That's how addiction being generated, your adrenaline increases and each time you win or you lose its added a lot either with your enjoyment or your frustration, betting either against the public or following the favorite depends on how you see your potential edge, though like what you stated no one knows what will be the outcome, a kind of risk that you needed to embrace and you needed to overcome as if you can't handle it, things might go wrong and will ruined everything not limited with your finances but moreso with your relationships.

This seems to be true.
That some players, maybe a very small percentage of the total number of players, place bets, what is called randomly or by chance. Roughly speaking, they toss a coin, guessing the teams' heads or tails and place a bet by chance, as the coin fell. By the way, this can be both together with a public bet on the favorite of the competition, and against it. And the choice of the bet in such a game, in general, the player himself can explain to himself as a manifestation of higher powers when the coins are tossed. This can be providence and again God's providence. Such reasons can well be accepted even after the game is played and the result becomes known. By the way, this way of playing is still quite interesting, especially when there are no obvious favorites in the games. It is quite possible to try to play this way, although it is of course risky. It's just that everyone is used to analyzing, and this method does not provide for any preliminary analysis. And by the way, this is exactly what makes it interesting.

If you are actively playing with the sports bet you can see the number of odds and on this you can get a hint if the game is already in favor team, now if you see the odds is too close to each other I consider this as a risky play because you can get a small amount of odds at the same time risk that you might lose the game because the both team is good reason why the odds is not far apart. If you don't have an idea with the game others follow what does the public vote which is the team with lower odds, but if you know very well the both teams and you can risk with the other team with higher odds and potential you can do a YOLO bet sometimes I do this in an underdog matches.

That’s not what OP meant. "Betting against the public" is a sports betting term. It’s used when you’re fading public perception or betting against picks that are heavily favored by the general public. Essentially, it’s about taking the opposite side of a bet that looks too good to be true or is overly popular.

Maybe the articles below can explain it more clearly and give you some insights into how it works.

I understand you are referring here to the type of betting where two or so people sit together and bet on a match or something. It is dangerous, many times after placing a bet like this, the person who loses the bet does not want to pay, resulting in a big financial dispute between the winner and the loser, and from this dispute stage is reached things are much worse. But if a person bets online then there will be no chance of trouble because if the bet is lost then the money will automatically be deducted from his account while if he wins then the capital will be returned to him along with the profit amount. Therefore, it is better not to take such bets where a small amount of money can lead to big problems.

To see the analysis and also the predictions that make, it is clear that everything will show the favorite team and this is the public choice because everyone will only focus and bet on what has big chance of winning, going against the public will be the same as taking the risk of failing even though there is 10% chance of winning.
But I think there are also many gamblers who have random mindset where they bet against the direction, take risks for large multipliers and only rely on luck.

Although many people bet for fun, those who really want to profit from it need deep practice in sports betting.  One should try to bet with an analytical attitude.  Strategic planning regarding your bet size and bet type is very important.  Sometimes even small series bets can be effective for long term profit.

The thing is when he want to place a bet, he need to analyze everything so he will know how big the chance for him to pick the team that he thinks will win. He can choose betting against the public or betting following the public based on his analysis because his reason to place a bet is to win the match. Maybe he can choose betting against the public because he see the chance to win on that. But all in all, he must know about the risks when he pick one of those so he can prepare and accept whatever will happen later.

Maybe I will exclude the word "public" here, because it is undeniable that when more people choose one of the two teams that will compete, it does not mean that the favorite choice is the choice  that will result in victory, actually this is not about how many gamblers choose one option but about how much knowledge and skills you have to choose one of the options that are intended to be choices that have a much higher chance of winning.

On the other hand, one of the reasons is because even though many people bet on teams that they feel are far superior, it does not mean that in the end it is the choice that will win, because especially in sports, skill is not something that can ensure victory but is nothing more than a tool to increase the chances of winning, the point is that it does not mean  that the public's choice or your own choice is the right choice to achieve victory, in the end the results can never be known in advance.

This is what makes gambling so confusing and difficult to become good at, as you could do the perfect bet and do a great prediction for a match, but no one can really predict what it may happen and suddenly you find yourself losing that bet even when you did everything as you were supposed to do, so someone that was relatively new to gambling will try to chance what they did, when in fact there is no reason to do anything about it.

Experience in betting and analysis of the upcoming game are of course important for a player who bets on the victory of one of the teams. If these are not fan bets, when a player bets only and exclusively on his favorite team, then sometimes it is probably worth weighing the risks and betting against the public. And sometimes it happens that this is an excellent decision and the bet wins. I would also draw attention to the pleasure that a player gets who bets against the public and wins.
This clearly increases both self-esteem and pleasure. And in general, this is an interesting version of the game, but of course you should not abuse such bets.

Right thing to do because if you’re betting without a plan, that’s just throwing money around blindly. You’ll also start spotting those “public bets,” and if you're not careful, you might end up on the wrong side. There’s a lot of info out there if you want to dig deeper, but be cautious, don’t get misled. You need solid knowledge to make good calls. Remember this, there’s no guarantee you’ll win every time, but most of the time is enough to make sports betting profitable in the long run.

If they humbled even if they win streaks, they will know that their winning is because of their luck and their analysis. They will not become too proud of themselves because that will no use. Betting against public can gives a good profit but that will depends on the teams that will match. That is why we must have a good skills to analyze each team so we will know what team that have a big chance to win although the weak team can turn the situation and gives the weak team a chance to beat the strong team. That can happens anytime so we must be careful when analyze the team and not forget about the weak team chance to win.

Yes, no one will know what will be the outcome of the match but they can still analyze to finds the right team that can wins. Having experience and good skill to analyze will helps you to have a right choice of the team that can win. But you must be careful when placing your bet and not use too big money if you are not ready with the losses. The losses will comes anytime without you notice so when you only place a small bet, that will not be a problem for you when you lose because that is the money you can afford to lose in gambling. You will not consider to keep playing gambling because you know how long you can playing gambling and when you must stop gambling.

Challenges as this affects the way players place their bets, due to doubts and self negligence. Most often the public opinion tend to switch some gambler's initial prediction to another one, which could end up being false. However, going with our own choices can be beneficial and painful according to the outcome of the match.

Nobody is sure of the right results. That's the reason for some of the experienced players who get confused of the right prediction.

Yup, there are many factors including the refs and coaches decisions, we can't conclude if how the coach will play their game, and how the opposing teams will counter the system, that's the reason why there are underdogs who manage to win against the heavy favorites, they asume that there's no way that the underdog will win, but when the game start the underdog is more prepared and sometimes, the officials are helping.

Though, there are things that we might be able to anticipate if we are betting during the live game we might see how the game being played and we can assume if who's going to have the edge.

Betting in sports is full of uncertainty and risk, although we have tried to analyze every possibility that exists, but There are always unexpected factors that can affect the outcome of the match, such as the performance of the players on the day, the referee decision, the condition of the players and even luck, it is not wrong for us to play against the public, especially if the one who plays is our favorite team, although they are not the favorites with greater odds of course we luck may be on our side,  however, it is important to always consider the higher risks and not bet more than we have.

i love challenge mate that is why I am going against the public but of course  using small amount so i can deal with challenge but not bringing all my losses at all times.

but of course this is depending in our plans and suggestions .

Usually, it seems to a beginner that it is quite easy to determine who will win and make the appropriate bet. Especially when you have managed to win a couple of times before. Here, sometimes, there can be a huge surprise for a beginner, which will result in a series of losses and then regrets about your stupidity. Still, all serious players, of course, do some analysis of the situation before each match on which they place bets. And to do this, you need not only the statistics of previous matches of a given team, but also a lot of other information. For example, reliable information about the health of individual players at the moment, or some other insider information.
This is probably similar to a mini-investigation of various circumstances before the match.
In my opinion, this is the right thing to do if the stakes on the game are already quite large.

true what you said, this also needs to be considered because there are times when we will watch a match between two teams that are indeed seen to be superior even though we can place bets but we also have to pay attention to ourselves if we do not feel confident then it is better not to place bets because sometimes this can affect us more than just betting so the good thing to do is watch and enjoy the course of the match that is more than enough. In addition, we can previously do an analysis to place bets, even though we already know which team is superior but it does not rule out the possibility that the team we support will lose, therefore analyzing it first is also something that must be considered because placing bets haphazardly is not right even though there is a possibility that luck will be on your side but it is not as easy as it seems.

No one is supposed to know the exact outcome of a bet, unless he is involved in the fixing. Experience in match analysis in sports can increase your chances of winning. In this case we don't know the 100% sure result but in some matches we can pick the best swing to win or it is easy to pick. Again analyzing some matches makes it impossible to get results, if both teams are strong. But no matter how experienced you are in betting, there will always be a risk of losing your money. Even if you get a preview through match analysis, the final result remains a possibility for you. Be too aggressive in betting is not the best thing to do, bet only the amount you are prepared to lose. Match analysis experience will help you win more than lose.
