How can you believe someone's illusion? Is he a magician? If you want to play gamble or bet please play and don't depends on someone imagination and play and if you lose you won't blame him that he was the one who asked you to play the game through his prediction. Though I have seen friends doing those kind of prediction among themselves but for fun. And I have seen it for Lotto games players. They would just come and say, play this number and you will win. Op even if you win that bet, it is not because of your friend prediction and it is because of your luck.
And to your question, I don't believe gambling expert prediction, though some people would look at the team squad to predict but Chelsea that were losing everytime, won sometimes so nobody is an expert in sport (football) prediction.
It is better you don't gamble if you are depending on predictions from people, because you will not enjoy the fun in gambling. The reason why I said so is that, making your own research and coming out with a prediction that you stake on is another means of learning, and when you win the game, you will be proud that you made the right conclusions from your research.
Whoever, depends on results from people before they gamble, should not gamble, because it shows that they are after profit, and don't know what they are doing. It is better to make your own predictions and don't depend on others, so that you don't miss your luck.
True, it totally remove the true essence when it comes to thrill and excitement on which these are the main things that we are really that doing in the first place unless if you are aiming for money
then you wont really be caring about as long you are making that profit or winning then it doesnt matter whether you would really be following those gambling experts or not.
Just like been said that when you are following someones bets then it does really remove that kind of entertainment and thrill because you have done nothing
and just simply following someones bet and done nothing when it comes to analysis.
Just like on what others been saying that you could really be able to check out some ideas on to those experts but doesnt mean that you would be trusting them 100%.
It would really be just that depending on you on how you would really be taking those ideas.
