Hope I have made myself clear enough.
It's more if your experience betting combined with your knowledge. Not every time a favourite team will make you wins. Some time you analyse of the team having currently the best stats so your game will have a much better chance of winning. We don't want to play blindly In gambling because any wrong games will place would easily cut our games tickets which eventually is going to be a loss on our side.
Without properly understanding the games you are betting on, you will end up playing on a losing side.
