How often do public perceptions and media narratives influence betting odds in ongoing leagues, and how can bettors exploit these discrepancies to find value bets?
This doesn't affect me in any way since I know that if it is a real match, there is nothing the media can do about it, it's all about the teams involved, there past and present information is key to selecting the right side. But this doesn't mean it doesn't affect some people, people are gullible, what do you expect? But the truth remains that if the media cries from now till tomorrow in terms of hypes and downgrading of a team for another, "what will be will be." This is not some sort of online market where rumour, hype, fake news and others can have a huge influence over them.
-snip-Thier are different sources of information from the media and some sources are filled with emotion and false information, those aren't the once to be taken seriously but the ones that are of a legit source should give you an idea and a guide on how to go about certain games.
Your points are valid and the media is also a way to go in sorting good information but bad information is increasing too. This is why, at this juncture, it's good to define the kind of media we are talking about. If it is the mature outlets where the notable names analyse and speak their mind without bias or gain, then it's fine by me.

What I won't allow is the rampant social media random talk get me, it's not my thing. I go to trusted websites in my leisure time to surf for facts and blend them together for the the purpose of what I need them for. This is more honourable to me than how people do it to the point that they will be tossed up and down by the so-called influencers and others who are just there to attract more traffic. Online discussions these days pisses me off more than it encourages me to watch and trust it.
