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

[Rockstarguy]

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.

In gambling you don't choose game to bet on because it is profitable. Normally gambling is a game for fun, you bet because of the love you have for a particular sport and the knowledge which you have for the sport, all these are what makes gambling to be very more interesting . If football is your favourite game in sport and the only sport game you follow up then this should be the only game that you need to play gambling on, same thing with any other sport game.

It is wrong for one to be thinking of game to play on just to make profit, everyone expects to win in gambling but taking it as something that can generate money for you as income is wrong.

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.

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 agree, find what suits your skills. Whether you're in sports betting or that aviator games that you have mentioned. That's fine. We're all gamblers and we're trying to find those games that we truly like and not just that, but also profitable.

But that doesn't also stop us from exploring other things. There's some limitations of doing it of course based on what's inside your pocket. So, if you don't have much to explore then you better stick to where you're good at.

Basketball, football, boxing, etc.

That's right, because with odds/handicap the chances of winning in all sports bets are the same.
Whether it is easy or not to predict the outcome of a match depends on our experience and knowledge of a particular sport, but still that is not a guarantee either that we will often win.
In the end it all depends on our own luck, that's why we call it gambling.

players can bet on these moves to obtain advantages over bets based on guesses. Do you agree with this friend of mine?

I do not agree to what he said, because just as in basketball, gamblers have moves to bet on to increase their chances of winning, on the other hand, when it comes to football, that's how gamblers also have an amount of corner kicks, handicap, first team to score and guessing which particular player to score a goal to bet on while gambling.

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

I think this is the third time I'm hearing someone making the same exact statement you just made above, and I have been contemplating about it, but it's just sad I'm not good at basketball, which is why I have remain focused on only football betting, as I think the success of an individual in any of these sport games is dependent on how knowledgeable he/she is about these sports.

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

I can't really tell, which is more profitable because I think it depends on which you are most interested in. As a soccer fan, I would be more focused on the match odds, the players and everything relating to soccer that might give me an upper chance of placing good bets. Making bets on basketball without even understanding how their games are played, even though they have a higher and easier chance of winning, I might end up losing. That because I can't really relate to the sport. It might be fun like you friend said and there nothing worn g in giving it a try once or twice though but in placing bets, one has to be careful and make wise bets.

[South Park]

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?

You should stay away from any basketball bets at the moment, the biggest reason a sport bettor can earn some profits is because of their knowledge about the game, knowledge you do not currently have, now if you have a genuine interest on basketball, you may try to learn more about it and compare the results you get with your bets to the ones you get with soccer, but if you do not really like basketball at all, then it is better for you to stay away from those bets permanently.

Profitable depends on your style of gambling, you can lose in football betting and you can lose in basketball betting as well. The kind of leagues you play in basketball and football also depend on how you win gambling. There are local football matches that are very difficult to predict, like local leagues where you see goals everywhere and Basketball games where you see teams don't do almost nothing, they hardly make 6 points in a single quarter.


My experience with the professional ones like the football, European leagues such as Laliga, Premier League, conference/europa leagues, Champions League and Seria A are one of the best and profitable matches for betting and for Basketball games, just go for NBA, they are very easy to compare to other types such as the likes of NCA, this guys will only waste your time and money and will end up annoying you for playing first half or q1 and q2 without any good points.

[goaldigger]

It will be hard to tell on which one is more profitable since in every country they have their own bias and in my country, we are into basketball because it’s easy to play, to understand and easy to build a court which doesn’t require that match and you can easily place a bet because you understand it too. Profitable is very subjective, not unless you all have the accurate data, then that is the only time for us to tell on which one is profitable in sports bet.

Basically I also never studied or was not interested in basketball when I was at school, but in gambling I also have an interest in betting on basketball matches. Because after several trials regarding single bets and also multi bets or parlay bets, I managed to get a good profit. Of course, with the winnings I got, I also bet quite often on basketball matches and not only football matches, and in fact,several times I looked for basketball broadcast channels that I bet on, and that was very interesting too and no less interesting than football matches. But yes, basically every sport provides good opportunities for bettors,  even though we don't have a good knowledge base, but as time goes by we will also understand the game system.

I do not follow basket ball either or have any experience about how it works even in my vicinity I don't think have caome across someone discussing about his but I have this particular who is nto Basket ball betting and has been profiting more than he does in the football betting but saiid that you need to study how it works first to get a better understanding of how you should follow it up and place your bet on the games before you would be able to profit in Basket.

[Forsyth Jones]

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.

I think I only watched a basketball game once or twice, in my country basketball isn't that popular and I rarely find friends to play with. Anyway, it's a sport that you can see is fun, maybe if I try to get the rules of the game it'd be interesting to place some bets.

I like football, but unfortunately I don't have time to follow it, so I don't invest much in it.

I agree with you that gambling depends on luck for one to be profitable. This is why I don't believe or buy the idea that one game is more profitable than the other. If you are lucky, you will win and if you are not lucky, you lose. Most gamblers place their bets on games that they have a proper knowledge on so that they can enjoy the fun in it even if they lost their bet. I bet of football because I enjoy the match and use it to entertain myself.

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.

I've no doubts that bettors are winning more in games they are more inclined to, than betting on those games unfamiliar to them. But as gambling do not just focus on skills but majority on luck, I think it's also a wise idea to get to know more about basketball and its winning teams, and not just focus on a single event.

Basketball has always been an all time favorite for all sports enthusiasts, just like football itself. But my point is, if you can be good in football, then there's no reason you will never find joy and excitement from basketball. It's just a matter of open-mindedness and not limiting yourself into other alternatives.

In other words, it will be enjoyable and probably profitable if you know the sports you are betting with. Otherwise, both sports won't be of good use to you if you don't know what's going on in this sports. Do take note that you can have better decisions if you are familiar with the sports itself as well as the athletes involved. Without knowledge, it is like you are betting blindly and relying on yorur luck.

And the reason why some long-time sportsbettors are successful, because they live and breath the sports they are placing their bets with. Years and years of betting and experience is their weapon. It is by no means an overnight task to gain access tons of information that you can use to come up with smart decisions.

Yes, you're right, the more you understand the type of sport you choose to bet on, the more knowledge you have to use as consideration in betting, but that also doesn't rule out the chance of losing.

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

Whether it's true or not has to be done by comparison, we can't just bet on one type of sport and then say there's a greater chance of winning because we've never tried another sport.
I only occasionally bet on basketball and more often on football so my judgment is not valid unless I bet with the same frequency between football and football.

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

You can learn the basic rules by reading articles on the internet without having to watch the match, but for me about sports learning while watching is more interesting compared to learning while reading.

[danherbias07]

I don't know the rules of football too and sometimes I get confused at how the betting odds work which is why I don't bet on it.
In basketball, though it is different, I like betting for it because I love the game and it's not just about the bet but also about the game. Somehow, it helps me finish the game even though the opposing team that I bet for had a huge lead.
It's entertaining and betting on it boosts my urge to keep on watching it. Let's face it, some games are damn boring and we need the bets to add some spice on it.
So, to answer the question, I prefer basketball but I guess this depends on each gambler out there just like your example.

For sports betting, luck is still needed. You have to rely on your own skills there and it's about doing some research before placing a bet and checking out the game before it happens by looking at the news whether your favorite player is there or absent if it's a team game like basketball or football. Although sports betting isn't limited only to these two sports, this is the subject of this thread.

Basketball has always been an all time favorite for all sports enthusiasts, just like football itself. But my point is, if you can be good in football, then there's no reason you will never find joy and excitement from basketball. It's just a matter of open-mindedness and not limiting yourself into other alternatives.

Just be open to exploration and it's about being a sports enthusiasts and you're open in learning new sports as time goes by.

[ethereumhunter]

If you really like football, you will place a bet in football and will not chooses the other sports. That's because you don't knows the sports and how to play so you will not take a risks, even with small money. You better to waits for a while and only place a bet to the team that you knows because that makes you can analyze the match and have a team that you can pick.

If your friend feels that method is works for him, he can continue use that method while you have your own way to place a bet. You don't have to follow what your friend do in placing a bet because each of you will have each ways. But you can try his method occasionally with just for fun and don't needs to have a big hopes you can wins the games because you don't knows much about the sports.

[ralle14]

Do you agree with this friend of mine?

I don't buy what your friend said about basketball being more profitable than football. It can quickly get so random that the worst teams can always be a threat to the best teams in the league. Even though the court is small, they play a lot of games throughout the season and there are still a lot of factors that can make basketball unpredictable.

Maybe he found a working strategy that caused him to say it's profitable, but that same strategy can easily fail in the future.

The majority have mentioned already that it's best to stick to what's currently working out for you and I agree with them. It's fine to check out other sports once in a while, but always make sure to have a stopping point so you don't stray away from your main sport.

[Jawhead999]

Neither of them, both are same.

I think the more you familiar with the sport, the more chance you will win.

It's because you can "weight" the team based on your analysis, odds from the bookies or other people opinions will not affect your choice. When you're convinced the underdog team will able to beat the favorite team, you will earn more.

But you can try his method occasionally with just for fun and don't needs to have a big hopes you can wins the games because you don't knows much about the sports.

If his friends method working, it's important for @OP to realize to not bet more.
