A question for sports bettors

[AVE5]

I remember reading some comments here that say, we spend time, 'analyzing' the matches, and I wonder, isn't watching the match, itself analyzing the match?

Analysing the games is just as collecting collecting datas of the teams past events and make your own predictions by using your own analytical strategies to make your decisions about the games outcome.
Perhaps the data's in question are informations that just contains each teams records of their past performances and also using the strengths and weaknesses of the players to make your predictions. So whether you watches the games or you reads on the news paper is the same. You just need to do your findings with legitimate source of informations.

I don't think, there is anyone here that watch all the games in sports to know every team, how they play, perhaps remember to weight the strength of each team in a match by remembering their last performance.

Statistics is not stored in the brain, not everyone can remember it vividly. Also, most people watch the premier league, not all others league. While some people watch all the leagues. Someone that watch only the premier league need to analyze matches in other league before betting on them.

Absolutely the point bud, even someone who manages to watch matches in all the leagues (which I personally say is not possible because there are times two different league matches can on play at the same time) definitely can not always remember scores played in previous games to effectively know how to place bets.

For example, team A played their last game against team B three weeks ago, and since then, team A have not appeared on any match again until now that they are going to play against team H, and the last time team A and team H played against each other was about a month ago, there is the possibility that you may not longer remember vividly how that match played out, the scores and everything, and what this mean is that it you are going to bet on this match, you will have to make analysis, research on how that last game between team A and team H ended, the scores, shots on target, ball possession and so on to be sure on who to place your bet on..

In cricket, series matches and tournament matches are different and the chances of winning of the teams also change. You may see a team playing well in bilateral series, but they cannot do well in big tournaments. On the other hand, some teams are the opposite. By watching live games and being involved in a game for a long time, you get a good idea about the teams and the match analysis does not seem like your analysis. It seems natural to you. For example, if you are asked about the result of the match before a match, then you must say that the batting lineup or bowling lineup of the "A" team is strong, the batting lineup of the opposing team is weak or the "A" team will be ahead to win due to the pitch advantage because it is playing at home or there is a player in the "A" team who always plays well against the "B" team, so the chances of winning the "A" team are more. Basically, this is the analysis, for some it is simple analysis and for some it is difficult analysis. Analysis is definitely not necessary before betting.

While analyzing game, we don't only have to check the past recoror event but we should also check the current I mean the physical form and ability of a particular team because analyzing using past events won't really help to get what the end of the game will look like. And the reason some people normally lose in Betting is because sometimes they don't work with current and physical form and the current form will tell how good or bad a particular team is.

The reason why people must do analysis before placing a bet is because they are not betting only on favorite team but they are betting on different teams and different leagues and there's no way you can memorize the outcome of every leagues and team that you like betting on, so that's why bettors love to make analysis for accuracy, but if you are only passionate about one club and you bet only on that club and also watch that club only, you might not need to do any analysis because you already know the team that can defeat your favorite team and you also know the team that they can defeat.

[Hazink]

Analysis is useful for generating more accurate predictions The goal is to make money, not just bet for the sake of betting Those who don't do any analysis won't get good results Results are directly related to our analysis, Sports betting is different from entering a casino where it all depends on luck in this case, analysis is crucial.

Analyzing is very important for sports betting. It's not something that you can just guess and play out of luck whether you want to do sports betting for fun or for profit-making. You can't do it without analyzing. That's just one thing about sports betting. Anyone who doesn't want to analyze game should never be a bettor unless they want to depend on tipster 

[Somto9Light]

If you keep up with sports you are passionate about, shouldn't that automatically give you an idea about everything? What's up with this idea of 'analyzing' the matches separately?

You know I used to think about this before, imagine paying undivided attention to a particular team. When I said undivided attention I mean you keep making analysis about them and also watch them play, but it is funny enough that even with all this information yet we can't even get it correctly. It seems to me that football game is the most difficult sport game when it comes to Predicting the outcome, Because other sport games works somehow when you go into detail, but in football analysis and research can't be enough if luck is not there all the effort is in vain.

[promise444c5]

Watching only doesn’t work in some cases..Watching only lets you know the capabilities of the team or individual you’re watchin..beyond, you would have to watch each opponent of whichever team or individual you’re supporting to make predictions, which is not possible, especially in football.

Sometimes a match is between teams that last played each other two years ago and are not in the same league. There is no way to escape the analysis part, you need extensive information and stats, not just what you might have watched.

Do you understand what I am sayin? Do you do this separate 'analysis' of games before making a bet or is merely keeping up with sports is enough for you to make your bets?

As for me, I never did this, 'analysis' thingy, I watch cricket regularly, and I know what I should be doing while making bets.

Simple analysis is what mostly I do and that's why I understand what you're saying. If you happen to watch the matches, you're also analyzing it while the game is on going. But if you want to analysis how a team you suppose to bet with play, you'll watch the past games that they've played and that's a strategy that we should do. There are times that we don't analyze anymore when it's a team that we know on how good they are and we just put that bet, wait the game to end and take those small odds profit that we have put in it. Yet, that's not 100% winning rate.

[NurseHub]

I get your point, but the honest truth is a bettor doesn't bet on the Premier League or just the most familiar league or so. There are so many clubs and leagues bettors bet on, so it's not possible to just sit and stake because you are watching them play or you have watched them play. But in single sporty betting, and staking on one of your trusted clubs, a bettor won't waste time in staking it. That's why bettors still analyse even when they watch it. Analyzing won't still guarantee winning but with help and luck by your side.

[Z-tight]

I watch football a lot, but there is no way i can have all the details i need in my head. Details like head to head, injury updates, goal scoring form, etc. That is the analysis and even if you follow the sport, you still need to check the internet for the information you need.

There are so many teams in the league and if you play games in different leagues, then you even have more work to do. So yeah, that's it, if you like to analyse before gambling, then you have to do it even if you watch a lot of the sport.

[Agbamoni]

No matter how much of a sports person that you are, there will still be a lot of things that you won't know about some teams if you don't do even if it's small search on those things and fact is that the minutest detail can sometimes influence the outcome of a game. Take for instance the ongoing African cup of nations, ersant with, you will need to do some check on them to know what you're actually doing. Those are the basic place where research is quite necessary.

This is so true. We cannot know everything about a countryside or a club, no matter how we watch football. There must be something missing out, at least to be very sure, a sports bettor will need to analyze again.

Still using the AFCON as a case study. AFCON compettions is not a long-term tournament like the domestic leagues. So you barely know the current level of performance of the countries unless you go back to history to see their past results. Most teams have not met each other for over 10 years.

Watching a match is also an analysis, but you might not really remember everything until you decide do more research about the past event that have happened. When am making my analysis in some matches, I do check records of 2 to 3 seasons, you don’t expect me to keep each team’s record in my brain, I have lots of things things thinking about, so definitely am going to forget some things, so I will have to go back to check records. But there are some times that you don’t have to do any analysis before you place your bets, because those matches won’t be so difficult to predict.

I would say most bets are placed before a match so watching matches is a form
of analysis, but teams change, injuries happen, referees change and so does the
weather - all reasons that have to be factored in.

And not everyone watches every match prior to betting,we might watch highlights
and there are plenty of sites online which offer analysis/predictions.

A lot of people bet on sports of which they dont necessarily follow a particular team.

That’s part of analyzing, sure, but there are actually different ways to do it. The more numbers and stats we have, the better, because that reduces the chance of missing important information that could improve our odds. Anyone can say they “analyze” just by watching the game, but in the end it all comes down to results.

Are we really profitable by just watching games and trusting our feel? Maybe, but I doubt it works consistently. That’s the difference with pros. They rely on data and aim for long-term results, and that’s what separates them from people who analyze based only on what they see during the game.

How can a gambler just make random bet without them doing their analysis which would shows the level and amount of accuracy they could be to gain the best possible results while gambling.
Analysis is what attributes to how successful you could become while gambling, and anyone who do not carry out the right analysis and forecast could either have lesser chances of wining and even though it is said that gambling is about luck and chances, it gives us a closer and précised level of winning.

When I place bets on sports, I mostly do it with Emocoin, because I have people around me who are talking about it and placing bets, that motivates me a lot and I don't know much about sports. In football I really like to bet but on well-known and famous events, like World Cup or league matches, but I don't do much analysis, I just listen to what they say around me and their discussions.

Go in a movie, lets say a talking movie where 90% is dialogue of 2 hours (more or less same time as watching a full football game), and bring your 10 yr old niece. The movie should be a sequel if possible.

Then ask each other to say something about the movie, a  few complimentary points and a few criticism.

Then you will understand what the difference is between watching or analyzing.

Yes watching match is also analysing match, because the whole information is right in front of you without much analysis, and making pretendiction is now easy. But what I understand is that not all gambler are sport fan,  what I mean is that not all gamblers that watch football, and that is the reason why those Gambler focus on making analysis from prediction site rather than using their instinct.

If you keep up with sports you are passionate about, shouldn't that automatically give you an idea about everything? What's up with this idea of 'analyzing' the matches separately?

keeping up on sport will Definitely and passionately give such a person everything. Like analysing the match without looking at prediction site or looking for prediction from football analyst.

Do you understand what I am sayin? Do you do this separate 'analysis' of games before making a bet or is merely keeping up with sports is enough for you to make your bets?

Sometimes I do it separately but sometimes I just place bet right away with just the analysis on my head. It is not always thesame all the time. There is always an adjustment of betting strategy.

Both may be doing the same activity, yet one can produce better output than the other. When watching a match or game, whether for enjoyment or analysis, actually watching the first requirement before that. Without watching the game, it’s hard to find the right angles for proper analysis. Sometimes, a person’s eyes are watching the match/game while their brain is actively analyzing what’s happening. Without even realizing it, we often analyze a match/game naturally as we watch it.
