Has anyone here actually been winning just by focusing on player props?

[Woodie]

I know a few fellows around the forum that go for this market , and I must say it is high risk high reward...but then again if you watch the game more regularly it becomes easy to analyse these players and games that they will be playing...

And personally once in a while I do try to play around these markets but unfortunately my winning probability drops of I stick with prop markets for a while.

If you consider the returns that will be obtained betting on player props is quite tempting but it is not as easy as imagined, this type of bet is specifically for those who are very familiar with the characteristics of the player who will be bet and really have good analytical skills. For me it is quite troublesome and because I am just a casual gambler the main focus is the point spread, total and moneyline three betting options that I think are easier.

Player's statistics could be easily derived from different sports platforms. With the assistance of AI tools, it is even easier. I guess some gamblers might not have such spare time to spend on this statistics.

I'm not saying betting on a player's props is more profitable than point spreads or totals. But it usually provides good odds for bettors. But it's still a bigger risk because anything can happen on the field and I think it's more convenient and easier to analyze the results of point spreads or totals. Most bettors very rarely choose to bet on player props unless they really master all the analysis they have.

Gambling itself is a risky adventure. Some sports gamblers have mastered some strategies that have been effective in betting on players. You might be amazed that they see it as less risky and the easiest means of winning a bet. A player's performance can be consistent which might make betting on him easy.

I have tried betting on props market and I enjoyed it. Maybe slightly more than just betting on match winners outright  because it's more fun especially if you're betting on NBA games as I haven't tried it with other sports. So my experience will only be about betting on props in nba games.

For nba, there's a wide range of props you can bet on like a player's total points, assists, turnover, threes, steals, etc. Gambling sportbook like Coinroyale would even let you bet on comparison props. For instance, you can bet on one player getting more assist than another, etc.

I'm also studying this pattern closely against next season because I have noticed that betting on a player have big odd and if carefully selected, the probability is high. There were seasons certain players always score and if one can notice that, it will be a big opportunity to win some money. I will have to explore this option first to ascertain how profitable it is before giving my opinion. I do know people who are good in that option but I can't measure the profitability from their experience.

I find this way of betting a bit easier since you only need to analyze certain players, and since I don’t bet here regularly, I wanted to ask those who are more active in betting. From time to time I see bettors sharing their bet slips, so I got curious.

My question is, is it more profitable compared to betting on the usual markets like point spreads or totals?

It is not possible to judge the strength of a team based on just one player, but this can also be an exception. Sometimes a good player can perform well and bring victory to the team. But it would not be right to analyze a player and place a bet because that player may not perform well on the day the bet is placed. However, bets can be placed based on the strength of a team, but even then, it is not possible to guarantee that your bet will win 100%.

The common thing with player props is with those gamblers that are solely focusing on individual performances. When they are certain with the players who can make this xx points, that's good for them to follow. But if you're just someone who bets casually and just tried to get into player props, don't expect that your first bets are going to be winners. Most are easy with the totals and moneylines, as for the spreads, they're also quite fine. I'm not a typical player props but I do it sometimes when moment allows but not really into it.

One thing I've believed and still will believe is that when it comes to betting, what ever style we choose to bet or which ever angle we choose to bet from, our winning depends solely on two factors, and those factors are.....
1. Our level of knowledge of the sports we are betting on..
2. How lucky we are.

Our knowledge of the sports we are betting on helps us know which team would win in a specific position or angle, while after this, we have to submit to luck and allow it decide our fate..

It is important we know that casinos have carefully choosen and arranged all the betting options in a way that they themselves won't be at the loss, so which ever option we choose from while betting, luck usually have the final say as we can't control what happens in the field of play.

Well, I know some bettors who love to bet on player props, and some of them are creating crazy parlays with +10 bets only on player props. It's not my thing, but I like to copy a few picks from time to time. My success is half-half... I had some wins, but many times I had close misses, just a point/rebound/assist or two from a certain player to be a win.

It's interesting to bet on player props, but as always, we need a bit of luck to win a bet/parlay... we can't win & have winning streaks without it.

It’s okay to bet on props, but the moment you add a parlay to that, that’s when your chances of winning really drop. You know what they say, betting on parlays is like burning money, even with just 2 legs. And realistically, the more legs you add, the lower your chances become. That’s why sportsbooks love to promote parlays, because they have a much better edge when people bet that way.

In most cases it is more profitable to bet on both teams to score or total goals rather than on money line as we have seen with many games that go wrong in result but go extremely right in goals and both teams to score. However there are also cases when a favorite team who is expected to score a lot of goals does not score that many and the game ends just 1-0 as a result and makes you lose the spreads or other type of bets. So in reality and in the end like we always say it all depends on luck, oh and I also forgot in such type of sport games it also depends much more on the referee rather than luck honestly. The game ends as the referee see fit for him so we have no power on which option is better.

In my case, I tried to bet on this market, for example, I bet on which player would score the most goals, but I confess that I didn't get it right, it seemed more like buying a lottery ticket. That's why I stopped betting on this market and focused on betting on the goals, 1x2, cards and corners markets, which in my opinion I had a better chance of getting right.

It's not easy, I know .

Perhaps player props are the most difficult thing to bet on imho. As a team you know how things will generally go but when you bet on the props it's really a coinflip because the selected player might not score as we expect them to. I do a lot of fantasy sports betting on cricket where you have to make a team and compete with others who also make their own team. It's so damn hard to get the team right because sometimes the best players get out without scoring and sometimes the weakest bowler takes wickets. It's a total coinflip.

For those who don't know much about props markets, just stay away from it.

I've seen several gamblers who are successful through player props, but their profits are not that significant compared to gamblers who are betting on the common markets (moneyline, spreads, totals, etc.)

They sometimes go on a heater and hit most of their bets, and at the same time, the bad days also come, where they have to tank countless losses.

I recall having a bit of success with some MLB props back then, but that doesn't mean it's better because they can still be streaky.
