Nobody wants to lose their money easily and gamblers are not exempted from this fact, that's why people will want to bet on specific sports they have good knowledge of so they can have a good chance of winning in their different trials. I'll be very confident in placing an accumulator bet on a sport am knowledgeable of for it's that confident that creates the believe that I can have a chance to win compared to when I would be betting on sports I am a novice to.

If you said every team perform different in every match, it's mean sport is a luck based game, not skill based game. Skill based game means you need to have some skill to guess which one will win, so either they're play bad or good, your guess shouldn't be wrong.

Predicting a champion in league is completely hard, but usually it's not away from the top 3 favorited teams. But I'd consider to bet on a match, not predicting the champion.
What I meant is that in every match the team that you think would win the title uses a different strategy against a new opponent. They would try to attack on that weaker area with a different strategy. Sometimes it is effective and sometimes it is not depending on various aspects of the game. That is the reason I only focus on a particular team and keep on betting the team regardless of the odds unless they keep losing back to back matches.

That is true there is no guarantee that you would win in sports betting. There has been many instances with me when I was confident on the team I placed my bets. Infact every other media outlet was also confident with that team and yet they lost the game. I also feel that when you bet in franchise matches it is not that easy to win because of multiple games. Every game is different and the team you choose perform different in every match. Sports betting is not that easy as everyone thinks, it is a skill based game that does need luck.

Perhaps if you are familiar with the sport, it may be easier for you to understand the odds. However, it's important to note that even experts in sports betting cannot guarantee a win. If predicting the winner were easy, most of us who engage in sports betting would already be consistently profitable.

However there are other sporting agenda like tennis which odds are easier to understand because it involves two individuals competing against eachother and most times it's easier to predict the stronger opponets from the weaker, like wise boxing as well. Some other people who are not familiar with sports find it easier to bet on casino games like poker, baccarat or blackcat.

Underestimate- nothing
I am just curious to know why people favor one Sport over another, when it comes to betting? Is there specific Sport that increase your win chance or do you bet on those Sport for other reasons?

I know most people will favor certain Sport, because they know more about the players or the teams and information is power, when it comes to betting... but some Sport are 50/50 when it comes to the outcome of the match. (One lucky punch or kick can make a underdog a champion)

Please share your thoughts...  Tongue

I believe that people prefer to bet on the sport that they understand better. Since I find it difficult to comprehend cricket and basketball, I will personally choose soccer because I know that it is the easiest sport to understand and that many people enjoy it. Even people in rural areas are familiar with football, and I believe that soccer gives me the best chance of winning because it is the number one game that I am extremely familiar with. As I have previously stated, I cannot bet on a sport that I do not understand. i don't remember if I have bet on any other sport than football.


There is always favoritism in almost everything  we do in life and that's also gambling inclusive and for several reasons people would want to favour a particular  team or sport over another and for me, one of the major reason I always prefer a particular sport over another is the reason you mentioned above, and I also believe that would also be similar  reason with others, because it will always be best when one sticks to  what they know especially  when making bets.
Away from choosing  a particular  sport over the other, i think choosing  a team over another is one of the case scenarios as most gamblers are die hard fans of a team and will always bet in favour of the team when the case arises.
But truth be told that, I basically don't let favoritism bother me when making bets because I always have the consciousness of making profit irrespective of what sport and game I'm betting on.

And when betting, I don't think I'll bet on my team instead, I'll pick a team that has potential rather than my favorite for this reason, I'll pick a sport I know well so that I can pick teams with a better chance of winning. For instance, if we talk about Manchester City's most recent season, you can easily predict either a straight win or a draw this is an example of how knowing your sport helps you choose the best teams to bet on.

Apart from winning or losing, I believe some people bet on sports matches because they have a genuine love for the sport or support a favorite club. As a fan of the English Premier League, it's incredibly exciting to watch the matches every week. Meanwhile, the bets I place add an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

It is true that some gamblers bet during the game of a team they loved the most. There are some gamblers who bet on their team even if their favorite team is relatively weak and also some gamblers not only bet on their games but also bet to enjoy the game of their favorite team. Some of the gamblers only bet on selected matches after analyzing various types of data. Gamblers continue to support their favorite team despite knowing that winning or losing in gambling depends entirely on luck.

That is true,every time I have placed a bet in favor of my local team which I am a fan of I have always lost money,I don't know why is that as that is a team that usually fights for the title,yet the times I bet on them they either draw or worse even lose the game.

I personally prefer to play low risk bets,I usually parlay 2 games with over 1.5 goals each of them and the odd is rarely more than 2 but usually at 1.6-1.7 and so far most of these parlays I have played have been wins,doesn't mean they will always be,a good start for me nevertheless.

Betting is something that demands high level of intentionality so that the person involved can successfully win from it.

I wonder how high intention increases the possibility of a person winning in gambling.  I am honestly confused since as far as I know luck based game is based on chance while sports betting can be increased by the knowledge of the gambler about the sports he preferred betting.

I agree with what you said because in this case in sportsbetting there is a condition where our probability of winning can be increased by some analysis and matches made. although in this case we cannot rule out luck too but still there are some conditions where we can make a win with the research and confidence we do in betting because we really believe that we bet can get a win.
I do sportbetting more specific to soccer especially for the big leagues such as the top 5 leagues and Champions League and sometimes win even though it is luck based but I benefit more in sportsbetting than other games such as cards or slots.

Luck does play a significant role in sports gambling, and that's what makes it all the more intriguing. There are certain sports matches that should indeed be avoided due to their unpredictability. It's not just the high-profile matches, but rather the regular games that pit strong individuals or teams against weaker ones.

So that's why majority of people would always want to bet on sports they know very much about.

True, reason why I am confused about the intention as way of making a gambler more chance of a successful win.

If someone who has very little knowledge of basketball for example wants to bet and chose basketball games to bet on, he'll definitely lose his money because he wouldn't know which team is better in the  games he's betting on

Not really definitely but rather has a high chance of losing his bet.  Since we all know that sports betting even though base on skill sometimes gives unexpected result.
True, there has been various of unexpected results coming into play to gambler's favour. But yet those unexpected results doesn't happen purely out of ignorance, a bearing where the gambler gambles into a sport he has no knowledge about then the chances of an unexpected favourable results is not probable. It would be easier to have an unexpected results in addition to your picks based on your knowledge on the sport.

Having knowledge of the sport with your betting strategy included increases your chances of winning a bet and having results upturned unexpectedly to your favour compared to betting out of ignorance on such sports.

You cant say that he would definitely lose because what if he would be sticking on the favorite most of the time? For sure he would really be still having the chance on winning up a certain bet because we know that there are only two choices whether you do win or lose on 2 specific teams or players unless if you do make plans on betting on other options or lines then it would be your own preference but its true that when it comes to advantage then nothing beats out into those someone who does have that kind of knowledge when it comes to a certain sport.

Plus if you do make out bets on a specific sport you are knowledgeable of, then you would definitely be having that kind of entertainment or enjoyment on watching up your bet compared into betting into a sport
on which you dont even known about but well its your money to bet on and if ever you do consider out on betting on multiple sports and sticking into your own patterns then its your choice
but wont be shocked if you do end up on busting it all.

I believe people favor specific sports because thats where their strenght lies. Like every other field, the biggest way to earn consistently from gambling is if you focus on your strenght. And this is where the specific sports come in.

For some, Tennis is king
For some, they are prolific at basketball bets
For some, Volleyball is theirs
For some, Football it is and so on and so even including casino bets and virtual bets too.

I have a short review that helps football gamblers

Unlike virtuals; you're not even sure how the weeks and rounds are being programmed,... The aren't also made to play with the current form like the team's, in real life.
True, that's correct. Betting on real life events is much safer since you can make predictions based on your knowledge of the game, rather than relying purely on luck-based gambling. For example, if you watch a football league regularly and have extensive knowledge about the teams your chances of predicting the final score of games would be higher.

Virtual games are fun to play and provide fast results but they carry higher risks because you're relying solely on luck. There are no guaranteed strategies that can ensure your victory; it's purely random and to be honest I don't do that only just once in a month or so for fun only.

you can only bet comfortably on a sports that you truly know about. not only the sports itself, but the athletes involved. sometimes you feel you are so close to these athletes already as you know even their personal lives. well, in some cases, what's going on with their personal life sometimes affect their mental health as athlete just like among boxers. so that's another angle that you can look at in determining your odds.
and there's no doubt, a sports bettor would only bet on the sports he knows about. the luck is still in play, however, you are having better chance with your choices if you know the sports by heart. you will be more satisfied as well as you are challenging yourself in this process, how well do you know this particular sports and the players in it.
This can increase your chances in betting, if you are good at football then you need to focus only on one direction, and there is no point in trying to bet on hockey, or formula 1. Sometimes it can be very difficult to analyze one direction, because the analysis of even one match can be complex, starting with which player will miss the upcoming match and ending in what mood the team is approaching this game, their motivation and many other factors.
Well, even in all of that, I personally still prefer sport betting over over other games to be sincere.

I think everything boils down to one discovering his or her self, I have accessed myself and discovered that I am not really good with games that are purely based on luck, like slot, casino games, sports betting, no matter the several uncertainties that usually surrounds every match played, I still prefer to play betting over luck based games, for those who are really lucky with slot and other luck based games, they probably will see sports betting as a waste of time, so it's all about preference, "one man's food is another man's poison" is a common proverb

Personally I just like some sports better than others and that is my entire reason for betting on that sport instead of some other sport, that I do not like.

I think its just that some people feel more connected to one sport than another. A football fan is not really going to care about women's basketball, no matter how good or how much better the odds are. It just does not feel right, you know?

Also I think it may make people more nervous, betting on sports to which they do not know the rules or whose players they are not familiar with.

If gambling was only about the best odds, then people would just play dice all the time.

If you are a fan of sports surely you will have certain knowledge about it and when you make a bet when you watch that certain game that you have bet on you can feel the excitement and exhilarating feel that you are watching the sports that you have made a bet on I think that is why you love betting on sports and you love that sports at the time, well I can think of many sports that I like that I also make a bet 1st before watching it, there is Basterball, I have NBA, WNBA, Boxing, Soccer, I have Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League, MMA we got many but main ones was UFC, Bellator, PFL, and F1, well there are many to choose from,

For sure it is easier to play on online casinos, but it is much easy in predicting Sportsbet than in playing with a casino, well It is easy to predict sports for sure,

Well, we have different tastes and likes so it will base on that if what sports you like there are certain individuals that want only one sport but there are gamblers that have multiple sports like me so there are different people with different liking when it comes to sports,


In scenarios, there are more pro gamblers that are 80% accurate with their game predictions. Only by employing a straightforward approach that yields profits can gambling be thoroughly investigated and comprehended. Considering the system is unpredictable, I would rather settle for the amount of time I have available to gamble. Our decision also influenced our gambling behavior, so we must make critical modifications that will benefit our continued existence in the system. Betting is a high-risk game with assured earnings and losers. 

Not all straightforward approaches will always become successful there is certain luck to this but surely you have a high probability when you have certain knowledge of the game for you to be successful and look for certain injuries, players that can not play suspended, or certain things that might happen all have some effect on you winning a game,

Martingale or not, that's the riddle. Folks, the answer? A big NOPE. Risky betting? Absolutely. Draining your cash? Faster than a whirlwind. Emotional rollercoaster? One moment, king of the hill; the next, you're pondering existence while your fortune vanishes. Do yourself a solid, dodge martingale. Your piggy bank and your mind? They'll love you for it.

Oh yes, it's that sometimes writing the word Fútbol = football goes away, what happens is that here at least where I live football is like a religion, we play it, we bet and we are very fans, of course there are people who like They don't like everything, but for the most part yes, it's not like in Brazil, because Brazil is a purely soccer country and that's what identifies it, however we here can have many options, first bet, and win or lose, and The best of all is that every time we learn more, we know more about the players, sometimes we have almost the same information from a sports expert.


It's not about increasing the winning chances dude... It's about understanding the options and pairing them properly with the right combo... Yunno, if I'm actually betting on sports, I know too well the capabilities of each premier league clubs and that cannot make me bet a smaller team on a better advantage over the bigger teams - although, the reverse is always the case most times - but, you'll surely be guided by your own discretions in cases like this.. maybe, matching the head-to-head would do alot of impacts.

You are right, sometimes we let ourselves be carried away by reason and what will actually happen, but it is not always like that, when we see that things in a specific sport , for example in soccer, many in Qatar failed with their predictions because no one saw that Japan eliminated Alenamia, or even worse that Saudi Arabia beat Argentina, so these types of cases are what one thinks of when betting, yes, sometimes there is a great advantage when you start to buy a player from player, maybe there are many who are famous and who play too well, but despite all this, skill and talent, strength, good strategy can stand out over it, and can give victory to the opposing team and that It's something we've all seen.

In boxing, it's something else , it's easier to decide who to bet on, even though the statistics are hardly wrong, but a boxer wins his fight is in training, not in the ring, because in the ring he shows what he trained, it's It's that simple, that's why when there's a big fight I always worry about Knowing details of the boxers' training , because that's when you win.
