Sorry man, most days are just like this in the world of sports betting, there are times you want to just do something a bit different from what others are doing, you discover that you end losing money, and at the end, you end up wishing you had followed the crowd.
Losing is part of the game and you shouldn't feel too bad when it happens 
Sure, you can play it safe and follow the crowd, as you said, to make small profits (although not always guaranteed) but "where is the fun in that?"
Nothing matches the feeling when you win a bet that no one expected it to win.
You follow the crowd; it's not your own strategy anymore. It's a simple system you are following, which does not work in the long run. In sports betting, the crowd may refer to public bets, which are wrong most of the time. The simple logic behind this is that most bettors are losing money, and the sportsbooks are very profitable, as are the sharps.
I've learned a lot through experience that carefully evaluating the line is more important than just focusing on the strength of both teams. It's more relevant to see where the money is going. As I've mentioned, public bets are wrong most of the time, so follow the other side.
