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.
This is the new normal and many sports are affected by this pandemic happening globally. That’s important to check all the necessary details of each team before betting, though in every game it is unpredictable. The new normal that other players still had the difficulty to adapt. The physiological conditions of each player may impact the game and possibly the outcomes are not good so as a bettor we should also consider that these may happen.

Interesting facts though, the pandemic carries a great risk over the soccer predictions. Taking into consideration the unpredictable factors such as positive test results can change the game outcome drastically and this is the last situation the Ukraine football team has faced. Team games are under great risk still, for achieving the best gambling results gamblers can avoid team games and focus on boxing, tennis, cricket, etc
There's no need to avoid team sports since they will still be able to play right as long as safety protocols were done before the game. Like being quarantine for days before they play or set their games. It will be hard for them at first but they should do it for themselves and for the team as they still need to play to have a living and to start back in these new normal that we need to face.

It's too hard to become fun right now because this pandemic gives us a lot of problems and killing our joy with the sports betting for sure some of us are waiting for the basketball sports bet and also with the e-sports betting which is I prefer the defense of the ancient (Dota 2).
Few sports are accepting to continue the fight some of these are the boxing battle recently AFAIK there is a thread already created about this and I'm glad they still got and set the fight another hype for the sports bettors like me.
Hold your money and wait for another winning wage.

Yeah, everything is really different on this new normal because everything has no crowd on it which is really the main factor on why sports neither physical or online ones is really enjoyable to watch
specially on tournaments or finals.
Im also a esport lover too even though they arent that affected much but still the main event was still on hold due to the current pandemic situation.Its more enjoyable if you can hear out
chants and words from the crowd around.
When it comes to affecting inside of team aspects then it can really happen from time to time on the last minute which will really greatly affect the outcome of such game
if main players cant really able to play due to virus.
As a bettor then it will really be frustrating into things that you would unexpectedly to happen.

I think there is way too much being made about the pandemic no fans in the stands ordeal. Personally I've found it to be more of an excuse than anything else. While home-field advantage isn't not fully there, there is definitely without question still an advantage to being in your own stadium , waking up in your own bed, having your own locker and equipment you're used to etc. So no I don't think it's had an effect nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.
Spot on, and some pre match rituals that you can do on your own stadium, like steven gerald liverpool ex player like to touch the Liverpool club logo on the tunnel leading to the pitch, you correct excuse is not of any use, you know the fans are watching from else where you and you should not disappoint.Now teams has to unite more in the reality of things in this covid-19 period and adjust to it, although am sad about the
+ job loss -club employee-
+ stadium ticket -club loss-

I once made a topic that discussed more or less the same as this. in this "NEW NORMAL" era, it will be very difficult for us to predict the final outcome of sports events (football, basketball, and others). at this time, teams at the lower level and the top level have the same chance of winning, there have been many matches that have disappointed bettors because the final result did not match expectations and analysis based on past matches (before "PANDEMIC"). for now, I think we can't expect much to get a right and accurate decision because the players had lost their encouragement, that is the cheers of the crowd's support..

Team games are under great risk still, for achieving the best gambling results gamblers can avoid team games and focus on boxing, tennis, cricket, etc. New normal of sports betting should be accepted because the social distance rules can be a double-edged sword for many famous soccer teams. Ukraine team fans shouldn't feel bad because the pandemic has changed the game outcome, the final score can not be a reason to blame the Ukraine football team.

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?
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. 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?

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

I'm fan with the foot ball game at the same time is basketball mostly I checked the database of the scores and standing of the time.
In football I'm getting hard time to choose about the odds because there is a chance could make a possible comeback with those players.
In basket ball you could see easily who is the underdog of the game even this happen you easily assure who is the game winner.
I'm waiting for now for the next game will open and accept to continue by the government.

A situation like this is going awry I think, because if the league or match is not continued then management might go bankrupt but on the other hand, the covid test and of course this pandemic really affects the game because I myself also feel it is useless to predict the match in the current situation. So I guess betting is not a problem because basically gambling is a game of luck but, if the results are as unpredictable as they have been, it might be better not to bet at times like this, but if you really want to test your adrenaline, I think the current situation is perfect for enjoying the game of every bet made.

I agree,physcological conditions can impact the game result a lot.Not only on the specific game you are talking about but if we compare the first weeks of the Premier League to the weeks in the previous years you will see a big difference in results,the main one being less and less draws.
But it's not just psychological. It's also strong players literally getting sick and weaker ones playing who would not normally be in an important game.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?
Wouldn't it actually be more predictable, less satisfying? Mostly because you're watching a game with their main team vs a team with their main players being subbed out. I'm not underestimating the subs or anything, but the fact that they aren't the main players are more than enough of a testament that they wouldn't be able to hold that long against the main team of a famous team. The outcome didn't change, yes, but the end result as you said was quite different from expected, which means a lot imo.

It is a factor definitely. We are currently in a health crisis and for athletes to perform well, they need to be physically healthy. And we already know that even healthy ones can acquire the virus. Ukraine was really unlucky having players with the virus, I don't want to say that it's better if the weaker ones will get it but it will kind of change too. Virus doesn't choose actually. It's my concern with the NBA before too but it wasn't affected as much as this one. If I would gamble too, I would want to know who will play or not, it's the same thing even before the virus, whos injured? Who's going to play, a star player got traded. It's just a different scenario but somehow the same thing. It's even worse now cause some players would even want to choose not playing because of the threat.

This got me thinking that the covid19 test could be manipulated in order to changes the game into a wild wild unpredictable one.This match went not as expected, but the outcome did not change, but this is just one case.

Can't be ignored the fact that fans presence has big impact. Those big score come because there is no pressure from the fans and the match often run like a friendly match or a charity that's why you can see a bold difference in Premier League especially where there 144 goals scored already just within matchday 4th.
36 goals average per matchday
3.6 goals per match in average
Damn that's wild right? Should we go for over 3.5 goals in every match? That could be profitable if the situation remain like this.

Unfortunately this is a pandemic and it's bound to happen, this is the reason why matches are delayed for a while in other countries . I believe in the near future we might be able to understand for a fact that it's not good for sports and games to open during pandemic. You cannot expect the players to get a mask and run after the ball.
Not only the players might be scared , they might also be in a huge risk of getting the virus , since people can be asymptomatic and this spread it.
Not only that , there are countries who are firmly banning the players if they do take part in betting etc... Especially during pandemic the government is getting super strict.
Right now we are seeing an alliance between many countries to help develop the vaccination better and faster : COVAX . So I believe players can get a shot first if the economy is that dependent on their health?

I saw some news lately that Chinese was banned for match fixing in tournament. 3 of them caught throwing the game so it means that the rest of the team don't know what's going on and playing well. So it will be very hard for us to know whether they are really throwing the game. Check my link below for source.

And also, I watch some streams from Dota2 professional players that they are playing sports betting during there streams. There's a chance that they might purposely lose the game especially if they are the strongest team while they have placed bet.
I've seen a few pro players promote betting sites on their live streams but I doubt they'll throw their matches on purpose when they're only getting paid to promote it. These weird matches only happen on small tournaments and lesser known teams that's why it's always best to bet on the popular tournaments with bigger prizepools (esl, dotapit, etc) and top teams when they're unlikely to throw their games.https://afkgaming.com/articles/dota2/News/4346-match-fixing-na-team-disqualified-from-bts-pro-series-2

We cannot avoid this one. The games will definitely change as well as their performance. The change may not be a big deal if the player which is temporarily lost due to COVID-19 is not the most dependable one or the superstar. But the big deal happens if and when the player lost is the superstar, the one which normally carries the entire team for a win or for a goal.
Let's take for example the Los Angeles Lakers. I don't expect the team to perform the same way if Lebron James is gone. So there will definitely be a huge twist to the games as well as the betting odds and the overall performance of teams. Expectations will also change.

The pandemic has a huge effect on sports and sports betting.
How many of us here realized that the homecourt advantage isn't literally about the comfortability of the players playing on their own court, but it's actually the home crowd?
Unexpected outcome also happened in the NBA. Underdog reaching the finals, all time low NBA finals tv rating (which supposed to be expected to become higher as majority is staying at home), and betting odds became a bit harder to predict.
I don't know how long are we going to live like this.
