Topic: basketball or football: Which sport is more profitable in relation to sports bet - page 3. (Read 445 times)

I am not really a fan of basketball and cannot really say much about that sport. I  do feel football is more profitable because it has lots of supporters all over the world. I am yet to see or hear about a country where football is not recognised as much as it is recognised in my country.

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  

For me, this is just a person's perspective on gambling. We tend to be more dominant in choosing bets that we like more, whatever the type of sport. there are various supporting factors, the closest example is culture. this is closely related to what we like, especially if we involve betting. Football and basketball are essentially the same types of sports that use the same media. It's just that these two games have different styles and ways of working. uniquely, these two sports are very popular throughout the world. Well, because in Asia, especially in my country, football is more popular, so it could be said that football is more familiar to us, especially when betting is involved. yeah, although not everyone has to like football.
In fact, I like basketball. unfortunately, because I don't have much knowledge, especially about basketball competitions themselves, theoretically I prefer something that I know well, especially since I really understand and like football.

Well, the last point you made. this is interesting, even if you don't know the basic rules of basketball betting. in fact, you can seek knowledge and experience if you are willing to take the time to look for various information that you need, and that is very important before you actually get involved in betting. I don't know much about basketball, especially in this day and age, that's why I'm reluctant to bet on something I don't really know and understand. the point is, if you want something profitable, in this discussion it is sports betting.  At the very least, you must know exactly what you are doing with your bets. Winning and losing in betting is something that cannot be changed, but at least you must have the knowledge to minimize losses. in this way, increase your knowledge about the type of sport you want to involve in betting. after all, for me personally, both basketball and football are just as fun. plus, it's the choices you make in betting that determine the outcome.

Comparing football with basketball is very abstract, in my opinion. After all, in addition to the type of sport, we need to choose a continent and a championship or league. Additionally, and more importantly, we need to select the bet type. Perhaps the outcome of our bet depends on this even more than on the type of sport. We can choose an ordinary or an express bet and our winnings will depend on this more than on the chosen sport. If we choose to bet on the outcome of a single event, then, for example, our choice of total goals scored (total over or total under) or bets on the win or loss of one of the teams will also have a greater impact on our winnings than the chosen sport.
 Football has many differences from basketball that can influence how much we like or dislike it. Betting on football is more common, there are far fewer goals scored in football than in basketball and there is a greater variety of bet types.

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.
