Topic: Have You Experienced Winning Bets By Upsets - page 4. (Read 856 times)

Thats how gambling should really be treated up on the first place on which it is really a past time and whatever you would really be tending to do so then its up to you whether you would bet on the favorite or would be going into that underdog. Basing up on real experience then i do have several experiences about those upsets that make me win up and this is only to those bets which arent taken that seriously.
But it did really turn out to be a win which i didnt really expect but honestly it is really a bet which had been applied with some analysis into it and presume or assume out that there would
be some possible comeback.

Well, that might sometimes but it is not always going to work if you are betting on an underdog against a favorite because the favorites are most of the time going to win. On rare occasions, the team that is on the top happens to lose to a team way below their standard and that comes out as a shocker for the world but those who had bets against them become happy.

And that happens in almost every sport, not only in soccer or football. Recently, in a cricket match, the top team lost an easy match against the team that was the last in the points table, so that happens but not very often.

Count me in. I won't deny that gambling has been my idea of past time since then and I've been playing with some card games that involves analyzation with some of my close friends sometimes but most of the time, I'm with sports betting because other than the fact that it's giving me the thrill and entertainment that I wanted, I'm somehow confident as well that my made bets are close from winning because I did some analysis compared if we play in some casual casinos where most of the games are just pure luck, fast money as always and doesn't really give me the thrill while playing.

You are not alone, I don't usually put a big amount on underdog bets. Because when it wins it's almost like a jackpot so there's really no need to risk a higher amount unless you are really decided that a specific player, fighter, or team will win it. Injuries that are not updated yet or the sudden appearance of a player before the ball game could also be a big factor. For instance when the odds are x10 then an injured player decides to play, and it becomes x2-3. Betting early has its perks too.
It's also nice if there's a cash-out button on each gambling site or sports bookie. That way, if we change our mind midway we could pull the bet back and just take whatever profit we made when the team covers the spread. I have done this kind of betting a lot of times, cashing out midway or before the game ends.

I had some bets before like that, but since they were underdogs I only wagered few bucks, the odds were really good but it'll be a huge lost if I placed higher, that's why I decided to play it safe with lowering the risk.
I did these bets maybe only for around 10 matches. The result were even for me, which is better than I expected.

Like me who roots for Cyril Gane when he fought against the baddest Ngannou for $10 hoping to win big I can't tell how many times I did this actually it would sound stupid sometimes that it even occur in my mind to bet for Kevin Holland vs Khamzat all because Khamzat has a bad dude reputation when obviously Kevin is no match.

Draws are also in boxing and combat sports. Bare Knuckle have to extend one round of fight as tie breaker, kind of funny but its how it is.

Many people have experience winning this kind of bet, so we have to play for fun as a means of entertainment. Betting on the underdog pays more. Draw conditions also have a number and this is usually a positive sign as draws are common in soccer. Draws are fairly common in football too so there is a bet for that too. But you can see the full list of both teams with different odds listed. As expected, strikers and forwards have the best odds in this category, but if you know that a certain defender or another unpredictable player can hit the back of the net, you can earn a good amount.

Most times in soccer betting, I intentionally  go against a crowd when making bet and one reason I might decide to switch my bet is if the entire crowd is betting on same team, I might decide to bet against them especially  for some underrated team... And most times betting on underdogs  always comes with great odds and bigger rewards and that's why most people who knows the risk, always enjoy betting in that field .
I've engaged in this type of gambling several  times and I personally  find it more lucrative  but risky and if you master the game, you'll  be glad you did.

today there was a game where people who like to place this type of bets must have managed to get big profits, I'm talking about the bayern game against Leipzig, the odds before the game started were @1.50 for bayern and @4.50 for Leipzig and then bayern scored first and I believe that if my memory serves me correctly the odds were at @1.22 for bayern and more than @13.00 for leipzig, that means that if someone bet on leipzig to win even seeing that bayern was winning the game so this person made a good profit and of course this can't even be considered sports betting anymore, all the person would be doing is playing the lottery, because the person is guessing the result

in my opinion this is not something people should do because there are dozens of games so how are people going to choose which games to do this? Will people risk betting on all games? in terms of long-term profit it is not something viable, I hope that nobody does that, at least if the person loves their money then they won't do that, in today's case I very much doubt that there are many people who have taken the risk of betting on leipzig after bayern scored a goal, i doubt it very much. this is the problem with this type of bet, the person doesn't even know if he can get it right by putting money on the team where he has no chance of winning the game

Today, I bet on the underdog. before we decide to bet, at least we will research it first from all the references I can get. after trying to do an analysis, it's still very difficult to bet on a team that is not the favourite. but in football, we will weigh from all aspects. although to be honest, all of that is just conjecture and speculation. well, referring to what you posted in this thread. in fact, I've had this discussion before. but maybe, this part is also quite interesting. here I just want to emphasize with what you asked in this thread. I will quote him, "what made you bet on the underdog was it an insider tip or just insight based on your analysis?".

For me personally, i rarely refer to available tips or from football experts. because if i refer to their tips, i get no pleasure from my betting. that's why, I always involve insight in my research. for me, this is the art of betting on football regardless of winning or losing. today, I analyzed the Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig match. On paper, Bayern will win this fight. Moreover, the match was held at the Allianz Arena, the headquarters of Die Bayern. with all the considerations that I have done, I took the risk to bet on Leipzig. which in the end, Leipzig won the game. in short, the odds are pretty big. and, I was lucky to make the right decision.

in essence, as a gambler, especially those involved in football. losing and losing is commonplace, and we will not always bet on a team that is always superior.

I understand what you're saying, did Real Madrid not play those games by chance?because Ancelotti used to put his Entire arsenal at the end of the game,which seemed like a rather risky strategy to me and it worked for him, of course, because he is doing that, I think he is losing the League very Badly at the moment, however I am not in favor of someone making bets like that , and although the probabilities may indicate that they are minimal if it is possible that it could Happen, then since everything is possible it is a risk, it would be good if the Bookmakers could have those options, if there are 5 minutes left of a fútbol match they could give that option.

A wise bettor won't always bet on the team he thinks it will win, otherwise he will bet on the favorite one almost every time. The wise bettor will spot a bet with value and will take it, even if he thinks the opposite team is more likely to win. Because no one can predict the future, you can only assess the probabilities of an outcome to happen. For example if you toss a coin, you can't predict with 100% certainty which side of the coin will be drawn, but you can assess that heads have half chances to be drawn, and evaluate if the odds offered for this bet are interesting or not (if they are below 2.0 they aren't).
 

Many of us prefer sports betting because it's known to be more profitable than the casino games. That is due to the fact that we can analyze the players statistics and improve our winning rate. There are people who analyze casino games well but it has no effect as the results are still random.

If you want to make a high amount of profit in a much surer way, why not bet more money in the teams that you think has an advantage to win? Lots of players are choosing this path than risking low amounts for higher odds which can still be money and time consuming. Being very risky is not fun, but being too unpredictable can sometimes make the game exciting especially if you don't mind winning.

In playing gambling, we should not use emotions because it will make us unable to calm down in analyzing and tend to follow our emotions at that time. If you bet on sports betting, you can analyze wrongly and in the end, you will also be wrong in choosing the team or player. And if it is a casino game, you could be wrong in checking the amount of the bet you want and you could make the wrong bet. It has happened to many people and they have suffered losses.

We can only learn from experience and try not to repeat it. But even if we make another mistake, that doesn't mean we don't learn because this time's mistake is different from the previous one so we can learn more.

Many times. Reasons for betting for them: Desperation games, they are calmer than the other team because they have nothing to lose, injuries that was reported unclear especially if it is a star that will be available or not.
Mostly in boxing games and basketball games like the European league and in the lower cards of boxing. I think multiplied by 18 was my highest in just one bet and I just risked it because there's really no profit betting for the favorite, their opponent. Luckily, I won it and all the winnings from it went to beers and groceries for the wife.

It's really a wrong move to put your emotions the moment you start gambling. Emotions usually cloud our judgment and our decision making skills. Hence, it's best to put and let your brain take over you rather than following your heart's irrational desire to bet on your favorite team or player over the most substantial bet. But just take it as a lesson learned for you so that you won't make the same mistake again. It's okay to test the waters and just follow what's best the next time around for your advantage. At least now, you knew that it will cost you if you will be foolish in deciding.

I see this all of the time whether it's betting games (picking odds/covering spreads whatever) or whether it's playing fantasy football, people LOVE to bet on the teams that they, well..love.  The worst thing a gambler can do is bet ( and I include fantasy football in the betting conversation) with their heart and not their head.  It's the easiest way to lose money.  I made this mistake betting on the Cubs/Bulls/Bears as well as going out of my way to pick guys from these teams in fantasy...and got burnt enough times to learn from this common mistake.

So far I've had the privilege of settling bets like this three times in European football championships.

But that was only possible because I like to place these bets quite frequently, and consequently, when I do, it's always risking a low amount, so the return ends up not being very significant.

The reason I made these bets? Most of the time it's pure randomness, and sometimes it's personal favoritism that I have in a specific club, that is... it was never a technical analysis.

A lot of gamblers would always see a light in sport betting because it gives us the wide options to choose whatever team or player we would like to bet on without any form of manipulation. Sport bets is the kind of bet where the casino which is the house would not have huge advantage on the players because the results are always live and can not be manipulated because it is universal. I have made some few profits from bet I made and I thought it was a big mistake of my life but to my surprise, I realized that I finally won the game that almost made me to think that I could never win the game.

You could really be able to choose up basing on the situations.

Odds gaps arent that too much
Odd gaps that having that huge gaps

You could really think off that if its a close match then widespread isnt really that big, unlike if its a one sided game then you do know
that betting on underdogs could really be giving that good return and profits of your small bets which it is really that tempting in doing so, but we cant really remove into our minds that
we do always love to stick out into those favorite or money line which is understandable. Basing up on experience i had tested out on betting on those underdogs and eventually
won just because of some nasty comeback. Its a huge upset and lots had been shocked on the outcome which its a common reaction by the masses or fans.
