You mean like a favorite team vs a non-favorite team right? if true then it is not always all the time experiencing defeat and in fact most of them win even though if you bet on the favorite team the return of the prize is quite small but this is an easy thing to do for most bettors, as a simple example if we continue to bet on Liverpool throughout this season we still get a small profit because out of 38 matches they won 25 matches, as well as the favorite teams from other leagues.
But Liverpool had many matches where the odds were low, so it is difficult to immediately calculate the overall result. I mean, if we always bet an equal amount on Liverpool's victory, this does not guarantee that we would remain in profit, because Liverpool lost or drew 13 matches, which means 13 losing bets, and in the remaining matches the odds should be sufficient to cover these losses and still have a profit. Everything needs to be recalculated, without this it is difficult to say anything, and we don't know how they will play further, they can win fewer matches.
