But, I believe arranging the game result is not all that easy, after all telling a team to lose could be a difficult situation, if they are in need of points then they would reject that offer, but telling a player to accept 1 million euro payment whereas you pay 2 million euro in some other way (commercials for example) instead of paying that player 3 million, could be "cheating" too, that's more common. I believe it is not really as common as people really imagine when teams know the result who will lose or not.
Yes, it's not easy but that's a fact, this dirty method is usually done by small leagues and is not possible in big leagues or big matches, although it is possible that it could happen in big leagues where one of the important players is paid by someone to play badly in a certain match, for example a striker is paid to throw the ball away and not aim for the goal or not score a goal for his club or a player in the back line to create gaps for the opponent to score.
I once heard a former football player tell how he was paid to make his club lose even though his club was very favored, that's why I'm not too interested in matches from less popular and small leagues, I prefer to bet on sports betting with big leagues in European leagues. we usually see it in the Bundesliga, EPL, Italian League, Laliga, Ligue1, UCL and UEL
I mean even in small leagues, if a teams loss doesn't really mean anything by the near end of the season then I can understand it, but early on the season? I feel like losing would be too bad, what if that team unexpectedly starts to be the title contender? I mean that would not be all that acceptable for them to accept money and lose.
I think you can still arrange games, but not all games can be fixed, you need to pick the games, a loss should mean absolutely nothing for a team to accept something like that, otherwise it doesn't make sense for them to continue. I hope that people could realize that match fixing is harder to do, however, what we could have is individual stuff, like I wouldn't be shocked if a player bets on getting a red card, goes out and actually gets a red card.
