No, as long as there is risk involved and randomness of the result, there is no truly safe bets but only lucky bets. Even with most minimal risk, it cannot be considered safe.

Indeed. there's still risk even the chance of winning was so high there's still things that might affect your bets.
But if you understand the game and the team that you are betting with, the chance of winning is much better.

Sports betting just like any other gambling games, there is always a percentage that you will be busted just like what I have stated, the randomness factor makes our bets even on the most favorable scenario to lose.

Because you are still in gambling business there's no assurance that you'll win from time to time. You have lesser risk if you
really know the game as you can weight in the reason for having such odds.

Not really. I mean, yes, it's good if you just want to keep your winning percentage high, but it isn't even a gamble anymore, not to mention that even you can lose when betting to those with high odds. Not to mention that you'd have low profit if you won, if you lost, you'd have to gamble multiple times to even get back your return. Don't just bet on those with high payouts, sports betting involves research just as well as luck is needed. A bit of knowledge about where the players are, what were they doing before should be enough judgement to push you whether to bet for them or not.

Are these bets as safe as they seem? Would you go for this strategy or not? Why?

On this we can call it a safe bet since if we are knowledgeable on the team stats and roosters for this we will get a high advantage compare to the other bettor that doesn't have any knowledge on what he is doing. And its a risky bet to do a random selection so personal knowledge can really increase our chances to win specially on sports or any skill based games.

There's no way I will do that kind of betting. Not worth a reward.

I'd like to gamble and risk more to high odds compare to this. The reason is, losing in a low odds is more regrettable and hurtful compare to risking high odds.

As a sports bettor for several years, I like to rely on my own knowledge to increase my winning chances, not to place my bet securely and safe.

The lowest odds so far I take is @1.5 and my bet has 90% to win based on my own view. Although, if ever that bet loses, I can't imagine how I will handle that loss.

When I first started sports betting I followed the same strategy, choosing favorite Teams or Players for Betting. I thought it would be safe,
and I continued to increase my betting amount. But there must be a moment when a strong team will lose, this makes me experienced
a big loss. Based on this experience, we must also have the courage to take bets with high payouts. But it's not easy, an analysis of the team
that will play is required. We must have good knowledge in the sports world.

Odds at below 1.3 is not a good pick even chances to win is 90-100%. Just imagined how much you need to put for a good profit in return.
Yes, more chances to win but still losing is possible.
Not worth a risk. I will play at 1.7 above instead of risking money on low odds.

You got a point! Risk:reward ratio too.
We should also consider what we are risking and the reward we get for what we risked.
For me, even how odds is higher or extremely favor on the one you bet, there are still lot of chances that it will loses, in any sports I admit.
That's why there are lot of people who are betting against the high odds with very low amount only but the reward is huge.

There's no such thing about safe bets on gambling world even how good you are on sports betting neither you do have a good strategy but doesnt mean that you would
really able to sustain it for too long but somehow there are people who do make living with it into their corresponding sports that they do mastered or do know much about.
So basing off into your illustration about betting on underdogs then ofcourse you can expect that high percentage on where you would lose but there are underdog bets that
can able to pull it through because we know on a certain game, even strong teams can be beaten out by weak ones on some situation and basing of odds then thats a big hit
but these are likely to happen.

Low odds are not safe can make you lose money that you won in one game so be very careful + If the low odds are safe all the time, we can make many wins and big returns, but sports books are not always like that. They set traps that you can fall into.

All bets are really not safe. But like the OP, I also did that strategy from time to time, when I got tired of losing with higher odds. Because the chance of winning with low odds is higher but still depend on circumstances. Not all the time it will work. As you said, the site itself may be setting some traps and we don't know it.

The Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team have now lost ten fixtures in a row, so it's almost guaranteed betting against them will pay off, so it might be a small return, but it's almost a sure thing.

I usually put my bets into the higher odds, yeah, it all not works well and chances are just 50/50. And I realize that it is never easy to win in gambling and not only the odds we have to take a look but must also look at the team whos playing.

But things are already acceptable, gambling makes me fun (but not addicted) so I'd never had to complain because I lose. It was the thing that we should expect, winning is just a lucky day for us, and unfortunately, it never comes to us always.

Well, I saw that you are lucky enough you have won that huge amount for me. But I think this strategy will not work for the long term, perhaps.
It is like a based on luck game, you perhaps have a low odds that is quite hard to win even two consecutive wins in a row. Perhaps not safe on my side but there's nothing we can do, always ready every detail and avoid those high fees. However, the best strategy is to analyze who will gonna win.

The greater the odds the higher stakes you can win however there is least chance of you winning that odd. Is there any safe bets? YES, when odds are low that means that the game might go fair enough or a close game, either of them can win in that case. But still it depends on the composing team, as we know all players have different moods in the game, even Lebron can just score a single digit in a game with 48 minute appearance. I'd say comfort bet is safer.

Somehow I find it safer than betting on higher odds and expect an upset when it rarely happen. You may win big with 1.40 odd but it also mean that the other team has the chance to win which you will actually lose it all.

I'd find it safer if the sport is basketball since you can definitely see the skills of the top 5 players of both team say Lakers or Clippiers. It wouldn't be safer if both teams almost have same records and both have great players.

There is no safe bets, but there are bets safer bets.
For example if you are betting on winner on game you can have 33.33% for in as it can be home win, draw or away win.
If you play Asian handicap 0 for example you will get back your stake if game end up as draw.
Or if you play double chance 1X you have 50% to win.

Odds with super low odds like 1.1 when there are 3 outcomes for match, are not good as you can lead to serious loss of money.

I have done it several times, and I can say that 1.1x is still an unsafe odds.
I usually pick mix parlay with that kind of odds until I got 2x of odds.
But still, even 1.05x is not a safe odds. It surely depends on the league and team itself.
You cant blindly pick 1.1x odds for a league or team from out of nowhere.

My strategy is to know first the participants of the said sports that I will be betting. From that you can have your assumption what might be the most possible result, but it's not guaranteed since we can't control how they play, we just watch and bet.
Tho, with your odd, that's quite safe I guess since it's low. And ofcourse the reward from your odd is low. Better to bet on those person/team that you think has a better chance of winning.

Not quite sure if it's safe just imagine this thing there's a chance that you might be losing 2x in a row in a long term and you bet 0.0005 for each bet so you lose 0.001 while if you one you only earn 0.0001 profit from 1.2 odds it's risky for me also i don't really think there's a safe bets in sports betting. Once you placed your bet you are already at risk of losing it.
