Well, that proves that there is match fixing happening in sports, and it is inevitable. Some people take advantage of the fact that there are players or inside personnel that could give gamblers some information that will benefit them.
That's why I am careful with when and where I bet because I know that there are fixed matches, or sometimes people are giving information to other gamblers in order for them to have commission and earnings.
That's why we should be more careful and be aware of the matches we will bet if yoh find it too suspicious then be more cautious in order not to be taken advantage and lose moneh from unjustice losing in gambling, the player should be punished in what he do, they are not fair and should be ban from playing, that's what I hate the most, cheating and manipulating the result of the match for their own benefit.

In NBA there are player/s who've been caught cheating, like recently - Jontay Porter.

Quote
Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter has received a lifetime ban from the NBA on Wednesday after a league probe found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and wagered on games, even betting on the Raptors to lose.

So I guess in any league or sports, there is not 1% that some players are going to collude or bet on the game itself as they can influence the outcome.

It's true, that match-fixing is a big problem in some sports, and soccer hasn't been immune.

Let’s wait for the results of a thorough investigation before jumping to conclusions. If this is true, it's a major blow to the integrity of the sport. Fans want to see genuine competition, not games decided by bets. It would indeed be a grave concern for the future of football. The essence of sports lies in fair competition and the pursuit of excellence, and any form of manipulation for personal gain undermines these principles.

This is also the reason why I always bet in every big, important championship or competition because unexpected things such as manipulation and cheating for certain purposes are also very rare.
Lucas paqueta is not just an average player that's playing for one of the unpopular leagues on the globe, the dude is a renounde midfielder that's playing for west Ham so your statement is not right that this can't happen in bigger or more popular leagues.

Read again see clearly said very rare he didn't say impossible and why insert that huge ass picture, do you think you're making some point or something? Pay more attention to what people say rather than rush for your quota!


just curious, which wrestling are you talking about? If you are talking about WWE, that "sport" is scripted and the results of the "matches" there are predetermined unless something unexpected happens.

And yet this doesn't stop bookies from taking bets on the "winner" and gamblers throwing money at it.
I've never understood why in some countries it is legal to bet on predetermined things like WWE , or dumber things like an artist releasing a song this year or the end of a tv show season.

It’s called match fixing and it’s highly illegal. It happens though, there have been some very public revelations recently in the PL.

Imagine if it’s happening in a top 5 European League, how bad is it in less wealthy leagues where the players are earning less.

On his part, he doesn't show an act of sportsmanship for stopping too low to doing that kind of thing and even if he is able to win in this case, it's going to affect his carrier as officiating referee would be to observant of him whenever he is involved in any match. Wether his intentions is to help the gambling community we can't really tell but whatever is his intentions for going this extreme is very bad and such kind of act deserves a strict disciplinary measures against him

Biggest Sports Betting Scandals - https://www.gosubetting.com/blog/betting-guides/biggest-sports-betting-scandals/

We can find many more articles about cooperation between gamblers and players. One thing is for sure, the big names reach the newspapers and usually from the strong world leagues, but there are many more in the lower leagues, which are not followed by everyone and which slip under the radar.

So it's not a question of whether they can cooperate or not. The question is how much it really happens in all sporting events, can we even make any assumptions about it? For example, does this happen in 10-20% of all games worldwide? Maybe more or less?

For problems like this, I myself believe in it and indeed there is lot of manipulation or cheating that is deliberately carried out for money or other purposes such as betting, but for some sports in big competitions we can be sure that this happens very rarely.
On average, these are small competitions or competitions that are not very popular because in these competitions the prize money for the winners is not too big, so some parties take advantage of this condition to be able to regulate the course of the game with the aim of making it easier to win the bet.
I sure that almost all types of sports have experienced problems like that, but there is not much that can be published or known by the organizers.

This is also the reason why I always bet in every big, important championship or competition because unexpected things such as manipulation and cheating for certain purposes are also very rare.

Lucas paqueta just got charged by the FA for allegedly bridging betting rules. According to report, it's believed that he intentionally took yellow cards in some key matches just so some gamblers can profit from there betting.

I know wrestling and boxing are the popular sports where fixed matches is dominant but has this gotten to football we're players can intentionally foul an opponents just to be penalized with a yellow card? If this is true,  what's now the faith of proper sports? If players can't take out there personal interest out of sports and just do thier part which gives gamblers a neutral ground to thread on, then we've got a lot of problems in the sector.

What's your view on this, is it possible that such alligatoin might be true?

In the next topic (Do you believe in match fixing?) there was a discussion about match fixing (it was necessary to arrange a vote) and the majority of users declare their belief in match fixing and this problem certainly exists in sports.

If Lucas Paqueta’s involvement in this is proven, then he should certainly be punished, preferably suspended from games for some time as a warning to other athletes so that there are no match-fixings. Impunity gives rise to vice and punishment only with a fine will be a very light punishment and will have practically no proper preventive effect on repetition. Without such control, otherwise sport will turn from competition into a theater of the absurd. Sports must preserve the purity of competition.

Do not forget that football players are ordinary people who are subject to greed and all human vices. Thinking of players as responsible people who are passionate about doing everything for the team is very naive in this day and age. Everyone has a price; some have more, some have less. Everyone is bought, and everyone is sold. Don't be as fascinated by the sport as it was supposed to be. And even though football players have huge salaries by human standards, you can see some of them in very poor quality, selling or betraying the game.

yes, there is even a possibility that one or some of those bettors are betting for him. also, there is another thread recently created about match-fixing where I posted that an NBA athlete got a lifetime ban because of betting and trying to fix his team's matches.

I am surprised to see that this happened in a very popular League. And I wonder what could be the motivation for him as a player like what is in it for him. Usually this kind of things happens in less popular leagues like the local leagues. I think you should be a ban so as to serve as a warning to other players. Also players who do this are the ones who cannot become world best and win awards in the game because they are carried away by betting which offers little value in comparison to their future at the sport if they give it their best.

There are thousands of football players in the world, we should know that some of them will be corrupt to do something to make money. This should not surprise anyone and there are some other players that will do the same thing. If this can be seen in English top leagues, you can see how it can be common on other leagues, especially the lower leagues. In one way or the other, there would be manipulations.
