Topic: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets - page 2. (Read 820 times)

You have a point. It’s really not worth-it to place bet on high odds if you really think that the team has low chance of winning. In my case, I pnly bet on underdog team that has a record of beating strong team in the past like e-sports when a team has the momentum. Typically, Bookmaker provides odds based on the previous record without considering the team momentum when both team has record for the current tournament. But on a game that the underdog has no record of making upset, It doesn’t make sense to pursue that bet even with high odds.

Making a parlay bets of low odds is more acceptable for rather than a game with a clear dominance of the strong team because it’s very hard to have an upset on that scenario.

I bet once in a while on underdogs in football and one of the game surprised me because the odd was very big and I decided to just give it trial and to my greatest surprise,it brought a win for me. You know as humans,when something works for you,you will think that it was your instinct or a good strategy that you have discovered. After that day I started betting in underdogs but I lost. I later went back to my normal way of betting,sometimes I still try my luck on underdogs because if you manage to win,you will be having a good profit. If you are gambling for fun then it wouldn't be a problem to bet on underdogs just for fun.

Since I'm a huge fan of football and I always place sports bets, I have of course bet on the underdogs a few times already. As far as I can remember I have won around 3-4 times and to be honest there were some huge wins. It's just a feeling that drives me to take those risks and bet on the underdogs.

Before a match takes place, I read the conditions and ask myself many questions. For example, what if the team that has been performing poorly lately manages to defeat a team that is in the top 3 of the league? I delve deep into investigation and if I feel like it could happen I take the shot. Usually, the odds are around 5 to 7 or even higher in some opportunities but it's definitely possible. The riskiest bet here is predicting the correct score in favor of the team that isn't expected to win. I think the odds for that would be much higher than 15, but honestly I have never won those kinds of bets because they are quite hard to predict.

I don't remember how many times I've done this but most likely over 100 times since I've been betting for years now. I've done it many times for fun or just to go against my friends' bets for fun as well. 😄

It's an insight based on my analysis as well as my personal feeling, regarding an upcoming game. I will be discussing various factors such as the teams involved, the prevailing conditions, the stadium, and other elements that could potentially favor the team with a lower chance of winning. This analysis involves delving deeply into the game's situation and trusting one's instincts.

I don't fully understand this question, but I am aware that the level of risk is quite high. However, I'm curious to see if my prediction will turn out to be correct or not! I typically don't wager a lot of money on these types of bets, usually around $20 to $30 on certain occasions. Nevertheless, I do hope to win and potentially make a great profit by betting on underdogs.

It can happen but are you sure to bet some money on an uncertain team as this can be a very big risk for you?
Maybe by betting on a team that is not a superior we can get decent Odds, but if you are only going to lose it is better to bet on a team that clearly has a big chance of winning even though it can only have quite low Odds.

I also bet for fun and to be satisfied but if I have to lose money more often by picking the wrong team then I decide not to risk it.

Well, I wouldn't call it a miracle though because in sports games, most especially football which is one of the sports I believe catches everyone interest, anything is meant to happen, and what ever happens is meant to happen, that's not a miracle..

A miracle is when the impossible happens, something absolutely no body thought was possible, in sports, there are absolutely no miracles, cus every team, no matter how big or small, have a chance of winning a match, and when a very small team, or a team we consider the underdog ends up beating a very big team, it's no miracle, but shows the small team exercised their chances well..

My last bet that I can regard as betting on the underdog was on Sevilla.
First it was against Manchester United in the quarter final of the Europa league. Sevilla were not in a good form at the time and everybody wrote them off. On the other hand Manchester United were among the most in form teams in England. Sevilla's odd was like 3.90 or so. Somehow I believe Sevilla would win and they did, in the first half for that matter. It was the easiest dollar I ever made. 

I took that same energy to the first leg of the Juventus vs Sevilla match. This one ended badly. very badly.
It wasn't because I lost the bet, but it was the manner in which I lost the bet.
Sevilla was given just over 5 odds to win and I took it. Sevilla scored and was winning. I had already concluded that I had won the game. The 6 added minute had elapsed but the referee didn't end the game.
Second half substitute Paul Pogba heads the ball into the 6 yard box and Gatti was right there to finish it off with a header.
That was one of my most heart breaking moment of last season.  . It ended in a draw.

Unless the underdog team can turn things around and pressure the underdog team, it often happens in many matches where the crowd leaves the underdog and they choose the underdog as the bet. But some people still choose that team as a bet and it turns out that the team has succeeded in suppressing the team that people have chosen and even managed to beat it. It would be a surprising result because the people who picked that team did not expect to see their team win. After all, the odds were low. It happened by a miracle alone.

It's the same with me, not a lot... I like your words "Those are like yolo bets with last money", I will try to remember this one. I do that with football, I put the last money on one game or more (depending on the offer at that moment), or I buy some bonus round on some slot with the buy bonus feature. And I had some good hits, I recovered what I lost with a little profit, but that happens maybe once in 10 times, more or less.

It depends on what sport I'm betting on and how strong I feel about a team but I remember back in 2015-2016 I was watching the Golden State Warriors and they were getting killed. I think they were down 30 points at halftime and the odds were 10-1 on them winning the game. I placed a $50 wager and won $500 from it. I had seen the warriors come back a few times like that and it was worth the gamble IMO.

Overall I wouldn't make tons of bets like that, but now and then if you have the extra money and are getting amazing odds, it might be worth the gamble and it will definitely make the game you are watching a lot more interesting.

Just like me usually I limit my sports betting weekly, when I have a sports betting loss and only a small amount of money is left in the account, I bet the money on the underdog with the remaining money and end up winning especially when I get annoyed with it it just so happened that the betting odds of around 6.50 were so big that it made me get half my capital back.

It often happens when we really feel annoyed because we have lost to several teams that we bet on and then try to spend the full money with the remaining money instead we get a win, it sounds weird and even looks funny, it won't happen again because luck won't come for the umpteenth time time, but it was an interesting experience for me personally. 

Not a lot.

Those are like yolo bets with my last money on some unknown tennis game. I don't bet usually on tennis but it's like a random roulette on which sport I'll bet and I don't even know the player.

It's certainly a yolo bet. It's not also a big money but it was a good experience and that's really possible for someone but I just got lucky that the feeling of winning was felt.

yep, you are right and definitely choose the odds before the match takes place, am I right?
with the statement you said it makes a lot of sense because if before the match takes place and we see the difference in the odds that is not too big maybe the underdog team still has a chance to win because when the bookies give the odds the difference is not too big usually there will be surprises that will happen .
so there's nothing wrong if we try our luck by placing bets on the underdog team.

True, winning bets when we choose a weak team is not impossible but what is impossible is when the difference in odds is really very big because it illustrates how the condition of the two teams will be when they compete later, when the weak team gets odds that are still in the range below @10.00 there is still a chance of winning even though it's not 50-50, but when the team gets odds of up to tens, for example, 25.00 and above while the favorite team with odds of 1.10 or below then the chances of winning are smaller or even impossible, so it really depends on the difference in odds, and sometimes there are teams that actually don't weak but getting big odds is an opportunity even though the bookmakers know something else because the odds are made by many factors.

Placing bets on underdogs used to bring us winning, but these are very low when we go with games where the odds of the underdog used to have big difference. Apart I've won by misplaced bets and lost in the same manner. My choice of bet was a team and out of some excitement used to bet on the opposite team. Later while checking the match result it used to be really sad.

When placing bets, even i have experienced inner voices asking not to place a bet but i would not usually listen to them and ended up loosing  .

I have won bets on fights where the heavy underdog went on to win the fight but i have not placed a bet on heavy underdogs in Football or Cricket but one surprising win i got was in Table Tennis as i was following a bet which was made by someone who made a huge 2 way bet with odds 39 and ended up winning which was surprising.

With just simply using up our own common sense then we could really eventually tell on which one or bet would really be that sensible on doing so. Despite on being a fan of a certain team then you cant really just ignore
those differences in between teams on which on the time that you would really be considering yourself to be that good when it comes to sports betting then it would really be impossible for you not to find out on which
team or player does have the upperhand on a certain match on which means that if you do see some possible upset then this is via into those doubts and anxiety on choosing up your initial bet.
There are really indeed times that there would be some inner voice which would telling you that you should be betting on the other side. 
I have experienced some winnings bets on betting on underdogs but thats only once and the rest is a lost bet and i have stop on following those assumptions everytime i do feel it.

Yes, that's one way of looking at it, but generally when a person is new to a casino, they take a look at all the games and they like it, and they want to participate, they want to be a protegist, that's why sometimes there are many who don't know they stand between making a deposit to the casino and making good bets, some people always look for easy games, cards, dice, something like that to warm up, crash, slots, roulette, all this in a casino is what most attracts people, no I can deny that I have always played roulette, and craps, then after a while my interest switched to slots.

With respect to slot machines, it is always good to keep in mind that it is better to choose things very measuredly, not go crazy and always hope for the best, be very patient and only spend what you are allowed to lose, there is no rush, it should not be There will be pressures for the game to be enjoyed.

I think sometimes you end up with an upset of the favorite and that is the most entertaining one to watch. Like lets assume City vs Leeds, and somehow Leeds ends up being 2-0 ahead, we all know that would be upset and you could win, but at the same time if you bet on City, and they make a come back and win 3-2, that is an "upset" as well, because at that point you expect Leeds to keep the 2-0 lead and yet City manages to make a comeback.

I am not talking about an actual example, that didn't happen, but just imagination, because that would be upset as well. I had that a lot, I had big clubs that suppose to win get behind and then comeback and win later on, usually from 1-0 losing to 2-1 winning, that has happened a million times before, that's pretty common.

We're emotive beings, and sometimes, our sentiments obstruct clear thinking. Taming these emotional uprisings is crucial for maintaining financial health.

You propose a limit loss tactic - dedicating a fixed amount to lose and sticking to it. Quite an idea! But isnt this acceptance of defeat even before the cards are dealt? Additionally, you advocate for minimal stakes to lengthen the gambling experience and learn more. A commendable concept, but doesn't it also extend the risk duration?

Shouldnt the mastery of the game and careful stewardship of our earnings lead the way? Yet, we cant overlook the exhilarating potential of a win - the captivating essence of gambling, right?

We all have different opinions and experience in gambling and when we bet because we are not bettings the same game at the same time, there are matches whereby you have the opportunity in winning them through an upset experience but in this case are not what we planned for, it's what we needed to do even though we don't know what may turn the outcome at the end, winning bet through ban upset approach will require perfect timing and luck backing it up.
