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

[Forsyth Jones]

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?

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

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

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

I agree with this point of view. There isn't a general more profitable alternative between Basketball and Soccer. It will depend on what category of sport each gambler has more affinity with. If you have no clue about Basketball, it's not a good idea to bet on it, because you won't be able to launch any grounded guesses and predictions regards the games, so it's definitely not going to be profitable for you.

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?

I don't see it this way. Basketball matches are so random and uncertain like any soccer match, I suppose. It's still pretty risky to bet on minor moves and events of a match. Maybe your friend has been very lucky recently on his bets, so he is saying Basketball is more profitable than soccer. But that is just his current profits talking by him.

Which is more profitable in sports betting? The ones that you know more because you're going to bet based on your knowledge and not with the pulse of the other bettors.

The more you are familiar with any sport that you're going to bet on, it means that you're doing better there. So, what you're doing with football is right because you know more about it.

But it doesn't stop someone to literally gamble to the sports that we don't know as we're all free to do that. You can start knowing more about basketball as it may look hard at the beginning, but you'll get to that point on how much knowledge you've got in football by watching games and being updated to the league and you can start it out with the NBA. As of now, they're on the break though.

All sports are profitable although I understand your explanation but still there are over 50 sports out there and in some countries basketball and football are not their national sports. And even in these countries they also bet on sports and it is not basketball or football because they know nothing about betting on these games. And should they bet on it with their limited knowledge, they'll lose their money. However when they bet on their national sports or any other sport that they are well versed in, they win. I am just clarifying this because another user may come and draw an analogy with rugby and American football, or table tennis and lawn tennis, or Baseball and Cricket.

Depends on where the gambler has more knowledge of. If you're playing basketball in real life it is most likely that you will have better game and betting analysis on that sport. However, there are people who are betting on games that they don't know that much about, but are still winning in many instances. Of course winning is still determined by your luck and fate but what I am referring on this, is higher chances of winning, in particular with familiarity of the sports you are betting your money with. Numbers aren't enough 'coz you have to understand other factors such as presence of players on that particular game, performance of the team for the whole season, and more. Speaking within the choices, some are even winning bigger with others sports such as MMA and Boxing.

Some games or sports are easier to predict because of you have lesser possible outcomes than football, but with the higher chances of winning, there is still no guarantee of winning.

Tennis is one of these sports to me but not Basketball. In tennis, there must be a winner and a loser, nothing like both players drawing at the end of the game.

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.

It really depends on what sports you are familiar with, and so both can be profitable for those who love basketball and football fans. So for example, you have a lot of knowledge in basketball and so you are going to bet on almost game and big money and results could be amazing.

Same with guys that is a football fan, there are a lot leagues all over the world and so at any given time they ca bet $1k on a single bet or bet $1.00 and make a parlay of x100 and win.

Your knowledge about the particular sport matters.
Whether it's basketball or football, it doesn't matter what sport it be as long as your knowledgeable with the sport, the teams, and the players themselves.

As for me, I'll be saying basketball with this one since I don't know that much about football at all, and even though most of the time I end up losing in my bets, at least my chances of winning would be much higher because I'm well-versed with anything that's related to basketball unlike in football where I don't even know where to start. Anyway, some are knowledgeable in basketball, and some with football. At the end of the day, you will not become profitable with your bets if you aren't lucky enough.

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.

The more profitable sport for betting is the one you know best though to be honest, basketball is really not that hard to learn. It has many games, many teams and a lot of players so I reckon that is the reason why some people think basketball is more profitable. Not to mention that I think it is also more popular than football (depending on your country).

If you generally enjoy it, just try to watch a few games because you can immediately pick up some of the rules just from watching a game.

[bering]

Indeed all of gambling games is required luck but i think sport bets a bit different rather than other games because to increases the winning percentages in sport bets then it's required more knowledges and in my opinion the more know you to the particular sports then your chance to win the bet will be bigger and regarding OP question i think the answer will vary because it depend on people knowledges theirself because those who know well basketball then they will answers betting on basketball will be profitable than football but those who a football fanatic then they will says betting on football will be much profitable rather than betting on other sports

And just like myself personally that i have been watching basketball matches several times but honestly if people asking me about big teams in this sports then i cannot answer them because i was lack of knowledges for this sport but since i was football fans and quite often to watching and predict the match from this sport then i would like to says betting on football is more profitable than betting on basketball

Gone are the days that basket basket ball was the most common sport. The most common sport today is sport. Sport has also be dominating since several years ago. That is why people also gamble on football matches than basketball. For the betting, you know that most people that are betting will lose their money to the betting sites. None of them is profitable. That is why it is better to gamble with the money that you can afford to lose. If you bet and win, you are lucky but the probability of losing is far higher than to win.

[Samlucky O]

To me I would say it depends on a person and his or her choice of game. Most people would prefer football bet because they so much love football and have passion for it, while some other will bet on basketball because they love, cherish and understanding basketball more than any other sports. My conclusion is that people would preferably chose to play the game they watch more often than those that they don't watch. It's just a matter of choice because in my country most people prefer playing card games, draft game, lotto, horse, colour and virtual gambling games. So all bets are profitable when you know the type of game are gambling on.

The more you are familiar with any sport that you're going to bet on, it means that you're doing better there. So, what you're doing with football is right because you know more about it.

I do queue into your idea because personally I wouldn’t have to tag any form of sport in gambling more profitable than the other and just as you said, the more you know about a particular sport gives you greater edge to winning and staying more profitable rather than jumping on threads because you heard others are making profits from it.

Just as you’re talking about basketball and football and trying to compare them, which I think isn’t of no use, I’ve also been watching this aviator games on Bc.games and frankly I’m tempted to say that, I understand that people are making some good profits from other firm of sports betting but I think people are doing wonders in the aviator crash games but that doesn’t mean you should go compare them to other sporting games.

In conclusion, find a field you’re good at and stick to it Except you want to try something new
Goodluck

I don't agree with your friend on this. By nature, football is the most widely viewed and appreciated sport in the world with more than enough teams and many events to bet for or against in a single match. No one can go wrong with football in this regard and the reason why most people are even betting on it when it comes to the statistics should speak enough volumes in this regard.

Also, no one should choose for another, it is what you have an interest in and adequate information about that you should bet upon. This is how you can manoeuvre your way to knowing the possible things that will happen before the match and what might happen during the match for a better chance of winning since you are deeply rooted in their past and possible present outcomes due to their current feats and other considerations.

AFAIK when it comes to the west there's just a lot more people who bet on football more than basketball so it just makes sense for it to be more profitable, cause there's more money on the pot and more people are chipping in their fair share. However, Basketball games are nothing to be scoffed at either, cause even though for the most part it's only ever bet on in countries where it is big like the US and the Philippines, the amounts of bet that people make per play are usually on the higher end of the spectrum. My uncle alone dishes out more than 3000 bucks worth of Php whenever he makes bets on NBA games, especially if it's already in the finals stage and it's his favorite team that's playing (Golden State Warriors).

I can imagine just more people playing on football, but I don't imagine football fans being that ludicrous with their bets regardless of if they are rich or not. I think most of you football bettors are content with at most, a couple hundred dollars' worth of bet, if not even less, some outliers here and there may go so far as to bet a hundred thousand dollars or so, but all in all, football bettors are a little bit more stingy than their basketball counterparts, which in turn means that for the most part, winners at basketball bets bag more money than those who win at football bets.

[michellee]

I don't know for sure about that but I guess that will depends on how experienced you are in that sports. If you don't watch basketball or like basketball, you will difficult to analyze or predicts the team that can wins. If you just make a random team to pick, that will not always gives you the wins.

Maybe what your friend said is true because he have much experience in basketball betting so he can says that is profitable. But for me, if that is just for fun, that will be no problem at all. As long as you can uses the money you can afford to lose and accepts the result, you can place your bet.

If we talks about which is more profitable in sports betting is depends on how you knows the sport because that is the important key for you to analyze the match. Without knowing the sports, you will difficult analyzing each team and will confuse you to pick the team. If you have experience on that sports and really know and like the sports, that will gives a chance to analyze and predict the team that can wins.

[bakasabo]

I can name only one tiny reason why football can be more profitable than basketball in relating to sports betting - number of games. Everyone knows that football is most popular sport in the world. Every second, a football game, somewhere in the world is running. The probability, that there will be way more opportunities to bet on football than on basketball is obvious. Gambling platforms usually add NBA games, Euroleague, FIBA and a bunch other other leagues. In football there are different division, continents, country and much more games. Just open basketball and football sections on gambling platforms and see yourself. Sometimes there might be, that there are only 2 or 3 basketball games to bet, and 50+ football games. Finding an easy bet among football will much easier.

Am actually a football fan with zero ideas of the basketball in terms of it's rules and regulations but sometimes it is good to try a new thing maybe after now am going to be having a very good look at what the basketball rules and regulations  looks like. However, from my observations I think football betting dominates the basketball betting in terms of populations that are in to the two different gambling cadres , I bet only on football and that is where my affinity is laid on but nevertheless something too it is always more better to stick to what know better while you gradually venture in to the unknown.
