Thanks for mentioning about pools!
I've been using freebitcoin like forever just because it's been the oldest Bitcoin faucet alive!
You're right the odds are quite fun there but betting has been the prime reason for their sustainablity. Isn't it? Also, if we can exactly pick three teams which can be possible winners, we're sure to win!!!
And TBH, my strategy has been to bet for underdogs. I'm gonna pick Srilanka, Westindies and South Africa in that pool, albeit with smaller amounts.
Smaller amounts because when I lose I don't regret, but when I win I can celebrate in a big way...
I don't know if event wagering is their main source of profit, but they have a model that virtually guarantees them a positive return.
My main gripe with them is that they don't have basketball.

Do you do some serious betting or just some casual?

Casual
I like that there are no minimums, so I can put really small amounts on extreme longshots.

That's okay then 😜 we are both on the same boat.
Because I love cricket and want to make it interesting to watch personally, I make p2p beta with family and fiends here.
In the IPL, I lost nearly $500 but only p2p
