BOOKMAKERS' RATING

Even a child knows who a passenger on a train or car is. On the other hand, few people know about the concept of a “passenger” in sports. It refers to an individual player or an entire club that is considered an easily surmountable opponent in a tournament. Such teams are too weak in terms of their strength. They are quickly eliminated from the standings. This usually happens in the early stages of the competition.

Many people believe that any team and each of its players is determined to win. But in practice, it is not uncommon for those who do not have a specific purpose to take part in the tournament, and are on the field only because of a certain promised reward. Passengers are in transit, as they have no chance of winning, and they are well aware of their weak abilities.

Bets with the participation of a passenger can bring profit to the bettor. How do we understand this? To begin with, you should carefully read the statistics of the teams taking part in the tournament, look at their games for past seasons. If, according to the results of the statistics, a clear weak “link” is revealed, which does not demonstrate victories and unexpected breakthroughs, then the bettor can safely bet on the favorite. The passenger provides the bet.

At the same time, you need to take into account that bookmakers are not stupid people either. They have a good knowledge of the passengers. For this reason, bets on the victory of opponents will be set extremely low odds.
