personally, I usually bet on soccer matches and then on popular matches that the website offers.
but nowadays there are many MLB matches every day so I bet on players' Props but sadly until now I still don't hit my parlay.

Your choice is not different from that of many of us here, because I personally prefer to bet on sports games than to play other gambling games.
Since I will have the chance to analyze the game and to some extent predict it is a winner.

Most especially in football matches it's easy to speculate the team that will play better in the game just by taking a look at their previous games' performance.

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?
It's gambling when you're betting aimlessly and without knowledge of what you're betting, but when you bet on sports that you've analyzed and you think your chances to win are good then we can call it skill.

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)

Do you mean in boxing or MMA how often do upsets happen it is very rare and unexpected you cannot be sure that a match can end in an upset its real gambling betting that the match will result in an upset, even if the match looks 50/50 good analysis can still predict the outcome.

It's a matter of preference and not favour, we choose to gamble and bet on the games we think best suit us which is also what we think we are good at, there are many gambling sporting activities we can decide on using any, but we shouldn't make it appears as if one sport betting is more favourable than any other betting such like casino bet, dice, slot gamed or plinko games, everything occur on a fare platform in gambling and our choice determines which we to for.
I agree with you, to be honest Sports betting is more my style than traditional casino betting. I'm not very lucky with the games I play in a casino, and I rarely win significant amounts of money. However, when it comes to gambling on my favorite sports or even e-sports, that's where I really shine. As a football fan, I have extensive knowledge about teams and players worldwide.

I enjoy watching football matches and placing bets on a few games every week. Unlike casino-based games that rely solely on luck, sports betting involves tactics, news, and other factors that make it easier for me to pick right choices . All in all, I find sports betting to be a more enjoyable and rewarding form of gambling. Sometimes I also enjoy betting on e-sports tournaments, especially in popular games such as Valorant or League of Legends.

It's more fun to bet on a sports that you are familiar with and bet on your favorite team to win, though it will not increase your chance of winning but having this can satisfy your personal desire and make you more happy. I prefer to bet more on our local basketball league simply because I get more data compare to other sports and with this, I can easily place a bet. Its good to have your favorite sports to bet, most probably this will be your safe bet.

Betting and Gambling are fun activities were there many options to bet or gamble on, but people Play and bet/gamble on sports/games that they have good knowledge about and offers them entertainment and fun. In my opinion that is how it should be, that is bet/gamble on sports/games that you have interest and knowledge in.

Betting/gambling on sports/games that you have interest and knowledge in will increase your chances of winning.
Betting and gambling are the same thing but I think the term betting is often being used in sports while I often see the term gambling in casino games but both of them are fun and highly addictive so one must be cautious and always read tips online on how to avoid it.

We can also seek advices locally from our friends or family as they might have more experience than us. If all what we want is to enjoy then it's fine to play any game that you don't have a knowledge with. Their randomness can sometimes add more fun but if all what we want is to possibly win a profit then it's best to play the game that you know really well preferably sports betting.

It is very certain that there are some sport that do favour us well compared to other sports that we may bet on and noy make a good profits from it. We might be good in a particular sport when it comes to predictions and others might choke us when it comes to winning some profits. If we look at sport bet, there are many gamblers that find it easy to predict some matches and make winnings because it is very certain for them that a particular team will beat it opponent.

I know people that can easily make predictions on boxing and they will surely make winnings because they know that a particular  boxer will sire beat it opponent without think twice. Sometimes they take there time making research on the fight history of the boxer the prefer to compare the probability of winning the opponent.

Personally, I love to watch a lot of sports, including basketball (local and international), soccer, and boxing.

However, when it comes to risk exposure in betting, I only choose one sport to bet the bigger percentage of my bankroll. In my case, it's basketball sports betting. It's not that I don't enjoy watching other sports, but based on my evaluation, I am more profitable in basketball betting.

As real sports bettors, we value profit over fun, so we should choose a sport where we are profitable.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
For a simple explanation, focusing on one sport is enough for sports betting. However, if you are smart enough and have a lot of time to analyze games, you can choose different sports to maximize your fun. The key to success in sports betting is to focus on a sport or even specific games that you believe offer an advantage for winning.

Sports betting is treated as entertainment for those who simply want to enjoy it, but for those who aim to be successful in the long run, it should be treated like a job or business.

I see a lot of people favor Football, because it is one of the Sports that are played globally and it provides a 50/50 chance of winning the bet. (Win or Lose) .... so basically, people prefer to bet on something that are less complicated.

I think the professional gamblers will dig a little deeper and they will make more complicated bets and chose Sports with higher risk options. So, it boils down to knowledge/Love for the Sport/Complexity and amount of people that bet on that specific Sport.

You literally already said the answer in your second paragraph.
I favor one sport because I love it. Second, I have more knowledge about the game than other sports so analysis of the game will be a piece of cake although there will always be times when the unexpected could happen.
Another team will win the game because they are hot and the other team which you bet for is not feeling like it's their night. It happens. Players go through some bad nights too and it depends on how they are conditioned especially in sports like boxing and MMA.
When it comes to skills base, they are putting favorites for a reason, but there are times I love betting for the underdog instead. Emotionally biased bet or I just followed the athlete for a long time to know that he went through disciplined training to win the fight/game.

A very simple reason really, what is the point of making a bet on a sport I do not even watch? Even if I have no hope of becoming a profitable sport bettor by gambling on may favorite sport, at least when I do so I obtain the added bonus that there is something at stake for me when I watch it.

So now I am even more involved on watching my favorite sport and hoping for things to turn out on my favor, but if were to bet in an unfamiliar sport to me, then not much will change, and there is a possibility I could even miss it as I would probably make no effort to watch the sport match at all, despite the small bet I made.

I don't bet randomly on sports. If I were to bet randomly, I'd be gambling on dice, slots, roulette, and other similar casino games. Sports betting, on the other hand, is not luck-based. It is gambling with stats and other information at hand. Bets on sports games are informed bets. So if I were to bet on sports games, I'd be betting on those that I am most familiar of. If I bet on sports games that I don't know of, then I'm like betting randomly, only relying on luck for my wins.

I believe that betting on a specific sport is just a reflection of one's favorite sport.
I love football, I watch a lot of games (in person when possible), I'm associated with 3 clubs, I have an official t-shirt and other things, so why wouldn't I also place bets on my favorite sport?

Those who like boxing will do the same... if the person already follows several fights, why not bet on something he likes?

I don't think it's just about making money or getting an information advantage, it's about betting on a sport that one enjoys Wink

We won't be watching sports that we aren't interested. When we watch a game that we've got knowledge, it used to be very interesting and we keep on analysing how the match could turn. At times we used to support specific team and while watching we can experience the increasing heart beat and other activities within us. These can't be experienced with games we don't have much of knowledge.

While spending on the games we've got knowledge we will be able to enjoy it even more. Because, when our prediction is correct we were able to make some earning along with the winning of the match.
Not really that entertaining nor enjoyable on betting into a sport which you dont even know.I havent been able to bet on a sport which i dont know.It doesnt really make any sense and if you do then
how you would be finding it to be enjoyable? Yes, you would win in case but the thrill and excitement isnt really there. Ive seen some people who do have this kind of betting habit
on which they do tend to make bets on games or sports which they dont even know.I cant see the enjoyment with that but well its their money to bet on and make
use, just let them be on what they would gonna do into it.

Interest, knowledge, and being a fan sort of - some of the keys to somehow increasing our winning chance betting on that said sport.

Since we are familiar with the sports, "specifically with the league" itself, we can create a good analysis of what would be the match result should be like. Knowledge of the league is one of the key elements in creating a wild forecast analysis.

Don't always stick with that mindset of a 50/50 chance in sports if, on the other hand, we can increase that 50% winning chance in the first place. Not unless we are talking about betting on other sports or leagues we are not familiar with, maybe we can consider that as a 50/50 chance bet.

Where I live football is king. We eat, sleep, and talk football. Almost everyone one of childhood friends wanted to be a footballer. We could go on to banter on who was the best defender. Who is better Ronaldo or Messi? And then when sports betting began, it was easy to carry on this passion into betting. At least we should not just banter but find an indirect approach to make money off our bantering. So, there you go. There are other sports our country participate in which we can easily bet on but 95% bet on football and you just have to follow peer pressure.
I bold the part that where it ends up why it's easier to have a favorite sport to bet with.

We all know this is a passion to most of us and being a fan of a certain sport makes sportsbetting easier. You'll into little to big details which is applicable when you bet.

Especially in a community that you live, information is from here and there and when you attach gambling on it. Well, things will be easier for you but still not guaranteeing that every bet you make will win.

certainly, it is easier to bet if you live and breath a specific sports. would you bet good amount of money to a sports you are not very familiar of? i don't think so. so the answer here is very simple, you bet on the sports you are more familiar with. and with your passion, you will be more comfortable placing your bets to the athletes or teams. and you will enjoy watching their games as you know the sports by heart.
That's a YOLO mentality when you bet for sports that you're not familiar with. Well, it do happens for sometime but just typically rare when a bettor thinks that he's done with the sports he's betting in and just want to try something new.

But then, that's it you get to live with that sports and you know the whole thing or if not the whole thing at least a big portion of it and can discuss for hours related to that sports.

And even if you lost a bet with that sports, you'll have an analysis on why the team or player you bet with has lost. That's the beauty of it, we become an instant analyst afterwards.  Cool

Aside from familiarity and favoritism, there's not much that could really explain why people choose a sport over the other.

Familiarity is one of the biggest reasons why people bet on specific sports. They know the rules that bind the game together, the players, each team's strengths and weaknesses, and more. And since they are very much acquainted with the ins and outs of the sports they play, they gain more confidence betting on it. Favoritism could also fall in the same bracket as Familiarity because of course, you wouldn't pick a favorite if you don't know it that well don't you?
