I wouldn't want to just keep following based on the odds. seemingly as a bettor, it requires ramping up on lots of updates and knowledge of the sport and how the team players are doing. how am i to do it?
Being a casual NBA fan should be enough knowledge for you to fully understand the game or sport however when gambling you must also include the status of each player and team that will be playing or you'll be betting on.
For me, there are various websites out there that provides news update that I rely on to check the teams that will be playing before I decide whether to bet or not. Usually with enough research you'll find that the team that you'll be leaning on winning has already been decided by odds. Those odds are there to balance out each team whether whose on the advantageous side or not. So basically, if you want to bet on the game without doing any research on the players or the teams, you can just follow through with what the odds are.
