New Zealand also managed to rescue their tour of Bangladesh by winning the final T20I by 6 wickets. This victory was quite vital as you said, as they had already lost ODI series, and were playing without some of their nine star players such as Kane Williamson and Mitchell Santner, who are currently in IPL. Still missing their star player, young player Bevon Jacobs hit seen score of 62 runs in rain shortened match to enable them to win. On one hand, however, Bangladesh found going tough in last match and were bowled out with paltry 102 runs, pointing to fact that they are still unable to compete strongly in terms of closing series. I think this was necessary win to show that backup players of New Zealand are good enough to win on their own, as well as to demonstrate that Bangladesh must be more consistent when facing off with top teams, even in cases where they are not playing to full strength.

The only way AI can help is basically just for research and study and to assist in making better decisions, otherwise, I think it's just a waste of time relying on AI predictions, knowing fully well that most casino platforms that operate today have also gone as far as integrating AI tools and bots into their programs so as to have and maintain their edge against smart ass gamblers that think they can cheat the system using AI models.
The knowledge AI provides is at best a guiding light, because in the end, it boils down to the developers to teach AI which way to go and where to focus on and it's all human intelligence after all.

Many gamblers think the team with a higher odd is the underdog, but this is not really true. If you are a regular gambler, it happens sometimes when a team with higher odd will win the team with smaller odd. As for me, I have felt disappointed by teams I trusted most, and was carrying very small odds. What am really saying is this, team carrying small odd does not guarantee winning. It is necessary to understand the team you want to gamble on than looking, and judging by odds. I have witnessed several times when a sportsbook will give higher odd to a team that is most advantageous to win a match, and you can only understand this when you actually make proper research on your predictions, if not, you will make a very big mistake in your predictions.

This is a strange odd arrangement imo, but nevertheless it doesn't makw the team given two odds an underdog team, sometimes this odd difference is just because of the fact that the team that is given 2 odds is playing on the away side and we all know that a team on their home ground has a certain advantage and a higher chance of winning, that explains why the odds are arranged in this order.

Such odd means that the bookie rate a team as underdog, i prefer to decide who is underdog after analyze.

When i bet, i mostly choose odds higher than 2-2.5. I don`t think that i always bet on underdogs. For me, odds between 1.5 and 2.3 means only that one team has higher chances to win, but it is to far yet to be called underdog.

It totally depends on the odds, but it's not hard to know a team that is an underdog. Of course a team with 2.10 odds can still be an underdog, like I said earlier. It still depends on the team they are playing with because is very hard to see an underdog team that has 2.10 odds. However, you can only see an underdog team with such odd when their opponent is not that strong, and they won't give their opponent more than 4.10 or 3.90 odds because they know that any side can win. But the truth is that the odds difference is not always the same because all the sites have different odds.

Even without seeing the odds, a typical sports lover who have been following up on sports for quite some time should be able to easily tell which team is an underdog when two teams comes together to play a match.
The thing is, when two teams comes together to play a match, there is always one team with a better stats than the other, there is always one team with higher total goals scored in a number of matches, that team may also possess the highest number of ball possessions, shots on target and other important game stats to make them the team with a better chances of winning, a team is often considered as the favourite while the other team with a lower overall game stats automatically become the underdog.

Some sportsbooks can make mistake during assigning odds where they can assign favorite's odds to the underdog team and assign the underdog's odds to the favourites, always looking at the team stats before betting helps to discover this errors and take advantage of it.

I completely agree with you Bangladesh Women could have achieved this aim if they wanted.In my opinion Bangladesh Women do not want to win any series that is why Bangladesh Women are losing series after series.Losing continuously damages the team reputation so every team tries to perform at their best but there is no effort from Bangladesh Women to lose.The main reason for Bangladesh Women loss is the weakness of their partnership.The batsmen are not able to face the hard bowling of the opposing team due to which balls are also wasted.They are not able to score any special runs that is why the opposing team is sure to win.Unless you make your mistakes and practice you too cannot achieve success.

Sometimes, it's not based on odds that we can tell that a team is an under dog.  Current form and the current circumstances behind a team mostly affects the way odds are being set and sometimes, a team that is even stronger can have an higher odd because at the moment, they've not been performing really well.

Sometimes, it can even be a deliberate thing where odds are set to favour the unlikely to win and as a gambler you still have to look beyond the odds to make your decision which is going to be completely based on the analysis you've carried out.

Betting with odds ratios like that might not be a match between a favorite and an underdog team, because there may be odds that are higher for a draw with such possible odds. The odds you mentioned might be for teams that have roughly balanced strength, and the team playing at home has lower odds.
In my opinion, looking at the odds, the underdog team should have a fairly large difference compared to the favorite team. Perhaps the Leeds vs Burnley match today could be an example.

What is the essence of the question? If a team has worse odds (a higher number than its opponent), then it's an underdog. It's clear that 1.3 vs. 3 looks completely different than 1.8 vs. 2.1. But what exactly are you interested in? Do you think it's possible to find a range of odds where the outcome is random and bet on the underdog to gain an advantage? You probably won't be able to, since bookmakers have factored everything into their odds.

I don’t think it makes sense to rely purely on the odds here. You need to assess the strength of the teams and look for where the bookmakers might have made a mistake, І think that’s how you can find your underdog. But I rarely try to do that, because I prefer betting on favorites, when my team is attacking all game, dominating, and scoring, it’s much more enjoyable for me than a more or less even, balanced match.

I also think that as long as it is about long-term bullish momentum, I don't expect Bitcoin or the market to experience that in the next couple of years or so, because these years are supposed to be for the bear market, and we have already seen Bitcoin going to $60k, but there can surely be short-term bullish movements, just like the current one where the price went from below $70k to $79k in a short period, but we know that it's temporary, and that the price will eventually go back down instead of going up constantly.

People were optimistic and thinking that the market has finally started recovering and it is going towards $100k again, but I knew it is not going to happen, and rightly so, the price got stuck around $79k, and it is already going down, which proves that there isn't strong momentum for Bitcoin and the market at the moment, so it won't be able to go up consistently, and since we are around the bear market at the moment, we should more downtrends than uptrends for the next couple of years at least. That's what I think.

I agree that it’s a bit higher requirements for the cashback compared to competitors cashback promotion. Casinok is just new so maybe they are still on adjustment stage for their bonus structure which probably they generalized the requirements even for cashback.

As for other bonuses, x40 is still within the current average wagering requirements besides there’s a lot of promo and contests that we can explore.

Me too. When I see the requirements, it makes me feel disappointed. In fact, if you are a gambler who just wants to have fun, you don't need to spend huge amounts. And many gamblers come for some bonuses and rewards. This means that this casino is only for rich gamblers, while giving no chance for poor and even average people.

I just hope they will consider lowering the wagering requirements to help everyone experience freedom and equality. And I don't think changing this is a big deal or a loss to them. Instead, that even makes them popular.

It's just 1 & 2 for sports betting.

So if team 1 gets the lower odd, it's the favorite.

Then if the other one has high odds, it's the underdog.

I have no range for such but, sometimes bookmakers are basing it on the influx of the bettors. I would bet on an underdog that I know can defeat the opposing team/individual.

Ordinarily anytime the odd of one opponent is higher than that of the other, the team is seen or consider to be an underdog because if they are favorite they would not have given them high odds and this odds difference is always about the possibility of the outcome that the bookmaker think or feel but in reality it doesn't always work that way because there are factors that hinder or change this..., that is why sometimes I don't look at odds because odd can deceive.

Sometimes, team with bigger odd may not be considered as an underdog. I have placed game several times against a bigger odd, and they happen to be the winner of the game. Sometimes, the bookmakers can play tricks on the gambler, and confuse you with odds, therefore it is important to bet games based on the performance, and preform of a team instead of making odd a priority. Before considering a particular team as an underdog, you must have considered the strength of the team, probably confirm that the team is weak, and not merely as result having a high odd.

Every match has an underdog and a favorite, despite the odds' difference being slight. It's just a nomenclature to say who has superior winning chances and who has inferior chances. Now you may think it doesn't worth to bet on the underdog when the difference is too low compared to the favorite, and that may be part of your gambling strategy, so it's fine. However, there are gamblers who still see potential on such underdogs in determined scenarios, because they are familiar with the teams and players involved, what counts a lot when doing their analysis.

Nop not at all, that odd can just flip at any time and these kind of games are like 51 and 49 on my radar and both teams can win the game for sure but the odds were higher based on the precise stats on average and other factors but when it comes to the result it doesn't play much.

You call the team an underdog when the odds are like 1.2 and 3.5 that is you know the team is weaker so deserve to be called an undersog.

The error is in the question that you are posing, and because of that all answers that you get that relate directly to the question that you posed are false. You should never consider or evaluate a team based on odds, which means that you can never decide that a team is really an underdog based on the odds that are given to you. Whether a team is an underdog or not should be decided based on a careful analysis of who is playing, where they are playing, what is the lineup and what are the historical and recent performances of the teams involved. You should actually not look at the odds at all before you make your conclusion, because they will make you biased and you will make false conclusions.

What does it mean pays out the most? That definition is false in its inception. If there is a .10 difference in the odds, that means that the one with the higher odds is the "underdog"? Nonsense, that means that they are equally matched with a slight preference for one team over the other for whatever reason. You can never decide what side is the real underdog based from odds, they are many ways by which odds are calculated and presented -- and none of them include "is this team the underdog? give them this odds".

The odds are too close to actually call the team an underdog because even the odds that are being set up by the bookmakers sometimes are totally not sure of what the outcome will be because there are so many things that can make the balance of a football match change and most of the times some of these things are not planned for example injury and even red card so there is no certainty at all.

Well this whole underdog stuff have different meaning to different people. For example a person like me may see an underdog as a weak team over its opponent. But the problem is that the odd is calculated in a way that sometimes the team we chose to be the underdog become the strong team. In nutshell most time strong team apears to look like underdog  when they are not, except the final result is out. What I can say is that people chose underdog base on small odd vs big odd but the underdog is know when the game has ended.

At one of the casinos I played on (I won’t mention its name) there was a bonus for making your first deposit. But to receive that bonus, you had to place bets totaling an amount that far exceeded my deposit, so I immediately understood that I will not receive this bonus. It seems to me that any wagering requirements higher than 2x shouldn’t be seen as something worth spending your time on.

What is this 40x requirement, where did it come from and what bonus are we talking about?

I think this is just an opinion question.  Certainly a team that has worse odds is by definition the underdog, but I do agree that I wouldn't call a team an underdog just because the odds are a little different.  For me, it would have to be them going up against all odds...  Like Minnesota tonight with Anthony Edwards out injured.  So to each their own. 

Well, there are things we take for granted... the odds tell a story, so that’s essential. Then it’s like reading a language, in this case, the language of the odds. So you have to understand the narrative each match is telling you—the one the bookmaker (casino) interprets and presents to us.

That metaphor basically means reading probabilities in ranges. For example, with odds of 1.5, one team is a heavy favorite, yes, but it depends on the odds of the opposing team. In other words, a team’s odds only make sense when compared to its rival’s—and that’s what shapes your analysis.

You are right, so for long-term investment, Bitcoin should be chosen, not any shitcoin. And for this, you do not need to acquire perfect knowledge or earn a degree, but rather basic knowledge and discretionary funds according to your ability are needed. Those who give various excuses to invest are basically skeptical of Bitcoin. Investment is not a matter of force, but investment is trying to increase your money in the future according to your ability. Therefore, understanding your ability and taking risks accordingly is initially enough knowledge to invest in Bitcoin.

Except on the particular bonus that he mentioned which is the cashback. Casino like Betpanda has a up to 15% cashback on their games while it doesn’t have a wagering requirements to withdraw the bonus amount.

I agree on other regular bonus such as deposit, welcome bonus and other non cashback related because it frequently gives extra bonus from balance compared to cashback that based on losses.

It’s understandable to apply high wagering requirements on cashback if they give back 100% or more on losses.

Such wagering requirements for bonuses are standard, and it’s worth noting that many other gambling platforms featured on this forum have the same or similar requirements. Of course, from a mathematical standpoint, such requirements aren’t very appealing to users, since with 40x wagering requirements, users will lose more than they gain from the bonus.

We can't get all perfect knowledge if we haven't started investing in BTC moreover i doubt if there is such as perfect knowledge in bitcoin investment all we need to get started with our investment is having some basic knowledge of bitcoin and also having some discretionary income, there are more buying opportunity to miss out while waiting for the perfect knowledge and also while waiting for the perfect knowledge the money kept for your investment can be use out for some unnecessary stuffs. Secondly you can be more specific on the kind of coin you are talking about you can either call bitcoin or shitcoin and not cryptocurrency.

We’re currently updating our KYC/AML page to include a dedicated section where this will be explained clearly in detail — specifically outlining that KYC requirements apply to fiat users, while crypto users can operate without mandatory verification unless triggered by risk factors.

This should remove any confusion and make everything fully transparent going forward.

-----------------


The reason for this is that certain mini games (like dice) can be used with very low-risk strategies to cycle large volume and meet requirements with minimal loss, which can be used to exploit bonuses or promotions.

For example, some players repeatedly bet at very low multipliers (like 1.01), where losses are rare, allowing them to farm wagering, VIP points, or promotions while avoiding real risk.

That said, we’re actively working on improving this and adding more games to the allowed group, including mini games, to keep a better balance between fairness and user experience.

Thanks for your kind words , we are preparing exclusive bonus for bitcointalk

Just to clarify, we’re not saying that playing original/mini games is fraudulent by itself. The issue comes from how certain players use them — for example, repeatedly depositing, playing very low-risk strategies (like 1.01 bets), cycling volume, and withdrawing with minimal exposure. When this is done systematically, it can be used to bypass wagering logic, farm VIP systems, or in some cases raise AML concerns.

That’s the main reason behind the current setup — it’s more about preventing this type of behavior than limiting normal gameplay.

That said, we’re already reviewing this and working on adjustments, including allowing more contribution from these games, so the system feels more balanced for regular players.

Thanks for suggestion , we will take it in consideration

Yes, we’re currently preparing a special bonus specifically for Bitcointalk users so they can test the platform properly.

We’ve seen some concerns here, and honestly, we want to change that perception. Casinok is very focused on rewarding active players we regularly provide different types of bonuses such as no-wager free cash, free spins, and other promos, through multiple channels.

The goal is to give users a fair chance to try the platform and see how it performs over time.

I don’t really look at the difference in odds because I usually don’t bet that kind of line. Most of the time I’m into point spreads, so I usually get close to even odds.

Sometimes I also bet on the moneyline, but not on odds lower than 1.70, because I feel like once I go below that, I’m already losing value. For example, if I take 1.50 odds, I need to win twice just to break even. And in sports, that doesn’t happen most of the time. We can’t just bet blindly based on the odds alone, we have to look at the real value. That’s why for me it’s easier to analyze when I’m just betting point spreads, since that market is bigger and more consistent across different kinds of games.

Sometimes it gets complicated, during when Manchester United were having terrible performances, they usually had the smallest odds when playing against clubs somewhere near the top three, at least teams within 3-7 positions on the table.

Normally, Manchester United is a big club and to other clubs shouldn’t be considered an underdog, however it doesn’t matter if their performance isn’t reflecting the same, underdogs should be judged on current team performance, home/away is just an additional trait to consider.

This is called a balanced game and that is the reason of such odds, also it is not correct to call them and underdog as certainly is not the case when we have such small difference. An underdog is called for example when PSG plays against the last team in the standings and that team has an odd of 11 or more compared to 1.15 of Paris, this is the true definition of what an underdog really is. For me though the underdog starts at an odd of 3.5 to 4 as range while the favorite team has an odd of 1.6 to 1.85 but remember in sport betting surprise results are always behind the door.

What would you say about the match between Bayern Munchen and FC Heidenheim on the 2nd on May, do you consider FC Heidenheim an equal match with Bayern, despite sitting on the Last on the table and Bayern on the first, of course with the form and position on the table, they're obvious underdogs, and for the odds, Rainbet has this odds for the game



Even from the odds alone, you don't need anyone to convince you that they're obvious underdogs, even before analyzing down to their standings, so Yes, it is possible to know underdogs from the odds, but the odd difference in the OP doesn't stipulate that the one with 2.1 odds is an underdog.

Odds difference doesn’t truly reflect being underdog or not since it’s just the perception of bettors on who will win the most but in most cases it’s the real outcome based on true winning percentage.

For the sake of discussion, any odds that greater to the other team are considered as underdog while the low odds is the favorites. That’s the easiest classification based on odds available. There’s no rule about specific odds difference to determine being underdog.

Well odd makers will have to find that one team is doing good, maybe they have a better winning percentage against their opponent. There is no range whatsoever, at least that's how I see when I'm looking at the match. Unless it's like 1.01 to 1.4.

So it's really up to how you see it, i mean the odd makers might see team as underdog, but your analysis might be different and see that the underdog team could be under value and so with that it's a good bet for you.

I never consider teams with odds around 2.00 to 2.99 as underdogs, they are ordinary teams who might be given such odds because they are playing away & other reasons. My specific odds for underdog teams are above 2.99, when a team gets at least 3.00, then they are the underdog for me. Today we'll be taking a look at a Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain & Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is given odds of over 2.50. So, are Bayern Munich the underdogs? I don't think so. They're still Bundesliga giant with the disadvantage of playing away.

An underdog is always a team that, according to most bettors and bookmakers, has a lower chance of winning than the other team, which is in turn called the favorite. Underdogs always have elevated odds because bookmakers and bettors expect them to be the weaker team in a given match. But this doesn't mean they're guaranteed to lose, even if their past matches are taken into account. Even if the favorites have won, there's always a chance they'll lose, and this does happen sometimes.

I don't think we should judge a team to be an under dog, or a strong team solely based on odds, to come to such conclusions with odds alone doesn't make sense to me, because there are so many circumstances surrounding how odds are being distributed. Just as Charles-Tim said above, there is home advantage, there is present form of a team, there are so many factors to consider. True, we can say the team with a smaller odd compared to their opponent is a better team, but that doesn't automatically label the other team as an underdog, they might be weaker than the other team, but not weak overall to be called an underdog.

This is not completely true, especially if the home team has 1.75 odds and the away team has 2.1 odds. There is home advantage which can still make home team has lower odds..

It depends.

If a season just started, you can see underdog opponent given 1.5 odds or lower, but as the season continues and the strong team win most matches, its odd will reduce.

There are odds like 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3. Odds like this can let you easily know underdogs as the opponent.
