How often do public perceptions and media narratives influence betting odds in ongoing leagues, and how can bettors exploit these discrepancies to find value bets?
Often, clubs can change players to participate in a match and thus the odds can change, so it is better not to rush with sports betting.
But in general, public opinion is unlikely to somehow influence betting, because the analysts themselves set the odds based on their own considerations. They analyze the chances and the number of people who want to bet on each team.
