No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small

Quote from: Plaguedeath on May 05, 2023, 08:14:28 AM

I think almost all gamblers should have at least win once time by betting an underdog team or player.

I think the combination of insider tips and my own analysis is the reason why I get convinced to bet on an underdog team. But I never win a heavy underdog player or team because I not really comfortable to bet. It's like Nottingham Forrest vs Manchester City and the match played in Stadion Etihad, which is looks very impossible for Notthingham Forrest to win.

Betting in an underdog is more risky since there are more winning expectations from betting into favorite. That’s why it’s seldom to see bettors favoring the underdog. However, there are also instances where underdog becomes the favorite in the end, which means the least expected to win had won the hearts of the audience because of his skills in the game. But to be honest, I never won mostly from betting in an underdog, I only gained losses most of the time. And maybe insider tips have also influenced me on my decision on where to bet.

if we all thought the same way, there would be no horse racing

the best way to monetize these bets... is to use the betting exchange and follow the live matches. maybe you don't take home the maximum jackpot but you still manage to achieve an excellent result every time.

E.G with a practical example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KteAuuGtI3k
some years ago I placed a bet on new zealand to win against italy. They scored 1 goal. At this point I have just "sold" the odds after their goal. Final result 1-1 but I still had a very good profit.

This is not the kind of method I would prefer. I would rather not bet than make such a choice. However, I once bet on the wrong team and won money. I don't remember the teams as it was an event that happened a long time ago, but instead of my favorite team, I accidentally bet on the team I thought would lose the match. I regretted my mistake for a few days, but luck smiled on me and I made money thanks to my mistake. Still, I wouldn't try something like this. I don't think it's rational.

Upsets are rare and profitable and not everyone has the courage to take a risk and bet on the underdogs, but those who do are rewarded with huge profits.

So I'd like to ask

Have you bet on the underdogs and won?

How many times you did this?

And what made you bet on the underdogs is it because of insider tips or just an insight based on your analysis?

Your level of risk when betting for underdogs in the hope of winning by upsets?

I've experienced such winning one time since I started gambling, that is betting for the team majority of other bettors believe will lost the match only for that team to end up winning.
My bet on this was on last year's world cup tournament ..
The first was that I lost my bet on Argentina vs Saudi Arabia which was one of the biggest upset all through out the 2022 world cup, as no one believed that Saudi Arabia could beat Argentina.

Another upset which I won was Morocco vs Portugal(if I still remember correctly), according to the odds, majority thought Morocco would loose the match, but surprisingly, they end up winning and luckily for me, my bet was on Morocco, I won a significant amount of money with a very little Bet, since the odds was high.

Never have I ever won a bet, weather being upset or in any other state of mind. Betting is not for me Cry

You have to try again and don't give up just because you can't get a win. Let's say you're betting for a win, so losing won't feel like it will hit you.
Start with small things to have more experience so you can make predictions or play well, then luck can come easily when you risk money to play or bet.
At first we were all like you where it was difficult to get a win but from time to time we can learn and take advantage of the opportunities that you can bet and win.

^Did you remember the one notable fight where an underdog opponent defeated Manny Pacquiao was his match against Juan Manuel Marquez on December 8, 2012? As I remember that time I lose but my brother win because he places a bet on the underdog.
In their fourth encounter, Marquez was considered the underdog with the odds stacked against him. However, Marquez surprised everyone by knocking out Pacquiao in the sixth round, thereby winning the fight and shocking the boxing world who watched that match. This victory by Marquez is considered one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, and it highlights the unpredictability of the sport and the potential for underdogs to come out on top.

Really interesting thread mate, and yes I have bet on underdog before if it also implies to virtual soccer games and yes again I bet on them when am feeling that I have lost everything and I decide to flip in my whole remaining cash so I just relief myself of the pains of take more time to lose and it eventually works well for but not all the time though but I can remember one or more times that I have done this and it worked out.
I placed a bet on an odd of 21.00 against a 1.11 odd and they won for me but I guess it was my lucky try because most times trying i also get bad results.

LoL yeah. At first, I thought he was talking about winning when we are in a bad mood or upset but the upset that he was talking about here is different. It was betting in underdog. Didn't knew that yet but thanks for the info @OP. It still implies in virtual soccer or any game as long as there are two teams or players that are fighting against each other.

What you did there is right. We should not prioritize betting on under dogs because most of the times they are losing. The only time that they can win is when they get lucky that their opponent got bad luck and lose the game unexpectedly. The feeling is great once we know that our bets won in under dog but again, we must not get carried away.

It seems worth placing your bet in underdog if you are really rooting for the athlete or team.
Just like for example in boxing, if you are very familiar with the boxer and your instincts is saying he will win, you will bet on him even if he is the underdog.
And upsets do happen also in boxing. The performance depends on the preparation of the boxer himself, not only his experience.
This is why for me, a lot of times upset do happen in boxing. And I've won several times on this sports.
The good thing about placing your bets in underdog is that the odds are high, so once you hit it, your money just got doubled, tripled or more.

1. Based up on my experience then i had made up some bet on underdogs but one thing is that notable on which it is really on esports betting on Dota 2.
2. Cant remember the exact numbers but this one would be more than 10 bets on choosing up underdogs.
3. Some gut feeling, intuition and of course there's some analysis but most of the time this would be pertaining about guts.
4. Not putting up that much unless if i did have that confidence that there's some upset, if i do see that there's a huge chance then bet amount would really be depending
on that particular moment.

When it comes to upsets then im not really that expecting that much because there's always a chance that i could really see that it might happen but most of them do flop out but well
i did expect about on the risks because going against the favorites or moneyline is really just that not ideal, this is why its your take about on
betting with those underdogs.

I see placing bets on underdogs as a recovering route when it seems hope's are lost for me and on most cases, it thus seems to be effective for me.
I love this your thread and I can't even remember placing bets on underdogs in a normal srate of mind and it seems the option of placing bets on them comes after the losses have already been incurred.

Underdogs are most times very risk and I barely place bets above 2.5 and most times this strategy helps and I also don't consider statistics while placing bets on underdogs but rather my instincts.

I seldom do sports betting, if ever I do, it is when my extra fund align with a sports I wanted to watch such as boxing. I often bet to my fellow countryman no matter he is a heavy underdog or not. With such an attitude I experience winning a bet on the underdogs.

It is a seldom thing to happen. Only a few, I can't remember the right numbers but I am sure it is way less than my losses.

I bet for him because he is my fellow countryman.

Sky is the limit, lol. You see I am betting not because of inside tips or any analysis. I bet to show support my fellow countryment so the level of risk there is surely high but I don't mind since I only bet what I can afford to lose anyway.

I always place bet on underdog but not that underdog with astronomical odds on their side. Underdog as in 2.1 to. 2.5 range which makes me win regularly.

I only bet on underdog that I know that have a real potential of winning despite the stats is against them. Bookmaker sometimes didn’t consider the return of injured star player or the recent trade effectivity because they based their bets on the team stats.

I rarely bet on underdog with odds above 3.0 because that’s high level risk. 2.0 to 2.5% is the only risk I can tolerate when betting.

Have you bet on the underdogs and won?

I've placed countless underdog bets and probably won only 1/10 of all the bets or even less because I frequently switch to different sports and it shifts the way I view underdogs.

My reason for betting on the underdogs can differ, there are times when i'd rely on my gut feeling or just bet on it because they have the better odds. And sometimes i'll be sold on the reasoning of others if i'm not that updated on a certain sport or league.

I'd always put small bets on underdogs since I rarely see the need to increase the risk as i'm already getting good odds on them.

Is it possible to profit by backing long shots? Absolutely my vibe! I am the master of betting on the underdog, so have faith in me. You name it, and I've probably wagered on it, from flag football on playgrounds to the Super Bowl on the biggest of stages. You may be wondering, "How often have I rolled the dice?" Let's pretend the figure has disappeared into thin air. However, the thrill and the willingness to take risks are what really matter, right? Gambling on underdogs is a great way to keep yourself alert.

You may wonder, "Why do I do it?" I'm just a wild card who enjoys the unexpected and shuns convention. Professional insight and evaluation? Who cares about them anyway? I put complete faith in my gut.

I place small bets on underdogs occasionally, but tend to lose them. The most recent successful underdog bet I remember winning was almost a year ago, when I bet on Ukraine in a football match of Scotland vs Ukraine (FIFA play-off semi-final). Scotland was expected to win, then a draw was the second option, and the odds for Ukraine were 3.45. So it's nothing huge, but still an underdog. I won that bet and was really happy, but that was neither based on insider tips nor on personal analysis. I just wanted to bet on my country as a way of supporting it, so to speak. And it paid off.
But most of the time I just bet on the likeliest winner with the odds around 1.5, so I don't have enough experience with underdog bets and how successful they are or aren't for me.

I have bet a couple of times and I have won them,lately I got a win which I have posted in some thread here with over 22 odds that I won it and in there were two upsets.I will only stop at one which was Clermont from Ligue 1 playing against a team in a much better position and the odd of Clermont was near 4 (not a big one but a good one for me) and the reason I choose it was not because of an inside tip,it was because of me watching the stats and Clermont had 5 consecutive wins and this win was the 6th,I know many people would have refrained to bet on them but sometimes you just have to read the data to be a great bettor.

I rarely do this as rarely I see data wrong from the bookies,most of the time they have better insights than me.

Any Dota player would probably know about OG's Cinderella story back in TI8 (which was my most remembered underdog bet). I was one of the few who doubted them at first, but heck, I went yolo and bet on them to win in the finals, and boy, was it hype, both the matches themselves and the result of my win. The funny thing is it wasn't even based on insights or insider tips, it was just because I wanted to root the hell out of the underdog after making it to the finals after all the ups and downs they've had, both before and during the TI.

After that, I often took the time to watch match upsets on tournaments I want to bet in, and try to get a story out of any underdog that I can find. I actually throw away caution in those cases and just bet on them if the story I found (and probably assumed) was enough to touch me, after all, I'm still waiting for another instance of that OG TI8.

I have never participated in a wager with the underdogs. I mostly use sports side for betting. I bet with a small amount of valence on sports sites. I have a friend who bets with the underdogs. He bets with the underdogs but has never won a big bet. That friend of mine told me many times but I didn't agree with him. Because I know I won't be so lucky. But I'm always happy with small wins.

Because I have a strong belief in the potential of that athlete, I had previously placed a wager on an underdog. Even though I had heard a lot of predictions that the fighter I had bet on might lose during that time, it was one of the most anticipated boxing events ever, so I took the chance. I didn't place a very large wager because I had some reservations, but to my amazement, it has paid off. I have tried the same thing once more without success. I believe that occasionally taking a bigger risk will be acceptable, but it won't always pan out, and there will also be instances where we must pay attention to the prognoses of sports analysts.

I'm glad it worked out on you on some instances. Betting on the underdog is a risk especially if there is a huge favor on the side of the very well-known and reputable opponent in terms of odds. But sometimes, it's worth the shot to risk on uncertain situations especially if you really believe the capabilities of the underdog you are planning to bet on. After all, it's not always the one in the spotlight wins. Some players become complacent on their skills and thus, do not train enough resulting to lack of preparing ahead that could cost the fight. If the you know that the other player is complacent while the underdog is determined and has continuously shows potential, then perhaps trying to bet on him won't be so bad. Just do proper analysis and of course, bet responsibly.

I guess bettors who have been doing their thing for quite a while already have already won upset bets. That's normal. We don't bet on favorites all the time, after all. I can't remember how many times I have already won by upsets.

The last time I placed a bet on a heavy underdog, though, was on DOTA II. I placed a bet on T1. I forgot who they're up against but they've already lost on their first match. That was a TI qualifier game or a major, if I'm not mistaken. The odds was north of 7.0. That was a live bet and I made it because I was watching the picks and I was convinced that with their heroes T1 could have a very good chance.
