Playing against Odds

Many of the best gamblers know a thing or two about odds. Whether it’s working out the pot odds or realizing a call can be a good bet, gambling experts know about the odds all the time. You don’t have to be a studious intellectual to figure out odds, you just have to love numbers and being able to compute them quickly.

Numbers and probability are fascinating and extend to every aspect of life. Take gambling for example; the bluffing, the betting, the high-low, and the odds all involve numbers. The odds of something happening are always more than the probability of it happening. Take this example, you’re given a coin and you have to guess what the next coin will be if you take it to the bottom of the wheel. You have a 50% chance of getting the next coin correct, but also a 50% chance of getting it wrong. They are independent events and it would be a waste of time to try to sway the odds one way or the other. That would be like trying to get a judge to hand you a two-headed coin. Even if you could sway one judge to hand it to another, the chances would still be 50% each time.

The same rules apply to Panen138. Often you want to bet on an event which has a lower payout, or are heavily advertised as being odds against. In fact, the event may be an even match, or virtually even. The odds will still be 50% either way. Apply this to sports betting. You want to bet on the odds, not on the event.

A friend and fellow wise-beings bet with me one Christmas when I surprised him with a new promotion. He’d accepted my invitation to participate in a $250 free satellite bet at a sportsbook I recommended. The bet was this: We would play a couple of games using our picks and if they did not go our way, we would refund his money. He took me up on the offer, and sure enough, we won both games, bringing our combined score close to 22, and thusproofing ourselfs to continue with the service.

Since that day we have never been able to speak again. There is no keeping the memory of that day in our head. That is, unless we re-evaluate our gambling and take some sort of follow-up. We never go back and admit that we have problems, but rather, we cling to our decision to try the sports betting service.

Many of us have become addicted to gambling. We have all spent time looking at the odds, and while many of us have won, we have lost more than we have won. At the same time, when we look at the teams, we cannot help but have a humanistic feeling for some teams and even a humanistic feeling for some of the players. You could say we have sentimental frets, but we humans will always think of the best team and the player with the best chances of winning the game. That makes us interesting and somewhat predictable.

In order to be a successful sports handicapper, you need to be able to break down a game into two parts. First, you need to break down the players and their strengths and weaknesses. Players come and go, but you need to know their tendencies and if you have the capability, you will be able to wager on their likelihood of winning or losing.

Players can be divided into two categories, the ones playing the team and the ones not playing the team. Players not playing the team, or not playing a game are called dead money. You need to be careful, because a team’s star player may not play or not play the game, and if not playing, may not be at 100%, so you still need to apply your judgment to the question of whether or not the team will win.
