One of the main attractions of sports betting is that with the right knowledge about a particular sport and the odds you could at least decrease the house edge the casino has over you, but that possibly disappears as soon as you decide to make a bet on a sport you know nothing about.

And while there is nothing inherently wrong with such a decision, as each person can decide in which way they may like to use their money, at the same time anyone doing this may as well just play a different gambling game, as they are refusing to take advantage of the knowledge they have accumulated as fans over the years.

Well, there is basically no house edge in sports betting but it's your own choices that make you win or lose, the house has zero influence on the results of a sports game. It depends on how much research you can do and how you analyse both sides and choose the best one, if your guess or prediction turns out to be right, that's great, if not, the house wins.

It's definitely better to play a gambling game than betting on a team or a sport that you have no knowledge about, it's just placing a bet on a Hi-Lo game with a 2x multiplier where there are 50-50 chances of you either winning or losing the bet.

Except for the games you play against other gamblers, every single gambling game has a house edge, there is the mistaken belief that sports bets do not have a house edge as the match themselves are out of their control, but this is not accurate.

If you take the time to convert the odds given to you to a percentage and you add them you will see the percentage adds to a number higher than 100%, so if for example all the percentages of every single outcome in a match were added and it gave you a result of 105% then you know the house edge on that particular match is 5%.

I am a faithful Believer that with knowledge you can always earn money , and in the case of sports betting it is, as far as I am concerned when we make sports bets we always surrender to our decision, or one thing or the other, the The chances of winning are practically 50-50 and that is very attractive , since by winning we are ensuring something of the bet , otherwise it is very different to allocate money only to roulette that we give ourselves to our luck , Instead in our sports bets Decisions are merely ours, and accordingly we win or lose.
