It’s hard to find new quality topics in this section anymore where people engage in genuine discussions and stay on topic. I had an idea related to sports betting, probably to give a chance for people not to spam with the repeated subjects here: what if you bet on a single team for the entire season? Is there a sportsbook that would facilitate this by allowing you to one bet on the same team playing in a specific league for every match, setting the same amount each time, and getting the best odds just minutes before each match?
I know it’s not easy to put all your hopes on one team, invest a good amount of money, and wait the entire season while observing their performance. there are maybe possible features like the ability to cancel your bet, cash out after certain matches, and how the odds would be calculated.
I’m not sure if such a betting method or approach is available before, but it seems unique to me. A sportsbook could potentially offer good odds and alternative betting methods that deviate from traditional match by match betting, especially if you have a favorite team in any league.
To make my idea easier; For example, if you had placed that long term bet on Real Madrid for the 2023/24 La Liga season, knowing they only lost once and drew 8 times, would you end up with a good profit? Or is it better to manually place bets on Real Madrid each match? I sometimes miss betting opportunities because of forgetting the match timings, which results in missed chances for profit. What’s your opinion on this method?
By tradition, most sportsbooks place their bets on single matches and perhaps never bet on the same team during a season. In some instances, though, there is the possibility of having this option pop up with a betting exchange or through some sort of betting system. The frequency of this bet depends on the rules of the sportsbook or platform you are working with.
Making a profit from it In terms of a year, if Real Madrid performs well in a year, you can make huge profits by betting on it continuously. Instead, it just affects what odds can be and how they adapt over time. Alternatively, with individual match betting, you have to make use of multiple matches and adapt to the same performance - team dynamics.
Just be carefule such as withdrawals or bets can get lost. Therefore, it is important that you place your bets and understand the rules. Also, in case you decide to bet on mobile. You can use tools or reminders to keep yourself updated about the gaming time so that you don't miss any opportunity. Generally speaking, it can be a unique strategy to have betting on one team for an entire season. But still, consider the risk involved and go along with your general betting strategy.
I do not like the idea at all. It may not be profitable. If you take a very strong team, there would be little odds for winning. There may be sometimes that the club will lose which is another loss.
It's not just you, I also don't buy the idea because it's not guaranteed not minding whether it's a big team or not any team is prone to losing a game at any time and
how would I know when not to bet for or against the big team.
Lolz.. you wouldn't know. The funny part is that Sometimes a big club with less odd will be beating by a small club with higher odd that could have been staked on, but since it is a all club it will not be considered.
I see this strategy stated by op just like other form of gambling which involves risk of win and lose. There will definitely be win or lose. It is better to skip some matches to be played in the season, expecially those with less than 1.15 odd or 1.20. and select only matches with big odd.
I particularly don't underrate any team that easily irrespective of how big an elite team they may be playing against due to the dynamics that revolves around football, and the risk about op strategy is that it will demand the gambler to stake with huge money in order to make a good profit due to how small the odds would be set by bookmakers favouring the big club. So each time the gambler loses he doesn't just lose small amount of money.
It's definitely just like every other strategy in gambling which is why I wouldn't subscribe to it despite how much appeal it sounds theoretically it is impracticable for profit making except the gambler wanna be doing this for fun then we'll, it's cool.
You do bring up a good point with the issues that come with betting on one team throughout the whole season. Football is dynamic, and at the chance of a striker in a top team like Real Madrid, it could really be a very hazardous strategy. This is because such teams are normally given lower winning chances due to their higher winning probability. For a large investment, the potential gains might not be significant. If things do not go as expected from the team, huge losses can be experienced.
Your warning has been well established. This is because betting strategies always come with their inherent risks. And there is no surefire way to make a profit. Although one-season bet on one team may be fascinating from a theoretical point of view, here the most evident main reason is the derivative consequences and possible hazards for one's wallet: some people love to gamble so much that income generation is not as important as the process itself. Still, for those players who try to maximize their profit, all these factors need to be weighed precisely.
