Topic: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? (Read 1175 times)

as we put it this way, we can't pinpoint one single player that can affect the odds of the game. it is the combination of all the other factors. though it may significantly influence the odds if the player is like the star player and very popular among their fans. but overall, you need to assess the team's performance as well. it will give you better chance if you are not considering only the athlete's popularity or of that sort.

If you are frequent In the gambling industry and also with the way sportbook actually moderate their odd ratio then you would understand that players can actually affect the amount of odds given to the  team. I mean just take a player like Ronaldo for example who is very good and can influence a game during his peak and take for an example it was discovered that he won't be playing for his in a late hour information, I can bet that the odds which will be altered from the original one given to his team when it was reasoned that he was going to be featured in the game will definitely be of great differences because the sportbook knows the possibile outcome of him not playing the game

When it comes to betting the odds are gotten by based on the performance of the team and not just by how good a player is playing for the club. Yes it can increase the probability o winning the match but not the main odd changing. Sometime it depends on which odd as their are other odds given to players, number of corners to mention a few. So if a player is so good at scoring in most matches his odd in scoring a goal in a particular match might reduce but when he begins to score less goals in matches it becomes the other way round.

like the case of these two top players that you have mentioned then it will surely affect the odds because they know what the player is capable of contributing and most times their teams do win. if you want to know how effective this is, you will see changes in the odds as soon as the bookie hears an information or see that a top players will not be playing. they will keep on increasing the team's odd as the match time draws closer because they know they might lose the match.

It is true that one start player is not enough, however most sports experiment a free market which means that players can charge whatever they want and play wherever they want as well, so the top teams tend to monopolize the star players, this is why for example you have a team like Real Madrid which does well from season to season as their team is basically full of stars at every single position on the field, and while Real Madrid does not win everything every single year as there are other clubs that do the same, they are the team which has done this with the most consistency.

Well, in the Saudi League, only CR7 was enough, now that Mane arrived, things are different, it gets even better and yes, of course, things can change a lot, because they now use two stars, which makes This league was dominated by Al Nassr at once, but in this case the rival team like Al Hilal is because they have Neymar Jr and it is another level now this team that was only good with its current players, now has To Neymar, I'm sure that this derby will be totally crazy. In fact, when it's time to play these games, I want to watch them anyway. In what channels I have, I don't have the channels on which they broadcast these games and it's very difficult to get them to watch them. live, so in this order of ideas things can happen in several ways, because the Saudi team already shines only with those players, also not only there, it must be recognized that in the MLS it is a league that is not heard much, no It was so popular, now they have a good buzz thanks to Messi, although some plays are quite controversial, but they are still good because only Messi was the one who put the cherry on top of this football, I don't know how much it makes it rise in level, But I think they are on a very good path.

So things as they are, the stars can make a team win, but what you say is good that a big team can face a small one and the small one can beat the one with the stars, and cases have been seen, for not to go as far as what I always Say , the case of PSG did not have Ney+Mbappé and Messi, it was because they had destroyed everything, with UCL and any competition that came their way, but it was not like that, on the contrary, they won Ligue 1 because it would have been the worst if they didn't win it, but in a competition as important as the UCL they didn't go far, and that's the only thing that can't be explained, of course, in this particular case I'm totally sure that it was because Galtier's direction , but it was a team that had taken everything.

Exactly. No matter how good these star players are, it's still a team game that needs extreme coordination between the players in the playing field. Sure, these guys are already skilled when it comes to scoring a goal, but how about the other teammates that can assist them to complete this task? There's just a lot of factors in football to take into consideration before a bet is locked - at least that's how I view it.

It is not strange, there was a case when star players didn't make a big influence (especially for the result of the game). For example PSG stats in UCL, they already failed many times winning it although they have Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Ramos, Hakimi, Verratti, Marquinhos, and Gianluigi Donnarumma. These many star players can't help much PSG to achieve UCL trophy. Ronaldo also failed many times to help Al Nassr getting full points in SPL matches. That's one of the reasons why AL Nassr failed to win SPL title last season. So, not every time that the star players can contribute much for the team.

Yes, the football match basically is unpredictable. The star players (like Ronaldo, Messi, and Mbappe) is just one of the factors to determine the final result of the match. They can't guarantee the final result of the match.

It would be so strange if the star player did not have an impact on the odds. This player will be really helpful for the club. Let's take a look at how mbappe was helping PSG to win the game and that proves that if star player can even change the situation drastically.
I remember when ronaldo was also saving al nassr from losing against its opponent.

Star player's contribution to the club may also affect the outcome at the end of the game but this is an unnecessary thing. There was also the time when star player is going up and down.
Anything in the football is still remain unpredictable but star player would be valued a lot caused they have dozens of exp in the football. The club's odds can be greatly affected by having someone like Messi, Ronaldo, or Mbappe make a significant contribution.

Yes, I experienced this last season where I bet on PSG where there were still several star players like Mbappe, Messi and Neymar but unfortunately they lost, since then I don't pay attention to star players in a club because that's not a guarantee, I have to look at the overall cooperation of players in a club, because just relying on one or two star players will not have an effect if all the players are not united.

A club has eleven players and all of them are influential so I don't think it's fair if the betting odds are seen from just a few star players in it, it won't really work as a betting analysis because I've tried it before and I'm sure other gambler friends also feel the same way. just like you, it is true that sometimes the favorite team does not necessarily win against a club that is not the favorite

It's an easy question to answer, but sometimes things can change if luck is not on your side;
For example, Ronaldo was unexpectedly red-carded in the early minutes of the game, reducing his team's strength because he was missing, and the only thing that changed was that Ronaldo was red-carded early, reducing his team's strength both in terms of missing and in terms of attacking power going forward.
It's true that star players affect a team's odds, but you can't ignore that as anything can happen in a match.


This is exactly what I'm talking about.Although it's not a decisive factor in the outcome of the match, one of the main reasons why the match is more enjoyable to watch, more goals or more excitement is because of the star players in such teams.If you underestimate your opponent, your opponent can surprise you and you will have the chance to lose to small teams as well as being a big team.You shouldn't underestimate your opponent without having everything under control.

That is what must be paid attention to if someone wants to choose a bet in the Saudi league, where he must pay attention to the factor of which star players are at which club. Usually, teams with star players will increase their betting value compared to teams that don't have star players. So maybe that's why leagues in Saudi are competing to have star players for their teams so that their teams can get added value among other teams.

And with star players on the team, it can provide the game the team owner hopes for. It looks like sports betting will be increasingly busy with the presence of star players at several clubs in Saudi. We will see it soon at the Saudi tournament, and it will get even more interesting.

Understandably so, star players go the extra step to contribute more than their fair share in the team to help achieve and claim the win in a game. So their presence in any game would obviously have to be taken into consideration hence having such effects on the odds of a game.

I read someone’s comment about how star players may very well affect the odds of a game, they may not necessarily affect the outcome at the end and I quite agree. We’ve seen games where top teams with the best players, being favorites and having the best odds to win the game go up against smaller clubs and lose.

Indeed. When there are star players on the match, people will be more interested to watch and bet on the match. The trend or popularity of the match becomes increasing easily, that's because the star players have many big fans around the world. So, it makes sense if the potential money to earn bigger when betting on the match played by the star players.

Yes, the result of the match can't guarantee by the star players. There are many cases that the team of star players got defeated by smaller teams. Especially in a football match, it is a team game. The team which can play more solidly probably win the match. The star player isn't the main reason for a team to win the match.

Obviously, star players and not only player even the absence of the coach will affect the odd of the team to win the game and also will the bookmarkers trend with it interms of altering the odds in the game for the both teams.

Odds are very crucial when it's comes to gambling especially football gambling I know for sure even the slightest information gotten about the teams in question can alters the odds of either teams.

You are asking a very basic question for the scenario in which we operate, sports betting is not something new and even a child could tell you that if the best player on their team does not come to play, they will not have a good result.

Information is everything in sports betting, so things like injuries, recovery, morale, personal life... all it is influences to performance and therefore the team, imagine if a decisive player does not play.

So, obviously yes!

But how about if two-star players will meet in the game, who will get the higher odds? I'd think who's better to take the lead but that was too far different when their opponents have no star player. With this view of odds influence, this will also be our advantage as gamblers as we already have an idea which team will possibly win the game. I could say that there are also manipulations in gambling and casinos often gain huge betters when star players are on the field.

I think the sole proponents for odds calculation is the players feature by each team and what their stand to offer against their opponents,  that is why players purchase price differs in a lot of ways,  you can't compare a team that have star players like C Ronaldo one benzema on the same team against team that have less known players that don't have any track records or winning any awards in the football industry.

Al these are the sole proponents that determine what we see in sports bookies' dashboards as odds allocations

Hahaha, you described it well, bro. Yes, it is true that it will attract sponsors to hire star players and local players to promote their products. And that means income for everyone, the club and the players, and they will also get more money. This will make Saudi league clubs increase in popularity compared to other clubs.

Yes, the Saudi league should also prepare its local players so they can improve their performance. Moreover, they can practice matches with star players who can improve their playing skills. And if one day, the star players return to their country and are replaced by other star players, the Saudi league will still have players whose abilities and skills are equivalent to the star players.

There is no doubt that star players changes the odds of every football betting.
Where you will notice that every player that is big enough, especially strikers changes the odds or influence the odds of gambling is when you will bet on an individual to score. If there is a greater tendency that Ronaldo will score in every match that he plays that means the probability of his team winning that much is higher from this instance. You will understand that the presence of big players especially strikers that can score goals determines the odds of every football matches.
