Which Betting Odds Can Make You Profitable in the Long Run? 1.75, 1.90, or 2.10?

[Sammye3]

If we were to choose one set of odds to maintain when we are betting. We have like 1.75, 1.90, or 2.10. Which of these do you think will make you profitable in the long run. Regardless of what sport you are betting on.

Share based on your experience not what you read in books, as theory is not always applicable in actual betting if you believe that.

I'm asking this question because higher odds offer better payouts but are harder to win consistently while lower odds require more wins to remain profitable.


Need some real life experience here.

I think it's not about the odds, but team performance matters too. Additionally, the type of option that generates the odd is also considerable. For a team that scores on almost every game but plays against a strong team like PSG or Barca, most people would likley play the stronger team to win which the odds would be relatively low but the odds for BTTS should be a nice catch.

Smaller odds does not mean more safe, I have multiple experiences where the least odd like 1.05 or even 1.18 odd ruined my ticket and that changed my perspective about seeing small odds as the most successful odd. The sportsbook have a way of confusing bettors with the odd variation to see possible outcomes as impossible.

The table you provided is just garbage. If you seriously think that such "knowledge" will somehow help you win over the long term, then you are mistaken.

It's never garbage because it's relevant to the topic.
Just reminding you of the question, "Which Betting Odds Can Make You Profitable in the Long Run? 1.75, 1.90, or 2.10?"
So hopefully we can just stick to those odds for discussion.

Here is one example of someone who has been a tipster for 10 years, all documented:

Almsot never an under 2.0 bet.
Sorry, but you're the one who has no clue about this!

Sorry.. those are just 20 bets, its not the long term I meant.


Please let's go back to the topic, let's figure out how to win with these odds.

Well bro honestly i did not choose odds based on payments my focus is always on the result of prediction because 1.75 odd look safe but if u lose some bets consistently in a row your profit finished quickly  what i believe is odds matters but more then odds a proper bank roll management and knows when to stop matters a lot i mean discipline because majority of casinos has a house edge which beats everyone mathematically in the long run.

So, it's clear you can't be bothered to actually research a thing

And how could we go "back to the topic" when the whole essence of the topic is wrong
You're simply trying to find a way to always win, this is not how a real gambler does profits, you need to find the odds that are misplaced and take advantage of the bookie errors, this is how you beat the bank, not by chasing favorites, and trust me when it comes about favorites I've done a ton of experiments here on the forum!

That value is necessary that's why you don't just bet on every game you see , you need to carefully analyze it and hope that bookmakers made a mistake in setting the odds or you spot an obvious trap where the public will likely take the bet easily. The odds we are seeing only show the implied probability, now we need to find the real probability. However, hitting 60/100, that's kind of hard in reality, but it's not impossible.

Exactly, that's the whole point of my idea in that comment, odds represents the bookies implied probability of the games but you as a gambler can have your own pick not because of the odd but Vale found in the game. I think I have created a topic here on the forum or the other forums where I said that a bettor won a parlay of 5 draws, such bets at times is because the bettor already feel so confident that the games will be successful based on their analysis, they don't just bet on it with a hope of luck but they must have found value. Even games of 1.30 odd can go bad, so consistency with just one specific odd is not even a smart strategy in my opinion but if it works for others, it doesn't work for me and I don't consider it smart move.

From my experience betting on dota 2 esports, odds below 1.75 are much more profitable. I can have a win streak that lasts several days, but sometimes there is a trap in the option I choose. For example, I often place over/under bets, and the statistics at the time suggest that the over is likely to hit. But, just one loss can wipe out all my profits ^{(because I always increase my bet size whenever I win)}

Could you explain in more detail how this relates to the topic? Does knowing the desired win percentages actually bring you any closer to winning?
Several people have already pointed out to you that the issue has nothing to do with the odds, yet you continue to ignore this. Anyway, sticking strictly to the topic, the answer is simple: none of the odds mentioned will make you profitable in the long run.

Odds are irrelevant!
The value in odds is what matters, and this is what every tipster considers

Oh, come on! What "value" are you talking about? You just need to know the magic number to bet on, and you’ll be profitable. That’s it  

[Cryptmuster]

I don’t try to stick to any specific odds. I avoid bets with low odds because, in my view, I’m taking on more risk than the bookmaker in that case. But I also don’t try to target one particular set of odds and stick to it. Sometimes I might place bets at 1.7, while other times I might go for odds of 4.0 or even higher. It all depends on the day, the matches available, and even the bet size. So I don’t have a one size fits all approach to every bet.

[DiMarxist]

Few years back a friend of mine that Introduced me to betting used to say that a betting option of over 2.5 goals with an odd of 1.85 is profitable in the long run but after doing this for sometime he ended incurring losses. This proves that there is no betting odds that is guaranteed to be profitable in the long run because everything about betting is simply based on probability. A lot of bettors assume that it can be possible to make profit from low value odds but this is something that is not certain. There are no profitable schemes in betting, you can either win or lose, trying to use it as a way to get rich is only going to get you disappointed.

Most of the time lower odds are likely to be successful, and the reason is because in most times these gambling platforms usually award odds based on the strength of the clubs, and lower odds are mostly awarded to  the stronger teams. But on these set of odds listed, I don't like playing direct win on such odds because they are still big odds, so what I usually do is to double chance such odds to be on the safer side. On my own part I like taking lesser risk especially on the games I deem necessary to win because the possibilities of loosing your bets on high odds is very easy.

A strategy in gambling may actually prove to be profitable for some time, but it would be misleading to say or even assume that it’ll continue to be profitable in the long term because there’s indeed no strategy that can actually be profitable in the long term, that’s why no winning streak lasts forever. I’ve had strategies that have proven to be successful and profitable, some for much longer time and some for shorter time, but I never make the mistake of thinking that I’ve actually figured out a kind of a loophole to exploit the casino.

[rachael9385]

TBH, for me, odds 1.90 or thereabouts such as in spreads or over/unders, represent biggest trap sometime, though same time it could also call safe zone.

A lot of times we are quick to call certain odds a trap based on the fact that we coincidentally place your bets on such values and end up losing doesn't mean that they always have that outcome. There are also odds that are lower than this and are seen as traps or a safe zone but there are no certainties to any of these.

I don’t try to stick to any specific odds. I avoid bets with low odds because, in my view, I’m taking on more risk than the bookmaker in that case. But I also don’t try to target one particular set of odds and stick to it. Sometimes I might place bets at 1.7, while other times I might go for odds of 4.0 or even higher. It all depends on the day, the matches available, and even the bet size. So I don’t have a one size fits all approach to every bet.

A lot of bettors avoid low odds but I don't really have a particular order that I follow, I bet based on analysis and a lot of times this requires betting on low odds. The problem with a lot of bettors is that they stake on low odds because there's a high chance of winning but this is a wrong approach.

If you want to be productive, like you want to experience more winning than losing, then I would suggest to you that you should focus less on odds, since they are very deceitful. Yesterday game in the uefa champions league, we saw how Sporting CP vs LASK ended. LASK won the game at away by 2-3, and they were the under dogs with 7.10 odds, so using odds as one of the most important thing to look out for is not ideal.

I believe that the best thing to look out for before gambling on games is to look at their head to head record, and their present form, and most importantly try to avoid accumulating a lot of games, at least two or three accumulated games is enough.

I'm happy with how you put this your message, I have never really see any gambling strategy that works more than two days or max of a week before either, that's because this is gambling and no one can see the future.

Every win strategy is like a vulnerability to them, once your are winning they will see it as a fault and before you know whats happening the casinos would have switch the algorithm again.

A strategy don't stay the same for long when it comes to gambling.

For someone who is gambling for fun going with 1.75 odds is the safest, but if the person is gambling to make profits then such person can for the higher odds. But there, the game will be extremely volatile because there is no signs of assurance that you would win, even though it was at the lowest the chances of winning so quickly could be around 4/10.
Again, for long term duration the smaller odds could do more better there for you, but there is no guarantee.

In theory, odds @1.75 are safe odds with favorites that are favored by bookies, the reality is not so, we have to see what the match is like and which team is playing this also determines your chances of being selected.

So for me it is not based on odds, but analysis made, for example in a football match, they can choose a player to score goals whose odds are sometimes above @2.00 sometimes the team's victory is less than @1.50 so this depends on the choice, while for long-term benefits there is no guarantee.

Which betting odds can make you profitable in the long run?

As for me no betting odds can make one profitable in the long run and if I'm to suggest I think 1.20-1.30 odds is more reliable than this odds you mentioned, but still this odds I suggested does not play out most of the time. But for me I will prefer using 1.20 odds in my experiment that's if I want to be profitable in the Long run,  I know we all have our favorite odds and also our favorite options because the options we are betting on will determine if we will be profitable or not.

[adultcrypto]

Is this somekind of a joke? How can odds make you a profitable gambler in the long run? Aren't odds the calculation on how much you can really make from a game?

Gamblers go for high odds because of larger amounts of money but higher odds also most of the times means it will be difficult to play out your way, weak teams have the highest odds because the chances of them winning is very low.

Betting odds won't make you profitable as a gambler on the long run, they don't determine how a game or match will play out,  stay in the prediction lane mate, no one has any power to predict any games.

I don't think you are viewing the post from the right perspective. Gambling is designed around the odds and if you are not careful in selecting the games, you will run into problems even if your win rate is over 80%. For instance, if you are constantly betting on 1.20 odds per bet, your win rate will be very high but you will not believe the level of damage one loss can do to your account balance. I think the post aim to address this problem so that while we aim to bet of good predictions, we should aim for odds that will make us easily profitable.

From my experience, odds do not matter much because you could go on a small odds like the ones you mentioned above and your slip can still cut. The team is what you should look at before you bet and not the odds because I have seen several situations where a team with 17.00 odds beats a team that has 1.02 odd. Don't look at the odd rather make your selection based on the team performance and home advantage. Sometimes a team that has a great performance could lose to a team with a poor performance just that the chances are slim. The essence of what I am saying is that sometimes, don't use odds to select your favourites as they could decieve you but instead make your selection based on the team performance,it increases your chances of winning.

You are right and it's because I'm not familiar with the guy, not a fan of horse racing so I wouldn't recognize him as a popular figure.
The only one I know is Billy Walters, so thanks but I think we can focus on actual betting experiences here so we can stick to the topic.

Could you explain in more detail how this relates to the topic?

Because I'm the one who made the topic?

Does knowing the desired win percentages actually bring you any closer to winning?

Yes, if you can hit the winning percentage. It was already well explain in my previous posts if you can go back.

Several people have already pointed out to you that the issue has nothing to do with the odds, yet you continue to ignore this.

I have to as it's not answering the question. ^{(nex step,delete)}

This one looks good on paper, I've tried this many times and ended up losing, maybe it's just me though.
I feel that chasing those odds is like believing that the Martingale strategy is a guaranteed way to win.

I never bet with those odds. The minimum odds I bet with are 10.00. My max win was with 125.00, and I won with 30.00-60.00 many times. But, of course, if you bet with those odds - you lose most of your bets, so, sometimes my yearly profit can be negative, but not much. It can be minus $60-$80 for the whole year of betting. But other times it's plus $100, which is not much either.(I really do the calculations at the end of each year, during my 12-year-long gambling career.) I can say that for me it's profitable. But it's far from being so profitable that you can live from it.
