Betting on High Odds

In punting, betting on high odds especially on sports events produces the highest payout possible and, in most cases, higher odds means that the potential of winning the high odds is not likely. Punters tend to shy away from high odds due to instincts and usually pick lower odds to get that better chance of winning.

However lower odds doesn’t always guarantee a win. And in the rare cases, we have seen underdogs doing the impossible by winning some of their difficult matches with crazy odd markets before the actual match time. This is just a small proof that we can really win from high odds.

A more experienced punter usually places small stakes on high odds and uses lower odds combination to get about the same amount with a large stake. Both methods are risky but actually beneficial since we can benefit from both depending on our betting style and luck.

Your limit usually depends on what you view as high or low odd, if you a “risk” taker 3.10 odds are more convenient for you while a 2.10 limits for that “safer” punter and this is usually viewed as a limit to the possibility of winning. Numbers are used to decide this limits and we get to understand how odds affect the games prediction during pre-match analysis. But don’t let high odds directly influence or cloud your judgement since punters have greatly benefited from risky on higher odds.
