Going with the crowd is always the best for one to successful in gambling though some time it may not work out that way at some point. Though no one can be optimistic about who will win the fight at the end of the day. Stake to your Tommy(crowds) and let see the outcome at the end of the day.
Going with the crowd means you will bet on Favorites, right? Is that what you refer to?
If that is, I don't see how you will become successful in gambling there. Favorites always have low odds. To be successful in gambling or at least yield a good profits in return, you have to play with the odds and not just will go with the crowd.
