As far as I know, the collective mind is much more capable than the individual. Therefore, it would be quite reasonable to trust the public and place a bet on this basis. And why not? It is very rare that many people are wrong. Let's not look at individual examples now. There is no need for that here. Most likely, I will personally trust the public than analyze the events, of which there are many, on my own. This is a huge amount of information, which will take a lot of time.

The collective mind can change personal mind especially if that is about betting as we may think that many people already have the same choice. We may easily to follow them and will not let the chance is gone. With that choice, some people thinks that is the right time to place with a big bet because they believe that collective minds can be right and have a chance to win the bet. And that can makes a person will not want to analyze the bet but just follow what the public choose.

Yeah. Of course, a public forecast almost always influences the player's choice of bet. But only an experienced player relies on public opinion in the matter of a victory of a particular team to a much lesser extent than a beginner player. And by the way, often in the long term and when experience, knowledge and intuition tell the player which team to bet on in specific circumstances, he wins more than those players who strictly follow the advice of the public.
But this is already about the skill of the player, which in my opinion is often dictated by intuition, which in turn appears, of course, after a long, long history of this player's games.

Yes, a public forecast can easily change someone forecast because they don't see their prediction can be the winner and makes them not confident with their prediction. But when they see public opinion and have many people follow the prediction, they will easily change their choice and follow the same prediction. We don't have to do the same thing before we analyzes the prediction or the candidates because we must responsible with our money and not easy to follow other people choice. But no matters what you choose, you need to think about how much money you will use.

I don't see much point in listening to someone's opinion when it comes to your money. If I'm going to risk my money, then I'll also make the decision on what to bet on myself, and it doesn't matter to me how popular this bet will be among other players. Most often, bets are made on the favorite, but the favorite will also most often win, so playing against the majority or with them is not as important as missing a match where the favorite will lose. If it will be a mistake and a loss, then let it be my choice, so that I don't blame anyone.

Maybe there is not much point for us in listening someone's opinion but that will not be like that for other people because many people wants the easiest thing without having difficulty to analyze the bet. When they get more information about the prediction and see many people have the same pick, they will just follow without think too long. They think that public opinion will have more chances to win especially if they can see some influencers also say the same thing so that will be easily for us to just follow and doing the same thing like them.
