    Well there are some sports, which are more predictable then others. I mean sports where favourites often win such as volleyball especially international volleyball. And others where teams or players can always find a way to win no matter who is favourite and who is dog for example english premier league soccer... I'm just asking for opinions.

    Look for the value, sum days it may be that favorite and some days it may be the dog. If you are talking about the EPL, favorites do NOT always reign supreme. Welcome and lets get this cheddar

    There is no sport better for betting favourites you have to look around and see if the favourite represent value, if there is a 1.50 tennis player and a 1.50 soccer team you have to see if 1 is better value than the other and should the odds be lower

    Well I guess if you really dont like betting underdogs like most of the public try sticking to at least betting the moneyline on favorites and not the point spread

    I find that soccer has the most opportunity for playing favorites that are in a spot where they "need" to win. I hit a massive degenerate parlay last week largely based on this concept. This isn't to say you go full bankroll on any -300 favorite that "needs" a win, but pick your spots, do parlays, keep it responsible. Eventually you'll hit a huge one.

    I've read snooker is all about the fav. ,also there is a type of value bet in tennis that makes laying odds more platable; because what you want is something about 90% favorable and paying 68% down to 51% tennis and snooker have that if you know the math.

    A 25 team parlay. Hmmm, do you know the mathematical chances of hitting a 25 team parlay? I hate to call bs on anybody but I do know the mathematical chances of hitting a 25 team parlay and I am afraid it is as close to impossible as almost anything. You know when people ask questions they usually want realistic answers. Almost always they are young and they are looking for a way to make money. Sorry it doesn't exist my friends, some of you think it does but you will learn. And I am afraid you will learn the hard way.

    Enjoy your gambling experience, but know you will never win a 25 team parlay because the math doesn't work. Learn the math, I think you might be very surprised at the mathematical chance of winning a 25 team parlay. And when you hear that number visualize one black ball in a sea of white balls and you attempting to grab that black ball, blindfolded on one try.

    A lot of good cappers are situational cappers. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with finding undervalued favs. I think what people are saying is that you can't bet the favs you like just because you like them. You still need to find odds that you believe are not what they should be.

    It's perfectly possible for a coin to land on heads 25 times in a row. And a 25 team parlay doesn't even consist of 25 coinflips but things like -4000 favorites.

    all favorites prices are adjusted accodingly...while you might think a favorite ais a sure bet thats when reality will hit you.their is no such thing a good favorite bet.any favorite at any time cAN LOSE .lika i said the price is in consequence of how much hes a favorite. like bill dozer says the only thing you can do is shop around for under valued favorites. good luck with that.
