When the favorite fails again

[barotron]

I’ve learned the hard way that favorites don’t always deliver. Last week, a top team lost to an underdog with barely any possession. It reminded me that football is unpredictable — and that’s what makes betting interesting. Do you still back favorites, or look for hidden value?

Funny how the favourite failing just flips everything — one upset and all the odds change. I was watching a match last week where the strong team seemed in control, then one second-half slip and the momentum shifted completely. I checked the line on sports betting online 1xBet and saw how fast it adjusted — live stats, live pressure. It’s a good reminder that no matter how dominant a team looks, in-game dynamics can kill that confidence in seconds. Makes me respect the value in watching those shifts rather than just choosing the “obvious win”.
