Media and Gambling, How does it work?

This doesn't affect me in any way since I know that if it is a real match, there is nothing the media can do about it, it's all about the teams involved, there past and present information is key to selecting the right side. But this doesn't mean it doesn't affect some people, people are gullible, what do you expect? But the truth remains that if the media cries from now till tomorrow in terms of hypes and downgrading of a team for another, "what will be will be." This is not some sort of online market where rumour, hype, fake news and others can have a huge influence over them.

but you know that the media hypes and talks about certain teams performance isn't one that's just random and void of some information, right? We know that it's not good to allow those information play a greater role in our decision on our bets but you know sometimes those also helps give you a better narrative on what might possibly play out in certain game. Take for instance what's happening to Manchester United, we all know that the talks and series of downgrade all speaks to how bad the team has degenerated and that's going to affect whoever chooses to include them on thier betting list. If you're still positive and ignores these facts that's rampant regarding the teams poor performance, going on to bet on Thier win could lead to a loss in your bet.

Thier are different sources of information from the media and some sources are filled with emotion and false information, those aren't the once to be taken seriously but the ones that are of a legit source should give you an idea and a guide on how to go about certain games.

We already know what media can do to gambling and other things. They can gives a fake or real news just to increase their rating by having more audience that believes what they serve is real. They don't think about the real or fake because they only focus to get so much attention from the audience.

That is why we often read many fake news that is unclear and make people panic for something. But the truth is that thing is not like what the media gives so we as an audience needs to be careful when read some news and ensure that by searching for the other news.

Not all medias gives a fake news because some medias will still cares with their audience. So they will work to finds the real information and serve that for their audience.

Gambling is a multi million dollar business. Casinos do not generate their odds based on public perceptions, they have an algorithm that determines the probability of wins, draws and losses based on previous data. Casinos are in it to make profit. Public opinions of the outcome of a bet are usually wrong more often than not. This is how the casino make their money. I’d argue that 40percent of sports bettors do not do thorough analysis of the game before placing their bets, some believe in luck, others simply bet on their favorite team to win.

Yes, I think so too, or I mean I feel that public perception does not affect the outcome of the game at all, it is nothing more than speculation that continues to grow to form a belief, but for the issue of results in gambling of course the only thing that can affect is how good or bad a team is when competing, I understand that there are many factors that can affect the outcome of the game but public perception is not included in it.
In fact, public opinion is nothing more than something that can change a person's beliefs and beliefs, especially gamblers, but cannot change or increase the chances of winning, because it is always confidential.

Public perceptions and the media narratives can influence betting odds in ongoing leagues significantly. The teams that are performing well, they usually will attract the media attention. This will in return, increase the betting volume of such matches. The media will usually set the trend and people will bet on the team that is more advertised by the media. This can be manipulated by the bookies as to how they set the odds for such teams.

Not everyone can exploit discrepancies for Value Bets. Still, the insiders at the media outlets will surely have the advantages and they may take bets that have more chances to be successful. This is why it is always said to study the market narratives before betting on any match.

That true but it will never affect the results and also the bookie will only give odds according to what the team has, for example popular team in League will clearly get good chance and the bookie is unlikely to manipulate because it can harm them when the gambler wins.
Bookie is far superior to us gamblers and the bookie is one step ahead so we won't know how the results of match will be even though there are many media that highlight one particular team to be the best.

I personally don't really care about media statements or market narratives on team, the most important thing for me is to be able to see and understand the statistics of each team to determine better predictions, even though the odds are lower but there are many options that can be used to increase the odds and opportunities that the bookie gives us.
Moreover, not all media news and market narratives can really provide statements correctly, we can't rely on all of this because it can set trap for ourselves.

Yeah, that is true.

But these days it is a bit more complex than just what was printed on the news, or shown on TV, because the Internet is filled with many different channels, and many people follow different things.

It's not as simple as it used to be to have an idea of what's the rough sentiment of the population. Now we have way more personalized stuff, maybe since a decade ago or a bit more.

It’s important to develop your own analysis. Keeping an eye on any late-breaking news, such as key player injuries or changes in team lineups, can provide an edge. Using data to identify trends and potential value bets can be a solid foundation. However, sometimes, gut feelings or unexpected factors can lead to profitable opportunities. I trust my instincts and also combine with research, analyzing forms, injuries, head-to-head records, and other relevant factors.

Do you know what is most important and vital? Not to drown in such a flow of information. You have to pass too much through yourself in order to select a few grains of really necessary information from 90% of the water. You get tired of such a process quite quickly and it takes a lot of time. If you are engaged in betting, then you should be prepared for such a turn of the life scenario.

I remember the moment when I first plunged into this world. Was I too surprised? It is simply nothing to say.

You have a point but the "drowning with information" only takes place in the first part of learning the sport. Once you are dealing with it every day, it becomes natural to know things and you will not have to take so much time analyzing games. Sure, it's the hardest part of being a sports bettor but if you win, all those hardships will be gone when you see some profits coming from all the analysis you made to increase your chance to win.

@Text is right, we should be aware of the updates I think I have shared enough injury reports in this forum in different sports so that other members who are gambling won't go to the trouble of looking and it helps me too so that I will remember the status of each team or player.
Even with all that, it's not 100 percent that we win but at least we tried to increase our winning chance and I think that will show when we check our win-loss status.

Social media has no effect on gambling betting odds but social media can play an important role in gambling promotion. Promotion of social media can shape public perception of league clubs' betting. The more advertisements on social media, the more users will focus on betting on that bet. Here lies the important collaboration between gambling sites and social media. The more promotions, the more users are attracted to gambling betting and the more profit between the two organizations.

Well I see it as no big deal that the media and gambling has some distinctive feature that aligns the both but generally public perceptions don't have much effectiveness on influencing betting odds in ongoing leagues, rather what they do is making sure viewers get the exact information in regards to the game played. But for media and gambling I think they both have  colliding benefits to each other because when such games are played the media make sure to pass detailed information concerning it thereby making it suitable for bettors to gain access to what they initially want.Tho sometimes you might get a wrong perspective over a game but then media has much influence on betting odds.

I think you underestimate the power of social media my friend. Cant it create hype around person and bookies would give a bet boost or special bet, no matter if that person or a team is favourite or underdog? (if we talk about sports betting) For example if we take hyped fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Social media can speculate on shorts video that Mike post and claim that he is still quick and dangerous. Wont it affect odds? People might think that he still has a chance to win. That not a promotion, but a speculation on users perception.

You are correct and we gamblers without knowing will choose the teams that are getting over hyped by the media. The media has always being a problem because they do not get their facts correct but just do whatever they like. At times they are getting paid to do all the hyping of the players or clubs. When you keep on hearing about a particular team doing so well from the media, you will want to bet on them because you will think that they can not lose but when they play their next game, you will see them lose. The media that I know that are more guilty of this, is the English media, they hype their national team and their clubs too much that you will think they can win trophies when they are faces with other teams from a different league or country but yet they fall short of winning when they meet at finals.

Often, clubs can change players to participate in a match and thus the odds can change, so it is better not to rush with sports betting.
But in general, public opinion is unlikely to somehow influence betting, because the analysts themselves set the odds based on their own considerations. They analyze the chances and the number of people who want to bet on each team.

The media if full of hyping and convinceable narratives with gambling, their influential perception is directed on personal interests because they are not sure of their speculations but would always trying to convince you that they have you guaranteed to win if you take their leads.

Nothing special about this media perception on gambling and there is no easy we can explore from it. Just keep off from the media influences pertaining gambling and stick of thriving to develop your personal skills of winning and be sure that winning in gambling is basically a game of luck.

But public opinion can create and influence the demand. Even if analysts form bets, if the casino sees there is a queue of those who have placed bet and wish to make, wont they make a special offer? How the hell then "crossed out odd with "WAS" and new "NOW"" ads appear? Because public influence on that. And if media make a hype around an athletes, wont it give him a little performance boost? Because media, people cheer for him. Wont it make odds change from lets say 1.20 to 1.21 ? In theory it could.

So far, public perception and media narratives have a significant influence on the betting planning that gamblers will make, because the limited information possessed by gamblers forces them to swallow raw information in the media for them to use as a reference, but I think the media also has an important role that may be able to make our chances of winning in betting greater as long as we are selective in choosing information that is indeed a factor that is a good factor influences our bets, so that with the right approach, bettors can take advantage of the difference between media-influenced public perception and reality to find valuable but still critical bets and always do in-depth research before placing a bet.

Well, that's usually the only option the bettors have in terms of getting information around the league to decide what odds to make when betting. However, bookmakers has their own man who's also knowledgeable about what's going on around the league that doesn't only rely on media or any other sports analyst, and that is how the bookmakers come up with the odds they offer to the bettors. Therefore, media narratives and public perceptions doesn't influence much on the bookmakers' end, because they know bettors are also relying to these sources. They tend to make odds always in their favor.

We think that gamblers who have bet very often will certainly not be affected by advertisements that appear on promotional media, but for some people who are new to gambling, they may be slightly affected because they do not understand well how to choose the team they will bet on.

A gambling site will of course continue to promote themselves on social media to attract gamblers to bet on their site and there will also be bonuses that they give so that everyone chooses their site when they want to bet.

Your points are valid and the media is also a way to go in sorting good information but bad information is increasing too. This is why, at this juncture, it's good to define the kind of media we are talking about. If it is the mature outlets where the notable names analyse and speak their mind without bias or gain, then it's fine by me.

What I won't allow is the rampant social media random talk get me, it's not my thing. I go to trusted websites in my leisure time to surf for facts and blend them together for the the purpose of what I need them for. This is more honourable to me than how people do it to the point that they will be tossed up and down by the so-called influencers and others who are just there to attract more traffic. Online discussions these days pisses me off more than it encourages me to watch and trust it.

Indeed, those huge impact of social Media influence from gambling with respect to several vlog or stream promotion by popular personality could gradually create misleading outcomes. People would eventually captivated by promises and so called winning experience through their live winning journey. However, if you don't have that idea of research and you just kept ignoring this basic tips? You're just feeding them with money out from your pocket and unknowingly you're drained financially.
