Topic: basketball or football: Which sport is more profitable in relation to sports bet - page 3. (Read 349 times)

One thing i know for sure is that bookers who set up the odds are aware of all this factors and so they will set the odds in a way that you can’t cheat them. Each sport is different from the size of the pitch to the number of players and other rules too so things will definitely be different but the best thing is to bet on games you have knowledge about so you don’t go out chasing odds that will bring about your downfall.

He is right basketball is more profitable than football and it’s easy to score goals and also their odds are usually higher than than that of football but the odds are set based on the probability of it’s occurrence just like football.

If you don’t watch basketball or know it’s rules then you should better stick to betting on football games.

regardless of which betting option is better than the other, it's best you stick to what you're comfortable with.for some of us that came into the betting business knowing only about sports betting and virtual, it's hard to shift attention into trying another betting option most expecially when you're talking about a sports that you're not conversant with how it's being played like the basketball. Don't be surprised that some people that bets on basketball don't know how sports betting works and have never staked a bet on it. Even in sports betting which is very popular and easier to predict, you still have teams you can't be in favour of or against because you aren't conversant with the team. If you're interested in trying some alternative betting options, it's just best to take out tine first of all to start watching the match and studying how betting works for such sports. Your knowledge on sports betting is in most cases restricted only to sports betting and can't really help you as regards others betting options like basketball or boxing.

If we are going to talk about the probability of more wins that you could Experience meaning it could be easily calculated with knowing how much the games are doing per year.

So let’s say it is one year timeframe.
Now we need to decide what association we are going to do whether is going to be with NBA or the college basketball only anything like that. Would it be NFL?

We are going to average that I think the total number of games that could happen ranges from 80 to 120 for NBA. And then for football, I think it’s around 300.

So if we just look at the total games, i think you could be more profitable in the 300 times that you can get compared to 100.

you have to ask yourself why did you start gambling in the first place? i have personally never met anyone who gambles in sports as a source of income unless you facilitate the gambling events yourself but those who only participate in gambling only do that for fun.

if you will gamble then make sure it is with something you find entertainment with lest you want to bet on something you don't even watch and end up betting on the wrong choice

I'm not familiar with basketball; thus, I wouldn't take my word for it, but I just don't see how basketball may be more profitable than football. What's the difference between them that distinguishes basketball as more profitable? I don't quite get what your friend is claiming about the moves being faster due to the court's smaller size in relation to the football field. Moreover, as another user already mentioned, football is a lot more popular, and I'm seeing far more matches than in basketball; more games mean more options, thus greater probabilities of winning. Apart from that, I can't distinguish any other significant differences.

The size of the basketball court is not the criteria to say it turns out faster advantage because of the distance covered compared to football. I don't think so because football field despite being bigger than basketball court has multiple options to explore in a particular game. You can bet on the player to score in the particular match, how many goals that would be scored, kicks or corner kicks, throwing from the match etc. The options in football bet are numerous so it just depends your preference between both games and most likely your colleagues have the preference for basketball not because of the size of the court against football field.


You probably not exploring many other options in the game you bet. Maybe you bet on just 1, 2, x1,x2 options. There are different options you can bet in a game that will increase the odds like 1andgg ov2.5 etc, in a match you have multiple options but the higher risk you take, the more your losing chances increase.


The best way to be successful in what you are doing is to stick to what you know how to do go about it. If you are already use to football betting then it would be easier to navigate around it including how to bet on it and research on the sites etc. However, there is room for learning more sports if you desire to but you have to commit your time to it accordingly.

This, it really up to the gamblers on which particular sports he is comfortable betting because he had followed that sports for many years. And for us basketball and boxing fans, we might have been following it since we are kids and so with grew with them and know almost all the team.

Perhaps there are gamblers who take risk and bet on sports that they didn't know or just copy someone's else bet. But that is a recipe for disaster and not a wise move. So for me, I do like basketball too so this is the sports that I'm leaning in sports betting, and of course boxing.

Am actually a football fan with zero ideas of the basketball in terms of it's rules and regulations but sometimes it is good to try a new thing maybe after now am going to be having a very good look at what the basketball rules and regulations  looks like. However, from my observations I think football betting dominates the basketball betting in terms of populations that are in to the two different gambling cadres , I bet only on football and that is where my affinity is laid on but nevertheless something too it is always more better to stick to what know better while you gradually venture in to the unknown.

I can name only one tiny reason why football can be more profitable than basketball in relating to sports betting - number of games. Everyone knows that football is most popular sport in the world. Every second, a football game, somewhere in the world is running. The probability, that there will be way more opportunities to bet on football than on basketball is obvious. Gambling platforms usually add NBA games, Euroleague, FIBA and a bunch other other leagues. In football there are different division, continents, country and much more games. Just open basketball and football sections on gambling platforms and see yourself. Sometimes there might be, that there are only 2 or 3 basketball games to bet, and 50+ football games. Finding an easy bet among football will much easier.

I don't know for sure about that but I guess that will depends on how experienced you are in that sports. If you don't watch basketball or like basketball, you will difficult to analyze or predicts the team that can wins. If you just make a random team to pick, that will not always gives you the wins.

Maybe what your friend said is true because he have much experience in basketball betting so he can says that is profitable. But for me, if that is just for fun, that will be no problem at all. As long as you can uses the money you can afford to lose and accepts the result, you can place your bet.

If we talks about which is more profitable in sports betting is depends on how you knows the sport because that is the important key for you to analyze the match. Without knowing the sports, you will difficult analyzing each team and will confuse you to pick the team. If you have experience on that sports and really know and like the sports, that will gives a chance to analyze and predict the team that can wins.

AFAIK when it comes to the west there's just a lot more people who bet on football more than basketball so it just makes sense for it to be more profitable, cause there's more money on the pot and more people are chipping in their fair share. However, Basketball games are nothing to be scoffed at either, cause even though for the most part it's only ever bet on in countries where it is big like the US and the Philippines, the amounts of bet that people make per play are usually on the higher end of the spectrum. My uncle alone dishes out more than 3000 bucks worth of Php whenever he makes bets on NBA games, especially if it's already in the finals stage and it's his favorite team that's playing (Golden State Warriors).

I can imagine just more people playing on football, but I don't imagine football fans being that ludicrous with their bets regardless of if they are rich or not. I think most of you football bettors are content with at most, a couple hundred dollars' worth of bet, if not even less, some outliers here and there may go so far as to bet a hundred thousand dollars or so, but all in all, football bettors are a little bit more stingy than their basketball counterparts, which in turn means that for the most part, winners at basketball bets bag more money than those who win at football bets.

I don't agree with your friend on this. By nature, football is the most widely viewed and appreciated sport in the world with more than enough teams and many events to bet for or against in a single match. No one can go wrong with football in this regard and the reason why most people are even betting on it when it comes to the statistics should speak enough volumes in this regard.

Also, no one should choose for another, it is what you have an interest in and adequate information about that you should bet upon. This is how you can manoeuvre your way to knowing the possible things that will happen before the match and what might happen during the match for a better chance of winning since you are deeply rooted in their past and possible present outcomes due to their current feats and other considerations.

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

To me I would say it depends on a person and his or her choice of game. Most people would prefer football bet because they so much love football and have passion for it, while some other will bet on basketball because they love, cherish and understanding basketball more than any other sports. My conclusion is that people would preferably chose to play the game they watch more often than those that they don't watch. It's just a matter of choice because in my country most people prefer playing card games, draft game, lotto, horse, colour and virtual gambling games. So all bets are profitable when you know the type of game are gambling on.

Gone are the days that basket basket ball was the most common sport. The most common sport today is sport. Sport has also be dominating since several years ago. That is why people also gamble on football matches than basketball. For the betting, you know that most people that are betting will lose their money to the betting sites. None of them is profitable. That is why it is better to gamble with the money that you can afford to lose. If you bet and win, you are lucky but the probability of losing is far higher than to win.

Indeed all of gambling games is required luck but i think sport bets a bit different rather than other games because to increases the winning percentages in sport bets then it's required more knowledges and in my opinion the more know you to the particular sports then your chance to win the bet will be bigger and regarding OP question i think the answer will vary because it depend on people knowledges theirself because those who know well basketball then they will answers betting on basketball will be profitable than football but those who a football fanatic then they will says betting on football will be much profitable rather than betting on other sports

And just like myself personally that i have been watching basketball matches several times but honestly if people asking me about big teams in this sports then i cannot answer them because i was lack of knowledges for this sport but since i was football fans and quite often to watching and predict the match from this sport then i would like to says betting on football is more profitable than betting on basketball

The more profitable sport for betting is the one you know best though to be honest, basketball is really not that hard to learn. It has many games, many teams and a lot of players so I reckon that is the reason why some people think basketball is more profitable. Not to mention that I think it is also more popular than football (depending on your country).

If you generally enjoy it, just try to watch a few games because you can immediately pick up some of the rules just from watching a game.

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.

Your knowledge about the particular sport matters.
Whether it's basketball or football, it doesn't matter what sport it be as long as your knowledgeable with the sport, the teams, and the players themselves.

As for me, I'll be saying basketball with this one since I don't know that much about football at all, and even though most of the time I end up losing in my bets, at least my chances of winning would be much higher because I'm well-versed with anything that's related to basketball unlike in football where I don't even know where to start. Anyway, some are knowledgeable in basketball, and some with football. At the end of the day, you will not become profitable with your bets if you aren't lucky enough.

It really depends on what sports you are familiar with, and so both can be profitable for those who love basketball and football fans. So for example, you have a lot of knowledge in basketball and so you are going to bet on almost game and big money and results could be amazing.

Same with guys that is a football fan, there are a lot leagues all over the world and so at any given time they ca bet $1k on a single bet or bet $1.00 and make a parlay of x100 and win.
