Violence in sport betting

[Myleschetty]

I hope that no athlete or player will ever go through something like Andrés Escobar's death, which was reported to have transcended sports and turned into a national tragedy because of the violence and social pressures of the time it occurred. Additionally, many Colombian players who contributed to the country's World Cup were said to have exited early because many of them were discouraged, and some of them retired early out of fear.
Instead of pursuing the lives of players, I hope that every sports fan and gambler has a sufficient understanding that one side will always lose while the other side will win.

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.

The violence news which I read about on your reference match, most of them don't have to do with gambling; it's pure aggressive fans who took offence from the loss and how the winning team was celebrating and mocking them, and that triggered a fight. That is also very common among fans, and it gets worse each time money is also at risk and staked, especially with those who are very violent in nature.

In sports gambling, the result of the game can be changed at the last moment, so it is not possible to predict for sure which team will win. We always expect our favourite team to win. When our favourite team loses, most of the fans can't accept it; they can't control their emotions and exhibit aggressive behaviour. Cricket is very popular in my country. Many crazy fans sometimes attack the players and even attack the players houses. In my opinion, it is by no means desirable, as some fanatics do, not everyone does. But that's right there are no way to justify such violence.

That's just a game, that each teams are competing to win, why can't fans just accept it that the game is not a do or die game, the players are putting up their best to satisfy the fan's and if their best is not enough, that's should not be why they have to attack them or their families, violence won't be helpful and just as you said, passion doesn't justify it, love your team and accept for who they are and know they are not perfect as well.

Violence is always a bad solution because in the end someone will suffer from it. People who choose violence are weak in spirit. You should not even allow yourself to think that you have the right to cross someone’s boundaries, even if you do not like the outcome of a situation.If more people followed this principle, the world would be much more peaceful. And if there is aggression inside you and you feel the need to direct it somewhere, it is better to channel it into something productive or into physical work and activity.

I think that in some small towns where local teams play against each other and betting is involved, things like what happened to Andrés Escobar can still happen to some unlucky players today. Fortunately, it is becoming increasingly rare, as people’s overall cultural awareness has been improving, and we are less likely to see such shameful things happen in the future.

Anybody that want to make money must understand the secret of gambling and fans also need to check this out so that they don't have to be supporting their team and staking big amount on them when it's obvious that they are going to lose money.

There are wins and losses in the game during the game every player on the field plays with his best. It is very important for the fans to accept the reality it is not right to make quick decisions based on emotions as this increases the possibility of mistakes. It is wise to keep a cool head and accept the reality without resorting to violence, no matter what happens on the field of play attacking others for this is absolutely not right, I think it is the worst thing to do.

Sometimes they become too aggressive, and this doesn’t only happen toward opposition players but even toward players on their own team when the team is unable to win. If I’m not mistaken, I watched a report about how, when Walker was playing for City, some fans put enormous pressure on him. They followed him, gathered outside his house, and he spoke about how difficult it was to deal with. So it’s hard to avoid this kind of treatment when a team has fans who go beyond the limits of what is reasonable.

[JunaidAzizi]

Yeah, it happens and is very common nowadays. Escobar's death is the worst example, but even now, players receive threat calls, racist abuse, and family threats after missing penalties or goals. Nothing has changed, people are now active and doing it online, and the players suffer the most. They are under double pressure, one from the game and the second from the people who berate them. If they miss, they will start facing an intense social media campaign against them. But yes, it should be mentioned that while half of the people are bullying and being abusive towards them, there are still people who believe in them and support them.

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?

The world has always been violent.

We see a lot of times when conflict escalate because of games or sport that had been played and one part of a team was not satisfied with the game. It happened to our country players the other time, because they won the home team harassed them in the airport.

Sports are organized as a mean to bring different ethics together for the fun of it. Weather fan or players, you shouldn't turn what's was meant to be a fun time into something terrible.

Escobar's death was the peak of it. Today we see so many fans fight themselves after their team lost a game. They turn a football watching center into a batte Zone. We should grow up

Well it’s normal for any gambler or sports lover to be loyal to their club, and that’s just part of football, but we need to understand that gambling isn’t always about sentiments, feelings and emotions alone. A lot of gamblers end up losing money and lots of it, not because they gambled irresponsibly but simply because they blindly supported a team they love, even after knowing that their chances of winning are very low, they still allow their emotions push them into making that decision.

It is funny how you ask this question when you already cited a strong proof that violence in sports gambling, also known today as sports betting is real.  Another example is husband beating his wife due to emotional frustration of losing too much money, and the wife nagging too much. 

Aside from that, gambling fathers often beat their kids because they get easily annoyed, especially when the kid keeps on distracting the father using tantrums and alike.  Those who are too hooked on gambling and experiencing losses often have a short fuse.  They can easily explode and hit anyone who annoys them.

I agree with you that some people that are being aggressive when their team lose might not even gamble, some of them are just die hard fan of their team, and they always so aggressive whenever their team lose even if they don’t gamble. Some of them are always being pained by what people around them say, but if you team lose, I see no reason why you have to be violent, if you are being mocked try and control yourself, and if it’s getting too much, just step out of the place.

I hardly watch match outside because I do always avoid insult, I do watch my matches at home, I know it’s always boring, but nobody is going to talk to me anyhow, and am always comfortable, because I don’t really like crowd.

Gambling should be entertainment, not a make money plan. The house always has an edge long term, anyone promising secrets to always win is lying….

And this is the very part where most newbie miss the point of failure to understand that gambling is only for entertainment not some kind of making money open door…like my country some people see sportybet 9ja as away of luck wins to win and get richer…

How can any sane man beat his wife because he lost his bet . That is extreme to me I can imagine myself beating my wife simply because I lost my bet. It only shows that such a person is addicted and should be taken in for rehabilitation because that's not a normal behavior if you ask me.


Gambling was not designed to make money, all these things are happening simply because many of these people who take gambling activities to the extreme out on too much attention and hope on gambling that is the reason they will go to the extent of killing someone simply because of gambling loses.
