You're very correct, whats the need of betting in a sports that I don't think that I might likely win, so because am a journalist that's covering a particular sports or match then I should bet on such sports or match even when I know that it might not favour me there, yea I know that that theres no sports or match that's certain when it comes to prediction but there are sports or match  that we gamblers can actually come up with good predictions even though we didn't win at the end, let it be that we were able to do what we were a bit alright with, it is only emotional bettors that bet on favourite teams and there's no way such bettor will say he has been winning, bet should not be done based on emotions rather it should be by how you think that the outcome could be.
