In sports betting looking at odds before betting on a team is not quite good because I have often withness something like this before. So ever since then I always feel like to pick the higher odd but not everytime, because even the bookmarkers don't really know the final outcome of every game. So sometimes is good to take risks with higher odd because instead using a lesser odd that would make you feel bad at the end of day.
Everything still falls to how much you can risk, when you’re able to risk more with higher odds, it’s a good one for you but when your intuition is more accurate to the lower odds, it is better you stick to the lower odds. Winning a bit is better than losing big. Betting is a game of luck and you should treat and see it as one because when you don’t, that’s why you begin to chase losses and incur more and more losses to the point that you would lose everything. The bookmakers don’t know the outcome of the game and they are also after how they will make their own money to, which may or may not favour them but most of the times favour them though. Play wisely and risk wisely is the best.
