This is another form of scam I've seen being promoted heavily.
So if you have even the slightest interest towards sports, you're likely to follow some teams' or atheles' social media accounts.
Instagram tends to freely share your personal information with "advertisers" which often just means scammers.
So this scam is often targeting sports fans through Instagram and Facebook.
And if you or your friends follow something related to gambling or sports you're likely to be targeted by such ads promoting this scam.

So let's examine what this scam is about.
If you click into an ad promoting this type of scam, you'll be prompted into a Telegram channel where supposedly information about fixed matches is provided.
As you probably already know, scammers love telegram. 
The room will be populated with a long history of highly polished messages about supposed information and past success stories.
However, what matters most is the most recent message in the channel.
This message will mention the exact score of a supposed fixed match.

What's the catch?
Well... This match doesn't exist. Perhaps the teams will sound a little plausible, but then they will say [U23], which means that you can't bet on such a match anywhere.
The whole allure of this scam is to actually put your money in THEIR recommended bookmaker because it's going to be the only one accepting bets on this otherwise fictional match.
And then you'll be met with the harsh reality that this bookmaker only actually takes deposits, no withdrawals!

The above is a rating someone left for this fake bookmaker called SpaceXlife. It appears that this scam operation has been running for 2 months.
Probably once the scammers feel like they've made enough they'll just switch to a new name and website.

All this might sound too obvious to you but people unaccustomed to online gambling could easily fall victim to something like this.
It's sad how social media has made the process of scamming so streamlined actually...

When it comes to promoting fixed matches, 99.99% are scams. I'm saving a very limit percentage only because we actually are not entirely aware of negotiations under the table between promotions, players, and teams. And there were in fact times when post-game investigations found out that the games indeed were fixed. But that isn't the case with all these social media promotions of fixed matches. They're all fake. If a game is fixed, the word wouldn't spread out in the open. Nobody should take these offers seriously.

Although this kind of scam scheme is very obvious for user like us that is active on gambling and knew what’s the reputable casino available but there’s really some users that is too naive to distinguish scam casino because they usually prioritize on what’s the potential they can gain over the risk of what they are entering.

Surely an offer you can only bet a specific fixed match on a certain casino only will make newbie deposit on it to try just like the screenshot for the review. It’s nice to compile all the existing and new kind of scam scheme to newbie fof their reference in case they encounter similar on social media.

If I hear of match fixing, I will stop because I have known already that it is a scam.

If it is a telegram bookie, I will stop and delete the scammer from my telegram. I do not gamble on telegram.

We can see some people that wants to try something like this or something similar on this forum, referring us to add them on telegram. From their approach on this forum, you will know that they are scammers.

It's not a telegram bookie.
It's a fully fledged website that looks somewhat realistic, but the "fixed" match advertised by the telegram group is actually not a real match, and no matter how hard you search for it you will always come up to that specific bookmarker website, which happens to be a fake bookmaker.

You will deposit, bet on the exact score given by the telegram group, hit some crazy multiplier when the fake match supposedly finishes... And then you will never be able to withdraw.
It's actually a well polished scam. Some of the team names I looked up were actually real teams, they had just swapped the league and day of the match. For example for a real match of Team A and Team B on a Tuesday they would say
Team A vs. Team B (U23 league) on a Monday. This seems entirely possible as actually sometimes U23 leagues can have similar schedules with regular leagues. But The league they are talking about is actually always nonexistent. But I could even see someone kidna experience falling for this because just by Google searching you can't definitively find out that these teams don't exist.

I believe that match fixing is scam already so I don't focus on that anytime I see that usually on telegram. How do you fix matches when you are feeling the game is fair to anyone. The problem with scam is that they will continue to exist because some greedy people will fall for them. If you are not greedy then if you see match fixing gimmicks you should know. If at all there is match fixing that exist how would that be disclosed for people to bet on it. So we should know that it is just part of the prediction that a match is fixed and they guess the outcome of the match.

I'll be honest, even the novice gambler would put some research into what he's betting. At least see the history of the team and their past performances. One would only blindly pick something if they are convinced that its by someone they trust. If those insta ads are influencing someone enough to put their money into dodgy websites for games that don't exist. Either the person is very gullible or is very new to gambling. Information like this surely helps new gamblers but I'll consider it as stupidity tax, if I ever fall for something like this.

In similar fashion. There has been a rise of niche eSports games(especially soccer) that have plagued even reputed sportsbooks. I am fairly certain that a large number of them are fixed and the result ends in ways that its profitable for the sportsbooks. They are not provably fair(cannot be). A lot of CS as well as lower league dota games are highly likely rigged, especially if they are taking place in China or Russia. Please keep that in mind. In conventional sports, there's 5v5, 2v2, 1v1 soccer games that are 100% rigged. Also, there's some random Russian, Czech, Ukrainian Table Tennis leagues that are surely rigged, along with Badminton. They all have live broadcasts to make them look legit but on the contrary, if you have any expertise in those sports(like I have) it looks very evident, so you can sit back and enjoy them rigging games. A lot of lower league Cricket too are rigged. Keep in mind, if it is happening in Russia or nearby regions and its not a popular sport there in the first place. The league only runs in partnership with the sportsbook to rig games and make the sportsbook some money from some gullible people falling for that trap.
I might make my own post about it since there is a huge list of sports and it could be very useful for the forum members and it might go under the radar for most of them here. Will include screenshots from popular sportsbooks that also provide betting options for such games.

Fixed matches do exist and they are common in low quality leagues or very low divisions of countries with great football yet they surely cannot be found distributed on predictions sites by some random dude.They keep it themselves,they are bet on by a small,very small circle that has the adequate info and they make money for themselves.Of course there are betting limits so the bets are dispersed on different bookmakers.That is how it works.

I thought it is a telegram gambling platform. But even if it is an online one that we can visit using its URL, they are not hard to know that they are scam. I have only prefer local casinos that are old and reputed already before I can decide to register on a gambling site, but when I come to this forum, I have the option to know that some new gambling sites are not fake, but still I do not do that to any gambling sites that are not on this forum signature campaign. Not having experience and also not knowing how to easily know scam sites has been the reason someone can fall for this.

You might be right probably but I think opinion like this should not be made publicly considering how naive and gullible some people can be. Especially, newbies who just got into gambling and are desperate to make some winning. They'll bank on this information and would probably want to give it a trial since you justify that it actually exists despite one can not tell which is genuine or fake. I suggest we should frown against admitting that fixed match exist. Not because they do not but because people who are desperate will continue searching for it hoping to come across the legit ones. Fixed matches are not easily accessible to ordinary people and no one should waste their time looking for one because you'll end up falling victim to scammers. Telegram to be precise, is a scammers haven and those winning tickets you see there are not real but edited tickets. Stay away from fixed match and remain safe.

Spreading the word about these scammy tricks in the gambling scene is important. Newbies might not see the signs so having a heads-up on the common scams could save them from a bad bet. This forum keeps each other informed and steer clear of those shady setups

Yes, but if people will just used their common sense, regardless if you are a newbie or have experienced in gambling already, you shouldn't fall for this kind of tricks. And we all know that there are thousands of it in the internet, but the sad news is that people are blinded by greed, and in the end, all they can do is weep and regrets what they have done, specially if the money that they gamble is to be used for something else.

So let see this a lesson for everyone here.

The newbies is also doing something that is wrong. We should say no to fixed matches, but the newbie will be greedy and send money to a scam gambling site. The newbie wants to take part in something that is not legal which is fixed match. There is nothing like fixed match,  all those said by people are just scam. We can not know if truly a match is fixed or not despite that there are some matches that are fixed but a gambler should not have the mentality that a match is fixed.

You can't be a victim to this scam if you have a basic knowledge on what is happening now where scams are everywhere. The kind of scams is easy to spot, too good to be true offers are normally scams, so that's already a red flag. Besides, if you think deeper, why would these guys offer fixed match information for people to win if they can bet on their own and take the whole profit.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, although I believe that everyone is already knowledgeable about this, but there might be some who are greedy ignorance who thinks they found an opportunity to make an easy money.

It’s really impossible to get a victim here in the forum because everyone here is open minded to easily determine scam attempt due to many users keep reminding everyone on post or threads.

But it’s different scenario on social media such as facebook, x and telegram which many user are still dumb enough to determine if they are sending money to a scammer. There’s still a lot of newbie outside the forum that easily become a victim of this due to the narrative of this scammer is tricky for person that want a quick profit. Same example to those traders that still investing on shitcoin that doesn’t have real utility yet everyone keeps jumping for the sake of quick profit.

Immediately I hear about a fixed match, and then I know it’s already a scam. I see the scam strategy to be a very cheap one, but the surprising part is that you will still see lots of people fall for scams like this. But what I notice is that, the only people that still fall for match fixing scams are the people really desperate to make money from gambling. People like this are just ready to do anything possible to win from gambling,  so they do keep on trying different patterns, and even when they are scammed, they never give up. When they see another telegram group trying to give out fixed matches, they will still pay for it.

Thank you for bring this to our attention. 

Again, Telegram is a hotbed for all sorts of scams ever know to the human race.

This is why no one should ignore the advice of "Do your Own Research". Ask questions. If you ever have a hunch that something is off, then it probably is.


Changing of website name is always the modus operandi of these scammers. It never changes. Unfortunately, the victims of their scams may not have the time to warn unsuspecting people of this scam. So they keep thriving.


The conclusion of it all is to stick to popular sportsbook. Experiment with new ones at your own risk.

The gamblers who will fall victims to Fake Fixed Matches are gamblers who are.
(a) Greedy.
(b) Gamblers not gambling for fun.
(c) Gamblers who have not been scammed before.
Greedy gamblers who want to cheat the process and just want to make quick money from gambling will easily be happy and willing to place bets on this fixed fake matches. Gamblers not gambling for fun will also like fixed games, they are not interested in the fun involved with making a prediction from research, and then watching the games to see if your picks will enter. Gamblers who have not been scammed before may think that there are no scammers in gambling. Scammers are everywhere.

Because of that, I don't really believe in anything in the Telegram group, because most likely the people in the group are supporters and all the activities they do are just to attract people to join the campaign they are running.
That's why it's important for bettors to be able to search for the matches they want to bet on and always make sure they join a reputable betting platform, because it is much safer to play on a reputable betting platform compared to Telegram groups. All matches on this reputable betting platform have been verified and users are definitely safe to participate in these matches.

I hadn't seen this type of scam before!
Maybe it's because I don't usually look for this type of service, much less go to unknown Telegram channels.

But this methodology that scammers use is "interesting" and is certainly capable of unduly deceiving many unsuspecting bettors or those who do not have the slightest knowledge about how this works and are just looking for an easy way to obtain information that can increase their chances of winning something. with bets.

That's why I always say.... before you start betting on football or any other sport, you need to do a lot of research first and have complete knowledge of the games and teams, this alone would help a lot in preventing you from falling into this type of scam.

Tks to share this info!

Match fixing is straight-up scam already, what more do you need to see that it's a scam? I feel sad for many beginners because every first hurtful experience is the only thing that can make them start doing their research, how many of them are we going to tell to start using this forum for any gambling related searches? Not all people even know about this forum.

There is no search engine online that's completely clean of this fraudsters in gambling and crypto investment than this forum, it's left for beginners to have that sense of finding information themselves before deposition any money on any platform, it's a shame that even beginners have some greediness in them, how can a game be so fair for everyone in a group? That's not even realistic.

Everybody wants to be a winner by not losing but in the process of trying to avoid losses they will end up falling for people that promise them fairness in gambling, while gambling is still gambling, a pure game of uncertainty, they won't think very deeply, I will advice people to stay away from telegram as your learning field, use telegram to text people you know or projects you are so into, that's all, don't give face to strangers on telegram promising some accurate match predictions or gambling.

Same here. I don't give attention to anything like that. Fixed match for me is equivalent to scam. And anybody who is giving a tip on a supposed fixed match is a scammer. No proof is needed. Especially if it needs subscription payments, that should be ignored immediately. That's a worse kind of scam.

Those who fell for this kind of very obvious scam should try to educate or perhaps evaluate themselves. If one falls to a scam that is already very obvious as scam, the bigger problem might be in the victim.

Sure, fixed matches exist but it is never advertised. There are punishments for any team that engages in a fixed match and so it is done with utmost secrecy. Any site or individual who claims to have a fixed match is certainly a scam. This is the reason they tell you to pay before you get access to the match and others will tell you to pay 60% before you get the game and the balance up after winning. These are all scams. What these scammers do is edit fake tickets and show them to you or publish them on their sites to lure the gambler into believing that they are genuine.

Some sites do not claim to have fixed matches but they publish predicted won tickets on their sites or pages on social media. They always claim that their games are 100% safe and guaranteed and you see write-ups like "BET YOUR HOUSE ON THIS", "NO CHANCE OF LOSING", 'YOU GET REFUNDED IF YOU DON`T WIN etc. These are done in a bid to make the gambler feel safe making payments to get the game but in the end, you will surely not win. The funniest thing is that they will give you a game that didn`t play but upload games that played on their site to attract other potential victims lol. These scammers have people who testify about their credibility and make you believe them. Don`t ever fall for them.

A lot is happening on the internet these days, and as we all know, the most targeted places are Google, X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and others. To make matters worse, it is often as if they had paid the owners of these social media platforms to keep silent about this, if not, I do not know how they are being emboldened like that. Had it been it wasn't so and if the social medial has their investigative units that are up and doing in this regard, it will not be long before they will know and pull them down.

What is the work of bots and other automatic reportage mechanisms and censors? So, I think that they can't be totally exonerated from this. Also, people should endeavour to report such cases as fast as possible to the appropriate channel. I believe that by doing this, it will also be an affront for the social media platform not to take them down immedtaley.

Above all, we should all be careful on the internet these days, what we see is not actually how it looks, let's beware.

Especially if those people saying or offering that asking some money in return for their prediction or claims about having that way to give them huge chance to win on their bets.

Usually that is totally scam since how could they do that since imagine how big the amount needed to move before they can make this to happen.

But I guess this is just been used by those scammer so that they can attract those newbies seeking for better chance to win on their bets. Usually the common people got scam by these are new to the industry and they follow the wrong guys in the scene that's why they have been fool and get scam by those random people they meet online.

I can understand how people not accustomed to online gambling could fall prey to scams like this. Greed plays a key role in a good number of people that get scammed. The idea of being privy to the scores/outcome of a supposedly fixed game could attract even someone that ordinarily doesn’t gamble.

In a bid to win some good money quickly, the greed in us would then nudge us just enough to put in that savings that we’ve been saving for months. “It’s a fixed game that’s going to be a sure win.  We’re sure to get our money back and more..” These are thoughts that would likely be going through our heads as logic is by then, no where to be found.

We should be diligent and wary about our interactions online. Not everyone online has good intentions.

Thank you for the information. This is important for us, even for the old sports bettors. There's a chance we might bump into this so this is really informative.

This is why I don't like just pressing anything on social media. There are clips now where it opens a new window and the advertisements are too much. Then these scammers add another problem for us.
I have not yet bumped into one because I don't really stay too long browsing social media. But it's for a different reason. I've seen clips where they add gambling site advertisements at the last part of their videos and there are those who will talk good about it but I doubt they are legitimate.
Anyway, this is a fact that we should always be attentive to our environment. Scammers will do anything to create money in a dirty way. It would always be better if we could just do our research on which team will win because this kind of sports signals could just be gamblers too who are trying to increase the number of bettors on the other side so they can get a better odds for the real team who might win that game.
Still, if this is a professional sport that is worldwide being televised, I doubt they will know who will win in that game unless it's too obvious as the other team is a heavy favorite.

Thanks to OP for bringing this issue to the attention of the Bitcointalk gambling community! Good job!

We should all be made aware of scam artists and their strategies of stealing money from us. But, that being said, I do not think that any rational, experience gambler would be dumb enough to get tricked into believing in the myth of fixed matches, or better yet, groups which regularly have tips on fixed matches. It just is not realistic.

I am no newbie when it comes to gambling but this is the first time I heard of such a scam (Although I would have suspected it being a scam the moment I read the words: "fixed match" and "telegram".

But a newbie gambler might fall for it. And lose all their money.

In gambling space nobody really knows anything, everybody is just trying their best, some people are even ripping people off, pretending to know what an outcome of a match will be and the funny part here is sometimes it works in their favour and they will gain the confidence of people around them, there is no such thing as a professional gambler, all you have to deal with is cutting your losses short until you get lucky, if you don't know how to do this you are wasting your time.

Avoid people who thinks they know the future, no one does for real, face your little risks and use your luck wisely, gambling is never a solution to your problems, it's either entertainment for you or a mood ruiner, those who want gambling for fun of it risks so less to none and those who want to make higher amount risks a lot of money, in the end who is the wisest?

Exactly how I keep my face when I come across those kind of advertisement because it disgusts me a lot for the fact that I already know it's a scam. I have not had any bad experiences but have heard ugly stories, which has enlightened me enough not to be a victim of such cheap scams. Some of those ads can ask you to place a bet on a casino, and it might be a casino that you are using for your gambling, but when you click on the ads link, it will ask you to re-log into your casino account, and when you take that action, you will automatically sign your account in on their end. If by chance I come across some information online and, on clicking the link, it redirects me to a scam telegram group, I will just report it. If people keep reporting such groups, it will be deleted.

They know the future because they know the game is fixed. It's happening in some other sports specially on smaller league, but the question here is the credibility of the source, and it's hard to trust someone with it risking our money. This is just short term in case we suceed, however since "fixed games" has been what they market, this is quite shady and you are transacting with people whom likely are scammers.

Fixed matches are no doubt bad for the games / sports too as people want to see real fights in matches and not just want to see the matches where the results are predetermined. It is just a scam not only with the gamblers but also with the spectators who think that the match results are not fixed.
However, if someone already knows that the game is fixed and knows who will win in advance, then it can be a haven for them as then they can put a lot of money in the bet and eventually win that bet.


Most of the time this scam is not known. Other than a few matches that are leaked to be fixed to the general public, most of the time we are not aware of the fixed matches. Only those who fixes and the authorities may know about it and all steps are taken to ensure that no one knows that matches were fixed. If this information is leaked, it won't be good for those who are involved in match fixing, and it may result in the end of their sporting career.

If one is scammed because he placed a bet on a fixed game who will he report the scam to? The law enforcement agency might even arrest the victim because match-fixing is illegal. I don't pay attention to anything illegal because it could get someone into trouble. However, it is difficult to fix matches these days except it is lowly lowly-rated clubs in developing nations. With the level of sports administration and laws, match-fixing can destroy the career of a player or even lead to the end of a club. The last time I heard about fixed matches was the news that a lower-division league in Brazil was engaging in such fraudulent activities. Whenever I hear about a fixed match or a leaked game from an insider, I pay don't attention because most of them are channels of scams.

These days identifying scammers on the internet is becoming easy with me, hence you begin to tell me that you have a fixed match that I should join your telegram group then after joining your telegram group, before you tell me to pay a certain amount or before you tell me to join a telegram group I already know that you are a scammer. If I must even give you a second look, those fixed games should be popular League matches or from a reputable football competitions going on and I must see the games and I'm not even going to pay a dime for them, because I can actually do my predictions myself.

Yes OP, just as you said that it may sound obvious, but a lot of people fall victim to it, especially the gullible ones that don't understand the gimmicks used by this scammers.
I have one or two people that I follow on X(twitter) that are good predictors, though they don't drop fix matches, but mainly football predictions for followers to go bet on, and they don't ask for a dime from any of their followers, they would even tell you it's 50/50, so you already know what your doing, maybe you can just edit some of the games.

Scammers already know that many of us are looking for ways to win big money and we still have to do anything to make the winning come.
However scammers are not the ones to blame for their actions but we have our self to blame because we always want to win and not try to make wait for luck on our stakes.
Many of these channels are on telegram and some of them people are paying to get this tips which is bad. Sure things are not easy to get thats the fact that I know, this means no one can see their tips for money they rather use their money to get and win all without telling anyone.
Many times when I see such things I laugh because I already have in mind that they are scam.

Let think about it this way; fixed match will not be spread all over or sold for cheap amounts to various people's in different platforms. We all know the penalty for officials caught fixing a match so how will they now go on to expose themselves about their intent by  leaking it to outsiders on social media platforms like telegram and facebook rather than just within their small whale circle.

It is scammers that uses use such avenue to deceive desperate gamblers and scam them of their money. Why will the individual be asking to sell a fixed match he is sure of for a $50 rate, like doesn't he also want to make huge money by playing that supposed fixed match he is laying claim on as a fixed match. These are rhetorics we should ask ourselves when these people approach us with their so-called fixed games.

Don't go wasting your money there's no fixed games it's just people speculating matches just like you and are trolling the social media platforms looking for gullible desperate gamblers to prey on and scam them of their money.  

I will never believe in things that smell of suspicion and fraud, if I feel that it is not suitable and reliable place then the best choice is to leave and never try it.
Maybe in the first bet we can get win and anyone can get it but in the future we don't know what will happen, but you are right that things like this will happen more often in small leagues.
If really pay attention in the world of gambling, people like that will be very numerous and very easy to find.
Of course this will be very detrimental to anyone so it is highly recommended to remain careful with anyone when it comes to betting that can lose our money.
It would be better for us as gamblers to avoid things that could be detrimental, after all we have the ability and we have number of experiences which of course will be very useful.

The probability of getting scammed on telegram is 99.9%. Don't even try to do any verification they are what you think they are. As soon as you give them your money, it is gone forever. Any website you are directed to is just a cloned website. The screenshots of so-called "winners" are paid for. I will tell this to everyone that you can never see a fixed match on the internet. All their deals and bet are done and concluded off-line. And the scammers who use these telegram are very psychologically persuasive means to get money. Instagram is not excluded from this. Anyone selling betting tip for a fixed match is a scammer.

Never believe anything in a telegram group because you don't know whether the people in the group are genuine or not. Because there have been many cases of scammers from telegram groups and they usually target users who have minimal knowledge about betting and want to quickly profit from their bets.

moreover, fixed matches are usually very obvious and people like us who understand gambling should be able to distinguish between matches that are manipulated or not. and just bet on sportsbooks that are regulated because the possibility that they will scam their users is very small and don't be too hasty in making a profit because usually people like this are often cheated.

Well, if someone tells us about the fixed match and it is really fixed, meaning that if we bet on that match, we can win that bet (provided we know the right results) of the fixed match. Most of the time we may come across such paid groups which suggest that they will provide us with fixed matches but in reality, they have no information about those matches. Joining those groups and then betting on the match will only make us lose money.


Again I would say that if someone is providing real information, then some people may take advantage of it but since the fixed matches information is unknown in most cases, therefore its is all a scam business. Better stay away from this scam which seems real while it is not to be a real.

Not the match.

Let be honest, these is just the casino. No matter what match we are gonna to bet, If the casino provided these on their website is their responsibility. So, the problem is the casino are the scam not the match.

Always use casinos that have good credibility, especially when people already using them. Remember, people experience is really good rather than a score ratings on some website review because is easily be manipulated by the casino.

It is often seen that a team fixes entire matches for money. Sometimes the entire team is fixing and sometimes a particular player is seen fixing. A big gambler usually pays such a team a lot of money to fix a match, so that gambler bets a lot of money with other gamblers and since he is fixing the match, he is guaranteed to win the bet. 

A match is fixed by a team and a gambler, so those who bet for this team are cheated. It is not possible to tell with the naked eye which match is being fixed and which match is being played normally. A small mistake in a match is enough to fix the match. Many bettors may have been duped into thinking that the team they bet on has colluded with another bettor to fix the match.

It sounds like this is a very elaborate scam that is targeting sports fans who are interested in gambling. The scammers are using social media to target their victims and then they are using a fake bookmaker to take their money. It is important to be aware of these scams and to never give out your personal information or money to someone you don't know. If you are ever unsure about a bookmaker, it is always best to do some research before you deposit any money.

Huh, so you're betting on an imaginary match that they made up. Now idk if it's just my mindset or not but I don't think that many people would even fall for this really. It's just... really dumb. Like the internet is there, you're free to look stuff up and the moment someone recommends me to bet on a game since they're guaranteed to win, you bet I'd look that very specific match up. Not in bookmakers though, just pure searching for said specific match.

Not to mention needing to bet on an obscure website. Sure it might be a minor tournament on some small island at some random place, but wouldn't that already scream that it's weird? I swear only people who are that much desperate for money would follow this.

Thank you very much for letting us know about this scam.
I would personally start to suspect of all of that to be a scam as soon as the advertisement would prompt me to join a Telegram group about fixed matches, at that point I would quit the group because, it would be obvious to me it is all about getting my money and run away with it. It is quite disturbing and unfair how scammers are not filtered from having the chance to buy advertisement space in important social media and even hiring influencers to unwillingly participate in the thief of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I must admit I did not know about this type of scam though, and I have not seen it myself in person before. The fact the can perpetuate this scam for literal months before changing their name and continue to do it with a new Telegram channel only makes me believe the people behind this scam must be based in some nation/country like India, Russia or South Asia, where is little or none enforcement on digital crime which involve cryptocurrency.

Am I the only one who think it is a pity/a shame such a good messenger application like Telegram is used in such blatant way by scammers to take the money of others? It is much better than Whatsapp and yet, there must be so many people out there who are told not to install Telegram because the huge amount of fraud and probably malware distribution which takes place on it.  :(

Anyone using Telegram. Be careful, and block anyone who you do not know and talk to you out of nowhere.

The twist on this particular scam is that the match itself does not exist either, it was created with the purpose of forcing anyone that reads that message and wants to take advantage of the fake opportunity given to make a bet on the fake sportbook, by doing things this way they can get 100% of the money those people will wager, as if they used a real match then that person could take the bet on any casino and the scammers will not get any of that money, I will say that I have never seen anything like that and it is ingenious to say the least, unfortunately those people decided to make use of their ingenuity to do evil things.

I do agree to that,  only those desperate which we can't removed the fact that there are gamblers who can fall to this kind of tricks,  thinking that it is an easy money making strategy,  but at the end of the line they are the one that being victimized,  and from your statement internet is a big venue to do your research and to find those information regarding to the pick that you are intended to bet, inside gambling there's nothing that we can tell as sure bet, fixed matches can also be fixed by manipulators never gave your trust to someone claiming that they can guarantee your win but instead use your time and your money wisely.

As a part of the gambling industry ecosystem as a whole, scam sites like that have already been part of it since then. They are everywhere.

What I'm more concerned about is how some people believe in that kind of scheme. Fixed matches might be occurring in some leagues across the sports industry but the point is, are there people who really trust a random prediction from anyone and even put a bet on it?

Scammers won't end because there are people who are feeding them. It's like an endless cycle.

Usually newbies can't judge the website that much, because their goal will be to win. A little later the gambler will only regret the loss and the scam sites will disappear. So it is better to keep yourself free from all these scam gambling sites, prevent yourself from stepping into this trap. Scam sites offer large sums of money to lure gamblers.

If it's a scam it's known. A scam is meant to be known because it's the only way for them to make money. So one way to know that an offered information is a scam is to know it. In other words, every time you are told that this and that match is a fixed match, it means it is a scam. Otherwise the only people who know a fixed game are perhaps the manager, coach, and players. But if it is said to be fixed and it is posted in a Telegram channel, in a forum, etc that it is a scam.

If the result of a fixed match is published then the value of that match will not be there. The results of fixed matches are generally not disseminated to all but may be disclosed in some cases. Moreover, the behavior of the players in some matches is also different. If fixed match information was not available then how would common man understand. Of course something happens that makes it into the media. But I think very few of them are published in the bill. There may be more inside. The number of fixed matches in franchise tournament can be caught by many ordinary gamblers and viewers, but the discussion about it is not accepted as there is no proper evidence of it in reality.

Real bookmakers don't need fixed matches. This is what they watch and what they fight to the best of their ability. Firstly, it affects the reputation of a particular sport. Secondly, if this really happened, it would mean easy money for insiders. And we know that bookmaker companies do not like easy money for anyone but themselves. And this is natural, this is their business. By the way, the bookmaker can easily track suspicious matches in its application. If an increased number of players and larger amounts are betting on a match, then for the bookmaker this is a reason to cancel the bet or reduce the odds.
  Many scammers do not understand this, so they come across very naive people. That's right, scammers love Telegram).

Before falling prey to such scams we need to know everything well. Match fixing scams are more often they lure you with various types of information from different sites then you should understand that these are scams. A good site does not require match fixing to play safely. Match fixing can't keep it up for long and will be leaked so try to assess your losses. Avoid investing money in any such site after knowing the scam.

Regardless of the way it was promoted by someone, as long as it stated the word "fixed matches", that's already a sound of bullshit.

I don't understand why there are people, who are even sports literate, who fall on these kinds of scams.

The obvious is already there but these people still got deceived. I want to blame the victims. No offense.

We may not know whether the match has been arranged or is running normally because we are just watching or only placing bets on that match. Trusted casino sites will not fix matches, and they will always provide the best for their gamblers to get the best experience when they gamble on the site. To avoid scam casino sites, you don't need to try to deposit money on a gambling site directed by someone you don't know, even if he is a streamer who has many followers. You can search for sports betting sites yourself, even from this forum, you can find many trusted sports betting sites so you can place bets on these sites.

Anyway, if match is being fixed it will be difficult for everyone to know. Match fixing is not speculated at the heat of the league where every team is struggling for a place first or during the group stage where they are still trying to go over each other because no one wants to drop any point. So people begin to speculate match fixing during the ending of the league when the relegating teams are beginning to show and those not in need of the points are known. Usually between the top on the table and buttom teams, that is speculative but it only stays at that most times with no prove because it is an offence when it is found out.

Sometimes it is not desperation but ignorance. What you don`t know you don`t know. Scammers are very smart people and it takes someone smarter not to fall prey to their tricks. We should understand also that a game might be given as a fixed match but it is not and if it plays as predicted the site takes the glory and when it doesn`t play they give the gambler an excuse and promise him a recovery tip.

Going online to research doesn`t change anything because first of all, you will make payment before accessing the game. Also, even if they give you the game, they will show you a popular game and hide the outcome and after making payment they block you. There are different forms this scam takes and you just can`t tell the nature of the next scam. I will advise that nobody should hope for a fixed match because you can never have access to it. Make your prediction and pray for winning.

All the mentioned reasons are why gamblers still fall victim to scams up to date. It's hard to convince those who have such behavior(greedy and not gambling for fun) that all the fixed matches they heard of, are all for scams.

When you tell people that match-fixing is full of scams, even those who haven't fallen for one will find it difficult to trust you. Given what they've heard about the testimonials of people, posting on social media, they won't be likely to believe you. forgetting that they (the same people) are paid for that.

The most common thing I've observed is that people fall prey to scammers because they rarely tell their friends about the Telegram groups they've joined or the fixed matches they've made through it. On their own, they will open accounts and even make deposits of cash. They'll start telling their friends about their encounters with gambling sites when they find it difficult to withdraw their winning money.

It would be very beneficial for many gamblers to be able to avoid becoming victims of scams if they could exchange thoughts and experiences about their gambling activities on a site or telegram groups. 

The thing with this scam is that these matches are so out there that if you were to search for them occasionally you would only come up with this bookmaker. Other times it would be a match with similar tream names, but on different days. For example without the U18 tag that the supposed fixed match would have. In theory it can be realistic for a U18 team to exist and play on another day, however if it was a real match, there can't only be one bookmarker in the world featuring this match... Let alone a bookmaker that came out really recently.

So yeah, it is actually an issue with trust, but having a match where you're supposed to win 10x guaranteed maybe makes some people less likely to check.

Looking at the matches posted on those telegram channels and without having the check its legitimacy on the web through simple google research is likely the attitude of a person that's likely to get scammed. When you are into sports betting, you'll always check the other bookies for you to determine the odds of it and if you have found the best odds and you're into that team or athlete then you'd definitely going to bet on it. Someone who relies wholly the decision to these channels and signals, think that they're brilliant and letting others do the job. But no, you're not brilliant and you're just bunches of lazy people that wants to get hold of yourselves.

That's the typical person that's too gullible and will never do better if you don't change. Don't believe into fixed matches, most of these if legitimate are only happening in the terms of people like Drake and his connections. But for these random telegram channels that comes out like lots of mushrooms, you're likely to get scammed on them and just make your own analysis because that's the fun part of doing bets especially in sports.

I'm quite confident that these Logan Paul matches are fixed as well.  I mean I know the guy isn't fighting real fighters.  It's always either a guy from the UFC who's putting on boxing gloves, or some old fighter or whatever.  His new bout is against some fighter that I read hasn't fought it over 6 years.

I appreciate you pointing out the bs though with fixed matches in general!

This is one of the easiest scams to be executed, as little creative is needed from scammers, besides zero costs, therefore it's not a surprise they are so popular and are targeting lots of people who watch sports matches and want to make some easy and fast money.

Anyone can predict any matches' results as they wish and tell everyone else they had access to inside informations, so their predictions are accurate and guaranteed for that reason. If the predictions are made over minor leagues' matches, then the scam looks even more legit, because such leagues are well known for fixed results and inconsistent results.

In my opinion the best way to avoid being scammed is to avoid fixed matches. Don't try being clever to take advantage of a scam (the hypothetical fixed game itself), because you might be the one who will end being scammed after all...

Just to be fair though, everything is being targeted by scammers, as they are everywhere. And they are smart, they know that there are a lot of money to be made in this sports betting as people are willing to bet hundreds and hundreds. And so they created this Telegram communities to look for victims. Unfortunately, there are still gullible sports bettors who still fell for it as they just randomly believed that it's genuine and this scammers can fixed games in order to make a lot of money. So extreme caution is needed from us and maybe we can report it to Telegram and hopefully they can take actions and ban those accounts in their platform and to stop gamblers losing their money to this criminals. Just put a bet on legitimate crypto of fiat websites and we will all be good.

This is a good advice. As it is said, a word is enough for the wise. Most gamblers out of frustration go online to search for sites that can offer fixed matches without knowing that they are giving themselves out to be easily scammed. Searching for fixed matches creates more problems for the gambler than it solves.  I have always advised gamblers around me that there is nothing like a fixed match. Even though it exists, you cannot have access to it. Fixed matches are not open to the public because of the sanctions the team or players involved get. It is done with utmost secrecy and with few persons. Sometimes, when a particular match is widely staked by so many gamblers and it won, the game is been investigated to know if it was fixed.

So, when we look at the check involved in match-fixing, it becomes clearer why we shouldn`t hope to get fixed matches. We don`t need fixed matches to make money through gambling. What matters is strategy. Even though no strategy can guarantee 100% winning with a good strategy losses can be controlled. Only ignorance and greed will make a gambler feel that he will win all the time because the nature of gambling speaks volumes already on the impossible of always winning.

I am pretty sure if someone knew a match was fixed, he wouldn't make it public information. Why would he do it at all? He could just gamble and win millions without getting caught. But as we all know, fixed matches are mostly fake. Some people especially on Facebook, posts different results of future matches - but makes posts private. After results come, they make winning bet visible/public. Those are all baits to pull people to telegram channels and scam more.

Definitely, there's no way that they're going to let in some poor stranger in on such a big scheme because most match fixing are mostly created by a group of people that are supposed to be secret because they can be sanctioned or worse, penalized and they can't really risk telling that to an outsider because most of the time, the investigations in match fixing is pretty much successful and they're really good at uprooting the people behind the scandal. Totally with you that no one should take the offer seriously because they're most likely going to be a scam and it's going to be extra hurtful to get scammed with this one because you're thinking that you're going to get a big win but then you got hoodwinked.

Is there an option to report Ads on Facebook and Instagram? I'm asking this because I've deleted my Facebook and Instagram Ads several years ago. I'm sure that there must be an option to report ads, that are promoting sketchy products and services. Gambling ads shouldn't be allowed on big social media platforms. Why would anyone deposit money on a shady, obscure sports betting platform, without checking the reviews and feedback about that platform? Such scams will continue to exist, as long as there are greedy and gullible people, who are falling for this sh&t.

The people who are deceived by fixed matches are those who want to get rich from gambling. That's logical. Because when the person feels he knows the final result of the match, he will bet a lot of money to get double profits. And that's the kind of psychology that scammers take advantage of. They rely on their creativity to trap and convince people that they have leaked information from trusted sources.

I think rich people or people who don't want to make gambling a source of income will not be affected by it because what is important for them is to feel the adrenaline rush of betting something on a team's victory.

You are right, if it's a real match fixing the amount of money that will be in stake is very huge those who are facilatating those kind of event will never reveal what's going to happen, they will not share that knowing that it can be ruined or like what you said they might be caught and for sure sanctioned will be serve.

Those who are offering a fixed match will just scam you, if by chance they find some luck that the pick will win it doesn'e mean that they will continue that winning streak time will come and you'll be busted and you'll find yourself regretting that you believe and follow those kind of offers.

One of many reason why its hard to believe those people claiming something that they can do such fix matching on certain leagues and we know how to organize this one since it need a lot of money to spend before they could make this to happen and I believe no teams will risk their reputation for small amount of money that's why I always believe thay someone claiming they can do it and ask money for tips they give for sure this is obviously a scam.

We should start to ignore these crazy claims told by people who want to take advantage on the situation and we should know how we can determine on who are the team have good chance to win. Research is important and we don't need any predictions of other people here.

Victims are most of the time those who are seeking for a shortcut to being rich and gambling does not work that way. Well, you could have advantage over other players such as with fixed matches or having access with such feat. However, would it be that easy? Most of the time, those people or gamblers who are inside a match fixing groups are rich ones already or simply with exclusivity. Now if you are a norma gambler and you dream of such privilege, then establish yourself first and do not settle with small match signal groups 'coz there's a higher risk that they will just take advantage of your eagerness to 'easily' win. Just gamble as you should be, if you want assured or less risky profit, engage with businesses and investments rather.

I don't want to access such feat in this industry. Eversince I got here, I am aware that losing will always be a part of the game and it makes gambling a beautiful activity, like the 'art' itself in the concept. You are not really taking a gamble if you are haing such advantage over other bettors 'coz you are simply just cheating. Imagine how many people have lost huge amount of money and still ended up with nothing. Have at lest some respect to their effort of being fair and just testing their luck. Cheating will never be validated by anything even if it is money. If you are not gambling, then you are cheating. If you are cheating, then you are being unfair. If you are being unfair, then what's the point of doing so?

Yes.

Actually Meta allows gambling ads, as long as the casino is regulated and it's promoted on a country where gambling is legal (https://web.facebook.com/business/help/345214789920228). However even they can take down many gambling ads, there are still a lot users will advertise gambling because they can run a bot or using other way to stay undetected.

Well I don't know how reliable it is when it come to the information of fixed games because the last time I can remember these games are not played by controlled robots which could be said of them that they were programed to produce such results at such times so I really do find it difficult to believe in fixed matches since humans are the once playing such games.

If one understands sports games so we'll then the issues of fixed game will be something then we wouldn't  be brotherd so much about and think of placing our money on such to the point you get scammed, I also wonder why would you want to get involved with a third part to able to fund your gambling wallet as it doesn't sound reasonable to me because why wouldn't you just go ahead on the site and explore various funding options and pick that which suits you and fund your wallet then go ahead and bet rather than involving a third-party that can get you scammed, that's too risky. Even if it's a streamer, always make sure to fund on the site directly.

Oh yeah, fake fixed matches. I've never been scammed like this but I hear that this has been going around, but what would you expect? My father got a call once from a guy who claimed to be a police officer and he told him that his house is being targeted by burglars and that he should take all the cash he has at home and take it to a bank. The fake police man was most likely hiding somewhere along the street, watching the house with his friends, waiting for my father to walk out with the money. He didn't fall for it, but I've read that some woman in my town did.
Watch out for scammers guys. It's much easier to sell a fake fixed match than really fix it and the amount of scammers and thieves in the last few years has increased, probably due to inflation and financial problems people are facing.

The fixed matches is the trick used by the hosting people,because they spread about the fake fixing matches in the society.So the people who want to make money will believe their words,when the trust was made.The gamblers use to bet the maximum amount of dollars based on the potential,but the fake fixed matches will get all in from the gamblers.Many fake match fixing bookies do this fake spread about the matches.We should bet based on our knowledge in the game,because the knowledge is only key to get escape from the fake match fixing in the society.The fake match fixing was the scam one but the real match fixing will give us the huge money.

 ;D I can't help but admit that this is a very clever scam. This reminded me of a story where a couple of years ago someone created a fake cricket league in India where actors played the roles of players, and scammers collected bets on the outcomes of such staged games.
In such stories, besides the ingenuity of the scammers, what also surprises me is that there are always people who fall for such nonsense, although minimal research should have turned them away from interacting with such shady companies.

a simple search will give you idea if the match really exists or not. so if the user will fall on this scam, it means, the user failed to do a simple search over the net and just believe what the scammers are telling him, which is clearly ignorance of the user.
if you don't want to be a victim of this scam, why not -
> at least do your part of searching those matches over the net
> search the bookie if it exists, because one hit of search button will give you tons of list
> do yourself a favour, the use of search button is free and will save you from headache
> did i just say, hit the search button?
i guess, those who will be a victim on this clear scam act are those bettors who don't even know the sports they are betting with. how can you so gullible on this, if you just basically believe for what the stranger is telling you to do so?

Truly that fixed matches scam is very common among telegram users,  I can't imagine how people fell to this simple trick of scam, how can I get some fictitious scores from anonymous individuals telling me to pay some money for some fixed matches honestly that is a red flag to me I can never subscribe to that type of channel because I knew from onset is a scam  infact majority of the telegram fixed matches providers do ask for upfront payment before they release those fixtures I believe that is blatant lie of course some of after receiving payment they consequently blocked their subscribers or release a fake fixture saying it's a sure one.

Sure, that is the most common and simple scheme, the one you described there. But even if there are some red flaga to be cautious about one must be aware about the existence of even more complex waits to scam people looking for information about alledged fixed matches. For example, the scammers could try to create two betting groups at the same time with as much people as possible. They would claim to be experts at predicting matches and will offer their first prediction to be free and the next one to be for those who pay.
When all it is settled they select a match and give a prediction in one of the groups and a different one in the other one, regardless of the result in the match, people in one of those Telegram groups will be convinced about the grade of professionalism and skill the moderators have to make money off sport bets, all it is left for the scammers is to collect the money and then disappear.
In this example, since they already provided alledged proof of their accuracy of their predictions, they are more likely to scam more money off their victims, since more of them will fall for their own greed.

Sounds a bit like phishing, most emails will find even me believing it plausible if you catch me at midnight half asleep reading it.    With gambling always start off playing to see the result, you put down a token and you observe the outcome your involvement is to learn and gain experience and so this light playing is always going to be a genuine win as you will build yourself up for future full betting.  Don't start off with full betting, don't dive into the deep end & remember its a game and every game you must learn all the rules written and unwritten.
   The no withdrawal problem is not so rare, again start cautious and be careful.  Bet, win or lose and then withdraw only when you've done this a while can you be more sure that the money isnt one way.  I'm not a giant bettor and I've seen the withdrawal problem or quite deliberate scam occur, you have to presume you will encounter it in your 'career'.
 There is a worth to the long term betting houses, they got reputations to uphold so anyone new should be biased to the oldest companies imo as it has a worth in degree of long term operation and security that has been part of the scene for years.

Not familiar with the instance you have mentioned but I am more amazed by it given that there were acting done just just to pull up the scam which proves that scammers will do anything even the craziest ideas, just to get what they want. People being fooled with things involving money isn't a new thing right? And same viewpoint I have with this topic or discussion. I am a bit one of those who wants to laugh a the victims of fixed matches 'coz for me it is unfair. Those who would be betting on the opposite team of the biased, will be taken advantage of. Unfair that the ones who are playing things with fair and just are ones who will lose just because everything is scripted.
Greed and laziness would be able to explain the existence of fixed matches. Many people are interested with easy ways to earn money and this is what bad people are looking forward to. Gamblers who are thirsty of an easy win are their main targets. I don't get the part of disregarding personal passion because of money, even if there will be people who would be cheated on. Some gamblers took their life out of frustration and would you guys blame me if I'd see people who buys match fixing, murderers in such way?

WOW that's funny to me, people will always fall into the hands of scammers because we are 8 billion plus (https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/) in the whole world, so among us we have people who still believes that scammers doesn't exist and many of them have not been scammed and most of them that have been scammed doesn't know that they have been scammed.
IMO scammers will continue to bring up more ways to scam people but we can only avoid them when we are very alert.
When we see one we make sure to share with evidence to others so that they will not fall in their hands as well.

If I ever saw a advertisement about a fixed match, I would not click it. There's no way that a fixed matches could be advertised publicly, even if it is a paid ones. So being advertised publicly is a major red flag, those who do real match fixing never share it as they spend a ton of money on making it possible. It's a scammer new way of scamming us gambler, I wonder how people are getting scammed by this. I will get it if it's newbies or new to the gambling industry but if it's a seasoned gambler, there's something wrong with that gambler. Desperation to win will just bring us to a dire situation like this, so always remember to be vigilant and stay out in this kind of offerings/scams.

Do you know that people that are docile to scam are people that see their desires as opportunities. When they see what they are looking for, they hardly check for any red flags. So you see the people that believe too much on fixed games, that's what they want to see and the wouldn't listen to another valuable information when they see their desire which is fixed games. Football and other sporting events are business, no one will comprises their position because they want to fixed matches for people to win because it's even forbidden for them to participate in gambling.

Facebook is one of the place where these fixed matches are saturated, if there is one thing I think Facebook has failed woefully is Facebook group moderation, even telegram groups aren't as useless as they look because when you see Telegram, they are obvious but Facebook as a community is a waste to see the way bad things happen in there.

I wonder why a scammer would be so honest with the intent of why such a site exists.
One of the ways leading to scam, is to start with a too good to be true offer that one can mostly only dream of, but people will take a chance at any gambling chance these days even with the name spelt out boldly as this, and such a chance at this gamble, may even not include casinos or lottery or slots. We never know what could pay off.

I never go for such fake fixed match predictions because it would of course be fixed and unlike any other money making scheme, it is sure to take advantage of ones funds and focus.

This is so much of a professional fraud, looks so original. I've bumped into some of these posts on Facebook,  but being a person who hardly believes in some sort of fixed alien matches to reputable betting platforms, I just ignore them. They're very carry and must've spent Los of resources and time to put up this one.

This still raises the question why these guys thinks its only scamming people that can earn them a living. Since you can put this site together, what stops you from including a casino in it and go legitimate with adverts and bonuses to claim your crowd and make cool, legitimate funds?.

The idea that people are out there pretending to offer fixed match insider information is ridiculous, although they will probably have snagged some people if they make the pitch convincing enough. Some people are just too susceptible or gullible to greed, but we all learn through our mistakes. The main problem with such an idea is quite frankly, match fixing itself is illegal in most jurisdictions which makes it a dumb thing to advertise if you were doing it. Besides that, the actual people - the players - never want it to be known that they are effectively cheating and rigging the game, as it would crush their career. Then you have the idea that if everyone can find out what fixes are taking place, the bookmakers stop offering profitable odds on those markets.

I seen so many fake adverts and their referrals are basically to a telegram channel... I've been asking myself what really happens when they all get there until I decided to join one myself.. I did that because I didn't see any harm in trying to satisfy my inquisitiveness.

---

one of the things I realized was that they've made the telegram channel in a way that any spam/derogatory word will immediately be deleted; in anycase, nobody sees your plea, that could sometimes serve as a warning to others...
I had a similar complaint from a close friend when some group of guys discovered a way to activate sportybet balance adder... It was all FAKE!

If someone message you involving a fixed match sports betting through a referral, yeah it's likely a scam. Participating in such activities is not only against the law but also damages the fairness of sports. I remember it happens many times here in the Philippines like cock fighting and basketball tournament. It's important to clear of these situations to avoid legal trouble. Keep out for any such offers to prevent illegal activities in sports betting. Stay on the safe side by staying away from anything related to fixed match betting.

Why these scammers are winning because many gamblers focus on the rewards that are really tempting without thinking about what is really all about - scams. Not to wonder why innocent and greedy gamblers had fallen into this idea because what is in their mind now is the chance to become rich and the chance to change their life.

A fixed match is a clear scam, you bet they win. There is no chance of winning in this game and should not be ignored.

I've actually seen this one plenty of times. Kudos for the write-up.

Just using some logic should hopefully make it clear why this is a scam. Firstly, fixed matches are illegal, and why would anyone openly advertise the fact that they are in on fixed matches? Secondly, if there were indeed a professional match fixer, why would they let anyone else know, as that would diminish their profits?

Sometimes greed gets the best of people and they fall for this. But it is entirely avoidable.

I don't really give attention to this online bullshit of fixed matches, because  even if matches are fixed the team involved will not open up. Because they will face big penalty or charges for fixing matches, and these guys or scammers online claiming they have fixed matches would have been millionaires because if you know the outcome already on your own, you will bet or stake high on games that are fixed and you will be winning frequently. That's why as a gambler it's necessary you follow up or be familiar with games that you bet on so that  scammers like this will not persuade you in believing in their fake antics to scam people of their money in the name of fixed matches.  I love sports games and I participate fully on sports betting I can never fall to these scammers because I know the games I play. Most times it could be these Betting platforms that sponsor these guys, for more people to play game on their betting platform  and to make money because many people do fall victim to these stuff.

I had no idea that such kind of scams are being promoted now. Thank you got sharing it with us, it's important to spread the latest scam stories as much as possible so that the majority of people are made aware and don't fall for the scam. It makes sense that these type scans are only done on games where there is no active market. Because otherwise people would just place their bets at their usual bookmakers. My best protection against the scam is probably that I only bet on bigger matches where there are a lot of different quotes. Just having one bookmaker alone offering quotes would make very skeptical, because who knows how competitive the odds are. I like to compare odds and payouts across multiple websites and take the best one for me.

Also, to stay away, trust your own assessment and analysis. There's nothing better than having your own knowledge regarding the game or sports that you are betting with. Those kinds of offers are only going to put you in big regret as there's no assurance that it will happen, a fixed match maybe happening but being part of it is something that's not easy to achieve. A large amount of money to facilitate, and the important factor is being out of sight of anyone.

So, if there's someone who's convincing you that you can generate huge money from these kinds of activities, most of the time, instead of gaining that kind of results, it turns against you, and you surely regret involving yourself in it.

Taking into account the fact that now neural networks and enormous computing power are available for a very reasonable fee, in the future we should expect even more crazy scam projects where even actors will not be needed. For example, the same fake cricket league can be organized simply using neural networks. Plus, if you look a little further ahead, it will be possible to programmatically generate all the content around this - forums, discussions, pages in fake encyclopedias about these events, etc. It turns out that even if a person uses the search, he will get the impression that all this is real. The complexity of the task of distinguishing reality from fakes is becoming more and more interesting with the development of technology.

Well believe it or not there have been actual fake matches marketplaces but it was nothing like what I talked to in the OP.
For one, yes, anything advertised through social media involving gambling is likely to be a scam. META, Facebook's and Instagram's parent company, is notorious for accepting scam ads which lead people to being tricked again and again.

These will get reported and perhaps deleted but by that time the scamers don't care. They Just get new URLs, rebrand their marketing, and keep going. Or if the scam wasn't effective enough, they just create an entirely new scam altogether. It seems as though these scams are staffed by many skilled workers. Some being active in chat constantly, the websites and marketing materials being well designed and they even have support agents responding in due time for their fake websites. It's amazing. So it's easy to tell that these are well organized operations, even more organized than certain businesses I've known.

This type of scam will just fall for the newbie bettors or the ones that are desperate to win. By looking at this, it is too good to be true. If things are too good to be true, then doubt them and don't try them. Besides, why would they look for bettors to encourage them to bet on their "fixed match" if they can bet on their own because it is a fixed match? They just want to encourage a lot of people, scam them, and take profit from them.

But yes, there are several instances of fixed matches. Like the ones in the CBA where two teams were disqualified from the on-going season. According to a report, CBA specifically did not use the term "match-fixing" but instead "passive playing." But it's still the same: you're playing passively because you want the other team to win.

But still, availing of these fixed matches is a risk, and I do not recommend it. Do your own research on a particular game, and trust your skills and instincts. Do not believe in these so-called fixed matches.

It is good that the OP brought such information here to give people the awareness of how this scammers operates. Anybody that want to look for a legit match fixing site, is a fool because gambling is a game of luck and anything that has to do with match fixing should be avoided no matter if it is legit or not, because majority of the are scam.

I don't bet on match fixing, but rather I bet on big leagues that will be impossible for match fixing so that I can enjoy the thrill and if possible win some little funds. Ignorant is not an excuse.

True, if ordinary people able to get that info easily with only pays a few dollars then sports betting providers shall know about it too.
In the end, any bets on the "rigged matches" will be void and nobody gets profit except the person who sells the info.

Match fixing does exist but only certain people who know about it and definitely they wont sell it for a small amount of money.
They can get big money with bet on that, why they have to sell it?
That is why most of the fixed match seller is scammers, most of them done that because they need the money to gamble either.

I always think that this type of information is very precious and if the scammer knows this information he could very well bet alone and win much more. This way, when he publishes it, he ends up dividing the bookmaker's odds, causing the percentages to decrease.

When you think about it you can easily realize this does not really makes much sense, it is because of this that those scammers often try to rush people to take advantage of those false opportunities by claiming their readers only have hours or minutes left to make their bet, by doing this they do not give time to their victims to think about why someone with that information will be interested in sharing it, instead of keeping quiet and make the most out of that information on their own.

So people need to realize that once there are people offer them something unrealistic it means its not really possible to make all of it happen and no one can give them accurate winning opportunity since this is hard to execute by just single person only. Its important for people to have critical thinking in this situation so that they will not fall as a scam victim of those people who's trying to take advantage on situation and ride on the hype by those sporting events.

Being informed on this kind is situation is so important and further more research also be active watching is more helpful thing that we can do to win possibly on our placed bets on sport matches.

Availing fix matches brings a lot of risk so maybe much better for them to do a research than participating and believing that there's one of this exist that can give them accurate winnings.

those who take the bait are sometimes desperate to get good amount of money at a shortest time possible. hence, not doing their job of searching if the offer is indeed legit and valid. this is why these scammers need to find a way how to fish those gullible individuals tempting them to invest on them for the promise of getting high profits.

do remember, if they do believe that they have like almost 100% guarantee of winning the bet, why not look for private entities that can exploit this chance and profit from this opportunity on their own? why disclose it to public, if they have no intentions of screwing naive users?

I have come across those Scammers on telegram groups were they pretend to be good football predictions experts and until you subscribe  to their vip channel you won't get the opportunity to experience their predicted games. Most time they're even go as far as giving out correct scores. The easiest way to identify that it's a scam is if the person claims to give an accurate prediction all the time. That is the most easiest way to identify that the person behind the telegram group is a scammer. besides gambling is mostly for fun so why fall for those scams if you really play for fun?

If something comes too easily, it's good to be suspicious. Furthermore, at some point this scheme will fail and someone may even be arrested for manipulation. So I think it's much better to participate in online betting at casinos and well-known sites.

Actually its not really that hard on taking up such step or action. I dont know on why people would really be that loving on involving into those sites or platforms on which they've known that it is really just that new
or really just that recently launched. Im not saying that those new things are complete scam but it wont really be that not bad that you would really be having those precautionary steps that it is made or to be done
on the time that you would really be making out such deposit.Fake groups, fake analysis, fake platforms and other possible ways or methods of frauds could really happen into this market
and in other market as well. This is why we do have our own common sense that we would really be make use into these kind of moments.

Stick into those reputable ones and you wont really be putting up yourself on such trouble but its not really that bad to make some testing on whats new but of course
it would be ideal that you should really be that putting up a small amount of money.

Or you can just generalize the way to identify a scam, instead of saying that why not just say "If it's too good to be true then it probably is" because that's more applicable to other things that's not necessary involved in gambling, you know like an investment or a lending scheme that kind of thing, you can probably use it to also try to use this with other people if you feel like you've got some doubts or suspicious of their behavior then you're probably better stay away from that guy. The reason why they fall for these schemes is because they're not really playing for fun, that's the obvious answer to that, they really want to make money with gambling and they're so frustrated with the losses that they want to do whatever it takes to get a cheating win even if the red flags are already there.

The fact that the tips I gave can also be used to fish out other scam activities does call for aguement or this kind of replys. Where is it stated that you mustn't give a general tip for a single situation. To me, it's even an added advantage to those who also look for signal for their stock trading. The most important thing is that we learn and reframe from those kinds of things, gambling isn't a must that will win so why not appreciate the small wins and loss and consider it fun. Those who tend to go for all those scam predictions are like going to be using high stake to double or have the mentality to recover all the loss they have encountered in one single bet.

If something comes too easily, being suspicious is a good idea. Moreover, this scheme will fail at some point and someone may even be arrested for manipulation. So I think it is much better to participate in online betting at reputed casinos and sites.

If their offer is too attractive to be realized, you should be suspicious and always look for more information. But if it is from Telegram, you have to be careful because there are too many scammers on Telegram, confusing us about which ones are real and which ones are fake. You can follow threads about football on this forum because I see that people often share their predictions so you can learn from there.

Desperate to convert a quick profits, I agree with your statement scammers are just waiting and when they see that there's someone who are interested with their offers, they will bring all the enticing ideas and information just to get the atterntion of their prospects, if you are not care and you are desperate you will simply just follow and regret after.


Simply to say that there's no quick and easy access with those kinds of business, manipulating the outcome needs to provide decent amount of money, why would you think that fixers will simply offer and share the information? they are just phishing and trying to convince you with their scamming practices.

Honestly, it's kind of on these people who get victimized by these types of tongue and cheek scams if they got scammed. The jig is so obvious and everyone who has half a brain's gonna realize that this is as shady as it can be and even if it's real, it's too good to be true.

Let me paint you a picture, I got insider knowledge about who's going to win in the next few games, and somehow instead of collecting the profits for myself by making sure that less people know about the advantage I have and betting on legitimate sites to make sure I really earn the profits, I reach out to some nitwit on twitter that I find is keen on sportsbetting to pool the bets and give them insider information for free. Doesn't sound as "smart and convoluting" now when I put it like that doesn't it?

Every piece of scam on the internet requires some basic level of understanding in the field that they are operating under to be able to spot on and avoid. And I'm pretty sure everyone who's got their ducks in a row within sportsbetting isn't going to fall for this obvious honey trap. I get the intention for this post and honestly I appreciate it cause at the end of the day some idiot on twitter's gonna fall for this shit and blame the casino and the industry for their lack of preparation but I reckon that anyone who's worth protecting in this industry's already secured in the first place, so it doesn't really add anything of value to those who are veterans for that matter.

Well, we don't know how they trick potential buyers. That is their secret unless you try to approach them and ask them if they want more information about the match. They will tell you about it so you can decide to try it or stay away from it. Of course, it might be a scam that you will receive and become their next victim.

So be careful if someone offers you something that attracts your attention. Make sure that it is genuine or fake information so the offer does not fool you. Most people fall for the trap of looking too good.

There is no trick, as others have mentioned this is just how they try to scam people. They don't plan to target any specific customers, but their message itself will act as a filter that will make any uneducated person fall to their scam. It costs next to nothing to set up this group and ads, and spamming messages to social media is cheap nowadays. I'm pretty sure there is a group that manages these scammers so they can coordinate with each other, considering how often I saw similar messages being posted on different accounts on Twitter.

Well, fixed matches shared randomly in a group doesn't really make sense. Why would someone who knew that the match is fixed sharing it to strangers? then ask them for some percentage after they win? Why won't these people place a bet on their own? That's just one of the few things to consider after believing into such scam. This is similar to signal group and those pump and dump groups. These kind of scam won't go away as long as there are still a lot of people who gets fooled by such obvious scam.
IMO, there are no legit fix matched that randomly popped up and being offered by someone to you over the internet. The only way you'll have access to this fixed matches is when you are one of the member of the syndicate or any under ground activities which deal with a lot of illegal stuff. But, when you're just an ordinary online bettor, there's no way you'll have legit access to these fixed games.

If you hear someone telling you to follow them on a certain page to receive your sure-predicted game, some matches are fake and know that you are about to be duped. If not, how can someone predict a game for you when you watch football and know which team can win? I don't even follow pages or websites that promote games because I think they are all scams. Instead, I prefer to predict games with myself and try my luck; if it is certain that I will win, I will win.

It's better to predict games yourself rather than visiting websites in search of certain predictions. These websites will ask you to enter a code, and once you do, they can access your gambling wallet and defraud you. To be honest, I've never trusted these websites because I've seen too many people try to visit them and then regret it. Gambling is not about letting someone predict for you; if you're watching football, pick your matches and try it yourself.

That impossible, they won't provide any information even though we have made an offer that might be quite attractive.
Unless we collaborate or it can be mutually beneficial then it could make them provide some more detailed information but this will be collaboration related to money so there is no need to try to bet there.
Moreover, each betting place will have their own secrets to be able to generate bigger profits, this is business and it is impossible for them to let other people know the secrets they keep because it could be dangerous for the continuity of the business they have built.

In gambling, we really need to be careful and be skeptical of anyone who might have bad impact in the future.
Moreover, every offer that is given is also because of the personal benefits they want, we live in an era full of uncertainty and uncertainty.
Everything is only related to personal gain which may harm other people.

I would even go as far as saying 100% of these are scam.
Because they just don't make any sense. Sure there might be a greedy guy that thinks he can sell a game for a few $ and bet this money as well so he wins more. But the more a fixed game gets shared, the more likely it gets the whole fix is blowing up.
There are plenty of agencies overseeing betting action and obviously when too many people bet the same side it looks suspicious.

Also if the people actually find out who made the pick public this doesn't end well.

The cost of advertising is just an small amount compared to each successful scam that being made, like what you mentioned there are groups who are facilatating this kinds of activities, they are treating it as business and they are really good in doing their stuff, as we mostly see uneducated people and those who are desperate to participate and to be willing to spent money for this scamming activities.

No trick but good understanding on how to allure people, there's always someone out there that will bite this kind of offer and like what I said still profitable even those scammers spend money doing ads.

Only people who are not careful and do not want to seek more information will fall into their trap, and they will not realize that they will lose their money due to not being careful. These scammers have deceived people so often that they know how to create advertisements that attract people to register and deposit money. There are many scam advertisements on social media, and they can even use the services of people who work to make such advertisements to attract people who are not careful. Indeed, some groups coordinate these scammers in their work to deceive many people so that they remain undetected by people who are not careful and are looking for information.

We'll never know if we don't contact them to find out what they really have to offer. But if we contact them, we might fall for their tricks because they are very good at twisting their words so that we can easily be fooled and hand over the money to them. We could collaborate with them for mutual benefit, but we don't know who they are, so we don't need to take too big a risk to collaborate with them. Many other things can benefit us so that we will not experience scamming. Yes, every betting place has secrets, and they will not want to share them with people because this concerns their business.

That is why when playing gambling, we have to be more careful in spending our money so that we will not experience bad effects, especially since many people have experienced these bad things. We can only continue to be careful when playing gambling and don't let ourselves experience scamming like other people. We also have to make sure of all the offers we see first to avoid scamming from the scammers so that we won't regret having experienced scamming.

impressive way to do a scam and really elaborate activity. everything is fake here ...
this post would also deserve to be adapted for the scam accusation section (@OP).

in general if an offer seems too good to be true..., gambler must always be very doubtful when using new website. Personally I have marked several guys just promoting "fixed" matches even if the games where real. If are not scam activities, this is just a fraud and I don't want to take part in it.

Indeed, we won't know anything if we don't contact them and we will never be able to do anything to get the information we need because they will really close secret meetings related to business continuity.
It is impossible for any offer or agreement to make it easy for business people to give or say what is the secret to success or success in the business they are building.
Even people they trust may not have the opportunity to find out all the secrets that are guarded, all we can do is try to protect our money so that we don't make mistakes in betting and we must avoid every suspicious place.
As gamblers, we deposit money to bet and our job is to maintain the stability and security of the balance we have so that it doesn't end up in scam.

Using money to gamble, being careful and also making decisions is must that we do correctly and no gambler wants to enter the wrong place or inappropriate site because we could just be victims of fraud perpetrated by some of these betting services.

Spamming messages on social media is free. It's when you send a message, you are being given an option if you want to multi-send it to different people but other than this, there are also services that offers the same thing, if we don't want to exert any efforts.

What you said about groups for scammers were maybe possible because I remember there are also groups for criminals offline. If they are working together, it will be easier for them than if they will solo and it helps them earn a stable income because they might have a boss that pays them money regularly. Let's only hope that social media sites are going to much stricter about this because I believe many users now are less knowledgeable when it comes to these things.

I believe that these social media advertising sites do not filter much. There are several misleading advertisements for other situations and nothing happens. In the end, they just want to win yours and put a very small message saying that this ad could be dangerous.

That's why if we get an offer from someone we don't know, we should just skip it and not contact them again, even though they offer a way to win a lot of money from gambling. That seems like a promise that is too easy to come true, but it won't happen unless we own the casino and run the casino ourselves, and then we can get revenue from the casino. We must protect ourselves well and will not easily believe all the offers that come to us, especially if we use the internet where we never meet the person who makes the attractive offer. And if we only used gambling as entertainment, we would not think that it is a way to make money from casinos so we would really never contact such people. We just want to enjoy enough gambling games in our free time.

We also won't make a hasty decision when we see an offer like that and will look for more information to find out what it really is. This is a careful attitude we take to avoid fraud, which often occurs, and perhaps we have even experienced it. We don't want to experience it again so we can only be careful about what is offered.

Social media platforms use algorithms for almost all of the automated processes, they don't have people manually checking and approving ad campaigns and everything else, and they only manually check certain things if they are reported, which is when they remove the inappropriate advertisements and ban the pages, groups, and people from the platform if they are violating the terms and conditions of the platform.

So, these scammers and people running ad campaigns promoting something which might not be good are experts in these things and they know what they should and shouldn't use so that their ads aren't filtered out or banned, this is how they get their marketing campaigns to work well and they successfully scam a lot of innocent people this way.

Exactly, they know this happens and they don't move to help their users and keep the place where advertising is done more friendly. I believe that with this they would get even more users. That's why it's so easy to pull scams like the one the OP mentions in these ads.

First, we need to understand that there's no way a person can have constant fixed matches to sell out. I don't entirely believe there are fixed matches on gambling sites and sports bets because these gambling sites know the leagues that are likely to have fixed matches and they're lower leagues. If at all there are fixed matches, it will be available to only a selected few and it's mostly the people in the fixing.

Like the OP said, it may seem too obvious but a lot of people also pay for fixed games. Nobody would sell a fixed game for a few bucks. If it's legit, that's a gold mine, but 9.99 out of 10 of the time it's never legit. Just some scam trying to rip you off.

Also, why do people pay others for games? They pay so others can predict games for them. Gambling or sports betting is a game of chance, so how is anybody assuring you enough for anybody to pay for it? The gambling industry is big and so are the different forms of scams. Be smart.

It is because of this that people should always remain vigilant and not trust that those filters are going to protect them, they need to always analyze all the offers they read on social media and if one of those offers sounds to be too good to be true, it is better for them to stay out of it, as it is not the opportunity to make easy money they think it is, and instead it is an opportunity for the scammers behind those offers to take away their money.

What they need to know that scammers always make them think that its easy to earn by trusting them so expect that they release some sweat talks when they try to offer such Fake fix matches and other thing they can possibly offer us that can catch out attention.

Being vigilant is important trait to have since for sure if we have critical thinking regarding on those offer for sure they can't easily fooled us by fake things they offered.

Also its important to analyze the possible game result on our own so that we will not get curious to check what they are offering to us.

This scam is something that cannot stop in as much as there is sport and there is gambling. I have been scammed some years ago with this method and one thing to know is that this method doesn't actually age. They keep modifying it to decieve the gullible.
Ofcourse there are fixed matches, but finding one is not easy. The more viral fixed matches are, the faster it will be discovered and they face the penalties. So, once fixed matches is mentioned, run for your life.

Most times we see some obvious scam attempts and believe that no one will fall for it. But it is amazing that there are some people somewhere, willing to jump into the scam and become inevitable victims. The internet is strong positively and negatively.

Its a good call out to remind people there are those waiting for you to fall into the trap of thinking of easy money arriving at your feet.  Seems so obvious but people dont play gambling to do a maths test, they do it as a past time leisure something to do while drunk.  The amount of caution people have vs those waiting days and weeks for people to walk into their trap is low, it shouldnt happen but it totally does and even worse examples.   I see people arrange to do this trick vs new players especially, the best defense is stop believing in easy money and the game owes you anything you win by preparation mostly.

As a part of the gambling industry ecosystem as a whole, scam sites like that have already been part of it since then. They are everywhere.

What I'm more concerned about is how some people believe in that kind of scheme. Fixed matches might be occurring in some leagues across the sports industry but the point is, are there people who really trust a random prediction from anyone and even put a bet on it?

Scammers won't end because there are people who are feeding them. It's like an endless cycle.

Scammers often employ persuasive tactics and enticing promises to lure unsuspecting individuals into their traps. These could include offers of fixed matches or other schemes that promise easy earnings. Being vigilant and maintaining a critical mindset are indeed essential traits to have when navigating such situations. By remaining skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true and questioning the legitimacy of claims made by scammers, individuals can protect themselves from falling victim to fraudulent schemes.

Relying on own judgment and analysis reduces the likelihood of being swayed by false promises and increases the likelihood of making sound choices. by staying vigilant, exercising critical thinking, and conducting independent analysis, individuals can safeguard themselves against falling prey to scams and fraudulent activities, thereby preserving their financial well-being and peace of mind.

Totally an endless cycle but surprisingly there are still people who do really fall into these traps on which they are really that still believing that those informations
are really without even trying out to realize that these information cant really just that easily surfaced out and anyone who do really make out those kind of claims
which you shouldnt really be that trying to believe. It is really just that pure scam.

Simple as it is, gambling is a business and if there's someone who can always making money in a real sense, he will hide that as he will think wiser not to reveal anything to risk his bread and butter, those who are claiming that they can easily make money are really doing it they are being fed by people who falls as victims and will just continue the cycle.

It's always best to play with your own knowledge when you win you'll be happy with what you can take away from the house, while if you lose, just move forward and take the enjoyment that you experienced just treat it as payment to have some fun.

It's sad to see that they take advantage on people that has interest in sports and has lack of knowledge about online gambling. We should always be mindful or cautious online, to not trust everthing that you see on the internet, especially ads and promotions, because they are mostly 'too good to be true'.

There has been an increase in the rate of scams in the crypto gambling sector during this period of price increase. A close relative asked me how people still fall victim to these scam projects and I told her that many people have not encountered such scam patterns so they end up learning by experience. Newbies join the gambling industry every day and many of them don't spend time to read, observe, and understand the industry so many of them will always be victims. I also had my experience when I started gambling when someone asked for money for him to give me and my co-workers a leaked bet number. He kept convincing us that he was sure of the outcome of the game. Out of ignorance I gave the person some money and used my one-week wage to bet in the game and I got my first ugly gambling experience. Since then I refuse to be a part of any illegal process in gambling because you can also be scammed easily.

Yes, but most people who are new to both, social media and cryptocurrencies, barely understand this thing and they don't think it through. The biggest reason for this is that they don't have enough knowledge about cryptocurrencies and they think that they are a way to earn quick bucks which is why when they see something too good to be true, they think it might be true and they might get a lot of money in a short period without doing much.

I know that they should be vigilant but they will only do that if they understand the risks involved and don't think that everything they see on social media or the internet is true, however, unfortunately, most newbies don't understand these things and scammers use this thing in their favour.

Only gullible gamblers and lazy ones will believe in fixed match predictions, that is the most funny things i have come across in my betting life, because some people even go as far as subscribing to such platform who are poure scam waiting to happen, I don't trust any celebrity that tends to promote any personal or unknown platform because we have the majority of the in telegram and other platforms.

Most of the time, we need to stay away and careful when choosing any site for gambling and no one can forecast a sure game because gambling results are based on luck, so no one has a sure bet of fixed matches its scam and this social media user is right by calling out that casino for their shady dealings.

That is a critical issue faced by newcomers to both social media and cryptocurrencies. They have a lack of understanding leading to susceptibility to scams. Many people are drawn to cryptocurrencies with the belief that they offer a quick and easy way to make money. This misconception, coupled with limited knowledge about the intricacies of cryptocurrencies and the risks involved, creates a fertile ground for scammers to exploit. Vigilance is key in navigating the digital landscape, but it's challenging for individuals to be vigilant when they lack the necessary knowledge and awareness of potential risks.

Scammers capitalize on this vulnerability by presenting enticing opportunities that seem too good to be true by exploiting the trust and naivety of newcomers. Education and awareness are essential in combating this issue. They need to understand cryptocurrencies world, emphasize the importance of due diligence and foster critical thinking skills. Those are how people people can better protect themselves from falling victim to scams. Knowledge and a culture of skepticism are crucial steps in mitigating the prevalence of scams targeting newcomers to social media and cryptocurrencies.

Without a doubt their inexperience is a huge factor that allows scammers to get their way with them, but even if this explains in part their behavior, at the same time I still find it inexcusable they fall for something that is such an obvious scam, after all when was the last time someone offered you a fortune while you were just walking down the street? Never I would guess and I am pretty sure this is the case for almost everyone as well, so why do those people think there is going to be someone kind enough to do this for them? And with such a simple train of thought those people could have saved themselves from getting scammed, even if they knew nothing about this market.

As simple as that, if it's for real they will surely abuse that opportunities and they don't need to ask for some payment for their tips, if it's a sure bet then why they are still exist right? fixed games can be done by people who use huge amount of money, they will not share that as they can be exposed and they might ruined the game.

Game fixing might be existing but those people who are involve into it are people who knows how to keep things out from the radar of others. With that kind of possibility to make easy money, everyone who are really involve on it will make sure that they will preserve that cash-cow they won't let anyone to expose it.

I agree that it is indisputable that someone falls for this because to be able to enter you necessarily need to know that it is fake and you already know the result. So, it is at least strange for someone to continue and still complain about this later on.

Hahaha that true and of course if everything is guaranteed to be able to produce more wins then they don't need to make any offers because they can use it themselves to make more money.
In fact, if we think about things like this rationally and logically, we will find the answer that they are not experts but only aim to make personal profits by taking advantage of other gamblers.
In gambling, whether it casino games or sports betting, everything has uncertainty and also poses a big risk for gamblers.
If you are easily fooled by various offers that seem attractive then it is clear that only losses will occur in the future.
In this day and age, there are many people out there who try to deceive the public just to make profit, we must always be careful about things like this.
After all, we have been gambling for long time and have had various experiences so we have to be able to ensure that everything they offer is not guarantee of winning, we have to be little smarter in gambling.

There are many sources of information that can be obtained and we can look for much more precise conclusions regarding each offer that is made, don't let us be blinded by the ambition to win and make careless steps in gambling.

Yes, they make good money betting on games where they already know the outcome. However, to increase these values even further, they sell and if in doubt they may even have affiliate links or something along those lines. So doing this makes sense, even though I don't agree with this situation.

Not only this case, there are many cases of such which I have came across about ads which if you click it, it will takes you to another gambling prediction site. I have been in such situations countless times where they will redirect me to another site where they say testimony upon testimony which are all fake. and most of this result are edited which you will never know it's all fake. Sometimes before you will realise that this people are fake, you might have fall victim. I have fell Victim with them before. They told me to pay registration fee sothat they will be sending me game code to play every week after sending the money, I waited for response throughout 24hrs but all to no avail. I waited for 48hrs nothing to show that they will send the game I chatted them up no response immediately i threatened them they block me that is how I stop following site that promotes fake predictions.

At least you learned from the experience and now know those kind of offers are all a scam, however there are many people that are so obsessed with the idea of making some easy money, that they cannot let go of this idea that at least some of those offers must be real, so they keep trying their luck hoping to finally find it, but the only thing they get is more of the same and lose even more money in the process, which is a shame, as they could have saved themselves all of that money lost by simply thinking a little bit about it and coming to the conclusion that no one on their right mind will make an offer like that.

The ads now beg the question will blogs and website chose to spread fake ads because of the revenue they get? Why lure people into bad websites because they pay to for commission, you will see this in good and popular websites and that's because they don't investigate on ads, they just accept any offer and deals that comes there way and they just paste the banner on their websites because of revenue, people are wicked.

Someone once told me that Leagues that are not common and not managed well by fifa are easily manipulated and indeed there are games that are been fixed and are listed in some bookmarkers to add to other gambling website and they spread out the game and tell the people how it's going to end but you must pay to have the real score of the event and it does work. Why I believe some part of the story is when I watched one match where a player intentionally refused to scored in a penalty without anything, that game made me believe his part of the story but no matter how they brand it,  it's a scam to me.

These people are always looking for easy profit. But I really don't understand why even though they know everything is planned, those who believe think they aren't being deceived either.

It's so hard that you yourself become a victim of a fake or scam platform that you thought was the right thing to do. Just because of the trust you gave there. I hope that the rest of us will learn from people who have been victimized like the one shown here by OP.

Because the scammer will never disappear from the field where scammers can get money, so just be cautious and  smart at all times.

Fixed match information will never be published prior to that match. It is very secretive. If someone wants to accept deposits by saying such offers, then it is better to avoid it completely. Those scams may have inside news about some sports, they want to sell that information to common people in exchange for money, moreover, they can call for betting scams by depositing money on various scam sites. I myself got some such offers on my Telegram channel. But as I have preconceived notions about this, I did not fall into their trap, but those who are new are more at risk. They will deny them the opportunity to withdraw after receiving their full deposit.

However, I have followed a few fixed match bets where the information provided did not match the actual game. I would advise gamblers who are targeting fixed matches for guaranteed wins they should remove of this mentality.

Sure they will almost never become public, it is so hard to find a leak since this society is very closed and not easy to get any insight.
What sometimes gives it away is when odds are too odds to be true.
There is a classic name for that, the "vegas trap" . I have often seen that in NCAA basketball, teams that should be an 8-10 point favourite are only favoured by 2, even though they are not resting anybody or have injured players.

And often these traps often go in the direction of that team that should never be favoured in the first place.
I don't know what it is, but this stuff looks so off sometimes.

There is a match in Korean womans basketball in 3 hours today. 1st place (26:3 record) plays at 2nd to last place (8:21 record) and they are only a 1 point favourite. Last 3 games they played and the first place team won the handicap pre game was around 15 points and even more. So strange sometimes.

Anyone that actually had secret information about the score or the result of a match will never share that with anyone, and it is not difficult to understand why, after all if I knew what was going to be the result of a match in advance I could make a huge bet knowing there is no way I was going to lose, so someone with that information could make millions in a short amount of time even if their starting capital was small, making anyone offering that information for free or for a low price a scammer in my eyes.

People believe in rumors and that information gets out, the story sells the bet.   The mistake is ever going near a false game or corrupt practise, its not a one off example that being willing to accept this falsehood leads to no good and a trick is played.   These things have been happening going back to the Greek fables, always learn the old stories because some mistakes are eternal in their fallacy and appeal to human nature.

You learned the hard way too.
Most of these scammers are lurking in Telegram, the home of scammers. They could easily hide there and they will just keep on buying new SIM cards so they can register over and over again.
I don't really believe in bookies that know the results of the game unless they are small leagues. Because they can pay one team or the coach just to end up losing the game. That is the reason why I won't believe those scammers too.
I have not yet been a victim of this kind of scheme but I did bump into one, in Telegram, of course. And all I can say is they are truly persistent. From one name to another name will come popping out of your Telegram account and they will keep on asking the same question until you bite. I bet they are a group of scammers who are attacking new members of Sports Chat places and they will keep on coming until you agree to their offer.
I tried chatting with them but didn't go as far as paying the said subscription fees, I know it's a scam but I was just curious about how they will work it out if one doesn't agree. Luckily, they stopped after I hadn't made a reply for a long time. :D I guess ignoring them literally will be the key to avoiding them.

Exactly, greed and ignorance ends up making people blindly believe in this even though they know it's all set up and they believe they are taking advantage of this situation.

Given fixed matches are happening but the challenge is still on how to spot the right side? As a gambler, we should bet on the right side to win, but there's no one is ever consistent with that, the real situation is we are still guessing, so we are still gambling. Better don't believe on people who are selling information about fixed matches as it is just likely a scam, who would sell a fixed match if they can bet on their own, the secret is safe and they can continue to abuse it.... Sometimes we need to carefully analyze the offer, when  it's too good to be true, we should know the drill.

Yes, if you want to bet you can follow their tips. However, you will have to follow someone who you know is scamming people on a large scale. This in itself is already very difficult to live with.

I think everyone has been in that situation. I have also been a victim of fraud from fake prediction sites. They said that they already had affiliations with several bookies who did match fixing. They also provide several testimonials from people they say they have successfully helped. At that time, without thinking twice, I immediately joined and just like Samlucky, they never contacted me again. They only took a small amount so that this case did not lead to legal proceedings. I lost $10 on the registration fee. At that time I didn't think that if they knew the score before the game, why would they offer it to someone else and have to pay for it?

True, but at the same time, how greedy a person can get? At some point those people need to realize that it is going to be impossible for someone to offer them information that could be worth millions of dollars for nothing, that sort of arrangement can only happen under very specific circumstances, while the rest of the time whenever a person were to find themselves facing such a proposal, they need to be well aware that it is a scam and nothing more.

I really hate and disbelief that anyone would really gamble for fun, although I'm not saying it's not possible but how many persons here are actually gambling for fun, to gamble for fun the stake and what you want to win should not even move you maybe your trying to support your team and showing your zeal by putting a stake on them.

You also need to be rich and financially stable and your not looking at profits in any way. So for real there are very few people gambling for fun and I can bet your not one of then either so you either stop deciving yourself or you face the truth.

I believe that greed will always exist, as you mention. However, I believe that anyone who understands that this is a fraudulent scheme will be able to enter but will enter with money that can be lost.

Why will anyone promote first of all if he has fixed matches? To get attention of the all the people and then finally the players will be questioned? Hence all the matches that you see here and there available publicly that is claiming to be fix matches are only scams. They just send you some fake screenshots to make you believe that yes they have won many times. Now a days it’s hard to get fix matches.

there was a man I met on social media, this man claims that all his match are fixed with a 100% guarantee. he sent me a screenshot of the game and the options where covered with ink,and he mistakenly forget to covered the QRCode, when I saw the QRCode on the bet slip I quickly screenshot the bet slip. then I decided to scan the code, only for me to discover that the whole selections was last week games, and this whole game failed drastically.had it been I was not smart enough, I don't know what would have become of me, that is to show how wicked most  people can be, all in the name of scamming to get money.

I believe that even with all the necessary evidence, there will be people who will bet and trust this, as it is a relatively easy profit and depending on the approach and what they say, it will be more convincing.

So what should be the lesson from this? I say, if you want to bet on something that is "fixed" .. even if it is fake, then you deserve to lose your money.

You are trying to scam the betting platform by betting on fixed matches, so you are also a scammer then.

Two wrongs does not make something right.  ::)

I suppose that what we need to learn is to avoid those offers no matter what, because as you mention, even if the offer was real and a person could earn money this way, this will mean they are scamming the casino in which they make their bets as they have privileged information they should not have, however there are some gamblers out there that most likely do not care about such thing as long as they can obtain the profits they expect out of their bets.

We can continue to fight against these illegal activities that takes place in the system. We're only here to ensure we milked the system, I know it's not easy to grabbed good winning stands on these gambling grounds but we should also exercised patience because everything is a gradual process. The fake fixed matches does send evidence to the gamblers, meanwhile the easily minded gamblers will notify for fixed games as if this exist. Everyone is desperate to make money and having the evil mindset of turning scamming towards gambling. Most of them that indulges in activities they know nothing about will end up losing.

In reality, it is very bad that some things that are as sacred as sport are affected by things like this. I am clear that in the world there are situations of people who are in very bad Shape financially and they are encouraged to do bad things and make very bad decisions. terrible, causing good actions and well-established things to become unbalanced, when we talk about fixed games, they have to include athletes, athletes that we don't know if they are Being threatened or Something, but that has a negative effect, sometimes sports when seen This is how tragedies happen.

I don't know if you remember the 94 World Cup in USA, when the Colombian player scored an own goal, maybe there was so much money at stake (at that time from drug traffickers in Colombia and gangsters) that when the player arrived in Colombia he They killed, then sport cannot be seen as a business marked by blood or things like that, which cloud absolutely everything.

You're right, but few people think that way.  Many times they just bet and followed the advice of these people aiming for easy profit

This fixed game sites are so sophisticated to the point that they will send you edited evidence as though it is real, give you a link to a phishing websites and tell you to confirm the winning. If you are not so careful, you will fall for it. They will should you fake Whatsapp messages showing their chats with a client thanking them for making him win and some post good testimonies about how genuine the site is but all this these are organized crime to ripp you off your money.

Desperation is the reason why many gamblers fall for fixed match scam  as you pointed out. When you lack patience and so wants to win at all costs, you start seeking for strategies and short cuts to take to have your desired win and this can make you a prey in the hands of scammers disguise as a genuine fixed match vendor.

That's they think how easy money works. If they're for it then they don't know if the match is truly fixed or not.

Then with that, they're for sure going to lose their money and will regret that they've entered into fix match betting.

They're going to learn their experiences and will regret that they've got into it. But Kakmakr is right, if someone does it like that. These activities aren't different from the typical scam that they do and trying to cheat the casino they're betting.

Yes, and like almost everything that involves schemes, we will have to say that people need to be aware of this type of situation because one detail can change a lot

This isn't something I've seen myself, as I don't trust any random stranger who's promising to make me money by any means, and that includes match predictions that promise great accuracy and great returns. However, I've encountered many advertisements on social media, especially through TikTok or Instagram reels, portraying huge wins or large amounts of cash. To be honest, anyone who falls victim to such a scam deserves it, as it's clearly fueled by greed and inability to understand how basic principles work. As @Kakmakr already mentioned, two wrongs don't make it right. On top of that, if anyone had such inside information, he'd use it himself, not share it with the whole internet. That doesn't make much sense, does it?

Well, now that the NBA is investigating a possible betting scandal this thread get some new fuel.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar/26/nba-investigating-raptors-jontay-porter-betting-irregularities
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwBdenyI7Vg

Funny thing, this first game also has some connection to out forum since there is a scam accusation thread against stake which blocked money and said they are "investigating" 2 bets of the guy.
First I thought this is a bs excuse not to pay the man but now this has become interesting since stake was right all along.

This is the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5486388.0

On this example you can see well, even if you bet on something rigged ( knowingly or not ) , that's only the start. The next obstacle is getting paid your money. In this case so many people bet the same thing so the bet got flagged.
If an unknown bench player in the NBA gets the most betting action of all NBA players that day there must be something wrong obviously. Curious to see how this plays out.

So the casinos and the NBA have some sort of partnership here? Because as per report, it has only become suspicious because of the betting pattern in a certain casino, so with that nature, I don't see the NBA will be able to maintain its intergrity when link to a casino for any investigation.

I don't know if my analysis is correct, but this investigation has nowhere to go unless Porter is caught betting on himself or against himself which is a violation on his contract in the NBA.

Logically right, if you have that access for sure instead of sharing you'll keep hide it to make sure that no one will ruined your cash-cow, afraid that someone will exposed your income generating source, those who claim to provide surebets are scammers who wanted to earn in a very sure way, imagine someone take the offer and send out the money, easy pocket for those scammers and like you mentioned it's sad to say but it's really a deserving outcome as instead of doing your own research you'll been allure by the offer and send your money, your decision, your fault.

But unfortunately we will have this type of advertisement in all market niches, be it crypto or even traditional. We will always have these lies. The problem is that greed will always speak louder than anything else, regardless of the person.

Truth be told, you're right, this isn't something found solely in gambling, but also in cryptocurrency trading and investing. We've all encountered so-called signal groups or insider's information about some random token that's going to pump in price.
Well, it makes sense, doesn't it? It's simple logic: if I had a hint about a match that's going to guarantee me a win, I wouldn't tell anybody for any kind of money. Unfortunately, there's still a decent number of people who fall for such scams, not necessarily due to greed but because they're naïve and gullible enough to think that there's a stranger online who's caring for their financial well-being.

Exactly, everything will have its "match fixed" depending on where and how. But the solution to this will always be the same regardless of the niche: Be careful and don't bet everything you have. This will always help and it will never hurt.

If only proven to be legit that those so-called fixed matches truly works, then that is definitely an example of easy money. They must only be aware that when someone thing is easy, there must also be a drawback on it. In the case of these fixed matches, many of them are fake and we can lose money here two times because we also need to pay for their service apart from the bets that we placed in a gambling site. Another thing that we can lose here is our dignity.

It's still best if we take things fairly and it is said to attract a good luck. There is also a thrill and excitement from playing a game that you don't know if who will win between the two teams/players.

There's no way that we could really be able to verify these things if these are actually that insider infors or really those legit fixed matches information on which we know that these kind of things doesnt really easily surfaced out. It isnt really that shocking anymore these kind of claims that we are seeing into the space on where there would really be those individuals whose really that pretending that they have some insider information about some certain fixed matches. This is why with those newbie bettors then they would really be that easily beleive that it was a real one.

Lets say those scammers saying about this on a certain match up and telling this and that on whose gonna win. If it do win then it would be a normal approach into those
who followed having those kind of thoughts that it was a legit one. So in next then they would really be following and this is where those fraudsters would really be
aiming into.
