Gambling, while largely a game of luck, shouldn't be approached blindly. As a responsible gambler it's essential to conduct a thorough research before placing a bet. Specializing in a specific sport where you have in depth knowledge is also a wise strategy. This approach helps minimize losses, as relying solely on luck can lead to disappointment.

Many gamblers struggle due to their over reliance on luck, neglecting the importance of informed decision-making. By doing your due diligence and making data driven choices, you can reduce your reliance on chance and make more informed wagers.

...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.

In my opinion, it would be a stupid thing to bet on football and not understand anything about this sport. If you bet on a sport that you know something about, it's a kind of risk management that allows you to reduce losses.
People who bet blindly will bet on any sport but it is obviously stupid to bet on an unfamiliar sport, so they seem to increase their own risk but think about knowledge and analysis.

For me, betting on sports that we are familiar with especially in the favorite with having skills then it increases the chances of winning, it's just that people are too ambitious to win more then the bet to parlay try with bigger odds.

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.

I don't know much about basketball games but when I bet on them, it favours me than soccer, I don't even know the option so long the odds are pretty much moderate to pick, it plays out good at last and I can say my luck shines out here.

If you are considering betting on roulette, jackpot, plinko, aviator, e.t.c, these games are actually a game of luck where you do not need knowledge and analysis to scale through but problem with it is that you can keep on loosing until you empty your bankroll.

Majority of our gambling wins are by luck and not skill or being knowledgeable about the sport. Gambling is beyond what you know.
Gambling is beyond what you know, True.

However even the luck that we talk about in gambling is in degrees. If you are betting on sports that you know well, you are likely to be luckier than the person who bets on sports that they don't know about too well. And you are even luckiest than the person you didn't use to bet on sports and wants to just do guessing.  Knowledge and skill where applicable increases your gambling luck.

Being know well for the particular sports will not guarantee you 100% can win the bet but at least it is can increase the winning chances and those who involved on sport betting already know about this that those who football fans will not dare to placing their bets on Volley matches or Basketball matches this because usually those people are blind about other sports than football and only betting to sports they know

Sport betting actually is not hard to learned especially for football this because this sport is the most popular sport in the world and most people always be talking about this for everyday and if want to earn profit from this sport what people generally do is bet on the strong team for every matches

Majority of our gambling wins are by luck and not skill or being knowledgeable about the sport. Imagine, some matches that you think the strongest team would win, but it turns out the opposite. Look at Liverpool vs United match two days ago, and Inter vs Milan finals yesterday. It cut a lot of people slip, because we all know the strongest clubs in these matches and we bet on yhem. Gambling is beyond what you know.

In sports betting there are upsets like team with high odds win the game but it's once in a while. I have interest in cricket and in cricket there are cases where underdog wins the contest and if you have placed bet in that game on team with low odds then it's your bad luck. But I do agree with OP stance that one must jump into sports in which one has interest and he fully understand that game. I don't have much interest in sports like boxing, it's better for me to refrain from batting in that sport.

Obviously, you need to bet on games whose rules you are aware of. If you don’t know how a particular game is played, then how will you know who is winning at that point in time? Or are you someone who just bets according to the odds? This is the worst way to lose money. Now I am someone who doesn’t know how baseball games work; hence, I always avoid baseball games. It’s your hard-earned money, so be careful while placing the bets.

Even if gambling can't be predicted it doesn't give gamblers the access to play games they have no idea or knowledge of. The knowledge and idea we have on a particular game to gamble is what even makes gamble to be a game of fun, I don't know how people will manage to enjoy gambling and have fun when they play a game they have no knowledge about.

 Gambling is more interesting when gamblers choose to play games they know better and this increases the chances of winning.  Playing games that are well known is not a guarantee to win but atleast one already knows what they are doing.

You’re absolutely right that focusing on sports you know well gives you a much better chance of making informed bets. When you understand the rules, strategies, player performance, or team composition, you will be able to make predictions based on real data rather than pure feeling or hunch. Betting purely on luck, especially for sports you know nothing about, is plain stupid and will almost always result in a loss. While no amount of knowledge guarantees consistent wins, it definitely increases your odds and helps you make smarter decisions in the long run.

Well, not totally it will be to our advantage, but taking into account that we are gambling in sports, then I believe it is necessary to know it very well. Otherwise, we are gambling blindly and putting our bets on potential losses. I don't think we want that situation; instead, we look for ways to improve it. That is why we don't just simply gamble and choose our preferred sport but rather know more about the game and the players. 

Gamblers not only know how to bet but also need to know how to analyze the game. If the situation never gives us favor and luck, at least we never regret it because we love the sport we bet on.

Is there any one who gambles on what they don't know at all?
It would be gamblers who only rely on so called professional bettors or signal groups.

I feel like it's really stupid to believe in them, the bettors should understand the sports and the teams because it will help you to use your logic to judge the match instead of completely relying on someone else prediction.

Example someone predict Southampton will beat Liverpool in this season, it's impossible for me.
Relying on other people's forecasts cannot be a long-term perspective for a player, because even if you fantasize that these forecasts give at least a minimal profit, then at one point these signals can stop or require a large fee for this. And even this is not very important for me, so I came to the conclusion that it is best to study independently so as not to depend on anything. Of course, this is a much more difficult path, but in the future we will be able to be grateful to ourselves for this and glad that we did it.

While it's good to bet on the sport game you know more, there is no harm in trying other games. Soccer games might be your regular, but if you have any form of interest in basketball or volleyball, you can go ahead and watch it. You research to just know how the teams performance, which team has stronger capacity, and go on and try. It's only by trying to bet on different game that you get knowledge from it and build experience, and you'll be able to tell, if betting on this other sport game is favorable or if it's more difficult or not.

So I feel we can be flexible with our bets, we can be flexible with gambling, it doesn't have to be only what you know. You might equally be profitable from trying out new game or end up liking it. You might even enjoy watching it more than your current favorite sport game.

I love boxing and its the sports where I like to analyze and explore I love to bet against my friends because we can explore and debate about skills and power of the boxers we are betting on.
Its not only about the money; its more about proving your analysis is better than your friends, and there's satisfaction doing this. I also have passion for posting my analysis here in Bitcointalk.

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.

If someone is gambling only because he wants to make money, then such a person should really only bet on matches that he knows well. But there is a nuance. If such a guy loses a couple of big bets, then he can lose self-control, and the thing is that, according to psychology, he will want to win back this money as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, everyone wants to return to a state of calm and a stable psychological state. And usually this is how people make more mistaken bets. Therefore, I would advise everyone not to try to win back immediately after failures.

Doing things without a concrete plans then it surely leads you to aggressions after losing a couple of huge bets, like you mentioned, if they are aiming to win money and instead of winning they suffer from a unexpected loses, those kinds of emotions will push them to keep on betting wildly, leading them to a more losing streaks that take place.

It's best to have a good strategy and keep it whatever happens just stay and focus with how you think will help you to reach or achive your goals.

Yes, it is better to bet on sports that we know because we know what team that we can choose. That will helps us to reduce the chance to lose our money. But many people still thinks that they can do blind bet in the sports they don't know so they want to risks their money. But sometimes we can bet on sports that we don't know just to see our luck and we are nothing to lose to do that even if we finally lose our money.

But if we have knowledge about the sports, we can pick the right team although that will not guarantee us to win. We should realize that we need luck to win even in the bet that we know that sports.

Or if we want to master another kind of sport for betting, we will have to first bet on something we are not very good at. But in betting you do not need to spread yourself too thin, concentration on a certain kind of sport matters. And losses will happen anyway, it is an integral part of the gambling process, no matter how well you understand this kind of sport, because sometimes sensations happen.

Is there any one who gambles on what they don't know at all? I don't really think so because they wouldn't know how to do that and even if they must gamble it should be that they have someone whom they will confide on to know how those games works and function because most times it's crazy to do what we don't know or have the ideas of how it works.
Yes is important to remain the lane which you always find winning at than doing what you don't know and regret later, even though it is good to try out something different it should be that there is a guider who has knows how such particular game functions and operated, especially when it comes of odds and how they manages their options to pick before staking their bets.

I think this is rhetoric question which has straightforward answer - knowing many details of particular sport give you advantage at the betting. Nevertheless some times I bet on the outcomes of sport evens that are almost unfamiliar to me. At such occasions I used to follow  those prices that were set by bookies.  I have to admit that  after bookies set their prices  their favorites  become the public knowledge of what betting market is going to support.

However, there's one advantage if you bet on an non-familiar sport, you will be force to learn that kind of sport so you won't be at loss anymore the next time you decide to bet on it.
How is this an advantage? Someone could argue that they could just not bet on a non-familiar sport and therefore avoiding that loss.
That's the advantage, you get to learn that sport forcefully because you bet on it without any idea of how it goes. But you're right, if someone doesn't have an idea on how that sport goes, it's best not to lose money and be ignorant of it. Anyway, we're all different and whatever will work for us, we should do it. If we think that it's an advantage to learn something new with these sports that we want to bet then learn it first without having the need to bet on it from the beginning.
