Would You Bet on a Team That's Fighting Over Bonuses?

[Betwrong]

As a football bettor, I often wonder what really motivates players.
Personally, I find it strange when money becomes part of representing your country. For example, Senegal reportedly faced tensions over unpaid player bonuses before the World Cup.
Many national team players already earn excellent salaries at Europe's biggest clubs. Compared to those contracts, national team bonuses are often a small part of their income. That's why I've always felt that representing your country should be about pride first, not money.

No. It's always about money first and then about anything else. People who tell you that you should work for some "pride", they just want to steel your money.

And if you found out a team was dealing with bonus disputes before a match, would it affect your betting decision?

No, obviously it wouldn't affect my betting decision. Bonus disputes have nothing to do with the sports themselves — and even less to do with the actual sports betting.

Happens in the national league in my country too. But it's not about bonuses, it's about their salaries. Most teams here still struggle to pay their players' salaries. It really affects their performance on the field. I'm not sure if the bookies know about the teams' internal situations. But most of the time, the odds seem normal and aren't affected by those conditions. And in that case, I take advantage of it by betting on the opponent

To me, wearing your national team's shirt is one of the greatest honors in football (Well, That's something priceless, it's a big honor). I can understand paying the coaching staff, especially when they're foreign professionals hired by the federation, but I'm less convinced when it comes to players representing their own country.
Do you think national team players should negotiate bonuses, or is representing your country reward enough?

Yes I would bet on such team because every footballer are playing football to make money, if money is no more in football they will all quit, even upcoming footballers will put an end to it.

By the way, before these people can act like this up to the face of the pubic it shows that they have been treated bad in the past, only God knows why they do that but since money is involved anyways I am not surprised.

Every players will want to protect their country's image but if the country isn't ready to  fund their own football players they should fight if that's what will make them pay, it's called fighting for a right.

It's obvious that bettors want nothing but a win in the long run. Even though it's not possible to win without losing, it makes more sense when bettors make use of the available advantage to beat the casino, lol.

Honestly, there's nothing better than when players are probably taken care of, because it gives them the strength to do what's needed on the pitch. Even though most of them normally mess up sometimes, it's good when there's enough provision for them.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, I would bet on them, because they would leave everything on the field, they need the money and they will do whatever it takes to win that bonus. Of course, this is something that would be for famous players, because the famous ones are in big clubs, but if it's an amateur team they will kill themselves just to get that bonus, so it's a very good option.

Anything I think will win a match is what I will bet on and I will not add sentiment to my bet ignoring the fact that this is business and I know the betting winnings to continue making money from gambling. Those that have a contrary believe about this would do whatever they like thinking on what will be the outcome of the match for them to make profits.

I read what you wrote, and I could say that you shouldn't blame those players, and even staff that could involved, some countries' governments are so useless. The government officials are so irresponsible, doesn't care and extremely selfish and corrupt. If players in the good countries look beyond the honour of representing their countries, how much more are those in bad countries?

[Sticky Bomb]

It would be logical to think that their motivation would be undermined and that their chances of winning would be reduced. But let's think that for many players this is probably the only opportunity to play in a World Cup, and that even if they are not paid what they are entitled to, they know that it is a world showcase and that their prestige is at stake, and therefore they could still give everything. Or, as they do in some Japanese strikes, perform above all expectations to attract attention in this other way, to claim what they deserve.

Personally, I would want to believe that they know that this is the highest competition where they can attract interests from across the world, so if they failed to perform well because of unpaid bonuses, then they were only penny wise and pound foolish. They can always settle their differences with their government when they're back from the competition. Their career is at stake in the WC and every sensible player would seize that opportunity to take their career to the next level.

I know that paying such benefits boosts morale and when players morale are high, they perform better, but sometimes it's better to motivate yourself when you've a bigger target than allow little hurdles limit you.

Today, most of my curiosity keeps wondering if maybe we even have an idea of what is going on within some of these teams at Sportsbet. Was it not the only one that got leaked, exposing more information to us? What about the hidden agendas and other runs going on within a particular setting of a football team that we don't even know about? Despite all this, we still play our bet and Gamble without minding either.

I don't really see any connection between the two issues here, the tensions over the players' bonuses and the decision to bet on that team. If it turns out that Senegal's opponent is a weak team, then I will definitely place my bet on Senegal. So whether or not they give bonuses to players will have no impact on my betting decisions.

But my comment is that it is the players' right to get bonuses, so here is the matter of pride in playing for your own team, or something else, it comes later, the players should be given the bonuses they deserve first. But in this case, I would disagree only if the players refused to play for the national team and wanted an additional level of fee.

[bitbollo]

this is an interesting aspect in some leagues and competition.
In a world cup competition would be seen as secondary, there are other bonus that comes from the victory
even if not related directly to bitcoin this can become in the long term a kind of secondary incentive to overcome governements support - likewise a free way to "tip" a player performance

My country is found of making a fool of themselves when it comes to players incentive but that doesn't stop the players from carrying out their duties on the pitch because they're always ready to support their country. I know that some countries are like that too but the players wouldn't come out to expose them because they believe that is the only sacrifice they can make for their country.

You are right anyway, it's completely OK if the players will choose or choose to see their efforts in making their country proud through sports as a sacrifice they have to make for the country, but this is not to say that they don't have the right to ask for their right or for whatever they are entitled to for their contributions to the progress of the country both locally and internationally.

And this is why I said what I said in my previous comment on this thread, if the politicians who are supposed to be the ones sacrificing the most for the progress of the country aren't sacrificing anything, but rather are stealing from the resources meant to help the country grow economically, then our players have every right to demand for their entitlements from the governments responsible for their welfare, but I guess they don't usually pay much attention to this simply because they are already earning more than enough money in the international leagues they are playing for.

This is a peculiar problem in most minor leagues where team managements doesn't meet up with paying players salaries promptly and I have heard a number of cases where players have protested about their welfare so it's not only some national teams that protests about bonuses it also happens in local leagues. Ofcourse bettors can take advantage of such situations to analyze their bets, a team who's players are protesting about none payments of salaries and match bonuses will likely not have the needed morales to play very well. But teams that stage protests also wins their matches so I guess none payments of salaries and bonuses are not a guarantee that the team must lose their game, we cannot underestimate the luck factors.

Bonuses are part of gambling that keeps gamblers happy for those that really enjoys having it but does not mean that we will rely solely on it because of compensation though it is part of a way of appreciating your customers, bonuses are supposed to be gotten freely and not fighting for it, I would prefer to gamble with a team that freely accepts bonuses than fighting over it.

I will not bet on a team that is fighting over bonuses because the team will not be in their right mind when playing their game, football is a game of emotion hence when the team are not having a stable emotion it becomes a problem for them to be able to win their games. I have read reports from the past and seeing how psychologically affected footballers are when they are being owed they are bonuses, and this can cause them to lose games or have emotional outburst on the field of play. Football teams need to work together for them to be able to deliver trophies, they are workers hence they need to be paid for the work they do. Owing them their bonuses is not fair on them as this can affect their performance which also affects the gamblers too.

Do you think national team players should negotiate bonuses, or is representing your country reward enough?

Representing your country should be enough reward, but it's not like that... We all know that money plays an important role, and if some players are not satisfied with "the conditions", they will not give their best. They will not be in the game... their mind will be elsewhere. So it would be good to pass that and wait for a better bet.

But those things are not so public.. Except for Senegal, is there any other team that faces similar problems? How to get this information on time? Just don't say read newspapers, there's a lot of disinformation, so I wouldn't trust them just like that.

[qwertyup23]

Players that will play well through out the season, I think predictos will know how to make a good prediction because they will use the kind players the team have before predicting their matches, there are some players small bonus can make them improve higher because they will not like to miss what the government will going to add as a bonus or what the team president will use to encourage the players to do what will make some predictos smile for positive results.

In this situation, players who have extensive and up-to-date knowledge regarding certain teams would have the winning edge that could make all the difference.

If you encounter a situation where a certain team has problems with anything to do with money, then expect their integrity to be questioned. It will definitely be risky to bet on these kinds of teams especially if you consider that they are not playing 100% honestly and truthfully.

Like what you mentioned OP, if Senegal has issues regarding player salaries, then it could potentially influence their players to make mistakes often that can benefit their interest (e.g. betting against themselves, etc).

I fully agree with you. If there are reservations regarding the goal of a player, then expect them not to perform their best in the process.

Sure, pride plays a vital role on a team's performance but money would always be one of those huge factors that drive their motivation to play better as a team.

[ScamViruS]

It is a matter of great pride for a player to represent their country. However, if a player is embroiled in disputes such as not receiving their due payments it takes a significant mental toll, which inevitably reflects in their performance. Every player wants to give their best on the field, but unexpected conflicts can have a major impact. Therefore, I would certainly be cautious about placing bets on such teams.

That's good, but even so, I couldn't bet against my own team. If I knew I was going to lose, I'd rather not bet against my team because I'd feel bad, I'd feel dirty doing something like that. So I prefer not to bet so I can do things better and enjoy the game, deal with my frustration alone, see how badly they played. That's it, I've never bet against one of my own teams.

[Floxynice]

There should be a line between when a bettor is a fan of a particular team and when they intend to bet on that team. As a fan, they are free to be biased in their judgment of the team. They can choose to ignore red flags and obvious facts about the team that are not pleasant. But as a bettor, every fact matters.

Disputes over unpaid bonuses are not something that can be ignored. It means that the team might not be at their best during the match against their opponents. Betting on them is just like throwing money away willingly.
