In that scenario, sometimes it is not uncommon for a weak team to beat a stronger team, but of course that is just a possibility and quite rare unless they are really lucky, and yes in the end I also quite agree with your opinion that it is safer not to bet at all when your favorite team is faced with a much stronger team, and maybe that is an opportunity for you to just watch the match for entertainment, but on the other hand if you really want to bet then of course there is nothing wrong with putting in some money but betting on the opposing team.
For me personally I think there is no problem for me to choose the opposing team over my favorite team when the opposing team is much stronger when I really want to bet, because after all we bet using money which of course if there is a better choice that has a greater chance of winning then why not choose it? I think there is nothing wrong with that but in the end it depends on you too.
I experienced that scenario in the past because my prediction is wrong. Yes, we need to check how big the chance our favorite team to win and will not place a bet if they against a strong opponent. I agree that if we really want to still place a bet to our team, we should place the money we can afford to lose to any team that have a chance to win.
We should be wise to see the situation and not insist to bet over our favorite team because we will lose in that match. We can place our bet to our team in the next matches especially when our team against a weak team and they have a big chance to win.
It is a wise decision if you choose not to bet when your favorite team is far below the opposing team.
And this is also an evaluation to see how the strategy can be applied and whether there is indeed no chance to win or there will be a luck for the team to be able to win.
As someone who bets, you must be smarter when to make bets and when to just watch to avoid losing bets because the opposing team looks stronger.
But there are some people who also continue to force to bet under their team is quite great and can beat the opposing team whose ability is above the support team.
It's not wrong indeed, but this will only be based on how lucky they are whether they can win or not, and statistically the ability and type of strategy used will also have an effect.
We should decides when we will place a bet because that is our money and we must responsible to ourselves. We can not just place a bet in the match that our team does not have a chance to win. That will be waste for us and it is better to keep that money for the next matches.
We can take a chance to take a rest for a while if our team against a strong opponent so we can prepare for the next match and pick the strong team. We can place a bet for the opponent team if we still want to bet because there is no one can prohibit us from doing that.
What we must concern how the match will be and who will win the match so we can bet for the right team.
