Odds are quite tricky and sometimes it will lead us to our losses if we will end up being greedy and we will rely to those odds that will give us a high return.

Most of the time gambers thinks that the lower the odds the higher the chance of winnings, that's leads those gamblers to lose their money.

Quote

As a gambler, being wise is our main advantage to bookmakers so we should not rely on odds instead we should rely on our research and bet the team that you think will win whatever the odds.

Correct! the more you understand the game the more you have a good chance of winning whatever the odds might be.

Quote

But I cannot blame those gambler that are taking the risk to bet in the odds that will give them like x5 or more as sometimes there are upsets in every game but those upsets are very rare so the risk in betting to them are very high.

You aiming high profits so better to accept that risk, though there are gamblers who manage to win such bets. Some are lucky and some really knows how the team or players got their respective advantages.

Quote

If you want to bet to this kind of odds then you should only use a money that you are ready to loss, a money that will not give you a heartache if in case you will loss as your chances of losing if you bet to x5 or more odds is 80% and up.

As always, spare money for your bankroll. If you lose then move forward and accept the outcome.

Odds do matter when placing a bet, odds are given based on current form, league standing, and set of players in the squad. the bookies are smart because we hardly see big odds winning. The small odds always have a better winning rate than that of the high odds. So odds must be considered but not to rely on as there are several criteria while choosing a bet to place.

Majority will really be relying on odds on just checking out which one is heavily favorite and which one is the least specially if you do make bets on a sports that you dont even know on what it is all about.
Of course where analysis and further knowledge is must because there are lots of instances on where upsets do happen or least favorite do win a certain game which means not all would really
be that precise and also there are low odds which arent really worth for the risk for you take like 1.01 or anything which is lower than 1.2 or 1.1 isnt something that you can really bet on.

if it's too obvious just like what the op posted i really think i would just rely on odds mostly people who are not familiar to an event rely on odds sometimes i do that too but if you know well the event i think odds doesn't matter.

I think the odds are critical if you ask me, if you see odds that heavily favour one team over the other but you think the actual odds of that team winning are smaller than advertised then you are making a bad bet because there is no value there, you need to find bets that give you better odds than what you consider are the actual odds of the game, I know this is difficult but that is exactly what professional gamblers do to become profitable.

The odds can be a critical asset when it comes to betting on something you have small to nothing idea about as it will help you cast you gambles with ease as this have been by an in-game professional. But sometimes the odds can be confusing if you better knowledge on the event such as a favorable team and a very professional team is on the line where odds may be on the most favorable team but isn't the most sure win that you can bet on.
For me, the odds will help you decide on something that you low to nothing knowledge but may confused you on those that you have most knowledgeable events.

That is quite true. The odds can play a big role for new bettors or gamblers. Its also quite helpful to newbies that would like to start a career in betting. Odds can also play another role when they really know the teams that they will be betting on and that would be helpful to gain more profit.

Watching the game while doing in-play best has the best entertainment value. Especially with soccer when the lower ranked team scores first and then betting on the higher ranked team could get quick interesting sometimes. The odds will be much better at that moment.

That's right, and another case of in-play betting when the odds can become attractive is when the score is 0:0 and about 10 minutes left till the end. Since many bettors start betting on the Draw, the odds for an obviously stronger team start going up, and you can win 3x or even 4x of your bet with betting on the stronger team for which the odds where only 1.2 before the game started. (Of course, if that team wins in the end).

Correct, in-game betting could give you way better odds. But mostly I only do that for the Dutch Leguea which I follow.

Even on games I am not watching but if you keep an eye on the live scores I can find some sweet in-game bets as well.

I think they would not put low odds if the chance of winning is high so in my mind I really think by having that odds the chance of that team is high, it still depends since not all of the time it always works. To answer your question sometimes I just rely on odds rather than studying the match.

Odds themselves can tell you nothing if you don't know the potential of a team or player. Of course you can still bet blindly, and have fun with it, just like I did today betting on the DRAW in the AL Batin AL vs Hilal (KSA) soccer match, knowing absolutely nothing about either team, but then it's more like a dice game or slots, where you rely purely on luck, while in real sports betting you rely on your research.

Reading through the last few entries I have to admit it really depends what you want to get out of gambling live or online.
You can have multiple tiny, insignificant wins for the sake of winning, or, you can go for that big win that takes many hours of game play for one win that hits paydirt.

Relying on odds shows that the person in question is looking for big amount to win, because odds is not the players involve or the club itself, it's obvious that many people always based on odd thinking that the higher the odd the chances of the club bearing higher odds to loss game, but is not really that way in soccer games, a higher odd can win lower odds due to the capability of player's in the club, some people misunderstands betting and issues of higher odds and lower odds has made thousands of people to loss winning very well.

~And it's obvious that odds will change during a game because there's live game betting and odds will be based on what's happening in a certain match.

Betting on the events "In-play" is one of my fav thing to do. The odds are changing quickly, and you can make a good bet if you do it in the right time. Wink

And most especially if you are watching the game, in play betting is quite very attractive for people who have a lot of time to focus on the games they are betting, and for me, I've done that sometimes and the result is positive per my observation.

I thought about similar idea before (in play betting?) never knew it exist. I wonder if it's exactly what I think it is... more like predicting/betting on the every potential move, action or result of teams during a match. It'll be an interesting way to bet.

But Some gamblers believe that it's purely Luck and that is why the diversion comes commonly , they don't even spare more time in evaluating but just betting , of course we are far different from them because we want at least some assurances that our bets will be placed in right one .

That is because they want to try their luck and still continue playing gambling for more rounds. Evaluating the previous game will be necessary to know what we need to modify to give us more chances to win. We can learn from our mistakes to have a better chance, but that does not mean that we can win because luck is still there.

Does luck really apply to it?

I mean each team has its share of chances or possibilities of winning the game. You bet on one team because maybe of your analysis that shows that they will or could win the match. Since they have their own shares of chances of winning, you never know what to bet so people usually bet on low odds. Sometimes the higher odds win but it is not because of luck but it is quite surprising given that they are the underdog or has the lower percentage of winning the game.

I think that can apply to that because the underdog team can change the situations, and they can perform better playing than the opponent, so they can increase the percentage of winning. And if the underdog team can change the situations, that will make us lose the luck to win. Sometimes we miss something that makes us make a wrong analysis, so we choose the wrong team.

You said it yourself.

When the underdog perform better, they increase that percentage of winning. That means it is not luck, it is themselves that increased their chance of winning. It is not luck at that point. These players having a great performance in a game is not luck. But that might be different from that games where the players played really well in a season.

It is okay if they believe in luck, well, all of us believe on it. But if you can do some research, why not use a couple of your minutes just for researching and reading updates with that bet if it's doable, right?

Yups because that's our Money that will be at risk , sometimes laziness is the reason why we losses too much .

And after losing they will Blame the game for not being fair but the truth is they are the one who's Stupid not to Study and research first before Betting.

Anyway it's a gamblers way to Find someone or something to Blame everytime they Lose.

It is the truth that many gamblers that lose are blaming the game.

They don't look at the odds and just bet without finding which is good odds and the one that's having the favor. It is common whether they bet on good odds and still lose then blames the game.

But right now I never like for betting with team football without know and never watch and keep focus with europe team like english primer league or serie A, some time I get position with Bundesliga team just with know team and have good record before.

It is a protocol if you want to win with your bet. You need to get at least the basic background of the teams that are about to play.

And even it's an obligation to have knowledge about the team/player before putting a bet, unless you believe in Luck and you are a risk taker in gambling.

There are bettors that don't believe in researching and just place bets as they desire. Gambling is risky and they even made their strategy add more risk into that bet.
