Making research doesn't automatically rule away losses or leads to wins
It just helps reduce the risk about the decision you taking
Certainty comes from the amount of knowledge you have and uncertainty is as a result of lack of significant knowledge.
The more you learnt from your research the less likely it's to loss.
And people that do without researching do so by relying on luck
And we all know how Lady luck is.

Betting without research means you are gambling blindly.
I'm 100% with you and happy to tell you that your friend gambles amiss. Such like him are the ones who will be crying foul when they have too many losing streaks. Many would always say that gambling is luck-based, I agree, but not in all aspects of it, sports betting is an exception, even though you still need luck in it, it's 50/50 with your expertise and luck. So, you can limit the reliance on luck if you know what you are doing.Betting without research means you are gambling blindly.
In sports betting, I make sure I know everything possible about the teams I am betting and it allows me to know the right options to choose. I still go further in planning the betting well by making them independent of each other, unlike the way many do it to ruin their ticket.

I read the assumptions of several other members regarding your thread, quite varied and subjective. I admit that doing research does not guarantee an accurate prediction. but without knowledge, understanding of the sport itself is the same as throwing away money for nothing in betting, let alone relying only on luck. for me research and analysis are inseparable parts in predicting a match, there are many mechanisms involved in it to be part of the research. the point is, research is important to me regardless of the final result. besides, my focus is not only betting on a team. therefore I do research and analysis to also determine the bets I choose, because that is an important part. regardless of winning or losing, the success or failure of a prediction, all are determined by the final result. don't forget also, sports involve humans in it and may make some mistakes. so just enjoy what we can do, and the unimportant ones don't have a big impact on anything, especially if the predictions from our research and analysis are inaccurate. this is part of betting, especially in sports it is very fun.
I don`t understand what is the thread about. I think that everybody understand that research increases your chances and we don`t need to talk about it. If it is just to remind about it - it would be better to say something about ways of research and information we have to search first of all.
I can afford myself to bet without research only in one situation - when i bet during the match i watching. When i see how the teams play online and can predict the result with my eyes.
When it comes to sports bet it is good to make research about a team's recent performances, individuals players strength and weaknesses in the team and compare them with an opponent team. Although research and analysis doesn't guarantee wins in sports bet but I think that it's part of the fun of sports bet, you get to have a better understanding of teams and individual players capabilities. It's not necessary to research every team that you want to bet on, just research on the teams that you're familiar with and bet what comes to mind with the teams that you're not familiar with. I can afford myself to bet without research only in one situation - when i bet during the match i watching. When i see how the teams play online and can predict the result with my eyes.
Isn't it obvious that before we place a bet on a game, we should know about the team? There are probably people who are so lucky that they can guess the right options by placing a blind bet, but this will not continue regularly. Understanding as many factors as possible, such as the condition or health of the team, its position in the tournament table, the location of the game, and even the time interval between games, which can also affect the players' fatigue, should be taken into account. However, it isn't easy to follow so many teams so closely, and probably those who bet on their favorite teams more often get positive results from bets.
I myself when making a bet, of course I have to make sure that I know the team or the team that will compete. Because I have to see their game and how far the difference will later determine which team I should bet on. meeting records, goal productivity, the last few matches I have to see, that is part of the plan before betting, although maybe the results will also be influenced by our luck. Like in the previous week for example, I bet on Bayern Munich, but the results of the match did not favor me because Bayern Munich felt defeat for the first time in the Bundesliga.

i mean, why will you place your money on something you are not at least sure of. even though we know that gambling is unpredictable and that sometimes regardless of the research you have done, the games can still go contrary to your prediction but not doing any research at all means you are gambling completely blindly. even though apart from gambling a lot of us here are lovers of the games we mostly gamble on and so we know a lot of things that is already playing out in the team, doing a bit of research will take out any form of emotions from your stake and help you make your prediction based on fact and not just the outcome of just the last game the team partook in.information like the potential lineup the coach is using for the game, the injury concern of the team and the extent of fitness of the both players can even give you better information that will guide your decision than relying just on some piece of information you are just disposed of on your own. there is no way when you compare the outcome of a man that does research before gambling to another that doesn't do any research that the latter will have better result than the former except the former doesn't have any knowledge on what he is betting on.

Agreed, the preliminary research on the relevant matter allows to make well-reasoned decisions in the course of betting. Generally human beings tend to some kind of irrationality in decision-making being bent of their feelings rather than facts they face. For instance, when fans bet on outcome of match which involves their favored team they bet more than often on this team rather then on its rival though the real facts may evidence that competitor is much stronger and has the better chance to win.

I mean I wouldn't reject people who gamble blindly but in that case, I'd very much tell them to just play games like dice, crash, and stuff instead of doing sports gambling lol. Sports gambling differ from regular gambling games exactly because you can (and are able to) skew the odds to yourself with research. Granted said research doesn't guarantee jack since there's like infinite factors involved (and games themselves have some factor of luck) so it's still partly gambling, but at the very least you can affect it by knowing what the hell is happening.And in general, sports are just fun to watch while knowing stuff!
Betting without some prior research is like firing a gun with your eyes closed.
Its obvious that research will provide a higher chance of winning a bet but there
is always a chance for unforseen events especially in a multi player sport.
Unfortunately though we dont have the time to research every match, so arguably
we shouldnt be placing a bet then?
Agree with you not everyone has time to research gambling first, if researching the game is very complicated and time consuming when placing bets, so play according to your skills while you judge the game easily, Its obvious that research will provide a higher chance of winning a bet but there
is always a chance for unforseen events especially in a multi player sport.

Research is the most important thing in sports betting, when you start betting on boxing, football, cricket matches etc. you must do research. You can never win blindly in betting, if you play on these three things, research, experience and luck, you will definitely win that bet.
I think about a match in several ways and based on how the match was performed in the past, how many attacks were made, I bet and win the bet. However, even if you don't win all the bets, some confidence is the most likely thing to win the bet.
I agree with you, before betting on a team in sports betting (football, cricket, or boxing), it is very important to research the previous performance and current performance of that team. And for this, you must have knowledge about sports games.I think about a match in several ways and based on how the match was performed in the past, how many attacks were made, I bet and win the bet. However, even if you don't win all the bets, some confidence is the most likely thing to win the bet.
However, in sports betting, along with experience, luck is also very important, or in sports betting, the importance of experience and luck is 50 - 50. Because many times it happens that you bet on a very strong team, Team A, and there is a weak team, Team B, during the game, you will always think that Team A will definitely win the match, but at the last moment, Team B will start performing well, and the match may end in a draw.
So in this case, luck is very important. So it is not always possible to win in sports betting, but if luck is with you, You can win the match that you are likely to lose.
And you, @OP, you should be the example of do research before betting will increase your winning chance.
Don't bet on low odds, bet on match with the odds at least @1.50.
If doing research is a way to increase winning chance, I'm sure many gamblers would end up in profit because they're made research before betting.
I agree that wagering on anything less than that is not worth the risk. I've bet on matches that I thought were guaranteed and featured low odds, such as 1.25; there's no way I'm going to lose, I thought to myself, but I did. The reward isn't worth the risk, which is why we should aim for higher odds and not fall victim to considering a match as safe or guaranteed. Fortunately, my bets were not for any major amount, but a loss is still a loss. I personally don't do too much research on what I'm going to bet; I'm not blindly betting money, but I don't conduct any major analysis either. Don't bet on low odds, bet on match with the odds at least @1.50.

I don't usually research before placing a bet, but I follow a few sports news and I'm relatively aware of the condition of the teams.
Like aoluain said above, there are so many uncontrolable variables that it doesn't make sense to me to invest more time doing a thorough research, but apparently some people need that false sensation of control to enjoy their bets, like if they were betting more responsibly that way.

Betting without research will cause you pick the wrong team that doesn't have a chance to win. You need to learn how to research to find the resources that gives you the information about the team so you can pick the right team. With research, you also get more information that you may not get in the other places so that will help you to know what potential of each team. And although research will not give you higher chance to win, research will gives you much information that you need. Maybe the information is not useful for now but who knows you will need that in the future.
I agree to what you have said so far, though knowing the current form of the teams involved and the likely things that may happen in a match due to their current form is good but it may not also decide what happens at the end of the match, though taking such approach helps us to make selections thats is seen as a right one but in conclusion some events can change it for us, when it come to the game of soccer, I have always seen luck as the major thing that decides our bet that's why I dont really see research as the major thing, people pick game randomly and still win, some people decide to pick few small odds to enable them win easily but at the end they lose, to me I see bet as an activitity that has somethings in it that's beyond human comprehension, though it's nice to predict a match based on the information availabe to you as a bettor but that isn't assurance that your bet will be exactly as you played it.

True, but not all match can be won when we bet by doing research or analysis first, even team already have an advantage on paper and big team are not necessarily able to win and the facts on the ground we have encountered lot related to results like this.
Sometimes the favorite team cannot be relied on, they play well and have very large game dominance but are unable to score goal and make some small mistakes that allow the opponent to get opportunities and excel with goal that can be created, if you have lot of experience in sports betting especially football you must understand what I mean.
This is what makes sports betting so interesting and the difficulty in predicting and failure can make someone keep trying until they win and get satisfaction.

When it comes to sport betting doing a good research is very important, those that always study a game very well and conduct a good research about the game and the players always end up winning more than those that don't conduct research, a friend of mine said he usually do not conduct research before playing a game because it never works for him, conducting a research don't mean you will always win the game you predicted but you have a higher chance of winning when you research.
Doing research will help you analyze historical data reveals pattern that can guide your predictions, there are history that will help you make good prediction, Research helps you rely on facts rather than emotions.

Casino Bets or Online betting is definitely more of a true blind gamble. Sports however is more of an educated guess if you ask me. There are just so many factors that can affect a favorable outcome that can be predicted quite well by those who know it and study it non stop! Research is what makes the difference from an A-F. Just like passing the test ya gotta study it!!!
Of course, you should collect as much information as possible before deciding which bet to place. I used to do this, but this method didn't really help me win. In fact, it is very important to have information that is inaccessible to most. Not insider information, but close to it. But having access to such information is a big problem. Therefore, you have to place bets based partly on the information that is generally known, and half just at random or by intuition.
Yes, this is the basic for sports bettors. We need to research teams that are going to play before we place our bets. And even if we follow the sports, sometimes it's better to look and do one final look.
It could mean that there could be players that are not available to play, thus affecting the odds. Or when you totally don't understand why suddenly one team because a big favorite. And then you assessed that there are reports that some players on the supposedly strong team are not playing due to injuries and this happens very often in NBA.
