Betting on A Strong Team Can Be Very Risky

I'm also of the opinion that betting on the favorite is not always strategic but one thing you need to understand is that if you always place your bets on the weaker side to win then you are actually relying on luck because there's a high chance that those teams would end up losing and betting on them is very risky. The strong teams can be very risky as well and many consider betting on them as a trap but this has a high chance of playing out compared to betting on the underdogs consistently.

At same time, if you keep placing bets on the strongest team, you will make only minor profit, like 0.10x per bet, meaning you have to win 10 times in order to double your base bet. And in 10 matches, it's quite likely that team won't win all of them, possibly losing or drawing one or more matches. If something like that happens, you will be already at loss. So even though risks are lower, it doesn't worth on long run.

Even if the odds are lower, that doesn't mean you can just casually ignore the risks of that bet. There are many factors to consider, and lower odds don't necessarily mean the outcome is certain; there's still a chance you could lose that bet.
So, before placing a bet, it's always a good idea to make sure you're not risking more than you're willing to lose, and always keep in mind that your chances of losing are higher, so it won't let your confidence get ahead of your judgment.

Have you ever bet on a team which was very weak and you have won 10 times more than expected in any kind of sports?

That was a normal scenario in the sports. The underdogs have the chance to beat the favorites and no matter how stable the favorites are, there are some instances that could change the results.

The twists are there and no one will see it coming. And so, sometimes I bet for the underdogs for as long as I have an idea how good they are.

But if it's just randomly betting on the underdogs to have fun, I also do it but not with bigger amounts.

I agreed with your opinions..
Stronger team often have the smaller odds because the bookmakers itself believed that there is always winning in them so lot of people would be wanting to bet on them whereby they could reduce the odds allocations to be able to suite what they could be paying out should there is a much higher winning, that would run them down or lacking funds to pay. That is why, those games they knew that winning would be hard you see them allocates higher odds so that those who doesn't know about odds could likely choose them and then loose their bets.

Coupled with the fact that there are times where the underdog teams are mostly on fire, and the big teams tend to lose more times than they usually win, for someone using this sort of strategy, it could mean serious trouble for them fr. I used to feel like this strategy was just another sure banker, and though the odds were quite small, I felt they were worth risking and I risked them, but I learned the hard way.
