Is your win a function of luck or how much you know a sports?

[iBaba]

Have you ever placed a bet by just doing random guesses on the outcome of the game?

Despite the general view that luck play essential role in the winning of bets, it doesn't mean that it is for random selection. Random selection doesn't cumulate into bet winning.

While luck plays a role in gambling, your knowledge about the sport is also significant since that helps you to make better choices of what's likely to play out to your own favour. But I think what also makes gambling what it is the luck in it that's one aspect that bets can be dicy and even more interesting. Because no matter your smartness in predicting who wins or lose, you will still battle with the fears of the uncertainty that goes with the unpredictable nature of bets.

Smart decisions also mean supporting a strong club over the weak one in a competition and also weighing the financial strength, the squad depth and the manager's skill in managing the club and the management.

Have you ever placed a bet by just doing random guesses on the outcome of the game?

I have done it several times when the first time to do sport betting and because i have zero knowledges about the particular teams who played at that time then i was decide to bets on popular teams which i know but it's not always be works for me even with the odds below to @1.30 i still lost my bets and since that i never did it again because bets on low odds or high odds the risk are equal and there is no guarantee betting on low odds will always be win

I know to gets the profit all of gambling games is required luck but unlike dice game or slots game which knowledges and strategies will not usefull for those games but sport betting is different because if people want to gets good results from their bets i think we cannot rely on our luck only or bets on the random options because sport betting is still required the knowledges to predict the outcomes of the particular matches

I tried out something while I was watching some games in the ongoing Olympics and this is what I did;

I looked out for sports I wasn't conversant with the athletes and didn't  know who was better at the sports and did a random prediction on the outcome of the game. I did it for swimming competition and some random boxing yesterday and out of up to 7 predictions I made, almost 6 went the way I predicted it.

It reminds me of writing an objective examination in high school and when you're done with the questions you're certain of, and you just do some random selections and luck could shine on you and you get up to 70% from your rough prediction.

I have not tried this in real games that involves using money but would want to know if anyone has ever tried it before.

Have you ever placed a bet by just doing random guesses on the outcome of the game?

You got me confused for some minutes, did you just randomly bet in your mind and then bet on a particular team to score and then it happens as you predicted. It's norm because it happened to me as well especially if you pay much attention to the tournament to some players but the real twist about this predictions is that they are very easy to guess when money is not involved. The moment money is involved, you start to make losses that you will never be prepared to handle.

If you want to test your prediction next time, just put some little change that you can afford to lose, you will see that it will be difficult for you to get exact predictions like you did when money is not involved because money comes with emotions whether it's a big money or small money, you are always bound to make mistakes most of the time.

If I gave your title question answer then I have to say that in case of sports betting both are working as well as the luck and as well as the knowledge about the sports.
And I will also say that there will be the increasing your wining probability as much as you have the knowledge about the sports and I always prefer to do gambling on those sports which you know. And avoid those which you don't know to avoid the losses.

From the title of your thread, I'll say that win most times in sport depends on how well you know the game and the players. I don't think it would be wise to place bets on random sports without even know any thing about them. You might end up making too much losses. You were lucky as your predictions went well. But in reality it wouldn't be wise to take such bets. In sports bets you have to understand the game, which would in turn enable to make good strategy to place your bets and wins.

there is some people who does not know anything about any game or any gambling but immediately then place a random game then win from it so that is why I always emphasize or capitalize and the gambling is all about luck and opportunity, and it does not mean that you must know a particular thing in gambling before you can be able to win many people who gamble with precaution will not benefit that much for someone who just gambled in a way that it does not know about but when the Favor of gambling is with the person the person will surely win or benefit from gambling, that is what I've seen or noticed sometimes in gambling.

[AYOBA]

For someone to make predicts about gambling at times is very dangerous and one thing about the prediction is that when a person is making prediction that the money is not yet involved, any game that he predicted about can comes all in one hand but when is involved of starting making predictions by using your money is that very day that will know that the gambling is all about big risks, because this type of losing is very common so will know have any experience about the gambling prediction.

But when they see other are into it and they them anytime they make predictions it always enter. Instead of them to seek for the knowledge about it face or by asking those that into the game for a while, but they will just try to test themselves by involving too much of their money instead of them to first use the amounts they can afford to lose.

I have not tried this in real games that involves using money but would want to know if anyone has ever tried it before.

I have tried it out on a few sport games, like tennis, which I don't watch and I'm not even familiar with the team. Out of the three games I selected that day, none of them played as predicted; it was almost like the opposite. I also gave horse-raising a try on another occasion, which I was not also a fan of, but this time around three out of the five times I played came out well. 
 
In sports betting, both skill and luck have to come together in order for one to win. Skill alone sometimes fails us, as games with almost all certainty to win can just disappoint us at the end.

Have you ever placed a bet by just doing random guesses on the outcome of the game?

there are people who have done betting randomly on sports that they don't know about and those people are basically leaving it all out to luck.

anyway, when it comes to sports betting having knowledge about the sport does give you an advantage on who is most likely to win.

as for whether I have done it, yes, a couple of times and so far I have faired better betting on sports that I know and am familiar with.

Naturally, most of us gamblers try to do proper research when it comes to betting. So that the amount of winning in their bets increases but even after doing good research it is not possible to get the expected results in those bets. Because there luck also plays an important role in winning. Since luck has a big roll on winning, I  place a random guesses bet there and I surprisingly win about 76% of the bets. But I did that only once. It is not easy for a bettor to participate in such bets. Because he must take more risk to participate in those bets. Again, luck will not always favor in gamble, which is why we must also change the strategy.

[Julien_Olynpic]

Sometimes even randomly placed bets win. And sometimes these wins can be very large both in absolute terms and in relative terms (in relation to all bets made). This is a funny situation, especially when you are very lucky. You can say that the goddess of fortune herself has turned her attention to you. But this can be very dangerous. When this is repeated for some time, a person's consciousness changes and he begins to believe that he is a superman, that he can predict the outcome of sports matches and win. As a rule, a person becomes too self-confident. A person loses risk management, becomes careless and after some time loses all his money. You need to trust not luck, but statistics.

[Hirose UK]

It ridiculous but it only luck that can make it work with those random choices, basically any result can happen in match and choosing random betting option will be the same as taking the risk of losing money faster.
Usually they are beginners and don't have much knowledge who do it more often, even many of them just rely on opportunities where they will take the most favored team or bet based on odds.

For me personally, I would say that knowledge is very important in sports betting, maybe it can still have big potential to fail but at least I can bet with much more basic analysis result.
Moreover, by doing analysis based on knowledge can also increase the chances of winning, it will be difficult if in sports betting only rely on luck.
In addition, every gambler must also follow the course of the match to be able to see what situations can affect the betting results, this can help lot in optimizing security to win and minimize losses.

I'm very excited for you to try it with real money, OP. Post your final win-loss ratio for the whole Olympics after it finishes. BUT merely bet what you can afford to lose.

Although, to bet real money for random picks, that might stop you from actually making those bets.

Have you ever placed a bet by just doing random guesses on the outcome of the game?

Sometimes

[Hewlet]

Luck is not a betting strategy, bro! It's fine that while you did the random guesses without using money, an higher percentage of the prediction you made came out as planned, but what happens when money is involved? Will it still work out that way?
It's better to have at least a little certainty and trust in your bets than totally relying on luck. Maybe for a fun venture that doesn't involves money, trying out stuff like that wouldn't really hurt but when money is involved, thier should be at least a form of calculated decision that's based on some reasonable indices you can bet that they have an high potential of giving you a desired win.

Making a bet on a swimming event isn't something you can easily predict with fact except you're just considering nations that have won more medals in the past Olympics category and even when you're using that as an indices, a setting like the Olympics where most athletes competes and you don't hear about them for a very long time to even know thier fitness level, betting on sich games could just be based on 90% luck and 10% based on a Minor analyssis.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Seven predictions and six successful ones—you are just lucky, OP. I can say that without knowing the rules or the athlete's history, I would not risk betting on his victory. In any case, there should be at least some idea of what you are betting on. Very rarely do you hit the target; however, this will not be constant, and it is better to understand where you are putting your money. Although people take risks, and maybe because of the risk they win.

I have won several bets from just random sports more than five times...I think wins can also be a function of luck, I'm not disputing the fact that wins are also based on how well you know the sports, but that isn't all that matters, let's look at a football match for example
There are so many factors that can alter the predicted outcome of a game, even if we know the normal game play of those teams , the outcome might go sideways... one of those factors is weather condition... I've played a game that was supposed to have atleast two goals but the weather condition was bad and due to that they couldn't even score a single goal, I think the percentage of luck involved needed is higher than how much you know a sport

I am sure that many gamblers have their luck and helps them to win by random guess in betting but I don't think that can happens many times. Random guessing will work if you have luck while we don't know when our luck comes and some people still trying to waits for their luck until its comes. They don't have to do that in a sports that they don't know because that can be the same as waste the money but if they willing to still doing that, we can't do anything and lets them see what is the outcomes.

I have an experienced in the past when I choose 5 bet and I know the 2 of that bet so I am sure that I can win. While I don't know the 3 of bet and uses random guess and the outcome is I lose my money in 2 of bet but win for one bet. I can't repeat that because I don't have much luck so the outcome still lose the money. But I don't mind with the outcome because that is the money I can afford to lose.

Given that you have guessed more correctly than you have made mistakes, you should try putting some money on your predictions. Betting with money is different from guessing without any risk because you'll feel the pressure when gambling, and that might affect your decision-making. You can test if you are really good with your predictions by starting small, which is already fine. However, don't get addicted and try to learn how to control your emotions so you'll last and enjoy.

In my view the accuracy of betting on sport events depends on both components - your knowledge and luck. In turn the proportion between them   is a function of sport. If the latter is kind of individual one (like swimming,  boxing, you name it) I would assign 75 to knowledge and the rest to luck. Regarding the team sports such proportion would be close to half-and-half.

[SmartGold01]

Out of 90 percent of our winnings 70 percent depends on how much you know about the game you are predicting NB that it's mistake that resulted to winning so if you predicted well and a player or keeper makes mistake it's another person winning but if there were no mistakes or errors then you winning is sure and of course luck also another factor that is needed to scale your winning come through otherwise, your winning could be very hard to come. I never bets on random games without me having to go in life with their effects and to with their past records that enable me pick could option to bets on.

No I didn't.
I mean gambling alone is very risky. Now add the fact that you're betting onto something that you don't even have any knowledge on it. It's like you investing into something that you don't even know.

For me, that's just like you throwing away your money. Yes, you can say that luck would be a big factor on your bets, but your luck will not be forever. Luck is a factor for a gamblers victory, but I also believe that having knowledge on what you're betting on increases your chances of winning even more. As for what happened to you OP, I believe that you're lucky on your bets even though you didn't bet any real money on it. As for me, I will not try to do it as it doubles my risk.

It's still better to just gamble on games or sports that you have knowledge on it. In my case, I only bet on sports that I have knowledge with such as basketball, MMA, boxing and even some Esports games as well.
