I′ve had my fair share of losses when betting on Olympic basketball and soccer matches. I remember last year, I put a decent amount of money on a team that was heavily favored, only to watch them crash out in the quarterfinals. It made me realize how unpredictable these tournaments can be. What factors should I really consider before placing my bets? Should I focus more on team form, individual player performances, or maybe even historical matchups? Any tips for avoiding the mistakes I′ve made?
