For the new season which is about to start, I am considering just betting on 1X2 consistently on 1 team only, this is like an experiment, but I realize that no option will completely provide consistent profits, I just wanted to know if this is more profitable than the other options that were previously my favorites.

It's really bad for football, only 3 teams in the last year have managed to turn profitable from betting constantly on them and the margins were so small, it makes little to no sense locking that much money there, with betting constantly on Barcelon, you would have won something like $3 over 38 1$ bets, you would have lsot money with Real, Inter or Bayern.
Losing strategy, no point trying!

I’ve noticed that too, a lot of sportsbooks no longer offer some of those niche markets that used to be fun to bet on. Makes you wonder, right? Maybe it’s because too many sharp bettors were actually winning on them. Bookies aren't in this game to lose, so if a market gives bettors even a slight edge or has a higher-than-expected win rate, they’ll quietly remove it or limit it.

Bookies could simply adjust the rates for it to make it less of a money pit in case people actually won on those options, but as with most things, it's just a matter of people not actually betting on those rather than some secret sauce!  Wink
