Often people come to betting against the backdrop of interest in the sport itself, watching it, rooting for certain teams or athletes. Making a bet for a certain amount, on your favorite team, or simply on a beautiful high-scoring or combative match with a tight score is an additional stimulator of interest. That is why, even as we delve deeper into the field of betting, people continue to bet, and only increase the frequency and amounts, on TOP games and matches with loud signs. This desire to risk your money “on something great” can be explained by some psychological factors, but there is definitely no logic in such actions.
It is clear that many players are in an uncertain, semi-position. They just don’t realize: they are now sports fans or bettors, claiming some kind of professionalism, and then the result. There are a lot of problems from such a mixing of roles. An interesting match to watch - this is a priori a fight with serious intrigue. This means that there is a large amount of uncertainty and the risk of unexpected results. This opportunity exists in any sports match, but the degrees of this very riskiness are always different. A professional differs from an amateur in that he does not get involved in games with great intrigue. On the contrary, he will place his main bets on an inconspicuous match of the middle peasants, or even on a game from some lower league. For him, the key goal is to win, to make a profit, as it should be, and not to fuel interest in watching the game and the accompanying desire to “raise millions.” It is impossible to combine these two approaches.
It can be noted that all kinds of “experts”, bloggers on the topic of betting, constantly post sports forecasts on their sites. First of all, various high-rated events appear there, those same TOP matches with loud signs. The results of such characters are negative even at medium distances, and in the long term this is an even more global disadvantage. But such content is well received by the public, is in demand, and bookmakers encourage coverage of precisely such events where the maximum cash can be made. Meanwhile, those few really smart forecasters that are published on the Internet cannot boast of such audiences and views. After all, they play at much lower-rated events, but the result is completely different. So you have to make a choice between “hype” and the real thing. That is why there are very few normal cappers, and it is very difficult to find them. Someone understands that posting forecasts for popular events is good in media terms, but a dead end in professional terms, and leaves the public sphere. Someone prefers media benefits, and falls into the generation of what the majority wants, that is, pandering to the base tastes of the audience. So there is a clear watershed here, and everyone must decide for themselves: whether they want checkers or go. If it's more important to feel like you're part of something big, losing money on great sports matches is one thing; if income from betting is more important, it's another thing entirely. There is no way to combine them. Only if you make a distinction, make the main bets with serious amounts on one game, and just watch the TOP events, betting a maximum of “one hundred”, purely for the sake of interest.
