We can argue sports betting is about knowledge a person has about sports but at the end of the day, a person who merely goes with favorite, will also get his picks often right. So is sports betting actually about knowledge?
Edit: So many people are misunderstanding the word, 'favorite' here. What I meant here is oddmaker's favorite. Suppose, a competition is held between two teams 'A' and 'B' with odds 1.2 for former and 2.0 for latter, then former is favorite, and bettor can bet on this favorite without having iota of knowledge about sports itself and still likely win the bet.
I understand the payout will be less, but here we are saying, getting the pick right without having knowledge about sports whatsoever.
Hope I have made myself clear enough.
That's roght, we don't need any knowledge at all and still can win a bet on a sport based on odds and that's how some bettors do that with rapid selection for Parlay. And it's our decision that who we want to be, and we can chose to be both or just either one of it. I don't bet much on game that I don't have knowledge but still rarely pick some games let's say if it's free bet and I have to make the bet slip valid or it will just expire.( just a hypotheitcal situation)
