When you start to believe a certain league is fixing their games, do you believe because you’ve actually seen real evidence or reports, or just because you’ve read too many rumors and speculations online?

Sometimes we get too deep into analyzing every play, every foul, every missed shot thinking maybe the game was rigged. But maybe it’s just us overanalyzing, expecting a fix every time something looks off. So are we becoming too paranoid as fans or is there really something shady going on behind these games?

yes I do believe that some leagues do fix there games. I may not have an evidence to prove it but I have actually watched some sports betting like pool betting. There are some matches that they do fix to play draw, I know this may sound some how to some person but for those who has had experience with pool betting will get a clearer picture of what am really saying. The way the pools fixtures is being drawn out some of the games there has fixed to play draw.

Yeah I used to believe that before but not by the rumors they spread online but by experiment, there's this friend of mine that happened to be a draw specialist when I said draw specialist he doesn't bet any other options apart from draw which he really devote his time to analysis it from week to week he have both last season record and even seasons before last he have this informations all combined together.

But I must say that even with all this informations that he gathered yet he barely win in gamble, though if it was during the early stage he usually make some winings but this current time is as if the whole system has changed as he don't usually win unlike the early stage. so this makes me feel that there's nothing like fix anymore because there are some games that he proved to me most time that seems sure because he usually prove it with a good reference sometimes it might be a second time movement but you will be surprised to see them terminating the movement that initial time you discovered it.

It is difficult to confirm but you doubt some things in the game. Sometimes during the end of the league, you begin to see trace of such even though you can't really confirm it.

On a deeper thought too, it is possible to happen because football is now a big business and in business, there will be a level of bargaining and compromise. If you don't do that bargaining, you may not sell. Looking at the fact that football is business, you can reach a near conclusion that the business can also extend to buying and selling of matches which is going to be a top secret.

There are more rumors than actual news, but even the few confirmed reports are enough to make us believe it’s really happening in the league.

For instance, that NBA referee who was jailed for years over sports betting, Tim Donaghy.
Honestly, I sometimes think he was just the fall guy. He probably received instructions from higher-ups, but to protect the league’s reputation, someone had to take the blame, and that ended up being him.

It wouldn’t be surprising if there was more going on behind this than what they made public.

I like that kind of mindset, not fully trusting what we see. With that kind of thinking, especially in betting, you tend to be more cautious when you spot a line that seems to attract the public too easily.

In my case, I’d skip that kind of game right away because it usually feels like a 50-50 outcome, and I don’t want to gamble blindly without solid analysis.
I prefer betting on games where I believe there’s balance on both sides, those are less likely to be fixed and easier to read logically.

Basically we cannot really identified game fixing early because it's hard to identified it but if you were watching some games and found a controversial decision from the referee or the players makes intentional mistakes which caused their teams were lost probably we can assuming those games are fixing but to decide the games is fixing or not usually the autoritized will investigate for certain time and they will announce the games were fixing or honest but me personally believe games fixing is exist because in my country i have seen some of soccer games are fixing and those who involved gets banned by not being allowed to do any more activities on sports for their lifetime

100% netizens are only trusting it based on what they have seen in socmed without knowing the truth. There might be some match fixing, but it's rarely happening. Majority of people called the game rigged when it's not fulfilling their expectation.

Just one or two games of match fixing still possible, but generalizing the whole league to be match fixed is just weird.

I watched one game i`ve bet. It was one on low leagues in India. The game was between leader and relagating team. But the first half score was 0-1 and the leader played worse than you can even imagine. After half-time the game changed instantly, The game ended 12-1. I`ve seen few such games, when the game looks at least strange until half-time and even was caught in such trick.
There were other ways that looks like fixing games, in different leagues, so later i marked some leagues and teams like "possible fixed matches".

I think that fixed matches are possible, but for example, it’s harder to arrange them in games where a big team is playing than in those involving only one or two people. A lot depends on the prestige of the competition, usually, the more prestigious and important the match is, the less chance there is for any kind of arrangement, at least that’s how it seems to me.

There will be always rumours that several games were rigged. You can easily hear it from disgruntled gamblers who lost their bets. Without evidence, these claims are mere grapevine information that should be disregarded.

The problem is that these match fixing fraud is very difficult to be exposed since they are done carefully and secretly. These fraud would have been going on for years before it would be detected and exposed. It took law enforcement agencies years of investigation to confirm that some games have been fixed in some major sports leagues.

I think people assume that games are fixed just to deny that fact that their prediction was wrong, the whole thing is hinged on our pride as humans, instead of accepting our loss we try to blame the whole thing on the professional league, calling them 'game fixers' but the truth is fixing games will never be as easy as we make it out to be unless the whole thing is done with the referee is we are talking about a refereed game like football or simple 2 player games because the more people involved in the game then the more chances of predicting how the game will play out and fixing it becomes more difficult to do.

I believe this could bias you in some way if you have read an article online and comprehend it accordingly. Personally, I wouldn't easily believe something I see on the internet, so I'd wait a while to verify it. If it's true, I would never touch it; if it's just a rumor, it will not affect me. I would verify the information before forming any belief.

With what you have stated, it seems like overthinking. I believe those types of cheats are obvious in a way and would conform to some kind of pattern. Or better yet, check your bias first and check the rule book.

Whether foul play or miss short in the football game or gambling their is football fixing or fixed matches this is what they do to decive many youth that believes in football predictions or analysis,this is also the reason why football predictions and gambling reduce because of they fixed matches all the time , though I trace back to know their reasons behind the fixed matches they said is because they lost too much in a certain league,that will give them motivation to fixed a match to gain back money lost.

It would be easier to fix a game in basketball, and it doesn’t even require many people to pull it off, just one referee can already change the entire flow of the game. A ref can easily call fouls that shouldn’t be called or ignore clear ones, and that alone can shift momentum. Bettors usually just end up complaining to themselves since there’s no solid evidence, only suspicion. In the end, it’s up to each bettor whether they believe something shady is going on or not, and that belief alone can influence how they approach their future bets.

Don't you think only the ignorants will see the truth even when evidence is being provided? Of course I can not dispute to that. Once there is said to be a legitimate and verified evidence that the league is cheating of fixed matches, then there should be no point to argue of dispute the fact because, it is the reality.
But where there is just a rumour, we can be skeptic because, you can only believe it when evidence is proof. Rumors are not sufficient as it maybe allegedly.

Sometimes yes but sometimes not. We will be too suspicious that it happens because our analysis suggests that. But we don't know the truth so we don't have to think much about that. We could analyze and place a bet if we thought that was enough to have the prediction.

You need to be careful with the rumors. That thing can trick your analysis and you will be confused. To prevent that, you should not think much about the rumors or speculations online because they may not know the truth. They want to make gamblers confused so they pick the wrong option.

It is better to calm down and continue the analysis. Our decision will not depend on them but we will analyze first before we decide.

Nah, most of these game fixing rumors are mostly I found online especially on the comments live when you're watching livestreams and especially if you're into a team or a player that ain't performing the way you bet with them. It's just us that wouldn't let our expectations get because we're too focus on the bet slip we have.

Sometimes experience exposes every case of possible fraud in the league or match, this is when you have evidence although not proven evidence but based on your assumptions as a gambler or a fan of the tesm that is playing and you following up with the league closely.

But some times those cases of match fixing are just based on speculations and social media influence most people that cry oit for match fixing dont actually have any personal convictions but based of hear says around the media.

Believing that a league is fixing its games usually depends on how close you follow it and how much information you have people who watch every match and analyze every move start noticing patterns that feel suspicious maybe it’s a referee’s strange call a sudden momentum shift or a team making mistakes that look intentional when that happens it’s easy to think something shady is going on especially if you’ve seen similar things before. But most of the time what people call match fixing comes from frustration or speculation not real proof social media makes it worse because once one person posts about a possible fix it spreads fast and soon everyone repeats it like fact without any real evidence the truth is mistakes happen in sports and sometimes players or officials just have bad days but our emotions as fans or bettors make us see patterns that aren’t really there.

There are real cases of match fixing of course but those are rare and usually exposed after long investigations not just from what people see during a game so unless there’s solid proof like leaked messages suspicious bets or official reports it’s better to treat most of these claims carefully. It’s natural to doubt things especially when money is involved but being too paranoid takes away the fun of the game experience and gut feeling might make you suspect something but unless it’s backed by facts it stays just an assumption not evidence.

In addition to rumors, there are also uncovered cases of match-fixing. Well, it is very convenient for those interested parties who participate in rigged matches if the general public and fans consider this to be rumors or a conspiracy theory. However, without direct evidence, we can only doubt and suspect some matches if we notice any oddities. In any case, many opinions are very subjective.

OP, you're right to write that maybe sometimes we can get too paranoid and look for a rigged match where there was just a combination of circumstances. The problem is that it's not easy to distinguish one from the other.

For myself, I decided to bet as if there were no match-fixing (it's calmer that way). In other words, it is possible to perceive match-fixing as if it is also part of chance. Of course, this is not a universal solution, but it's not easy to come up with something better.

Humans sometimes over-think what they read, watch and see so that analysis can be a bad conclusion when irregularities occur, usually easier to recognize from referee decisions that are sometimes controversial, it is easier to recognize than players who deliberately make mistakes or do not work as usual on the field where they play.

Paranoia can reach that point with overreaction and a lot of people don't rely on their minds or analysis to conclude that the match was fixed.

Every claim, accusation should be backed up by evidence, this is the way to go, it is absolutely improper to judge and convict a person (for example) without first seeing the evidence presented to prove that the person committed the crime he's been accused of, and not just seeing the evidence, you have to also have a reliable means of verifying the evidence to ensure it's not doctored, forged or faked.

So as for me, I wont straight away believe that game fixing exists in a certain league without seeing the proof and also verifying that the proof is actually authentic..
Whoever wakes up to come up with such accusations as games or matches being fixed in a league should have their reasons for coming up with such claim, and that reasons can serve as the evidence to prove the case if it's right, else, such claim will simply be dismissed.

it's really easy to see how many of these fixed are arounds. yes, of course, in some cases these are just speculations but as we have seen also here in the section this as involved the vast majority of all sports/leagues.
Of course this could just increase (increase of gambling on line just to mention one reason - widespread betting) .
This is a serious issue well known but there aren't too much solutions actually.

When the same rumor is coming from different groups of people, it actually means that there an atom of truth in that rumor but that's not the case for me, I have read different articles with proof of how some clubs involved in game fixing, that's what makes me have the doubt on the team or even other team because I always have that conscious mind of "what if..?" Because if the remarks from those previous incidents of game fixing.

Any leagues or teams with a bad reputation will affect them, if fans and commentators continue to point out match fixing then there could be some truth to it. Even if it's just rumors there's an extent that sometings can reach you will begin to believe the narrative and if you make your own research you may or may not agree with them. Sometimes when games don't go as planned we will begin to point out to referees decisions and some players attitudes as match fixings but if there is no solid proof there's nothing we can do about it. I sometimes wonder if a game goes in our favor whether we can be quick to point it to match fixing, people normally get emotional if things don't go as they planned.

Before the rumours could be circulating online, if you check deep enough, there could be some truth found in that rumour even if it's not as it was speculated. Once the news is too much, I start to believe it even if evidence has not started emerging. This period of match-fixing can be so coordinated that it will be hard for you watching from the sidelines to even notice it.

Spreading rumors are very easy now because social media is controlling things around us need to click right button on right time I am surely just rumors have never been enough for having any evidence about fixing or things related to this need strong evidence is important.
In last 2 decades I have too much about this with few were good enough but many has never been as spoked because losing money or lost of favorite club or country mostly motivate peoples to talk about this and spread rumors even many players faced punishment about their activities but still need good evidence about this is always important.
In many cases things are openly watchable about match fixing because players performance clearly indicate what is happening and how things are going to work in this respective game.

If there have been proven articles with evidence then online reading is enough to say that there's really game fixing. You don't have to hold all of those evidences with you as long as the one who's made those articles and news have the proof, there's no need to find it on your own. And if we're overanalyzing, that's because we've got a huge passion for the sport and even likely huge bets. It's normal to react with those unjustified calls whenever we're watching, that's the first reaction that we're showing it seems sketchy. And just like the courts are saying, 'innocent until proven guilty' for the game fixers.

I believe it because there’s an evidence for match fixing while players involved are already penalized for this wrongdoing.

Rumors on match mixing becomes widespread after confirmed reports of this event on different sports leagues especially on minor leagues on some country that has no strict regulation on sports.

I don’t believe on match fixing before because it’s very rare to happened with confirmed evidence but now it happens multiple times every year which is very alarming.

Well, everyone and their own perspective in life, some people believe in fixed games while some believe in rumours but whatever thing it is, gamble with what you can afford to lose and remember to also gamble responsibly, because gamble is not what it is and not everyone is meant to gamble, there are some persons that can’t withstand the pressure of gambling essentially when they are losing because they want to chase their losses, even in terms of winning there are some persons that will want to win the more, even when they already had enough. So any one of your choice that you wish to go with, apply self discipline.

I do think that there are several repeated patterns that are just not deniable once you see them. If you watch to lower and kind of unknown leagues and you spot the pattern repeat over several times then that is when put your foot down and call it match fixing however if it is just hearsay then you have to take it with a grain of salt especially when they source you got the information from cannot be verified to its original source.

I only believe it when I see news coming from the government, the courts, the federations, saying they have proof, that they punished person x and y, and that the scheme worked in ways y and x. Now, things that are just rumors, I don't believe them. Honestly, nowadays when a team loses, they always blame the referees, and the fans always blame the referees or claim the game was rigged. That's why the only credible sources I take seriously are: the government, the courts, the police, and the federation.

I don't believe most time although if the games are virtual games then there is high chances of such manipulation to happen, but if the game is real life games, that is different and a bit hard to get manipulated since there are many inspector of the games and how it being played checking them to see if there is any form of manipulation in the process.

Spreading rumours indeed happens very fast now due to social media; that's how getting information across to the right body is also very fast through the same means. Anyone who starts up such a rumour could also get their suspicions, which, if that rumour gets into the hands of the authorities, they can start an investigation which will uncover the real truth if there was actually a rig or if it was a normal game.

The way things are going now and how they have been caught in the past, do you think rigging could still be easy to detect, especially if both teams are successfully convinced to be on the plan? They could make it less suspicious even for the fans who are present on the field watching them.

Funny thing about game fixing is that nobody actually has a proof that it happens but bettors only say this based on the fact that their favourite teams are defeated by the underdogs or when the outcome of a game goes in an unobvious way...There might be fixed matches but who can come out with a proof of this, not just a matter of something that you heard but you have your evidence to show for it

I agree. Overanalyzing soon becomes into something else.

It becomes superstition. You start seeing patterns everywhere even where they are not and this influences you into thinking that you can somehow win, with this new mysterious set of self-created reality.

I do not recommend it.

Major Leagues will not participate in anything that could render their reputation into jeopardy, trust is one of the main reasons why you see people go into sporting activities to bet on them, because they are live matches and viewed all over the world by many people, so they will mostly wanted to have this as a true definition of transparency, either believing it or not, be it rumour or not, I don't think such occurs in most reknown  leagues.

I believe in game fixing, especially when it's only made for entertainment. We see a lot of that in boxing these days. Right?

When it comes to professional sports, I don't believe they can fix a match there. Big leagues, not the small ones. Why? Because it is proven, it may cost them the whole business, or worse, they will end up paying back the people they deceived, and it's not going to be a small amount. Prison could be next too.

But I do believe that players can somehow cheat. They cannot fix the whole game, but they can throw a game, especially if they are the star. Like in the NFL, a quarterback controls the whole offense, and there are cases where players are suspected of doing something stupid.

If I see for myself the possibility of match-fixing, I would believe it. But if the match that takes place is still reasonable, I will not make a big deal out of it, even if I lose a bet. 
We may feel upset about the match results, leading us to blame referees or certain players whom we suspect of being involved in match-fixing. But we have eyes and logical thinking, so we will be able to distinguish whether a match is fixed or if it proceeds normally, even if there are some errors that should be acceptable or that do not change the outcome of the match.

Match fixing is for the big dougs who control the gaming world and that of the sports world. In as much as they try so hard to make every result real, some things don't just sit right with spectators when a certain foul isn't awarded or goals canceled for unfamiliar reasons. They'll have no option than to publicize their anger on media saying the game was rigged or something. However, as it stands, the top bodies who can optimize game to their taste try as much as much possible to keep it a secret.

Some matches do raise questions, but most “fixing” claims online come from emotional fans, not verified sources. Real fixing cases leave traces, odds shifts, betting patterns, or official investigations. Always check data before assuming foul play.

Have you ever spotted odds movement that made you doubt a game’s fairness?

I'll take the example of not an actual game fixing but someone who is part of wanting to manipulate games and that's in the high end types of leagues like the NBA. We know that cheating there per player is hard but there are still those players who are testing the waters of might not getting caught. And by the time that it has come out, it's no longer a rumor online but a real news with basis that these players who have been banned are part of the circle of manipulating games and they're betting on it, so it can be considered as a game fixing even if one player is only involved for trying to hit prop bets.

Game fixing is a serious issue. I will need evidence to form a concrete belief that there is ongoing game fixing in the sports I'm betting on. When betting on a game you love, you have to be comfortable that the game is clean. After all, if there are rumours, then you shouldn't bet because you will blame game fixing as the reason why you lose.

It's the organization's duty to assure fans and bettors that the games are clean and will remain so. There's nothing better than supporting a sport free of manipulation and fixing.

While we may not have a concrete evidence as a backup claims watching some matches and seeing the end result and all that happened during the game fans are always in for a sentiment, we can't deny the fact that humans are sentimental in nature sometimes suspicious act of a fixing game can be obvious in most cases and I don't doubt about the possibilities of anything happening behind the scene of the game. In conclusion, there can be truth about some fixed game while it some times it might not be truth.

Game fixing does happen, but it’s rarer than social media makes it seem. Most leagues have strong integrity units now, and betting data often exposes unusual patterns fast. Still, it’s smart to stay cautious when odds shift oddly before kick-off.

Do you personally trust betting odds as a signal, or rely more on team analysis?

Personally, I wouldn't assume a particular league is fixing their matches, because a league is connected to many parties, including internal parties like organizers, and external parties like federations. So, there will be monitoring them, and even if they do, I think the case will be revealed due to the many discussions about suspicions against them, and those parties will certainly notice. As long as there is no direct investigation, or no strong evidence accompanied by judgment (such as sanctions), then I won't believe it. I will consider it a rumor, or an excuse that has no strong evidence (baseless). Because an investigation will be carried out, if a strong suspicion is found. Cmiiw.

Not always, I guess. Rumors are just rumors, but I do believe game fixing is a very real thing. That being said, I dont think every or even majority of the matches are fixed, maybe some here and a few there. To be honest, as I understand it's already hard enough to fix games! So printing every game as a fixed match is kinda unfair. But we tend to believe social media more than enquiring the facts ourselves, I guess that could be the reason why we are so paranoid sometimes.

I don’t know for a lot of sports because I mostly only follow football. But I have read about a lot of rigging and game fixing in cricket games, baseball and recently the NBA. When I watch a football game and the ref repeatedly makes bad calls against a particular team, I can’t help but think he’s been compromised in some way.  I once saw a video of a red celebrating with a team after the game. You know I never suspect players but refs, in my experience they are the easiest to take a bribe.

Not a rumor anymore, but the hard truth now. In fact, cricket is one of those sports where match fixing or riggings happens the most. not just with the players, but also the umpires so many times. It's a proven thing. I can't recall how many times we have seen them cheating and you can literally see that on the big screen that the decision is being wrong, yet the umpire would say ohh it's not out, or that the ball didn't touch the bat, and so on. One or two bad calls might be acceptable, but on every matches? That's totally rigging for sure!  

The way to believe if the game is fixed is when there's an evidence. Believing something without a good evidence will definitely get you into serious trouble. It is good to get evidence before you believe anything you see or hear. If you read it online, you must find the write source or make more research before you believe. Many have believed in false things and it has lead them into trouble. I have seen few things online that claims some football games are rigged but I haven't actually be in them because I have not seen any evidence.

If i dont see any concrete evidence, i wont believe any league is fixed. Time that i believe games were fixed was when an evidence was bright, for instance the recent NBA college student that started the act of taking action in game so people can bet on him. Those are the type of evidence i am talking about. When there is such evidence i might completely lose interest in betting on those league or avoid some games in that league. The mindset that most game are rigged in other to justify how you feel after the outcome of the bet you make is absurd. But if it is one way to keep your emotion in check, it might now be a bad way. Most people smash things, while some get in problems with people around them because of loosed emotion.

Even if we don't want to believe it, there are always behind-the-scenes games that can happen where there are leagues that might be controlled even if not directly.

There will always be many rumors about this condition but even though not all of these rumors are proven, some of us can certainly realize that there must be rumors that are clearly visible with the facts on the ground.
It's just that maybe what happens for big competitions is a little difficult to control but for smaller commissions even in local leagues something like this is still very possible to happen.

For the bigger leagues there are also definitely rumors last season such as when Inter in Serie A was involved with the underworld it already showed that the situation could be more complicated or some cases for NBA players that often occur with gambling cases or other things that actually show that there is interference from certain parties to regulate the conditions that occur in the running league.

Fact is the only thing that makes us believe that something is as the way some are saying about it because it will be very clear for everybody to see but when there is no fact but mare thinking then there is nothing for someone to believe it is true. Were you will no that people who claims that a match was rigged is when you ask them and they told you there reason because some gamblers will think that since a match started from the beginning and there was a goal on one side while the other team have not scored till 90 minutes and in some extra minutes the side without a goal scored and equalized and they began to think that there is no other way the equal score would have happened if not for a rigged match, that's some person's examination of rigged.

I know for a fact that this is taking place. I mean just read articles how players were caught betting, or how they were relying information about the state of the team to gamblers. There was a large case in 2024 where a Toronto Raptors player plead guilty to fraud. Just google it!

I also know this from experience because a friend of mine used to play pro football and some players in one of the opposing teams were found taking bribes for losing. There were no charges they were just kicked out for this but it was in lower leagues, and the amounts of money they were getting were ridiculous like one guy got $300 to act injured in a match.

Sometimes when someone is too emotional in betting, they blame the matches or leagues for fixing even if they see a slight change. I heard a gambler say that he said that a match was fixed because the team that would normally win that match was going in the opposite direction. But when his team won the match in the end, he did not complain anymore. I think that many times gamblers complain about match fixing when the results do not meet their expectations, which is never appropriate.

It's often said that in every lie there is actually an atom of truth so you don't need to have evidence to believe that match fixing even though it's not that pronounced as it may sound really exist. Match fixing is one thing that has existed for a long time and it's a well planned activity that is done under ground, because it's supposed to be a secret affair that is done with a high level of decency and secrecy so it becomes difficult for anyone to come up with evidence.



Match fixing is one thing that I believe not just because am reading about it or even by watching games but this is one hard truth that we are faced with inflation the world of sport. The good thing is that the governing bodies of every sport is taking steps in making sure that match fixing is flush out of the spot. Strict measures and penalties has been taken by different sport bodies in tackling match fixing.

Seriously, I didn’t believe before that there was anything like fixed matches. But recently, when I heard that some referees and players gamble, it came to my mind that it’s possible there are fixed matches. Because what can make a referee bet on matches that he will also officiate? That means he will not referee fairly, and he may decide to favor the team he staked on. That means the game is already a fixed match, because the outcome will be determined by the referee.With some of the things that happen in football, it always seems like the match is fixed. Even though I know football is full of surprises and anything can happen, the way some things happen just looks so suspicious.

I have been hearing about it, but I don’t know if their is a specific league which it happens. People talk about match fixing, but I haven’t experienced it before, I don’t know maybe what people say is true or false, but anyone caught in events like that are suppose to be properly punished. If a match is fixed, people that decide to do that are just taking advantage of people which is a great offense.

If you are talking about all this top leagues, you going to find things like that so difficult because the league is being monitored, and people know the appropriate punishment for anyone that do things like that, so people are so scared. Events like this do end up spoiling reputation, because any league doing things like that, people will no longer trust them.

This is common to some extent as there are sometimes matches can be fix, although I have not witnessed that before or gamble on a fix match. I'm not saying that they are false, yeah they might be true as most of the times, we may see some few gamblers waiting for some specific games to gamble on. For me in my area it is difficult to see such like that, I might not know if it is happening, but to the best of knowledge I have, it is hard to come across this certain cases of match fixing which might definitely go against what was expected.

I don't know if there's a precise way for us players to detect these kinds of things. If the league and the law already have a hard time investigating these cases, if it's extremely difficult for them even with access to the investigation data, what hope is there for us players? From what I see, in many cases it will just be speculation, or biased information because the team they were supporting lost, or because of a suspicious play that isn't very clear. This debate has always existed in sports, but to what extent is it real and to what extent is it not, and is it simply sensationalism on the part of the press? I'm not sure.

To be frankly speaking no one has ever seen a real evidence that a match results is fixed but from some track record and analysis put together with rumors made us to believe that is match and result fixing, but if I am not lying their is no real evidence but all are mainly assumption and or speculation that may or may not be true.

Yes why people get too deep in every movement that happens on the pitch is because the mind has been forced to believe that there is manipulation going on. And when the mind is feed with such information everything becomes unfair including penalty, free kick, upside and all the rest. Infact everything becomes manipulated in their eyes even when it is not.

I've never played or followed it that closely, but I think sometimes we end up being too suspicious. When something seems strange, it's easy to think there's manipulation, especially with so many rumors on the internet. But it could just be human error, but either way I'm always skeptical, no matter what it is...

I have never personally identified a game to be rigged or suspected a rig expect for a boxing game and not a casino yet perhaps the only evidence I have see it the once on reports and also shared on the forum as game being rigged hence I have not seen not even one on a personal level, but then why suspect when there are agencies to handle that especially when it has to do with big leagues since I’m not really into small leagues, hence I don’t have time to over-analyze.

for me some games do look suspicious like when the calls are too one sided or when a strong team suddenly plays weirdly off form but unless there’s real evidence I try not to jump to conclusions. There’s a lot of talk online and sometimes fans just spread rumors out of frustration still I won’t deny that game fixing can happen especially when there’s big money involved so yeah I stay observant but not paranoid just enjoy the game, analyse what I can and move on.

People are convicte and sanctioned or penalized due to game fixing.  So it is not just a rumor that spreads around the internet, but a crime with evidence.  We can just make a quick search on google about game fixing and people/players involved and we will see lots of information about it


I don't think so, people are being apprehended because of game fixing.  There may be times we overthink but news on the internet about people who were fined, banned from the sports due to game fixing are true.

Does anyone actually have proof that match fixing actually exist or are these rumors that keep on spreading. I'm not saying that this is impossible but from the people I've heard it from they failed to back up their claims with facts. Bettors are quick to say that match was fixed when the result doesn't go according to their prediction, there might be shady games but we can't really prove it.

It is possible there should be a fixed game but I don’t believe there is a fixed match. The reason is that in football, anything is possible to happen based on mistakes. Since mistakes are part of being human, anything can happen.I am saying this because I sometimes play football, and from my experience, it’s not always about someone intentionally performing badly  sometimes it happens due to simple mistakes. From that point, I believe that any match can end in any result.I has seen many people claim that there are fixed matches, but I’ve never seen anyone who played and actually won because of it. Most of those claims are just ways for people to scam others.

I never think like that because even if the game is rigged, I don't know for sure. That can make me lose focus analyzing the match and can't make a decision. I just think that rumors and speculations will be many and I don't need to think much.

You can become paranoid if you think too much about the rigging because you will have many considerations and delay making a decision. If that happens, you should leave your analysis and try to calm down your mind.

You have the choice to continue the analysis or leave the match. So that will not be a problem if you do one of those. That is your choice to bet.

In the highest caste league match, it will be difficult to happen and as you said, we often find mistakes made by the referee in leading the match, but as a human being, of course, it is normal, and I am sure he has worked as hard as possible and knows the sanctions that will be received, for the players, their performance is unstable and can fluctuate from each match and I am sure they also play as hard as possible, so for the match fixing, it is only a negative issue because the game they watch cannot satisfy the team they support.

I think being suspicious is fine, as long as we investigate from there. Making accusations and linking every single thing to match fixing is a bit too far, though. Let's say you suspect a game is rigged. You need to list what oddities happen there. Then, research whether the official has any history of match fixing or suspicious behaviour, then analyze the organizer relationship, and so on.

Hopefully we an make enough noise so that the officials can do investigation, although if we can't trust them then it feels pointless to accuse someone if in the end moving away from the platform is the best option. CMIIW.

The truth of the matter is that those saying that gambling is rigged don't have evidence, they mostly get their news feed from rumors or from the way they feel, some even suspect game to be rigged because of what they expected from the match they played. Some people can be funny to the extent that after making prediction and believing that it must Play and some how the game almost played all but 1 lose and it was not sopos to be so according to how they trust that club, they will be forced to believe that it was rigged. It is just the way of gambler, they are too quick to judge without evidence.

But there's a lot of rigging in smaller leagues. Only the big-name champions from major tournaments make money through contracts and advertising, becoming media personalities. As for the ordinary footballers from small towns and regional centers, they're often willing to make fixed deals if they're paid for it. Of course, the bad news is that they lack confidence, believing it's better to deliberately lose a game than to try to build a career on their skills.

It's not like I got much evidence to prove that is right but then watching some leagues play you'll better be convinced that the game is bent on fixing. You know sometimes even before something becomes rumours and leaks online there must be a path and source to prove it's existence but having yourself watched consecutively different matches would give you the answers you're expecting. So then it may be false but I still think there's a little scene behind these games.

The referee plays a big role in a match. If the referee makes a wrong decision against a team, then the chances of that team losing a big amount increase. Because the players' mentality is destroyed and all the spectators think that the match may have been fixed. However, such incidents are seen almost every day in various news but the general public cannot catch them.

For me, I can boldly say that when it comes to "fix matches", I have only got to believe that it exists through online speculations and rumors in the gambling community. Because when it comes to first hand experience, I will say that I haven't witnessed any to justify the fact that it actually exists. Because I can remember back then in 2019 when I finished my college degree and started gambling full time, with the mindset of getting rich through it, since I thought it was that easy. But only few months later after falling victim to several Sport betting fix match scams on both Facebook and Telegram, I came to realized that fixed matches don't actually exists, and even if it exists, it will always remain a secret to top key individuals handling those leagues.

I don't go on to think that every match is fixed, but it's certain that match fixing certainly exists. In cricket specifically, there has been several match fixing incidents, and confirmed by players themselves who were part of rigging the game.

That I agree with. Whatever league it is, there’s always some fixed games happening.
The problem is we don’t have a copy of the script, so it’s on us to figure out which ones look suspicious.

But as long as we keep that in mind, we’ll be more careful when choosing sides. Fixed games love to crush the public, so for me the basic rule is simple: bet against the public.

I will only choose to believe that there is something called game fixing when there is a tangible evidence to back it up, else there is no need to worry our selves in gambling when things are not going as we have expected of them in gambling, there might be rumors all around about anything, but the truth is that many do lack the evidence to back them up, even if they are found to be true, but no evidence, everything should be disregarded.

Match fixing is not just rumors but real even when I don't have concrete evidence as regular sports gambler who watches physical game and some mistake in the game either by referee , some goals cancellation, refusal to blow when necessary and some award of penalty in some game to meeting the fixing target most show clear evidence of fixed match or game.

Most talented gambler who don't only bet or predict without deep analysis but depends on some documents to compare and contrast can vividly tell some game that will spear fixed though for ordinary gambler may see it as speculation but most time turned out the way them predicted it, as the results will be of mo difference.

I've heard that it's very easy to fake actions in esports. After all, if one player on a team delays for 0.1 seconds, acting ineffectively, they'll lose a frag and the entire game can be decided. But in reality, seasoned players and spectators in esports understand perfectly well that such an action will be immediately visible. There have been such stories before, where players intentionally succumbed to manipulation, and the community immediately exposed them. And you know, after watching hundreds of matches across various leagues, I've yet to see anyone succumb to it, at least not obviously.

Yes there are leagues that fix there matches I can tell you for sure check out the NPL(NIGERIA PREMIER LEAGUE) you will understand what I'm saying I have friends who officiate matches at the level and they will sometimes send in the tickets to what the outcome of the match will be and guess what it will turn out exactly like that without a second review at all so there are leagues that actually fix matches all over you just have to know where those leagues are. In NPL home teams mostly takes the 3points in rare cases the away wins if not the highest they play is draw.

I believe that game fixing is happening in some sports all the time. In most cases, online betting syndicates, match manipulation, referees, players are involved. This game fixing is done in such a subtle way that no one can easily understand it. Many times, there are bad decisions at the last moment of the game or bad performances by the players that are beyond the imagination of the audience, then it is understood that fixing has taken place here.

However, some mistakes can also be made during the match and that can lead to very poor performance of the tough team, the poor performance must not have been caused by fixing but was just some bad circumstances that lead to it, in such case some bettors would think it was a fixed game meanwhile it was not. Because of the too much news of game fixing, it has made people to become extremely conscious and thinking that some games are fixed while it was not.

If something shady is happening behind the curtains, we most probably won't be able to know it, so why overthink about it?

I believe in fixed games when I see news of evidences or reports that lead to trial. The rest of the time I'm aware that, like in any other aspects in life, there may be something hidden, but I just assume it and don't overthink about it.

There's a saying When there's smoke, there's fire, In sports betting, this is not good. They should address this and clear the betting public's doubts; bettors should have 100% confidence in the sports they bet on. Loss of trust means lower revenues and a lack of sponsorship

You're just making things hard for yourself if you have this mindset. If there is no hard evidence, then these are all speculation. Maybe some losers are bringing this up to sow confusion. Trust the organization and the sports you are betting on. If you still think there is game fixing, then don't bet until everything clears up.

A lot of things can be arranged in a league, and it's not just about soccer, all kinds of matches can be manipulated to suit them, sometimes it's a question of why the last seconds can be so crazy.

Despite all that I believe in match fixing, but it's more likely for small leagues, with low value, but big leagues with a high reputation, and the teams playing are big teams will be very difficult to work with people who want to fix their matches.

Then what can we do? report it? even if there is evidence, we just need to avoid teams that do that in the future.

I have to know if there is solid proof of fixing; some sore losers can come out with stories of game fixing because the game didn't turn out in their favor.
Game fixing is a serious crime in the sports industry; it undermines the integrity of the sport, and the entire industry is fighting to eliminate it because they know that rumors of game fixing will cost them the patronage of their followers and the betting public. As a sports bettor, you have to differentiate between rumours and evidence; you don't listen to losers rant when they've lost their bets.

I can't investigate any verify anything by self and also I am very well aware that anything we see online can be just another rumour. So I will stick to the official report because no game associate wants to lose their credibility and they will always try to come up with the real truth. So if match fixing happened, then it is likely to be investigated and reported to the people which will take time.

And if people started to question a whole league then it can't be popular, so not much to lose or gain for the viewers and the sports bettors here.

You know when I see people claiming that they have fixed game I usually ask myself that how is that even possible to be 100% sure in event that is yet to kick off? Because most of these folks can even bet their life just to convince you to agree with them without a solid proof. To me I don't even believe if there is anything like fixed game, those things they are saying there are all rumours or maybe trying to get people to purchase their game, because I noticed that some people pretend to be giving out fixed game meanwhile their mission is just to scam people.

If you know they don't have capabilities to do it and league is more bigger than his imagine then that person is just telling a lie.

Maybe he just said he can do those things since he's just going after with your funds and try to scam you. So if someone claim that and they don't have wide connection and just selling tickets or asking funds to ride their bets better stay away to them and better bet according to what you know on the sports your are trying to spend your money.

They are all scammers and just want to deceive people, so we better out of their scope and be a smart sports bettor.

Nah, there were multiple instances where game fixing was so obvious to the point that almost all players participated in the scheme.

I remember there was a time where a game of basketball in the Philippines was alleged to be fixing their games. When I watched the video, you can obviously tell that the players were intentionally missing layups, open shots, and even passing.
They committed series of errors (e.g. traveling, double, etc.) to the point that it wasn't obvious at all. Even the MCs commentating the game were confused as to what is happening and be reminded that the players are not even beginners- they are professional basketball players on their league.

If you want to see the video, I will post it below so that you can clearly see the scheme of game-fixing. It's not just about rumors but hard evidence leading to this instance.

There is a long debate about this and many can't move on with the losses they make. While I believe in smaller leagues that game fixing is rampant and especially if it's listed in the bookies, they won't make it look as an obvious thing. But one mistake from the participants and they're going to be busted. So, as long as there's no concrete evidence with that, it's hard to prove and testify about it. Otherwise, the online world is so vast that it can make a noise if someone exposes that there's an ongoing game fixing.

It is important that there are always active and independent investigations in all sports, as betting can manipulate results, so active investigation is always important to maintain credibility.

There is, but only if there’s an actual complaint. Sadly, pure speculation can’t lead to any conviction because there’s no solid evidence, so it is what it is. Gambling is fun, but you always keep in mind that a bit of rigging can exist, and if you’re betting, you never remove that possibility when you analyze a game.

I think it’s mostly the newbies who complain about this stuff. The seasoned gamblers already know it happens, and honestly some of them probably even benefit from it even without having any “script” in their hands.

I believe that some games are indeed arranged in such a way to take advantage of bettors, my personal opinion says so because in several matches there will definitely be 1 match where the result is very unreasonable, such as against a small club that is far superior compared to the opponent's big club.

Every game has a changer whose presence could alter the expected effect of a match. Match fixing is dip to analyze, the complexity was formed by the hands of top insiders in the technical games we watch and complain about getting fixed. Benching a key player in a game that ended up draw or lose, ignites the questions that leads to the suspicions of spectators. But the actual aim would have been to save the player for another game and the fixing may not have came through that way. In a nutshell, viewers and gamers fail or may never be able to finalize or know how or when the match fixing happened.

Yes, and we experienced that when Messi's Barcelona were in the second division. It was astonishing how the referees favored Barcelona, ​​and everyone said no, that it tarnished the sport. Now they want to do the same, not with Barcelona but with other teams. It's been seen in La Ligathat's why Real Madrid raised their voice last season, because the blatant corruption was very obvious.
