Do you fully rely on stats before placing a bet?

[Inwestour]

My experience is in gambling and currently I rarely use data or information from statistics, I make bets based on my instincts and personal judgment. However, what I do cannot be separated from the knowledge and experience I have had, for example in sports betting.

I understand and I know that information from statistics has been processed or organized, so in that case I hesitate to use statistics in betting. I am happy with the results of my efforts, even though I have to lose, what's more, winning will bring joy to me personally.

When choosing a bet, I evaluate not only the statistics but also the teams current form, their schedules, news, injuries, and anything else that could influence the outcome of the upcoming match. Statistics are also important, but they alone aren't enough for the full analysis I usually do before choosing a bet.

I usually go with numbers and instinct both. Before the game you have to predict and after the game you have match the outcome. If you have been correct, dont get overconfident and think that you have been good at predictions but you got lucky that thr prediction matched. It might not repeat in the next game and hence you should not take the next bet lightly.

As far as you're doing sports prediction, you have to face the fact that there's the part where you do your analysis and a part where you allow your luck pull you through. Doing one at the negligence of another wouldn't help that much because the outcome of whatever prediction you do is totally dependent on how lucky you are with your prediction and wether or not you're analysis is accurate.

Again, you have to trust your analysis and instinct as well because both are part of what will helps you improve on your winning stats.

I mean this was still gambling so it was still going to be depending on some luck in the end, statistics for sure is a good reference that we can use or strategy but luck is still or always needed there, you could say that one team is not going to lose in a game but there are some factors that you might not know that could lead for them to losing, For sure stats these days are now better and it is surely on edge when making a bet, I would pesonally relay on stats and numbers since it can surely increase the chances of winning even though it wasn't going to be 100% guaranteed win but overall it is still a good bet for me.

If I'm going to an entertainment and want some fun, I'll just go straight with my instict probably my favorite team or player, but if I really want to win, the bet would stick to the stats and numbers for a higher chance of winning. Either way, there is always luck involved, so I might lose or win anyway, so I might as well just bet randomly, I might get lucky and win by picking the wrong team.

I have been betting only on statistics for a while and sometimes I have also considered the team's conditions. But nothing is consistent and that is not possible. So I look at the team's condition along with statistics when betting. If the team is in good form, then the team's chances of getting positive results increase. Statistics are very effective in understanding the condition of a team. Those who have good statistics will definitely do well. In betting, even a good team can lose to any team for any reason and that is why we should not rely on anything specific.

What do you think, do you trust the numbers 100%, mix them with instinct, or go with your own read?

We can not deny it that stats is the primary data that is pictured while analysing a game before making decisions otherwise, it is ideal that we are just picking points blindly that does not implement a key of getting and hedge.

Although while we may rely on the statistics, I don't find the displayed stats of the bookie to be comprehensively reliable as a data to make my conclusion, further research can be made and there comes the oversight of proble to adopt your personal strategies to compare the teams and highlights what you think could possibly happen in the game because history in a competitive game may maintain consistent or contrary.

These days, we have tons of websites showing every possible stat. Head-to-head, form, injuries, advanced numbers, everything is easy to access. In theory, we already have all the info we need. So why do most gamblers still lose?

If everyone is looking at the same data, are we really gaining an edge, or just following the crowd? I don’t have exact numbers, but it feels like relying purely on stats doesn’t lead to consistent wins. If it did, more bettors would be profitable long term.

Maybe full reliance on stats is just a smart-looking mistake.

I honestly think that reliance on stats alone in sports betting is indeed a smart looking mistake as you initially termed it, and the reason for this is because we already should know by now that stats alone isn't that gateway to consistent winning in sports betting, if it was, most casinos would have gone bankrupt by now with that amount of information and stats about clubs flying all over the Internet.

So what then ensures consistent winning in betting? Well, the answer to this question is what we already know, which is luck, many sports bettors till date still don't understand the place of luck when it comes to sports betting, stats won't help bettors win consistently, knowledge won't help either, only the lucky are the ones who win consistently.

How frequently do you do your analysis when you want to bet using sportbook. At least this will help those newbies that don't think analyzing before gambling is important.  At least gamblers need to take their time to go to some of the prediction websites to check what are the predictions for the day on different matches. This can help gamblers to make excellent decisions when selecting the club to bet your money so that your winning rate can be increased which can be better than when you predicted the bets yourself.

It is true that research is very important before gambling, gambling based only on guess without research is not right at all, as a result the risk of losing money increases manifold. Gambling based on the research of others is not right at all. When you gamble regularly based on the research of others, you will never become a responsible gambler. The results of gambling are completely unpredictable, so it is wise to gamble based on your own research.

There are times they look helpful, but most often don't rely on them too much. There are weeks games don't favour you, red card are not expected in games but they happened frequently and if the team don't have goals earlier, they may waste the only opportunity you have to make money with them. I will still use Barcelona with Atletico, they did messed up that beautiful game with red card and yet they didn't have early goals couple with wasted penalty opportunity.

Most of the time I've gotten success in gambling is when I used my instinct to predict games, I've been using statistics for more predictions before but it doesn't seems to give me the results I wanted. I came to use my instinct based on how I know each teams according to the table, results and odds.

But I didn't make a deep analysis on them, a slight glance on the teams in accordance with the odds and the strength of the teams from my instinct and how I know their strength. These methods of predictions gave me a another strategy to use for winning.

Stats is the most important thing when it comes to gambling because it gives you a direction to games and what is expected out of each games even though it won't be accurate but you will have a knowledge of the game you are about to play so stats plays a fundamental role when it comes to gambling, that one uses stats doesn't mean he or she must win the bet but it just for you to be pre-inforrmed about how the team plays and their previous performances , those information can actually help a gambler to win because he will know the strength and weaknesses of every team he wants to stake with.


I haven't rely on stats before because most times I don't even have time to analyze a game before betting, I can literally call a friend and ask for code and probably reshuffle the ones he has sent to my liking and what I want. But the earlier we realized that gambling has to do with luck will be better for us because one can depend on his instincts and still won't win, so for me I don't rely on stats I just book with my instincts and allow luck play the rest role if I'm going to win or lose.

Do we still have sport bettors who still treats stats more than just information bank that can inform our decision making process but not the decision itself, sport bettors already know how and what to do and treat stats, combination of stats and personal efforts is not even enough to rely on since sport betting is a game of chance and luck no one can tell exactly how a team will perform during the match.

Hopefully relying on stats don't guarantee you wins because mainly gambling is all about luck plus you can't get every results accurately cause they are basically difficult to access.. for me I see stats as irrelevant and a distraction most times cause they make you become so over depended and confidence whereas your chances are just based on luck so I rather go in with my instincts.

Can't deny that some data are made to fool viewers. Even though you are a follower, it is still hard to prove that it was right and realistic. Instinct and our trust are the only real things we can rely on. I bet on them because I believe they could win.

Of course, analysis plays a role in gambling, but it doesn't mean it will be a factor in winning. Whether we like it or not, no matter how good your analysis is or how much time you spend gathering data, it won't assure you of a win.

The best bets (or most profitable for a player) tend to come from an idea that you think the bookmaker has mispriced certain odds. If the bookmaker things something is more guaranteed then you are likely to get measly payouts in return. It's true across many parts of life though, where the most creative and independent thinkers come up with ideas that go against the established facts. Those who see things that AI and it's thousands of datasets analysis still cannot comprehend will have a better chance of making money.

It is good to follow-up using stat when playing bets because one of the reasons for using stats means you are not gamnling blindly but playing the bet based on what you know and what you understand but when it comes to gambling it is important to understand that gambling can never be predicted,  itvis just a game of luck. When it comes to game likebsport games anything can happen, so rely on stat for gambling is never a guarantee to win gambling, you can still make use of stat and still lose big. Just try your luck and gamble with the amount that you can afford to lose.

[Miles2006]

Being strategic involves studying stats to know what’s next either to identify the weaker team, I don’t fully rely on stats although I always check out how teams challenge each other when facing their different opponent besides this pattern is helpful in terms of knowing what game to predict. The stats method don’t work all the time because not all club with higher chance of wining won the game despite the Possession so everyone has to be very careful not to put all eggs in one basket.

Compensating with numerical data makes us not blindly speculate but can very much be hazardous to our financial future. We know that statistics is only a tool of navigation, yet there is still that aspect of pure chance determining the result of sporting events. When we prostrate ourselves on old habits this dissatisfaction with unexpected developments is such agony. Only betting what we can afford safe with helps us to avoid the stresses of the heavy load of life.

To be a guide it may be understandable but when making this a benchmark is clearly a mistake because for statistics actually does not really guarantee in the bets made.
Indeed, statistics will be very influential and can be important as an initial reference material to increase the probability that we have to decide on a bet but on the one hand when this is the only benchmark for betting it is clearly a mistake.

When we decide to bet there should be several things we should consider and statistics are only one of several variables that should be considered. If only statistics are the benchmark then it is possible that our confidence will be destroyed from the start because our thoughts are too confident in what has happened but do not pay attention to conditions and several other aspects that must be considered as well before betting.

It is highly risky of anyone to rely on previous figures to make all their betting decisions. The statistics do give us the picture of initial state of things, but we also must be attentive to actual state of things on the ground. Failure to consider unexpected circumstances would most definitely be followed by a big disappointment. The analysis of each variable should be balanced since this is the key to avoiding the same pitfalls.

That's why I try to emphasize that statistics can be used as an initial reference but not as a benchmark in the previous post because before we bet there are several things that we should also pay attention to apart from statistics. Because even a favorite club that is good in terms of statistics may not be a balance for betting when the situation is not possible.

I want to make an example of matches in La Liga for some big clubs at the beginning of the season where Barcelona and Real Madrid always have very good statistics but they also cannot immediately be used as a bet even though the favorite at that time for 1x2 because of some problems such as injuries to players that actually interfere with performance. So from here we have a broader view of statistics because statistics are only one variable of the many variables that we need to consider before we bet.
