Sport betting is strange when it wants to be, it never a sure fact the impossibility can turn possible.
When booking a bet many bets on what the majority had placed before hand.
What am I saying betting site releases games for betting and gives an option where you see what others has selected and very often it's the one with the lower odd that  people place bet on.

Last week Saturday was a Turing point for me as I refused to bet with majority(31-8-2019) and placed a draw on the match between osasuna and FC Barcelona. Most people would see it as an unwise decision but that's soccer the foolish thing can turn out to be wise.

How many times have you gone against the crowd and smiled to the bank
Sometimes I do that if I have a gut feeling that the underdog has a good chance of winning in the match, it's very rare for an underdog to win but if you happen to bet in an underdog and he happens to win, then it's a jackpot for you, people tend to remember those wins that they've got from underdog than winning in a favorite, because the winning is huge and you are very luck to win.

A gut feeling is not enough for me to just go against the majority, most especially if the one that is underdog is a huge underdog. I will only do that when that huge underdog is a team or someone who is somehow special to me, for example, a fellow countryman carrying the flag of the nation. In instances like these, I will only bet a very small amount.   

When I go against the majority and the huge favorite at that, I am already more or less convinced out of analysis or objective assessment that I am betting on the possible winner despite being an underdog.
