Topic: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? - page 3. (Read 1132 times)

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.
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.

You are absolutely right, for example in the UCL I am sure that I was not the only one who lost his bet, because I saw at least in the social networks that many who are from Barcelona bet on City and all the Madridistas and Anti-Barcelonistas bet on Madrid, what I never imagined is that Madrid would have come out to play with such poor precision, with a Militao that did nothing, well yes, they scored a tremendous own-goal, but this was one of those Real Madrid games Madrid where they were totally lost, they didn't know what to do, now Man City has the opportunity to win a UCL but they have to be there and pass over an Inter that has everything to win too, let's wait and see how much the bets open up and in favor whose.

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.

when you are a fan of a sport, you also know the popular athletes of this sport and you will have the edge in betting on matches compare to those who are just guessing and dependent on the odds provided by the house.

boxing has a lot to consider. somehow the boxing fans in this forum are already enough to make you decide who to bet in every match.

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.

I am sure in this case that there's no gambler that would give so much interest with his money in placing bets in games he is oblivion about. We play to win buy then how do we win if we're playing blindly ? And that's why every gambling plays only games he has more winning advantage on because that's where his strength lies.

Another reason could be that they get so much fun from playing those kind of casino game or sports game. Mind you not everyone plays because he wants money, some persons do so due to how interesting and fun such game's gives them and how skillful they're with playing those games.

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. 

I am a faithful Believer that with knowledge you can always earn money , and in the case of sports betting it is, as far as I am concerned when we make sports bets we always surrender to our decision, or one thing or the other, the The chances of winning are practically 50-50 and that is very attractive , since by winning we are ensuring something of the bet , otherwise it is very different to allocate money only to roulette that we give ourselves to our luck , Instead in our sports bets Decisions are merely ours, and accordingly we win or lose.

Except for the games you play against other gamblers, every single gambling game has a house edge, there is the mistaken belief that sports bets do not have a house edge as the match themselves are out of their control, but this is not accurate.

If you take the time to convert the odds given to you to a percentage and you add them you will see the percentage adds to a number higher than 100%, so if for example all the percentages of every single outcome in a match were added and it gave you a result of 105% then you know the house edge on that particular match is 5%.

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.

There are many factors, for example, if the bettor prefers a big random, then he will choose women's tennis - here the odds change dramatically during the game. And by the way, the structure of the match itself implies a constant change in the odds from serve to serve. Women's tennis bets are loved by those who make live bets, and by the way, bookmakers know all this, so here their margin is higher than in football and is approximately 8% (while in football it is from 4% to 6%).
It all depends on the better and what kind of bets he likes to make.

It was our advantage to a sport that we support because we are already familiar with their team performance as we are following them the whole season. It is quite different and difficult to just speculate and rely on luck compared to a bet that we are really sure of ourselves that it was right (even tough the result is lose). As for me, I was preferred on basketball and I neglect to bet other sports because I know and just like what you are saying above, it just like i gamble in casino that only rely on luck.

People bet on sports they don't know much about out of curiosity and just want to have fun, especially when their friends ask them to place bets on that sport. And after placing the bet, he just forgot about it but oddly enough, some can win from that bet. Maybe it was beginner's luck or for an unknowing person.

It's better for us to only bet on sports we know well to analyze the teams or players who will compete. That is to minimize the risk of losing in betting so that we really only place bets on our favorite sports.

You are right, personally, as I have said before, I am quite good at making some predictions about who can win in soccer, especially in the Leagues, but in the World Cup in Qatar I cannot deny that I was very wrong because there were certain results that surprised me now if on the Contrary I go to make bets on sports that I did not practice, such as basketball or baseball, that would be how I enter a casino to gamble, because basically it would be Giving myself over to luck and I consider that in sports betting the Things are handled with Knowledge and logic, then it would be an option to lose very easily.

this made me remember last year, well last year when the premier league, the la liga, the serie A, the bundesliga, the portuguese league ended, there was only the brazilian league left for me to place bets, so i thought why I didn't start placing bets on other leagues, like the China League, the Japan League, the Chile League, there was also the US League, the South Korea League... on the first day I analyze the games, well they were scenarios that seemed like the mission would be very easy, because I saw a game between a strong team that was at the top playing against a team that was in the last position, the odds were excellent then, I was already excited

I saw them being easy wins, so I made a bet, rested and 2 hours later I went there to see the result of the game and my bet, and to my shock, I lost, I'm thinking at the time how it was possible. so I see another match in the china league and bet, everything was on paper for me to win the bet, the team I bet on was the top against a team from the relegation zone, everything was going well because the top team was already winning, until I'm going to rest, when I come back to see the result, I get upset, I lost again, the game ended in a draw, I lost for 2 months and when the main leagues came back I stopped betting on leagues I don't know

It’s not just normal, it’s the norm. It’s what’s logically acceptable and is what makes sense given the premise. Yes there are a couple of people who bet on games they don’t even know the mechanics of, but at the same time there’s really no fun in not knowing how you won, so you’ll see people betting in games that they at least have surface-level knowledge of. As for sports betting, it’s less common since most players, especially when it comes to basketball and football all seem to automatically favor their home team over others, regardless if whether the team players of their home team are good or bad. Which is why there are still Cubs fans even to this day lmao.

Placing a bet on a match that you know nothing about or a sport that you've never liked or watched in your entire life is just like wasting your money or gambling them away at a hi-lo game where you have 50% chances of winning only while sports betting is supposed to give you better chances of winning since it requires experience and knowledge just a little bit of luck.

Maybe those people who like taking risks or those who have a lot of money and don't care about losing a couple of matches by placing bets on sports they don't know much about or selecting teams they don't know anything about.

Well, there is basically no house edge in sports betting but it's your own choices that make you win or lose, the house has zero influence on the results of a sports game. It depends on how much research you can do and how you analyse both sides and choose the best one, if your guess or prediction turns out to be right, that's great, if not, the house wins.

It's definitely better to play a gambling game than betting on a team or a sport that you have no knowledge about, it's just placing a bet on a Hi-Lo game with a 2x multiplier where there are 50-50 chances of you either winning or losing the bet.

There are very few cases of someone placing a bet on a sport they don't like or don't know very well about the teams in a particular sport. In terms of placing bets based on favorite sports, we have studied the performance of the best teams and weak teams.
I prefer to bet on soccer because of all the sports I know, soccer is my favorite sport. At certain times I choose to watch without placing any bets, I don't want to take risks in the Big Match, where the outcome is difficult to predict.

yes, it is true that there are people who bet on sports who really don't know much about certain sports and there are lots of people who bet just for fun on sports that are foreign to them. sometimes there is also someone who often bets on football but doesn't know anything about the NBA, but he wants to try his luck from other people's tips.
so there are still many people who bet on sports that are completely foreign to them just for the fun of trying their luck.
