Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience?

[maydna]

~snip~

I think players will have more focus on their game. Because the shouting of the audience, the pressure (if there's any) are factors that somehow affect their performance. If they are alone in the court, they can focus more on their game. I don't know what kind of effect will it be to the players having a silent background while playing. So we will not be talking home court advantage for the time being.

Yes, that is right. Perhaps, they will lose shouting from the audience, but that is what happens now in the middle of this pandemic. The players will not be alone because the other players will have the same experience with them, and it is better they give the spectacular show to the audience at their home.

Perhaps, we don't know what is the effect because we are not in those places, but they lose the moment when their fans are yelling to give more spirit to them. But I am sure if the pandemic ends, they will have normal situations as before. Meanwhile, they need to enjoy what is going on in that place.

Yes, sports personals have to adapt to the situation if this pandemic get more longer without any solution.But for now, making people enter into the stadiums no matter after any kind of test because people has risk of getting infected by covid 19.

Before people enter the stadiums, people need to be tested to make sure if they are really healthy because in the stadium will gather many people. Perhaps, the people will have social distancing in every chair so that can prevent the virus spreads too.

That's the new normal, something that we have to get used to while we are still under this covid-19 pandemic.
Don't expect that we can have the same experience before because it's really different now, it's even a blessing that soon we will once again enjoy watching our favorite games live in TV. For bettors like me, it's not really a big deal though, what's important is odds are available and I can bet.

Nah, there's always a different pleasure by watching it live in front of you vs watching it in TV. The crowd cheering, the fans yelling to their favorite team, you can feel the heat of their voices near you compared to the voice only in TV. It's really something that would boost someone's heart, but sadly, we will have to face this new normal since we are still under the threat of the pandemic.

While there is no doubt that a live audience does have an effect on the away team and even the referees it is not the only one, to begin with the away team needs to travel and stay in a place foreign to them, they train in other installations and they are not close to their families and all of that will still be a factor without a live audience.

When it comes to the odds given by the casino I think they will have to lower the importance of home advantage on their calculations but this should be trivial for them.

[hahay]

There will be no advantage anymore, it's up to the players to motivate himself, every player pick their momentum and motivation to the crowds but it's now different we are in a new normal and they should learn how to motivate themselves and comes out with a great game despite the absence of the crowd.

But it should be like that for professional players to be able to motivate themselves without having to depend on other people and / or spectators, as sometimes happens before when a team is being punished and some of them are about playing without an audience and they at least have experienced it and in NEW NORMAL times like this should not be a barrier for them or players to keep their spirits up in each match.

The time needed for the accurate results of COVID 19 takes more than 19 hours with the current technology we have and also cost for each test will be more than $100 so literally it is not possible.We can check them via thermal scanner which is fast but nowadays 90% of corona positive patients are asymptomatic so people can pass the thermal tests but can be a cause for the clusters.

Well, that is still debatable until now and someone big believer in the phenomena of home-court advantage or not, --but for me, it does not exist because it all matters to the players or in each team. But let us assume and if ever there is, perhaps does not matter on the audience, it matters how they practice by the home court that gives them motivate themselves against from their opponent. Perhaps, it is tough to determine how the team successful in home-court advantage, that can be attributed to the fans as a live audience.

We wont really have any choice but to deal with the new normal that we are facing on because if we would force it out for these events to proceed then we do know the risk that it can cause.

We should really embrace the new normal and also even if you do refuse into yourself , you would still have any choice but to deal with this one since this is the new system now.

I agree that having real life audience is totally different compared to none, you can feel out the in game thrill via those cheers etc. and now we are on the different situation

which do really changed up everything.

We are left with no choice, the only option of the players now is just to play safely and play without a crowd, it's better than not seeing them at all.
I know they aren't happy with this too but that is their job and if they won't play they won't make money, also I believe that some wants to see a live action and be in the crowd but as for me, I am not used to going in the venue even before the pandemic but I am a constant bettor who bet regularly.

What do you think, does this home-court advantage, still an advantage now? Do you think Moneyline odds will now be different from now on especially if both teams are equal in strength?

Home court advantage still exist.

1.  They are familiar with the place.
2.  They don't have to have a long trip for the match so they are kinda not stressed out due to the effect of long trip.
3.  There is no feeling of awkwardness or uneasy because as said, they are familiar with every corner of the court.  Feeling of awkwardness because of having no audience of course is an exemption.

Good point(s). I think, just by being in your own court gives you the edge. You usually practice there so you know where your good spot is. You know the place very well, that is familiarity.

Well, let's admit that the audience plays a huge factor in one's gameplay. But for the safety of everyone, the players should get used to play without a huge crowd. Besides, there's social media so they can still feel their fans' support before, during, and after the game.

19 hours? That is almost a day. I hope that the results don't have wait too long so people can know the result as soon as possible, and the cost can be reduced. Checking via thermal scanner will not give any result except to know how hot your body.

We don't know who is the asymptomatic people which contain Covid-19 which visiting the stadium because the result can't come out fast. Perhaps, the promoter needs another way to prevent from the asymptomatic people because they don't want to miss that. Or the worst decision will be the game will no live audience.

Some asymptomatic people have indications by hand and foot fingers like a red rash and swollen, almost like frostbite. Maybe the promoter also checking beside the temperature of the audience. it's just Another possibility to avoid new cluster on stadium. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/01/health/coronavirus-covid-toe.html

Home court Advantage is seen to have that passive result in the past before COVID-19 but at this time, I don't see any chances it contributed about since only a few were there to witness and shout. And that how could it change the aura of best players to dance on the floor without a single shout to hear but just only their teammates.

although the presence of the audience gives a lot of morale to the players. but, home-court advantage is not just about the audience. even without an audience playing in a competition in the same environment where you trained every day gives you an advantage. there is a lot of things that give a team an advantage when playing at their home court and losing the audience support doesn't negate the other existing home-court advantages.

It's not only the audience that gives them a home-court advantage because there is still a lot of factors in that advantage. Now that making crowd is still not allowed, they should practice getting used to that vibe when playing with less cheer and noise from fans. It may be new for the players but that does not mean that they lost fans, fans will still be there supporting them but not just physically because of the pandemic.

As long as everyone is safe, that's what matters the most because the virus is a big threat to the health of everyone. There is still a home-court advantage, it's just that the advantage decreases because of the lack of fans. But players can still play well if they are in proper and good condition.

Having no audience at all is better than getting infected. Almost everyone needs to make an adjustment not just the sports industry, business, gambling and etc., everyone has to adjust to the new normal. I guess this is for the best instead of totally putting all sports event on hold, this will be the best alternative. We have no choice but to watch our favorite sports via live telecast. I don't mind watching sports on-screen than risking my health getting infected even with the precautionary measures.

Perhaps, that can be a sign to found the infected people, but I think that is not the case for Covid-19 because the first thing the paramedic will check is the temperature which can the sign for Covid-19. Checking the temperature for every audience is a must, and if the paramedic found the audience will have a high temperature, they will forward to the next step to check with the other test.

No audience will only work for temporary before we can found the vaccine. After we have the vaccine, I am sure that everything will be okay, and people can go to the stadium to watch their favourite teams play and win the game. It will be the best for all people right now at this pandemic, so we can avoid the next infect people which we don't know where it will happen.

Home-court advantage is one of the factors that some sports bettors are looking for picking a team alongside stats, match history, injuries, and current standings.

Not that the team with that advantage will win 100% but the psychological contribution of a live audience really boosts the morale of any players, at any sports, making it an effective recipe to win.

Looking at the home-away stats in the previous season at these leagues at different sports, we can see how being in a home advantage benefited a team.

Baseball (2018 Major League Baseball)
Home team won 1,277 games (52.6%)
Away team won 1,149 games (47.4%)

Basketball (2018-19 NBA Season)
Home team won 1,230 games (71%)
Away team won 501 games (29%)

Soccer (2018–19 Premier League)
Home team won 181 matches (47%)
Away team won 128 matches (34%)

With some sports likely to resume in next month or few, or being resumed recently, after being suspended or halted due to Covid-19 pandemic spread, one safety measure that will be imposed is a no-live-audience, literally playing without audience presence and we can see some sports already feel the experience of playing on that environment.

What do you think, does this home-court advantage, still an advantage now? Do you think Moneyline odds will now be different from now on especially if both teams are equal in strength?

Yeah Audience is a big factor for every Game that happened in Home court but i believe that team will still win even there are no fans shouting and cheering each game like what they use to have.

I have been playing basketball for lifetime now and sometimes in our Court there are few fans that attending because the opponents mostly brings their big group yet we are winning you know why?Because Our heart is Field of dedication and focus that we need to win inside our court,i think these Players will have the same views whenever the game needs to happen because of no option now but to obey the rules of social distancing and no social groupings.

The better team will always win, home court advantage is not a factor anymore but prior to the pandemic it was a big factor that is why if different teams which are both good, the team that are playing in their home court will always be the favorites, that tells home court adds value to their chances of winning.

As a player you can feel and experience it, so how much more in a major sports that a lot of fans attended in the venue rooting for the home team to win.
While playing at the home, it will increase their motivation to win, but as what I have said, now it's not a factor anymore.

And that how could it change the aura of best players to dance on the floor without a single shout to hear but just only their teammates.

Staffs and players are only present in both teams and that's enough to cheer their squad. In this pandemic, you don't need a lot of audience for you to perform well, players should do their best no matter what happen so that they can win the match. No matter what sport it is, players should focus on the game and not on the homecourt advantage.

They should never rely on that advantage because it will help them become independent on the audience, but still perform their best. They should stop that mindset in sports in the midst of this pandemic because it is for their own safety to become far from the virus.

Players should always do their best and aim on the win or success and not on the fame.

Now that they suspended live audiences except for the necessary people to attend. the players will play differently as they've never seen before. As the new season is approaching, I'm sure they can adapt to it after days of playing. lucky those who managed to reach this kind of game, although this is not the usual games we see each day, they will give their very best to the expectations of the viewers inside their home. Lastly, if the vaccine will be discovered later this year, everything will be back to normal again.

This new season will be different, and if there is no audience at the stadium, that is for people safety from the virus so that they can watch the games at their home. For people themselves, they will feel different to watch the game at their home, but they could still yelling like what they do at the stadium. The player will need to stay focus on the game and try to give the best play that they can do to the audience at home. Before the vaccine can discover, the staff and the player at the stadium can use some protocols to protect them up from the virus.
