What determines the outcome of a match?

[Darker45]

I don't think the public has any power over the "outcome of a match". Betting doesn't have anything to do with the game itself, except perhaps when the game is rigged. Otherwise, the bettors, fans, supporters, the public in general can't "determine" the outcome.

They may sway the odds, though. The bookmakers can only release the initial odds. Whatever happens to it will eventually be determined by the open market. If the money flows to what initially analyzed as underdog, then it could turn into the favorite.

I’m of the opinion that the outcome of a match is determined by the skills the players exhibit on the pitch and chance too. The public have no influence on the result of a match, bettors can only make their predictions and that doesn’t mean it also has an influence on the results. Even though bettors predict based on lower or smaller odds, it’s not a guarantee that the lower odds has a chance of winning.

What determines the outcome of a match? Goals.. A side has to score more goals to be able to win the game. Goals are majorly what determines the outcome of a match. The public feelings and emotions doesn't count and will not matter in "deciding" the outcome of a match.
I'm actually curious on how you came about the idea of the public coming together and controlling the outcome of a match. Perhaps I may have misunderstood what you're really trying to say but reading through your post, you seem to think the public could control or decide the outcome of a match. That's quite absurd.

Did you just mentioned public controls the outcome of a match  Time to merge and start massive hypeup campaigns for bets so we can earn so much profit  .

The players and the whole team at large determines the outcome of a match not the public, the public can only provide support, for example fans providing live support for the team through chants  to help boost their morale. Other form of influence are just pre-game noises, fades once the real game commence.

Usually lot of people believe that gambling is not meant for everyone and also when you are gambling or has already placed your bet, what do determines the outcome of the match? Or I want to also know if the public are the people who truly controls the outcome of the match. You know, when you are picking a odds most time people easily go for the team that has lower odds due to the fact that they could win the match, so people just decided to pick games with very small odds but it would surprises you that even with the smallest odds the game still ends up against you where you would lose money, and most times when the public are that chosen a particular club and it happens to be winning you would also see that those who bet against the public end up losing for big time.

No one can control the winning of a match, I have also lost in the world cup, such as the Brazil, Spain, Bosnia and the Netherlands vs Japan matches, I don't think that the results will be beyond my analysis, according to kiu it is normal for the world cup now with the new forces that have developed well, even the favorite team can make us disappointed, but otherwise we can see what is learned for people who have used analysis, it is just a way to see better opportunities by choosing the favorite team.
The public only sees from the data they read, making one of them a favorite, the more people believe the lower the odds, but that doesn't necessarily change the outcome of the match, unless there is covert intervention against a team that makes them surrender, but this is very rare when betting in big leagues.

OP, why don't you just change your forum thread title and ask the proper question, which is "What determines the odds of a match?" not "the outcome of a match". The outcome of a match can be determined by luck, strategy and tactics, current performance shown by both teams, the referee, the weather, some players getting injured or getting red cards throughout the game, etc.
The odds are supposed to be determined by the people, who are placing bets. I have suspicious that the odds are manipulated(or directly determined) by the bookies, but I have no proof for such claims. Sometimes I have the feeling that the bookies are offering way too generous odds on some game, just to make the bettors place more money on that particular game and trap them. Maybe I'm delusional. I just don't trust the bookies that much.

I think two major things actually dictate the outcome of a match. The first is team statistics and the second is luck. Fact is both of this factors may shift to balance based off the superiority gap of both teams actually. Same with your bet luck is always involved either way.

The public speculation can be right in a couple of cases but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's basically the better option all the time. Regardless of that I think it's more interesting and rational to bet based off you idea that's if you wanna actually enjoy the game and not because you just want the money.

You are right but that would be if the person doesn't use huge amount to gamble or maybe are not even expecting much from the game, unlike most people who so much put their attention on what they should be winning from their bet.
To what I does is that, after doing my analysis I would have to compare with others or a friend who is also gambler to know if we are moving the same options and whenever it checked and sees that differences are much then I would to readjust my bet at least to in some market options to enable remain on the same frequency with him.

Who told you this, mate? How can the public control the outcome? Then what are the players doing on the field? This is nonsense. The outcome of a match completely depends on the players, their form, and the playing conditions.

The outcome of a bet, however, largely depends on you. If you see that the side you’ve bet on is on the verge of losing, you can decide whether to wait for the match to conclude and potentially lose everything, or cash out before it ends and save at least some of your money. That decision also depends on you.

The crowd doesn't determine the outcome of a match. The crowd's expectations of the result are their own problem. The outcome is decided on the playing field, and players hardly think about the odds on their game today it has no impact on the final result.The public is quicker to decide who to bet on, since the crowd effect still works; few people check the statistics of previous matches, but simply see more favorable odds and bet without much thought.

Football is always very unpredictable, the fact that majority of persons feels that a particular team might win in a match doesn’t guarantee win for that team, even teams with smaller odds do lose to teams with bigger odds so to me football remains completely unpredictable.

The only factors i feel can determine the outcome of a match are;
1. The current form of the players, a team that lost a previous match might go back to the drawing board and restructure properly and come out very strong in the next match, predictors might mistakenly pick the smaller odds judging from past experience and end up losing at the end.

2. Another key factor that can change the outcome of a game is the team energy/spirit of the players in a particular match, once the players have a positive team energy amongst themselves in any given match you will observe that they will defeat even a bigger team because they will be more clinical and cover each other’s lapses, every game outcome is determined on the pitch, public opinions don’t count.

If the public or a gambler was to be in a better position in determining the final results of every match then everybody should have a steady  winning streak without losing not even a single day, I don't think the casinos or any sport betting companies and others would have still be in business uptill now because their would have been a massive winning. I always believe luck is what literally determine the final say in every matches because lately even the almighty team we sometimes put our trust on normally lose to the lesser team. And sometimes it's so annoying because most times we put every hope on it not to end up having a different result.

I just love answering these questions as I think nowadays it is not the odds nor the players of a team despite them being much better than the other team but it is the referee. Some referees do not give a damn about beautiful game play and by their reckless decisions they can make many favorite teams with odd like 1.20 to be a lost bet. Luckily from what I am seeing in the World Cup the VAR technology is being used widely and correctly much different from local leagues, big local leagues like Premier League and others. So betting on the favorite means nothing as the referee decides the outcome of a game nowadays.

In reality it is the referees final whistle that determines that the match is ended so it is the final determinant, after the whistle that is when every bettors and supporters would know whether they predicted correctly or not. The fans and bettors don't have a control over the outcomes of any games although the cheering spectators can be a morale booster for their teams but bettors have absolutely no impact. Whether you go for high or low odds you wouldn't know how the game will end and that is why we should gamble responsibly with small amounts so that we won't be under pressure whether we will won or not.

All this time, I’ve been ignoring public bets. We do consider the odds, but following the public’s betting trend can also trap us into bets based only on instinct. Even though sometimes it works, I’d rather call it a part of luck. For me, the ones who decide the outcome of the match are the players actually playing, not those who are betting.

I don't fall within  the category of those gamblers that always determined the outcome of a match by the small odds being allocated to it, so my pattern of prediction is basically on watching those matches once once to know the club current performance when they playing with any clubs, and before i conclude on placing my prediction on any matches, i will make sure I'm done checking on the stats, and if their key players is being placed for a treatment rest because of the injury the key players might encounter during the previous match or if any players has gone for international break, many more but i choose to mention the few ways on how i generate my conclusions of match prediction, so I don't go chasing after a small odds but i place my prediction after a fully checked on my selected matches no matter how the odds might be allocated to those matches.

Are you sure about this? No one determines the outcome of a match, not the gambler not the players that are playing in the match and not anyone so far the match is not manipulated with match fixing. Only what determines the outcome of a match is how good the players played and how they do not waste their chances. This is the reason betting is very hard to go for, and also are the house edges from the bookmakers.

[Wakate]

Determining who is going to win a match is something we can not proudly argue about because anything can happen in gambling and there is no way for us to know if the team we choose is actually going to make it or they are going to slide off and play draw or lose.
The previous Spain match playing a draw with a small country in the world cup had taught us a lesson never to pick big team because we know that they have high possibility of winning a match.

You just defined gambling from a different angle and it's correct, you can't just determine the outcome of a game, can you go on a street and start beating people up? You will end up meeting a wrong guy who will beat the hell out of ya, what happens in a match is not for the public to decide, that's why it's called a match, both team sides will struggle to win and that's why no one can tell what's really going to happen.

I think people place bets precisely because they do not know for certain whether they will receive a reward. The unpredictability of winning is much more appealing than guaranteed success. It is a psychological mechanism that makes gambling attractive. People are usually drawn into gambling not by the odds themselves, but by other motivations and emotions. This is especially true because everything can change very quickly, particularly when placing bets in live betting markets during a game.

The public doesn't get to decide the outcome of a match. in a match, the reason why the public always prefer to bet on the team that is stronger is because they believe there is a high chances that they win but if every outcome is determined by performance, that means our prediction will always be accurate. Have you not bet on a particular strong team to win against a weak opponent.but the weak team ended up defeating them.  I have watch several matches where stronger teams with better performance were defeated by weaker opponents by luck. So even with better performance and quality players, a strong team can also lose to a weaker opponent if luck isn't on their side. In my opinion,I think what determine the outcome in a match is performance and luck, the public can only influence odds but not outcome because I don't think so.
