It bothers me to ask, that imagine you placed a bet and somehow you have 80% assurance that it would come out successful. And on the process of waiting for the game to end there was some racism manipulation in the game which made you lost the game. It could be football or other sports cause its mostly found in sports.

Next time would you choose to not bet on a particular game because you feel the members of the VAR, or the referee are racist, and you are sure that there would be some manipulation?

I’m not familiar on racism effects on sports since I never witness one when watching sports. I think you are pertaining to football since you mention VAR which I didn’t watch frequently. Can you share example scenario that describes this racism acts on sports so that non football player can easily catch up to your topic?

I will comment on the literal description of racism, Most of the team has a players import from different country which racism is very common. I think completely avoiding on sports that allows it is the right move to totally get rid the risk of experiencing it.

I’m placing bets mostly in basketball and volleyball which this kind of issue is non-existent or at least not a big deal will give an impact to the game.

One can gamble on anything just to have fun. If you don't like betting on games that encourage racism, then stay away from it, so that you don't end up regretting your bet. U believe that big leagues hardly do allow racism to come into their games, and this is why those leagues are still the best to bet on for credibility. There are some people that enjoys taking advantage of this manipulations to win their bet, and they will be looking for underdog matches to bet on, and at the same time, they are trying to get the information on the team that the manipulation will favor, so that they can bet on the team with huge funds to hit it big.

This is why it is called gamble; some prefer to win in a tricky way, through match fixing, and glitch in casinos that have not been noticed. To avoid been scared of gambling in a match that is fixed, only gamble on big leagues, and only use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble.

Do you avoid some games because of racism?

It is certain that avoiding games that are detected to have indications of Radicalism or Racism is one of the actions that should be taken. We know that if racism occurs in one of the gambling games, this can create a system, for example the VAR member who is the most powerful, this will have an impact on bettors by losing money and there can be VAR manipulation of the referee's decisions.

Racism can force those in power to make quite harsh behavioral changes and this can be detrimental to many parties, teams, gamblers and many others. This is clearly bad behavior in the world of gambling and needs to be avoided.

Personally I don't believe there is racism in football because everything is visual and can not be manipulated the world has advanced in some level of technology where it is impossible to manipulate matches. There might be some mistakes made by referees in the pitch but doesn't implies that it was a racism. Whenever a referee made mistake in his judgement, the scenerio will be displayed. because he can not do all by itself Alone thats why we have men in the control room and also last man and commentators. Not all mistake are displayed on the pitch. may be just those that where not properly checked and was judge wrongly become a racist match to you. You should get it know that there is no %100 accuracy in everything we do on earth. There must be some kind of error which the error will favour or disappoint the other.

I've never found news about neutral sides (referees or VAR officials) on the field committing racism, racist behavior is usually made by players because of certain backgrounds, it could be because of a heated atmosphere or hatred. Apart from that, can you give examples of the cases you mentioned? It will make the topic stronger if it has legitimate references.

Like Barcelona bribe the referees right? well I won't avoid the games, but actually I will put my bet on Barcelona even though they face stronger teams e.g. Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, as long as the odds is worth to bet, I will bet.

So if you're a Madridista, don't force yourself to bet on your teams when you know Barcelona will bribe the referees.

There's probably a committee or a board that will oversee this issue and I think that most people that would commit such heinous acts of racism is in my opinion handled pretty quickly and with heavy punishment and most of these racist incidents in sports are going to be detrimental to the revenue of the league, take NBA as a hypothetical example, when there's a blatant racism that's happening in the court and at the same time it's not being punished by any means, a lot of people would probably be turned off with what's happening and the act of not dealing with it would lead to less people watching the games and with less people buying tickets to watch the games, the revenue of the league would be affected and they either tolerate racism and have less money until they become a small league if not bankrupt or deal with it and let the people know that racism isn't tolerated in any way, shape or form in the league and the offenders would be faced with heavy fines and suspensions if not full termination.

Not all referees are racist, and not all games will the referee favour people of his same race more than the other, so trying to avoid betting on a team you are 80% sure they are likely to win a game is not a quality of a good gambler, because while gambling involves taking risk, this is not a level of risk any good gambler should ever be scared off, hence gamble on the teams you are sured to perform best, while leave the rest to God who is the author and finisher of all things.

This happened a lot of times in boxing and I lost because of the obvious reason being rigged because of racism. Maybe this is the new normal nowadays in sports but yeah hard to predict when will happen so we really are left being disappointed with results though we just accept and move on.

I only go for big boxing game like the Anthony Joshua versus Francis Ngannou that we are expecting to come. These kind of boxing matches can not be manipulated. I can say I hardly bet more than 3 boxing games in a year. I prefer football and I do not think there is racism in big leagues. Underdog leagues is where that can happen and I can not go for it. To what I have known, I do not see racism in the matches that I go for.

This behavior has been around for long amongst some sports officials. A lot of time, we witness these racism even in front of camera where the referee would be forced to call fr a card. This isn't supposed to be so. Sports are meant to be for fun and friendly. We shouldn't bring in our differences when it comes to sports.
For some gamblers, they don't care about such things so long they make their bets and such racism acts don't cuts their games. You shouldn't mind such thing that much when you gamble so long you understand the games.you just have to ignore such acts and place your bets. I've noticed this a lot of time and I really dont mind that much, so long my games plays in.

The truth is that on sports betting no game is actually certain that it will likely play on your exact prediction because we have seen so many big teams that plays with smaller clubs and end up losing the match at the end when they have the best player that was supposed to deliver them but they had to lose the match because of underestimating the smaller club, so for me we shouldn't feel that since you had 80% confident that your game will play and at the end it went the opposite doesn't mean that is because of racism because one thing I love about sports is that everything is being checked and replay back if the need arises so there is no way racism can affect any match.

Money is money. As long as it is legal to make that money, somebody will make it. If some people think like you and ignore those “racist bets”, somebody else will collect that money. Think like a businessman don’t let your emotions get in your way. It will only make you poor in the long run. People who got rich think like computers. They are emotionless. They often don’t care about ethics too. Why should you? If you want to fight racism, you can take advantage of those bets, collect the profits and make a donation to an anti-racism organization.

Let's still assume that the 80% assurance is on assumption because the least assurance in stressing to winning while gambling is at 0% as long gambling is concerned a game of luck.
However, that racist shits of cutting off ones games happens only on live bets where the VAR, Referees and some top moderators in the game have their personal interests while the game is currently ongoing.

So, if I have come to be a better observer towards the above being racists, of course I would bet on the other side to win, afterall they are not against my prediction but their interest in the game between the teams and all I am concerned about is to count winning.
So, I would still bet on the game but at the safer side to secure my winning.

I wouldn't call it racism though, but perhaps it is biased on the other team? But I don't know if this is just for football as I don't bet on them. But let's say in boxing, judges can influence the outcome or if the match is place on the hometown of one of the players and so obviously there is something we called "home cook" decision. And in this case the home town boxer is giving the preference to win the fight despite that it's obvious that the other fighter did enough to win and it's very clear except the judges or even the referee favoring the home town boxer or maybe make a 10 count longer than usual.

And because of that I always bet on popular major leagues, such as La Liga or the Premier League, because I think that the chance of manipulation in such a big league is very slim and usually the competition will be run and monitored by many parties, so the possibility of cheating is very small. Because usually cheating or manipulation will occur in smaller leagues, for example the league in my country, where cheating and manipulation often occur with referees or other stakeholders, and this is very detrimental for bettors who want to bet on their favorite team.

To avoid matches that can be manipulated, I go for just big leagues like the EPL, Serial A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Lique 2 and some others. I only think that the lower leagues that are not common are the ones that can be manipulated because I can still go for second and third leagues like Championship, Serial B, Lique 2 and others which are common and well known. I also still go for leagues in countries like Brazil and Argentina. But there are some that are very low leagues that I can not go for.

Thank you for bringing this up because it has become a thing of concern to me. I noticed that in some leagues, the home team will always win whereas it is not like that in other leagues. I have tried asking questions in the past and I was told that the officials do their best to favor the home sides in order to save their head. I don't know if this can be called racism though.

Even the bookies usually give smaller odds to the home side irrespective of the strength of the away team. So to avoid losses, I usually avoid leagues where I notice this to be a norm. I want to play matches that I know there is fairness in the officiating as that will make me relaxed that the match will follow prediction.
