when you are placing a bet, do you tend to look at other people's bets? does looking at other bets make you feel more confident or more anxious about your own bets? are there any benefits into noticing which are the most famous bets? just to see which one is the favorite or you do not care and you just want to mind your own business?
Why do we need to check others bets? You will already have an idea to the approximate number of players betting on each side by simply looking on the odds value on the bet option.
Sports betting is a game to prove your analysis whether correct or not. Checking others bets is not even related to your bet while it might give you confusion and false interpretation on your bet due to your emotions.
It better to focus only on your bet.
