The ideal would be for each player to bet on what he has the most affinity for and identifies with the most, i.e I really like football, so the tendency would be to bet on football, however I have heard from my work colleagues that in basketball, like the moves are very fast, the court is small in relation to the field, players can bet on these moves to obtain advantages over bets based on guesses. Do you agree with this friend of mine?

He said that basketball is more profitable than football because of this.

Every now and then I make some football bets, betting on my club that I support for now.

However, I don't watch basketball and I don't know the basic rules of this sport, despite it being fun.

I do not follow basket ball either or have any experience about how it works even in my vicinity I don't think have caome across someone discussing about his but I have this particular who is nto Basket ball betting and has been profiting more than he does in the football betting but saiid that you need to study how it works first to get a better understanding of how you should follow it up and place your bet on the games before you would be able to profit in Basket.

Basically I also never studied or was not interested in basketball when I was at school, but in gambling I also have an interest in betting on basketball matches. Because after several trials regarding single bets and also multi bets or parlay bets, I managed to get a good profit. Of course, with the winnings I got, I also bet quite often on basketball matches and not only football matches, and in fact,several times I looked for basketball broadcast channels that I bet on, and that was very interesting too and no less interesting than football matches. But yes, basically every sport provides good opportunities for bettors, even though we don't have a good knowledge base, but as time goes by we will also understand the game system.

It will be hard to tell on which one is more profitable since in every country they have their own bias and in my country, we are into basketball because it’s easy to play, to understand and easy to build a court which doesn’t require that match and you can easily place a bet because you understand it too. Profitable is very subjective, not unless you all have the accurate data, then that is the only time for us to tell on which one is profitable in sports bet.

Profitable depends on your style of gambling, you can lose in football betting and you can lose in basketball betting as well. The kind of leagues you play in basketball and football also depend on how you win gambling. There are local football matches that are very difficult to predict, like local leagues where you see goals everywhere and Basketball games where you see teams don't do almost nothing, they hardly make 6 points in a single quarter.

My experience with the professional ones like the football, European leagues such as Laliga, Premier League, conference/europa leagues, Champions League and Seria A are one of the best and profitable matches for betting and for Basketball games, just go for NBA, they are very easy to compare to other types such as the likes of NCA, this guys will only waste your time and money and will end up annoying you for playing first half or q1 and q2 without any good points.

You should stay away from any basketball bets at the moment, the biggest reason a sport bettor can earn some profits is because of their knowledge about the game, knowledge you do not currently have, now if you have a genuine interest on basketball, you may try to learn more about it and compare the results you get with your bets to the ones you get with soccer, but if you do not really like basketball at all, then it is better for you to stay away from those bets permanently.

I can't really tell, which is more profitable because I think it depends on which you are most interested in. As a soccer fan, I would be more focused on the match odds, the players and everything relating to soccer that might give me an upper chance of placing good bets. Making bets on basketball without even understanding how their games are played, even though they have a higher and easier chance of winning, I might end up losing. That because I can't really relate to the sport. It might be fun like you friend said and there nothing worn g in giving it a try once or twice though but in placing bets, one has to be careful and make wise bets.

I do not agree to what he said, because just as in basketball, gamblers have moves to bet on to increase their chances of winning, on the other hand, when it comes to football, that's how gamblers also have an amount of corner kicks, handicap, first team to score and guessing which particular player to score a goal to bet on while gambling.

I think this is the third time I'm hearing someone making the same exact statement you just made above, and I have been contemplating about it, but it's just sad I'm not good at basketball, which is why I have remain focused on only football betting, as I think the success of an individual in any of these sport games is dependent on how knowledgeable he/she is about these sports.

In gambling you don't choose game to bet on because it is profitable. Normally gambling is a game for fun, you bet because of the love you have for a particular sport and the knowledge which you have for the sport, all these are what makes gambling to be very more interesting . If football is your favourite game in sport and the only sport game you follow up then this should be the only game that you need to play gambling on, same thing with any other sport game.

It is wrong for one to be thinking of game to play on just to make profit, everyone expects to win in gambling but taking it as something that can generate money for you as income is wrong.

That's right, because with odds/handicap the chances of winning in all sports bets are the same.
Whether it is easy or not to predict the outcome of a match depends on our experience and knowledge of a particular sport, but still that is not a guarantee either that we will often win.
In the end it all depends on our own luck, that's why we call it gambling.

Which is more profitable in sports betting? The ones that you know more because you're going to bet based on your knowledge and not with the pulse of the other bettors.

The more you are familiar with any sport that you're going to bet on, it means that you're doing better there. So, what you're doing with football is right because you know more about it.

I do queue into your idea because personally I wouldn’t have to tag any form of sport in gambling more profitable than the other and just as you said, the more you know about a particular sport gives you greater edge to winning and staying more profitable rather than jumping on threads because you heard others are making profits from it.

Just as you’re talking about basketball and football and trying to compare them, which I think isn’t of no use, I’ve also been watching this aviator games on Bc.games and frankly I’m tempted to say that, I understand that people are making some good profits from other firm of sports betting but I think people are doing wonders in the aviator crash games but that doesn’t mean you should go compare them to other sporting games.

In conclusion, find a field you’re good at and stick to it Except you want to try something new
Goodluck

I agree, find what suits your skills. Whether you're in sports betting or that aviator games that you have mentioned. That's fine. We're all gamblers and we're trying to find those games that we truly like and not just that, but also profitable.

But that doesn't also stop us from exploring other things. There's some limitations of doing it of course based on what's inside your pocket. So, if you don't have much to explore then you better stick to where you're good at.

Basketball, football, boxing, etc.

I don't think this is true. If it was correct many gamblers would have identified this fact and focused on Basketball bets. Immediately gamblers know that basketball is more profitable they will abandon other sports and focus on basketball.

He said that basketball is more profitable than football because of this.

I bet with basketball and tennis less often and I have not lost any bet there before. If I can remember, I have not bet with both more than 5 times before. But if I start to gamble with it like football, I believe everything will change and I will begin to lose just like football. Your experience, how less frequent you gamble and your analyses is what that matters because you can bet with some football matches and win or lose and that can happen with basketball also.

I believe it will be better to gamble on sports one has interest in. There is no way one can be a good gambler on a particular sport if he doesn't know the rudiments of the game. I have never gambled on basketball because I don't know the rules of the game. Football is my favorite game and I am a consistent bettor in that sport. It is also necessary to state that since gambling is not just for money, for one to be able to enjoy betting there should be interest. Without the love for the game, I don't think it will be able to entertain the bettor. However, if I decide to grow my interest in basketball, I might try it to ascertain if what OP is saying is true.

I liked basketball 🏀 games/sports before but now it is football ⚽ sports is my favorite. But the world of sports, we can't compare football to another sports. Though there are many sports in the world. I was liking to watch sand football {Beach Soccer}. But it is not popular like football. And normally people like watch and bet on other sports but all I have seen, people make more profit in football betting than other sports. But everyone has their favorite but football ha more fans. I have only bet on basketball once and not bet on another sports except football in frequently/or in many times.

basketball or football: Which sport is more profitable in relation to sports bet

You definitely understand that both are gambling/sports betting, both are profitable, if you win, the problem lies in your love of the sport and your understanding of the sport.

In general, as far as I know and usually from my experience, generally what I see are those who gamble on both types of sports, they understand and understand both.
The only difference is the final score/points in the game, where basketball consists of 5 people per team and winning basketball is determined by having the most points like volleyball points, so you have to look at the strongest team/squad during the career/history of the basketball game, football consists of 11 people in one team, they are not the same as basketball points, youdefinitely know that.

Speaking of benefits, for me both are beneficial, provided you understand and understand both sports.

I think the answer is simple, the most profitable depends on the bettor itself, I mean for me example I only bet on basketball, NBA leagie to be specific, and I dont really bet on football because I'm not familiar with the sports so I will not bet on it also, so in short it depends on the bettor on where he thinks its best to bet if he/she want to gave more profit, and also to add, the profit or who is more profitable will not be determined in which sports you will bet on, your profit will depends on how good you are at guessing or how good you are to choose which team or player will be the winner in a specific sports game. So bet on a sports you are familiar with, like me I like playing basketball with my friends and also watching NBA league so I have a broad knowledge about the teams and its players that could help me to choose on which side will I bet on.

I havenot bet on basketball but from what you said that there are a lot of moves in the game in which one can bet on rather than betting for the final result of the match. That alone makes the chance of a bettor in basketball high than football but don't forget that there is also a high chance of losing your bet.

I see all type of sportbet and casino games as 50-50 chance of winning. The only game that can be profitable to a gamble is the game that he understands well. One thing in gambling is that if you bet on a game that you don't know just for fun, you will be surprised that you will win your bet.

Profitable for the sportsbook, I guess it's football as it has the biggest market worldwide.

However, on the bettors' side, it depends on the game we are playing and enjoy. I think it's hard to say which game is more profitable for us because being profitable is not achievable for most sports bettors. For me, the majority of my bets go to basketball, and personally, I cannot say I'm profitable as I most often end up on the losing side.

when I started making sports bets, I started with football, I lost a lot but I was lucky to win and I gave up for a while, when I started making sports bets again I started betting on football games, you had some good results and then some bad results, It's funny and that I bet on the premier league games, La Liga, Bundesliga, Portuguese League, Turkish League, Dutch League, French League. But when these leagues arrive in May, they go on vacation until August. So I didn't bet on football, so I thought about starting to bet on basketball games, honestly it was a big disaster

I constantly lost bets, although I sometimes managed to get it right in some games, I decided to stop betting on basketball, tennis and UFC and I've just been following along, because I saw that even though I made sports bets for fun, constantly losing was hard for me, And something I noticed is that getting information when I wanted to place bets on football games was easier compared to getting information when I wanted to bet on basketball. In my opinion, a person should bet on sports that make it easier for them to obtain information

It's not about the sports, but it's about to find the EV+ bets.

Even you're familiar with both basketball and football, if you can't find EV+ bets, then you're taking the same risk and neither of both is more profitable.

For casinos, they'll definitely pay more attention to that sport that has more followers and supporters. That sport will definitely be football because they will definitely be making some money from majority bets on football. As for me as a sport bettor, I wouldn't risk it betting on a sport I have no knowledge about. Though everything is all about luck, I still need a good knowledge of the sport to make good strategies so as to increase my chances of winning

One time I had this move to bet on Basketball, which I know nothing about not even how the points are counted and I decided to select multiple picks, all I knew was the odds available were very big compared to football odds so I happily picked a few out, it was quite a big loss because the game ended in all loss not even one of my single pick played correctly. I would buy the idea of betting on games or sports we understand, knows the both player or teams competing and with the level of potential ascertained between both opponents before we place our bet to avoid certain loses.
