About football betting

[slapper]

You nailed it, folks! Football gambling? It's all about the team, and the house wins if they lose. But there's more to it, believe me. Sometimes, outside forces mess with the team's performance. Injuries, weather, all kinds of stuff. And the referee? They can be a game-changer.

That's gambling for you. Taking chances, fingers crossed, and hoping for the best.

Correct me if I am wrong

I am not a football fan and any form of prediction is still a gamble to me, but I have gamble on few different online casinos and I believe that gamblers on casinos gambles with the casino games, meaning it's between the gambler and the casino, but with football it is different, your bet is on the performance of a soccer team and the gambling platform will only win your money if your football team loses, right?

This makes it more cleaner to me, there will be no tampering of the system or fine tunning their games to make gamblers loses more than they win.

Can anyone confirm if this is right? Or wrong.

It's not just football but sports betting in general. Others sports like boxing, cricket, horse racing are involved too.
In fact there's also even betting such BTC price prediction and other crypto price prediction.
All of these are bets where the casino's cannot manipulate much and is preferred by many gamblers.

[alastantiger]

I myself I do more of football betting that casino. Both casino betting and football betting involve some risks which is loosing and getting addicted. In football, there are higher chances of winning than in casino game even though the wining sometimes depends on the team performance and sometimes it depends on the decisions of the referee. But in the case of referee VAR assist in making the decisions of the referees fair. It can dictate an offside line.

I don't think the casino tempers with slot games because basically they are provably fair and they could be sued with caught in such act and I believe a reputable casino already has alot of losing customers that they might be earning from and there is no need trying to cheat their customers, because they already have a reputation to protect.

I also agree with you about soccer gambling because it looks more transparent to me and I also feel more confident when I play on soccer games and there are times I feel cheated in slot especially when the losses are too much and that's why I'm learning how and when to stop.

What you just mentioned, as I presume was already mentioned by a couple blokes in here, is not only situated and isolated with football, that is how the whole enterprise of sportsbetting works. You put your faith in your favorite team, hope for the best, and either profit or lose in the process. Sure there are bookies but all they really do is to be the commonplace where bets and pays are situated, they don't hold any form of control over the match or the game and are just there to take bets and pay winners. Bookies being able to tamper with the games as you put it is next to impossible, since most games that are being bet on are high-class title matches where  lot of things besides money is at stake and thus fixing will not be possible.

You would never really know, even the matches from big titles can be fixed since there can be mafias who might buy specific players or even the teams and make them lose a game only for the sake of themselves winning a bet, they wouldn't care paying millions of dollars for the fixing of the match since they will probably get billions in return for that.

It's obviously true that sportsbooks themselves have nothing to do with sports events as they can literally have no influence on them and casinos aren't so rich that they can fix matches only for themselves to have an advantage.

Yes there have been several cases about match fixes and cheating that happened on tournaments and bigger games, leagues. We think it's not possible because their careers are already on the spotlight but it's hard to refuse the mafia because they are known to be bad guys. They always get what they want and you already know what can happen to you if you don't follow their orders.

Yes, that is you will be killed or your family. Sportsbooks is an independent business but we never know, what if some of them are also placing a bet? And have connections from the inside. Gambling business is profitable so they do have the money to pay for someone else, only to gain more advantage.

Lol, I just realized how I never thought about how big of an influence can the decisions of the referee can make in a football match, I mean, let's suppose the best player in a team does a diving tackle and even if it isn't too harsh, the referee goes ahead and gives them a red card and boom, he is out of the ground all of a sudden.

That can totally change the game and even if the match was in your favour first, it will become the opposite in a matter of minutes. The opponent will surely use this opportunity in their favour and you might lose a winning match just because of that one decision made by the referee.

[Viscore]

but with football it is different, your bet is on the performance of a soccer team and the gambling platform will only win your money if your football team loses, right?

Yeah, but it's still depends in the odds, though if you bet on the winning team, but losses on the point spread - +, then your bet losses as well. If you just bet straight on the winning team, casinos don't usually put huge prizes on the favourite teams - so, it doesn't look like the casino losses anyway.
When you bet in the underdog, there will be a bigger prize but definitely a small chances of winning.

Obviously, the casino has still its edge even in sports betting. And most likely, whether we win or lose, the casino is still getting the win-win scenario. That’s probably how gambling casinos are designed, the house will always win while leaving the players at a losing end. So even in football where we get high chances of winning particularly if we bet on highly winning team, even if we win we won’t actually gain completely huge profits because the casino has already anticipated the result in every game.

It seems that sports betting can provide a greater chance of winning than casino betting because if we can get valid information to help our analysis find the right team, we can win. But on the other hand, if we can't get that info, we won't win unless something changes happen during the game that can make us win accidentally. As long as the referee can honestly decide something in the match, we don't need to worry if the match is rigged.

They can do that but they are risking their jobs too. These referees are not free to just call whatever they want because afterwards they can be investigated especially if there is proof that they are doing their job wrong. The team or player who was called a red card could file a protest and let the referee answer his mistake. Big leagues that are being televised on local television cannot just ignore this kind of circumstance because it may lead to abuse and we won't have a good sport anymore.

But back to OP's question, you are right, I do prefer sports gambling and betting on the team behind it or player stats instead of just playing the traditional casino games. It's not just about the losing streak but it also gets boring for a long time unlike sports gambling like football, basketball, or whichever sport we prefer, there are changes in players, rosters, and more that could make a difference on who we bet for.

[Negotiation]

To bet on football successfully one needs to stay alive with the current events of the discipline a player should be able to understand different competitions teams and players of interest. There are players whose individual performance on offense or defense determines the overall performance of the team they play for. Keeping an eye on the fitness, form and transfer of such players can greatly help a punter in making accurate predictions. A team is on a winning or losing streak when it comes to betting but there is always the possibility of a change of fortune somewhere around the corner.

Yep that's why it becomes more interesting to bet on football, it makes us more excited because a lot of things are about to happen, we just need to make a closer observation about the team preparation and relationship as well, they need to be harmonious so that the defenses and offenses can be executed properly. It is a long time game and it is worth to watch especially if it is finals of course.

You bet on many things it can be how many goals a team makes, which team wins and who is the man of the match and so on, based on the type of game being bet on. But it is still betting since you are putting your money in for a game of chance. So it is not just when your team loses, you could be betting on some other "situation"

This makes it more cleaner to me, there will be no tampering of the system or fine tunning their games to make gamblers loses more than they win.

What the hell does that mean? No casino that is reputed here has been cheating its members or attempting to rig the system. Would like to know what made you think that way. It is a assumption that many losing gamblers make to reduce their guilt associated with losing money.

In my opinion, the degree of excitement depends on what one is betting for. For example, during the World Cup, betting higher than usual, I worry a lot about the upcoming match, because in those moments I want to win. But when I bet on an ordinary match in the Russian premier league, I don't worry too much and bet mostly for fun.

[Alisha-k]

You’re right, as a matter of fact, In football betting, you have varieties of options to choose your bet from

For example, you may decide not to place your bet on a particular team to win, you may bet on goal ranges


For example, you can bet on “over 1.5” goals to mean you’re predicting for the match to end with atleast “two goals”

With this bet, irrespective of which team scores the two goals, you’ll have your winning

The two goals could come from just one team or from
 both together, in any case, you need atleast two goals from the entire match

It makes football more fun and interesting as a gambler has variety of options to choose from

Personally I prefer to make bets with the same amount of money each time precisely to avoid this, as if you bet a lot of money on a single match then you no longer enjoy the game and instead you are suffering because you really need to win your bet, and in that case then why bet at all? Betting should be fun and be a form of entertainment, and if you are not having any of it due to the size of your bet then it is time to decrease it to avoid this.

Wrong. Since there are a lot of bettors, the task of the bookmaker is to balance the accepted bets in such a way that the bookmaker is in the black for any outcome of a sporting event. They don't even have to be super-successful at forecasting to do this (they are, though). This can be regarded as the fact that the players play against each other and the bookmaker takes his percentage for organizing the game.

Football betting for sure is way much preferable than the casino game reason been that those casino game are control by a computer system and every game you play is based on luck while on football betting you can actually make your own research on the teams and decide through the gather information the appropriate result to get from that particular football match.

There is a proverb in the English language that says, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.", so when we see something from where we stand, we always think that the other side is obviously better than where we are, but that's not actually the case. Every place or thing has its significance and importance.

Sports betting is not as easy as it may seem, and though it isn't totally dependent on luck, it's very difficult to be able to choose the correct outcomes of each match and you need to have a lot of knowledge and experience to be successful in that.

And besides this we also need to take into consideration that people on average are not good at the things they dislike, so not only you need to have a high understanding of math, statistics and probabilities, you also need to like them, and as we know many people do not really like math and if given the choice they will try to avoid them as much as they can, something which is not possible for anyone that desires to become a successful sport bettor.

I am not a football fan and any form of prediction is still a gamble to me

I am a football fan and any prediction is still a gamble for me. Football is a battle of tactics and skill between two teams of 11 players. Sometimes we analyze the previous matches well and predict the results of the current matches correctly, but sometimes a coach can destroy our predictions if he analyzes the tactics of the team that is the favorite of the match well. A mind within a mind, a dream within a dream. Also, football players may not be on their day sometimes. So, it is not always easy to make the correct prediction as there are so many factors that affect the result.

There is something that will always help us in football when we are fans, and that is that if we know the players, we know what their abilities are when we compare the players of the other team, by cakldiad, technique and speed, apart from the Strategies are easy to deduce first for us before a technical director, in local Colombian soccer a fan yelled at a technical director the player that I had to change (they were losing) the technical director listened to him, changed him, the player who he came in and scored the goal and his team won, the director gave him a thumbs up gesture of thanks, then sometimes we as fans know more details because we are very involved in this football thing and if the person plays football then he knows more technical details.
