Here's the point I want us to discuss; 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?
I also want us to note that the bookmakers sometimes hide some teams strengths by making them feel like an underdog with higher odds strategies which I believe that caught my guy on trap.
Not to trap the guy, of course the guy should have known which players Real Madrid would play. If he knew which players Real Madrid would play, then maybe he could have analyzed better and made better decisions. Here the bookmakers may have increased the odds by listening to the team and that is their personal matter, but when betting, we must analyze and not rely on the bookmakers' odds. If Real Madrid had played with the old 11 players, then they would have definitely won and your friend's bet would have been successful. Then of course you should have analyzed your friend's team.
