Sports betting is a popular concept and many people are involved in it around us. Skill can work for you and choosing the best team is the main factor here. Because anything can happen within a very short time. So it is better to choose the best one for your safety. I think it's easy to choose if you have enough knowledge about sports.

But unfortunately, the best team can not always win the games because sometimes, the weak team can win easily. The field situations can change suddenly without we know, and that can make the opponent panic. We can see that the best team was defeated by the weak team many times, and that is happening not just in one or two times. If we have enough knowledge about sports, especially for the sports that we like, we will have a chance to select the team that can win.

The fact is that bookmakers sometimes deliberately put the odds they need on the opposite team, and if you are not good at this sport, you can easily be cheated by bookmakers... Cheesy

So it's always DYOR! Wink

There's no cheating in sports betting especially coming from sports book as they provide the odds for both sides, it's only up to us to decide which side we will bet, sometimes we just make a wrong decision as we presume a certain odds will provide us an easy win.

Interesting.
I think one of the reasons why cheating will likely be minimal or non-existent in sports betting is because the outcome of games is not dependent on or determined by things controlled or owned by betting sites. If a betting site owns and controls the football players(for example), things could be easily manipluted.

You're right but the fact that fixed game do really exist thats why there are games which you can really see odd moments where you can presume out that theres something wrong.

When we do talk about being fixed then this doesnt involved some penny amount and of course this will talk about millions.On the topic about how much knowledge is too much?

Everything you done is already into certain extent which unnecessary informations isnt really need but in sports, every information would really be relevant.

It is not that easy.

Despite the odds favoring the stronger teams, there are still chances that the other team could win. It is not easy, other than that, if you bet on those favored teams you don't usually get that much profit since the ones with high odds also have a small amount of money to win.

That is why it is called Game because both party can win even how big the difference are.

That's definitely normal as they are called favorites for a reason, but does they cover most of the time? That's what gamblers look and analysis as there's always a handicap when betting on either side.

This is on a case to case situation, but in general, I'm telling the fact that though all the time best team wins but they don't cover most of the time.

Bookmaker's always have an advantage! At least that sometimes they can overestimate the odds for obviously the same indicators! For example, recently played football match with N.Ireland and Bosnia and Herzegovina... In principle, the teams are similar in strength, even N.Ireland looked better! So, the original preference was given to Bosnia (x1.6) and N.Ireland (x6).... What is this, advantage or manipulation?

I think both. An advantage for them and at the same time with manipulation. It's all about business, whether both teams are equal in terms of strength, standings and other criteria. But all sports bookie are all in for the profit having calculation which will be favored to them.
And AFAIK, most of us here are aware of that.

We can't deny the fact that bookies want to earn huge money from this business. That kind of odds is widespread in a lot of bookies. So make sure to use a relatively good bookie. And right now, I've encountered this thread = comparison website in sportsbooks - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bestoddsai-odds-comparison-site-we-help-you-find-the-best-odds-5279405 . Seems good to use to see at a glance about the odds on each sportsbook. Though they still have a lot to add here.

There's plenty of services like that but it's good that this one only focus on crypto sportsbook so we can shop for the best odds in the market. I also checked the site but thus far they have limited number of sportsbook listed into their website, well, we can understand as they are quite relatively new.

Going back, I think it's understood that bookies wants to make more money, that's the goal of every casinos, which is to maximize their profit but we have to understand this is not a lucked based games, it's a skilled based games where bookies not necessarily called the house, we are betting on the opposite action.

Comparison and being capable of looking to different odds and spread of bookies will make you choose the best.

I've also noticed the difference versus our won prediction. I'd tried to put my bets on the higher odds as I thought that it gives a higher chance of winning but unfortunately, I dumb loose. I could feel such manipulation and they might try to fool us. That is why I'd find it not important to look into the odds but to look into the team which I did for a long time and it increases my probability of winning.

If that works better for you, continue working with it. Just choose the casino which you think is fair and acceptable for you.
