I’ve always placed bets on big sports like football and basketball, but I’ve been wondering if niche sports might offer better opportunities. A friend of mine recently started betting on table tennis, and he swears that the odds are more favorable because fewer people bet on it. I’m curious—do smaller sports actually offer better chances of winning, or is it just a myth?

That’s an interesting question. Popular sports definitely have more betting options and detailed statistics, which can help with making informed bets. However, because they’re so mainstream, bookmakers put a lot of effort into setting precise odds, making it harder to find value. Niche sports, on the other hand, might have less accurate odds, giving knowledgeable bettors an advantage. It really depends on how much research you’re willing to do.

I personally mix it up—I bet on big sports for entertainment and occasionally try smaller markets when I spot a good opportunity.

That’s an interesting perspective. I never thought about how odds might be less accurate for niche sports. It makes sense that bookmakers would focus more on major leagues. I guess if you really know a smaller sport well, you could have an advantage over casual bettors.
