A conflict of interest is the entanglement of an individual’s private interests with his or her professional obligations, such that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the individual’s professional actions or decisions are improperly influenced by considerations of personal financial gain.

Rigging a game does not mean putting your players in serious harm by making them play outside of their potential. That is just pushing them past their physical threshold because you do not want to lose money. You are not manipulating any part of the rules of the game, or the referees for that case, but you are pushing your team to a terrible extent which can destroy people's careers.DarkNemesis wrote:Notice how Pehaps stated: Without it being rigged, I think that was the entire point.jamn455 wrote:It is wrong, if you bet a large sum of money on your team to win, you will do anything to win the bet, even put your players in serious danger.

No, conflict of interest can be the mere appearance of wrongdoing. This usually only applies to public officials and stuff, though -- people whose ethical duties rely on the trust of the people they serve. But it could apply to a coach, too. If the players stop trusting him because of this apparent conflict of interest, then he's failed them, and he's done something unethical regardless of whether it was a "true conflict of interest."Storamin wrote:Betting on your team is an apparent conflict of interest.

Are you whipping them to make them run faster or something? I'm probably showing my lack of sports knowledge here, but aren't the players supposed to be giving their all anyway? It's not like there's a minefield you can order them to charge through (unless the sport is Extreme Beachead Assault).jamn455 wrote:Rigging a game does not mean putting your players in serious harm by making them play outside of their potential.
