Juca Kfouri: there is no 100% solution for sports betting – 02/18/2023 – Juca Kfouri

Scandals explode around the world around sports betting houses. Yes, sports, not just football.

There have already been cases discovered in tennis and who knows how many covered up in other sports of lesser visibility.

It is part of the human race to seek easy money, and corruptors and corrupt people are there daily to prove it.

Regulating the entry and exit of the herbalist’s busy by the dozens of “bets” that infested the national environment is so obvious that it’s hard to believe that it hasn’t been done yet, because, at least, it’s a way to contain part of the money laundering and revert in taxes for Brazilian shortages.

It just doesn’t solve the essential: the fairness, or the image of decency, of the competitions.

In the case investigated in Serie B of the Brazilian Championship, it is clear how impossible it is to avoid manipulation of results and the progress of games.

A bettor invested in the occurrence of three penalties in three different games, all in the first half, and bought three defenders to commit them.

Two complied after receiving 10,000 reais in advance, but were left without the remaining promised 140,000 because the third chosen for the scoundrel was not chosen by the coach, and, although he tried to convince a teammate to commit the penalty, the plan failed .

Of that right, discounting the 450,000 paid to the three miscreants, there would be two million reais left over for the corruptor.

“Phew, I’m glad it didn’t work out!”, sigh the rare reader and the rare reader, but it’s not like that.

There were, in any case, two games with penalties manipulated in favor of two teams and to the detriment of two others. That is, from the sporting point of view, the disgrace was consummated. And the police only got into the plot because the president of the club whose player failed found out about everything thanks to the charges made by the corruptors. That is, these things only come to light when they don’t work out.

In the early days, football folkloric times, players and referees were bought by top hats or fanatical fans for the joy of victory, of being champion or not being relegated. It was just as wrong, adviser Acácio will say, but it was the heart that spoke louder, not the pocket.

In times of global and digital communication, there is little to do to avoid the parallel market created by the world of betting, and we will have to live with this problem that leaves us with our ears standing whenever there is a grotesque error, a colossal zebra, on the lawn or on the courts, pools, rings and tracks.

We are facing a blind alley, a window that inevitably leads to corruption.

Contacts are still eye to eye, especially when made by apprentices in the propinoduct art. Professionals are already years ahead, algorithms as allies to make calculations and projections.

Welcome to digital piracy.

Echoes of the Derby

“The proof that Corinthians was better and deserved to win is that Weverton worked much harder than Cássio”, said a fan enraged by what he considered injustice in Itaquera, in the 2-2 of the Derby, more aquatic than grammatical and very good .

This is one of the often repeated fallacies in football, as the goalkeeper is paid to defend.

Rony played more than Yuri Alberto. Why doesn’t reasoning apply to the striker?
