I recently watched an interesting video where the author claimed that in many cases it is not that difficult to predict the outcome of a sports match, because bookmakers are interested in a certain outcome of the match and implicitly influence the outcome of this match. I will not publish a link to this and other similar videos here, so as not to engage in free advertising.
What is important is something else. In the video, the author claimed that modern bookmakers are so powerful that they are actually the source of players' salaries. Most of the games that are included in the bookmaker's line are not completely honest, although this is not customary to talk about. According to the author, the team as a whole is hinted at how they should play so that the team's funding continues. This mainly concerned football.
By the way, as the author claims, if we take teams from lower divisions that are subsidized by local budgets, then there too it is often easy to predict the outcome of a match. There are local teams that at certain times stop being financed by local municipalities (in poor countries) and the teams simply "dump" the match. After all, what is the point of playing for a victory for a professional team if it understands that the money for financing it was either not allocated or was sharply reduced?
And what do you think - does the bookmaker influence the outcome of sports matches?
Is this situation different for different sports? Is football unique in this sense?

Bookmakers are, in reality, businesses that attempt to rank races based on wins. You should balance the money spent on each side of the tournament to limit money laundering. Although these are important in ensuring they make a profit. However, the concept of them having a direct influence on the outcome of the tournament can be an exaggeration. This can be the cause of massive cheating in most sports. The biggest part of it is illegal and hard to hide Especially at the highest level
Major leagues and competitions, such as football, have strict rules and controls to prevent match fixing or manipulation. This is primarily because such activities infringe on the integrity of the game. Organizations like FIFA, UEFA, and national federations are investing much in cleaning up the sport. And while scandals like those of match fixing will have happened in the past, well known and penalized severely, The clearer the reaction will be. The harder it will be to analyze the findings missed.
However, more publicity or highly illegal sports sometimes results in monetary pressure or even fraud. But when the club is on its head due to financial problems, then perhaps the temptation might be there to throw matches or to get players involved in betting. It can especially be so in poor countries or lower leagues. The rules are not very tight regarding control.
If this is unique in this way, then the same pressures and potential losses could always be directed to other sports. For example, tennis has not been without its tournament scandals over the years, especially at grassroots competitions where most of its players earn nothing or very little.
I don't think that's possible, I used to think that bookmakers can actually work together and probably bribe those officiating a match to change the outcome but if you give it a little thought you would come up with the realization that it's not possible because it's no legal to do such. If bookmakers can influence the outcome of certain games it would affect the reputation of some clubs, so the possibility of this is very low. The outcome of a match solely depends on what happens in the pitch and how the game is been played and bookmakers have no control over it.
I have no doubt that it raises serious ethical and legal concerns for anyone to even suggest a bookmaker can actually affect the outcome of a match. The integrity of the sport is paramount. And widespread distortion will certainly damage the reputations of clubs and the sport itself.
Although there are very few cases of fixing matches, But they are always investigated and get pretty severe punishment. This accounts for all the efforts made to ensure a fair play of the game. The match's result will finally depend on the performance of players on field. And any intention of the bookmaker to distort may get exposed. Considering the fact that it is the sports agency who distorts what to do.
However, instability in financial matters for the lower divisions, as dealt with earlier, would portray deficits. Still, I believe it would be important to distinguish the experiences accumulated here from the professional sport experiences. Where most football is played fair and square and the unpredictability of games is what makes sports exciting for both fans and gamblers. Protecting privacy must always come first.
I can't really say that bookmakers influences the outcome of matches %100 but I believe it to be slightly true. Because the way some Match usually ends always baffles most people and makes them believe the Match could have been fixed or controlled by the bookmakers but there is no concrete prove. I have heard many people complain about this kind of situation but who will believe you when there is no evidence? but like I said before, even if it's true how can people believe when there is no evidence? I believe this usually happen in some local team just like @lovemayfamiles said. I think a thread similar to this was created some weeks ago that was related to this.
Although it is hard to identify the authority unmistakably. However, the notion that some matches are questionable raises questions in the minds of fans and bettors. Of course, sometimes the outcome of some games can be inconceivable. This is a reason for recommendations to create matches or multiplayer. But as you say, If there's no clear evidence These claims remain pure speculation. Especially in some local leagues. This can create an environment where doubts arise. Especially when there is financial instability. As we have seen in previous scandals, investigation of any allegations thorough detail is essential to the integrity of the sport.
I still feel that these are the essential debates that should help us analyze the problems of sports betting and other factors that lead to winning a match. Every individual needs to be cautious and encourage health care in all sporting events. For the eradication of problems that might occur
