Sport betting are influencing the transfers

[Alpha Marine]

Still does show that sports betting is influencing the transfers. Betting on which team a player will go to, who will win the Balon d'Or or who will win a particular tournament or game is not a new thing. It has been going on since. So the topic of Rodri is not new.
It would have been "influencing" when the decision or destination of the player is affected by the bets. The same thing happened with Vini when we weren't sure if he was going to renew or go to Arsenal. The same happened with Diamande. I believe there is currently a bet open for Alvarez going to Barcelona or staying at Atletico. The players make their decisions, and people gamble on it. I don't see any influence. They won't make their decisions based on bets and they themselves are not allowed to bet, so they can't exploit it.

He has joined the club's training, but the controversy is still not leaving him. There is a discussion about various posts and removals on his personal social media. Whether he will play for Real Madrid or whether he has decided to go to another club.

Bring to your notice that Real Madrid has renewed Vinicius contract with a new agreement, the player remains at the club for the next six years, and is already the second highest paid player in Madrid after Mbappe. Vinicius is now receiving €480,000 per week, a very considerable amount for him to remain at Madrid and refuse any contract from another club.

There won’t be any influence from bets opened in the market on the players’ decisions and agreements with all parties. Betting markets like this can’t be manipulated unless the people involved actually have a loophole to place large bets. Besides, it’s all about the players’ future. We’ll see a lot of betting markets like that, but I’m sure there’s no manipulation there. Although there’s always a possibility that it could happen.

A prediction market is not influencing the transfer market. The demand from the club is extremely high after the signing of Eliot Anderson to Manchester City.
Rodri to choose between Madrid OR Barca was not in the prediction market until Barcelona entered the race. The Spanish competitors are afraid to let Rodri go to Madrid, considering how strong the club is over there. To avoid dominance from Mourinho and his new squad, Barcelona wants to take the best midfielder in the world. Leaving Rodri to make his choice.

I'm going to see if anyone makes a big bet in the final moments leading up to the announcement of Rodri's transfer

I wonder if there might be someone with inside information who wants to make some money before an official announcement is made
Do you guys think that's possible?

[Byebyebtc]

Well maybe it is just me thinking this way, But the fact that rodri is from Spain and he played mostly with Barcelona players that alone should increase the odds of him going to Barcelona,
These are both great teams the two best in La Liga so the both of them are equal in terms of desire of someone to play, Because Real Madrid is a great club Barcelona is also a great club as well. Rodri might have a hard time choosing because they are both some how equal but fortunetly for Barcelona most of their players are from Spain so that could be a good reason why he would choose Barcelona.

Players are not allowed to bet. But in the age of technology, if someone from a player's family takes advantage and places a big bet in the betting market, it will not be possible to stop it. Although the chances of such an incident happening are very low, it is not impossible to win in gambling. But in reality, players always change teams based on their career club position, salary and bonuses. A player has his own favorite team and favorite club. He always wants to prove himself and be a part of that team. So, a player does not have time to advise his family or acquaintances about what is happening on the betting side. So betting sites always depend on luck.

To be honest prediction market can not really influence the transfer or Rodri not even the gambling site, they may actually add it to their platform just for people to make their bet, and possibly they could see it as an additional way to extract money from gamblers where they wouldn’t mind allocating an attractive odds to it so that people could keep placing bets against the two team on which Rodri should be leaving to.

OP: You have "sports betting" in the title and "prediction market" in the context; they're like apples and oranges, so they're different things. Anyway, the reality is that they shouldn't influence anything at all, since if it's proven, it could be fraud.

In any case, something similar happened with Vozinha, and against all odds, it ended up in Chile.

Op thought he ate with this one. What does he suspect to be fraudulent about his post? The fact that different transfer news hits us every day and prediction markets include them as part of their sales? Maybe I'm just too paranoid or something else, but I can't connect the dots which means this doesn't make any sense.

do you think it is not organic.

You confuse odds with insider information.
Bookmakers are reacting to the market, not creating it.

Do you understand?? He's either confused or doesn't understand shit about gambling.

[Orpichukwu]

They found a good market that a lot of people were interested in, but of course, it had no impact on the final decision of the negotiation. Those who bet were just going based on observation or speculation. And the size of the bets leaning towards one side cannot affect the ongoing negotiation process. 
I rarely visit prediction markets because sometimes I see some really silly markets.

Prediction markets just make options available for everything that’s making headlines, or they even push something up to trend so that it can attract more interest. Some say they are covering the gap where sportsbooks stop to provide betting options; they make it possible, which is crazy and cool at the same time. If not, insider trading is killing the market, which makes me hate its existence.

[terrific]

do you think it is not organic.

That is organic and I think your thought is a normal gambler's thought.
We came to the possible conclusion that they're interconnected even if they're not.
I guess that this is also a result when we gamble too much, it results to becoming worrying a lot.

I feel flattered being called a normal gambler, the problem is being called an indisciplined gambler, that I won’t take lightly lol.
The coincidences is working well for the prediction market but right now many of the transfers are now clearing
Up, Rodri has accepted Barcelona and Vini has accepted Real Madrid rather than going to Arsenal.
I think the prediction market won’t like some of the sport journalists giving direct information from players and their club.

We try to connect and conclude into these actions of the clubs and we thought that the bookies or prediction markets are a part of it defines that we're a gambler.
And someone might call you undisciplined gambler when you're trying to do things in absolute manner.
As if you're betting with these matches for being a die hard specifically for any team despite that there's a huge gap or obviously they're more than an underdog.

There has been rumor since last summer transfer window that Real Madrid are interested in Rodri, and even after Spain defeated Argentina in the just concluded World Cup it became clear Rodri will be headed to Real Madrid. Real Madrid was just waiting for Manchester City to give them the greenlight so that they can start negotiating but why they were waiting for that, Barcelona surprisingly joined the race, and the funny part is that Rodri says he only want Barcelona. Sporting betting aren't influencing the transfers as they don't have the power to determine the clubs players should sign for.

Indeed, prediction markets have not only increased the amount of speculation way beyond the original sports betting, but also exploited hot topics. The possession of inside information by a few players usually compromises the integrity of prices and is detrimental to the general participants. These platform are in urgent need of enhanced regulation and data transparency in order to generate fair and reliable probability estimate to benefit all market user.

The transfer window is one of the most talked about in the football space, but it's currently not the hottest bet in the sports world and the prediction market because the 2026 Ballon d'Or winner is currently the most talked about and also bet on in the prediction market than Rodri's future club because Rodri is not the only player to talk about in the transfer market.

[BRINIRHA]

So what does the prediction market influence on this transfer? Isn't it a natural thing when there is a struggle or a fight then there will always be a bet in it and this is not much different from predicting who the next president is or some other bets that are similar to this situation.

This does not affect anything for the transfer of players later because it is only purely a gamble not as an answer to the transfer of Rodri to the club Madrid or Barcelona.
Don't be too dramatic mate, its just a gamble but for the results later we might be able to guess according to the analysis and developments that occur for the transfer of Rodri instead of betting entirely on luck.

Sports betting doesn't have the power to make the call on where a player transfers. It is the clubs, players, agents and finances that truly matter when making decisions about transfers. But it's not always the case that betting markets are the best indicator of the information or rumors in the football world, causing the bookmakers to appear to be pushing the transfer. In fact, they are responding to news, rumors and market sentiments rather than making the decisions. In the end, it will be Rodri's preference and the clubs' discussions that will be more important than betting odds.

Sports betting has gained attention is various perspective, but the captain transfer influence as op opinion is not really what cut certain influence now in sport betting, as bettor what you felt that it's the most attention seeking may differ from the next bettor, I know you might have some search but may not be enough to conclude that it's the most talk about in the sports betting as others still cut attention like the case of this transfer. The power of gambler is anchored in all this attention weather verified or not perception remain in gambling, as what you think cut attention most may not even be.

I mean... This is a market which could be easily influenced by a few people and pocket millions of dollars single-handledly, We cannot prove there is such thing going on behind the curtain, but I would not be surprised it was that way, considering the scandals we have already see in the NBA and other leagues which were alledgelly too big to mess with betting markets, for the sake of quick money.

I lean towards the possibility of not a direct influence, until there is irrefutable proof of wrong doing.

The sudden shift of interest of Rodri from Real Madrid to Barcelona is not uncommon in the football transfer market. Players could change their mind within a short period. The Spanish midfielder has important reasons why he decided to move to Barcelona. According to some reports, he wants to play with his national teammates at Barca, and he prefers Hansi Flick.

Nothing is impossible, so we cannot completely write off insider betting. Until investigations are made and the culprit identified and made public, we will never know that such illegality happened.

No, I disagree that the ballon d'or  discussion is more popular than the transfer market discussion, because the Ballon D'or is only being discussed among football fans towards the end of the year when time for the award is near, but you see the transfer market, it has no time because even when the season is on, some players will be linked away from their club, which tells the whole story how popular and regular it is in the lips of football fans.

Just take a look at the Ballon D'or thread and the transfer speculation thread, I believe that the number of pages and the numbers of engagement there is enough reason to come to the conclusion that the transfer speculation is mostly talked about than the Ballon D'or.

[AprilioMP]

Prediction market now have both Real Madrid and Barcelona at equal odds to land the midfield general, looking at this and the Vini case that is never ending and cinematic do you think it is not organic.

You could bet on Barcelona to sign the creative central midfielder, who is also the captain of the Spanish national team. A few hours ago, Fabrizio reported that Barcelona is increasingly optimistic about signing Rodri, even though their initial offer was rejected. The rejection was likely due to the offer being deemed insufficient or because Manchester City is demanding a higher price.
Real Madrid already has only a slim chance of signing Rodri, as Perez is reportedly opposed to the move.
