I am terrible at Fantasy Football!!!

I very often lose when I bet on friendlies... I usually bet on a win, but often the result is not in my favour... Many clubs or national teams do not make an effort in such matches, do not attach importance to them, treat them like a training session... That's why I try to avoid such bets!
It depends on the friendly match itself, there are many teams that hold those friendly matches just to raise money so in that case their best payers are not going to take the field and predicting the result will be almost impossible, also it is unlikely that even the backups are going to give it their all as they know there is nothing at stake, but if the match is being held to prepare themselves so they can compete in an international tournament and the best players are on the field then it makes sense to bet on those matches.

I am not saying this is a risk free bet, no bet is risk free, but I noticed this type of match most of the time results to many goals scored which makes better for taking over 1.5 or over 2.5 and the games are won.

Good point, dude! But another problem that in such matches you never know who win. So to bet on the team is very bad idea (i'm not sure, maybe someone had told that before in this topic) because you can't predict how even strong players will play: with motivation to win or not.

But about bet on "over 1.5" is a good point, again.  Wink

Friendly matches may look like easy to predict but its not going to be too easy, infact it wil be very confusing when we make bets based on the anaysis against both the teams and their players because the players will take this match as just a match where nothing to lose on the other side some players want to shine in those matches if they get chances.

Yep, the same point as me!

I've bet a few times on friendly games, always from teams I knew reasonably well (at least), and never had good financial results.

In friendlies neither team has an obligation to win, so no matter how good the odds are for a given team, it isn't hard to see them losing a match. The final result is always very unpredictable, especially if you are betting on details such as who will score the goal or what the exact score will be.

Isn't it possible that these friendly matches might become "fixed matches," with the winner determined before the game begins? This indicates that there is a great deal of corruption going on behind the scenes in these matches, with no competitive or strategic play.

Some may also argue that matches like this are merely for the purpose of putting their training into practice which means that the result does not matter.
Yes, it's possible, but keep in mind even competitive matches can be fixed. Probably what happens with friendly matches is that it's easier to fix the results without causing too much suspicion from people around since there will be always the excuse nothing was being disputed (reward, title, prize, trophy, etc), so the players didn't put any effort on it.

This uncertainty makes logical analyzes inaccurate and bets on this category much more risky than in normal games.
If it worths the risk or not I think it will depend on the size of the gambler's bankroll and on how much he is willing to lose.
Friendly matches might be easier to fix in other ways than tanking the game actually. I mean both the teams can agree to a fixer playing a slow-paced game and avoiding taking shots or taking too many shots as per the demand of the fixer. Personally, I am not too fazed by match-fixing because I am a small gambler and I don't care if teams are fixing games because a fixing might even happen in my favor too.

Mind you, I hate match-fixing no doubt but there is no way to detect it and a few players getting caught and penalized a few thousand backs doesn't mean too much either and the truth is that some of the officials are also corrupted.

Depends on the friendly team in the match, if the mediocre team plays better I don't bet and if the favorite team plays I will bet what else the two big teams play it will be more interesting.
even though it's a friendly match if the big teams play they will still play seriously because it will protect the team's good name, and friendly matches are broadcast because to entertain us for another reason because all the matches are over.
We can  really make out some comparison directly and would always stick out on the team which had some better stats compared to other one but if both teams are top tiers
then its really hard to determine which one who would win up.

The problem on betting with friendly matches is that both teams arent giving their best into their plays which it turns out to be unpredictable since top tier or better teams
could be possibly beaten up by lower ones.

Right and also in soccer for example, you don't know what kind of substitutions both teams or even only one team is planning. You bet on the team with the better stats and out of the sudden the coach decides in halftime to bring six players from the second team to give them a chance to prove themselves. That's tough to assess before the game and even what is going to happen during the game.

Live betting still won't give me a good advantage I think, because this is about a friendly match I think also when the favorite team loses temporarily, then when I bet directly on a mediocre team I will only get low odds too. For me personally betting on friendly matches will really require skill, because here we will not easily bet on the line but if you want to get off the track at least it requires high confidence too, and this is very different from matches throughout the league and I prefer to avoid it.
I meant a different bet in the described situation! When the favorite starts winning, the odds for the underdog skyrocket and it is necessary to bet on it. The randomness does not disappear anywhere and the underdog may well win, and even if you lose most of the bets, you can be in the black, since rare wins will give a large profit.
Such a true analysis of the games and I am sure you have made some really big wins. When underdogs are down a goal or score in any sport, the favorites will start to slow down since it's a friendly game and might make some player substitutions which doesn't change the odds too much but gives a really good chance of the underdog to equal the score and for the bettors to cash their bet slips or just take the risk and ride your luck for the win.

So much talk about rigging in friendly games but I think the limit for betting on such games is low because these games are meant more for fun than anything else and people rigging matches prefer to place big bets and hence more important games where a large sum of bets are accepted by the bookies.

Well, if the good teams play, it does not still guarantee that the match can be won, players do not take friendly serious like league and cup matches, they are very sensitive not to even have injuring, even from seeing them playing you will noticed they did not put in much efforts unlike in tournament matches. But this can still indicate that the strong team have more possible chance to win the underdog. Only what I just like to go for on friendly matches are over 1.5 and 2.5 goals and nothing more.

You won't know if the other team plays better because you have to bet first until the game starts.

even though it's a friendly match if the big teams play they will still play seriously because it will protect the team's good name, and friendly matches are broadcast because to entertain us for another reason because all the matches are over.
Not all of the matches they play serious. We all knew it, even if they show how serious look they are. You'll see that it's somehow like an exhibition match if that's a known friendly match.

Betting on friendly games often seem like the worst sort of event to place a bet on to me. Reason been that, its often a test or perhaps some sort of exercise to the players. Having no sense of focus on the game andost times, you don't see the first team playing the games. They just pick a few players and mix them with the some upcoming guys. It's often bet of a top team against a much lesser team who wants to test how good they are but then, not having the first team kind of levels the platform though, you can see every bit of seriousness in the small team. So it's risky to place a bet on a win or lose market.

If you know what would possibly be the outcome of the game, then you should have a good strategy on how to win. As a bettor, we don't actually complain whether the game is just a friendly match or not, as long as we see the value, then we put a bet as we believe we can win.

in my opinion betting on friendly match is not good , but betting on professional match like LaLiga , italy championship , germany championship, euro 2021 , is good because there is lot of option of betting corner , match minute , and for match frindly the two team for ecample can play with litlle serious  , but in general betting have lot of risk whatever the type of the match because in the gambling it is not easy for making  profit

That is veracious because if the teams playing in a friendly game aren't competitive, it is not worth taking the risk, especially in a friendly game. If the teams playing have high caliber players they will always look to score and defend equally well.

I don't care much whether a game is competitive or just friendly but as long as I recognize the players and know their skills, I make my bets based on that without thinking too much and because I bet on winner more than over and over goals, I don't really care too much about how many goals each team do as long as my team comes out victorious.

Actually as long as the team that plays is a team that I know, I have no problem betting, even if it's only a friendly match. Especially those who
play my favorite team, it's the same with you, I won't think too much. I will immediately place a bet and am ready to accept the risk. Because
if the team I know plays, I can predict how the game will go. Although maybe the team did not field all of its star players and was only dominated
by young players, but the strategy used usually remains the same. And big teams usually have quite high self-esteem, even if it's just a friendly
match they don't accept if they have to lose.

^ Probably it is pure entertainment if you will stake on the on friendly matches because that is not a competition that is an exhibition game that supposedly a friendly fight between the team or the players who played this. Most likely this kind of game does not have a prize to compete, sometimes it is just a donation to any organization that needs help not just by the players. Either it will win or lose does not matter, as long as it will give entertainment to those who have watched.

There’s a high possibility that the match is fixed since this is just a friendly matches where the result is not a big deal to both parties so if you do place your bet, you should understand the risk of it and expect that the result might be different.

Friendly matches serves as a training of course especially if you have an incoming fights, your team will look into someone and ask for a friendly match, whatever the result is the purpose is not to win or lose but to be train and gain a good experience.

Where there is risk, there is an opportunity to win. I myself do not like random matches and rarely bet on them, but it seems to me that the strategy of betting on an explicit underdog can be profitable due to the randomness of the result. Perhaps, in order to get a particularly profitable odds, it is worth waiting for the underdog to start losing and at that moment place a bet.
Live betting still won't give me a good advantage I think, because this is about a friendly match I think also when the favorite team loses temporarily, then when I bet directly on a mediocre team I will only get low odds too. For me personally betting on friendly matches will really require skill, because here we will not easily bet on the line but if you want to get off the track at least it requires high confidence too, and this is very different from matches throughout the league and I prefer to avoid it.
