You are absolutely correct. Observing opponent betting patterns is a well-known strategy employed by many experienced gamblers, particularly in games like poker where psychology and reading opponents play a significant role. By paying close attention to how opponents bet in different situations, players can gather valuable information about their tendencies, possible hand strength, and overall strategy.
For instance, a player who consistently raises pre-flop may be signaling strong starting hands, while someone who only bets when they have a strong hand may be easier to bluff. By analyzing and interpreting these patterns, skilled players can adjust their own strategies accordingly to exploit their opponents' weaknesses and maximize their chances of winning.
However, it's important to note that not all gamblers rely on opponent betting patterns. Some players may focus more on their own cards, odds, and mathematical probabilities rather than trying to read their opponents. Additionally, in games with a high degree of luck or where betting patterns are less relevant (such as slot machines or roulette), this strategy may not be as effective.
In conclusion, while observing opponent betting patterns can be a powerful tool in a gambler's arsenal, it's not a universal practice and may vary depending on the game being played and individual playing styles. It's just one of many techniques that skilled players can use to gain an edge at the casino.

Most gamblers don't practice opponent betting patterns, instead following the crowd and betting with the majority. This is due to factors like herd mentality, lack of experience, and emotional decision-making. Only a minority of experienced and savvy gamblers use contrarian betting strategies to gain an edge.
