This is a good thing to do when you're trying to bet on a sport you really like and I agree with this because after all, we bet not randomly but sometimes have more understanding so that we know how the game works and we don't mess around with the odds.
That's not to say we shouldn't do random bets because it comes back to the choice you have and it's up to you in the end but as a bettor it's certainly not recommended but if you really want to force the will then it comes back to yourself in the end.
But it will indeed be more worth it to bet where we know what is done because in the end gambling randomly is the same as we play on slots that only make instinct and luck more than everything whereas for sports betting it is actually still very much possible to do with analysis so that the probability of winning becomes greater.
Topic: Bet only on sports you know too well. - page 2. (Read 858 times)
I prefer to play sports betting because I'm familiar with football more than any other type of gambling.over the years I've come to figure out that knowing a particular sports can give you a little advantage or leverage over the sportsbook, although this does doesn't guarantee hundred percent win but it would definitely reduce the losses you incur. It's better to familiarize yourself with an aspect of betting than just trying to stick to instincts only, this is almost the same thing as relying on luck, working on mitigating your losses by focusing on the skill based aspect of betting.
It is very difficult for a person to lose at the game he knows best. Because everything that happens around that game is on his fingernails. So everyone knows that he will invest in what he knows best. His chances of losing from there are very slim. Since gambling sites are a very profitable game as well as a very destructive game. So I would say that when a person invests in gambling casino sites, he should think at least 100 times before investing. Because every money is very valuable for life. Playing games is a curse for life.
Any sport you know very well, you can gamble on those sport and avoid gambling on sports you know nothing about, one of the reasons why some set of people lose money a lot when it comes to gambling is because they gamble on sports they know nothing about with the slogan " gambling is all about luck" yes gambling involves luck but that those not mean skill and knowledge is not involve
How are people always comfortable placing bets on sports which they have little or no knowledge? That’s really bad, I do place bets on only sports that I have proper knowledge about, since the only sport that I am interested in is football, so I do place bets on only football. I don’t even try to bet on other sports, because I know I will be losing most of my money, and I do gamble for fun, so immediately I start placing bets on sports that I have no knowledge about, and I don’t think I will be having any fun. People gambling on sports that they have no knowledge about are just gambling for the sake of money, and they are hoping to be lucky.Choosing another sports to bet on can be a good decision if you are well informed. I think betting on sports is a part of entertainment and along with that, it is a mental peace to win the bet. Most sports bets are a combination of luck and team strength to win. I also think that gamblers who participate in sports betting mostly prioritize entertainment and winning through it is an added bonus for them.

Sports betting is a game of knowledge and luck, and the row that knowledge plays is that it greatly increases our chances of winning our bets, while luck on the other hand plays a roll of making us winners indeed.
You don’t have to mix luck and skills, maybe just focus on what you can control, because luck is unpredictable.Keep a record of your performance if you want to go "PRO". This will help you see if you’re profitable in the long term. In sports betting, a 53% win rate is already enough to be considered successful. At that point, it’s not about being lucky anymore but it’s about having the skills to hit that passing grade.
Luck only plays a role in the short term. For a long-term approach, you need to be realistic and base your strategy on consistent effort and analysis.

Some people love and knows everything about soccer why some people love and knows everything about basketball, so also table tennis, volleyball, baseball, horse racing, handball, snooker, boxing, cricket, golf etc. Any sport you know very well, you can gamble on those sport and avoid gambling on sports you know nothing about, one of the reasons why some set of people lose money a lot when it comes to gambling is because they gamble on sports they know nothing about with the slogan " gambling is all about luck" yes gambling involves luck but that those not mean skill and knowledge is not involve, if you gamble on sports you know nothing about then you are gambling blinding and your chance of winning are very small compared to when you know everything about that particular sport, when you know a lot about a particular sport prediction will be easy for you.
Is true that knowing everything about a particular sport those not grantee you winning always but is an added advantage when you are gambling because it brings you more wins.
Very well said bud, I totally agree with you on this, and I particularly love the fact that you touched all the areas.Is true that knowing everything about a particular sport those not grantee you winning always but is an added advantage when you are gambling because it brings you more wins.
Indeed, knowledge is never a waste, and our knowledge in something is always an advantage we have when it comes to doing that thing, like we normally say that any one who does not know how to trade, but decide to trade is only gambling, and that his or her chances of winning trades will be very slim and totally based on chance.
Sports betting is a game of knowledge and luck, and the row that knowledge plays is that it greatly increases our chances of winning our bets, while luck on the other hand plays a roll of making us winners indeed.
It's just as you have said it, betting on sports we are very familair with helps us not to bet blindly, and also makes our predictions easier since it becomes more easier for us to tell who will likely win in a match, there is never a guarantee, but knowing what one is doing is much better than not knowing at all.
For people that are betting on sports games, I think they have a favorite sport that they bet on, which is usually the ones they have more knowledge about all the events and fixtures. In sports betting, even if you are betting on your favorite games, losses are inevitable but I believe it's preferable to bet on the sports games that you regularly pay attention to their activities because it can make you make more informed predictions.
Like football fixtures, we already know this schedule and will definitely bet on some matches.Because by knowing the sports favorites it will increase the chances of winning, even if we lose when choosing the favorite team it does not make us retreat and continue to bet.
Leagues that are often bet on - Serie A - Premier League - LaLiga - Bundesliga.

I agree that betting on sports I know well enhances my chances of success. It's like when you repeat the same move again and again...one day, you'll master it. Skills come through practice. For me, I prefer soccer (and MMA), and understanding the rules and dynamics of my favorite sports allows me to make more informed predictions. So, I'm not just betting blindly or relying solely on my instincts. However, if you're not lucky, you won’t win, even with 100 years of experience. Who knew Liverpool would lose to Tottenham
lol? Surprises happen, and sometimes skills can't do anything against that. hero member

Maybe if I had knowledge about the sport and the players involved I could have a better understanding on why the outcomes had gone in the exact opposite way I was hoping for. More yet, if I had that knowledge, it's possible I didn't even place a bet on those matches due to the risks implied not worthing the potential rewards to be achieved.
We can't make an excuse for being unlucky because sports betting is quite different compared to pure-luck games where we can improve it.
It's true gamblers should place bets only on sports they know. There was a time I started placing bets on sports I had no clue about, like tennis. I just placed a bet on the favorite athlete and waited excited for a sure win. However, the winnings didn't come, so it happened in the exactly opposite way I expected. I felt confused back then, because it was the favorite player with a very high advantage compared to the rival one.

If there are people who can make a profit from gambling, then they understand what most players do not see. Maybe it is knowledge or a more detailed analysis of matches, but they do what other players cannot understand. It is clear that they only bet on what they are good at, and it does not bother them that luck also matters in betting, because such people know how to make a profit over many years. And also, such players never play slots, because they consider it simply a drain on the bankroll.Maybe if I had knowledge about the sport and the players involved I could have a better understanding on why the outcomes had gone in the exact opposite way I was hoping for.

It's a point to bet on a sport we read or have stories about, to enable easy information access partaining the sport competition. With no prior details, a gambler may not realize whose skill is currently the best in the tournament. Regardless of luck, more grievous mistakes could occur, in fixtures between a strong and a weak team or side. Lack of intuition in the league or sport will enhance wrong decisions or predictions such that the gambler when losing, losses in a painful form.

Knowing a sport doesn't guarantee any success, of course you can know it very well but could still make a mistake, but that's not the point. I mean for example I have been watching football for over 25 years now, that doesn't mean that every football bet I make ends up being a success, of course I lose, hell this is gambling I lose more than I win in most cases.
Every bet can't be successful but knowing a sport helps you a lot. I was actively betting on sports events and I was winning very well. When I was betting, I was watching every football match and before placing a bet, I was checking a very detailed statistics of each team, including their past matches, how their players performed recently, who needed win the most, who was ready to don't push hard in the game because they had a serious upcoming match and etc.I had a neighbour who was feeding his family with a sportsbook since the 90s. He had watched every game since his childhood, he was very professional in sportsbooks. He had some losses but overall, he was always in profit, at some point, I was copying his bets till he died.
how many risky bets or bets with 2+ odds you have placed and won? I think that people done prefer high risk bets.
I'll also answer this since I've been in the sportsbook for a long time. I have made lots of risky bets but I was very lucky and won lots of risky tickets. Once I won a ticket where the odds were up to 1500. Yes, with a single dollar, I won 1500 dollar. Btw there were many active bettors around me, we were sharing information with each other and your opinion is true, people prefer high-risk bets because of the potential high reward.

Is true that knowing everything about a particular sport those not grantee you winning always but is an added advantage when you are gambling because it brings you more wins.
You might actually know so much about a sports but somehow become more successful betting in another sports. This is possible because there are various websites you can use where free tips are dropped daily from where you can select. Tips are dropped in virtually all sports so you might want to test each of the sports to know the one that is easiest for you to win. That I bet on basketball or volleyball does not mean I understand everything about the sports, I might just identify a team that is strong and winning regularly and then place bet on them when they face a weaker opponent. Winning sports bet is really not a function of how much you know about the sports, there are many factors that influence that. Is true that knowing everything about a particular sport those not grantee you winning always but is an added advantage when you are gambling because it brings you more wins.

However, the point is that, for example I have no clue about curling at all right? That means, if I bet on football and curling, my results on football should be better overall, maybe there could be a few times that I get lucky and all that, but in most cases if you end up betting on both, for a whole year, after a full year is done, then we will end up with football being more profitable or at least lost less. This is why we need to be careful about what we are dealing with. I think the best case here is just to realize that the result doesn't have to be great, it just has to be better.

From your 25 year experience, how many risky bets or bets with 2+ odds you have placed and won? I think that people done prefer high risk bets. That is why even not knowing much about the sport, the odds tell us who is most likely to win and who is not. I need need to have an expert or be good at sport, when I see 1.2 odd in already started game. With high risk odds it is different, but with low risk odds, only random risk factor can cause you lose.

If you like to have fun and believe in your ability to win then go for sports that you are too familiar as that could give you satisfaction on what you do.
Ask yourself first, what is your goal? If the goal is to enjoy and win there’s no point betting on a game you don’t understand as it’ll just lead to losing in the end. Maybe it’s fine if you’re the type who loves to experiment and doesn’t mind wasting money. But if you’re just a regular guy, you wouldn’t do that.

It leads you to bigger risk if you play game that you are unfamiliar and you are leaning with luck, though it's always luck that gave you the win but you'll be able to have a better chance if you bet with sports that you have a full understanding as you can select which team have a upper hands against his opponents, or you can choose different types of available odds if you don't like the ML, there's always a good option or better option from each sports games that you choose to bet with.
Same with your principle, it's more enjoyable if you pick the right selection and manage to win your bet as you have that good knowledge about the game and those available odds that they offer.
Some players can catch several losses even having bet on a sport they are good at and this can knock them out of emotional stability. After that, they can go lose money by betting on other sports, regardless of the amounts, just to win back, this is terrible, unfortunately this happened to me too when I was on tilt.
Betting on a team you know can give you good chances and opportunities because you already have good information about the team and doing research would not bother you that much but being a little updated helps your current knowledge about the team. It is nice we make money from our bettings but I think it should not be our major focus so that we do not make it a priority to always make a profit from gambling because most times it is not always as we think because we just might win and we might loss and if we loss any money with our perspective of gambling for profit, we would want to recover our loss and in so doing we keep chasing to recover our losses by losing more and this eventually turns one to an addict if care is not taken.
Having knowledge reduces the risk of reckless bets, but no one can fully control the outcome of a game. Betting should be done with an understanding of the risks and an awareness of personal limits.
