The first priority for anyone looking for valid and trusted information regarding a sport they like is to follow news handles on social media platforms and the official accounts of the teams and players as well because these channels will never share fake or falsified information and you will always get up to date data and information about the teams, the games they will be playing, any injuries, any squad changes, or whatever you can think of.
After that, the trusted sources to get information from are probably the websites of official channels that broadcast those matches or the news channels that cover the matches and provide correct information and updates, one such channel is ESPN and which also have a website that one can follow for updates and news.
That's what a bettor in sports betting must do to avoid fake news circulating on social media or sports websites. We can also find it difficult to get valid information and can choose the wrong team. When you can find a site that provides valid information, you don't need to look for other sites or keep looking to find other valid sites to have more information.
Having an official channel site that contains valid information about sports will give us the opportunity to be able to analyze better so that we can place bets on teams that have a chance to win. That said, we can't rely on that information because there must be times when the opposing team can turn things around and if that happens, the information won't be valid because the circumstances change.
There is enough information on platforms like YouTube and anyone who knows how to search a topic very well on YouTube or Google then that user will get all the available knowledge. However, I agree with you that relying on the information one gathers from Google isn't always correct and it's better to read more sources of information to learn the concepts better.
I mostly search the information on Google, and from Google search I visit all those sites that are sharing the same information in depth. That way I understand the topics very well, and once I have enough knowledge about a topic then I can write about that topics without any trouble. I'm quite sure that for some good information we can rely on news sites because trusted news sites often publish high quality news articles that are almost accurate.
It's always better to master a topic or a sport first by reading as much available material as you possibly can, and once you have enough information about that field or sport then and only then you should bet on that game in order to be safe from huge losses. Sometimes users just blindly bet on sports which they aren't well aware about, and they end up losing the bets.
Searching for information from Youtube can be done, but we still have to be careful because we don't know the influencer is purpose. That's why we must have other information sites to compare all the information to find the right information. It's not easy, but that's what we have to do to increase the chances of winning and the bettors out there are also doing the same thing as us, so we have to be more active in looking for it.
And don't immediately believe if one site provides information because we must compare it with other sites to find the truth. And if we really can't get information about a match, we don't need to place a bet because the risk of losing will be greater.
