Do you bet according to the market trend?

[Hispo]

I think it is better to follow ones gut, instead of chasing trends and trusting the general sentiment the market has on those teams we intent to bet for.
It the masses were always right, then the market would feel and look very different from what we see today.

So, I rather to trust myself and not to get influenced on whatever the market feels on coming matches.

Betting is never predictable, and even the underdogs can surprise those who bet against them and cost them a lot of money.

Gamblers are interested in taking bets by following the market trend because they expect that the comparatively strong team will win because the situation indicates that. In many cases, gamblers are right, but there is no guarantee that it will always be the same result. Because anything can happen in sports, any team can outperform that team from the comparatively strong team.

Therefore, gamblers should research the match day situation before placing a bet, rather than just following the market trend, so that even if they get an unexpected result, they can at least console themselves that they took the bet after researching it.

It is very common to see, a club that has been doing well in the last few matches, the chances of people predicting them for a win over the team that has been in good shape for some time are there. People want to predict a win for a team that is performing well over one that is not. You don't blame anyone for that because everyone wants to bet on a team that will have a sure win, not remembering that bets don't always end as predicted. Someone can lose in unexpected ways

At a certain point, I can say that betting on the superior team is not entirely a bad idea because that is the best possible outcome. For me,  rather than betting on direct winnings I would rather bet on goals, corners or double chance. This is mostly for a game that is likely to end either way a win from both competitive sides.

Manchester City might not be in their best form but I cannot guarantee a final loss no matter the situation. Pep Guardiola has a really good record with finals and I think Arteta still has a lot to learn on the long run.

Nowadays we see people betting on the market trends, what I meant by market trend is when people see superior team as people to win without them considering some factors, and circumstances that may occurred while the game is running; such as corner, penalty, free kick or even offside. All these could make you lose towards the superior team, so I want know if truly you consider all these before placing your bet or you just bet towards the trend and hope to win. Similar cases could be Arsenal 0 : 2 Man City, where many people believed on the market trends and give winning to Arsenal without knowing that Man City could outperform them. At this point, do you draw your conclusions to place your bet on superior team or underdog?

A lot of people do bet with the trend but I feel like the real breakaway players end up going with their gut and finding the underdog winner but hey you know what its so tough to tell with sports sometimes.  I feel like the general consensus is usually right but there are always surprises

[ruykeri]

I will give a slightly different opinion in this case. How accurately the bettor analyzes the match has more influence than the market trend. There is a doubt that all matches will play equally well just beacouse that is storng team . Even during the game, small mistakes and bad decisions can affect the outcome of the match. Good betting decisions depend on various things including the team's recent form, head to head record, player injury updates. Experienced bettors bet based on these. There are very few people who bet on trends.

This season is completely different from other season because there's no superior that is trustworthy. Arsenal was the only team that looks quite superior this season but yet they couldn't make it through against Manchester city, so I think it's necessary to do a proper research and analysis before betting on any team.

Because nobody expected this result from Manchester city due to the fact that Arsenal were ahead of them in the premier league and Champions but everything just went upside-down. So I will never in any way get carried away by any team.

This is quite a typical situation in most sports games. Users just based their bet on whats the general choice, but it wouls be much better if used some analytics and consider all potential factor why some team or underdog can outpace their opponent like a news that the strong player is injured or theres absent on their roster or not will be in that game something like that.

User must spot these circumstances and add it to weigh when doing a bet too.

[Charles-Tim]

I prefer to go for the trend jinstead.

Similar cases could be Arsenal 0 : 2 Man City, where many people believed on the market trends and give winning to Arsenal without knowing that Man City could outperform them.

Do you mean handicap? The reason I asked the question is because both Arsenal and Manchester City are both good clubs and none is an underdog between the two.

Or you mean live bet of what both clubs played in EFL Cup final recently?

[Doan9269]

No matter how you bet don't always expect that you will outsmart the sports book in gambling, this is not about the strategy you apply or there is measure you took, some things will just be disappointing and you will see them that you perform below expectation even when you expected that they should deliver the best for you, therefore take it a 50 by 50 chance of winning or losing if you are gambling, because we don't know what may come after the performance of anything until they are done with the match and we see the final results.

[Bluedrem]

Although my sports betting record is not very good because I bet by analyzing the market i.e. when the casino sides are betting more on the weaker team i.e. when there is a possibility of winning more money by supporting the weaker team then I bet on the weaker team maybe it is because of my greed. But it should be remembered that although the strong team is not always strong but in most cases they are strong i.e. the game is won by them in most cases. I think most gamblers bet on the team that wins more money like me.

While market trend is not completely a guarantee of winning a bet, it also plays a crutial role too. Most times we predict games based on team's form, even though something may happen while playing the match and make a big team to loose ,  such thing does not happen so often. While placing bets, it is essential you make some research before placing your bet, don't just give winning to a team with big name without knowing their present form, doing that can rob you of potential winning.There are some teams with historical records making it difficult for some big teams to defeat small team so easily. When you are able to place your bet based on research, you will be able to play informed bet.
Placing bet based on odds is also another thing that deceive gamblers, teams performance or trend is important to consider but do it with caution as it can fail sometimes.

Weaker team in paper always pays higher. Stats sometimes deceive player to keep betting on paper strong team even though with very small odds because they think it’s guaranteed win and they just compensate with higher bet amount to increase profit.

You’re correct that most of the time strong team win but the return was so low like if you won x5 and lose x1 you will still ended up at loss due to low odds.

To be honest with you on this betting according to the market trend, it has been the reason why i have been experiencing losing  since all this while because most of my prediction is basically only on the current teams that is currently in forms, before i could know it those big teams that are supposed to win will end up losing the match, till one day i thought of improving my skills so that i can be able to be lucky of win, that was the day i stopped predicting base on market trend but to focus more on analyzing the outcome of the game before concluding on my prediction and also i have been winning since then.

[Kelvinid]

Because you can just ignore it, as it is one basis of betting. It is part of the analysis. It is better than betting blindly. Of course, this never gives assurance. However, at least we have a better chance of winning rather than betting on the underdogs.

Well, we can't demand that everyone follow this uncertainty. We can make our own analysis and basis for our betting. But for me, although I'd never win much, I still believe that it works on me.

Anyway, gambling is all about discovering strategies that work for us. Not for others.

[suzanne5223]

I consider gamblers who use the market trend to determine their sports betting decision as blind gamblers, while i consider the gamblers that look into other possibilities of each team winning as sharp bettors, or value bettors.
Nevertheless, i believe gamblers who mostly bet on games based on market trends are mostly gamblers that dont have much time to do the analysis of the possible results of the game.

[batang_bitcoin]

This is the same as betting according to the news for those teams involved to the upcoming match. It's a common strategy that you only get a few information and you decide which one to bet or if you'll bet for it. I think it's a fine thing to follow the market and what it tells to the fans recently. That also shows how updated you are and responsible for your bets because you're gathering data before you bet. It's a must for all sports bettors to be like that. If you take care before you place a bet, it might also take care of your win later.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Market trend, is what gives motivation in gambling for me there is what I see as force of attraction when one see bigger team playing with smaller team mostly when the Head to head can't be compared, such situations give confidence that one is likely to win without hesitation can increase the staking power or strength do to the market. Football game can't be completely free from emotions of what the market trend look like, the reason while most gamblers losses beyond measure is the convincing power of the market as the follow strictly but been outshine by the system power of the casino where luck is completely out as the market trend is just a surface area without showing the depth which is the outcome.

[DPHOR]

You can't really defined how the match would even go because you would be planning for another while the game could go according to how they planned, again, I would like to draw your attention that most of the matches are often being rigged and if you do know and noticed it on time you would also lose money while gambling. Nowadays, majority of people do love betting on the team they think that would give them winning and whenever the crowd go for a specific team the Game could likely go the other way round where you wouldn't think that they will surely end that way. So, to me I do not actually follow the trend instead I goes on personal finding and opinions to gamble.

[Alpha Marine]

Most of the time, the superior team/person wins, so it's normal for people to always bet on the superior team. If there are twenty matches where one team is unarguably superior to the other team in all areas, the superior team will win in about 16 out of 20 of those matches, and with those kind of chances, I don't see anything wrong with betting on the superior teams.
The problem is, when two teams that there is no undisputed superior meet, there is always a confusion. Like the Arsenal V Man City game you mentioned. Arsenal may be in a better form, but Man City is not a small team. They are not a team that Arsenal will easily win. There is a lot of chance of Man City winning the game. So in this situation, any team a person picks to win will be based on his preference. Man City winning the game was not a big shock, even thouymany people expected Arsenal to win.

Another example is the upcoming UCL tie between Barcelona is Atletico Madrid. Barcelona are obviously the better team currently, but Atleti is not a small team. They have all what it takes to win or knock out Barcelona. So if I bet on Barcelona to win, I won't be wrong and if another person bets on Atletico to win, he won't be wrong either, even though Barcelona has smaller odds. The same can be said about the Bayern Munich V. Madrid tie too.
