He said he was confident that Real Madrid will win the game because at the time he placed the bet Real Madrid had 1.40 odds with Al-Hilal on 13 odds. So the distance margin convinced him that Real Madrid would win while at last game ended 1:1.
Let me hear from y'all. What's your take on making decisions by team odds without considering their performance records?
From your friend's statement, it's obvious his prediction was just based on the odds they presented and not based on other factors. He falls under the category of those who consider teams with small odds to win likely to win, which is not always the same as what bookmakers play with our intelligence, and most times they themselves can't even understand how the game is going to end. What Charles mentioned above about players who were used for the match is also another important factor I consider very well while making my predictions.
