both.
The only difference is the final score/points in the game, where basketball consists of 5 people per team and winning basketball is determined by having the most points like volleyball points, so you have to look at the strongest team/squad during the career/history of the basketball game, football consists of 11 people in one team, they are not the same as basketball points, youdefinitely know that.

Speaking of benefits, for me both are beneficial, provided you understand and understand both sports.

[Agbe]

I liked basketball 🏀 games/sports before but now it is football ⚽ sports is my favorite. But the world of sports, we can't compare football to another sports. Though there are many sports in the world. I was liking to watch sand football {Beach Soccer}. But it is not popular like football. And normally people like watch and bet on other sports but all I have seen, people make more profit in football betting than other sports. But everyone has their favorite but football ha more fans. I have only bet on basketball once and not bet on another sports except football in frequently/or in many times.

[Zlantann]

He said that basketball is more profitable than football because of this.

I don't think this is true. If it was correct many gamblers would have identified this fact and focused on Basketball bets. Immediately gamblers know that basketball is more profitable they will abandon other sports and focus on basketball.

Every now and then I make some football bets, betting on my club that I support for now.

Sometimes club loyalty bets can lead to consistent losses especially if your club is not in form. It will be better to analyze the performance of clubs before betting. You don't need to always support your club because you might be wasting money.

He said that basketball is more profitable than football because of this.

I bet with basketball and tennis less often and I have not lost any bet there before. If I can remember, I have not bet with both more than 5 times before. But if I start to gamble with it like football, I believe everything will change and I will begin to lose just like football. Your experience, how less frequent you gamble and your analyses is what that matters because you can bet with some football matches and win or lose and that can happen with basketball also.

I believe it will be better to gamble on sports one has interest in. There is no way one can be a good gambler on a particular sport if he doesn't know the rudiments of the game. I have never gambled on basketball because I don't know the rules of the game. Football is my favorite game and I am a consistent bettor in that sport. It is also necessary to state that since gambling is not just for money, for one to be able to enjoy betting there should be interest. Without the love for the game, I don't think it will be able to entertain the bettor. However, if I decide to grow my interest in basketball, I might try it to ascertain if what OP is saying is true.
