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.

This is of course correct.
But I probably know from my own experience how much the public opinion can influence which team is worth betting on at the moment, on the player's decision. Especially on the decision of an inexperienced player. All the same, the thought gets stuck in his head that the crowd of people, including already experienced players, most likely do not make mistakes. However, over time and with the accumulation of experience in the game, you begin to treat public opinion completely differently, especially in situations with approximately equal chances of winning and the absence of a clear favorite in these bets.
For example, I now also do not pay much attention to what public opinion says, also because now they have learned to manipulate this very public opinion and you can no longer trust this information in principle.
