For conditions like this, I believe there are gamblers who try their luck by following what they (other parties) predict when they are tired and confused with unexpected hopes for the results.
It could also be possible that they are unintentionally swayed by what the majority is saying. People may undermine the psychological aspect of reading through others’ opinions, analysis, and predictions. It may make you question yourself and lose confidence in what you know.
Relying on your own analytical and predictive abilities has its own pleasure.
There’s no one else to blame but yourself. If you lose, you take the responsibility and you learn from your mistakes however if you win then all the credit is yours. That’s definitely a huge confidence boost. If your predictions are right then you did something correct which can be again used in another prediction bet.
Also, you will learn more about the sports itself if you will do your own predictions. Though it is not wrong to read some predictions from others as you can also gain insights that you haven't thought of but the upon betting, you should have done your assessment and not rely from others. You will feel satisfied if you will do your own bets.
