Usually people in sportsbetting game, us their analysis first before they make bet. And a lot of people must be have same choice because of that. Maybe about bet againts majority is something that rarely happen, and like what you said it can happen and make someone win when they get luck.

I think it is not that rare.

There are a lot of gamblers that usually go against the majority.

When you really support the team and they are not the team that is favorable to win, they still bet on it. I think the thing that rarely happens is that team winning since usually, the majority wins. It happens and I did go against majority one time and that did not go well, kinda expecting it though so no hard feelings.

A big mistake? I don't think so. A big mistake is thinking that something is definitely going to ha=ppen. Actually, many people lose big money exactly because of such way of thinking. They bet $1,000 on a team that, according to the majority of bettors, should win the game, being absolutely confident that after the game they will be $100 richer(1.1x multiplier), and lose $1,000 because of bad luck. Haven't you read such stories on this very forum? I've read tons of them.

If the vast majority were always right, anyone with $1,000 could stop working and start living off sports betting alone. But the reality is that you are very likely to lose at least one bet within 10 bets with 1.1x payout, and thus your overall profit will be slightly negative.

Correct. And the house-edge is always there. If 10 people will bet $1,000 each at 1.1 and no one bet on the opposing team, there is a high tendency that the 11th bettor onwards won't be receiving a 1.1 odds. The odds will change from 1.1 to 1.09 or even lower.

~ Going against the crowd or, in other words, betting on something that is very unlikely to happen, has nothing to do with the amount of money someone can afford to lose. In many cases people lose more when they go with the crowd, because the payout of such bets is small, and in order to win $10 you have to wager over $50, and in the case of bad luck you lose your $50. While if someone aiming to win $10 going against the majority, he/she can risk something around $2, and either lose it or win $10 in case of good luck.

I think going against crowd is not a big deal if you have a good observation of the scenario on which you are going to put a bet. But if the case is opposite and you don’t know anything about the case and just by believing on your luck, you make a bet, I think that would be a big mistake from your side because sometimes there are things that are cocksure that they will happen and without thinking and putting bet can never change those things.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

There were plenty of times and even today I make my decisions based on my own intuition and thoughts. I don't base them on what the "majority thinks". After all we are all humans and we are prone to the same mistakes. More people thinking the same thing doesn't mean that they are not wrong. Do your own match preparing, look at statistics and form and compare the odds. This way you will be able to come with the best decision for yourself.

How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank

I have gone against the crowd so many times but I seldom smiled to the bank for doing so, there is a high risk if you continue doing this, you'll going to do this only if you have a lot of funds to spare, if you don't have, you are going to lose a lot.
the temptation is always there and if it is well calculated and you are sure, then try your luck it could be your lucky day.

There's a movie about that, the movie name is "The Big Short", But it is not about gambling it's about going against the crowd(in Trading) it is a real life story that they short one of the most stable stock in that time, And yes, they win! they go against the crowd and many people are laughing about what they are doing but in the end they win. When it comes to gambling you can go against the crowd and just prove them wrong when you win that game!
I go against the crowd many times but I am always losing haha, But yeah, as long as it's fun it's all good for me

very rarely against the majority because the risk is very large, in certain matches for example many people who like a team that is known to always be able to win a match or it can be said that the team has never been defeated, but when meeting an ordinary team of course most people will be more choose the most favored team.

But all games have a upside down,specially in team sports when the function of each other’s is very important and sometimes it’s go the other way in which brings the majority lose
But you are right mostly the more believers is the one who always win,maybe it attracts positive and luck for the said team or player?

Majority of the people are following experts in the game and the team they predict to win the game is usually supported by those gamblers who do not have critical knowledge of the particular game or team. This often happens that majority pulls luck for the team they are supporting but as we all know that even luck does not work for you always.

But there are also people who do not like going with the flow and follow their intuitions and I am in favor of this. There are chances where even the team supported by majority loses the game and unbelievably less supported wins the game. I believe in supporting the team which appears to me strong enough to win the game.

I personally don't believe people to choose where team i bet. I will try to analyze it by myself, because you know if you lose, your money will go away.
That is fun if you lose or win because your prediction.
I think maybe majority only see website who give soccer prediction without knowing too much with the team player.

Same is my strategy about sport betting. One shall never ever follow blindly majority because most of them are depending upon luck or emotions. Those who are following logics or have done proper market analysis are damn less in number and they are ones who often win bets. Those who go against the flow always learn something or get something invaluable.

Yeah actually that's what gamblers should do but most of gamblers here just want to profit so they are looking for things that can generate profits faster without having to analyze it. I myself do not agree with that, because when we depend on others, we will not get anything other than money and that does not guarantee profit either.

Just look at this forum, many offer predictor services or trade groups. This proves there are still many people who just want to profit alone without having any experience.

Nice. I think only small people will believe their brain to predict by themself.
But do you know?
Offering predictor services is also profitable.
Sometimes my friend ask me to predict what team will win, also they need some detail about score.
I predict it then ask about pay first. So they pay first then bet on the team i predict, often win, but if lose only they lost but not for me. With that service i can make around $100 profit atleast in the first without gamble. Lol Cheesy

How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank

Many times actually. This is my preferable way of betting, going against the crowd. Of course I lose most of the time, but when I win, it feels so good. What's the point of betting with 1.1x payout, if I there for the fun, not for the money? What's the fun in winning with 1.1x payout?

We have same thing I mind mate because the feeling is more than a winner when you come to beat many of them and you seems to be the only opposition.
Yeah we have been losing many times but it doesn’t matter because what’s important is our goal to take the small chance and besides the winning is mostly much higher than the majority of you are always in against of them.i know the only few of us uses this when betting but I’m proud that I’m doing this for fun

Exactly. I think the win chance someone is betting with can serve as a benchmark for identifying whether he/she is playing for fun or not. Those who want to make money with gambling usually bet with a big win chance, but since the payout for such bets is small they end up with negative profit in the end of the day. Not all of them, but most of them anyway. Because with this strategy it's enough to lose just one out of 10 bets to wipe out all your profits from the 9 winning bets. People who play for fun, on the other hand, make bets with very small win chance. They know that the chance of winning is tiny, so they accept the loss beforehand. If they lose they are okay with that. But if they win, they really enjoy the fun.

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 rarely gone against majority, especially in sports betting because when i am betting with the majority i feel like i will gonna win that i lot of people knows that they have the advantage if they vote to the certain team or player, unlike when i gone against the majority i have a feeling that i will lose because the majority thinks that it does not have any advantage at all.

couple of times i guess?because i usually go with the group of friends if whats their choice then i will ride with them,but the most unforgettable in 2017 July 2.

this is the match awaited fight of younger fighter Jeff Horn against our very own Manny Pacquiao when it turns out that all of them are betting with Manny and theres a little amount left for Manny's side when in Jeff has plenty so what i did is secretly bet for Pacquiao's opponent and luckily?i won over them and it is atleast 400$ that time Grin

I can only imagine how much you really felt on that day brother, it must be amazing. Keeping the records with date makes it really memorable game for you. It's not easy to take such risk and I believe you only got rewarded for being a risk taker lol, it really pays to take risk sometimes and that is what makes us a man.

I wish to be among those who take this kind of risk someday but for now I have never. I just fear to lose the little money I have and I always tell myself it's safer to lose along with majority than to lose alone. I don't think I have regrets doing this but most times when I read the success story of those who have stayed alone, I wish I can also share mine that way.

No matter how much I win, it will end in gambling again. I will get a lot of big losses when it is my ambition to win more out of control. very misleading indeed if we are just an emotional person and must gamble. surely we will be difficult to control ourselves so we can stop playing

Yes once you gonna be addicted in gamble you can very hard to stop it. So its better to control your self to not enter the gambling site so that you will not be lost.
Its difficult to stop gambling once you gonna be addicted into into it. And i tried also to bet and never win so i stop it.

This is suggested to go for the team in gambling who has great history of winning games. This is stupidity that you choose a team just on the basis of illogical preferences such as your favorite player is in that team or your crush is supporting it etc. you even not follow majority, you should must follow logical preferences in order to increase chances of winning.
