Do bookmakers buy information from sports leagues?

[Curious T]

It's just another excuse sports bettors make for when they lose. Instead of admitting that they got it wrong, they look for who to blame. They are the group with the ones that believe the games are fixed. What information are the clubs going to give to them bet companies that are not public? Which companies will they pass the information to, and how will it get passed to the rest of the casinos in the world? 

Sports are a very difficult thing to predict. Especially sports like football, basketball and the rest. They don't always go as expected. In fact, they hardly go as expected, and the ones that go as expected don't have big odds. This makes it pretty difficult to win.

At first which type of information are they even arguing about because every information about a game is out there on the public consumption or is there any other information separate from the general sports activities and information we don't know that is special and specifically only for some people? Maybe if they had specified the type of information they in their argument then we could have known but they didn't maybe they could step up their research properly before betting on a game if that is their bone of contention.

Information rules the world and men with quick  access to very important information in any field they always get ahead before any others.  There's no industry that certain information and not withheld not to be broken quickly to public consumption without certain calibre of person within that echelon not first being aware. Perhaps, information about the players state just before a match, what happened in the dressing room, and similar informations.

he said that bookies always pay some sports league to get early information about different team and that some media also pays the league to get earl y information that they sell to some bettors and that there are some information that a team could sell to the bookies and media but will not make it public and the bookies are using it as an edge to make better prediction than an average bettors.

So if sportbooks are paying so called leagues to get early information about teams, how does it translate to you not been favorable while gambling. Except this person is arguring about sportbooks paying these leagues so that they can , tell the the outcome of the planned result which the clubs will arrange and play among themselves. Which to me is match fixing which is a serious offence , if that is the what is withheld from the public.

If not I don't see the wisdom behind the Argument, wining in gambling has always been a game of luck, and has nothing to do with information that is bought somewhere. The day you win the Casinos are not buying information from leagues, while the day you lose you become angry and comes up with all manner of allegations which doesn't sound right to me.

The reason why I brought up this, is because of an argument between some bettors today. According to the claim of one of them, betting has not been very favorable to him for some weeks and he is blaming it on the sportbook and football Leagues, he said that bookies always pay some sports league to get early information about different team and that some media also pays the league to get earl y information that they sell to some bettors and that there are some information that a team could sell to the bookies and media but will not make it public and the bookies are using it as an edge to make better prediction than an average bettors.

What information are the bookies willing to pay? I mean, every information before a match started has always been announced, like if there are changes to the rotation, injuries, and things that could make an impact to the game. These are all broadcasted pre-game.
Sports betting is not a prediction market where one could pay an insider to get early access to certain information. Early information in sports doesn't mean anything or an advantage, bettors still need to analyze the match up and review the odds to find good value.

DiMarxist it possible to effect bettors bet outcome if the leagues are fixed and casinos being the one paying for that match fixing, this have being happening in so cases and that is why some match get call out in the last FIFA world cup, so you don't know the extent big players in the game can go to get things done in way that keeps them at profits.


In some ways, is possible to get the outcome of the match even before the match begins, and at this po,int the match officials will all be in collaboration with the plot to rig the game in favour of the selected team.

I disagree on this, it is not even possible on major leagues because we see how everything transpired on the pitch and no form of manipulation before, during, or after their match, another reason why you will see that many gamblers only concentrate playing major leads is this, because they don't trust the process at some point when by some uncommon leagues may be bias at their judgment or procedures and complicate things for them, all this being said, gambling must be played as according to our abilities and affordability.
