That's why sports betting is called a 50/50 chance of winning, because there is no safe strategy in sports betting.
Even having knowledge of the team or players who will play, does not guarantee that our bets are safe. If our luck
is bad, then choosing a strong team can make us suffer losses, because the strong team was defeated by the weak team.
Topic: Are there any truly safe bets in sports betting? - page 11. (Read 1936 times)
If the series is a complete one sided like in NBA where the Raptors-Nets are a one-sided then maybe it can be considered as a safe bet.
No, how can it be safe? We don't even know which team would win, it's just that Raptors won as they are the favorites, and favorites won most of the time.Meaning, they don't win all the time and a possible loss is a definition that safe bet does not exist.
Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?
It only looks like that this is "safer". In reality, odds like 2.5-2.9 are often win, so another side with 1.1-1.2 will lose such games. It's not enough just to look odds and bet to some outcome. You need to know a sport which you're betting on. Because sometimes books calculate odds in a weird way, so strong team will get winning odd like 2.1 and more weak - 1.2 . In that case you will lose your money pretty sure.
Knowledge is the strongest weapon and the safer way to get money in betting. Not odds
I think no bet is safe. Even if you have a lot of knowledge about the teams, the prediction may go wrong because not always the stronger teams wins. Sometimes a weaker player or team do win and an upset may happen.
The betting also depends much on luck than anything else like knowledge etc.
Luck betting only follows your conscience which is sometimes right and you also have to accept defeat if it is wrong and have to be consistent, so it all depends on intelligence and seriousness in doing research in betting and experience.

The very knowledgeable/skilled bettors will likely be consistently successful/profitable bettors than unskilled bettors betting based on luck. This can be tested and proven.
I will likely be consistently profitable bettor betting on olympic sprint races (for example) if I know alot about the sprinters...which includes always gathering enough and updated data/information about them. I believe same is obtainable in football betting.

For me, still I don't see it as a safe bet because an underdog team can win against the favorite team but the chances are low though. One thing more is that, on the side of the gambler they aren't contented with the winnings they have after risking a huge amount. No bets are safe in sports betting because anything can happen.

There's no guarantee that the stronger team will win all the time because sports is really very much unpredictable. Even the weakest teams have won over the strongest due to luck or even by playing good with strategies. I have had an experience by betting on a cricket match where the odds were 1.09 or around it, and I lost that bet and lost $100 in an instant and couldn't believe. It's okay and safe as long as it is not 
it's just like any other gambling!

betting with small odds didn't work well with me.
I usually take small odds to multiply my mix parlay bet.
but, still lost even for a bet with 1.0X of odds.
in your case, 1.15 of odds means that you have to win 7 matches in a row before you can lose again.
I usually found a small odds on a match from "out-of-nowhere" league.
which means that the chance of match-fixing to happen on that match is high.

It is a good strategy but only for the short term. In gambling, no one can really say such thing as an obvious winning especially in sports betting.
Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?
As I have said, it is a good strategy but only for the short term but not considered safe since we cannot always guarantee your winning even if you bet on an obvious winner, there will always be a chance that your bet will lose. I'd rather not go with that strategy.Odds were still odds as they're no really safe or guaranteed in gambling especially in betting. The safer is when we do know the event, the team or the players backgrounds. Odds can help in indicating the potential and can help us in determine in what event we should focus and do study on which to bet since we can still discover more about the game when we do research and identify some winning or losing points of both sides.
Experience also on the sports might help you where to bet because you knew their strategy to win the game and you have your basis which is good and bad players.

No, none at all because betting is a form of gambling risking money to make a desired gain. It is not actually good to rely on strategies and luck when betting. Gambling should only be for fun and excitement and nothing should be put to serious where it can make a negative impact on a gambler. As we observe those who were truly became addicted to gamble are mostly having debts due to their activities. It is not a good thing to pay debt without gaining asset or somerhing.
you are right. For my perception, if you treat gambling just like a game, then it hasn’t any bad side or side effect. But if you take it seriously, and become addicted. It is bad for yourself, your family and your society too. Because the senses of an addicted person do not work properly. He quickly became involved in various crimes. So, just take gambling as a fun or game. Don't be addicted on it. It causes mental stress too.
into more severe problem.Dont let yourself get addicted if you don't like to experience hardship not only on finances but also in other aspects as well.Treat as a fun way of spending your time
and don't make it as a primary thing in life.If you do then consider yourself an addict.
Gambling never has protection. Don't gamble if you think about safety. There is always the risk of gambling and that is the eternal truth. If you are afraid to take risks, do not look back. There are many strategies in betting. My strategy here is to have the highest idea about the team you bet on or the game you bet on. Otherwise you would never have won the bet.
Gambling outcome could really be only just having 2 neither you do lose or do won that's why its really needed for you to know on which one is the best choice and basing of with your experience and knowledge then you can really point out which will be the best pick.
Its suicide that you do just simple bet without any analysis of a certain game.

Those who come to gamble know about the risks. They know they can lose all their money here but they still gamble. Some people gamble for entertainment and some people gamble for big money. Everyone has different thoughts.
In sports betting, of course, it is important to do good research about the team and to know how much the team is capable of. But many times it is seen that the game is lost despite the fact that there is a strong team, so if you want to bet on sports, you have to be ready to see all the conditions.

One close to really safe bet would be in football if you take first team playing against the last team of the season. The Payout will be below 1.1 so not a lot of upside in such a bet. But even in such a bet it's not a 100% safe. Every football player can have a bad day, we are all humans. The top team might not actually lose, but they could still play tide which would lose you the bet. I would recommend to not look for a truly safe bet because it's just not worth it to bet with such a small payout. Better to go for riskier bets with a high payout, even if you lose a few of them you can make a nice profit.
Which way you look at it, no bet is safe and if it is safe, it is not gambling. Gambling is about prediction that you do with the sacrifice of money which might be earned with additional profit Ir total lose of capital. Some lower odds do lose out and I'm sure since op started going for lower odds, he won't boost of not loosing a game with lower odds since after he discovered to bet for lower odd games.

I remember that this is exactly what a tipping service which I was part for a month were doing.They always choose 3-4 events and their total odd was about 1.75-1.9 daily.Although that month I was part of them I won the other month I saw their history which was red.That means safe bets do not exist in sport betting.
Tipping is a different system compared to the betting system they might be doing it for the promo.
That's a huge house edge by that gambling company, It's most likely because teams with huge house edge are better compared to low ones.
