Do you fully rely on stats before placing a bet?

[Orpichukwu]

I usually analyze the data to make a decision, but if my "instinct" tells me otherwise, that's what I'll follow. We so often see data pointing to one outcome and, in the end, we see another, so I don't fully trust statistics, but I find them useful.

And how successful have your instincts been in helping you win compared to the analysis you make based on the data you see? Sometimes our instincts can also point to the wrong part; we just have to choose which one we can go with.

As for me, I don't always follow my instincts when it comes to betting; I also don't always rely on data. Whatever I consider to work for me, I go with the result can still end up playing against what was predicted.

The reason we dont win even when we take all the necceasy stats into consideration is because we dont bet on a single game. The more games you predict, the higer chance of you losing. I'm not saying playing a single game will guarantee you any winning, but it will limit your chances of a loss. More games means more chances of loss.

You are right, the only possible way to always experiencing win everyday is by betting on a single bet. There would be less losses and redirect even gambling habit and addiction to minimal if practiced fully. A gambler can quickly recover his funds if what he does is striking to reduce his long games, adopts single bet and everything rearrange itself to where it's supposed to be.

I used odds for analysis, but it doesn't mean I rely on it fully, whatever the results are. Still, our instincts play some role in gambling. Our personal judgment is not just based on what we see in their track record alone but also on the health of their players before the game.

I try betting all in small odds and all on the favorite team, but guess what? I just made 5/10. Well, not totally bad, but on the other hand, I can prove that results are unpredictable.
Luck is still what we need to win.

Actually, my instincts have been helping me a lot lately, especially when it comes to football betting. Some bets were based on instinct, and I won most of them, while for others I used statistics. With some teams that were considered favorites based on statistics, I followed the data and lost. But, as always, I believe it's a matter of luck, not instinct or data. In the end, I simply wasn't lucky.

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

Exactly, those are the records that can't determine the outcome of a match, if we look at the statistics from any side for the home & away match of Inter Milan against Bodø/Glimt before it started, Inter Milan was superior to the Norwegian team. However, what happened was that Bodø/Glimt won both matches, home & away.

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

I used all the data I could find, but that alone wasn't enough to determine my team's choice. For example, in a situation where a big team gives +0,5 handicap to its opponent, who can be said to be a weak team, that's suspicious to me. On the few occasions I had, I chose the team that the big team was playing against & I ended up winning my betting slip .

I can't possibly say that I rely on stats before placing a bet rather I feel that it is necessary for me to look into the stats before placing as this is the right approach, because you can't just login in your betting account and start making random selection even though we are just doing it for fun and entertainment yet I still feel that it is necessary for us to go through the stats before placing a bet. although it is individuals choice to decide what to do while making prediction but as for me I usually check the Stats before making prediction just to ensure that I'm following the right step.

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.

Stats are for people who aren’t aware of their sport, club or player which means you are willing to make a bet with less or no information about it. I believe that relying on stats solely is killing all the fun behind gambling or sports betting.

There’s nothing that says stats makes the game easier to predict, it only gives you the previous analysis and results which has nothing to do with the future. I prefer to make bets on football and mainly focus on teams I use to watch lately and see their performance and potential.

No, unless it's in boxing where they rarely make mistakes, in football predictions and statistics lately they've fallen far short. You have to do a much more personal analysis to give a better verdict. In fact, I think the probabilities and statistics Offered out there aren't as Effective as expected , so we should do our analyses better and not rely so much on Emotions.

It is not true and it is ultimately not workable that a player will be winning every day by adjusting to the single bet approach. It could be a less risky bet to parlay bet but it has its own challenges that you are not looking at.

To be betting on single games you will be required to use high stakes to have a high potential profit. In that case, losing on a single bet can cost you 3x sum of money that a parlay won't dew to larger accumulative odds. And you can be a gambling addict wether is a single bet you only play if you are not discipline.

The individual sharp analysis is a great benefit to attempt to go through the uncertainties of soccer betting. The field of general statistics rarely embodies unique and unpredictable facts. When we are able to conduct research on different variables by ourselves, our ultimate decisions will be quite clear. The absence of emotional impact in the process of processing this data makes us get as many betting outcomes as possible.

Analysis is very important in betting. However, analysis can never guarantee winning in betting. We find a lot of information openly with which we can make a possible prediction and I think everyone tries to analyze that data and make an accurate prediction. But since nothing is guaranteed here, I think it is foolish to think that by doing analysis it will be possible to somehow win 100% in gambling. Actually, I never think that I will win from gambling and that it has to be regular and on every bet I make.

I usually rely on my brain mixed with some stats but today I tried something new. I fully expect to lose the $50 i put on a parlay but I watch a sports show for 3 hours every weekday and the company that airs the show released a new feature on their app that is Sports AI. If anyone is curious the app is Fox Sports and the AI is found in the bottom right corner of the page.

Anyways, you can ask any sports related question and get an analysis so I asked about 4 college basketball games as an experiment. Like I said, I expect to lose, but I'm curious to see how the AI picks go.

**EDIT**

The 4 games the AI model advised me on were

Western Michigan vs Miami (OH) Redhawks  Pick - Miami -10.5

Princeton vs Harvard  Pick - Harvard ML

Illinois vs Michigan  Pick - Illinois ML

Columbia vs Brown  Pick Columbia ML

The AI went 2-2. Miami won by 2 points coming nowhere close to covering but sustaining their undefeated record to go 29-0. Harvard won, Columbia won, but Illinois got crushed by Michigan. Illinois kept it close but Michigan pulled away late in the 2nd half and dominated the boards.

I will probably play around a bit more and give it a couple more shots, but with smaller money. $50 isn't alot but a little big for experimenting. I would not suggest anyone use AI for predictions unless you're just having fun.

I don't believe in 100% numbers, I mix them with my instincts, not all bets are in accordance with data, because there are so many things that may happen in each match, this is what makes data useless so it is difficult to rely on 100% of the data to decide on bets, combining it with instinct is more interesting because it will trigger our confidence to bet on our confidence and grow a little hope of luck in the bets we make, when we win this is more fun.

Exactly, some results are inconsistent compared to what happens on the pitch so i don't generally use statistics to analyze a game but the team's performance during the match. It could  be goal scoring ability,  possession,  frequent corners or foul occuremces depending on the team's objective Ness.

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.

It is always wise to gamble with an amount of money that you can afford to lose even though you make use of stats to predict or you have good strategies. Stats only increases your chances of winning but a lot of bettors get overly confident when betting based on stats  but they forget that there is nothing sure about betting. like you said, it is all about trying your luck but the most important thing is to gamble responsibly.

[Gentle_Soul]

Do I rely on stats yes but do I  completely rely on stats the answer is no sometimes why is I make use of stats I some how put my instincts and feelings in-between especially for  teams I really believe in and wish they could win so even while all odds are sometimes against them I still go on using them and placing the bet, sometimes it turns out well and some other times it turns out to be an uncalculated risk but however the outcome I take it for the fun of it.
