Now, the odds could actually tell which team or player could win the game but it also doesn't mean it is a sure shot. Even the x1.05 - x1.20 favorites could lose the game and I had my share of winning large amounts by betting against them.
The better way would be to do it ourselves when it comes to predicting games. That way even if we lose we won't blame anything or anyone but just us. However, the feeling that we will have when we win that game because of our analysis will be entirely different from just copying a prediction site. I can tell because I've done it so long and it's still the feeling of success when I won my own bets.
There was one instance when I had placed 10 bets on teams which had lower odds.
I lost 9/10 bets and won just once. We can't simply rely on the betting odds to place our bets.
It can be one of the validations for our bets though. It's good to have as many validations as possible .
