Topic: Does possessing information play an important role in betting ? (Read 567 times)

Information is an important thing for every bettor. The more information people can keep, the more they can stay ahead of gambling results. However, we do not make any guarantees regarding gambling results. But when a sports bettor gets to know which players are staying in that game or who are not staying, who is injured, etc., I think it is more important for a bettor. I was watching a country play in cricket in sports betting where two of the best players I thought were supposed to play were absent, I would never have bet on that match if I had known they wouldn't play. I lost that match. This is a common occurrence. Information is definitely an important factor for sports bettors. In sports betting only depending on luck is foolish.

This is just common sense, for example in poker there is software that allows you to record the cards and results from the opponents on your table, this is then stored and the software gives you an analysis about their playing style and specific ways to take advantage of those tendencies, and this is not even new or anything, since that kind of software is allowed by casinos and it has existed for a long time, so anyone that has access to it and can use it fully can obtain a massive advantage over their opponents.

In sports gambling yea. I don't dive too deep into it, I just try to find out which teams were the best performing during the qualifiers, which team best performed during the past tournament, and stuff like that. I also check out any related scandals and issues, mostly because of my interest in it but sometimes it can help in trying to identify what the mentality of the player is.

Outside of sports gambling e.g. poker, blackjack, crash, and stuff like that, I mostly just turn off my brain and have fun playing lol. There might be times when I "find" a pattern, but I don't necessarily bring it to heart and follow it to the T all the time.

Information is something very important in sports betting, whoever can obtain high quality information can do a better analysis of the teams during the games and this can allow the person to obtain better results, to get an idea of what I'm talking about, in these days I placed my bets as I always have done, it turns out that I bet on team of the team that I bet on would win, decided to rotate the players precisely in today's game, as I had made a multibet bet, so there was no way to obtain important information such as which players will play in today's game

and that has been the disadvantage of mutiber bets, because we are left placing bets without knowing who will play on the field in the first minutes of the game, which is why in my opinion simple bets are made after the list of all players has been published. who will play and mainly from the starting eleven, there is a greater chance that the person will be able to get a bet right, while the person who has not seen the list of the starting eleven is left making assumptions about which players will be the ones who will play and based on that they make bets and make mistakes, the More patient players who value information a lot don't make these mistakes, and that's why I usually say that multiber bets are the type of bets where people rely on luck, because people bet on the game even before seeing which players will play

That's true but the point in sports betting is to find odds that give you value for your money. The problem is that I doubt in the more popular sports that a gambler really has an information advantage over the bookmakers. This could be the case for niche sports, but the huge bookmakers certainly have analytics in place that understand quite well how to incorporate particular circumstances in a sports team into the odds calculation.

I can't talk about too many sports as only the big sports are my favorite, but perhaps someone is following a nice sport knows whether information pays off more than it does in the NBA or football or soccer. Injuries are publicly known and scandals as well, but it's not very often that I fins odds where I think the bookmaker is totally off. It does happen, but not too frequently.

having a piece of information before the match starts sounds like a fixed match. but it's often the case in some sports in which the working organization is just there to make money out of the matches.

i think this is also true. it's just that the clue is hard to figure out unless someone already feed it to the gambler. the Ngannou vs AJ fight is somewhat predictable but because of the previous fight of Ngannou, many bettors tried to root for him. but in a pragmatic view, AJ makes sense and Fury vs Ngannou was just a promotion of Ngannou as an introduction to boxing.

Let's not make this too technical.

Of course, as a gambler, before engaging in gambling, you should at least know what the hell are you doing in the gambling world in the first place and how you can deal with the risk here. Anyways, I'm referring to gambling in general. You won't enter here and risk your money without having any information, right?

Anyway, I read comments about sports betting. Referring to that, having information plays a vital role in doing a good analysis. Although the match result is still unpredictable at the end, will you risk betting on something that you didn't know why you placed a bet on? That's a suicide bet. If you will behave like that in sports betting and just rely purely on random luck guessing, better switch careers.

Your strategy sounds Machiavellian. Information, while essential in other areas of life, is controversial in gambling. Where do we draw the line when treating information like a hidden weapon for personal gain? Let's analyze your information warfare plan's morality. Gambling is danger without the glamor. Adding altered data destroys the scales. Though knowledge is power, power without principle is tyranny

The strategic deceit and confidentiality you promote disrupt the game. Using data "at the right time to control the game"? This is manipulation, not strategy, far from the noble art of gambling based on chance and talent. Such a tactic turns gambling into a cold, deliberate game of dishonesty, answering your questions. The actual value is playing with honor, obeying the unwritten laws of chance, and accepting that gambling is about unpredictability and risk. That, my friend, is the true gamble

Gambling information is effective in terms of limitations, when to start and stop. Sport betting seem to have a truck load of information available for everyone to read, yet a lot lose out in the game. Whatever we read on news blog about a match, only builds the information rate on the game, but can't help in knowing who wins or not. Games can't be predicted, unless one is opportune to work alongside coaches or top managers. Where I think the fixed games sold to gamblers are derived.

Some get the real and genuine predictions, and others don't. Hence, even with the help of the inner players, the game can change while in the pitch. Reading up on the importance of gambling strategies save up money for a gambler. Thereby, creating available for fresh wins, in future or presently. Depending on the playing strategy of the gambler, and how much he wagers.

I think the OP is referring to sport gambling strategy for instance in soccer betting it is very important to acquire and posses a prior  knowledge about a particular team they are placing their bet on, how strong the team is and how often they score goals, information on their opponent if they are weak team that concede many goals etc these are some vital information that would aid a gambler placing their bets thus having a brighter chances of winning their bets, however I don't know much about Casinos gambling thus I not sure whether there is the need to get necessary information with regards to that type of gambling and it strategy.

I say that sports betting is like you are combining skill with luck, I understand that insight, skill and information play an important role in this type of betting, but at the end of the day luck is always involved to ensure that the win really happens at the end of the session. One of the reasons why I say that it is a combination of skill and luck is because there is no denying that there are always events that are completely unexpected, such as when you bet your favorite team or any team that you believe in, and you put your faith in that team because you have previously obtained information that it is likely that the team you choose will win at the end of the match.

But sometimes your belief will not always go smoothly as expected, it cannot be denied that unexpected events are still very likely to occur, such as for example the team you bet on has a red card on one of its players due to any mistakes that ultimately have an impact on losing the balance in the power of play that allows the enemy to more easily defeat the team you bet on, and isn't this an event that was never expected before? And also isn't it lucky if the match session goes smoothly which makes you really able to benefit from the victory of the team you bet on? Yes, this is what I mean because I have experienced this kind of thing in the past when I was still quite active in gambling on sports betting. Yes, making money in sports gambling is not impossible if you have the knowledge and experience along with the skills, but my only advice is not to focus too much and make this your side income, because the reason is as I said above.

Maybe he is referring to acquisition of information in a specific field like gambling but I see it more of a skill rather than a strategy unfortunately gambling is based on luck though we can rely on gathering informations with sportsbetting to get a higher chances of winning but still it depends on a lot of factor and one of them is luck.

I don't think there's a good strategy in casino games. All are relying upon the system and it's mostly luck-based.

When it comes to sports betting though, that might come in effect.
There are people who would share false information just to increase the odds of their preferred team or player. Balancing. Most favorites have a high chance of winning so the profits are low but what if there are more gamblers who are betting for the underdog by spreading false information that he might win that fight? Well, that will change the odds for a bit because the system will try to stabilize it.

I don't do this though and even if I do, I don't think I can pull enough gamblers to move the odds. This is only for those who have influence in the gambling market and have so many followers who would always follow his lead. It's wrong but gamblers are greedy and they will do anything if they see profit in it.

I don’t think you really need to be among the staff, players or coaching team to be able to know or try to correctly predict the outcome of a game.
With the right and adequate information being placed in the right hands, the outcome could be predicted and quite correctly too. But sometimes in football, even with the right information and conditions, the outcome could come out not like the way it was predicted or planned but it also doesn’t negate the effectiveness of having the right and adequate information.

Having all the necessary information on the two clubs that are playing against each other is very important for one to be able to analyze the match. It will give the gambler a proper information on the right club that he will bet, so that he can win his bet. However, this is not a guarantee that knowing all the necessary information will make you win, it will only help you not to bet blindly.

Gambling is more of luck than informations and analyzing, because you will take your time to gather all the information you need, but after the match, you will still lose. This is because you are predicting the future, and the outcome might be affected by some natural and unforseen circumstances during the match. This is why football is full of surprises, you will see a very weak club winning a strong club, and there is nothing anyone can do to change it.

When you do make some sports betting then it would really be just that normal that you would really be needing up to have that analysis or research with information so that you would really be able to make yourself having that kind of advantage rather than on making yourself that making up some bets without any basis or analysis then you are really just that simply that having that huge losing chance.

It would really be that significant that you would really be needing up to apply analysis because this is also one of the ways that you could really be able to enjoy yourself on doing gambling.
You cant really be that able to take advantage of your knowledge on which you would really be having that kind of approach on which you would be needing to apply.
Information means everything but since we are dealing up with gambling then it cant really be avoided that no matter how well you do make out bets but still
if you are unlucky then you are prone to loses still.

Your thread talk about the importance of possessing information in gambling but your topic is something different. I suggest you change the topic to importance of possessing information instead of making it look like a question.

At first, I find it hard to understand the message you are trying to pass but I assume you are talking about knowing the rules of the game. If my assumption is correct, then, this is not a gambling strategy but a very necessary step for every gambler unless you want to gamble blindly. No gambler play games without obtaining information as regarding that particular game such as odds, team news, line up and head to head in the case of sport betting. The benefit is that it actually helps to reduce the risk of making bad choices.


What do you mean by confidentiality of information? This information is readily available for anyone interested in having them unless you are talking about fix match. If it's about fix match, I'm sorry to say but you might just be wasting your time and end up losing your money.

Please, make your post understandable as much as possible so you can get the appropriate engagement. Majority of comments here prove how complicated this post is. No offense!

Having a lot information is better than gamble randomly without any information, but both of them doesn't influence the results as long as you're not the player, not the coach, or anyone who contribute to the player/team.

If you're one of staff or management of the player/team, you can know the outcome, let's say you give a bottle that contains sleep medicine to the player, so you're know your player will going to sleep and can't fight as good as usual.

It wasn't clear since you didn't mention the specific strategy or information that you are telling But for sure it is a very important thing to have on gambling the information.

What I mean by this is having that information is for sure going to help you win, increasing your chance of winning,what I'm talking about is having some kind of analysis, strategy, or pattern etc. Like for example if you are going to just bet on sports gambling since you can't really predict accurately whose going to win you could just pick anyway, but if you are going to analyse or if you already watch like for example NBA, know the players, stats etc. Somehow you have a good idea which team is stronger and whose team has a higher chance of winning. It might not be accurate for sure, but it surely going to increase your chance, if your going to match a NBA team to a normal team Its pretty obvious that the NBA team is going to win, but if you dont have that information your just gonna bet on anyone anyway since you dont really know anything about it. Strategy as well, is going to work if you know what information is going to be useful like in a card game, I mean there are games where you could have good strategy, like knowing that one card like for example king is already reveal you already know that the king is not going to appear again, but if your not aware of that your surely going to lose if you doesn't have the right strategy.

Of course, and depending on how valuable that information is, it's going to be the deciding factor why you'll want to bet on a game, take for example in basketball, the top scorer of a team is injured was injured during a practice, albeit that top scorer was able to recover, signs of recovery from injury is showing in his/her performance which ends up affecting their game performance that could lead a team that's not really in the zone which might lead to a lose that information is valuable in a sense that you wouldn't want to bet on them because they're likely to lose, there's a reason why insider betting or game rigging is illegal, that information is going to up your chances of winning by a 100% since the game is fixed, you'd know already who's going to win.

Information before gambling in another language is doing the right analysis, it makes sense to think this way but this has nothing to do with your gambling strategy, even if you have access to the right information how will this protect you as a gambler? Your topic says nothing about how to be a good gambler.

Sorry to say, if having information is all you have, you will still lose a ton of money, the information doesn't increase your chances of winning, because at the end of the day, it is luck that will decide the fate of your bets, many people that I knew are so into football that they know everything about it, those footballers that are leaving a club for another, the club that's buying new players, how much each player cost the football club, etc, yet they lost tons of money to gambling.

The best thing to learn is how to manage your gambling account very well so that it won't hurt you and your future self, even if you have no access to the right information and you can risk only what you can afford to lose, you are still considered a good gambler, how much you can afford to lose is everything with gambling, you know this you've to know everything important about gambling.

When I place a bet on a sporting event, I try to collect all the information I can find, this could be past games of teams, their head-to-head meetings, as well as whether the star players will take the field in this match or will not be able to do so due to injury. I focus specifically on the bet itself and approach the analysis very carefully; for me, the interest is in the process itself, then it’s more interesting to watch the game itself. In exchange for quality, I don’t focus on the number of games and I’m not going to bet on something I don’t know, like some people, in an impulse to win back, bet on everything.

In general, I collect any information before making a responsible and balanced bet, although several years ago I was almost not interested in this and I could bet on any game without going into details at all.

This can help, but you can gather as much information as possible and still lose the bet. What i know is that some gamblers do not pay any attention to details like this, they just decide on the teams that they think would win and they put money on them. However, some gamblers engage in analysis of the different teams and looking for reasons to either stake on them to win, lose or draw, if you ask me i would simply tell people to do what they believe works for them.

All I could read from the thread is just a whole lot of information possession nothing about gambling in particular, but if what I’m thinking is what you mean, which is having enough data about an upcoming match like there previous games played the scores on those games and how prepared both team are for there next round of game (sport betting) then yes accessing such information can help you make a better prediction on what the result of there next game will be and your chance of winning will be a bit higher compare to an average betting without knowing previous match result.

Even if it is a game of chance you should stock yourself with knowledge on what you're betting, if it is a game of luck it will only take you a few minutes to fully understand the game so why skip understanding the games that you're playing if it's a sports betting you should at least understand how the game works and just get additional tips from the experts, you should also understand the rules and terms of the casinos you're playing so you will not get into any trouble.
You always have an edge if you fully understand how things work on something you will put time, effort, and money.

When we have the key to being able to win the bet that we are going to play then this will make it very easy for us to use it on the bet that we are going to play and it is very important for us to be able to know correctly about the game that we are going to play so that we can win the bet. That is, when we choose to bet alone in the gambling we play of course this can make us focus more on the game we are playing, but if we play with friends of course it makes us unable to focus on the strategy we use and there will be suggestions from people who are close to us so that we cannot play according to our wishes.

If you are relating the things of life with the things of gambling then you could be making a grave mistake that will rather not help but deceive you. Information is good, but no matter the information you have regarding gambling, if you do not know how to utilize it well but believe it is what will help just like that, then you can't move forward in it. Getting the information, digesting it and blending facts together give the best in gambling. You need to subject the information to analysis and get to use your learned skills about the particular games to know the best way to go about in utilizing it for your good. It is often not easy at all, that is why mere information will not yield anything but your skills could be of great help even without huge information at your disposal other than the common ones you know.

Also, this information of a thing is good with sports betting and not the casinos, and no matter how much the information you know about casinos, it may still not be of help to you because that is working based on certain programs. So information is not adequate here to earn to you but your skills, instinct and luck.

Yep, having information plays an extremely important role in betting but imo a player is not too concerned about the results, I feel there is no need to be too complicated to make things difficult for yourself. I agree that it can help you increase your chances of winning, reduce risks, increase confidence and enhance your betting experience. But no matter how good the analysis is, there are still deviations that we cannot guarantee good results. Although I am not too picky, in some sports betting situations it is not always rely on emotions to choose, through research and collecting information about teams, athletes, events,... we can make more accurate predictions and increase our chances win.

Well, since we are in the gambling section I guess that benefiting means placing a bet and winning from the information we have. But placing a bet and winning are easy parts, getting to some "valuable info" is the hard part.

So the first question is how many people are actually in a position to get/have some really valuable information? I think you are wrong if you think that valuable information is what we read on the internet, where's the point in information if everyone knows about it. Valuable info is when just a handful of people know about it... and if you have some insider info I guess you need to be careful with that. Insider trading/gambling can be illegal depending on your source.

Information is power. The difference between a successful gambler and an unsuccessful gambler is information. Most successful gamblers especially in sports betting try to gather accurate information about a game before it is added to their selection. This may not attract a 100% winning rate but can help mitigate the risks and losses in gambling. Some gamblers don’t worry about getting information about a game since they believe that gambling is strictly a game of luck and winning is not predetermined by the information but by chance. In my understanding, even though no amount of information can guarantee winning all the time, the role of information is indispensable in gambling.

Knowing the list of injured players, head-to-head statistics, morale, new signings, home advantage etc can help a sports bettor make better predictions. I have always researched games before I add them to my selections and I can boldly say that I am profiting from gambling. Even though I don’t win every day, I still record significant wins that override the losses.

Information is the key factor to success, not only in gambling but applicable to all aspect of  life. In whatever you do seak usefull information to enable you achieve a better result. Like me, the level where I am now in life is as a result of information. Also In Gambling the first big amount I won was from the information of playing with lesser odd than playing multiple, so I changed pattern before I started wining compared to my early days of my gambling.

I agree that having information about any subject or job is very important. If you collect information it will be very useful for you to do any work, but I have never had such an experience on a gambling platform, but thank you for presenting such an experience so nicely here. Actually I participate in gambling platforms only for entertainment but I participate only for sports so I can perform well in betting. I never use gambling outside of entertainment and as a means of earning and also I never participate in table games dice etc on gambling platforms so I don't consider data collection much.

Information definitely plays a vital role for bettors and as carefully analyzed here, sometimes the calibre of players to be fielded by a winning team might be a decider if you bet on highest or lowest goal average instead of going for a straight win or loss or draw. That is the information on the star players performance and health and consistency.
Also, information on the betting site one uses is pivotal as constantly ignoring notifications or newsletters may make a bettor be outdated and easily cheated while using a betting online site.

Maybe what OP means is getting a lot of information from outside to use as material for making the best bet. for example, when playing sportbet, of course as a support for betting, we need to get very complete and detailed information about the team we choose. We work on everything, both from the players and the team itself so that we don't make the wrong choice.
but that's what I think. Wait what OP says next regarding the strategy he really means.

Absolutely I was also wondering the strategy OP was referring to become he only talked about getting information to be used in gambling different from any strategy I know. Every gambler have their various strategy which some people may not even want to tell others about it because they believe it's just supposed to be their wining strategy alone.

Spending the time we have on something that is uncertain is a waste. However, placing bets without a strategy, without digging up further information about the bets we take and also without carrying out in-depth analysis, is the same as wasting the money we have for nothing.

And you are right that the effort we put in and the betting strategies we employ are not a guarantee that we can win, or make a profit in the long term, because this is impossible. But at least by doing this, we will always be able to increase our chances of winning. being confident and focusing on skill-based gambling relying on the information we obtain as well as the analysis techniques and strategies we employ, seems to be a better approach. Compared to betting carelessly and leaving the final result up to luck.

But even though we are quite good at doing match analysis, never forget that there is such a thing as the luck factor... in the sense that no matter how good the analysis we make is not the main reason we get a win, because it could be influenced by the luck factor that we have. And we need to recognize this limitation and be able to limit the betting activities that we often do, that they are done solely for fun, not to generate profits in the long term.

Information is key. Without any information, we’re left clueless on how to go about doing literally anything but with the right and adequate information, there is no limit on what we could achieve and get done.
It’s obvious this could be applied to gambling as well. With adequate information on strategies and strengths as well as weaknesses, it would be possible to predict an outcome that could actually come to reality and allow you achieve wins along the way.

I won’t say it’s exactly a strategy as one would be considered not so smart if one doesn’t posses some or the required amount of information needed to knowingly and safely place bets.
Information is important in our everyday lives and the more information we acquire, the better we are in living our lives.

Of course information is very important anywhere, including in gambling but I only agree with gambling in sportsbooks and it will not affect games that rely on luck.

The main key to winning sports betting is knowing information about the teams that will match so that we know which team has the highest odds, with the possible possibilities of what will happen during the match. I'm not a gambler who likes sports betting and don't have much information about football teams, but sometimes I bet on sportsbooks and I lose more because my guesses are just speculation without in-depth analysis

True, slot games are random, so the result will be based on probability and luck, so I don't think there will be a strategy to be used there or even a pattern, so the win chances will be based on luck. Meanwhile, in sports betting, being able to gather information and analyse the teams or players is an advantage, and also being a fan is a must. For example, in basketball, if you want basketball and you are having fun, then most likely you have an idea which team or players are good. In short, you are familiar with the sport you are betting on, which will increase your chances of winning and most likely you will have more wins than losses.

I personally preferred sports betting and also gambling games that use a gambler's mind, for example, card games. In those games, you can increase your chances of winning based on your capability to think and to be strategic.

I think yes, of course it does.

When you are familiar with a league you know which teams can deliver reliable results so it's possible to spot when a team has good odds for one of its matches.
Sadly for most people that's only possible to do with really popular sports so the odds are already in place by the large participation. On other sports where results are more uncertain for the vast majority of people on a sportsbook it would be easier to make more educated decisions against the majority. But also it's worth keeping in mind that the bookie raises a house edge on sports bets as well. Otherwise matches on 1x2 for sports like basketball where there are no ties would be 2.0 odds for one team winning or 2.0 for the other, but it's never like that.

Do you bet on slot games? In there, I don't think there is really any information you need in order to become successful because you will always win based on luck. If it's not a lucky time to win, you will end up losing your money. 

The only gambling type in which I feel some gamblers can take advantage of early information is during sports games, where they can get insider information regarding the club that is expected to win. Apart from that, there is no serious information on how to cheat a casino and become a successful gambler; you will always lose and also win like every other gambler. 

First off, DUH.

Of course having information about the game you play among other more important things are essential to gather the slightest bits of advantages when you make bets. Imagine placing bets and/or gambling without having the slightest clue about the game you're trying to make a bet on. Not only are you sure to lose, you're also prone to getting duped as you don't even know the rules to the game which other players may take advantage of, and of course it's not that fulfilling not knowing shit about why you lost or whatever.

It's not even a strategy per se to research or gain extensive knowledge about the game you're trying to play before actually playing it. It's just part of the process for you to not get slammed by fate or people who would take advantage of your ignorance. It's that basic, it's that important. You don't just think of it as a strategy, you think of it as a postulate you must always do when you make bets regardless if you play for fun or you play to earn the prizes. Cause either way you're going to lose and it's much better knowing why you lost and how you lost than not knowing shit and letting your skepticism get the better of you. Again, don't think of gathering every bit of information you can as a simple strategy. It's not. It's a literal necessity.

Yes, it makes sense, because some of the information needed will make some analysis that a club or a player will play well or not.
Such as internal conflict information or information on some injured players.

Some of this information is very important and will affect the course of the match.
The club or the best players can even make mistakes because there are several obstacles that make everything look chaotic.

The more information you get, it will be a reference to analyze who will win and be able to guess how your match went.
A sports analyst will crunch all the available information to find it all out.

There is no strategy that you have stated or maybe I simply don't understand what you said. But, having the necessary information is not a strategy you can use. It is part of the process for you to come up with the right strategy you can use once you obtain that specific information. There is no such strategy where you use the information, or else you are about having the information of what would be the result of the bet which is basically cheating.

If not based on information, upon what would you even place a bet then? Isn't the whole point in sports betting that you base your decisions on information that you think is sufficiently supportive of your picks?

If you don't bet on information that you gather, why don't you just roll the dice? No information needs to be obtained and it certainly makes sense to just roll the dice instead of betting on sports events that you have no idea about.

Hmm, not relenting huh? Well I like to think that for some folks to relent is definitely an option. The reason why I say this is because I have seen some gamblers that put their life dedication into hoping that they would actually get that magic win that would count as that one big chance they have been waiting for and yet that win never comes as some of these gamblers due to this act get addicted and stuck to playing it.

Don't evaluate but focused on the big jobs of earning from the system. The losses made in the system are from our mistakes, but the rights will continue to dominate other than watching ourselves melt and succumbed to losses. Working with legit and important information with help one to become updated with the system and know when to plot out good entries on the system. I've watch and learn the hardware of milking the system, and all I could say is, we should be having our very best performance and ensure to enchanced our abilities.

Indeed having information especially having the right information helps in good gambling. There are some games that doesnt depend on luck but having a good source of information so that you will know when to implement your actions. Slots and other casino games are good example. There are times that you have to analyse opponents strength and weakness so you need make research. Any wrong information may lead to loss of bet that is why you need to be certain while you are evaluating it.

It does, that's obvious, right? A good example of this is the well known horse racing, which greatly relies on the state the shape animals are in .
If you have insider information, for instanced from the doctors who check health of these horses, you can have advantage, because you'll know that a horse had worse test results than last time which means its  weaker and will most likely get worse times. Another example is poker If you know that someone has bad cards because that player is sweating or nervously doing something, like scratching or touching, you will have the advantage.

When making betting decisions, of course we don't just make decisions without considering other indicators such as the condition of the team we support, the weather during the match and other factors. And even though there is a luck factor in betting, it would be very stupid if we only relied on luck, placed bets carelessly, irrationally and left the final result to luck, just assuming without looking for information and carrying out a more in-depth analysis of the matter. the.

However, we also have to remember that what we are doing, namely looking for complete information and analyzing further regarding the sports competition we are taking part in, is not a guarantee of winning in every betting session we place, we are doing this solely as an effort. just to increase the possibilities. And it would be wrong too, if we eliminated the luck factor in the victory we achieved.

I am somehow baffled how could other players pressure another player when they are playing individually, like for example a casino slots game, crash games or dice games.  Or even with sports betting.  As far as I know, an individual player does not have any betting interaction with other players unless they are playing a PVP type of gambling game.


Information is very essential especially when we are into sports betting.  Knowing the current performance of every player of the team, their weakness, the strategy the coach usually use or the competing person's strength helps a lot in determining which one is able to win the match.  To have a better chance of predicting the odds, it is needed to verify all the incoming information, we all know the internet has lots of lies and trickery so we are best to verify the validity of the information we had researched.


It is simple, one can benefit is the larger possibility of predicting the correct outcome of the matches.  In terms of the game of chance, I do not think there is much difference because we all know that in a game of chance, the result is dependent on the RNG and is independent from any strategies and information one receives.

This is where you have to analyze so you can win the prize, and not just depend on any luck.
Having the right knowledge of course offers a good advantage for you when it comes to sports betting and you have to wear it always so you can have a profitable bet. This strategy will work and this could be your best weapon against the house, if you are able to create a good strategy use it and update it from time to time.

Knowledge is power and with it, one can easily spot out differences of earning and losing phase in gambling system. Information is everything in the system, we can never be so tight when it comes to profits from gambling, rather we should be open and earn our massive profits. Been vital in the system, there's couple of goals to be accomplished and we just have to stay positive in the system. Gambling can only beneficial to us that have capacited good means of gambling, not relenting until my targets are achieved in the system.

I believe OP is talking about sports betting. This is the type of gambling where luck comes second and analysis comes first. You’re bound to do research on the teams you’re betting on and against. This will help you in your predictions. Like every other gamble, nothing is guaranteed. Even with your spot on analysis, you still need luck. One injury in the game or a player being sent off can upset the entire play and cause your team to lose. However, it is better to be prepared than not be.

Having good information on hand is quite an advantage as a gambler. However, no matter how reliable those information are, there won’t still any guarantee that you will end up winning the game. Gambling is still a very unpredictable game and no one knows how it will end. Bonus if you have luck on one side and even a little knowledge on the other side, that will definitely increase your chances of profiting from gambling.

Possessing good information is vital in all life’s aspects. But once it applies to gambling, knowing the house is always has the biggest edge over its players, then the probability rate to win is still slim. You could still end up losing your funds regardless of the amount of knowledge you have.

Especially in sport bets, we need to process information and ask questions before we decide to do what is going to help us to get to where we could be satisfied that the information we have at hand would be sufficient for us to make money and be okey to do some certain things that would keep hi ing us money.
Gambling is very interesting when we have the right information at hand that would help or facilitate our winnings without much consideration. We need to check past matches and the opposition club to see there performance before we decide to go in and chose them that will give us a good profits if we bet on them. It is important for us to keep researching on how to go about our bets to make profits with less stress.

Information overload is a real problem.  There's a constant stream of stats, news, and analysis.  Sifting through it all to find valuable insights takes time and dedication.  You could spend hours researching, and there's no guarantee you'll uncover the hidden gem that guarantees a win.

Even with all the knowledge in the world, sports are inherently unpredictable.  Injuries, bad calls, or a player just having an off day can throw a wrench into the best-laid plans.  Remember that underdog team that beat the odds?  Yeah, that unpredictability is what makes sports exciting, but it's also a gambler's ultimate nemesis.

Knowing how much to bet is just as crucial as knowing about the teams.  Setting limits and sticking to them is key to responsible gambling.  Losing is part of the game, and going all-in can lead to financial ruin faster than you can say "instant replay."

The possession of important information in a gambling game, this sounds like the game is already rigged and that only a few know that and if it is or is like that, obviously the people will have a huge advantage and will always win. , but based on cheating, I agree that in sports there is still a lot of corruption, I have seen it recently, but I am not sure if it is corruption or not, if it is intended for important information of others, but what I have seen lately in football with certain games, like in the League, the time when Real Madrid scored a goal in the last minute and it was disallowed because the referee whistled, well that seems very strange to me and it looked very bad, in reality this is something that makes us To think that something could or could have happened there, besides the trip to Bellingham, that's something else, okay, he said something rude, but come on, everyone says rude things, those of us who play soccer know that we don't say a lot of them, and As fans in an important game we are even more so.

So if it is important and has a lot of monetary value to have privileged information in sports, because that is how you make a lot of money, by cheating but you win, and ethics in referees as well as in other things has been lost, unfortunately it is still like that.

It's not just blind luck.  Information is king in this game.  The more you know about the teams, the players, even the weather conditions, the better equipped you are to make informed bets.  It's a constant battle for insights, an analytical chess match against the odds.

Information alone isn't a guaranteed ticket to victory.  Even with a treasure trove of data, there's always an element of chance.  An unexpected injury, a bad call by the ref, a player having an off day – these can all throw a wrench into the best-laid plans.

So, is information enough to overcome luck entirely?  No.  But it's a powerful weapon in your arsenal.  Think of it like this having the right intel gives you a significant advantage in a game of chance. You can't control the outcome, but you can definitely stack the odds in your favor.

Knowing history or knowing those informations would really be something that totally relevant because you are dealing on sports betting on which it would really be requiring out such
information seeking because having none is just like that you are a blind person on the time that you would really be having that kind of behavior. Just like on what most people been saying
that if you are dealing with luck based games then research and any information wouldnt really be relevant but on the time that you would be dealing up with those sports betting
or even making use of that skill or whatever knowledge that you do have.

But if you are contradicting yourself with your own argument, "the information", you are not giving the correct information and you give a context open to rambling, that is, what you are trying to promulgate you are not doing well, the reality is there, in what you write.

Technically you released what is called in slang; a pot of smoke.

In practical reality, making a bet is something as simple as putting a $0.10 coin (one penny) in a slot, turning the button and the "candy" comes out. Applies to any game in reality. It's something you do instinctively.

Then, there will be some gambler who are only interested in the candy and don't care about its flavor, if the cost-benefit of the flavor is adequate, if you make it very often, what kind of candy it is, etc.

The bet is something intuitive, sometimes the basic information is so irrelevant that you just need to press a button, for example in the case you mentioned Slots.

In sports betting it is the same case, you decide to bet on a match based on the information you have, and sometimes not even that, you just put "$1" for the best probability, period.

In the case of poker, your skills can be empirical, there are guys who simply learned everything they know by playing, because it is a game, at least the essential one, where information circulates and changes constantly sitting at a table with each hand that is played.

There is Blackjack, where by playing a couple of hands you can know that this is not your day and you should be careful or just leave.

In any case, many games do not need any type of information, and in some bets (or casino games) all that information can be acquired empirically.


Now, where your idea applies, which is not all casino games, (since as I said, sometimes you only need five fingers, it is common sense, for example, Dice*), which would be sports betting, poker, BJ , the information is relevant according to the type of player you are, fish, recreational, semi-professional. professional, high roller, millionaires.

Then, knowing and having certain information is decisive in the long term to lead you to have better results in your profits, without a doubt.

Hence, you cannot include in your premise all the betting games or all the types of bets, in fact, you can be the best poker player in the world and be a loser.

I think title it's fine, but you embarrass it with your context, and then I read you at quote above (reply),you ruined that good title your topic had...

Yes information do but that's in the are of current form and the line up for such match, if you know the history of a club and the head to head between them and the team they are going to face you can actually use it to predict the game, and also if you know the lineup of a particular game it possible for you to bet the game and win but what I don't know if they do expose the lineup of a match before it starts, information plays it's own role in winning a bet, but knowing the best selection helps a good gambler to win, gambling is not done without being conversant with the team.

If you have explained better like this, it would have been better. See this yourself:


This makes it not straight forward and confusing, especially the part that I bolded.

Let me also tell you, while gambling, you are not the one in control, it is the gambling site because no matter how certain a match outcome can be, it might be otherwise. Also that in sport betting, the bookies are using odds not to be in favour of the bettor and using it to earn more from gamblers.

Totally depends on what kind of gambling games that you are dealing whether a pure luck ones or strategic ones like sports betting and poker/card games. Its impossible
that we cant really be able to determine on which one is really that something which is really that needing that seeking off such information just for you to increase up that winning chance
on which we know that this is something that would really be that applicable and something that recommended because if you've been dealing up with some games that
doesnt really requiring any analysis like with those dice or slots then it would be that something understandable.

It is really just that you would really be able to realize and find out for yourself which one would really be needing up to be applied
and which one wouldnt really be that relevant.

Information is power and because of the Internet and because information no longer passes through a singular source for validation, we need to be very careful about the kind of information we take in before placing a bet because wrong information will influence you the gambler into making a wrong choice.

In games like sports betting or other kinds of games where it is a gambler competing against the casino or house, I don't think information needs to be kept or falsified to deceive others because the information to another person can be a tip to help them win.

If we just based it on luck then there's no reason to acquire that information and try to give some effort analyzing it. Sports betting could be a skilled based type of game depending on the person who is gambling, if such gambler is more ambitous and would try to make a venture to make a living in gambling, then that venture will be quite challenging but it's not impossible to make a living in gambling, particularly in sports betting.

Well, somehow it has a point in prticular with analysis however, things aren't that easy especially in gambling. There are many 'intelligent' gamblers, for sure, but we cannot say that each of them are successful in gambling. Reason will always be one's luck. As I always say, you may use your thorough analysis or use the strategy you want to increase your chances of winning but nothing will change if you are simply unlucky, then outcome will be the same. Bottomline is, information could help you reduce the tendency of losing but will never guarantee winning.
Information, conclusion, and basis are helpful on deciding which one to bet but why aren't all gamblers are not using such strategy? One reason; they rely with luck and it's not a bad thing. That's simply how gambling works in the first place. A gambler could make a research before betting or just let his/her luck to dictate the outcome of his/her bet. It is a matter of choosing what will best work for you. Eitherway you won't be certain of winning, so just do what will make you comfortable, spending your money with.

Analysis before placing any form of bet is very important because if you don't analyse, the n there's no yardstick for which you will make your picks and this will only mean that you are just doing a random pick and expecting to be lucky without creating a chance for yourself so Incase you get lucky you would have a great chance of getting good sum of money from the bet which you did placed. Gambling without analysis for me only means that you are just luck dependent and may probably not have an idea of what you are doing so you just made random picks.

The analysis anyways shouldn't be based on one thing alone except if you are probably aiming at playing based on a particular option els if you actually want a win playing different options then you should make your analysis on a more broad range so you you can broaden your chances.

Not only information about the game you're playing and the strategies you can employ but also the casino you're playing, adequate knowledge when gambling, especially online, is essential.

We have seen a lot of players filing scam reports because of not allowing their withdrawal to be processed only to find out that the said player made a violation of their terms because of overlooking or not fully understanding the terms of the casino.

We are putting money in casinos so we should be guided on what to do and what not to do, casinos are strict with their rules, so if you of not want to be caught off guard be informed.

Indeed its important since we can't win on the game if you don't have any knowledge on how we can deal on the game we choose to gamble so having great information will give us great advantage to win. Especially on sports betting which we really need to learn first about the current situation happening and get an updates to the team so that we could provably know what are those teams have better chance to win compare to their opponents. But in other type of games like giving random results maybe we still need that but can't expect to get any accurate result since all result will show randomly so we should lower down our expectation then just enjoy.

Knowledge is indeed powerful, especially when it comes to gambling! Knowing the rules and strategies of the game you're playing can mean the difference between winning and losing. And don't underestimate the importance of having up-to-date information on topics such as player injuries, team dynamics, and even the odds offered by bookmakers.

Having access to this type of knowledge can help you make more informed decisions and gain a competitive advantage.

Of course information is needed for you to succeed in gambling!

As a matter of fact, it's through this information  that helps formulate a strategy for you to give yourself a winning chance...if it's sports gambling information is very vital to give yourself an edge over the markets..say you have information regarding key players not to play a certain fixture, then this tells you this said team won't be as strong as they would be with their key player...if it's slots, you would know that through favourable RTP, if you have say 300 spins then by probability the slots will pay for sure and it's all through information.

Totally agree, which is why with this information it does raise your winning probability by far... which is why several of these websites with sporting information remain relevant for gamblers to use to their advantage.

It can help in some gambling games, but to have access to informations isn't the decisive factor, anyway. Gambling is a game of luck and results are random and unpredictable, therefore to solely have access to informations won't decide the game at your favour. Moreover, informations will always depend on the interpretation your will make from them. Informations are facts, they are always correct, but the personal meaning they have to you might be wrong or innacurate, leading you to mistake when gambling.

Let's point out an example. In a sports match you have access to many informations about the two teams involved on the competition. However, you value one information more than other in order to choose which team to bet on. However, the information you valued the most, might not be the one you should be paying attention to.

That is what happens in many games where everyone is focused on the advantages of the favorite team, although in the end the underdog wins, because people weren't judging the informations which favoured the underdog to be important. As you can see, it's not an exact science, and the variables are many.

Information is key to every part of life no doubt but you didn't tie it to your post in any form.

So, what kind of information will a gambler possess that the other gambler doesn't possess? I mean every one in the gambling circle knows the leagues if you are talking about football and if they want to seek for more information to analyze their games they do further research and analyze their game which could fail or win just like any other gambler. I don't see anything special that you are saying about information in gambling. The internet is there to source for sites to help the gambler except they are lazy. Moreover, there are no perfect prediction and that is why gambling is still luck based


What strategy precisely? Strategy of information?  

Information is one of the interests that every gambler must prioritize, having information related to various gambling activities, whether in the form of sports betting or games of skill, can increase chances of winning.
Indeed, guarantees do not necessarily guarantee victory, but as gamblers we must be able to always try to increase our chances of winning in every bet we make.
I myself consider information to be the main factor that can provide success, even though I myself still often experience defeat, having more information can also be beneficial in the long term as form of learning.
Moreover, the benefits that can be taken are not only for learning to increase knowledge but also enable us to better understand each game or bet that we have previously done lot of.
Gamblers who cannot understand and learn from various sources of knowledge will in the long run only become careless gamblers, they will only continue to bet and play with ambition, thereby allowing for more failures to occur.

I agree that OP mentioned nothing about this said strategy.

Though this may be the case and for purposes of discussion, let us discuss the effects of employing various strategies in the gambling sphere. There are multiple strategies that most gamblers employ whenever they gamble as each technique is different per game. For example, the strategies employed in poker are different on the strategies that are designated for blackjack or other card games.

These strategies help the player in order to at least have a slight advantage over the game. Effectively, this lowers the risk of the gambler losing and it gives them a relatively competitive edge against the house.

In conclusion, while there may be some general strategies per game, win is still not guaranteed in this process though should be still be used and exercised.

What strategies make you profitable in gambling to the point that you say you are fighting the casino? I don't think there is a right strategy in gambling unless we consider it a matter of luck if you win.

Even you won't be able to fight the casinos because they are the owners as their main business.

Unless you are referring to sports betting then there is analysis to be done, it can even determine your choice including the bookie himself changing the odds if there is a change in the team, this is possible I believe because when betting on sports I like to do a little analysis even though it is not skilled.

It seems you are referring to secret information like fixed games which was popular on social media in the past but has gradually gone into oblivion. I had once believed there were fixed matches before and I made several efforts to get lay hands on such important piece of information, I went as far as paying for it but it all turned out to be scam because those garbage they packaged as classified information failed woefully and most times the outcome was the opposite of what was expected. I will never encourage anyone to dwell in this dream of having access to secret information that will make you destroy the gambling business with huge wins. So things only exist in our imagination.

Information is the key to every solution. Having the right information at the right time plays a pivotal role in handling the situation.
For example, in gambling, if we are placing a bet on any sports and if we have some information about the team then it gives us an edge and increases our chances of winning.
It's just that how important the information is for the given bet/situation.

Most of this information available on sports is always being considered by bookmaker when placing odds. There might be some error sometimes on odds but it’s not happening in daily basis. So the information you are pertaining is the reason why there’s low odds and high odds on bet picks.


Yeah because some information is very crucial sometimes that can give huge impact on the game. Being informed when placing your bets is really the best move to play safely.


It helps me to win a little bit but still luck gives a huge factor on the result of the games because sometimes players have bad game unexpectedly. This kind of information is not available everywhere so it’s still based on luck in the end.

Research for the information is a must things for gamblers who wants to place a bet. Without information, they will not be able to pick the right teams that can be the winners. They can analyze each teams from the information that they gets so they must search many information from many sources. The benefit of having many information is we can knows which teams that have a bigger chances to win because we collect many information about each teams so we can makes a decision and pick the right teams. Besides of that, a gambler must know how much money he can used to places a bet and don't used too big money if he doesn't want to lose big.

Information they said is powerful and can cause damage and  or cause people to have a big profits in terms of gambling let say for instance when a gambler I mean, a sport (soccer) bettor might get information about a sudden change in a particular team partaining about a player that is moved from another team to another and may cause a position impact to club against the other but as a gambler who is not updated might still go bet the opposite team to win that of the one they changed their player thinking he could win. At this point when you stay up to date you will be able to know how to manage your bets and this can increased your chances of winning or profit for long period.

Yes there is no type of bet mentioned by the OP above so it makes us have to think hard to try to understand what type of gambling is actually being discussed, because obviously there are many leading types of gambling and the OP did not say any type of gambling in his statement, looking at the idea it seems that yes he means the type of sports betting because it is related to information, because it is impossible if the method described above is useful for a type of gambling that is purely a matter of luck.

Sports betting requires us to have insight, experience and also skills in analyzing and also as you said that information is also an important part in this because it will obviously be able to increase the chances of winning or bring us closer to the possibility of winning. I have to admit that information on a team does help if you are involved in this type of sports betting, but yes at the end of the day obviously the possibility of losing can never be completely avoided, because after all this is a betting activity where all gamblers will have two possibilities at the end of the session which is between winning or losing, and maybe I would say that the information you have is still dependent on your luck to actually win.

Any information is already accessible for public and most people already tried their best to analyze the teams, but the result is most people are in loss, why? because luck is the most important part in gambling, there's no guarantee the past result will define the future.

The proof of most people are in loss is the casino still survive until now lol.

This has been the reason I do not really like sport gambling anymore unlike before, but I still do go for the ones that are very common but not very often. You will make analyses to look for the correct team to win and yet many of the matches will be the opposite of what you took. I prefer casino games now which will cause me no stress.

Information is only useful for your consideration when betting, it also depends on where you get the information from and you also have to check it very carefully or try to find other information for consideration and also never be satisfied with the information you get until you really Certain.
Because whatever the reason, you yourself will make the final decision, and you must also do your own research and analysis before making a decision. Because no matter how good the information you get, even from experts and lots of evidence with good results, you also have to know that home is always better than everything.

Information can be searched in many spaces. Without information, of course we don't know what game and what team we will bet on. For example betting on sports betting. Information about who and how many teams will be playing as well as what leagues there are matches. This is not a specific strategy and I didn't see you reveal a strategy here so I don't know what I should answer regarding your question.
What I said has also been conveyed by the user who first responded below the OP.

Probably you didn't read my topic well that's your fault, it is very simple to understand what I am trying to say and obtaining correct information in any gambling type. For instance let's take sport betting in this example, to start betting and chose the good matches or teams to favor you will need much information about that team before betting on them, such as the team injured players, the tactic they will use against the opponent, studying the other team tactics and players.
Another example is slot games, before chosing the good slot game for you using a specific capital or betting balance, you will need to read and get much information about that game such as minimum bet, free spins, maximum win, good RTP and auto spin for example, some slots they require higher balance than others.

I didn't have to give you much details like these ones above, however, my topic is explaining how obtaining information is also considered as a strategy for gambling, without that you may keep losing your money, not enjoying your activity beside wasting your time with wrong games for you.

It is obvious that possessing information that no other gambler has you have the advantage to win that game and I am talking about sport betting in here.In lower leagues it is common procedure that sometimes the games are fixed and by lower leagues I mean like Norway 8th division or Denmark 7th to give an example to as how low we go.Don't get me wrong though,I mean by fixed game only some persons inside the circle of each team playing each other fix this and the info is not publicly available to anyone,in this context having that information from the inside gives the person the ability to bet on a winning bet and as such information is the most important thing in almost everything we do in our daily life.

it is obvious that you have a significant advantage having some information.
bookmakers also have much more information than you, this is why they are able to offer their business.
in the past I have been able to win "long term" bets (for example who wins the tournament?) thanks to information received/elaborated (publicly) at the exact moment 

There is no perfection in gambling,no matter the strategy you may use in gambling, all may turn you down. Even prediction or strategy used by experts still disapoint them. The only strategy I see is the strategy of using lesser odd in gambling a huge amount. Apart from that I see no other option.

If I'm not wrong then you're trying to say that how we apply the information obtaining strategy while gambling? If that's what you were trying to say then surely every serious gambler tries his best to obtain information before placing any bets. Especially, when someone is trying to bet on sports events then information is the key in that type of betting.

Information applies and gives anyone that uses it well an advantage in anything in life even gambling, no can say that the statistics part doesn't play a role in helping you make the right choice, there are some matches that I do avoid cause historically the smaller team has always been winning or having a tie with the other team and If you e been in gambling for a while you would understand that this can happen quite often.

You have to be specific with what type of gambling you are talking here... I pressume that it's sports betting, right?

Possessing information is a must but it does not guarantee that you'll win with the information you have. it's still vital on how you'll analyze that information so you can use it to help your chances increase. Information nowadays is easy to find, especially on major leagues, it's all over the internet, but then again, it will all boil down on how good we are in analying that information we derived.

Yeah, generally information is vital for progress in any sector of life. but regarding gambling I see no relationship between gambling and having any kind of information.

First, I have to ask what kind of information do anyone need in gambling? is the information that a club is going to win the opposite or is it the information that the casino is giving out wins ? what exact information are you talking about?. gambling is luck based, so no matter the quality and quantity of information anyone has in gambling he or she is prone to losing, it's certain that there is no cheat code in gambling.

Apart from being aware that gambling can be addictive there is no information that has help me in gambling and I have to strategy to apply any information in gambling. If am lucky then I am.

What strategy? You have said nothing about any gambling strategy. I do not think you even know what you are talking about. There are many strategies that gamblers are using while gambling but what you said is just not giving any useful information about any gambling strategies.

Hi,


Information plays a major role in anything we do in our daily lives: work, study, investment, and undertaking projects in general, and possessing it is a useful strategy if we exploit it well.

In some fields, possessing information is considered more important than anything else, and obtaining it is difficult. Its importance is highlighted in the ability of the owner of the information to manipulate it as he wants and use it at the appropriate time and in the appropriate place for personal or public benefit.

In gambling, for example, we find that one of the strategies of a successful gambler is to always strive to obtain every piece of information that he can benefit from in order to use it to his advantage against other players or the casino, and his plan of action lies in:

-Obtaining information and analyzing it to ensure its validity before using it to avoid falling into the trap of fallacy.
-Ensuring the confidentiality of information, as the gambler must make sure that he is the only one who possesses the correct information and falsify it in order to deceive others.
-Use them at the right time to control the game and betting.

Possessing the correct information in the world of gambling is an advanced and useful step, as it makes the player play more comfortably without pressure from other players, which can change the course of the game at any time, increase the percentage of chances of profit, and reduce the percentage of losses on the other hand.

-Do you apply  this strategy while gambling?
-How do you benefit from it ?
