The Best Strategy When Betting Heavy Favorites That Works | Make an Income Betting on Sports (Ep. 180)

It’s the age-old question that will never have a true answer: “Should I bet on the underdog or the favorite?”. While this question depends entirely on the two teams playing, there are some simple facts to understand about betting on both the underdog and the favorite.

When a bettor bets on the favorite, they are choosing to go with the team that is expected to win. While this seems like a safe move, it’s not always the best in the long run. That's why we've invited Duane "The Rock" Colucci (Race and Sports Manager, The Rampart Casino) to give us a quick comparison of the pros and cons that come with betting on the favorites in sports!
