Topic: 1.90 odds in sports gives you 50% chance fo winning. - page 2. (Read 1331 times)

In sports betting the odds are really not a factor because even an odd of 1.01 can end up going sideways. Few months ago I placed a bet of 50 odds with 5 thousand naira, I combined about 20 games to accumulate up to that odds amount , I remember quite well that there was a game I added that was 1.03 odds, the option I picked was over 1.5 goals but that game ended up as 0-0 I was quite disappointed because that was unexpected considering the fact that the odd was very small. Odds are just numbers nothing more

Strong teams is no guarantee for success in gambling, sometimes what we call weak teams comes very prepared for the big teams thereby making it difficult for the strong teams to win, other times the stronger team underestimates the weaker team and underperform in the game leading to ticket loss.

I always love staking when two weaker teams are playing and stake on BTS or when a stronger team is playing from away and is a team that has good scoring abilities. Soccer generally has a 50 - 50 chance of playing out and there should be no need to depend on just odds or stronger team to give us a win

If we do peak literally about winning odds or condition then it would be only 2 possible choice on whose gonna win on which simply having that 50-50 chance on which its understandable but in the real sense i must say that % of winning will really be that still affected on different factors as we do all know if we do tend to dig further or simply in talks about those factors then you could be able to picture out about those chance of winning, but literally talking about choice then it will really be in half in between the odds on winning. Its never been an assurance on winning up even if we do speak about half chances of winning but it wouldnt be wise or ideal on making yourself having this kind of positivity that no matter what the odds is then you will really be assuming about on winning up. 1.90 or even lower then it will really be just that depending on you
whether you do choose or pursue out. For those mentions above on having that odds of 1.5 lower then its not idea. We've seen in the past that there are people who do deal up with 1.01 on which i dont
see the reason on why they would really be choosing up on betting with these odds? Its not really that worth if you do ask me but surprisingly there are really those who do loves to dive in with these odds.

The most problems gamblers face is following the favourite odds of the bookmakers and if it involves the stronger teams they just conclude that it will be the possible outcome. Gambling on a particular odds cannot guarantee winning even when you win from using such strategies in the past, gambling between two teams has a 50:50 chance of which among them will win even though the sides with the least odds are mostly considered the favourite.

Having a long term success rate with this has a little possibility but it's very difficult, I'm on different sites that post daily rollovers of less than 1.50 odds for days and it doesn't always turn out well. The lower the odds the higher the chances of winning but overtime I have figured out the odds doesn't really matter. A played a single game of 13 odds and I had a successful outcome and another time a single of  7 odds which also went well, these odds arrangements are ways the bookmakers confuse or trick the gamblers, sometimes These odds don't matter

Yes, it's true that there are not many opportunities for those who are consistent in betting to win, in fact the more small opportunities that we give to the casino in the near future will result in big losses. Everyone has played well in the short term or long term, there is still a chance for the casino to win our money.
One of the best ways is to play with large capital in the long term and you have to be prepared to lose, dare to take your own way without resetting, other people keep trying and analyzing The good ones who are too hasty in placing bets, let's take it slowly, the important thing is to be sure, losing when betting is normal, you have to keep your spirits up.

that is what I completely believe , luck based games are far different from Sports betting games where we are dealing with our knowledge of the team, game and timing comparing to luck based that we are only having chances away from our capacity to believe .

though I have not dealing with what is OPs asking because I randomly bet in luck games and I have my permanent teams in sports games .

No Iif people could consistently give up odds to the casino and win regularly they would be pit of business quickly.  Not saying that someone can't go on a good run but in the long run the more you bet the more chance you are giving the casino a chance to win.  The best way to bet if you are looking for wins is big bets and not that often.  And definately don't Chace losses.

Totally depends on you when it comes to your preference about on the odds.Of course bookies are running up a business on which its understandable that they would be setting out those deductions
according into their liking. I do even able to test out on betting with 1.5x odds but going lesser is never been that something that i could be able to handle out. 1.90+ is indeed that a good odds
on which you could really be able to have that good profits in 50% chance on winning up but of course just like been said that it will really be that a matter of choice on how you would be able to
accept out those odds. If you do find yourself not that contented or convinced on the potential win then you could always skip out.

On the moment that i do see some other betting lines which i could be able to bet on or having that knowledge at least then this is the time i do consider out on making up some parlays
to make more the winnings to be more that appealing or something which is really that worth.

Actually, these days, in the age of crypto bookies, 1.9 is a fairly good number for a 50/50 bet. At many sites I often see odds as low as 1.75-1.8 for 50/50 bets like this. Most common odds are 1.83 or 1.85 actually. If sites I play at had 1.9 I would be more than happy actually.

The only place you get these odds atm are places like pinnacle or betting exchanges like betfair for example. Bet365 also if you are lucky but anywhere else it's definitely below.
Sure sports books have to make money, no question about that, but a vig of like 15% and more is way too much if you ask me and definitely not good in the long run for every bettor.

This is how sports betting works. Obviously the house has to have an edge. There’s always a built in fee for using a service otherwise how would service providers stay in business. This is what makes gambling a pay for entertainment service. If the casino was operated not for profit, maybe gambling could be considered a job.

This is actually a good idea but a lot of people would disagree with it because they feel like a single game is very risky whereas multiple games are more riskier compared to single games, instead combining more than two games and having one game to ruin your bet slip just carefully analyze and pick out a single game, this actually has more chances of playing out well than multiple selections. But in sports betting everyone has their preference and strategies that works for them, the game also has some percentage of luck involved

I do not believe this. If a club is given 1.9 odd to win, the club it is playing with can be given up to 2.5 or more odds but the club is not also a small club at all. There is a chance that the higher odd club can win, that is around 50% chance. Also the club may draw. That draws the chance to win lower to around 30 to 35%. If the chance for the low odds club to win is more than 35%, it can not be more than 40%.

If you're playing single odds, the probability of winning is slightly higher quite alright, but don't you for once think you're being overly optimistic? Thereby neglecting that the chances of losing big money is enormous compared to the scenario when games are combined. Most times the surest games disappoint, and the kind of funds used to straighten these single games takes away the fun when they are lost.

It's easier to handle with amounts you can afford to loose when you combine few games, the accumulated odds makes more sense and you're more comfortable staking with lower funds since the multipliers have made the potential winnings feasible and you can have your fun without pressure.

I don't think it's accurate.

You can try to calculate with the moneyline odds, there's a match I calculate both of the teams, when I sum both of the winning percentage, it doesn't reach 100% and sometime it bigger than 100%.

It should be odds 1/(odds 1+odds 2) or vice versa.

I think people shouldn't bet based on probability like team one has 52% win chance, another one is 48%, both of them are pretty much same, but their history, popularity and recent performance are different, so bettors can use this analysis to make a bet.

In fact, with odds of 1.9, the probability of winning is not 50% in sports betting, but 52.63%. This is the exact probability of winning with this odds. The probability of winning is calculated using the formula 100/odds. That is, if we divide 100 by 1.9, we get the figure 52.6315…%
At first glance, it may seem that this figure is close to the probability of 50%. But the difference is 2%. This is a fairly large difference in probabilities, which can be summed up in your strategy or subtracted from it in the long term, which can lead to very large wins or losses over the long term.
This difference must be taken into account in any case.

Actually it works but we don't have to trust the odds unless the games has been played according to how you predicted it.
Most times 2 odds plays more than odds below two, although it's just luck that can make the whole things work for the gambler. Sometimes the players in the game made the gamblers to win, because when the players are not performing well and they have lower odds they will probably lose their match and the gambler that bet on the club that the players are playing for will lose his or her bets. This is why gamblers have a 50% chance of winning on sport games than casino games, but the gambler still need luck to win on sport, and luck starts the moment the gambler is predicting the bets.

There has always been a saying and argument about this, not just on 1.9 odds, but odds that are below 2 always have a higher chance of winning compared to when someone goes for higher odds.

It works most times, but not all the time; it's just a probability, which is why I believe the Op gave it a rating of 50/50 chances of winning. There are also times where those 1.9 odds will definitely be against the bettor, and the option with higher odds will play most times.

I am quite sure that your question lacks logic and coherence. When you win 50% of the time while either losing 100% or winning 90%, how the hell would you make it into profits long term? It's simple maths here if you assume that these outcomes are a given at odds 1.9. The point is to find odds that you think are not accurately calculated by the bookmaker (to your advantage of course). When the bookmaker gives you 2.0, which basically means you can double your money, and your assessment is that winning has a chance of >50%, then in the very long term you would be profitable. If, as I said above, the chance for losing 100% is the same as winning 90% of your stakes, it's a path that guarantees you to lose money in the long run.

Winning 10 times at x1.1 is not as easy as many people think. On the contrary, I avoid such odds because I know what it leads to - a mandatory loss if you do it too often. Of course, you can do it without a break, but one day your luck will run out. The bookmaker will never lose, this is the main rule of betting, so I can never be sure that my winning streak will continue. And even if we win and leave, we can come back and leave all the winnings back, because rarely does anyone quit gambling completely.
