Lucas paqueta just got charged by the FA for allegedly bridging betting rules. According to report, it's believed that he intentionally took yellow cards in some key matches just so some gamblers can profit from there betting.

I know wrestling and boxing are the popular sports where fixed matches is dominant but has this gotten to football we're players can intentionally foul an opponents just to be penalized with a yellow card? If this is true,  what's now the faith of proper sports? If players can't take out there personal interest out of sports and just do thier part which gives gamblers a neutral ground to thread on, then we've got a lot of problems in the sector.

Paqueta is making so much money, he doesn't need these type of things to make more, he is already rich. I still think that there is something else going on there, maybe something regarding mafia or something?

I mean I still do not completely understand how footballers are not threatened by mafia all the time, must be something that is a little bit easier to do for mobster because they can just say "get a red card this game or we will shoot you" and the player could feel scared and do it, even if they don't, and mafia does, then we could probably see the players do whatever mob says next time. Sure that's a big deal and cops would be all around, but you just send a croonie who will shut up, and mafia still goes on easily.

I don't see any reason to blame this Paqueta case on mafia so long as he hasn't say that Mafia made him do something like that. It's laughable to even think about that. Sometimes people do things not just because they don't have money, it could be addiction to betting. Besides I haven't seen anyone who said I have gotten enough money and I don't need more money. Paqueta case could be gambling addiction. Someone as famous and rich as he is can't easily be threatened to do something that break the rules of the beautiful game. Just imagine someone telling you to break the rules of your profession and you kept quiet without reporting to the authorities. I don't believe that Paqueta broke the rules because of threat to life or his family. His is a gambler and an addicted one at that. If he is found guilty he should face the consequences. Let's not look for a way to justify what he did.

We have heard recently with some of them do it, and they usually go with something more sneaky, like not the game result, but "x player will get yellow card" and they go get a yellow card as well, so it is not really that much impactful on the game result itself directly, but it is still shady and definitely illegal.

We have heard these, but at the same time we have heard the consequences, most of these people just lost their job, which is millions of euro in salary, so does it really worth it? What I would wonder is if a mob goes to a player and tell that player to get a yellow card, what would a player do? I mean if the alternative is breaking your legs, then I do not think that player could reject mobs request, how do people handle that?

I don't know what they think, even though if their already have a job with a big salary, they have to play cooperatively and professionally without having to be greedy to get profits due to cheating because that is the same as fooling low level gamblers who try to gamble by analyzing and being careful. but it turns out that the winnings were manipulated because it would be very painful if it was found out by gamblers who were trying to be honest and ended up distrusting gambling.

Well, it can only be said like this: unless they get caught and punishment is being discharged to them and news is being released about the players involved in such activities, that's only when gamblers can be aware when placing a bet in a game that those players are involved in. If those players are not caught, cheating will just be happening under the noses of gamblers, and they will have a failed prediction even in situations where they are supposed to win their bet.

It's possible that he might or not be guilty and I'm in no position to judge but there are possibilities for thigns and corruption like this to be going on in football, you know there is always the temptation to make some extra money and knowing that you are in control, and I've mostly heard of thigns like this going on in lower leagues, has anyone heard about fixed matches?, I've found myself buying some of those and it didn't work but some of my friends say that they are legitimate fixed matches, if so then it confirms that some players or clubs manipulate match results to make money.

It's unfortunate because this is going to ruin the sport if more players start to get involved in such things, taking money to sell their souls and loyalty. I wonder how they can go this far in being unethical and not caring about all the love and support they get from their clubs and their fans and besides all this, they are paid pretty well, so I don't see any reason for why a player playing in such a big league on a global stage should do something like that for money.

It would be understandable if a player from a lower league and division does it because they might not be getting enough money and they want to make more money, but being at this level and still going this low only to get more money is something condemnable for sure.

some players just accept the request from the bettors because it is a fairly easy request, and think that they can get away with it. they are too careless by thinking that they can keep playing in the league and at the same time accept the request from the bettors, maybe they think they can get 2 incomes at once. they are too trivial to think that the big leagues do not have ears everywhere and good monitoring of the players who play in the league, what these players do is monitored and they cannot assume that they can get away with what they do. the big leagues have an image and they do not want it to be damaged because their players are involved in arrangements like this.

Players fulfilling bettors request? This is new for me because typically players that involved in match fixing are those who made bet by themselves and not by collaborating with other bettors since he will not be caught if he is not using his own account.

Also the chance of players colluding with bettors is very low because it means that he is risking his career by sharing this sensitive information with bettors.

Match fixing is not new but typically it just involves players and inner circle management and not bettors outside the team that might exposed their plan.

It is very surprising to find out that footballers who play in the most popular leagues do such lowly things like this. To be honest, I don't know what his motivation was, but I think he did the stupidest thing in his life. Lucas Paqueta will receive a lifetime ban from playing if found guilty, he is considered to have intentionally received a yellow card when the team he played for played against Leicester City, Aston Villa, Leeds United and Bournemouth. Paqueta's career is in danger of ending soon because the FA indictment documents include a recommendation for a life sentence for him.

Talking about the Lucas case, this news has become a hot topic of conversation in sports betting, many negative comments have been made by professional gamblers regarding Lucas' actions.

Case that happened to football player Lucas.

FA has carried out an investigation into the Lucas Paqueta case. On Thursday (23/5), the FA announced Paqueta's case. The Brazilian player violated the regulations of articles FA F2 and FA F3. The two articles are related to gambling.

Two seasons defending West Ham, Paqueta received 15 yellow cards in the Premier League. Well, four of the 10 yellow cards received by Paqueta were considered intentional and related to gambling.

The four yellow cards were received in matches against Leicester City (2022), Aston Villa (2023), Leeds United (2023); and AFC Bournemouth (2023).

FA has accessed Paqueta's phone as part of the investigation. In the future, it is believed that the FA is preparing severe sanctions against Paqueta. As in the case of Kynan Isaac from Reading, Paqueta faces a 10 year sanction.

Indeed, the world of football is the biggest gambling arena in the world. I have read about cases like this, but it was done by the referee or the club to win the bet, but Lucas' actions, in my opinion, he was very brave to act, because he did it himself, this could really destroy his own career, if it is proven that he did all this to win gambling, this is clearly a serious violation for anyone who really acts ridiculously in the football/field arena.

Yes, alligatoin does exist in the world of sports, it has been around for a long time.

I know wrestling and boxing are the popular sports where fixed matches is dominant but has this gotten to football we're players can intentionally foul an opponents just to be penalized with a yellow card? If this is true,  what's now the faith of proper sports? If players can't take out there personal interest out of sports and just do thier part which gives gamblers a neutral ground to thread on, then we've got a lot of problems in the sector.

What's your view on this, is it possible that such alligatoin might be true?

Off cause it can be true if matches can be bought with money then what is foul that one can not commit just for someone to hit jackpot and they always have a deal after the match and everything worked out you will give me my own share and i think the reason why they find out or they accused him of this was because from his records in football such thing hasn't happened before just imagined Messi started biting in the pitch mean while he doesn't use to do it from his records definitely they are going to suspect him and figure out the reason why and anything two person did is not a secret.

Before F.A charges a player for match fixing related charges it means that one way or the other that particular player is guilty because you can't tell me that a player will continue making same mistakes of getting a yellow card unintentionally and before you see the football F.A charge a player means they have ran series of investigation about such situations and it keeps reoccurring, it is bad that corruption have now entered into football such that some players, coaches and referees are no longer disciplined to play according to the rules of the game.

I think that fraud appeared when money appeared or even earlier. The sport can never be completely protected from fraud.
Yes, I believe that some players can use such actions to make money, but the cost of a mistake is very high. If it is proven that a player is involved in such things, then most likely he will be suspended from participating in matches or banned from playing altogether for some time or forever. I don't think it's worth it.

I understand that it is easier to fix some of the sports you mention but it will surprise you to know that fixed matches in football is alarming and highly confidential. There have been many reports of match fixing in various leagues including the famous English Premiership and Spanish La Liga.

Unfortunately, fraud will always happen and the one described in this post is easy to implement by a striker that is sure he will score a goal. By the rules, any player that pull off his shirt in celebration of a goal will receive a yellow card, so the attacker just need to score a goal and pull off his shirt to pick the yellow card and no one will suspect it was all part of a deal he has with people.

I have not seen the option that a particular will receive a card in any sportsbook, it should be because I was not been looking for it.

I saw that in small leagues only where it is very common and less risky, it is hard to catch these players or fighters when they intentionally act in a away they make their friends or betters win lots of money from sportsbooks. unfortunately, if this thing is coming out to most known and popular league such as Premier League, I must say that rules against such act should be very strict, anyone that attempts such a manipulation against the casino and harming the term of football or sport where they meant to be fair for everyone.

If this news is true and what happened in these situations were planned for, I think there are already more players doing this trick even to gamble themselves using their relatives accounts for betting. I also think the best thing to do now from all football federations to keep an eye on such situations, giving lifetime ban from football, that’s how these players wouldn’t even think about doing it and losing their careers.
