Is This Blind Betting?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

You don’t really check too much stats, injuries, line movement or anything like that, you just go with the team that looks stronger. I think a lot of bettors started like this. Betting on the favorite feels safer, because they are favorite for a reason right? But sometimes that is also where the trap is. The odds are low, the payout is not that good, and one bad game can already wipe out a few small wins.

Quite alright, the odds might be small, we may also choose to consider our favorite as well, but to be honest, we need to go more deeper into knowing about their form before placing our bets on them, who are the major key players performing, what is their previous track record, consider also the strength of the opposition the efficient, this is why we need to research will before gambling so that we make the right choice of match to play, and we shouldn't be deceived by the odd given.

Like you always pick the favorite because in your mind they have the better chance to win anyway, so why make it complicated. You don’t really check too much stats, injuries, line movement or anything like that, you just go with the team that looks stronger. I think a lot of bettors started like this. Betting on the favorite feels safer, because they are favorite for a reason right? But sometimes that is also where the trap is. The odds are low, the payout is not that good, and one bad game can already wipe out a few small wins.

So for those who have been doing this, how was your experience?

Was it actually fun and profitable for you, or just fun but not really profitable in the long run?

This isn't a big problem because some bettors don't mind getting the smallest odds, mind you your description is more focused on gamblers who really need the money, it's not all bettors that want that cash so they are fine with winning or losing small odds.

Getting wiped out on those small wins is acceptable as well, like I have said it doesn't matter to some people, the reason why you are gambling is not the same reason why they are gambling.

Some gamblers are having a good time risking small money to make another small money, because gambling is not a source of income to them and it's also not a do or die game, they are just having a good time is all.

Doesn’t really work because they can’t continue winning forever, the favorite doesn’t  always end up the victor ant they can’t wage small amount ( small wins ).. Their risk is always on their high wager.. Once it hit they lose most if not all they earned.

Gambling isn’t easy there’s nothing easy about those choice that’s why most people will just point spread + parlay + small wager to get more profits ..

I prefer parlay though and I don’t blindly pick favorites for ever games.

So for those who have been doing this, how was your experience?

I used to bet like that, and I thought betting on a great club felt safer, but I learned my lesson after a few losses. Furthermore, betting that way isn't very profitable, as the multipliers are usually quite small. So, once a loss occurs, it is difficult to reverse that loss.

Well, I don't think betting like that is a problem as long as we don't overly seek profit (win). I still occasionally make such blind bets, but I do so purely for entertainment, and when I want to enjoy a match in my spare time. So, I hope everyone can follow my approach to betting like that, especially bettors who don't want to analyze a match beforehand. In addition, the most important thing for you to do is bet with money you can afford to lose.

Responding to the title, yes, betting only on the favorite is blind betting. Everyone, by impulse, just wants to bet on the stronger team, which is obviously the favorite team. When bettors focus only on the favorite team without really checking their current form, injuries, management news, and other updates that may affect the bet, it can still be considered blind betting. Betting is unpredictable, so their are possibilities of twists at the 11th hour.

Betting on the favorite team is something many people do for fun just because they are great supporters of that team. If they are going to make betting on the favorite team alone a strategy, then I consider that blind betting.

[Slow death]

In my case, I first analyze the game myself to determine who I consider the favorite, and then I place my bet on the team I consider the favorite. I don't bet without analyzing the games, and I don't bet solely on the favorite chosen by the bookmakers. Because I believe that even though the bookmakers have analyzed the games extensively and determined the favorite, they might still be wrong.

So it's better that I also analyze the games myself, and if the scenario happens where the favorite I determined after much analysis is the same as the favorite determined by the bookmaker, then I become even more optimistic about my bet. Of course, I always manage my bankroll well and only bet money that I can afford to lose.

[leonair]

I don't actually bet in this way that I will always bet on my favorite team in the match. And I don't think it's a wise betting idea either.

Even though we know that in gambling, everything depends on luck, even in sports gambling, since there is some opportunity that can be identified from analysis and then bet, in this case we should not lose that opportunity.

And I don't think the experience will be very good either. Because if your favorite team is always the underdog team, your winning ratio will be very low.

You bet on your favorite team, it is definitely enjoyable. But if you always decide, you will lose a lot. This is because no matter how strong your favorite team is, they play against different teams in different series, sometimes they have to play against better teams than them and then they lose. So instead of always betting on your favorite team, if you do two analyses on their previous performance, then you will be able to do a lot of potential analysis and at that time your loss amount can be reduced. However, no one can guarantee that the predictions he makes will be completely correct. So, you must take risks and do not use a large amount of money in gambling.

Betting all favorites could be profitable short term but in the long run you'll probably lose; especially if you just bet blindly based on the odds
I admit I like to bet on favorites often but sometimes I will go for a small underdog with odds like 2.1-2.15

Personally I feel like betting on favourites can be very tricky, so I try as much as possible to avoid betting on them all the time, except if the need be at that particular time. Betting on underdogs can be fun, in fact, I feel I stand a much better chance of actually hitting a reasonable win with betting on the underdogs. Others might have a contrary opinion or point of view on this, but this is just my stance.

Is unwise to bet on your favorite without checking their current stats and formation because this things are the key vital things to know when placing a bet on your favorite team, just like what we experience in the last Manchester City game which hard a 1:1 goals records, bettors want straight to give Manchester City straight winning, but in the end, they lost they bet because the match didn't go in their favor,.

Was it actually fun and profitable for you, or just fun but not really profitable in the long run?

Like for when i was a serious bettor who bets on sports games not to have fun but to try to make money, this type of betting was neither fun nor profitable for me, and you are right when you said this is how many of us began our betting adventure because this is actually and truly how I began betting.

Back then, I had not solid knowledge of any term and their performance because I wasn't a fan of football games, infact, I wasn't a fan of sports in general because the only thing I used to watch and had good knowledge on wast wresting, and when I got into betting, I thought I would be able to bet on wresting matches but unfortunately, I leant this wasn't possible because wresting games and outcomes were predetermined.
So I started betting on football games by always following the crowd, the team I see was the favourite and had alot of bets which shows from their small odds, I would bet there and surprisly, I still ended up losing more bets than I won, until I start watching matches and began to learn to do my own analysis and research before placing bets, then things bagan to change and definitely changed.

Personally I would say that it is profitable but not in the long run, the wining doesn't come all the time it only comes once a while and I feel that betting on low odds is the best because the chance of winning is high compared to those with higher odds.  I'm this set of gamblers that doesn't like taking unnecessary risk, Although I know all risk is necessary in gamble since it's a game of luck but I would rather stick to the once that has a high chance of winning than the ones with low chance because I believe if I keep going with that method some day I will win.

[JoyMarsha]

My bets are mostly on favorite teams with a few ordinary teams that my intuition asked me to add to my bet for increased odds. What I found out from this approach is that sometimes the favorite team could be the one that could make you lose a bet that you were to win, and those teams that weren't your favorite, your predictions were right about them. That feels bad to know that the anticipated bets you long for a win, what cancels your win is your favorite team you have high hopes on

[AVE5]

Honestly I don't regularly use the bookie stats to justify my games outcome. I only compares from their past events especially recent events records to know the teams position in the league.
I don't look out to players injury or key players that by speculations would cause the team flaws if the player isn't going to play the match.
Although that alone could be a weakness to the team but when betting on the favourites I believe a big team is a big team even in the absent of the key players.
I don't just like stressing too much when for just analysing games to bet on.

Every odd is a trap, what changes your fate is the option you select, and how you play the combinations with them altogether. On your lucky day, you can win with a long list of favourites (provided your options are not the same), but you can barely win a ticket that bears 5 underdogs with bigs odds. For long-term profits, I'd recommend proper analysis on the favourites to make a ton of money.

So for those who have been doing this, how was your experience?

Not bad at all. Just don't go the same route everytime, understand how to combine the unlimited options that you have and you'll strive in the game.

If you are so desperate to make money from gambling, in the long run, you not going to find gambling fun, and you might not even be profitable if you properly calculate your profit and loss. I have been gambling for some time now, and honestly I don’t really win so much from gambling, but since I don’t gamble with the amount that’s going to affect me, or with the amount which if I lose, am no longer going to find gambling fun to me.

Most people that are cashing money from gambling are not even profitable, because they are always so desperate, and mostly they end up making wrong decisions sometimes, they don’t even stop gambling even when it’s obvious that they are suppose to stop.

Sure, this message is not for me. I will never pick an odd without checking the little details because the little details are the ones that need more attention.
Well, I dont want to believe that some people would actually be betting this way. It is wrong and would yield profit in the long run. A good bettor will always check the important information.

[Russlenat]

what cancels your win is your favorite team you have high hopes on

Cancel means you lose, and sometimes it is hard to accept because we were too confident, especially when we are biased with our bet since we backed our favorite team.

Most likely, if it is our favorite team, we also place a bigger amount because we feel more confident. Honestly, I believe that is one reason why people lose control because emotion gets involved.

Blind betting or biased betting can make us emotional, and that can lead to wrong decision making in the next games or the next bets.
Speaking from my personal experienced.

[ryzaadit]

No. It's common things not blind betting.

Blind betting is a bet without knowledge for the things you bet, these betting on the most favourite things is mostly because based on statistic performance that's team are very good. That's why is not blind betting.

It's just a common things.

[Makus]

Betting on the favorite teams don't really add much value to your bet unless you accumulate a lot of games but from experience these teams are not always In their best form and a lot of times the bookmakers hide these details so they can use it as a trap.if you don't think out of the box you would always go for the team with the high chance of winning as indicated by the bookies but if you don't do your personal research you are not going to be able to spot the red flags, this is the reason why doing analysis and research is important.

i also agree with you that, a lot of bettors and gamblers started this way by betting on a team with better possible winning odd and what i simply mean is that, some where only betting and picking games by odd without doing any previous checking of the actors that you mentioned above and i have heard cases of people who reported more success in this type of betting but over the time lost hope in that very strategy because it later failed or either the gambler got more greedy.
i wouldn't call it blind betting but i would rather call it a strategy because just as i said, gambling is a game of luck and what ever we do to stay profitable is a strategy
