Of a truth sometimes, I don't even check the team that I pick, all I do is to just follow the team that have the highest odds and allow my risks and greed to have the better part of my thinking, whenever I am betting in this line, I make sure that I bet with the amount of money that I am ready to lose, somewhat a small amount.
Going with the highest odds might not be a perfect choice since favourites win most of the time. It will be better to do a proper analysis before placing bets. Taking risks and going for impossible games might be beneficial sometimes. A clear example is the FIFA Club World Cup tournament final that was played yesterday. Chelsea had high odds because many analyses showed that PSG were clear favourites. But those who dared not follow popular perception won big yesterday.
