Teams on your personal blacklist

[abel1337]

I hate it when a certain team throwing up a game. Have you ever heard of Dota Mineski 322 scandal Wayback 2014? That is the only team I have on my blacklist. I lose a bunch of money from that match-fixing. I've lost my trust in that team, branding especially on the players of that team because of that. Besides Mineski I don't have any teams on my blacklist, It's just they tainted my very good expectation for them on that series as they climb up.

your anger are double because you are betting for that team with real money but for those that are just a fan of that team but are not into betting they will also feel bad because they see that their idols are not doing thier best , it was like they wasted the support given for all of those years of following them  just because of that one single match  . that teams deserve a place on our black list but for those teams that we support and yet loose but didnt throw a game , we can give them a few more chance and see if they will improve thier plays or not  .

I don't have a blacklisted team, because when making a bet I focus more on the odds offered by the bookies and even if there is an inconsistent team that often loses results on bets, I will prefer the opposing team in betting.
Liverpool was included in the list where I would choose their opposing team because of their inconsistency in several matches and some defeats actually happened at Anfield.
But this will change when you see the team start to show better performance, I think in sports it will be like that it could be that they are bad in an appearance today but their next match is improving, so making a blacklist team is not the way to get out of losing in choosing bets.

There's tons of favorites that let me down recently in the NBA but I don't have plans in putting them in a blacklist since they gave me a lot of wins before and could just be having a bad shooting day. I think the reason why I don't put them in the list is because sometimes I find a bit of value on those teams as bookies slowly shift the odds close to a 50-50.

Are we really just have to stick at those best-performing teams when betting? Their odds aren't even worth placing a bet. 1.2, 1.5. 1.7? Is this your preferred lines or odds OP in ML?

Handicap is probably his preferred markets since he had two underdog handicaps out of the three bets that he shared.

I don't quite get the rationale behind blacklisting a team. In sport betting, you just analyze the odds and each player and team's statistics, performance, and so on. It seems to me personally blacklisting a team is not an objective way to do betting. After all, a team is just a name or a franchise or company. The players, coaches, staff, managers, and even owners could change anytime. Some leave, some enter, some switch to other teams, and so forth.

As regards your personal experiences, perhaps you're just disappointed that you lost your bets on them on such terms. Get over them.

I don't have a personal list. But maybe I have teams that I don't like to beat because they are very inconsistent.

I know that some of the games might be fix, but if there are no proof then we can't say for certain that a certain team has thrown the game itself. Maybe the team are just unlucky. Last time I bet on basketball, I have my team leading by 23 points, but they lost in the end. But I don't see them throwing the game. Anyhow, let's hear more experience sports bettor here.

There are different types of blacklists, what the OP is asking is for blacklists of teams you do not bet for, but more than that I have a list of people or teams I never bet against, those are the kind of people or teams that no matter what happens and how bad they have played a particular match they can always make a comeback, I have lost too many times when betting against them so while I could or not bet on their favour I make sure to never be against them because I know losing money is almost a sure thing.

The reason that OP put there is that the odds are inconsistent which meant that there is a possibility that there is a rigging in the bets and the players are throwing the game. Or maybe the quote above is right, that OP was just bitter at his/her losses that he/she blacklisted the team. Blacklisting might make you miss out on some good bets in the future in that team or against that team.

Even though I personally don't have a blacklist I get your point as I know there are some teams that gambling on them is too risky since they are pretty bad in one game and in the other game they just play extremely good which makes it almost impossible to place any safer bets unless you like losing bets/money.

I don't have a blacklist because I don't place any bets on the teams/sports that I don't know or follow them, and it's just around 4-5 teams on every league and I totally disregard any other team that I'm unfamiliar with, so in a way you could say I have a whitelist of teams that I use to place bet on sports.

[Reid]

I am not much of a person that blacklists a team.
If there is a chance for profit then I'll grab it as long as there is also a chance for a win. Analyzing the game will help.

There are favorites that I can't ignore betting for even if the odds of winning are low.
Denver Nuggets. I guess that's what they call a "fan".  Emotions will always take over.

I do not have teams or athletes on my blacklist as I do not watch the sports very often. If I do not know about the team or the sportsmen, I will skip it and change the channel to watch the other entertainment. But I guess that will be difficult to choose as we need to be a fan of one type of sports or watch that sports, so we know which team or athletes do not have better skills. Maybe you do not have to watch the sports if you do not like the teams or athletes.

LOL Michellee I think you didn't understand what Hydrogen was talking about. He wasn't talking about watching sports LOL but about betting on them... There are some teams which are highly inconstant in their results and some of them could even be suspected of deliberately doing that to cheat and to get money from opposite bets.

[Jackl87]

I don't have a blacklist yet also i am only betting from time to time on football games (soccer for americans) in the big european leagues and i am pretty confident that there is no manipulation going on.
But i have to say even though i also like to watch esports like Dota 2, CSGO and Rocket league i have never betted on those games yet because there i am still afraid of manipulation.
So you could basically say all E-sports teams are on my blacklist

Here you can share teams who are on your personal backlist.

I just added Hungkuk womans volleyball team (Korean Volleyball).

Even odds pregame, 1st set going from 3:1 to 6:25 and next set down 12:5 already again, total throw/fix.
2 days ago Hungkuk won against the same team 3:1 while dominating most sets.

Even worse is Kopenhagen basketball team. I once had them +40 points pregame, middle of the 3rd quarter down by 3 points and at the end losing by 44. -41 in 15 minutes, just wow.


On my black list is also the American woman basketball team. Last world cup or something they played China and I had China +49 .
After 3 quarter the game was 20-25 points and USW crushed China the last quarter.
Up 47 points with 15sec to play USA got a rebound and instead of dribbling down the clock they shot again, of course a 3.
That was the worst sportsmanship I have ever seen., leading by 47 and attending 1 more shot.

"Yay, we beat them by 50 instead of only 47".

I have some,the one that comes immediately to mind is Forest Green from lower English divisions.They needed a win to stay on top and were playing against the team last in the standings and they lost 3-1 in that game.I am totally amazed how a team which had barely scored 20 goals in more than 20 games played scored easily 3 in just one game and against one of the teams leading the table at that time.

I dont blacklist any teams, but I usually prevent tennis and hockey for my bets. As even the lowest odds can always be changed on this game especially with tennis that it can turn the table. However, bear in mind that those teams that has low performance can be change and win too depends on which opponent will be their match.

I also do not see any reason to blacklist a team, and we have to ask our self the question in what context a team should be in a blacklist? Everybody could have their own reason for that.

Whether there is actually match fixing or throwing in those games is beyond our knowledge. What is certain is that actual game results do not always agree with our predictions. Even a huge favorite with as low as 1.01 odds could lose. Sports bettors are always aware of that.

If OP is this onion-skinned as far as game results vis-à-vis his/her analysis, prediction, or bet are concerned, he/she might end up blacklisting each and every team in his/her chosen sports. After all, every team and player have their disappointing moments.

Blacklist? Even the worst possible team shouldn't be treated that way.

Come on. We can only see great odds if there's the worst team involved. A good opportunity for those risk-takers or always playing with great odds (above @3 for example).

I already won several times in @5 odds and above in a Moneyline so no way I will treat any teams, on any sports, as a blacklisted team. But obviously, I'll take high odds depends on my analysis of the match.

Absolutely, I may agree with you on this, sometimes the lower team often win with higher odds surprisingly, so basically saying they are not good is not inappropriate. Sometimes, they win with the big club while playing in a professional way, the major problem with them is consecutive inconsistent winnings, meanwhile the others only slags maybe once or twice.

[TedMosby]

Indonesian football clubs will be on my blacklist for betting/gambling.
we have a bad reputation regarding match-fixing since a long years ago, even the national team did that in the past
easy penalty for the home team. The second and third division is where the most match-fixing happens. too much drama in the Indonesian football league.
you can buy the players/coach to win your bet  

[bitterguy28]

I don't need a List because i only bet when i felt like my luck will bring me wins.

And besides i enjoy having a cool bets in crucial games.

hahaha I love tennis but I hate Hockey ..

LOL Michellee I think you didn't understand what Hydrogen was talking about. He wasn't talking about watching sports LOL but about betting on them... There are some teams which are highly inconstant in their results and some of them could even be suspected of deliberately doing that to cheat and to get money from opposite bets.

I understand what Hydrogen was talking. Let me explain for a little.
If you place the bet for the team or athletes, you will want to watch them perform in the match, and you will not miss that. That is the first.
Second, if I do not have a blacklist team or athletes, I can watch or bet on any of them, but I will not watch them play and place the bet for them if I do not like them.
Third, I do not know much about sports betting, so if I place the bet or watch the match, I will watch or place the bet for the team or athletes I knew before.
So when you want to watch that match or place a bet, you should have knowledge or at least you know about that team or athletes because that is what you should have before you bet on them or watch them.
I hope you understand.
