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.

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.

How about the Barcelona and osasuna match? Did it end up a draw or is yet to be played?

Well, the majority always tend to be accurate especially if the majority is made of mostly experienced sports fans.
Sometimes the minority could be right aswell but its rarely the case especially if it is based purely on guess and not experience or knowledge.

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.

Sometimes for fun I bet together with a friend. Does anyone do that? We both pick 2-3 matches and invest the same amount. In case of a win we divide the profits equally.

I often do this with my best pal, and we usually pick very tricky games with big odds, we do this to increase our stake and hence our potential winning, I normally enjoy this sort of bets, as its interactive and fun between my friend and i, we most times throw jibes at the one who suggested the game that did not play out to our prediction Grin

Quote from: Pmalek on September 08, 2019, 08:43:16 AM

I don't know if it is a psychological thing but I rarely bet on draws.

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

Hats off to you OP for playing X on the Osasuna vs Barca match..

That's a typical example of betting against the crowd and that's the point , who would have thought that. Such bets come with good odds so that if it goes your way, you profit more than betting few odds that might still fail

Honestly I rarely base my betting on the given odds be it small or big odds so I don't take into consideration what the majority thinks. But I understand what you mean. Sometimes for fun I bet together with a friend. Does anyone do that? We both pick 2-3 matches and invest the same amount. In case of a win we divide the profits equally. Sometimes my friend chooses a match based on the odds saying it is a 'good opportunity' or 'they have to win' which makes me a bit mad.

A lot of the time, actually. I mostly bet on esports matches, especially CS:GO matches, and there are often times when the odds are just too good to pass up for the underdog, and there are also plenty of massive upsets in CS:GO, whether it's in the major or minor or in other tournaments both small and big. I still mostly bet on the overdog, though, because that's what my analysis usually tells me, but there are times when the r/r is great for a small bet on the underdog.

I usually don't bet as people have done by looking at the bets placed already, no I don't do that. I bet as I have researched.

The point to this for me is that, I rely on my research. Again, I follow my conscience, the third and very important to me because it has paid me severally, is the odd lol Shocked

If the odd is very enticing against the favoured to win team, I take my luck against them if the odd for the lesser team is very high.
Take example , a big team is given 1.20 to win and the small team has like 10 odds and above , sometimes to 35 odds... I put my money on the odd not the team lol. I win sometimes too with such bets.

It's very tempting to go against the majority, although the risk is too high, I seldom do this I think if I remember doing this only five times in a local basketball match, the outcome is not good, the winners are the expected winners, I love to bet where each player are match in every aspects.

I'm a safe player and not really going for a risk, there are two times that I go against the majority that was the Pacquiao and Horn I fight, I really want Pacquiao to win the match but the attraction and the rewards my friends offer me to bet against Pacquiao is huge that I make a call for it, glad that I did even though it's hard for me to see Manny losing by Horn's dirty tactics.

Even if you go for a team which majority of people has selected, it is still a risk. Nothing is safe in gambling. I do prefer that i also select a more safer choice but sometimes its worth taking a risk. You never know that your risk may pay off and you will earn big amount if you bet on the team which is not so popular.

You mean to say that how many times I bet against the less favorite team ? I have tried it few times but most of the time I have lost. Although the benefit of choosing the less favorite team is that you get good odds. Even you can win 60 - 70% incase an upset happens and your teams win. But if everything goes as per normal, you will lose the gamble and all your money.

I always go into the majority so that if I lose I don't feel bad about myself because

you should follow your heart when it comes to betting and not following others decision so that if you loose atleast you feel contented but going against majority can be verry risky . in my case i only follow the majority even if im more familliar with the team that has lesser votes because it did work for me before but there are times that the majority picks are loosing . this only tells us that luck still matter the most and not just pure instincs .

In gambling you can only tell a pick is wise of fool after the result of your bet. A sure win type market with an odd even with 1.01 can go wrong and opponent can win from there.

Against the majority is not stupid choice or suicide mission, gambling is not only about luck, but dare to see a small chance to win.
and gamblers who dare to take a small opportunity, that's a gambler who is brave and who will receive huge profits.

I always go into the majority so that if I lose I don't feel bad about myself because there are some who loses to that's a weird mindset but it helps me a lot to cope with I loses, but if I know that the other bets are gonna win I trust myself and bet with my bets. in betting all we need is attitude and trust in ourselves.

Seriously 90% of the time I go against the bet where more people betting on it because I believe when it involves sport betting the great manipulator wants the best team to lose then only they can make more money.

If you make a good timing and you did follow the fixers bet then it will give you a lots of profits, betting against the favorite's always accompanied by a big risk it's needed to have a big nerve to bet from what you believe although it's a gambling activities so everything will be depends on how lucky will you be waiting for the games to finished.

When something is manipulated we just can't rely on our luck to win the game,we need to think out of the box and bet against even if we are betting against our favourite team because the reason of bet is to win the bet.

I'm not a regular bettor of sports betting or any form of gambling that can against the majority but for me, I think the safest way is to ride the wave of those people who choose a good team. Probably if you know better the team in every match then you can against them but sometimes majority win so, therefore, choose the safest method of picking a team to bet. Know very well the team and the chances of winning they had don't also rely on the majority pick.
