Topic: Does match fixing concern you often? - page 5. (Read 780 times)

Small leagues have a big potential for match fixing, because sponsors for small leagues are usually not large. Therefore, the possibility of match fixing is very possible.
Small clubs that have poor finances are easily tempted by the practice of match fixing. Not a few small club players usually ask to find a football mafia bookie to fix the scores.

This is different from the high league level which prioritizes fair play, and each club is required to have good financial health.
Because this score fixing is complex, the perpetrators can be club owners, club staff, club players and even the federation.

small or local leagues, i also believe, are prone to this match fixing scheme. because for bigger leagues, it will require tons of money before it actually happens. of course, you need to pay off those top players of the team, and that translates to huge money as their reputation is on the line. besides, it is hard to fake your moves if everybody is watching on you. so as an athlete, are you going to put yourself in a compromise position where your future career is on the line? because if you will agree with this scheme, it means, you are also mentally prepared that you will lose your job as an athlete. you don't know what evidences they will provide if in case there will be lawsuit.


match fixing will always be a part of the sports. however, i think, only few can really pull it off clean and without any rumour. in some sports where few athletes are involved like boxing, UFC, or even tennis, can be of possibility as you are only talking about 2-4 players here. so the discussion and arrangement will only be with them and their respective promoter/manager. but to what gain will they get from it, why they will agree with such situation, may be the underlying factor if they will indeed nod with the plan

Well, basically yes. It is unfair to gamblers who are betting on their luck. Not all gamblers in the first place can afford a VIP Signal group to also be able to know the fixed matches and outcomes. However, from being here for years, I have never encountered problems related to it probably because of the sports I am engaging myself with which is in NBA. Match fixing is less evident to bigger leagues which quite lessen my worries.As others have mentioned, it still occurs with smaller leagues such as local mobile game tournaments to just name one. It would be frustrating to lose and know that even before the match starts, there are already players who know which team would win.

Sounds about right. We can never be too sure about anything and actually match fixing, even when revealed, takes a while to face justice so as a gambler we'd probably be getting the shorter end of the stick.
So it's actually best to gamble at leagues that have a good reputation and the most precautions at catching match fixing.

Coming from Greece where even the first league and cup are often met with investigations of math fixing, I now understand why some people refuse to actually bet on leagues of countries like mine, even locals. The EPL hasn't had a big scandal since 2013 while here there is a scandal nearly every year.

I believe match-fixing still occurs, regardless of whether it happens in a league that is not very popular or one that is very popular in Europe.
but for me, it doesn't affect my betting. because I bet on the league that I follow. I am not saying that the EPL cannot be separated from match-fixing. if there is a report, there will be an inspection, and I don't care about that. I only bet on teams that I like and whose league developments I follow.
Match fixing may be more visible in leagues that people don't pay much attention to or are not major leagues.
but it might be quite annoying when we bet on a match where there is already match-fixing, so the results may be very visible and not according to what was predicted.

We can grow from worst form to a better one and can also decrease from better to worst. In anything or activities engaged, we ensure to make good decisions that will help us today or tomorrow. Worst clubs also have fans who also places hope someday that they will be able to smile again when their perspective favorites clubs start doing better in league matches. I've witnessed quite reasonable amounts generated from the system, there are so many ways to comprehend the system and ensure we're ways on the winning sides. Match fixing happen in our present day and I've seen the vast majority earning from these games fixtures.

No experiences so far but fixed match are usually unnoticeable so nobody is going to be concerned of it. Again, nobody knows when or where will match fixing happens and with that we never know if it is pretty common to the league or not the least we can do is to suspect an unusual game to be a fixed match like when we see a stronger team being beaten pretty bad by worst team.

Most of the time, I don't even consider fixing an issue as we have always took zero tolerance policies with fixing and people involved in fixing are handed over a life ban from sports.
There are times fan cry out fixing just because the result was not as expected. I think the event of fixing in world class sports are extremely rare.
High level players and teams are concerned about the image than anything else. And whatever fixing maybe happening, they are mostly in the poorer (economically and morally) places.

Match fixing definitely happens, but it is way more prevalent on leagues that may not harbor as much attention as the most popular leagues around the world, as in that case mob bosses can intimidate the players or even the coaches in order to get their desired outcome.

However some high profile cases have appeared over the years, which make it obvious match fixing is more common than what we may think, however I prefer to not think too much about it as I cannot do anything about it anyway.

Well inasmuch as I don't believe in match fixing because every match is being bet on by gamblers so I see no amount that can be used to fix a match that people would not still win a bet and moreover how much can the team boss be able to pay in fixing too many matches in other for them to achieve their aim so you can see that a huge amount of money would be involved so even if a team boss have that intention of buying a match (match fixing) then I suggest he use the money and sign experience and tactical players then definitely his team will win more matches rather than paying huge amount just because you want to favour your team.

This sounds strange to many ears and will even be disputed at the highest levels owing to facts that are not evident but these things happen behind closed doors.

More reason why you might not see, hear or even have an evidence of its happenings.

Regulatory bodies are trying to eliminate the possibility of its existence even though they don't agree to its reality.

If we talk about football, currently football is equipped with various technological features, one of which is VAR.  one of its functions or benefits, is to avoid the practice of match fixing. However, things related to match fixing will always be interesting for those who have access to make the settings as they wish. however, is there strong evidence to worry that every match presented has the potential for match fixing? of course not, especially for the top leagues. that's why, I only bet on a few top leagues. For other leagues, especially leagues that are not well known, I am not interested at all. except, I really know this league. Therefore, it is important for us, especially those who like football, to know in depth the ins and outs. At least if there is a scenario or practice such as match fixing, we can see the difference. Even though these practices have been neatly packaged in such a way, there will always be differences that can even be suspicious. well, that's why I say, I only bet on top Leagues. apart from that, the system, technology, regulations and everything related to it are more accountable than other leagues that are not well known.

Then the question is, can match fixing happen in the top league? The answer is, maybe yes and maybe no. The problem is, we don't know as long as a case of match fixing is not revealed. at least, the top leagues are more trustworthy and I'm not worried about that. actually there are many factors that make me confident, but it's quite long if we review them. in short, for example in the Premier League, City bought a lot of great players and they spent a lot of money on them. Plus, the trainers are very competent. then why are they doing match fixing, after all they have a solid team. in fact, to get the Champions League title City had to experience many failures and in the end they succeeded for the first time. well, so my answer is very clear, I'm not worried about the top leagues that can be trusted even though the potential will always be there. but in fact, we cannot know as long as a case is not revealed.

The fact that everyone has a price makes match fixing a bit easier because the number of people gambling has risen exponentially and sometimes players aren't just paid enough!

Such leagues just make it easy to fix as fewer prying eyes means easy game for the mafias..

Actually if week in week out results aren't showing consistency,  then am never entertaining such a league as it's hurting my pocket not my viewing pleasure...and I don't want to be hard headed on such...

One of the biggest football leagues I know is the Premier league and with so many players exposed to the gambling world makes it easy for them to fix matches , and the problem is that its not always based on results but card markets can be affected, shots on target, team X not to score etc and at the moment I think the game we love has been infiltrated by these gambling mafias and there is nothing we can do!

I don't think it's happening in the higher leagues and big names are involved there's more money to be made and will be made for big names, do you think Canelo, Tank, and Crawford will involve themselves in game fixing knowing that the stake and the prestige that comes with every fight, game fixing can happen in small fights and minor leagues but when titles are involved or you are in a run to become big names in boxing every fighter do not want to involve in a controversy that may tarnish their reputation on their career.
Big names can fix the fight by cherry-picking their opponents but I don't think they will fix it by paying their opponents or organizations manipulating big names in boxing, all the news about game fixing in big circuits are just speculation.

Small league are more prone to this although there is no confirmation but we all know, it exist.
I’m also not betting in some sports in my country because I know how corrupt the organization is and its just a waste of time for me. There are rumors in a bigger league but of course they will always deny it as it can ruin their reputation and many might start doubting their integrity.

Usually the vigorish taken by the bookmakers is higher for small leagues of small countries, it means the RTP of those bets are smaller and it's hard for the punters to make profits on them. It's because there is less datas on those leagues available but also because matches are more likely to be fixed, which can lead to big losses for the bookmakers. Sumo wrestling had a very bad reputation for that, but I had recently the good surprise to see this sporting discipline appearing at some sportsbooks.

Fixing matches is for sure a big problem in sports betting.  It's tricky to catch cause folks can do it real subtle-like.  Last few years there's been some famous cases of fixes that got people looking real close at betting.  but it's still hard to stop fixes from happening. and  Could be any league but more so the small ones where teams need money more.

As for match fixing being a common occurrence in leagues I place bets at? I honestly don't know. I hope not.

Something I always put in my head: not to place bets on my country's league games. This is because in my opinion they are fixed joes. I know what I'm saying is a strong accusation, but I think that my country's league games are games in which the winner is agreed in the office and on the field the players just follow the script drawn up in the office. There are many unpleasant situations that have happened in football in my country that have led me to lose all the confidence I had in my country's league. the teams in my country's league have the same sponsors, and the companies in my country that sponsor these teams in my country are government companies and the corrupt political party that runs my country manipulates football for political gain

for example when they know that a certain province in my country doesn't like them, so the corrupt political party that governs my country makes the team from that province become champions, in this way the people of that province start to like the corrupt party in the country. my country, it is a very disgusting method but unfortunately it has been happening in my country, which is why I prefer not to bet on teams from my country and I dare say that the people in my country who I know who place sports bets, do not I've been betting on my country's league games. They prefer to bet on league games in European countries, just like I have done.

In my case, I prefer to bet on the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 games. because I trust these leagues, there are no fixed games in these leagues, they are the most popular and best leagues in the world precisely because they have quality and transparency. Due to the high volume of money that these big leagues that I mentioned move, they would hardly get involved in fixed games, knowing that the penalty would cause a catastrophe, while in leagues that don't move a lot of money there is space for fixed games to take place.

In my opinion, football is hard to fix because you can see their performance outside the field.
Also, like I've read here before, a local basketball league was caught about game fixing because of the obvious performance inside the ring.
Maybe, boxing is much easier as you are only talking about 2 fighters and they can easily make a good showdown without the audience knowing about it.
But I believe game fixing is still happening in so many forms but of course, it is hard to get hard evidence and that's the dilemma.
