Are you checking for odds on different betting sites

[Bitcoin.com97]

Checking odds on different betting site is not actually bad idea , but it all depends on individual choice , most people has the time and strength to move from one betting site to another , before placing a bet to know which site has a better offer some even book games late knowing fully well that immediately the matches start the odd May probably go up while some play live bet to get get better odd , so individual different in betting is high , so whichever way anyone chose before betting is their choice , big odd with small money gives them big money if it boom , so that is why they move from one site to another to get better choice before placing the bet.

On the forum I have found odds checker for mix martial arts. I took first fighting pair and odds difference is more than 0.5 point which means you can get 25% more if you "waste" time checking odds. Those who dont place large bets it wont be a significant difference. Those who place large bets even 0.1 difference is a lot. But I would not be hypnotized with receiving more money and would not search for a new casino that offer better odds, but instead stay where I am used to.

That 25% extra in odds would only be justified if the casino/sportsbook in question is a well known, reputable one. It won't be surprising if a newer gambling platform has higher odds because it might be one way they get the attention of players. I won't fall for casinos like that because odds difference between popular ones are often miniscule across the board.

When I was interested in arbitrage betting, that was the first time when I started checking odds on different betting websites but I've never done arbitrage betting myself because first of all, it was almost impossible to find a difference in odds and even if you would manage to find a difference, it was so low that without betting millions of dollars, it was meaningless to waste a time.

I have tried arbitrage betting before but it is not easy at all. Let us say there are three odds in 1x2. If you select win for your favorurite team and lose for the the favorite team in another betting site on the same match. But what if the teams played draw? That mean you lost both matches.

An area I see it can be possible is over and under 2.5 and some other related odds. But I have make the calculation before to know that it is not profitable at all also.

The whole point of arbitrage betting is that when taken individually, the odds should be higher than 3.0 in order to profit. The best that I've found was 3.05 but I've never placed a bet. For example, the odd of 1 might be 3.1, the odd of a draw might be 2.5 and the odds of 2 might be 3.5. In this case, if we sum up all of three odds, it will be 9.1 but if we divide it by three, then we will get 3.03, which means that, doesn't matter the outcome of the match, you'll earn 3% of your bet. If someone has lots of money, then it's worth it but without lots of money, it's not worth it.

In my experience, I am clear that if you rush to bet just by looking at high odds then you can often end up losing money because the pattern of odds fluctuations, cash-out options, and even the depth of the market on each site are different. Some people can compare odds over time but others want to make quick decisions without seeing odds and this is normal and for some, comparing odds on different sites can be beneficial, while for others, it seems like a lot of trouble. But it is not right that if you get a little better odds then you will definitely make a profit. And many people change sites for the sake of big odds with small money but in the end the real thing should be understanding strategy and risk. So I think changing sites is not bad, but at the same time it is more important to maintain your limits, analysis, and stability because betting is based on luck as well as decisions.

This odds breakdown seems very strange to me. I don't recall ever seeing it. More often, if the odds on one team are 3.5, then on another, they'll be 1.9 or something like that. The bookmaker calculates all the probabilities and won't let itself be beaten, and comparing odds at different casinos doesn't offer this advantage either. Perhaps when some casinos offer bonus odds on individual matches, then you can exploit it. I place small bets, so I don't even compare odds at different casinos.

They look into every tiny details on where or what to take advantage of while gambling, so even though we are definitely going to criticize or castigate them, it's not going to change those fellows in anyway, or stop them in acting in such a way because their obsession for gambling runs deeper than we can imagine.

Yea, if you or anyone is taking sports betting very serious like a means of income, you will deem it necessary to always check every single details like the odd difference will also matter to you because you are targeting profit and not fun actually. Those that play for only fun will not really worry about little odd difference.

I don't believe in checking different sites to compare odds since that won't guarantee the success of your bet and just like the OP said, I normally go to any platform I feel like booking a bet and make my bookings. Anyways you're right that people who take gambling seriously do whatever they feel would make them stand a chance of winning, some go to the extent of acting all superstitious about it, like involving spiritual stuffs with gambling to get luck, left for me it makes no sense cause I think that winning from gambling is mostly by luck and nothing more, anyways it anybody choice to believe in whatever they feel would make them win the house.

You won't see similar odds at one casino because they protect themselves from odds abuse but that's when people look for other casinos to find the combination of odds that will give them a guaranteed profit, that's arbitrage betting. If odds are 3.1, 3.05 and 2.8 on one casino (1X2), you have to find another casino where odds might be 2.95, 2.95, 3.05. You'll pick 1 and X from the first casino but you'll pick 2 from the second casino, that's how you create a bet that will give you a guaranteed profit, despite what will be the outcome of the match.

I understand this, but honestly, I doubt you'll find such odds differences often, even across different casinos. Otherwise, it would be very simple and all players would be able to take advantage of it. It would also likely require you to have a large deposit, which not all players are willing to do because it carries its own risks. I also think it might be suspicious to place large bets on a draw or a win for one of the teams. I don't know if I'd risk it.

I am not a professional bettor, so I don't observe much while betting. I just pick a match and bet on my favorite team. I never look at the odds of the casino or the bookies to make a bet or change my bet depending on them. It doesn't matter if I win or lose the bet. I just bet for fun and enjoy the match. The outcome of a match cannot be determined by the odds or the bookies, sometimes the opposite happens and brings big wins.

Actually so many of us consider the odd before going to gambling and also the previous performance of the team this are the things that should be consider most before making your decision on betting against or not,

Why some people does not consider the odd only what they consider in the performance of the players that will trigger them to make their own bet or a prediction, but an experience gambler most to make a proper research for the previous performance and the team that is going to play with the people that you intend to bet on, also their own performance and compare both before you can make your decision

It is obvious that if you don't Choose Wisely in gambling it may result negatively to you so I believe not we are supposed to make a proper research that will convince us before we stake our bet.

Yes, it will not guarantee that the match a bettor bet on would be won by the bettor but some people use it to take advantage of higher pay if the bet is won. That will be good for those that are using high amount of money to bet and those that make use of parlays and bet builder. People like me that use small amount of money to bet will not make the odd to be something important to us because the profit difference is very small with small amount of money and in a single bet or bet with low parlay.

To me comparing of odds from different gambling sites before we can place our bets just as you said is off the lane, does that even give us the winning we need as gamblers no,  is there any assurance that comes with that, I think the answer is still no, why will I do such when I know that the outcome of my bet, has nothing to do with odd, when a lower odd is given to a team, it means the bookmakers feel that, the team involved has a highers chances of winning the matches, sometimes bookmakers also fixes these odds randomly trying to outsmart bettors, so I won't advice any bettor to allow themselves to be brainwashed with odd rather I think relying on each team form to place your bets and luck for it's outcome to favour you as a bettor will be better.

I do not know some people can take betting to this extra level by comparing different bookies before betting. They will be checking for the odds that they want to select on the bookies an bet on the bookie that has the highest odd.

This does not make any sense to me and I can not do it but I saw something like this on a thread on the gambling board. Are you doing something like that?

I prefer to bet mostly on just 3 gambling sites. Two of the gambling sites are casinos and bookies and one only has casino. I do not gamble on the gambling sites because of odds advantage but because I want to have fun.

There’s no big difference between many casinos since some Crypto Casinos are using the same sports providers, sometimes the difference is like 0.05 odds maximum. That doesn’t mean you should set bets on so many platforms to enjoy higher odds, I think it’s more about the platform you got use to it and never had issues with it.

Most gamblers are spending time with occasional bets and not doing mathematics, instead we pick the reliable platforms. Answering your question, yes I actually do check sometimes and notice the difference, it happens accidentally when checking on sports live check platforms like flashscore.

Perhaps this is just from one time experience but I could see that crypto casino with bookies has a slight lower odds than other bookies sponsored in stadiums or teams.

While comparing odds across different betting sites can sometimes offer slight advantages, it's important to keep in mind that the differences are often minimal unless you're dealing with larger amounts in particular. For casual bettors, sticking to a trusted platform where you're comfortable makes more sense than jumping between sites for small odds differences. Although if you are one of the types of professional bettors or those placing large wagers, even a small difference can compound over time, making odds comparison a worthwhile strategy.

Overall, it’s about balancing convenience and profit, and choosing what works best for your betting style. In the long run, consistency and discipline is more important than marginal differences in odds. Betting should be about strategy, not just chasing tiny advantages. Always understanding the game and having a solid betting plan will always be more important than focusing on slight odds variations.

But it is still good to check the odds especially if you are betting substantial amount of money. But for comparison purposes, I also check other sites and see their odds. Though the difference is not that much, but at least get the pulse of the betting community. It can help you assess also which particular betting line you will bet on if it is not the major betting line.
Though I only do the rigid comparison if I am betting big. If not, couple of odds sites are more than enough to know where they are at. Because for sure, those sites already did their job to check other sites, right?

That is, realize that betting odds differences don't really matter much to everyone. Gamblers will choose the site they feel comfortable with, regardless of odds differences. They don't after making a higher profit if they ever win because what they pursue is to have a better experience and trust. 

How about the fees/commission? I think we should not ignore it as well. There are so many factors to look at when gambling, not just the odds. In fact, I don't believe that pro gamblers will still consider the odds alone.

This is the reality, odds are not the reason people will only choose a gambling site, only few gamblers that bet with big money that may consider the odds, most gamblers do not consider the odds because the odds are similar on almost all gambling sites. In

How about the fees/commission? I think we should not ignore it as well. There are so many factors to look at when gambling, not just the odds. In fact, I don't believe that pro gamblers will still consider the odds alone.

The withdrawal fee? I like to be in the gambling sites that have a very low withdrawal fee. I consider the fee that the odds, I do not consider the odd at all.

You don't need to be a professional bettor before you will have to be checking odds differences. People who do this are not doing it because the odds determine their winning, but they do it because they want it. They are lucky to win; let the money won be big. That's why they can easily leave a casino that offers a particular match with lesser odds and move to the one which raises the odds a little bit.

[Dunamisx]

Honestly I count this as a waste of time, for one to be checking around different platforms for odd comparison, this does not change anything about what they might stand to gain or not, see it as a chase after money in gambling, because those inclined towards earning from gambling may be involved in such behavior, while at the end, all these changes nothing about winning or not as we play our respective games.

You won't find such differences often, that's actually very hard to find and you have to do lots of research on various sports betting websites. For example, one sportsbook in Australia might have slightly different odds compared to a sportsbook in Malta and you have to use that loophole to make a guaranteed profit but it's also very hard to register on Australia sportsbook and on Malta sportsbook when you are a citizen of a different country.
Sportsbooks also often use the same provider and share the data with each other to have similar odds and to get rid of arbitrage betting. That's why it is so hard to find such odds that will give you a guaranteed profit and even if you find, there is a big chance they'll find it out that you exploit the system. You have to place a huge money on each bet to make some profit and huge bets are always investigated.
