I can't remember if how many times I bet against the majority. But I remember year 2017 I always betting in the high return team even if the winning rate is too low. Who knows what will happen in that game. And the feeling you won after betting in underdog team is fantastic.
Sometimes a certain team is overvalued so the winning rate is overvalued as well.
I am also a fan of that strategy, less time to analyze the game, you just put your bet based on your instinct and if that wins, you will get a better return.
Most of the teams are bet in sports are those teams that could give at least x3 of your bet and per experience, its way profitable than betting in lower odds if you are not just betting on it blindly.
