Violence in sport betting

[stompix]

   Andrés Escobar suffered one of the worse sport betting violence because he scored an own goal in the World Cup played in 1994, that World Cup was hosted by USA, 32 years on USA is part of a join World Cup host and what do you think have changed with violence in sport betting.

Man the level of shitposting here...., you tried to make something and you blew it in every single aspect!

You didn't even get the name of the guy right, and yet you claimed his memory lives in your family, yeah, right, not even the name does.
Then what the hell has the US to do with this, he was a Colombian, killed by Colombians in Colombia!

Violence in sport betting can be domestic, partners can suffer, children, friends can suffer the violence of people who lost a bet.
Controlling your temper, betting responsibly and having fun can help the violence. The World Cup is here in again let’s have fun while gambling with discipline. Is violence in sport betting real?

Yeha yeah yeah, the same useless piece of advice regurgitated over and over to create a topic!
Why the hell don't you take a plane to Colombia to teach cartel members this if you're so concerned about violence cause I don't know any person here who shot a player for losing a bet!

I don't think things like this is ever going to end as long as sports betting is concerned. There are people who don't understand that mistakes can happen and players can loss form because they're not robots or emotionless beings. Sometimes players are forced to still play even when the whole world knows that they are experiencing some fatigue due to consistent participation in several league yet people still want them to put on their best performance. Except in cases where a player purposely missed a chance or scored own goal deliberately that's when they should be treated like guilty people else let try to always commend their good works because if it was easy we'll all be on the pitch praying.

Most faces don't really know what players are going through on the pitch and that is why they can easily think that it is the duty of players to always be in form. Gambling is risky and we should not always think that we can get what we want since most of the it comes are not easily predictable due to so many factors that are involved.

Violence can happen in any form and it is true that violence happens most times as a result of losing out on bets and sometimes such violence is very dangerous though. I have seen posts here on this platform where a man beats his wife just because she wins more than he does as he loses majority of the belt and women being who they are, she made a fun and gest of him which triggered his annoyance and gave her a dirty beating of her life. All these are attributes of violence in betting and to avoid these, one must see betting as something of fun and not to make profit because that is what triggered most of the violence we hear of after betting and losing match.

I also read another case here on this platform where a man robbed a local gas store after playing games with the money he had made for the day as a commercial driver. Lossing out and had nothing on him, resolved to stealing and this you will agree that it is somewhat violent because he threatened the store keeper with a gun so as to get money from them a go away but after reaching home, his wife reported him to the police.

Another case of a young man who killed his mother just because she refused giving him money to play gamble. He killed her and buried in a shallow grave but he was caught and arrested by the Philippines police. So the topic matter of this thread is very much correct and is true that violence in sports betting and other aspects of gambling is real.

Perfectly said, gambling is a risky game and they are really trying to ensure that the game remains responsible and good for every one to enjoy, so we gats to be appreciative and bear with them kos the its not easy, but hoping everytime that they will come out the best will not be possible as sometimes they will make mistakes and take decisions that is unpleasant, which we are to understand nobody is perfect and accept them like that helps to motivate them the more.

Violence in sports have always been there although since after the tragic death of Escobar, after he unintentionally scored a home goal I don't think that there have been any extreme cases of violence that resulted to the murder of a player or bettor. But I've heard about cases of suicides as a result of losing very huge amounts and the bettor could not cope with the heavy lose which prompted them to take their own lives. Aside from cases that resulted to death there have been violence in different capacities, we see players fight on the pitch, fans unruly violence behaviors, bettors becoming violent when they lose their bets the list goes on.

The extent some people take this gambling of thing is funny at all, as some might commit suicide all because their team lose or they are getting what they want. And this is very bad, as there is no gain in it , both physically, mentally and emotionally, it adds no gain, instead of them to play they game and leave if they are getting what they are expecting it to give them rather than to lose their lives for nothing and end up hurting their loved ones.

The story is popular told to me by family members older to me almost every time we watched an own goal because the cause of Escobar’s death was that he scored an own goal while trying to stop a cross from reaching his opposition team, it was an honest mistake but a mistake that cost cartel members to lose money.

I don't support violence in the game. It's not part of the contract that a player signs before the match, so if an honest mistake is made by a player, they're not liable to any punishment from the public.

Violence in sport betting can be domestic, partners can suffer, children, friends can suffer the violence of people who lost a bet.

What do you mean? You just made a clear example yourself.

Edited the name, Pablo has a huge grip in my mind when I am thinking about the name Escobar. lol.

You mean the Za za Escobar? Lol..

Violence in sport may have trimmed down from that but it is still there, players are getting insulted doing their job...

...

Violence in sport betting can be domestic, partners can suffer, children, friends can suffer the violence of people who lost a bet.

So what exactly do you wish to say? Some people take it too far? Good morning, welcome to the real world...

I am not justifying, and I don't support violence in any way, but some people are simply too engaged... they simply stop seeing football & gambling as fun & games, and start treating it as if their life depends on it.

And you are right, it doesn't only affect players... that frustration escalates among close people as well. It's not a gambling problem... It's a problem in their brains. It can be a game or a bet, and if losing turns you into a violent person than problem is not in the sport, the player, the bet, or the result... "The problem is the person looking back at you in the mirror".

And apart from the sport violence scenario you just gave which happened many years ago, another popular one that happened recently was the news about the three minors who burnt down a stadium in Finland called "Factory Field" after their club suffered relegation. And sometimes, you never can tell, maybe these teens might have gambled their last cash, thinking maybe their club will win, and when they lost, they had to transfer their aggression to burning down the stadium.

Violence resulting from gambling is increasingly getting high this days, a lot is happening and it’s just resulting from frustration and uncontrollable emotions. The highest form of violence that I can’t think of which I just read recently is an Arsenal fan who took his own life just because they lost the champions league to PSG just this weekend that passed. Very unfortunate story, You can practically tell that Arsenal not being able  to win the champions league alone isn’t enough reason for one to commit such atrocity but there might be something involved which is mostly like that he gambled and lost his bet and couldn’t bear the loss and decided to to End it all.

Funny how those bettors who think that it's that easy for players on the pitch to deliver as they expected them to play if they are in the position they will underperform compared to how those who are playing perform on the field, even when it's the players' profession it's not really easy on them like we expect from them.

Violence in sport may have trimmed down from that but it is still there, players are getting insulted doing their job, Rashford and Saka has suffered it when England lost in the euro final on penalties, Chukwueze suffered it when he missed a penalty in the Afcon nations cup semifinal. All these may not be completely because those doing it bet but some of them would have likely place a bet and lose then they become irritated.

If you are a sports player, you have to have thick skin because football supporters are very easy to forget things and the ones who like you today can easily forget tomorrow and start criticizing you.
 Just know that sometimes their insults is based on passion and their love for the sport more than it is based on hate for you. Passion motivates people differently.

Sometimes when I see gamblers  shouting over small mistake made by the players, I smile and Said; if football is easy I mean the game is easy as you thought you would have been there playing like them, but it's quite unfortunate that football is not that easy as they thought so any player you saw making mistake in the pitch you have no right to shout at him because they don't know what it takes, the stages they went through before they were able to get their, and also football is a  very forceful game for that we shouldn't expect players to be form every time, of course they also get stressed out most at time and this  make them not to perform as they used to.

Is violence in sport betting real?

You made an exemplary lists of cases of violence triggered issues upsetted by innocent mistakes of the players in the field and, yet you're still asking if these violence are real. These were all real issues and are well documented, especially the unfortunate circumstance of Escobar.

I really don't know why gamblers would want to push their unfortunate lost to the blaming of a player who's painfully doing his job on the pitch. People has to stop betting beyond their loss appetite so that whatever the outcome in the sport becomes, we still can all go home knowing it was all fun and entertainment in the first place before it became gambling where the chance of earning a reward is made.

This is truly painful. Is any amount of money, even millions of dollars, worth taking a human life? Can money be compared to a man who has a life, a family, and children waiting for him to come home? This is the height of cruelty and inhumanity.

No, it's not worth it and I do agree that this case is really painful not just for the sports and the fans but for the family of the victims.

Sometimes in every sports there will be such case of violence. I also remember Monica Seles, who was stabbed during a match in Germany on April 30th 1993 by a fan of her rival, Steffi Graf. She was just lucky that she didn't die.

But it left a big mark on her that she was not the same anymore after that, the mental trauma that it created to her was too much to carry.

I do not understand the justifications of these people for committing violence in the name of sports, which should be an example of love, tolerance, and world peace. We find the exact opposite, where some sports turn into violence, perhaps killing, and the destruction and demolition of public property.

Regarding the incident you mentioned, it's perhaps worse than the Escobar incident because the motive wasn't betting or losing money, but rather the man was obsessed with the German player Steffi Graf, leading him to believe that if he beat Seles, Graf would return to the top of the world rankings.

This thick skin is something that should be considered a must-have in every career that has to do with serving the public. Both when you are doing things right and when there is an error from your end, there will always be those who keep on criticizing you out there, not just because of their love for the game but because that's their nature. Only those who see players for who they are can love and support them both when they make mistakes on the field.

A few years ago, here in my country, betting houses offered the main football league as a betting market, allowing people to bet on the national football league. However, players were constantly assaulted after matches, and in some cases during matches, because those who lost bets accused the league teams of colluding with club management and the federation to manipulate results. Bettors accused the teams of fixing matches. Things got out of control, and the violence became extreme to the point that the betting houses removed the football betting market from my country. It was only two years ago that they reinstated the football betting market in my country.

Thjs is a general problem in sports but the difference is that the professional sports have a way it controls the players that's why you see the fans go online and rant their angers on players that did mistake. Look at what happened to Arsenal penalty shoot with Eze and Gabriel, their mistakes caused the team to lose the final place, many fans were angry with them and some people even lose their life because of the game. If it was physical, they will be attack.

This mistakes are mostly dependency on gambling. There are people that were mock this week when Arsenal was loss, they bet their all money into the game and now they are broke. They wanted to use Arsenal as a way to make money and use that money to enjoy the life they have always wanted. Imagine if that game goes well, the celebration is going to be massive but it went south and many of them were sober, they didn't expected the game to go that bad.

You are right, sports are are supposed to bring people together in happiness and in love, not to fight against one another or kill themselves over game that will continue being in existence, even though they are no longer existing and putting on this act, destroy ones reputation and career in life, when they would have just accept the loss and walk away, as they are already aware that gambling is a game of both loss and profit, any outcome that one receives should not be a thing of destruction to them.

People can be obsessed with sports which would lead them to engage in violence. There have been occasions where supporters of clubs engage in violent fights which have led to death and destruction of properties. Many people were arrested in Paris after PSG's victory over Arsenal for several offences which include violent or wide celebrations. This shows that football and other sports could trigger violence. People should gamble with the mindset that they might also lose.

[Hewlet]

This shows how much risk it is if you knowingly draw criminals on gambling board

on the part of the players that do not have an idea that a certain violent person made a bet on the game they are playing, why should they suffer for something they did not commit intentionally? unfortunately, the life's of athlete have been repeatedly cut short when fans take laws into their hands either when their team looses or generally because things did not go the way they wanted it to go.

As a fan of gambler, if loosing means that you are going to resort to violence, why gamble in the first place?

That’s spot on!! It’s right to gamble for fun and not to get yourself into trouble or gamble too much and then lose too much money; otherwise, you’ll just end up causing trouble, even in your own home.
What we saw in Paris and across France is a much wider phenomenon, one that’s social in nature, or rather, one linked to social classes. I don’t want to get into politics, but it seems it was more of a pretext for some non EU nationals to start riots. These things have nothing to do with sport, yet they end up being dragged into it because of a few hooligans.

When people are overconfident and bet big in a game, then when they lose unexpectedly, they start to feel resentment towards the person responsible for that bone. In this case, if the person suffers a big loss due to the loss, the amount of resentment increases even more, then they become prone to revenge and try to confront that player and if possible, they attack the player. I think that although such things are not seen much now, the competitions today should be more dangerous.
