What part of the game is the most important for a bettor.

[Julien_Olynpic]

I have quoted the famous bettor of the past J.R. Miller many times in my posts. I can't resist quoting him again. I came across his quote about what part of the game is the most important in sports betting. Here is the quote itself:

In the NBA, the last five minutes of the game matter. The only reason the game is an hour long is because no one will buy a ticket to watch a five-minute show."

You may not agree with this statement. For example, if you place live bets, you may be interested in watching different parts of the game. However, do you agree with the quote as a whole?   Is it really only the last 5 minutes of the match that matter to you?

[Oshosondy]

All parts of the matches is important to me if I want to watch the match for it to be fun. But I bet than the match that I am watching. There are many matches that I bet and I will not watch the match at all but only check the match result. I see this pleasing if it is not a very important match. I even prefer it than watching the match. But there are important matches that I can not skip but watch.

I think it largely depends on the sport. The last minutes are not necessarily always important. For example, I don't think this applies to boxing and, for example, to racing. Sometimes there are situations where everything is decided at the very end, but this cannot be taken as a rule.

His statement is from his own perspective as a gambler.

I may have a different opinion on this and it is that the most important part of the game is depends on the type of bet the gambler has placed and the type of game. Those who bet on horseracing will have their own important part of different from those who bet on sports. 

To add to this, if my bet in a match is First Goalscorer, you will agree with me that the most important part of the game will not be the last five minutes unless of course there is no score until that point in the game. How about, Player to Score in Both Halves or A last goalscorer bet.

These variants invalidates the statement of J.R. Miller but doesn't make him any less wrong because that is his individual opinion.

I have quoted the famous bettor of the past J.R. Miller many times in my posts. I can't resist quoting him again. I came across his quote about what part of the game is the most important in sports betting. Here is the quote itself:

For me, it actually depends if the team you played is winning because I don't think anyone would every be happy watching this favorite team lose (especially when that's his last game). The most important part is when your team is winning and it's due minutes (like last 10 or 5 minutes), that the most terrifying minutes of the game because at that time anything can happen since it's a sport bet.

In the NBA, the last five minutes of the game matter. The only reason the game is an hour long is because no one will buy a ticket to watch a five-minute show."

100% true.
No one would actually pay to watch something that won't stay long to their satisfaction, so I agreed with this quote.

You may not agree with this statement. For example, if you place live bets, you may be interested in watching different parts of the game. However, do you agree with the quote as a whole?   Is it really only the last 5 minutes of the match that matter to you?

Most times we watch live bets and the team we played to win give our their position and their opponents take advantage of it, we continue watching because we still believe that in sport bet anything can actually happen.

[danherbias07]

Nah, I don't agree with that. A basketball game can end up in a blowout which means the lead was built from the 1st quarter until the 4th quarter. Some games even end in 3rd quarter if let's say the other team has a lead of 30+ points. Just a week ago, I saw that happened. It's already a trash game or garbage time where they will put in the bench players and just play the game.
The last 5 minutes will only be important if it's a close game. For a bettor who makes his pick before the game even starts, it means he will have to predict the outcome in the whole 48 minutes. But for those who bet live games, I think that the last 5 minutes will be important to them.

[michellee]

I consider that the whole match will be matter to me. If I have interest to that match, I will make sure to have the ticket and watch it closely. But others may think that they will buy the ticket on the last 5 minutes because they are usually do that.

But if that is for placing a bet, I will place when I finish my analysis for the match and know what team that I should pick.

But people will know when they should place a bet especially if they familiar with the team. Whether that is watch the match or place a bet, that will depend on what we usually do. But if people who buy the ticket is not many, the match will show on

[crwth]

I'm afraid I have to disagree with it because a short-term thing isn't automatically what it seems. You need to have a more extended timeframe if you really want to see the results of something. The athleticism in terms of stamina and how they handle pressure wouldn't be seen in such a short time. That's just how I view it. You wouldn't need players much if it's just 5 mins.

I don't agree with that statement as it is not true for me because no longer than yesterday I saw a NFL game and the action was from beginning to the end in the Jacksonville Jaguars against New York Jets game. I can also recall watching basketball games that have been all time in their peak, just remember the Chikago Bulls in their glorious time with Michael Jordan, where every game was a masterpiece and very difficult to find competition now to the beauty of such games. There are also many other examples where action is non stop in such games.

As a bettor, the information is largely correct the last five minutes of the match is crucial and can make or mar your betting. In every sporting event, the last minutes is seen as the most active period as all the players will be at their best and fighting to finish. Most goals are scored at that point and this is where the dynamics of the game changes. However, what happens from the first minutes of the game is also important because if a team is already leading by a wide margin, no matter what the opponent do at the last minutes, there will be no time to correct the damages.

[Cryptmuster]

If the teams are close, then this may be true, but if the outcome of the match has already been decided before that time, then these last 5 minutes will not decide anything. So this expression may be true for him, maybe he put his own special meaning into it that we do not understand. And I am not so keen on the NBA to try to understand the last five minutes of the match, in live I am sure that you can make many bets on the last 5 minutes.)

Well, even the first half of a match could be more important than the last 5 minutes depending on the kind of odds one is placing a bet on. I like the fact that odds fall into different categories when it comes to live betting and that makes it rather possible to place a bet at any time  just for fouls or goals or substitutions being made.
I consider the beginning of a match much more important for me because while the odds may be clear, it starts changing from when the referee blows his whistle and that makes all uncertainty become very bold.

To me the last 5 minutes as said does not matter but what matters most is... The end of the game because even when a game is played in 90Minutes or 5 minutes below or above, the result of the match has the descriptive explanation to how it ended.

Everyone is always curious about the final stage or end time of the games because a second can make a difference in the sport games which we are most interesting about in our bets.
Anything can always happen in the beginning of the match but what matters most the... HOW THE GAME ENDED that last second matter more and not a whole 5 minute.

This quote has a right to exist, because the last minutes of any match are decisive. It is at the end that it becomes clear who won and who lost (gamblers who bet on this game too). But from the position of spectators, without the preceding suspense in the match, these last 5 minutes will not be so interesting. That is, the entire previous game prepares for these last 5 minutes and allows you to get the most pleasure from the viewing process.

Gamblers, in general, may not watch the matches, but determine whether their bet was a winning one based on the results of the matches. Even without watching the last minutes. But you must agree, this adds more emotions when you watch the match you bet on.

Totally depends on someones perspective when it comes to this manner because if we do talk literally then we are really that being excited on that last 5 minutes yet this is where the game will be over and do able to know on what will be the outcome on such game on which its really that very normal that we will be that wanting to know on what will be the result specially when we do make out bets. Also, this isnt really just that talking about the last 5 minutes of the game because when doing betting then we are really that wanting to have that entertainment and enjoyment on which you will be able to see it on the entire game duration. If you do have that favorite team then watching them beating up the other team could give that fun and leisure on which totally different into those who are really just that wanting to see the outcome or result. Each person will be having that different insights about betting on which there are ones who do really just that bet to make money on which its literal because we do bet to make money but there are ones who do make out bets just for them to make have some fun on which this is something that they should be doing on.

The last five minutes can indeed be very crucial and full of tension, especially if the scores of the two teams are very close, so that the intensity of the game increases from both teams to achieve victory, not only in the NBA, even in football we can see how goals created in the last minute can often change and destroy the victory of a team that is already in sight, Because every losing team will try to catch up with them by taking advantage of every available time to change the final result of the match, in a bet, the last five minutes can offer a bigger chance of winning because quick changes in the dynamics of the match often occur.

[Yucky]

The last five minutes of a game can be very important. It's a period that can create a lot of tension, and the entire outcome of the game, which has been played for 85-90 minutes, can change in just a few minutes. If a team scores a winning goal during this time, it can completely shift the game's dynamics.

However, I also believe that the 85 minutes preceding the last five minutes are crucial. This period sets the tone for the game, determining whether a team is winning, losing, or drawing. The momentum built during this time can greatly impact the final outcome.

The last five minutes can be a game-changer, allowing the losing team to catch up or the winning team to solidify their victory.

For bettors, the last five minutes can give them heart attack. If you've bet on a specific score, the last five minutes can make or break your chances of winning. For instance, if you've bet on Team A winning 2-1, but Team B scores in the last five minutes to tie the game, you'll lose your bet. In this sense, the last five minutes can be the deciding factor for your cash out.

as a sports bettor, once you look at this quote the first instance that comes to mind is the yesterday game between Tottenham and Southampton when even before the end of the first half, you already know the outcome of the game because of the five Nile goal that was scored at the first half. as a gambler, it all depends on the kind of prediction you have made. if it's a straight win, then you might need to wait till the final whistle but if you played over certain numbers of goals, somewhere into the game, you should have already known that you have won or lost the bet. be it at the NBA or the regular sports games, as a spectator, you get the enjoy the intriguing moments from the start of the game to it end, the last five moment might be more intense if the losing teams feels a comeback is necessary but overall, the overall game is always as interesting as the last part of the game.

[Jawhead999]

Why not just don't watch it at all as they only care with the result, watching in the last minutes doesn't make their team to win since the have no impact to the players who're playing. All you cares is only the result, even your purpose is to cash out your bet, it doesn't worth it because the longer the game, the smaller the amount you can cash out.

Although I'm a bettor, but if the match is interesting, I will watch the full match or just watch the highlight. There's no point for me just to watch the last minutes.

[Text]

I believe the importance of different parts of the game depends on the type of bettor you are. Maybe he said that because the final five minutes are the most unpredictable and impactful especially in basketball.

Live bettors who place prop bets are really focused on the entire game but those betting on the spread or totals are more interested in the last five minutes.
