Match-fixing happens in smaller leagues mostly because those who accept such offers are probably not paid very well, and when you get an offer that you can't afford to refuse, you will think of doing it if the amount is life-changing. You say that fixing is easier to detect in smaller leagues, but I would say it's the other way around; those who do match-fixing on smaller leagues understand that there isn't a lot of attention given to those leagues, and this makes it easier for them to execute their plans and earn money from it.
It's not that such things are usually caught; it's only a few incidents and occasions where the fixers are caught, and cases go into the investigation. Otherwise, such things probably happen more often but go unnoticed. In bigger leagues and tournaments, fixers need to do it more sophisticatedly so that it's not easy to spot that something is wrong.

Crazy for those players who still want to get involve in this activities think that they could pass these illegal actions they do. Then I guess what happen to that player is certain indicator that match mixing nowadays is easily to be detected since technology now is advancing.
Better for other people not to do or thinking about this act since provably that they will just ruin their career and they might not play again on the sports they love. I also don't want to bet on smaller leagues especially if I know that there are series of fix matching incident happen since its not good especially if you are just a regular bettor.

This is a fact, and many of these match fixings happen there. There's already a thread on this section on the same topic as this example.It is this thread - Match fixing that I am talking.
Any professional that gets caught with how they've sold the game based on how they have wasted time or did something unusual have prolly sold their careers already.
Match-fixing is in tennis too.
Bernard Tomic is the one. It is assumed that he purposely lost in two matches. The first was to Russian Roman Safiullin at the 2022 Australian Open and then to Frenchman Quentin Halys in Turkey in late 2021. It was even the bookmakers that reported to the authorities. What stood out for me in these cases of match fixing is that no matter how long ago it happens it will still be brought back for investigations.
And it is not any easy thing to pick out what looks like a fixed match and the definitions are not clear. If a person who is investigated for match fixing is later found out to not be involved will there be any compensation for the person knowing that he name is already out there linked to an alleged match fixing issue.

Whenever there are fake pauses in the game, one can suspect the one who is dragging the game out to gain an advantage. How often have we seen football players "playing" injuries, dragging out time, using dozens of moments when either the score of the current game is already favorable to the team, or looking like "sleepy flies," giving the impression of yard football? Nowadays, it is tough to deceive referees, since VAR will always show all the events down to the smallest detail, but there are still tricks of the football players themselves, who are ready to sell the game and thereby receive considerable monetary compensation from the opponent.
This is the second case of match fixing that I have seen, the first one was Son Jun ho’s match fixing that made them ban him from playing football in his team and also for his country and this now is another case.
I keep wondering; how much did this people receive that would make them make such a risky decision of playing their match according to the info they got from the people that paid for the match to be fixed - to me 4 years ban isn’t enough - if caught I believe such player shouldn’t be allowed to return back; although I know that this incident will ruin his reputation and chance of getting into any big league again.
Match fixing rare to found on big league but the most famous is Calciopoli which this scandal makes Juventus have to relegated to Serie B and if found guilty the punishment will be different it will depending on the severity of the match fixing itself but mostly those who involved in this cases will received 4 year until lifetime banned and certainly this punishment will ruin the career of those athlete because i am sure there were no clubs who want to hire them anymore because their reputation so that's why usually the athlete who received banned from sport because this case will retired early so this is not worth because they will bet their own career I keep wondering; how much did this people receive that would make them make such a risky decision of playing their match according to the info they got from the people that paid for the match to be fixed - to me 4 years ban isn’t enough - if caught I believe such player shouldn’t be allowed to return back; although I know that this incident will ruin his reputation and chance of getting into any big league again.
The player will most likely receive a fairly severe punishment for what he did, because Serie A is one of the best leagues in the world, and what he did was a form of violation of the rules that should not be done by professional players, especially for those who play in a big league like that. Whatever the reason, match fixing is not allowed because it will harm many parties and set a bad example for future generations, and the perpetrators of this match fixing should receive a harsh punishment for the despicable actions they have committed.
Match fixing in football exists, and the news that emerges is no longer surprising, if there is something revealed, there is actually much more that has not been or is not revealed. Sometimes the oddity that occurs in a match could be a match fixing but it could not be, and actually match fixing does not always occur in small leagues or small events but has also occurred in big leagues and involved big clubs too, in Serie A and Ligue 1 there are clubs that have been proven to do it.
The reason for the incredible development of fixed matches is the incredible profit: underground and legal betting offices annually accept bets for billions of dollars.
Football is the main and dirtiest sport, where incredible money is circulated, therefore there is the greatest concentration of fixed matches here.
That wouldn't have been able to happen if no one dared to try it. But we are in the situation of no return where match-fixing has been widely spread and become a practice by some manipulators. I could imagine how gambling looks like years from now if the situation is getting worse. And I see the negative impact it creates, resulting in unfair results. That is why I don't spend money on this game, nor do I give interest. We were supposed to promote gambling fairness, but what happens now is the opposite. Football is the main and dirtiest sport, where incredible money is circulated, therefore there is the greatest concentration of fixed matches here.

Rarely do these fraud news end up being penalized, a few days ago the Sevilla player Kike Salas was arrested by the police during a training session to question him about alleged fraud, it is believed that he is linked to the intentional obtaining of yellow cards to favor those close to him in illegal bets during last season and curiously he was not suspended and played the match this Saturday, although the investigation continues, it will surely not result in anything given that these cases are very subjective and difficult to condemn.
This is a funny type of fixed match - "wasting time". I once came across a review of the book "Kings of Fixed Matches" which described many types of fixed matches. There was a type of fixed match when its initiators tried to turn off the lights in the stadium by damaging the wiring. Sometimes they did it themselves, sometimes they negotiated with electricians. Sometimes the initiators resorted to direct bribing of players. But I must say that sometimes the results of the match are difficult to fix even despite bribing the players. Especially when the initiators of the fixed matches need complex results, such as different exact scores in different matches.
This is the second case of match fixing that I have seen, the first one was Son Jun ho’s match fixing that made them ban him from playing football in his team and also for his country and this now is another case.
I keep wondering; how much did this people receive that would make them make such a risky decision of playing their match according to the info they got from the people that paid for the match to be fixed - to me 4 years ban isn’t enough - if caught I believe such player shouldn’t be allowed to return back; although I know that this incident will ruin his reputation and chance of getting into any big league again.

That is what was going through my head while I was reading this news, a four year sanction upon a player who is willing to commit this type of crime is not enough, it feels like a slap on the wrist, considering his behavior could have cost millions of dollars from bettors who were trying to make some money of that specific match, for the sake of criminals getting most of it.
In my opinion, if a player is willing to partake in match fixing, such person would not only be banned for life from ever having a position in an official league again, they should also face time in prison a couple of years.
That sounds rather as a better detriment than just allowing a criminal to wanted around free, seeking over options to rip people off their hard-earned money.
Match fixing happens everywhere but it is only easier to detect in the smaller leagues
I saw this few days ago, I was going to post it but got busy.. the idea f match fixing is really becoming something else. It has to be stopped soon so it doesn't ruin so many things and important players gets sanctioned or punished. Though there might not be any full price or evidence that say the player himself is guilty of match fixing in some cases it's just some random conclusions and observations.. but the idea is becoming more rampant and should be stopped soon..
I think there has to be clearer rules as regards match fixing, because from another perspective, how does a goalie or player in summary, who wastes time to help his team secure all three points be faulted and investigated for match fixing because he held onto the ball too long. Isn't a referees yellow or red card enough to settle this confusion instead of putting the careers of this promising players on the line?
Unless there is evidence to show their involvement having received instructions on fixing the said matches along with details of funds received as part of return for a job well done, then there isn't much qualms because this might just be another smoke screen to hide a much bigger agenda that Udine is involved in.
The owner is alleged to be involved. So ask yourself this question. If you were the owner and you wanted to pull something like this off, who would you pick? The goalie right. You can see how he got involved.
For the seek of his football career, I really hope he's not complicit and this is just an accusation and nothing more because it's not worth it.
Imagine what they wasted. That's what I am thinking about after reading this.
Let's just say they make $5000 a month for the lowest but the man was a goalkeeper so I bet he is making more.
*After checking he is making £14,266 per week. £741,850 per season.
Now, is it really worth it or did he make a bad mistake that he will forever think about and be a nightmare of his life? Yeah, I think it will be a damn nightmare.
Some people just won't think about what they are going to lose financially in the long-term because of the good offer short-term. That's where mistakes are often made and this could be one good example of that.
After reading the news, it was said that they are still being investigated but I hope something good will come up to make this a lesson to every professional player. Don't even think about trying it.
Was he drunk when accepted this kind of offer? I thought match fixing mainly happens in low leagues where salaries are usually small but this case is an example that it can happen anywhere. If this allegation is true, it's clear proof that we were driven by greed. He deserves to be punished if he is found guilty because match fixing could destroy the reputation of sports. Once fans begin to see games as fixed, the entertainment and interest of watching these games will die naturally. Let's wait till investigations are concluded to see if he is guilty or innocent.

this case is going to be a big blow for Maduka Okoye who is even struggling to get enough playing time in his national team since Stanley nwabali came into the picture and now his entire career will take a totally different turn dpepending on the outcome of this investigation.
to be honest, even if the investigation proved that he isn't part of any match-fixing, it still could negatively affect his career, a lot of sponsors or teams usually avoid players that have been linked(even if it may be true or not) scandals and couple that with what you mentioned where he is already having a hard time getting enough play time, this investigation could further affect that.

And how are you going to see the pattern?
Do you know who bets on what kind of event on what bookie and how large the sums are?
You could have watched the match and seen nothing, just a stupid guy getting a yellow card for nothing, how would anyone think this was a setup?

Identifying patterns or suspicious activity related to match-fixing or other potential match-fixing in football, although challenging, is possible through data investigation and analysis.
This primarily concerns statistical anomalies. It also concerns suspicious player behavior, unusual or unexplained actions on the pitch.
For example, unusually large bets or sudden changes in odds before a match may indicate insider information or manipulation. And so on.
Did you actually read what I wrote or you just made this wall of nonsense just to make a reply?
How would you, a person who has no access to this data know of such a pattern?
Second, if bookies who for sure can see bets that exceed usually anomalies are not willing to disclose them, how would you know?
You said that you could see such things if they happen, well did you see the unusual bet on the yellow ticket? No, you didn't, so based on your logic it didn't happen!

Okay, we see it now, and we haven't seen the actual verification of the news about the news, but if it really happens then this is a stupid action as a soccer player, we can still say this as a presumption, because in the news it is indicated not to be guilty of guilty .
If this is true, then most likely some events have been successful before but not indicated on the field and run smoothly without us knowing, such things might happen, match arrangements have always been a serious conversation because it will harm many people, especially gamblers who bet, result The match did not become generic because of fraud in one of the parties who bet.
