Oh boy! We can't tell if that guy really gave you a tip or just like a wolf hiding in sheep's skin Huh

. Hmm, If I were be on that situation then probably I'll choose to not bet anymore simply because worse regrets might feel once you lose. If you listen and you lose then you will even blame yourself for trusting that guy; on the other hand, you will also feel so much regret for not listening to him if he is right. It was such a pain in the butt to think those kind of things, I really hate overthinking. So what would I do is to postpone my bet and do it next time.

Makes sense if you cannot verify it's better to not bet at all, you will just disappoint yourself because you are now thinking two outcomes, it's either true or not, so it's better not bet for that match and see the outcome and if you are going to be a victim of false information.

Much better to not to allow yourself to regret things as both sides there's chances that fate will play with you, not betting from that particular event will save you both time and your money. Plus the stress that will be bring by this misinformation that will encircle to your mind. Else, if you are sure enough with your original pick and you are willing to handle whatever outcome brings you bet with smile and hope that it will give you the win that you expect.

Ok this actually happens to my friend not so long ago, he is going on a boxing match and he will bet for the heavy favorite, then suddenly an unknown guy whisper to him, that the fight is going to be fixed and he supposedly heard it from the favorite to win, locker room, are you going to listen to that and bet for the underdog.

What's your take?

If I find out about such a thing my reaction will be to not bet on that particular fight and if possible I will never place a bet on the fights of those fighters ever again, there is a reason why fixing a sporting event is not only wrong but even illegal in many countries and that is because you expect that each participant has a desire to win and that they do everything they can to reach victory, once they break away from that principle then any competition becomes a joke and it is not worth watching it anymore.

It's a risk and it may sometimes be worth to take the risk. If i were at your side, i would have listen to my friend and take the risk. Also you know that if you go against the majority of the bets, you get the better amount on winning such bets.

You still need to verify if the source is reliable and besides not all bettors can bet on underdogs, only brave bettors go and gamble for underdogs only veteran gamblers with an appetite for high-risk betting, if he happens to have this trait he'll go bet for the underdog whether the news is reliable or not. of course we all love to win big amount on betting in an underdog if he can verify the news and it turn out to be true then you're one lucky guy

it is true that some time underdogs also perform and win matches, so taking risk is worthy if the winning price of underdog is good then we can take risk, but same time i will split and bet and i will also bet on favourite also as if he wins then atleast will get back the lost amount

I wouldn't trust the words of a man I don't even know and would bet on a heavy boxer. I understand your friend was analyzing the outcome of the match and changing his choice because of the stranger's opinion is foolish.

Someone's been kidding obviously

Really, why would you seriously expect a totally random dude to tell you something which, if true, would let you grab easy money? There is no reason in doing this, i.e. the only reason that you can come up with is someone trying to make a fool of you. As the famous (or infamous, depending on your stance) con artist Joseph Weil (aka Yellow Kid) once said, each of his victims had larceny in their heart. So it is the same here with the aim to make your greed cloud your reason and common sense (for the fun of it)

LOL no. Why do you think some guy is telling random strangers about this? It's likely they have "whisperers" in games like this trying to sway the way some bettors would bet.

If I'm throwing away money on something uncertain to begin with, might as well solve that uncertainty myself.

Probably, I'll wouldn't put any bets just to be sure. Besides I wouldn't take any advice from unknown guy because there is a possibility that they are just only manipulate the bets. Moreover if it is really a fixed fight then the people only knows about it are the boxer and their managers not just a random guy.

Mystery guy can always be there to play with your emotions. They can manipulate you as there's also greed inside you. Thinking that there's a chance that the whisper can be true and bring a huge benefit. Though most of the time, it's not accurate not unless it's not a mystery person but an actual fixers from the gambling business.

It's not new anymore that gambling industry have this kind of activities. The market is full of greedy people who always wanted to earn even doing illegal things.

I would probably not bet at all on that match, not anymore. I would be mixed between my initial bet and the "new info" that could be real or fake.

Quote from: ?? on ??

These things happen a lot in every sports. Bookies buy the players according to the bets placed on them so that they can always remain in profit and share the amount with the players as well Wink

it's not provably fair game, specially when the elements of the games (players) are human beings and prone to greed Cheesy

It doesn't happen very often in every sports, i've been betting(for a few years) in almost every sports and not a single match that I followed had suspicion of match fixing. On less popular leagues it's possible because they could get paid higher through fixing but on the top leagues money is less of a problem. With that being said the players will always put their best until they get to the top rather than pull a fix.

Quote from: robelneo on September 27, 2019, 08:58:13 AM

What's your take?

I prefer staying out of the situation and just watch the match because if it loses I would feel like an idiot for taking such random advice.

Since it was said by unknown guy, much better if I won't continue to place a bet, atleast my mind is calm or I'll ask that guy to show his own bet. If he didn't want to then he is obviously saying a lie. Anyway op, what happened to the fight? Who won? Of course, you've asked your friend who won, right? You should have posted it as well in order to make your story really believable.

Well question to be answered is “who’s the guy whispered your friend?is he legit or just random person that spreading lies?this is important to this issue

Second question “Who Wins” in that fight?does the whisperer is right or not?but even if he gets it right still maybe he is just lucky

I will never listen to anyone when betting because I usually bet in my favorite an because I trust he’s capacity to win and not just because I bet on him

We're already in the 21th century and I doubt that we still under the 'boxing fix matches' era. If this is the 60's then it's possible that boxing match are fix because of the so called involvement of mafia.

With that said, I won't believed that unknown guy, boxing fans usually don't listen to this kind of whispers because they know the caliber of the fighters involved. And if ever a favorite fighter took a dive just for the sake of making money for him or for some organizations then I'm sure he will be investigate and could be ban for life.

Why not? Most of the time those kind of whispers are good to bet. Mostly, I have experienced that on horse gambling and I would say I won good money.

So I might throw some money in there, just for the sake for to see if it is real or not or just a coincidence, still there is money to be won here, so I will go with that whispers and see how it goes.

I would stick to my first pick. Maybe the stranger already placed his bet on the favorite and wants to improve his chances of winning more money by encouraging others to bet on the other side. I'm curious to what happened to the fight, who won?

The game will go against or for any of the bet picked by the two players, as there was no record for the winner of the game in OP write up. Actually I will believed that, the game went well with one of the picked as it will be impossible for the two games to go through. I have been a victim for this circumstances not even twice but learnt my lesson of not going by my pick alone neither stick with pick of a friend. After place bet on my pick, I also pick from good gamblers friends I have around me.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

First of all I'll make a fast analysis of the man who whispered that to me. If I decide he is at least a bit trustworthy and could have really got the tip from somewhere I'll definitely place a small bet on the underdog. My philosophy when gambling is "always do it for fun and nothing else!" so taking that into account I would still place a bet on my favorite player.

Most of these so-called "whisperers" at matches just want to fool people. Let's think about it.. why would he share this tip with you? Being serious now, how many people going to boxing matches are kind and willing to make other people money Roll Eyes

First of all i never bet on favorite because i know favorite mostly lose. I will also not listen to gossips that happened in Locker room as it could be rumors.
I will watch the match to some extent and see who is playing better and then bet on it.
