If I would have to bet against the public every time, I would have do the strategy.

However, knowing where the public money is going is a hard job so even though we thought we are betting against the public, sometimes we could be wrong as sometimes sharp money is on the other side why the line has move.

Only experience sports bettors would understand that, capping based on the line or the stats is not effective anymore based on my experience, what I notice is more effective is the psychological betting where you think like a bookies because they are right most of the time.

Unfortunately, particularly in the world of sports predictions, the majority are often right.
No doubt the majority few times getting it wrong in the out come of a bet where the odd difference is very much, but what I was driving at is that we can also depend on our own sense of judgement in games since we the one staking if we should take responsibility for any outcome the game brings

I think I have a... what do they call it... "compulsion"? with going against the majority.
When I see a lot of people doing something, even if it's something I would have chosen as well I'll do something different.

For example I'm the guy who chooses the least played class in MMORPGs, the least played role in Overwatch, the non-meta combinations in different games etc.
Even though I don't gambling-bet, I imagine I would be going for the minority there as well! Cheesy
You can apply it on other industries like e-games but that wont surely work here on gambling world.Go against with the majority will really give that
high percentage of loss,we have seen some underdog wins but not most of the time.If you do really have that kind of traditional minority choices then
try it up with gambling and you would see for yourself about their differences when it comes to succession.

nice . i think im the same as you because on games i tend to play heroes that are not popular and on other things i also love to do what others are not doing but on betting i dont go against the majority because  betting is different on other stuffs that i do which are usually free or dont involve money  . in betting our money is at stake so we need to pick carefully  . if what others are picking  , i will believe them because they are more experience than me .

Unfortunately, particularly in the world of sports predictions, the majority are often right. Similarly, if you look at sportsbetting platforms, they all tend to have the same or at least similar odds for their games, since they all use the same set of parameters or source for their predictions.

However, you do get some particularly skilled people that are able to spot discrepencies in the odds, where one team or player has not been given the due credit they deserve and has had the odds incorrectly stacked against them. Sadly, I'm not one of these players, as I tend to settle for small, low odds gains.

Last time I won when going against the majority was on the Wilder/Fury fight, I bet on a draw in the 11th round.

I don't do this often, that's going against majority as I'm the playing it safe type. Hardly before you see me taking the risk of betting on high odds. The number of times I have gone against majority bet is very countable and when I do the risk amount usually isn't that much but the playing along bets which are my favorite are uncountable.

If the chance of winning will come from the majority, then we don't have to against them because that will not give any benefits to us. We want to win, but we should look at the situations around us so we can decide what to choose. That happens many times in the local gambling because there are so many people who have good skills in the games so they can calculate with good so they can get a higher percentage to win the games.

But sometimes, they can not always have a high chance to win, and we can have that chance, so it is okay to against the majority, but once again, we need to look at the current situations. We can play safe as you say and that is what we need to do if we don't want to against them.

Sport betting is strange when it wants to be, it never a sure fact the impossibility can turn possible.
When booking a bet many bets on what the majority had placed before hand.
What am I saying betting site releases games for betting and gives an option where you see what others has selected and very often it's the one with the lower odd that  people place bet on.

Last week Saturday was a Turing point for me as I refused to bet with majority(31-8-2019) and placed a draw on the match between osasuna and FC Barcelona. Most people would see it as an unwise decision but that's soccer the foolish thing can turn out to be wise.

How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank
I am not an expert when it comes to sports betting but I go against the majority when I think the odds given by the casino are incorrect, for example during the previous NFL post-season the Patriots faced the Chiefs and the Chiefs were the favourites for 3 points, I disagreed with that since in my mind the Patriots should win that game and I placed a small bet in their favour, I turned out to be right and won a small amount of money, but finding situations like that is difficult unless you are an expert on a particular sport.

Its always better to apply knowledge for anything either its betting or trading. Yeah its true that in sports everyone wants to set their bet against weak team and it should be. But you can't be 100% sure where its quite common to observe unexpected win from he weakest side too. Specially for football matches i have seen couple of things like that where team with majority support lose badly.

I am a die hard fan of FC Barcelona but sometimes their match result put me on early sleep when i see the final result Barcelona 0 - Osasuna 3. So there is no way to deny that going with majority doesn't work properly for every time.

I remember of a match between Afghanistan and South Africa where the odds for Afghanistan were very low because they were winning and South Africa wanted a lot of runs in very less balls. I went to bet against Afghanistan and gone for South Africa and odds were more than 10x. It was the most enigmatic match between these two and I couldn't believe I won the bet because South Africa managed to beat the score and win a 90% lost match with a 10% chance.

Based on my experience, Usually majority is on the favourites side and frankly these aren't my type of games as the price factor is ALWAYS low as compared to the high risk involved.

Am afraid am that stubborn punter that will always go against the majority and at times this has been handsomely rewarding but lack of consistency is my enemy of progress.

I have tried it sometimes in sport betting to go against the majority of other bettors and while I have done so I have always lost.I don't know if it was bad luck or my missing experience in gambling but I think that most of the people who go against the majority lose most of the time.
It’s like the balancing of the apps that made it hard for us to stand against majority since this is online betting but in some cases in Real life bets going against majority gives us fair judgement

I have done this in past when we are betting for basketball game NBA when all of my friends are betting for the home court team and I am the only one who’s on the opponent.but in the end?i won against all of them and I go home laughing so good for that unforgettable moments

Well, many times when it comes to gambling like playing poker. I think it is a very big achievement for me that I defeated all the players and win all the cash in the table. Also, when it comes to trading most people choose to invest in more profitable even in it is very risky unlike me because I invest in not so much profitable but has a high percentage of earning so, in the long run, they will all lose, just like that. Indeed, I did not in favor of against the majority because sometimes those team who was trend will survive.

With sports betting as well other forms of gambling, we used to experience unexpected results. This way I've experienced several wins standing against the crowd. One of the match that always remembered is a women's tennis match where I selected the odd 10.1 after the first set got over. To my luck I won the bet and won $91 worth bitcoin.

It's very tempting to do that imagine the prize you are going to win if you win the game or the match, although seldom it happens like the Joshua Ruiz Match if you know boxing, and good at analysis, Joshua for you will be your huge favorite to win, but upsets do happen and those who can and like to see upsets will definitely bid for the underdog.
Actually missed that one yet ive been betting together with the crowd plus adding up your own analysis which we know that joshua do really have the edge. Lucky for those who threw some dollars with Ruiz. Upsets can really happen anytime and for those who risk on the other side will have some nasty wins. Im not that much kind of bettor who bets on underdogs.

Who would want to bet on an underdog chance of winning is slim but worth it if you try to bet on your luck, popular sports that have a lot of underdog in big events is boxing for me, again in the coming match Ruiz is the underdog but this is the underdog that I want to bet, so on their next match I think I will go against the majority.
For their rematch I wont see a reason why wont Joshua would allow that kind of upset match.I will not bet against with it yet its been clear

that he would able to be victorious on their upcoming rematch.For now its hard to believe that there would be a 2nd win for ruiz.

It's very difficult to predict a game that'll end in a draw, but since it entails the same risk as choosing any other outcome, I do go for it every now and then, and not to forget there are some games that traditionally most times end in a draw
I bet on draws as well but usually I bet on double chance 1X or X2. For some reason a straight up draw is not something I dare to bet on. I am sure many people will agree and bookmakers know this. That is what the odds for draws are usually very high in the 3-4 region or above that.

betting on the ball is quite difficult, many surprises occur therein. many small teams are able to frustrate large teams because the strategies implemented can be balanced, even defeated. I don't win bets often because I'm often hit by surprises that I don't even think can happen.
Yes you absolutely correct placing a bet on soccer make come out not as direct as anyone initially thought. Upset is like a fibre in the anatomy of sport betting, but their are some pointer you could look into before the match. I usually check which player is down with injury how is the starting eleven like and what formation, take for example the osasuna vs FC Barcelona I played I checked the starting squad and top players where missing(that shouldn't be an excuse for Barcelona) but the coach on his own is not playing some player in their right role(example de jong) the squad is talented but need more tactical formation, I do take advantage of those lapses from top teams.

I've gone against the majority many times because the payout would be much better, but unfortunately, I have lost almost every single time.
