I have been reading through many of the topics on gambling and based on my knowledge of trading I had to think of something that if people treat gambling the way they treat trading will that increase their chances of success? For instance, will chances of success increase if people choose to bet on specific outcomes in the game as the game is on rather than the result of the whole game as many gamblers usually target. I think it will be easier to guess some specific outcomes in a game when you see how the game is progressing. What do you think of this?
Gamblers are already making such bet. I have a friend who doesn't bet on the outcome of the match, he only bets on first to score, a particular player will score, and the outcome of the first half. When I aaked him why, he chooses ti bet in this pattern, he told me that he has the chance of making profits from various sides.
I don't like gambling this way, I believe on who wins the match, because that's the fun in the game. However, the chance of you losing your bet is the same as betting on only the final outcome of the game.
