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.

This is what we called peer pressure, we join the majority because of the mindset that they know what is right since they outnumbered you, but yes, most of the time it is right, so you win if you always favor to the majority, but sometimes it don't, gambling logic is very random and edgy making it hard to predict, are you going to win or is it the other way around, you'll have a blurry mind then the next thing you knew, you lost.
I believe it’s Fear Pressure 

Favoring majority doesn’t necessarily mean of winning always because there are instances that the minority’s taking place and that’s the bad reality from the major expectations
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.
It’s your own choice and nothing can stop you from doing that anyway we must be responsible for our bets and choosing majority is only advantage but the game will decide who’s to win

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

Basically, our mindset is like, what the majority does, so as us will. But going opposite with the flow actually do works with certain scenarios, majority seems more realistic and favorable, but not all the times it is. So the basis of our betting should not just consider the majority but our intuition that tells us what to choose. Honestly, most of my decision are aligned with the majority, but if my intuition says so, I do not doubt it.

I've done it several times but I was lucky just only Once,  it was a match between Psg and Barcelona I booked the ticket that Barcelona is gonna qualify and they really made me proud that night, I knew with the squad that Barcelona had then they could turn around the match to their favor, something was just not right in the first leg

It's really risky betting on the underdog even though the rewards are very enormous should you win eventually but there is a 10% chance of winning and I am going to admit that the isn't really a great chance when the odd are stacked up against you.

Have you tried doing having a big bet on the favored team and then bet small on the underdogs? That's what I'm doing sometimes when I'd like to and sometimes I get to win and then I can manage to return the loss bet amount by that.

Not always the same. The votes of the public may indicate that a team is stronger. There are many things to consider when it comes to gambling. It is almost always seen that many favorite teams lose to relatively less powerful teams. Because the vote does not work in the field, the teams that plays well is the winner.

But the fact is, the teams that get the most votes from the public, those teams often win.
You have just broken it just the way it is bro, the majority team is always the winning the team.

I know this so much and this is one reason I never play against the crowd, I see it as a risk. Most times I am always on the lookout for the team with the highest crowd because I know they end up the winning team. I have never really seen the team with crowd lose a game, it happen though but very rare, so preferably its always cool and better to stick with the majority. This has been my experience and it is really being helpful.

A friend of mine has once tried to play against the majority and according to him, he wanted to try out something but it didn’t end up well for him because he lost his money.

a lot of times but usually i follow my intuition after analyzing all the technicalities involved especially if it involves an underdog just a little twist in between the game can affect the whole result. esp the match between tottenham and brighton i always had this feeling that brighton will win and it did  Cry

Sometimes I do that if I have a gut feeling that the underdog has a good chance of winning in the match, it's very rare for an underdog to win but if you happen to bet in an underdog and he happens to win, then it's a jackpot for you, people tend to remember those wins that they've got from underdog than winning in a favorite, because the winning is huge and you are very luck to win.

A gut feeling is not enough for me to just go against the majority, most especially if the one that is underdog is a huge underdog. I will only do that when that huge underdog is a team or someone who is somehow special to me, for example, a fellow countryman carrying the flag of the nation. In instances like these, I will only bet a very small amount.   

When I go against the majority and the huge favorite at that, I am already more or less convinced out of analysis or objective assessment that I am betting on the possible winner despite being an underdog.

Even if we bet along with the majority doesn't mean that we can already win. Of course, betting with the majority is an easy decision to make because even if we lose, we just think that, its a majority and I am not only the one who loses, but the thing is, it is better to win against the majority.  Cheesy
It is indeed an easy decision to make when you follow the majority. Aside from the fact that you won't lose alone, it kinda seems to many that the majority has the greater chance to win.

But, it's also important to listen to what your heart or even your gut tells you combined with the analysis of the capabilities of the players and not just depend on what the majority wants.

I’ve go against the majority for a couple of times already because I find it challenging because sometimes going with the majority is boring and not all the time you will win, there are also times that you will lose even if all people say it’s a win. Also, betting with the majority sometimes can make you overconfident and you expected too much but then lose in return, it can be very frustrating but when you bet on an underdog you’ll not think too much about it and you’ll only be surprised that you won.
For me, it is best you bet on the team you think will out power the others, check the statistics if is is looking good and you know they can potentially win then go for it no matter if majority is considering that team an underdog.

Very rare to did this to me because bets against majority very risky although the odds for underdog teams usually high but once time i have good experience for this on semifinal match of champion league last season Liverpool vs Barcelona for second leg that everything just like mission impossible because 4 goals is very difficult for Liverpool but i don't know why i'm so confident bets for them although almost every people don't dare to do so but eventually the results makes me smile widely because Liverpool can through the match with 4 goals difference
The best way mate is to always go with instinct because at the end of the day it's always a risk on both ends and there's no assurance that following the crowd and acting on their opinion will save one from eventually losing. I think one of the reasons many go with majority or listens to other persons opinions is because of fear and not until we learn to overcome this, we would always be coward gamblers.

It takes only those who are willing to make loses to make much profits in gambling. I can't begin to mention the countless times I made up my mind to go against the crowd especially during sport betting and I can tell that it's indeed rewarding.

Instinct and stats I guess should be hand in hand because if you only follow your instinct but the teams performance isn’t good then your bet will only be put in vain. For me it doesn’t matter of it’s the majority or not so long as I can see that they have a chance then i’ll go with, regardless if most people say it’s an underdog but the performances can stand a chance to others then i’ll risk it. Betting is also a gamble but it’s is indeed more rewarding on betting in an underdog and then later won because of it.

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

No one in the right mind will bet even they knew that the chance of losing is higher than winning. Gamblers play not only for fun but also to earn from this activities. The mindsets is to take the opportunities to win and not just to play nand support the team that they've love, though in some chances there's people who also wanted to the risk expecting to receive high rewards when luck permits them, but that's small portions.
I suggest you speak for yourself because I know a lot of people that would not mind loosing cash because they are supporting their favorite team and that is not enough to say they are not in a good state of mind. To some, gambling is fun and it’s a place to make money for others, so the reality is that different people play for different reasons and I can’t speak or write for everyone, I can only write for myself.

Now to the post, the only time I tried to play against the crowd, I had a horrible experience that is still a nightmare to me, sometimes I still ask myself why I ever took that decision.

I am not into gambling for entertainment like some other people, so I felt really stupid because a game that was meant to bring me profit ended up giving me loses because of a singular decision to stay different, it’s hard to know more than majority because among those are well experienced and expert players, so if you are not a fun gambler, not following the crowd is never a wise decision to make but to those playing for entertainment. There is joy in standing for what you believe in even when loses are made, all that matters is the inner joy that comes with the game.

Betting against the majority does not mean that the chance of losing is high. You may have received a tip from the bookie about the outcome who is your friend.

It would be wrong to assume so. Its a mix of both if you ask a general unbaised opinion, which is hard to get in today's world. But earning mostly is for professional gamblers who dont really play anymore but act for the casino to be promoted.

Some sports lovers do play like that and they bet for fun on a table of wine and good food. Grin

But thats not all of it you know. There will be one of two in that group getting a rush everytime to goal is made or a player gets a card.

The majority vote can guide you which of the team is the crowd favorite, which has strong assets, and which as the least risks of losing. Though it is not correct all the time. Especially in esports, between the two teams, one can lead in the first half but the other team can still have chance to fight back and lead until the end of the game. I've seen this too many times in DOTA and LoL competitions.

I think crowd favorite teams has more chances to win so I normally prefer to go with majority of the bets unless I need to take risk to get more profits.

It also happens to different type of sports not just esports. We all know that sportsbetting doesn't purely rely on luck. It depends on the gameplay of the team on that match. It's normal because no one would bet if they know they have high chance to lose in gambling.

Although I am not fond of esports but sport betting as an whole in unpredictable. The secret here is that once you go for the odd team, put less funds in that risky bet.
