Topic: An obvious rigging of Sports. - page 3. (Read 2426 times)

^^I think that's the weird part. You could always bribe someone and get a guaranteed game, like yeah sure that team should lose if that's done and I get that, not approve it but rigging in sports do happen and that's alright. However one thing is for sure, even if you are going to lose, at least lose while looking like you are trying, hell I would say play to win and maybe you will lose anyway? And if you don't, if the scores are too close, fake the part on defense and not on offense, let the other team score easier and act as if you were fouled on defense, call for a hooking, basically do all the faking on defense and just act normal on offense.

At least in that case when someone asks you could say "hey we scored this much points!! Why would we sell a game that we scored this much!!" which would be a good defense. These were just some idiots, they were so bad they didn't know how to sell a game out.

Rigging definitely happens in the world of sports and there is nothing we can do about it, even with the harsh penalties imposed on the parties
involved in rigging. This does not stop the rigging from happening, there are always reports every year that some sports competitions have rigging.
As you have said, we as ordinary people can only talk about it, without being able to prevent rigging from happening. Therefore it is very important
for us to be careful in placing bets, do research on the sports events that we want to make bets.
 

CS Go.. seem highly rigged and they still go on as tournaments since there's no authority to stop them.

I don't know if it's not illegal in some countries, but in the Philippines, that is illegal as that would enter into the anti-game-fixing which is punishable by the Law. This is the specific law that I'm talking about. https://www.chanrobles.com/presidentialdecrees/presidentialdecreeno483.html

Using the description of weak teams and strong teams, you seem to be thinking that it's coordinated cheating, which I would disagree with since that would make them so obvious and the sports has no reputation for that. Cheating is not allowed in any sports, that is illegal, so if there's a cheat, usually it only involves one to two players and they are just trying to shave points as that is a kind of cheat that is not obvious to the fans.

What OP shared was really an obvious cheating, so they got easily caught. 

Cheating usually occurs, when the weak team is clearly integrated, and there is intense competition at the top, when the top team is playing with the lower team is obvious, that's where the cheating happens, and the top team will definitely give the bottom team money ,,
cheating like that has often happened in the world of football ''

Sometimes rigging happens just to let the players have an easy time, reduce the stress and well, steam roll through the enemy team, building confidence. It happens afaik, especially against newbie teams vs newbie teams, most of the time it's just who's got the bigger backing and stuff. I'd reckon that most who actually host gambling for players and referees have quite a reputation, much so that it wouldn't actually get leaked even if someone got caught or something.

A professional basketball league called VisMin cup in the Philippines had a very controversial match last night as both team shows unusual and weird game in the professional sports scene ever.

Rumors said that these both teams had to rig a game because there were a huge money involved in an online betting. But, everything's turned to be obvious that the officials had to stop the game after the 1st half because they believe something's not right that's going on, and they believe it wasn't just an off night.

Here's a video clip from this match up.

(video not mine, just for clarification purposes only)
Take note, that is a professional basketball game, and they were playing like a grade schooler. The other team had shot 0/10 ft.

Some professional basketball players in the Philippines coming from the major basketball league called PBA has shared their reactions on social media.
Most of them said "these players disrespected the game of basketball."
Some said they are even lucky to be playing despite the pandemic where a lot of professional basket players has lost their job.

I personally know that something like this has been happening since before in every sport, but with this obvious is such a huge disrespect not only for the game itself, but for the fans as well. This is such a huge fraud.

Im sharing this story for everyone who doesn't believe in fixed games in sports.

It's all about money. If rigging is somewhat possible, it will be attempted, at least. The smaller the club is, the cheaper should be to bribe them to lose a game.
Also it's difficult to track if a player or referee is gambling (indirectly, of course).

Special bets require special conditions so it is a rare one to happen and not that illegal in the essence. Throwing a game is saying something about the character of a person.

The article is in foreign language. However I understood about the key element. These days the sporting authorities too are money minded. This is where the corruption takes hand and supress the able players. I thought it was there in my country, but this has been universal and found all around. In my country we can see this happen mostly with cricket. Now this has decreased a lot than past.

Also lower series have the same issues! Take a look of this news about the last combine in Serie D. Impressive see how much corruption there is behind this game even at regional/local level. I think this is a plague that affect most of famous sports / tournament...

Since there are known and "documented" (on Wikipedia!) scandals about rigged games in Italian football - see here, or here - I don't know if anybody truly believes that this cannot happen... unless he's been living under a rock for far too many years 

It does look alot like how I'd play, if they were drunk it'd make more sense but yea throw is unfortunately not that uncommon in proposition so vigilance is required.   What is harder to detect is special bets on a certain condition not the outright so much, so a bet on scoring at a certain time or quarter or an amount would be specific give good odds and not be as obvious.
