Sports gambling consist of different understanding either you pick side thinking that the favorite will lessen the chance of losing or you are aiming for bigger percentage of winning, all up to your own decision and how you view the possible outcome.
Are we supposed to care what the public thinks when betting, we are there to try and make out bets to be the correct one therefore if betting against the popular choice is what we think will be the best option, that is what we are supposed to go for. In the champions league lately, teams that we did not think can win are the ones winning and it has been happening too in other competitions. We do not have to think that the best teams are going to win always. At times the teams with less chances of winning, suprise everybody and defeats the stronger team and if you had bet on them to win, you get to win big payout. We should be following our instincts and not what the public are thinking. When gambling, there is no guarantee anywhere and everything that we are doing is a guess.
