When I’m placing bet the odds of the both team matters to me because the odds is in direct proportion to the outcome of the game. The odds of the game also determined the amount in which I’m going to stake in the game. The odds also will make the game more interesting for me to play.
I agree with you, the odds are very important for us to determine on which side to bet. Sometimes it is not really worth it to bet on the winning team if the odds are not really in our favor. For a very small profit it's sometimes not worth it to take the risk. Just like Bayern losing against Holstein Kiel as a clear favourite. Maybe there are more attractive bets available with better odds. Looking at the Odds and the Payouts together is key to make good bets in my opinion.
Experienced gamblers mostly check that, as they are very curious about the risk that they'll going to take, odd is very important especially when you really understand the game that you are betting with.
You can look for other alternatives if you see that the winning amount is not valuable risking your money, more options gives you capabilities to find the best one with decent offer.
Most of those gamblers who are dealing with research knows how to pick the right odd
to risk their money, bigger risk bigger profits.
Its just normal.! Experienced or not, we do rely on seeing or checking those odds first before making bets because you can eventually differentiate which one is favorite and which one isnt.
You would really be needing sufficient analysis when choosing up your bets and you cant just fully rely into this kind of indication because not all will really be winners.
Also there are odds which arent really worth for you to risk on.
It doesnt matter though on what kind of analysis you've been making or presumptions basing off on just seeing numbers.
