I bet on sports more often. I consider the odds, but I don't deny that luck can influence the outcome. Those who have been betting for a while have likely experienced losing bets with high odds of winning.
So, while we consider the odds heavily when placing bets, we also recognize that luck can influence seemingly unlikely outcomes. While such bets aren't always accurate, those who bet on low odds of winning are also taking greater risks.
Betting on favourites has been my major and consistent sports betting strategy. Although the wins are usually small, they have higher chances of playing out. But sometimes I might be moved to depend solely on luck. In this case, I might follow the high odds even when it is evident that the team doesn't have what it takes to win against the favourites. Few sports bettors in my area won big because they bet that Chelsea would beat PSG, which was highly unlikely.
