An athlete is not allowed to do that, this is to avoid throwing the game, shaving points, or whatever they call it in every sport which I think should be the right rule to keep the game clean.
But there are instances where they can get away with it by letting their relatives, agents, or trusted friends do the dirty job. They just have to be careful though if an investigation suddenly comes out. I would not dare if I were a player who earns millions of dollars in a year. It's just jeopardizing the job/career.
Even with online betting now, you cannot escape KYC so they will know who you are.
Illegal bookies are their only way to do it, but will you trust that service?
Topic: Can players bet on their own games - page 6. (Read 780 times)
I’m curious to know if there’s any players (fighters,footballers….) who have been caught betting on themselves or on their own team to lose or win, i know it’s not allowed for any player as a part of their contract for example Ufc fighters are strictly forbidden from betting on their own fights. And the reason is pretty obvious since the player can easily manipulate the final score of whatever he is playing or fighting.
But surely in small or unknown leagues there must be some people doing it. For example a goalkeeper of small devision league in Africa where some bookmakers cover betting on the match can create an account on it, if they ask for KYC verification can easily ask his friend or family member to do it for him. And can earn much money by letting his team lose. Fighters can manipulate that even more.
So i would like to know if you heard of any player been caught doing that? and if my example is right?

I've never heard of anything like it, but if it's happened before or is happening now, I won't dismiss it. Money obsession has progressed beyond sacrificing one's own happiness for it. If this is discovered, the player or team should be banned for life. It is a form of entertainment for everyone to enjoy; using it to make extra money or for your own business is detrimental to its primary purpose. This should be frowned upon and not permitted in the sporting world. A match is supposed to be unpredictable, and you being the deciding factor will only kill the game's unknown anticipated outcome.
People that are part of the game itself and their direct families cannot bet in the games, for obvious reasons.
If they get caught then there are huge issues.
But the thing is that of course many people will get away by just talking with friends or acquaintances, even shell companies, etc, to do the actual betting, while they don't seem to be involved in it.
Those things are almost impossible to detect I think.

I believe it is happening but as for me i have never see or heard any news about a player betting before. All this kind of thing may be a secret because is prohibited for prayers.in this world people don't care breaking laws when it turn into issue of money.but what I am thinking it be hard for a players to bet against their team that their team will lose, most of this bet will seriously be for players team to win truly their are betting. And again if prayers are surely betting secretly, it may be even be those league competition that is not recognized.
We do have this.

WFDF Code of conduct on sports betting integrity for athletes, officials and event participants
There are already some events which some athletes or officials had been caught on betting up on a certain game
which they do really have been sanctioned and face up some charges.
It's true that professional athletes are often not allowed to wager on their own contests. Professional athletes have been caught wagering on their own games or contests on several occasions. For instance, NBA referee Tim Donaghy was found guilty of wire fraud conspiracy in 2007 after being caught betting on games that he refereed. Similar to this, a soccer player from Italy named Daniele Rugani was given a one-year suspension in 2013 after being found guilty of betting on a game he participated in.
It's crucial to remember that such conduct is not only disfavored but frequently illegal and subject to numerous penalties, including fines, suspension or termination of the contract, legal actions, and the like.
It's crucial to remember that such conduct is not only disfavored but frequently illegal and subject to numerous penalties, including fines, suspension or termination of the contract, legal actions, and the like.
Professional athletes or players aren't allowed to bet on their games. Even their family members and the members of their team aren't allowed too. There's a strict code of conduct on these players that they should abide by all the time, else it's a huge scandal and no one wants that to happen. Ever wonder why when there's such a thing that happens like this, it almost makes it to the news even if the one who made the bet is a cousin or some other distant family member? It's frowned upon by sports organizations, and gives the impression that whoever in the side of the players made the bet must know something is up (fixed match).
Am very sure such event will be happening but it will be a secret which they will never want to reveal. In my country I do hear about people asking you to pay them so that they will give you fix matches, but I don't really know where they are getting the matches from. Am sure players will definitely be making extra cash from their, but that's cheating, they are making use of opportunity, they will be manipulating a game, which I believe any player caught should be punished seriously.
It's been happening but the players or the fighters kept it to themselves, it's against the rules but if you think your team or yourself do not have chances against their opponents might as well bet on the opposing team or fighter, the organization cannot stop it especially now that we have Cryptocurrency casinos where you can bet anonymously or you can even use a dummy account of your friend to bet against your opponents, that is why whenever we see upsets people speculate that the fight is rigged or one fighter deliberately lose the fight because he is betting against his opponent.
It's hard to stop this practice especially if one fighter can likely make a lot of money, it usually happens in non-championship fights
because in a World title match, there's so much prestige attached to it than money.

The possibility of this is wide, player can bet on their own games and themselves either through proximity so even though players and fighter are publicly banned to bet on their own matches, it's still possible for them to use family members or close friends to make such bet and their clubs will never be aware it.
Aside from that, some other laws may not totally ban the players from participating in bets on their games and are allowed to bet at will.

These things happens and not just in some low tier leagues. It happens in top leagues like EPL. There is some famous players who got caught betting rules:
https://bookmakers.co.uk/news/footballers-who-have-been-banned-for-betting-on-their-sport
And it's not even about getting involved in match fixing and games where you play. Football players, managers and staff can't bet can't bet directly or indirectly on any football game worldwide, share inside information like injuries and transfers
https://www.fifa.com/legal/integrity/betting-in-football
Though, I'm sure that players from not very well known leagues worldwide are betting on major leagues like EPL or Champions league and not getting caught.
In other sports rules can be different, but one thing is same everywhere - you can't bet on games where you're involved.

That’s possible to happen or you will just ask someone to bet for you and gave him the money you want to gamble. There are also site where you can place your bet without giving your personal information so probably its happening. Betting on your own game might give you more profit especially if you know what is going on and you know that your team can win. Though some site might restrict you to do this since its like cheating on the game.
It's been literally done for decades. Here's one example:
"The 1915 British football betting scandal occurred when a Football League First Division match between Manchester United and Liverpool at Old Trafford on 2 April (Good Friday) 1915 was fixed in United's favour, with players from both sides benefiting from bets placed upon the result. In all, seven players were found to have participated in the scandal and all were subsequently banned for life, although most later had their bans overturned."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1915_British_football_match-fixing_scandal
And it keeps happening right now. In 2017 one guy who represented England bet on his transfer. When the news came out he was banned from the casino without payment.
In English Premier League players aren't allowed to bet on football at all, but they can bet on other sports.

In my country, it is pretty common for small-time event organizers to fix games ranging from volleyball to basketball. They'd bet under the table to make sure no one catches wind of it and then let the whole thing play out. Fixing games are happening all the time in regular games that aren't as massive as national level, mainly because of the lack of proper security and integrity. Then again measures are taken and are actively being employed to ensure that these doesn't happen that much. But it just can't be helped, these people will always find ways to fix games and manipulate the odds according to or against their will to earn a quick buck. That's the way of things in amateur sports level.
The same here,some years ago a big scandal was with a couple of best teams of the soccer Premier League we have here.Some senator players as they were called because they were the ones who made a difference in winning most of the games and winning titles back then,were caught drinking cigarettes (totally forbidden for any football player),drinking alcohol (heavily not recommended) and they were caught on a hidden camera talking to each other how they used to fix games.A further investigation was made and they were all put to jail for some time and the teams were put in second and third category.
Now I don't know if this happens again but I am sure that if players of a certain team want to bet on the team they play and to fix the game it is heavily possible from the smallest country to the great ones.
Nothing is impossible when it comes to gambling, but it is a big offense when you are caught,it can lead to your ban in sports. When it comes to street fighters,fighters can place their bet on themselves in other to bring out the best in them by fighting to make sure he wins and also in some local games in an under develop country,it is possible but not in a professional sport.

I have always heard that players gamble but I have never been able to see the content of their bets that's why I can't conclude that they bet on themselves or their team. In sports like football, I don't think it would be easy to manipulate the score except if some of the team members are aware or the goalkeeper is involved. Just one player might not be able to determine the outcome of a football or basketball match but one boxer or wrestler can.
But I think this act of gambling on self or ones team should be highly discouraged and should be covered and restricted in the contract of this player regardless of the size or level of the club. Players betting on themselves or their team can kill the beautiful game of sports.
Yes it is possible for players to bet in themselves but it is highly prohibited in the gambling industries.
I'm very sure that most of this strict restrictions is very common in UFC games but I haven't heard of such I'm football and I haven't really thought of them because I haven't taken time to see the possibilities in such because the games involves more then one person and it wouldn't be easy to do such in soccer(my perspective).
I really don't don't know why every evil situation(s) are easily associated with Africans? I think they really need to work on their corrupt system and start doing the right thing

You already get the point and this makes me wonder,Why are you curious then.
It's really that simple for players not to bet on there own games or teams to avoid issues of manipulations. Perhaps in some underground games but some properly regulated games by a body, its just something that shouldn't be done.
You'll have players doing all they could to either win or deliberately lose and that would mean, doing what is unbecoming of a good sportsmanship.
For football, it's a no. At least to the best of my knowledge. You don't don't get to bet through someone else. Perhaps other sports should adopt that to ensure good sportsmanship at the games.
It is very possible for such to happen. That is how the name match fixing came about. If a player were to bet on themselves or their team knowingly, it is sure to influence the outcome of the game, hence, it defeats the purpose to which the player plays and why the spectators bet.
It is rather an improper conduct and is a crime which could derail ones career or profession, if such a one is(are) discovered.

Yes, it's posible.
In e-sport (Why, I mentioned e-sport because I like gaming). Especially on tournament there a things called "322", meaning like throwing the game and the player betting their own game & get caught winning around 322$.
Feel free to search, everything is possible mate.
