| | cantar fuera (cuando ha entrago) | Explanation:
Hola Pilar,
al no haber jueces en el tenis no profesional, uno puede hacer trampas y cantar fuera una bola cuando ha entrado o ha botado en la línea. Después el contrario te puede devolver la "jugada" (a eso hace referencia "cheat back")
Por ejemplo: Let’s begin our discussion with violations that affect the score. The most common violation in this category involves line calls. Now, to be honest, each of us has made a bad call now and then.

en algunos deportes se llaman faltas, o "faults"

De acuerdo con Horticulturalist, pero siempre son decisiones negativas para uno mismo en este caso, como dice "if they receive bad calls" - o sea, si los hijos de uno recibe decisiones injustas contra ellos - lo que no tiene sentido es "cheat back" ???? quizás "sit back"

"Diles que si les pitan en contra (los árbitros), hagan trampas".

In the specific case of tennis, I think Javier is right and would be "cantar fuera". In sports in general, "error arbitral".

4 hrs confidence: fallos erróneos en contra
Explanation:
Bad calls no solo se refieren a lo que menciona la respuesta que elegiste, Pilar. Siempre se trata de "algo" que ha cantado erróneamente el juez de línea -refrendado por el juez del partido- o por el propio juez en contra de un jugador. Puede tratarse de una falta de pie que no existió, una doble falta que no fue tal, una pelota que salió pero fue convalidada como buena o viceversa, e inclusive un supuesto insulto de un jugador, por el que el juez le da un "warning" o "advertencia" en primera instancia y le quita un punto si se repite la situación (un insulto o "abuso de raqueta", que es cuando el jugador rompe una raqueta).
