A question for sports bettors

[fredericktaylor]

The way everyone of us research for gambling differs, some will watch the match, check on other updates online and then analyze all together to arrive at something closer to what they wanted, doing all these can help to an extent, but we must not forget that everyone of us has his or her own developed strategy used when it comes to gambling or playing any sport or games of our choice.

We all have our differences in strategy, which we either develop to help us create a closer chance of winning than just placing our bet blindly, but whatever we are doing using different strategies and however we use available data and statistics, it all boils down to us just increasing our chance of winning and not having the outcome of the game at our palms.

Taking gambling research serious is good, but the thing way I'm seeing everything that has to do with gambling is that, if you make a research and gamble you will notice why you lose, but if you dont make a research and lose, you will not know why you lose and your chances of losing in gambling is high, that's why is good for someone to make a research and also known the out come of it, wining gambling is a luck and everyone who gamblers is interested to win not to lose, so i have not seen any reason why someone who wants to win will not make inquiries in gambling, whatever action we take during gambling research, is for the benefit of the gamblers.

It is true that none of us can be sure of winning in gambling, it is never possible, but it is better to gamble by doing our research, as it helps us understand better where we were wrong, why we could not win, and then we can keep our minds calm and be limited with ourselves. When we conduct gambling through research, we can maintain self-control over ourselves, whether we win or lose, and therefore it becomes easier to accept defeat.

like your question implied that should give you an idea but it doesn't make it analysing automatically...there is a difference between analyzing and watching a game...Anyone that's interested in sports can watch a game but it doesn't mean that they know how to analyze a match..you can also use what you see in those games as one of the your analytical tools but that won't be everything you need

 

You are correct mate, just what I said too. Making analysis is important, not because a bettor that watch match often can not predict some game but it's very important to also check for some changes, another thing too is that if you are betting on more than one game, you will surely have to do analysis. OP watch just one game always and he has mastered the capabilities of his favorite team that's why he probably don't do analysis but everyone is not the same.

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?

In fact if you watch the match live then you can get a different idea about the teams condition, the players form and the momentum of the game. This not only help when betting but also increase the fun of watching the game many time. You are right that many bettor actually rely on their eye and gut feeling, especially when watching the game live or in play betting which gives a big advantage

I would say that watching the game and analyzing are two different thing. Analysis mean checking all the detail like stats, trends, who has injury, what the odd are like before placing a bet. Speaking for myself I only watch the highlight of the game and before placing a bet I also check the teams recent form, head to head record and even travel fatigue or weather condition

So watching the game regularly increase knowledge but to bet intelligently you also need a little data and analysis

You are right mate. I think it is safe to gamble by doing research or checking  statistics. Gambling is based on luck though. But if we can analyze the theory and data properly then  the chances of winning in sports betting are high. Sometimes we may  lose the bet even after proper analysis. But the chances of  winning are high. And you mentioned an important point that it is easy to control yourself. And I am sure that those who are only involved in sports gambling do not get addicted to it easily. They can control themselves.

Not one team, but few because when you watch matches of your favorite team, and they are against another particular team, you also pick up knowledge about that team as well.

That's right, we have different strategies but the goal is the same,to increase the chances of winning. It sounds ridiculous to gamble on sports betting blindly because, basically, sports betting can increase the chances of winning, so gambling blindly on sports betting is like throwing money away, except for slot machines that depend on luck.

I get what you mean, in sports betting especially in football/soccer that I know well off the only analysis I do is the performance each club in the present season, to know very well if they are in good form Or not, and also watching their matches as well is also analysis.

So watching their match is analysis on its own but adding it with some other backup information is also very important as well, doing all these together will form the (sports analysis).

The chance of winning sport bet can be high but that does not mean that you can be having a successful wins everytime.
Sometimes a little mistake from the club you predicted to win can lead to a total cut of the bet slip leading to loses.
Sport betting is just luck for you to be making profits always but I have tested different prediction strategies without 85% accuracy.
