-Is there a possibility that spectators of a sport like you and i with no professional training can develop a better understanding of a sport than some professional coaches of some teams?
It is my experience that most athletic, fitness and sports coaches are not good at what they do.
They're usually people who might know some of the basics and have some background in the sport they coach. For them coaching is a 9 to 5 job where they do nothing to expand, update or improve their knowledge base. They continue to use the same basic knowledge they were taught which will often be outdated or obsolete.
As a result, there are fans who are more credible and informed than coaches. Simply due to fans being bigger students of the game and being more up to date. This is a very common theme. Even at the highest levels of coaching in sports, there is a significant proportion of the population that does not belong there and does not legitimately deserve their position.
Coaches are there for reasons audience can't take part of.
However, in some cases, there are really knowledgeable spectators and they can see what the coaches can't see.
It is like outside perspective and I guess, it is not new. This is why some sportsbettors who are really very familiar with the sports can make a lot of money.
Remember, there are some sportsbettors who can really make this as a living. Because if you are really good at it, your winning chances are high.
So if you feel you are better than coaches, why not use it to your advantage? Sportsbetting may give you a lucrative hobby.
