Hunting the Underdog: When is the Value Too Good to Pass Up? 🐺

[moetlee]

There is nothing sweeter than backing the underdog and watching them pull off an upset at massive odds. Of course, they are underdogs for a reason, and chasing high odds can burn through a bankroll fast. What’s your strategy for spotting a genuine upset, or do you strictly stick to backing the favorites?

Who is the underdog you're talking about right now?

I will rarely touch a huge underdog unless I watched their recent games and see something obvious that the books are sleeping on. Last month I bet on a mid table volleyball team at 4.00 because their star player returned from injury and the odds did not move at all. That kind of edge is rare but worth hunting.

I usually avoid big underdogs too but I had a good hit last week on a tennis outsider just because the fav was coming back from an injury and the market didnt price that in properly. Timing and injury news can be a goldmine if you dig a bit.

if theyve got stroong set piece stats and the fav leaks goals from corners thats a sneaky angle to try

I tend to lean favorites most of the time, but how do you personally draw the line between a trap line and actual value on an underdog?
