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 $1300 on a single bet with 1.10 odd in favour of Barca to win but the underdog won and the gambler lost the bet.
We've a popular saying in my local language that if you want to eat a frog, go for the big ones so that if it kills you, atleast people would know you've a good taste. Sometimes, you'll be very certain that the favourite team is going to win but you'll get the shocker of your life. As a result of this, I prefer the going for the underdogs with big odds, I stake with small amount and even if I lose I won't feel it.
That's the mentality of gamblers that feel they are actually playing safe but they don't know that they are actually just playing right into the hands of the system because it's not making sense to lose your 1300$ over a minor odd of 1.10. for me I think since nothing is ever certain with gambling it's probably best to play games that will give me atleast huge amount so that if the game enters I take the profit and of it goes wrong I still take it as good fate because that particular thought is already in place before the Gambling session took place.
