This is what they are counting on. Many people do not want or cannot independently analyze events. This really requires time, effort and mental capacity. I know many people who find it incredibly difficult to use the thought process, as it quickly tires them out and leads to depression. What did you think? This is a fact and it is difficult to argue with it. My colleagues told me exactly that they do not want to think, but only obey and follow the crowd. It is much easier this way.
There is a good saying:
"To swim against the current, the fish must be strong. And even a dead fish can swim with the current."
People wants the easy way to place their bet and if they can get the choice from the public, they will use it without think about if the choice will be right or wrong. What they care is how they can win from the match or event so that public choice will help them to decide fast without analyze anything.
They realize that if they analyze one by one, that will consume more time and they can be late to place their bet. We can not let ourselves lose in the match but we willing to use public choice to place a bet.
This is of course correct.
But I probably know from my own experience how much the public opinion can influence which team is worth betting on at the moment, on the player's decision. Especially on the decision of an inexperienced player. All the same, the thought gets stuck in his head that the crowd of people, including already experienced players, most likely do not make mistakes. However, over time and with the accumulation of experience in the game, you begin to treat public opinion completely differently, especially in situations with approximately equal chances of winning and the absence of a clear favorite in these bets.
For example, I now also do not pay much attention to what public opinion says, also because now they have learned to manipulate this very public opinion and you can no longer trust this information in principle.
If they have so much experienced in gambling and can analyze the match better, they will not just accept what public choice. They will trying to analyze more to find why public choose that so they know the reason and they can follow or choose the opponent. They don't just follow the public choice especially if they don't know anything about the match because finding more information about the match is a must for them. They don't want to waste their money by picking the public choice without knowing the truth.
If you believe the statistics, most players lose more than they win, so you could assume that public opinion in choosing a bet is a bad choice, because this bet will fall into bad statistics. In fact, I do not worry much about how much my bet can coincide with the bets of other players, because I do not try to understand how much this coincidence is, I just bet on what I think is a good choice. )
That is why we must trying to analyze more with the public choice so we can know why they do that. We can not let us follows something that we don't know and needs to make sure that we follow the right choice. When we can have our choice to place a bet, we will not feels sad when we lose the money because we know that is the consequences that we may face in gambling. We just accept the outcome and will try to place a bet in the next days.
