At some point, that player is likely to be able to win a fight or two. You need to keep an eye on the percentage of HP left at the end of every round to know when the time is right to switch side for your betting.

Pay attention to how each player performs when they are attacking and when they are defending. Some do better when they are defending (although most do better when they are attacking). This is important in order to find out when you should bet on the "losing" player. If you bet on the unpopular winner, you will get a high popularity multiplier, which means loads of tickets in most cases. This is a good time to spend gems on your bet because your gem multiplier is multiplied by the popularity multiplier, which means you can get impressive amounts of tickets! You need to be aware that this isn't a secure bet. The choice is yours whether you are willing to spend gems and perhaps get no tickets.
And also, sometimes a player will throw in the towel out of the blue. One of the tactics here is that a player will tell their friends that they are going to throw in the towel in the last second before the minute timeout so that they will bet on the other side. Given that most people would have made their bets on the stronger player already the friends will gain extra tickets when the stronger player throws in the towel.
