this leads me to thinking whether do people bet on sports they do not enjoy or are not a fan of? maybe there are people out there who are just really in for the money and they would bet on sports that are popular and they have a bigger chance on winning at even if they do not particularly enjoy them
personally i can't imagine having to sit and watch and analyze countless of matches of a sport i do not enjoy watching just to bet on them
what about you?
This is something i cannot think of, i can't just bet on something i don't know about specially on a sport's i don't know unless it's just seeing if the luck is on my side. Well, i tried to bet on a team i don't really know (Germany Basketball Bundesliga), since i can still bet even the game already started like who will win on the X quarter, and i did win without even knowing who are the players, i just check the previous end quarter scores lol.
Many gamblers if not all want to put their money on a team that seems the favourite in a match so they can make some profit. They necessarily don't mind about not having knowledge about the team but as far as the stats shows that this particular team has a higher tendency to carry the day then that's exactly where they would put in their money. Like I have tried playing some other sports like tennis aside football which I had to choose a particular playing without knowledge of him but just because the odds size shows he's with a better chance of winning his opponent in the game.
