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

[ralle14]

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.

It's not all business on esports they're also affected now that most of the tournaments are played online and that means the teams are only playing within their region. Currently the biggest lan tournament this year which is Worlds dropped two teams that qualified from their region since they're not allowed to go out of their country. With lan tournaments being rare some teams were forced to release their players.

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.

I'm glad that it did not happen to NBA where the strong and highly favored to win which is the Lakers dominated the series so many teams did not lose their players because of the virus, they lose them because of injuries, that means the team and the organization have set up and followed the right protocol to avoid getting infected.

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.

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.

Often associated with the word bored, even though I think this is commonplace in many people because it is a worldwide pandemic, I think there are no limits to online betting because there are so many online gambling games that we enjoy in various ways except sports, of course it is a gambler. physically so of course there are rules from the existing regulations, so for us football lovers will be a little bored in the previous month because there are many pending views that are ongoing and now we can enjoy the bets we want again.

Even though the sports matches have returned, I'm not sure some gamblers will be able to enjoy them. This pandemic case has changed many things and of course with this new habit it will at least change the game and this will certainly affect the bet in every match. With many of these changes and the current financial difficulties, I find it difficult for gamblers or maybe I personally can enjoy every bet made, because high hopes of winning in this difficult situation will certainly create pressure, making it difficult to enjoy every game and bet.

It's too hard to become fun right now because this pandemic gives us a lot of problems and killing our joy with the sports betting for sure some of us are waiting for the basketball sports bet and also with the e-sports betting which is I prefer the defense of the ancient (Dota 2).

Few sports are accepting to continue the fight some of these are the boxing battle recently AFAIK there is a thread already created about this and I'm glad they still got and set the fight another hype for the sports bettors like me.

Hold your money and wait for another winning wage.

One thing that I bet the most during these tough times is actually esports and specially dota2 because there is some dota2 match always going on and I had zero knowledge how it works but now I have seen so much of dota2 that I recognize a few champions like spectre and morphling which usually win whichever team takes them.

I would love to bet on dota2 and league of legends even after the pandemic gets over and the sports betting market returns to the normal speed because after I bet so much on esports I realize that this is actually the future of betting and the traditional sports are good but it is just some different level of fun when betting on esports and dota2 is surely good.

I don't know mate if we are from the same country but if I'm not mistaken you are also living here in my country in which the Dota2 and League of Legends are one of the favorites sports betting of the young ones aside from mobile legends. Before the pandemic occurs most of the computer shops here are occupied with a lot of players and individuals who finds these games as past times and sideline to earn money from betting.

Yes, this pandemic has an impact on unexpected things and makes every sporting match less enjoyable, especially on betting because it is difficult to predict.
and sports matches, so I often miss, because sports betting during the pandemic is difficult to win and cannot be enjoyed.

[tabas]

especially on betting because it is difficult to predict.

IMHO, there's no difference w/ or w/o pandemic still most of the games are unpredictable. I don't think that this pandemic made betting harder.
There's nothing have changed since the day we've been betting. Odds, rosters, team issues, management, injuries, they haven't changed except that there's this pandemic in the midst of any match.

That is true I have seen the NBA and that was a very exciting championship series I don't see it being different if there is no pandemic, well I guess these players are professionals, they will play under any condition because that's where they are paid for and of course they know that they have fans watching at home and cheering for them, they have no choice but to give everything they've got.

You don't have to guess. They are all professionals.
They wouldn't get in to the league if they are not professionals. They are professional athletes, basketball players and been through a lot before being selected.

Agree, they have been through a lot of trials and experience before being a professional player in a popular league. A professional player or an athlete player will do everything on their ability to win and experience and sports battle. Pandemic isn't a hindrance to a player, and besides protocols are implemented to avoid cases of COVID-19.

They already planned all of the possible situations they might encounter during the tournament and we should be happy that they still continue the league. Also, organizers really wanted to continue this event since there's a lot of profit on this, and the gambling industry also benefits from this sports event.

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.

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.

I think we cannot blame pandemic for that but surely such instances are occurring more and more after the pandemic because it is indeed true that everyone has been thrown back by these times and at such times it is easy to convince players or teams to throw games and make big amounts of money than it was before.

I recently was watching a lot of Dota2 games and I do not want to point finger at a particular player or team but I felt like something strange was going on as a team with 20-25k gold gold lost a game quote easily, I understand comebacks happen but they lost like it was meant to lose after 25k gold lead and called GG which is the usual term for surrender in Dota2 way too early.

There could be some times that things happen like this we know of that which players or team managing them could just let them lose in pro match for some reasons.

Here is my speculation

1. That they are betting on the other side for them to make more money for making rounds or games that is in favor in their part without making it hard to win.

2. That they had been into misunderstandings like not having in good terms during the play especially in the roles that they portrait.

3. That they get upset with the management like not getting enougy pay for them playing in that pro game.

There could be more reason but we could not verify what could it be. Anyway, it seems that reason I stated in number 1 probably be the reason of them getting lose in that game.

Yes the case in pandemic might change the score and affect the game play of the team. Just like your example with the only goal keeper left which could really affect the game since he would likely forced to play throughout the game and without any rest this might change his performance and so would affect the score and will affect the sports betting.

Guess the bettors should have factored the losses of star players to the disease. I think this is why it's very important to properly analyze a match before betting. This's something that will take alot of data, thinking and time to do.  Some probably don't spend time on this because they see it as luck-based or mere guessing thing

[Mauser]

But most of the athletes are fairly young, and most of the corona Infections among young very healthy people is almost always a mild illness. I think the chances for a top athlete to die of corona is very very small. After all they will get the best doctors and medical attention from their teams.

So a top player if really infected with corona will maybe miss out on one or two weeks of games. Sure if you bet right on these games it's bad, but in terms of the hole season it shouldn't really affect the performance if the team that much. The top teams will likely finish the season among the first.

Yes, online tournaments have a lot of problems as I was watching some Chinese dota2 tournament and there were like 8 pauses in a single map because players were being disconnected because of poor internet speed which also affects their overall gameplay as we know dota2 and other multiplayer real time strategy games can be greatly influenced by a few milliseconds difference also known as ms in most games.

LAN tournaments never had such problems because a proper server was setup for the game and there were no internet issues and both the teams had the same speed as well which means the team winning won't be because of the internet speed difference which is happening in online tournaments.

sorry but is there update for young athletes without serious internal problem died in corona?because it seems that there are no news i have watching regarding this.

So a top player if really infected with corona will maybe miss out on one or two weeks of games. Sure if you bet right on these games it's bad, but in terms of the hole season it shouldn't really affect the performance if the team that much. The top teams will likely finish the season among the first.

i don't think gambler in bright mind will bet in a team without their star players right?unless the other side is experiencing the same issue because of pandemic.

In sports games, everything can be at betting in all events, but it is true that we can do that at home, we cannot see firsthand this pandemic, we still have to stay at home and of course this is very boring for us only on sports weekends that are played while the other games other.
We can not do anything before the pandemic disappears, therefore we must be prepared to face and work together so as not to infect more, our homes are safe enough.

Internet connection is a big problem now since many started to use Internet every seconds now during these Pandemic new normal since many are into online activities now might be for online schooling, Work from home jobs, online businesses and etc.that will affects also the online gambling and betting especially those live ones. Dota2 and Mobile Legends Tournament can have Internet problem and issue if Internet provider been having a connection problem due to bulk users and these games or any live casino or betting games is really in need to find a stable Internet provider to solve these issues.
