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.

Actually, this is what makes sport betting amazing. There was a time I saw a bet slip online, the bettor staked a million naira, that's about $1300 on a single bet with 1.10 odd in favour of Barca to win but the underdog won and the gambler lost the bet.

We've a popular saying in my local language that if you want to eat a frog, go for the big ones so that if it kills you, atleast people would know you've a good taste. Sometimes, you'll be very certain that the favourite team is going to win but you'll get the shocker of your life. As a result of this, I prefer the going for the underdogs with big odds, I stake with small amount and even if I lose I won't feel it.

Indeed, even how sure you are placing your bet with a heavy favorite there's still a chance of suffering losing your bet, we just need to remember that we are inside gambling, and even how small the chances of losing upset can still happen to you, though there are many gamblers who deeply assess the game before placing their bets and most of them manage to win with the same strategy but there's no assurance that you can keep winning as what I mentioned that underdogs can bring upset to a heavy favorite.
