not only in brazil, many other countries do it like that, for example fixing scores in matches, therefore I have never been interested in betting on the minor leagues because there is potentially a lot of cheating there, that's why betting on the big leagues is safer even though sometimes I often see clubs big lose against small club i always thought there was a game in it, but i thought maybe it was just bad luck, lol
If you know which match is usually have fixing scores, then you can make easy money from that lol. Big leagues are high likely doesn't have any manipulation and it's safer to bet, but it doesn't make you rich if you not bet big amount of money. There are many matches on minor leagues are really worth to bet the underdog because the odds is really huge. In big leagues, usually the underdog have almost 0% chance to beat the favorite team due to huge gap difference.
Topic: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 - page 9. (Read 946 times)
It is a shame for Brazil, but I also have to say that it doesn't only happen in Brazil, in many other countries there have been or still are such "scams".
This scam was only discovered because the bet didn't work out, the players didn't comply with the agreement and the bettor lost all the money from the bet.
Apparently it was a triple bet and only in the third game that didn't work.
I hope that they are now more strict with this kind of thing and really investigate all the leagues for these suspicious acts.
I'm curious to know which site this person made the bets, does anyone know?
I think of a scenario where the players themselves also bet on personal or team results, having inside information.
This is another question that deserves to be investigated.

If it's in the higher league, then this act will easily get caught. They might have done this a few games already but a lot of bookies will certainly caught wind of what's happening, unless of course they're also part of the act then there's not much to do about it. Those who are able to commit this kind of activity are usually those who are in position and in power to sweep everything under the rug, but fortunately they were able to catch it while it's hot. Though I believe that even though they catch the perpetrators in the act, this will continue happening so long as there are crooked people in the position of the higher leagues.
Just makes me wonder though, we have seen some threads about fix match and rigged and they are posting it here, not sure if you guys have seen it. Anyhow, my point is that it could be true that this kind of fix matching has been ongoing for many years already and there could be some insiders who are familiar with it and sharing it here although I can't say that for a fact. And if this coaches and players are investigated and found to be guilty, then appropriate punishment should be dealt with this kind of individuals as it is a shame for the sports who love it.
Fixed matchws do really exist for so long; from small to big leagues and tournaments. Problem is finding a paying one because for sure exclusivity would lways be a factor. On my end, I have never tried to engage with such scheme simply because of the idea that they are cheating in a way, so how come they would be fair for their players? this is not to generalize. But not only in this crypto industry, as well to others. It would be better to go toe-to-toe with the risk involved in gambling since that's the concept in the first plce, than to find way for assured profit which is simply not a thing common in gambling industry. Also, enjoyment would be lacking I agree.As long as there are gamblers who support fixed matches and those who want to take advantage of them, it will continuously run regardless of its illegality. Some players and gamblers take it as their comfort zone which is unfair to other gamblers. We shouldn't support any illegal activity that promotes cheating games. It's better to face the risks and play the legal way than to earn through cheating.
The fraud involved bribes for players, and among the main actions, it was necessary for the player to commit penalties in the first half of the games that were played. Each player received R$ 150,000 per bet for this act (~U$ 28,734.00).
Corruption, fraud and bribery in football betting, this is not the first time this has happened in Brazil the same thing has happened to goalkeepers too The Full Story of Bruce Grobbelaar's Betting & Bribery Scandal, something bad if that happens.I've read about: The Threat to Football from Betting-Related Corruption, which reads.
Quote
Manipulation of on-field events for betting gain appears to be a growing problem in football and other sports. It can be linked to developments in the betting environment and is a potential threat to the football industry to the extent that it may deter fans, sponsors, and broadcasters from purchasing the product. Risks are highest in European lower-tier competitions where high liquidity in the betting market contrasts with modest incomes among players and officials. The liquidity is provided principally by Asian betting markets that are largely unregulated, which itself is a significant obstacle to protecting the sport from corruption.
If, what you say is true and if it is found out, Brazilian clubs can be seen as the worst football in the world, this will have a negative effect on bettors and football lovers in Brazil itself, for the actions of irresponsible people.
It is estimated that the bettors would have profited approximately R$ 2 million (~US$ 383,130.00). 
The fraud involved bribes for players, and among the main actions, it was necessary for the player to commit penalties in the first half of the games that were played. Each player received R$ 150,000 per bet for this act (~U$ 28,734.00).
In fact, this makes it much easier to earn money from sports betting.
Unfortunately these are situations that occur in several countries, but the amount of money involved always calls our attention.
In these cases, bets were placed on the competitions that we call "Series B", which is the second largest football championship in Brazil, in which the best classifieds guarantee a place for the main championship in the following year.

This kind of thing can make us rich if we have an insider that can inform us of rigged games. But I think it is next to impossible to know someone from the rigging party since most that will approach us about this kind of events are more likely scammers.
I also think that match-fixing is rampant anywhere. Even boxing can be rigged, worst when judges are paid, even though it is evident that the boxer who lost clearly won the fight. Just like what is written in this article[1].

I would have expected this in small-level leagues(where it is very common to happen) but still not surprised that it happens in bigger leagues.To many fixing incident happen on lower leagues since some manipulators think that they will not easily get caught on what illegal activities they do on that league. There are other well documented so we need to be careful on the leagues we are watching especially if we want to bet on the games played.
On bigger leagues well maybe this happen but its not rampant since nowadays since medias are covering up and maybe the league coordinators or promoters are been much careful about this since its a big shamed for their league if his game fixing will happen to them.
true, and if they are caught they are usually punished for it.

Hey, OP, as long as you've been on the forum, you should know better than to include a link to the news item. I guess the news is in Portuguese? I've searched and I don't see anything about it but I did find this which is relevant to the general match fixing problem:
Suspicious sports results? Mafia might have fixed them
Quote
Organised crime groups make an estimated €120 million of profit a year from betting-related match-fixing in sports events. Not only football matches are fixed, but tennis results are also manipulated more and more. And sports mafia are no longer only corrupting players, but clubs too.
I'm also surprised that there is no link so we can extract more on the story and check the fact, I also want to see the link so we can discuss the particulars of the topic I guess we can only discuss the general topic which is game fixing, game fixing is what put any game in a bad light, we all want excitement and we all rooting for our favorite team or fighters that they are going to give it all, we lose respects on teams and fighters that engage on game fixing.
Game fixing should not happen in any sports and organizations should protect their rank files and players against any game fixing.
It is no surprise that this has occurred. I often scoff to myself when people insinuate that these types of things can't happen though it is one of those things that are rarely proven. It is good to see that this one was proven. I would love to know what the largest case similar to this one would be though. I am sure it amounts to many multiples of the amount of this case.

I also tried betting on matches in the second Football League of England once, and it seemed to me that everything was not so clean there and some matches were similar to contractual ones, which also seems to me to apply to other countries.

This is so rigged, and unfortunately, we can't prevent it in sports as long as sports betting exists. Big events have larger betting limits, making it easier for players to wager on specific outcomes and make easy money. However, if they get caught, it would mean the end of their career and future prospects.
A rigging scheme that is hard to detect is beneficial for them, as it does not put their careers at risk while still allowing them to make money. However, this case seems to be quite different

This issue has been around for many years. But I believe that it is more risky and less profitable than the earlier years.
Solo was also accused of match fixing as he placed a bet against his own team, Virtus Pro. Remember the 322 meme? It was originally pertaining to his act.

This phenomenon is very common in many places.Gambling became legal in my country a few years ago.And if we talk about sports betting, this is an ideal place for various frauds.They mostly take place in non-major football leagues where it is possible to trace match-fixing by the nature of the game itself.It is especially strange when the advertising partner on the form of the players is just the same bookmaker)There will always be match fixing as long as there are bets on matches.
There must be someone who will be a victim of this case if it is revealed and the player will be disadvantaged in this case because he will get a penalty for not being able to play football. Meanwhile, those who planned everything can still get away with paying bribes to investigate officers or officers at court so that they are not involved in the case. I think it also happens in other countries and maybe it's not a secret anymore, although it will be difficult to find out who is behind it all. Bribery is common among these people to get what they want.
Match fixing is an issue mainly in developing countries. Most of it is organised by mafia that also involves in drug trade, illegal weapon trade etc. This type of things never get old. Its very hard to avoid match fixing if your country permits completely legal sports betting options. I don't call for them making it illegal but sometimes its impossible to detect. I am pretty sure this match fixing issue happened in Brazil is only visible side of "iceberg". Noone knows what happens at other side, in deep.
Not only on developing country but everywhere. Only match fixing is always being caught from developing country since they are easy to spot and their players is doing it too obvious for the money. I believe there’s a lot of same issue in EU that involves match fixing on sports. Big time mobs is behind this kind of operation and they are everywhere.
And since the sports involves a lot of personalities, from team owners to managers to coach and player themselves, there is some disconnect somewhere that we didn't know that match fixing has been involved if there is no whistle blower.
Recently even in the World Cup there are accusations as well with match fixing so this is not new and could be rampant in the sports of football.
