It's normal if people will bet in the specific sports they are knowledgeable of. Having enough knowledge on the sports gives you an edge over other bettors from winning. If you have relevant and updated information needed to predict the course of the game progression, then you have a higher probability of making a calculated prediction of the game outcome. Especially if you know the strengths and weaknesses of the team players and the team itself, it will be a less challenging analysis on your end. But of course, analyzing the situation should still be done with caution since no matter how confident and sure you are on the capabilities of your choice, sometimes fate has other plans.
Some like to bet on ball games because they know so much about it and they have fun watching it. So I guess it's really to each his own. Sometimes people also have this some sort of belief that pushes us to do something because of the charm or luck aside from being well-informed.
Topic: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? - page 4. (Read 1155 times)
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?
As a bettor in sports betting, we tend to always choose the sports we know the best because I think any bettors will definitely not want to bet on such sports or games where they do not have any personal knowledge or know how about the game nor know the characteristics of the players or fighters. I mean, how can we increase our odds to win if we're just literally guessing the outcome.
Why not? I'm sure there are bettors who don't know much about sports, like soccer, but cheer for their national team and bet for the company at the world championships. At least I know a few people who bet for fun. They rather see it as a kind of ritual to support the team. Sort of like how fans wear scarves and draw team flags on their faces while watching matches. And I don't think there are very few people like that.
As for the cheering for your own country that's already given. You can do whatever you can just to support your own people, but as far as betting goes, It will depends on whether or not your country has that enough capacity and skills to win against their competitor. I'll take it for example our Ph basketball team who almost cannot win against majority of the FIBA worldcup qualifiers, let along winning in their group bracket. I cannot risk a money line betting no matter how huge the winning profit is coz I know the chances are too low to win against a much stronger team. I can place a bet in a different way but that's not gonna be an act of support for my country, that's just betting to win money lol.
Regardless if it's a 50/50 chance of winning or not, it's still good to stick with the sports we have known.
We are also doing gambling here, therefore, expect the unexpected like an underdog might pull a win and upset the favorites. But keep in mind that it's not always the case where upset always happened. Of course, even with the support of a well-detailed analysis, it's not that it's a sure win already.
Sports betting is already tough, why add risks to consider betting on other sports that we don't know or are familiar with?
One of the main attractions of sports betting is that with the right knowledge about a particular sport and the odds you could at least decrease the house edge the casino has over you, but that possibly disappears as soon as you decide to make a bet on a sport you know nothing about.We are also doing gambling here, therefore, expect the unexpected like an underdog might pull a win and upset the favorites.

And while there is nothing inherently wrong with such a decision, as each person can decide in which way they may like to use their money, at the same time anyone doing this may as well just play a different gambling game, as they are refusing to take advantage of the knowledge they have accumulated as fans over the years.
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)

I am just curious to know why people favor one Sport over another, when it comes to betting?
In my point of view, I think one of the reasons behind this is that each region has one type of sports popularity, and I think most people prefer specific sports betting because of these differences. In my case, cricket is very popular in our local area. In my case cricket is very popular and known in our local area, although football is the second most popular game after cricket, and most of the people in my area tend to bet more on these specific sports.

In my case the above reason is one of the big cause for choosing that sports for betting, Also, there are other reasons, one of which is that I understand a bit more about cricket than football or other sports, and most of the time feel more comfortable betting on cricket because of this. Moreover, there is another reason that I am not yet familiar with other sports. And yes this is another reason that a person who knows more about sports or who likes sports more will have an idea about the players and teams as well as their strengths and that helps them to gamble on that.

I love football, UFC or boxing, apart from betting on these three, I have no interest in betting on other sports
I agree with you man. It's just like we're choosing the way home from work, which we always use. We prefer what we have experienced and known before because we do not want to be faced with surprises or questions because we feel happy and safe in our comfort zone. When we place a bet, we put our money on the table. Why make a risky choice? Naturally, we make choices that we consider less risky. I think everything is based on a simple cause and effect relationship as it seems.
Sports betting is not solely based on luck, unlike games in the casino like roulette and dice. Keep in mind that sports bettors are people who love sports and tend to focus only on the sports they know well.
Personally, I find it unwise to bet on sports that you're not familiar with and rely solely on luck. Not only will you not enjoy the game, but your chances of losing are also very high. It doesn't make sense to waste your money on something like that.
Usually, because people just want to make more money, sometimes people often bet on sports that they don't recognize, either the strength of the athlete or the sports team, I agree with choosing a particular sport, let alone betting on what we know, both the strength of the athlete and the team, so we don't losing money on our bets.Personally, I find it unwise to bet on sports that you're not familiar with and rely solely on luck. Not only will you not enjoy the game, but your chances of losing are also very high. It doesn't make sense to waste your money on something like that.
After all, why make extra money by choosing sports bets that we don't know and are good at, that's the same as adding risk to our bets as gamblers, don't waste money to get more money than what we don't know because that's just hoping for luck completely without do research and analysis.
As a gambling player you have no influence whatsoever on the sports competitions, but it is still more pertinent to bet on sports competitions in which you are known so that you feel like you know what you are doing. It is nicer to bet on something so that you can justify the value of the chosen bet in that way. I also don't think it's very pleasant to bet on a bet of which you don't know the rules well. And then you also have the distinction on which markets you will bet? Asian handicaps are sometimes very difficult, so you have to be well aware of the exact rules. Otherwise you are waiting for the result of your bet and you don't know if you lost or won it.

There are some bettor who places their bet on a sport that they are not familiar with, probably they still do their homework before placing a bet. I also do this in boxing betting, its easy to do your own research before you bet even that if its not your main favorite sport, although it is better if you have more knowledge about that sports since it can help you know where to place a bet.

Exactly, interest with that specific game is the main factor for you to consider it for sports betting. I think it is common sense that you go with something that you are interested and knowledgeable about so that your winning chances would be higher. So, everything in sports betting is a personal preference as well as your expertise in that specific game. Also, the availability of that game in their country can be a factor, like in our country whose basketball is more famous that footfall, they tend to go on sports betting that is more famous in their country. All in all, it would still go down into personal point of view so just be wise in choosing what you go into and be responsible with every decision that you would do.
If we talk about it now, football is a game that I bet a lot on. Moreover, there is a team that is my favorite team.
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?
There isn't a specific sport that increases a person's chances of winning a ticket, just like with bitcoin, where we advised against investing if you don't understand it. Instead, people choose the sport in which they are most knowledgeable about the team that will play the game, or maybe they still do that because they are fans of that sport. For example, most people bet on football because it is their favorite sport, and you can see that they still make that choice. 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.

Yes, even I wager on my preferred sport since I am well-versed in it. However, what would happen if a football player placed a wager on table tennis without having any prior knowledge of the game? I believe I have people like that around me, but I just want to say that a small outcome that you are sure with is better than a big outcome that you are not sure of because it's possible you may lose because you follow greediness. He might lose the money because he only predicted it and didn't know anything about the team that will play the game, as you said some people follow outcomes. Please share your thoughts...

I guess as you mentioned, people know more about certain sports and team than others. So they will most likely choose those sports. The more you know, the better when it comes to gambling.
For me personally, I will choose popular sports and in where I am able to gather as much information as I can. Also, I will have to have interest in that sport. If I am watching it without any interest, then it is most likely possible that I will skip some major information before betting. So that's also a thing to keep in mind.
How a certain player can have effect on the full game also matters. So knowing every player and their skills, impact on the game individually could also improve your gambling. And in sports where the chances are 50/50, I have no idea how people bet on them. I don't want to take that much risk. So I haven't tried that yet.
Another thing when we bet on a sport we've got good information, it is possible to spend on different bets. On random picks we'll spend only on specific bets like one team to win the match. We won't go on the over and under options and all.
In my case it's simple. I don't bet on sports that I don't watch and know very little about.
You can't expect people to bet on tennis or chess, when these aren't popular sports in their country. I'll give you an even better example. In Europe almost nobody watches or plays american football. I barely know the rules. They even call it football in there, but in Europe what Americans call soccer is called football and their football is called American football. Nobody here bets on US football teams because we don't watch nor follow it, but everybody knows how their national football team is doing.
Me too, I won't bet on sports I don't watch or have little interest in. For me betting on matches is one way for me to enjoy the game. And how can I enjoy a game when I'm not watching a particular sport? The atmosphere of the match that I got when I bet was really encouraging for me to watch the match to the end. Yes, even though I lost in the end, it wasn't a big problem for me, because even if I win, it's just an added bonus for me.You can't expect people to bet on tennis or chess, when these aren't popular sports in their country.

That's right, even if you only have a little knowledge it can be a big risk of losing money and it is highly recommended for us bettors to place bets on sports that we really know. Here, I really like football and of course I would prefer to bet on football matches than other sports because I always follow the latest news from clubs, players, transfers or other small things. Maybe each individual's passion is different regarding the sport they like and that might be an additional income if you also place bets where you like.
Not only in sports that we know, but also in sports that we understand and also have knowledge about so we can easily make predictions when betting.I'm sure all gamblers have their favorite type of sport to bet on and even they are willing to spend money to be able to gain experience and insight in this type of sport.
What I like most about sports betting is when there are favorite teams or players playing, betting can be a lot of fun.
It's just that for some matches, maybe you can only watch it in live broadcasts and you can't come to watch it in the stadium or octagon.
