A case of the pandemic changing the score and affecting sports betting

[yazher]

That's something indeed you cannot see every day. Damn! that was an unexpected result. They might be some sort of misunderstanding especially there chemistry in the field. Their opponent caught them with that. anyway, this is some sort of normal thing especially in the field of sport. Where the underdog will not always remain underdog forever because these guys do their practice and daily routine too. No wonder they beat up one of the heavyweight teams in the tournament.

Actually one thing that I hate with betting right now being a sports bettor is the amount of virtual and Simulated reality sports going because it is like betting on dice with a humongous house edge since the game is not happening anywhere and there is no way to know how and why a particular event ended in that manner. I was betting on SRL games a few days ago and some weird things happen like service were getting broken too many times and I felt like I am being cheated.

I understand there are less sports now because of the pandemic but that should not mean that sportsbook add just any SRL matches and if you offer such markets at least improve the house edge, because these games are nothing but more like dice or other instant games.

Interesting facts though, the pandemic carries a great risk over the soccer predictions. Taking into consideration the unpredictable factors such as positive test results can change the game outcome drastically and this is the last situation the Ukraine football team has faced. Team games are under great risk still, for achieving the best gambling results gamblers can avoid team games and focus on boxing, tennis, cricket, etc. New normal of sports betting should be accepted because the social distance rules can be a double-edged sword for many famous soccer teams. Ukraine team fans shouldn't feel bad because the pandemic has changed the game outcome, the final score can not be a reason to blame the Ukraine football team.

You know even match fixing has increased after the pandemic because every player needs more money and one such instance happened recently at the Roland Garros where a doubles women's match is being speculated of being fixed as abnormal amount of bets were being placed during that event on a particular game on service break and it happened too. I think while it is good that sports are good and I loved the whole French Open but the fact that match fixing levels might increase is real.

Talking of home court advantage look there should never be a option of home advantage in first place I believe because sports means competition and you do not want to award a particular team home advantage as we all know it is so dominant in cricket to beat a home team for a touring team so I a happy that the effect of home team is getting lesser and lesser even evident during the IPL.

Match fixing instances were present before the pandemic. You cannot blame pandemic for it. Increase in bets does not constitute to fixing but yes abnormal bets can come under scanner. Match fixing if proven can ruin a players career but still some greedy fools indulge in such activities.

Well that is only your feeling mate but Gambling site don't cheat unless the site is Fake and scams but i believe that you are playing in reputable casinos that has been trusted for long time.maybe what you need to do now is just rest in betting sportsbet and just play in Dice or slots 

I understand there are less sports now because of the pandemic but that should not mean that sportsbook add just any SRL matches and if you offer such markets at least improve the house edge, because these games are nothing but more like dice or other instant games.

Let their Support learn about this issue,so the site operator will be aware about the pulse of their regular gamblers.
surely they will do action because they don't wanna lose players just that way.

I really agree if it is said that the COVID19 pandemic has an effect on match scores and also sports betting. Because some home
matches now make no difference to away matches, this is because there is no live audience. Then many players were infected with
the corona virus, making several teams lose their star players. This ultimately gave many surprises to the results of the match,
many strong teams were defeated by weak teams in pandemic situations like now. So it's no wonder that many bettors experience losses.

Sports betting has been change because of the pandemic the overwhelming crowd is gone some sports has been cancelled.
The athletes that has been fired up due to the crowd cheering doesn't feel the warm of it anymore the pressure that has been put in the opponents team is also gone.
I think the only thing that hasn't been affected much by this pandemic is E-Sports since those player doesn't really care much about the crowd since they are too focus on the game and their tournament could still go on.

but it doesn't change the fact that popular games like basketbal,soccer and baseball is now starts to  run again though the fans is absent because of physical distancing.
this means gambling is taking part and the gamblers blood is giggling again.
E-Sport have not been affected because how can they be when they even start since then in online betting.

It actually did and you mentio it already that change happen in basketball sports like having virtual audience. This is far from having an actual audience for we know the audience could change the coarse of the game through motivation to win having lots of fans on your team behind.
Possible too that in gambling many are now doing it online and higher chances that betting in the next game will be like more online because it is more fast and easy way to bet.

We can see on this pandemic what teams are better even without the crowd cheering for them, we can see on who got the best character if they do not have the crowd cheering for them.
On E-sports it's still business as usual they can still go with or without the crowd in fact they have all time in the world because of the quarantine and lock down and the limitation of people going out.

Because of the COVID19 pandemic there is some rules and regulations have imposed over this sector and obviously it make big changes. Few months back we have complete isolated, that cause immediately stopped most major games that's why sports betting industry has severely affected but right now sports is gradually returning once more, and that implies sports betting is returning as well.

I think it is temporary until the scientist can found the vaccine. While the pandemic still out there, we should accept the situations, and we better watch the match from our home. We know that the passion for watching directly on the stadium reduces, but we can not do anything except trying to enjoy the game. Maybe the number of the E-sports audience will increase in this pandemic, but we don't know what will happen if the pandemic ends.

There are significant changes in sports that need to be adopted to keep everyone safe during the pandemic and this is affecting sports events, teams, and even fans/bettors.

Since you have mentioned e-sports I think e-sports are affected positively because they are getting more attention nowadays. More people are currently staying at home and e-sports is one of the ways to entertain ourselves since there are lessen sports events.

Now all sports betting is back to normal and there are no delays except in the case of every country that is applied, but the results of the sport we can know that every change must be there and of course this will be one of the few obstacles they face during this pandemic, which I pay attention in the sport of football we know this game has no delay and i am already happy to bet it is back again after a long delay.

There are definitely changes as long as covid-19 is around but the stakes in the gambling industry will continue to increase and this could affect how you run it.

well, this increase in gambling players is due to the influence of people working from home and there are also people who are not working at home so that many people are looking for ways to still earn a lot of money by one of the ways is gambling so this industry has experienced a very significant increase.

This match went not as expected, but the outcome did not change, but this is just one case. What if the outcomes will change due to key players testing positive and weaker ones playing? Wouldn't it twist the games a lot, making them less predictable and less satisfying?
Do you think it's a big factor to take into account given the current situation?

I think it would also depend on how experienced/skilled the coach that is coaching the team with so called weaker players. A good coach should be able to use the "weaker players" to win the competition. I wonder if there are lots of such coaches around.

The outcome of this game would've changed if the key players of the team that is expected to win were affected more by the illness(and assuming the coach is not that good), while all the players of the other team in the match are healthy.

For obvious reasons the pandemic can have a much greater effect in individual sports than in team sports, particularly where the competition is based on cumulative results over a long period of time. Considering the Formula 1 World Championship as an example... Lewis Hamilton is currently a long way ahead of the rest, and looks set to be world champion. But... this is dependent on total points acquired over the course of the whole season. If he contracts Covid and misses a few races, he can find himself out of contention. The issue is not that people have Covid, it's that some people have it whilst others don't. Sports are carrying on as best they can, but we can expect weird results and unpredictable absences to continue for a while yet.

Obviously. In the case of individual sports, if the player is infected, then he is gone. The game cannot go on. There is no way his point could move forward without him.

As opposed to football, basketball, and other team sports, the team can still go on without their player who got the virus. The games can still go on despite having temporarily lost a player or two. But it is expected that if the player who is gone is the main player of the team, the prospect to win or to become champion or at least end the league at the top spot might not happen.

sad but true that is why team sports is much better than single in our time now,though in the last soccer game i have read here,half of the team was infected so their players cannot sustain the needs of all so they lose the battle.

As opposed to football, basketball, and other team sports, the team can still go on without their player who got the virus. The games can still go on despite having temporarily lost a player or two. But it is expected that if the player who is gone is the main player of the team, the prospect to win or to become champion or at least end the league at the top spot might not happen.

that is what i'm pointing above though they can still play yet not enough to beat the opponent.

They are back but we can't say that they are back the same as the past. We have rules right now and they need to follow them for the sports to continue. It is a big help to people as most of us are so bored in our houses with this pandemic. In terms of sports betting, I guess we could say that it blows up since the games that they could bet right now are limited.
