My topic is based on those who are majorly into sports betting, we know in this aspect of gambling it is very risky to predict the outcome of any game from both teams to score, over and under, straight win and many more. Most times we bet on the big teams to win and the reverse becomes the result, either the small teams securing the win or ending in a draw.
Straight to the point most people are afraid of compiling big odds and now decide to go for lower odds with huge staking power which is not even guaranteed to give the predicted results. For example, there could be a match between Newcastle VS Tottenham Hotspur and both teams are having 1.5 and 1.3 odds respectively, a gambler may decide to bet only on Tottenham to straight win by only selecting this one game on his slip, what is your take on this kind of gambling, risking bigger money on some low odds with a small potential win and still the possibility of your pick to win is not even certain.
Totally get where you're coming from. Betting on low odds feels like a safer bet, right? But as you pointed out. Staking big on small odds is a game of slim margins. Sure, the logic is you win more often, but when the upset hits, it hits hard.
One thing i do is, if i want to bet on a match i will compare the odds from different sportsbook and only bet in that which offers a bigger odd, 3% or more than the average. Otherwise i don't bet.
