I read an article that says in order to win in sports betting in the long run, we need to find value before making a bet. This means we don't need to bet on all the games available because we can't find value in all of them. Since it requires careful analysis based on the information available, it's impossible to analyze every game available for betting. Therefore, it's important to limit the number of bets and make sure that all the bets we make are well-studied so we can come out ahead in the long run.
If you believe in this, from your personal perspective, how do you find value?
Well the concept or idea of the article or write up is quite logical. Placing bet on every single odd on a game or rather a particular match is either in most cases going to put the gambler obviously in a loss, negligible profit or zero profit.
Let's take the three most common bets on sports which are ( team 1 to win, match ends a draw, or team two to win) now assuming the odds for each one is ( 1.5 , 2.5 and 4.0 ) respectively. If the gambler takes a bet on all 3 and in the end team 1 wins the game then the gambler obviously loses 2 other games which if he for example staked equal amount for all 3 he would be in a loss even if it seems he won the bet.
