Yup, I do that once in a while on random games I have no idea about the teams playing and competing on, I guess it's a kind of a gambler's thing. I see people betting on ping pong, table tennis and snookers all the time here lol

Yeah why don't others want to try it out. It's very simple and easy, since we are just gambling so why not take the risk and completely gamble a very tiny portion of your bitcoins for a sports game that you don't have an idea. I tried for so many times now and I thought at first it won't be fun and profitable but I totally forget about profit, the thing is it's enjoying though you'll just bet small amount.

Yes I used to do that. because the big match normally occur only when the weekend. so I bet on the team that I don't know, it's usually pretty simple. I just chose the team with low odds and make a parlay of the team.

It is called compulsive betting and it is not a healthy way to earn money nor good for your bank balance. I would not dare to wage a bet for a sport which i dont have a clue. I do not usually wage a bet if i am not able to view the match live as i am mostly interested to wage bets on live matches.

we should bet only on the games we are familiar with. I have an experience of betting in an unknown game and just relying on tipsters. I was so confident that I would win this run but well tipsters messed up and I lost some amount of BTC. Lucky I only bet what I can afford to lose though I was tempted to bet more LOL. Lucky i do not.

Yeah right because betting on unknown games is like throwing a dice on a dice site because we do not have any knowledge and it is like depending on luck moreover sports book manage much higher edge ! So, I would rather not on bet unknown games too and would instead try my hands on dice sites.

Exactly, it is same like a dice game, if we do bet on unknown team in matches. But i see majority of the gamblers have a lot of interest on sports, and that's why they are starting betting on sports. So i think no one like to use his money for unknown sports betting and blind trust on luck. Usually in sports we use our experience in every betting.

I didn't know that it always occur on weekends, especially in main events but then I agree because sometimes it's on Saturdays. I don't know about other sports like Jai Alai (?) or something, I know them but don't know how it works. It just looks a lot of fun.

I was wondering if you make bets on sports that you have no experience in?

lets say you have never watched boxing, or soccer even, would you still consider betting on these matches?
how will you do it then? random or will you use a tipster service?

I was thinking about getting into sports betting but the games are countless and i don't know which one to choose and i don't know anything about majority of sports.

No and never , because if you don't know about the game for which you are placing bet then instead of placing bet for sports games you should making betting for dice games or any casino game which is not directly liked with sports games .
Because betting on a non understandable game it is worst to place bet because prediction of winning in the game making always increase the chances of winning but if you don't know about that game logic then , than chances of wining and losing will be equal .
Here the best game for placing bet for me is teniss but a very complicated thing in teniss is to bet on handicap Asians because it is totally irriateting to understand

I never bet on sports that I don't know much about otherwise it's like pin the tail on the donkey blindfolded. You have to gamble on things that you at least have some knowledge on.

better gamble on baccarat or dice which giveyou faster result.

gambling on sports for me can not be done randomly , it is too good to do that as long as you have experience and some stats which you can analyze it why you have to bet randomly? it is like throw your winning chance when you actually can really win it.

technically you can still make random bets on sports betting too. there is nothing stopping you and there is nothing wrong with that. in fact you may still win a good amount if you have no idea what the teams are that you are betting on, or just taking information from some tipster online.
in the end all of these games are gambling and come down to pure luck and there is nothing changing that.

of course you can do it , i just think it is wasting money and time . when there is better chance why you have to do random bet right? i guess those people who gamble on sports like that are too lazy to do something like analyzing.

sportsbetting have a big potential for you to make profit , you just need to exploit it deeply.

This is true because some other gambler in sports does really bet on random basis on which they dont need to analyze or research up thing just to know which team has the edge or has the winning potential.Its hard to bet blindly because on sports you could possibly increase the chance of winning if you know what you are doing.

A big No! why would i do it? I don't want to lose my money on unfamiliar teams and i would prefer to bet on nba,ufc or any familiar sports who im following on and i believe that many gamblers do that the same way to since if we bet on unknown teams and sport surely we got a high chance to lose and we will surely doubt on why we do that.

Though its unsafe and like 99% of people won't bet on such games but sometimes you benefit from such games because you are not using your emotions with the team, like if I bet on tennis then I love Roger and hence I might make a emotional bet which is wrong while if I don't know about sports how can I bet emotionally ? It would be all luck then !

I do that when I'm up on my bankroll by 300-400% and I am bored and dont have a game I know going on. I try to bet on random live events that I can watch and bet. I've bet on who will get elected as President of the United States while I had no interest in it but it was exciting the day it was on.

yeah sometimes you have to do it , bet on random event due there is lack of match . especially if you are a soccer bettor midweek was the boring days ever. force you to stake your money on strange teams. sometimes it's gives you an entertainment too , as it's like throw a dice but watching the game are a plus value in sportsbetting.

Actually true, there were times that I'm betting on some games where in fact I don't even know them , just trying it out. Though it is better and more fun to bet on the team we support ,and to do a quick research on them at least before betting if not familiar to the game and team.

things make it's entertain you more than any games is when you could watch it live and feel your heart beat so it's not a problem at all to do it for once or twice a week. as long as you are really enjoy it why not? it's gambling however, always about staking money on some uncertain things!

There are some gamblers that loves to gamble with the sports that they don't know and that's like guessing game for them and they think they can win with those games. And they intend to think that that is gambling, all about luck and guessing so if they won they are lucky enough and if they don't, then they are not lucky.

If its all about luck and you are just guessing things then why not try dice which is in fact provably fair also and enjoy high odds than sports plus instant payouts .. I said instant payouts because some sites like bet365 take 24 hrs to process withdraws while 99% of dice sites have instant payments.

If luck is what you all are dependent on then sports isn't your thing guys.

There are a lot of Dice sites that provides good provably fair hashes. I agree that it's like playing with chances. You didn't even prepare for anything, even analyzing the teams and of course, you can't do that if you don't even know what the sport is. There is a higher chance to win bets in sports betting rather than dice because in sports, there's always that underdog who's going to beat the best.

Event though they provide a provably fair hash you can't still know that they are using the hash the gave you and they didn't just generate it before.

Betting on sports gives more excitement cause the bet lasts longer then a dice bet that you just click on a button and you get the results.

I was thinking about getting into sports betting but the games are countless and i don't know which one to choose and i don't know anything about majority of sports.

Of course, few years ago i was betting on hokey - i didn't know back than anything about hokey and also i didn't watched hokey games. But i know how to read statistics and i was very accurate and made some extra cash. Just chose game and bet on statistically better team.

That is why sports book have like 1.9 odds on both teams if chances of winning for both are 50% while dice takes just 1% because in sports we can use brain and smartness and some people even fix matches lol so its much safer for a gambler to bet on sports he knows while betting on unknown sports is same too because you can win also or loose also but very risky actually.

Don't put words in my mouth. Where did i said that I was betting on 1.9 odds? What does this has to do with my post which you decided to quote?

If you do not understand what I am trying to say, read again my post with 1.9 house edge.
Basically sports betting has more house edge compared to other types of gambling (for example, dice). If you still do not understand what I am trying to say, I am sorry I am really helpless.

Edit:
It is pretty common and obvious that sports book offer around 10% house edge and hence I assumed moreover you compared statistical data which basically is useless since the sportsbook does a much wider review and then offer odds. And please don't take away the right to speak from us. If you are hurt for any reason, I though don't think I should, but I apologize.

Sorry, i did and i still don't understand what your post has to do with my. I never said i bet on match where both teams have 50-50 chance to win. It's not smart bet if you ask me. It is lucky bet. My bets were on 1.15-1.35, maximum 4 matches on 1 ticket.
I don't know why are you explaining to me house edge, did i say i don't know what house edge is?
Also, some dice sites have 1.9X payout when you bet on 50-50 chance.

You are really lucky to get some wins to wage on a sport you have no clue but i would not dare to wage a bet in a sport i am not interested because statistics really cannot showcase the present form and situation of the team.

You are right but betting on a sport that we don't know is like betting very randomly and sometimes odds are wrong or say ill mannered and you might loose. I though bet on sports that I don't know how they work and what are the rules but that I only do when some predictors ( whom i trust ) give picks from those sports. I never make bets myself on such games.

Ok, what about this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17770835 ? If i bet on statistically better team, than it is randomly lucky guess?

Doing sports betting without knowing about the game or without being interested in sports means that you're going to rely solely in luck. I think I would do it. After all, what's the difference when you bet on dice sites that you don't know what would be the output as well. There might be some "science" behind it if you analyze the game but you don't actually understand the game so what's the point of trying to understand the stuffs behind it.

It's just gambling. No need to take it so seriously.

Everything is about luck at the end of the day, but you can reduce luck in sports betting by betting on the usual winner, but it doesn't always work and the odds are always in the higher risk anyway. Its like the Rafa Nadal vs Roger Federer finals, nobody would have guessed that one.

Well i don't think that just because you don't know anything about the sport, betting on it would be relying on pure luck, no. The difference with sport betting is that we have a lot of information that we can gather or a lot of tips that are available on the internet. For example, i dont know anything about cricket, i can look up tips online that would give me higher percentage of winning.

True, first there are lots of statistics, second bookies will never give you high odds on favorite(of course, they can also make mistake but very very rear, if they do there are also statistics to look at), tips are also good, @pereira4 why would you pick nadal vs federer to bet?

Without having knowledge on the game and you do betting means, It's not sports betting we call it it's slot games betting. Yup in slot games only we play blind games without thinking anything here the result depends on our luck. Same thing happens if you play betting on without knowing games.

And again, if you don't have knowledge about sport it doesn't mean that you are stupid and unable to read statistics.
