Experience in betting and analysis of the upcoming game are of course important for a player who bets on the victory of one of the teams. If these are not fan bets, when a player bets only and exclusively on his favorite team, then sometimes it is probably worth weighing the risks and betting against the public. And sometimes it happens that this is an excellent decision and the bet wins. I would also draw attention to the pleasure that a player gets who bets against the public and wins.
This clearly increases both self-esteem and pleasure. And in general, this is an interesting version of the game, but of course you should not abuse such bets.
The thing is when he want to place a bet, he need to analyze everything so he will know how big the chance for him to pick the team that he thinks will win. He can choose betting against the public or betting following the public based on his analysis because his reason to place a bet is to win the match. Maybe he can choose betting against the public because he see the chance to win on that. But all in all, he must know about the risks when he pick one of those so he can prepare and accept whatever will happen later.
To see the analysis and also the predictions that make, it is clear that everything will show the favorite team and this is the public choice because everyone will only focus and bet on what has big chance of winning, going against the public will be the same as taking the risk of failing even though there is 10% chance of winning.
But I think there are also many gamblers who have random mindset where they bet against the direction, take risks for large multipliers and only rely on luck.
This seems to be true.
That some players, maybe a very small percentage of the total number of players, place bets, what is called randomly or by chance. Roughly speaking, they toss a coin, guessing the teams' heads or tails and place a bet by chance, as the coin fell. By the way, this can be both together with a public bet on the favorite of the competition, and against it. And the choice of the bet in such a game, in general, the player himself can explain to himself as a manifestation of higher powers when the coins are tossed. This can be providence and again God's providence. Such reasons can well be accepted even after the game is played and the result becomes known. By the way, this way of playing is still quite interesting, especially when there are no obvious favorites in the games. It is quite possible to try to play this way, although it is of course risky. It's just that everyone is used to analyzing, and this method does not provide for any preliminary analysis. And by the way, this is exactly what makes it interesting.
