Do You Believe Game Fixing Because of Evidence, or Just Rumors Online?

[summonerrk]

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.

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 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.

[Findingnemo]

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.

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.

[Dr.Osh]

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.

[Accardo]

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.

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.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

As a small gambler or a like a newbie I have no evidence on match fixing but there must have a match fixing. And it is not something like rumor the fixing is right and there are too many matches have been fixes. There are a lot of players who got punishment for match fixing. Even several cricketer in our country got the punishment for short time even long time which turned into permanantly.
