Topic: Betting on underdog by choosing a favorite spread to increase the odds. (Read 339 times)

Not only betting on the underdog but in each case its strategy and odds must be analyzed well before betting. Otherwise there is a possibility of high risk because not all casinos throw the underdog game the same way. For us players, knowing the odds is an extra tool in our arsenal. This helps you understand whether the bookmaker's odds match your expectations of what will happen. If you think an event is more likely than it is, it can be a betting signal. At the end of the day successful sports betting requires a good understanding of the odds. Also before a person places a bet it is important to know what the betting odds are and how they work.

That's why we shouldn't be too confident in the results of our analysis and our predictions because the situation in the match can change at any time without us knowing. The favorite team may be defeated by a team that is not favored and it does not guarantee that the favorite team will always beat the other teams. It depends on how the coach can use the right strategy to face his opponents. The coach will adjust his strategy in each match so that the names of the players competing will also change. That makes matches often run unexpectedly and produce different results than we predicted. I also experience what you experience because I feel confident in my analysis. Hence, I immediately placed a bet, but the situation and conditions on the field were very different from my predictions. The opposing team was able to put pressure on my chosen team and even managed to win the match so I had to experience defeat too. That is why we must be able to search for and get more information from trusted sources to add information when analyzing the match. We can only hope that our analysis can provide victory but we must not hope too much.

Each gambler has different ways of analyzing, so they will also have different analysis results. We should not be too ambitious to win every bet we place because it will not always give us a win. The important thing is that we can place bets with the money we can afford so that we won't lose a lot of money if we lose. We also need to improve our analytical skills to use them to find teams that have a chance of winning the match so that our chances of winning will be greater. We also have to be prepared for changes that can occur in each match, so that's why we can adjust the bet amount so we don't lose too much.

If we can't predict, we can look for sources to learn to analyze and it's okay if our predictions are still wrong because that is a process we go through. By continuing to learn to analyze, we can improve our analytical skills to analyze better.

If it is by team win, I still won't do it, also I don't prefer spreads in sportsbetting. I would rather skip the match and wait for a better vision perhaps better match up I would be comfortable betting my money with. I would more do a bet build if there is an option to sports provider (not all websites have this feature). I don't have that much of a support to my claim but it is just that I am always considering the enjoyment over profit. I don't also chase bet count and more of quality bets than betting every game I would be seeing.
I only bet on mu favorite underdogs with odds above 2 'coz it would be worthy of taking the risk but that depends on the players line up; which is why I do follow team managements which works well for me so far. However most of the time I am engaging with lower odds because it promotes higher chances of winning as expected by the majority. I just increase my bet but still under my tolerance to make sure everything's fine and that I will be able to enjoy the outcome no matter what.

You should be aware of the betting odds first before you do a live betting, because if not, it's just like you are gambling hoping you'll get lucky. It's different when you study the game, analyze it as a win prove to be your success and you will feel confident with your picks. Choose quality over quantity, that's the secret, when we are selective with our bet, that is a sign of maturity in sports betting, I know newbies would eventually learn in the long run how to be matured.

I often do this by betting while the game is in progress or playing bets for the second half. At least I know how the players from both clubs are performing and also their style of play so I can read and predict the score of the match in the end result, even though the odds are low, which is different when we bet. before the game starts, that's why people prefer to bet before the game starts compared to while the game is in progress.

As much as possible, my advice is that if you don't have more experience and knowledge about which team is the favorite and which is not the favorite, you should not try to bet while the game is in progress, sometimes there are unexpected surprises at the end of the match which makes us ultimately disappointed with the results. I'm used to playing before. the match starts also when the match is in progress so everything is safe. but beginners should not try it 

So that the main point in betting, there is no certainty that the top team will always win and the top team could lose tragically if there is luck and surprises that can be given by the underdog team itself.
Several times I made the mistake of having a fairly convincing prediction by choosing the favorite as the favorite in betting. This prediction was made with full consideration and of course there was an analysis that I carried out.
But everything is in vain when the underdog or bottom team can take advantage of the situation very well and succeed in creating opportunities for victory, bets like this are of course also experienced by other gamblers.
In sports, many unexpected things can happen suddenly and of course conditions like this make it difficult for gamblers. I usually watch the progress of the match and if the conditions or circumstances make it impossible to continue betting then cashout is the right step.

We understand these differences and of course we can conclude that what is considered right may not necessarily be considered good by other gamblers.
Having these different methods can also make us believe in each other abilities with full ambition for success, but for sports betting it will be very difficult to guess accurately.
Just imagine that in the first half there was team that was more dominant and superior, but surprisingly in the second half the opposing team turned things around with much better control of the game so that the advantage belonged to the opposing team.

If you really can't have prediction that you can really believe in or when betting you have doubts then my advice is to bet when you have entered the second half and this will make it easier to study the game to be able to make better predictions.
But by using method like this, don't ever hope to have high odd because significant changes will definitely occur.

Let me ask you a question. Are you taking underdogs to win the strong teams and you make money while gambling this than losing?

There are three possibilities. The first is that the strong team might win, the second is that the underdog might draw and the third is that the underdog might win. What if you chose the underdog to win and the match is drawn? That is still also a loss.

I know that sometimes it can be good to choose an underdog but these are just few occasions when a strong team is not playing very well. An instance is when the last 3 to 5 matches that are played are drawn and most lost by the good team. But I know how gamblers think, they will be looking for such opportunity to win high odd matches, but several try might still be of losses if no winning, if you chose underdog.

As for me, I prefer tomost of the time choose strong team. But to draw is still another disadvantage even if the match is not lost by the strong team.

The superior and the favorite team is indeed the team that has a greater chance of winning than the opposing team. But we must remember that when the match has started, there will be moments when surprises will come and encourage the opposing team to play with the best performance. In fact, by being the underdog, a team can play without burden and pressure because the underdog team is underestimating their team. This allows the team to play relaxedly and can reveal hidden performances that can surprise the favored team. This has happened in many matches where the unseeded team can compete with the favored team and can even win against that team because they can turn around and put pressure on the favored team.

Yes, every gambler has his or her way of predicting a match. Every gambler has that differently because we are talking about a person's ability to collect and analyze other data that other gamblers may not have. This allows them to find more important information that will support their analysis so that they can see the possibility of winning against the underdog team. This is what gamblers often forget when analyzing a match because many of them only see that the favored team has a greater chance of winning than the opponent, which is true. But other factors must also be considered when analyzing a match, which should be remembered by gamblers who want to analyze a match.

We might have a different analysis on betting an underdog team but for sure we are confident they will win. At least with the underdog winning and we are getting good odds, that's an extra winning compared to taking the odds that are 1.90 and below. Other might see it as a bad strategy, but it's not consistently picking the underdog, just choose the quality underdogs as that's the key on winning.

I definitely prefer the superior team. In basketball or football I will still choose the superior team over the underdog. I look more at the history and strength of the players, the club's reputation, this of course has shaped the club's playing mentality, no matter how good the underdog team is, if the mentality is still weak it will have an impact on the game. Even though the odds given are small, it is better for me not to risk my bet.

Team that is clearly superior and the favorite is the one that has greater chance of winning the match.
Of course, if we are just talking about odds, the favorites and favorites are the main choices, but here in sports betting, not all the favorites can win and there are many cases where the underdog team becomes the winner and beats the favorite or seeded team.
But betting is not just about the underdog and the top team, but you have to consider all aspects, such as which players are among the main players who will compete and how each of them has developed in the last few matches.
Analyzing each team is very important and cannot be ignored if we want to bet and have predictions that can really be relied on.

I believe that every gambler has their own way of making predictions to bet on and I know every gambler will have confidence in determining which match between the team they will bet on.
When betting involves certain amount of money that may be very valuable, of course we can accept when we lose and use the money to the extent of our ability, but that doesn't mean we don't try to win because winning is the greatest satisfaction when betting.

As much as this is the most obvious thing that you should do and the common knowledge when betting, the problem is that the betting sites know this and that this is a common knowledge, of course they're make sure that the odds of the potential winner gets the lowest as possible so they can make sure that they can get the most profit because players will gravitate to betting on the underdog team with the higher odds. That's always going to be the name of the game when it comes to betting so even if you don't want to, you'd still be betting on the potential winner even if the odds are so low but when it comes to the odds of the potential being too low that even if you win, you're still going to lose, that's going to be a different story for me.

We will choose it as a bet if we are sure that the underdog team will win. But if not, we wouldn't choose it. We have to see which team is stronger and has a chance of winning so we can choose it. It's not because the team is the underdog or the top team. If each team brings out their best, they will fight hard and prove that their team is also worthy of winning. And it is up to us to find which team has the bigger win so that we can choose it for the bet. And each one has its risks, so we have to pay attention to the amount of money we will use to bet. No matter which team you choose, you should be able to bet with the money you can afford.

Of course, every bettor would like the high odds, and personally, I love to support the underdogs even outside betting, however, the underdog must be worth it. But I do not let that cover my reasonable judgments for my money in betting.

All that matters is for me to make money and I can only bet on underdogs if I know that they have a good chance of winning. Gambling shouldn't be about sentiment, it has to be about what you believe would be the true outcome and nothing else. You might want to support the underdog even while watching the game but still bet against them, that is wisdom (if you can cope), you can fake it.

But me betting on an underdog solely because I either want such to win (sentiment) or was attracted to the big odds is not sensible. I would rather go for the outcome of my unbiased analysis and nothing can change that.

I think many are like that because the main reason on why they choose sports betting over casino games is to increase their chances of winning. When we know the teams that are playing, we already know their capacity, so we go for them than on the unknown teams. It is also a way of showing a support to them.

So even if we lose, we still feel fine. If they are the underdog, this also means that their odds are high and we can earn a much higher profit in case we win. There are odds which determines the probability of the game. Usually, the underdog has a low chance of winning compared to the crowds favourites. This is their only downside here.

Talking for myself, I don't really bet on sports based on the odds alone, I also see it myself as a fanatic about that particular team or franchise then I will be willing to take a little risk with my money even if it is an underdog.

But generally, it is one of the calculated risks taken by sports bettors and I don't think it doesn't pay off well because we never know the probability of an underdog beating the favorites but it does happen in the sports and that day is unpredictable and that is why the gambling always thrills the users.

Actually this is a good idea given that you will already choose underdog bets since basketball matches that underdog win usually have over 2.5 spread on points to make an upset match. An underdog vs favorite matches with that odds usually result to huge spread so taking the 2.5 odds over 2.23 with just additional 1.5 points difference is already worth it risk for boost odds.

I didn’t consider this kind of bets before but reading this makes me wanna try it on my next bet that involves underdog ML.

I've done those kinds of bets a few times before, but I don't place them regularly because i've seen so many underdogs throw big leads where they could even fail to cover the initial handicap. The lowest i'd mostly take on the underdog would be the ML, and i'd rather avoid the stress of losing a handicap bet because they failed to cover the spread by a point or more. It would be impressive if you could pull off the strategy until the end of the season when it's not easy to spot underdogs that can win outright and cover the handicap with ease.

It takes courage and precise calculations to be able to bet on the underdog because if you do it carelessly then it will be like trying to make a profit in vain because the result is more to be a loss.
Of the many underdogs who managed to change the prediction results, there are definitely more that match the predictions with a strong team winning, it can be seen that a strong team will dominate a competition for years, but trying to occasionally bet on the underdog can be done if we see there is a chance to win, not just randomly choose it.

You will get the ML odds but you won't get the -2.5 @4. That is now how bookmakers make the betting odds, they don't make one to give us the advantage, it's always on the betting sites so they will not be abuse. And yeah, it turns out it was a great bet, this happen sometimes in the NBA but if you are good in selecting the right bet, it should not b a problem winning.

I think this kind of strategy is quite interesting, but mind you, not all websites (sportsbook) offers this kind of odds.
