I think it is a big factor which strongly affects the result of a match as well as the satisfaction of the gambler. But, I guess there must be a way for us to be aware of the news about half of the current team is infected with the virus, right? This means we can avoid making a bet like this. It is careless to make a bet without a piece of deep information.

Nevertheless, to be honest, I rarely make research before putting any bet cause I don't think it is necessary. Just lets God decide whether I will win or not lol

Well, in the case that I explored in the post, the news about two people not playing became available one day before the match. I'm sure many place bets earlier than that, and the flexibility on the bets isn't always available.

Unless they needed that, I think they are fine.

They are millionaires so I am sure that they have their own place to do their exercises even before then went to the bubble. Some are even performing so well here in the bubble instead of the normal series where the fans are there. These players know their priorities so I don't think they will just be letting their body not feel some trainings or exercises.

There is a saying that there is no way to buy health for any money.

I don't know how things are going in your country, but for a while we had a complete cessation of collective training. An athlete can train alone, but it is collective training that is important for games like soccer.

It's not possible to train properly for a game played by a team without the team being put in place! And it's not just the team, but also doctors, people in the hotels where the teams stay and other contacts that make it hard to eliminate the possibility of getting infected. And these two guys I've mentioned in my post were asymptomatic! They got tested only because a few days before some others tested positive. As for the games and trainings, people cannot play in masks because they need proper breathing on the field, and sometimes they can be very close to one another to make a move on the ball. Oh, and lastly, Ukrainians don't care about maintaining precautions, unfortunately. Even though were currently #8 in the world by the number of active cases of COVID-19, most people break the masks and distancing rules.

Yeah, I fully agree with it as this virus can really cripple a good team if they will get infected to it like a key player will get a virus then he cannot play for sure and the result of the match will surely to change.

This is one of the problems that we are currently facing right now in sports gambling especially if we cannot get the latest data of the game before it will start like who are the players who cannot play or who are the players that are absent in that certain team.

I didn't really notice a difference in competitive sports due to corona pandemic. Sure the stadiums are empty and the atmosphere feels very different but in terms of gameplay and outcomes it feels pretty normal to me. After almost a full sport season with corona the results are pretty normal, top tier teams are at the top of the score boards and the bad teams are at the bottom. Also the corona infection of top tier players was not really severe this yes.

As for sports betting I find that more people are involved these days. Probably due to more time at hand because of lock down and social distancing.

For viewers the sports have begun itself is the biggest thing and for me particularly it is so good to see the live games rather than seeing the highlights which for 3-4 months we all had witness. Obviously their would be some changes to it with no live audiences could hamper a bit and we have to give the leverage to players as they are not used to it. But still the way they are playing and giving their best is highly appreciated.

I'm still enjoying it to be honest, I just watch in TV that's the usual thing to do, so nothing big time has change into my experience. Even with the NBA now, though we can't see a crowd but everyone are still enjoying as they understand the situation.

For other leagues like those teams that will have to travel in and out in the venue, that's too risky that one could be carrying the virus and could affect everyone who are in contact with such player, and the game will be affected.

we can exlcude the illness because they players can be excluded in the game if they have positive from the ill and what do you mean by lost thier form ? posture ? ~

I'm sorry, maybe I misspelled it. By lost form I mean that many players are not as good as they were before the pandemic due to lack of training for several months. Intensive training is very important in team games.

All this situation with the pandemic has made serious adjustments in sports events. The pandemic has added more randomness and now the outcome of the match is influenced not only by the athletes' preparedness (many of them have lost their form), but also by such factor as their sudden illness.

but this pandemic wont have an affect on thier preparedness as long as the game is schedule to be played on fixed dates . lack of preparedness only means that they dont train/practice properly . sure there will be no audience or no lived audience to some game but if they are on thier home courts , that will still give them some advantage .

If you are a sport bettor then it is important to check the recent form of player/team and lot of other stuffs which can change the result of the match to be analyzed before going to bet, and it is better to go with very last time you can bet so you will have more accuracy on your collected information.Maybe it is affecting the gambler's fortune but still people will adapt to it and this is new normal in everything.

It’s hard to tell if the players is experiencing a mental health issues since the team wont expose that so we can only trust them knowing the history of the team and that is very hard to analyze. Anything can happen now on the sports betting, the team may look more fit but when they step in into the battle field, the result can change. This pandemic makes the situation more unpredictable, players are still doing their best though.

You can't be successful if you just follow the information available for the public, sometimes you need to implement psychological strategies of your own against the players which is for the too deep sport betting individuals and they are making bets only after they calculated every risk factor on the following match.

The pandemic is affecting many areas, including sports. There've been discussions of how the home advantage doesn't fully come into play on empty stadiums, and on many events getting cancelled, resulting in people betting on stuff they would not normally be interested in. But yesterday happened something I did not think of before. It was football match France vs Ukraine. I've looked at predictions and France was expected to win, so the outcome of the match did not change. However, the score was predicted to be around 3-0, whereas Ukraine actually lost 7-1. One could think that things happen, and what does the pandemic have to do with an unfortunate game, but it has lots to do. According to Ukrainian Association of Football, due to traumas and positive COVID-19 tests more than a half of the current squad wasn't able to play yesterday. Three strong players tested positive on the eve of the match (with two more testing positive a few days ago), and Ukraine was left with only one goalkeeper.
This match went not as expected, but the outcome did not change, but this is just one case. What if the outcomes will change due to key players testing positive and weaker ones playing? Wouldn't it twist the games a lot, making them less predictable and less satisfying?
Do you think it's a big factor to take into account given the current situation?

Actually the Outcome change because Ukraine Predicted not to get Any score but they Got 1,and also France to only make 3 when they ended up 7 points this
means lots change in the outcome.
And the answer is Given,Ukraine Team is devastated with having 1 Goalkeeper and many strong players being positive in Covid,
also Their Squad is Half short than usual games.
this is a proof that the match is not really fair and there is only miraculous chance for Ukraine to win.

But this also affect the sportsbetting though i don't see the effect in Boxing and other ring type sports,but in team effort?they mostly really on fans cheering
to boost their skills and abilities to win.

I totally agree that the current COVID-19 pandemic will affect sports betting, especially for football fans, there must be a lot of losses
when betting. Because some strong teams have lost by weak teams, this happens a lot in pandemic situations like now. We also don't
see the current home field advantage again, this makes it even more difficult for us to predict the outcome of the match.

indeed pandemics affect so widely in any sport that it is difficult to predict when betting, and I decided to be more careful when choosing a team because a team is good or not, unpredictable because of the pandemic and always the wrong choice.
and at this time when I want to bet I have to follow my conscience to choose and when in doubt I will choose not to bet.

Not every one is fully recovered other experience mental problem or stress during the long lockdown and it can really affect thier gameplay when it's started its hard to predict now who's team has advantage and who's not. But as long as the esport is back they can still regain the energy they once had.

Yes, i have experienced the same on sports betting. I bet few times on the team whom i thought was favorite based on performance prior to pandemic but they disappointed in the game. I am also very careful in selecting the team to bet on and do not depend on the performance which they had 4 -5 months before.

and also this,what is "LOST" of the strong team in weaker teams?

well the fans really added the momentum in every game because they are boosting the team or player,but at least they will still do the best to win each game.

There has been a widespread emotional and practical response to the epidemic like tearing a hole in our now-defunct global village. Which is why all live sports and entertainment miss out on real bets after the domino effect is suspended or canceled. Our most cherished tastes of escapism are now out of stock when all your favorite sports teams and bands have been unable to play at the same time all the capitalist owners of the Premier League, IPL, NBA and F1 teams have decided that they should keep their profitable sports leagues to deal with the healthcare crisis.

Covid19 have got everything to do with the outcomes in football today. I don't just know but the pandemic has been so devastating on every sector or field of human endeavor. I see what sports is doing today as just a sacrifice for the love of the game and to keep the fire burning in the fans. We love you our beloved sports and athletes.

It's not unusual for results as these France 7-1 Ukraine on the score board this season as we've witnessed so many times in the likes of Barcelona, Liverpool, Schalke04 amongst others and this could be traced to have links with Covid19. Not just about the testing positive but the fan aspect of it. Having fans in the stadium to cheer and boo the players helped them to put their head in the game and make it more business in an entertaining way.
Look what you've done, Covid19!

Even prior to the pandemic, that was an obvious thing to do before placing a bet.

Starting from analyzing the individual and team stats to recent game stats (past match).

As for the new normal, try to read the player's rhythm during their early matches on that setup if you aren't sure where will you place your bet. We can actually see or noticed if there's something affecting the player's performance due to a new nature. Take example on NBA, it's clear that the environment changes the way of some players in terms of their performance.

But in the end, a new normal setup shouldn't be the reason for players not to show up their true skills. That specific sport is their interest for a long-time so adjustment should not that difficult.
