I think football injury can be discussed on this thread
⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions because it will affect the odds and predictions. I don't think there's a gambler who will bet randomly without checking the main line up, where the match will be held, etc etc. Also even though the players aren't injured, there's a chance if the managers wouldn't let him to play due to few reason or his strategy. That's why I prefer to check the main line up before the match happen than looking for injured players.
One of the reason why someone will play sports betting is because they can apply their knowledge to win the game so it is unlikely that they will bet randomly but if they do, then there is a better way of doing it and that is by playing in casino games. Anything can happen in a game but it will be better if no players were injured at all because it can affect their careers badly.
Maybe there are reasons if a player isn't allowed to play even if he isn't injured but I don't think it is one of the manager's strategy. Does he think that the opposing team is weak enough and there is no need for a more stronger player to play? I think we shouldn't underestimate our foe's because many have fail because of it.
This topic should be kept alive for all the big name injuries after the world cup as well. I know there are many websites that track the injuries and such, but having one here would be great too because before we wager, sometimes we forget to check the injury list, but we are always here chatting with people meaning that we could potentially see this and remember to check the injury list.
I agree with your suggestion. This board got a dedicated topic for tracking transfers and why not about the availability of players?
