An obvious rigging of Sports.

[stomachgrowls]

A professional basketball league called VisMin cup in the Philippines had a very controversial match last night as both team shows unusual and weird game in the professional sports scene ever.

Here's a video clip from this match up.

Looks like someone spiked the athletes drinking water with something that would make them uncoordinated and not be recommended to operate heavy machinery for awhile. Moreso than a rigged game.

There are professional sumo wrestlers who admit to rigging matches. NBA referees have been investigated and prosecuted for trying to influence and rig games in one direction or another. I think everyone knows GGG defeated Canelo Alvarez in boxing twice, no matter what judges said about it.

There is a long, illustrious and documented history of corruption in sports. Its a topic that is discouraged and not reported on much. But it does exist.

Its impossible for it not to be reported specially if such event do came from a big league or organization which would really be giving out that impression that might affect it as a whole
which is one of the effects on dragging up the sport because of those rigging scenario.

Thanks for sharing up @Oasisman and its true that corruption in sports does exist whenever big money is involved behind the curtains.

Sanctions and big penalties should really be charged on so that this would take a lesson for them.Total ban will surely make them regret..

Btw, this whole VisMin cup has been temporarily suspended as the investigation was still going on. Some says the other team (the low scoring team) has been banned, while the other team had several of their players suspended and fined.

This is what happen if the rigging is rampant, it become obivous and as a consequences, not only the team are put at risk but the whole league, imagine how much money they loss because of this suspension. I guess there should be a bigger punishment for those who are found guilty, a ban in any league for life would be suited for them.

@Kelvinid... Thanks for posting it here, it's already relevant to the topic.

and the shame brought about this incident will tarnish their reputation in basketball. that's too bad, the money involved might not even cover their losses. if you are rigging a game like this, it will really be obvious as people's eyes are on you on this game. and if you are familiar with the players, you know if there is really something wrong.
wonder if they still have a future on this sports. this will not be forgotten for long time. and it will be attached to their name as they move forward in this sports. they made it too obvious for people to see this kind of cheating..

Very obvious that they try to manipulate the result of the game. They will I guess be great players but they aren’t really that good at faking or manipulating. It is very obvious when you watch the youtube video, you can see how these stupid players think that they can manipulate the result of the game that way. Like what the hell was that?

We had to accept that sometimes, manipulation is actually happening especially since money is involved in sports because of sportsbooks and p2p high-end bets. But executing it this way is a ruin.

[MCobian]

I am not surprised that there have been instances of game manipulation being carried out, because they will do anything to get money.
Despite the risk, those involved will receive penalties and fines for committing rigging of sports. Things like this often happen in the world of
sports, especially since the circulation of money in sports gambling is very large. Surely it can make people willing to commit rigging,
especially as a pandemic situation like now affects the finances of sportsmen.

Im sharing this story for everyone who doesn't believe in fixed games in sports.

Personally, i don't think there are still humans that doesn't know that fixed matches do exist even in the past till present. In my country there has been several fixed matches around and nothing was done to offenders in questions the worst that took place was in 2013 which is here: Nigeria suspends football teams over 'scandalous' 79-0 and 67-0 scorelines the suspension was on the papers and not executed.

[robelneo]

Judging from the moves of the players it's intentional this is a league even if it's an amateur game, players will not move like this,
The league is right in their action

VisMin Super Cup wasted no time and officially expelled the Siquijor Mystics from the league and sanctioned several ARQ-Lapu Lapu Heroes players and coaches on Thursday, April 15, one day after their controversial game.

.

Even the coaches are at fault here, they should not allow this kind of moves on their players, players and coaches who are involved should be ban for life or face hefty penalties they are the people who will ruin the league

Take note, that is a professional basketball game, and they were playing like a grade schooler. The other team had shot 0/10 ft.

I watched the game and I'm disappointed they are no only taking it seriously but they are making it appear that the game is fixed, it's obviously fixed and they should impose a stiff penalty they are making their league which gives them a livelihood a big laughing stock, even amateur players can play better basketball.

[Maasdamer]

Same in turkish basketball league right now.

Galatasaray vs Bursa, ultra rigged.

Pregame in morning odds went from 2,8 on Bursa down to 2.2, afternoon suddenly back up to 3.3 for Bursa (no player out or whatever).
Gala has nothing to play for, cant reach playoffs, cant go down. Bursa must win to keep a chance for playoffs.

Bursa leading by 17 in the 1st quarter and by 13 after 2min in the 3rd and the odds were still 50/50. Then comes a 38:9 run for Gala over 11 minutes of game time.

Whole game Galatasaray has made 27/33 free throws, Bursa has 2/2 .

33 : 2 free throws, in a game with super strange odds moves and runs.

Yeah right.

OMG, this is very shameful!!!

This certainly exists in several games and in the most varied sports.
Sports games have long since ceased to use for entertainment to becoming a profitable business.

Worst of all is the difficulty in finding evidence that identifies this and thus punishing players and teams.

[iv4n]

What a comedy show this video is! This video is hilarious, I laughed like insane!

I think these guys (players, coaches, the entire clubs) should be banned from playing ever again! This is an obvious example of how stupid some people can be, and of course, they are on YouTube now! The world is laughing!

Nothing new in the world of sports... games got rigged all the time, but some of "the tries" are simply retarded! Whatever punishment they get will not be enough probably!

[Kakmakr]

It is sick that so many professional players are willing to throw games and cheat these days. There should be a life time ban on players, when they find them guilty of rigging sport. I used to enjoy Cricket ..until it came to light how many of the games are being rigged and now I do not watch the game anymore.

Also, when there are boxing or UFC, you will notice how many of these fights end up with the win for each fighter... so that a 3rd decider could be fought. (It is now so predictable, it aint funny anymore) 

[just_Alice]

Yeah, that definitely looks rigged. I felt uncomfortable just watching that, seriously, this is just embarrassing. And it's not just the way they're playing, but the expressions on the faces! When there's a real game you can see fear, excitement, disappointment, etc. Right here it can be seen that they clearly knew what was the outcome going to be. Sports players make so much money, why are they doing that to their fans? And risking careers?
Sometimes I think that these sportsmen are just pinned down to facts that they should play the game as planned and get threats, because I see no logical reason for this. How greedy can you be?

[iTradeChips]

Maybe these kinds of riggings are so well hidden that I myself refused to believe that until now. It is disrespectful of the whole scene of Philippine Basketball right now that these kinds of people are obviously not playing well and got very obvious in their dealings that the whole internet was able to notice it. Anyway if there are things that we need to bother right now, this will be the least of our worries but this game tarnishes everything Philippine basketball has gained for the past century since the sport was introduced in the American era.

Welp, someone is controlling them I suspect or it's their own choices why they have to do it because nowadays it's hard to earn money especially with this pandemic. But these players are gambling their career over a single win money that would cause them a lifetime punishment.

Also these promoters seem to be playing the people who loves to bet with their favorite player/team that's why they need to make more upcoming fight so that people who loves to bet would still have a chance to win and of course, we know what they are after why they were doing this because the more people involved the more money would come to them. It's somehow a dirty kind of business IMO.

First I respect the referee for stopping the game after the first half but no matter the reason behind the obvious rigging of the basket ball game both the team involved and their officials absolutely disrespected the game of basket ball, they should be penalized and the big fish behind it.

[Stedsm]

I don't say that I don't believe in fixed games, but the type of fixed games I'm talking about, never looked like they were fixed. But this one literally looked like it was fixed and both teams' players were looking like they were playing for one team only. That was seriously ridiculous and I too respect the referee on stopping the game after the first half to keep the dignity of the game intact.

[Twentyonepaylots]

The behavior of the players are more than enough evidence to confirm that this is indeed a fixed game, there's no way a pro basketball player commits mistakes like that consistently throughout the game, and just how lame and limpy these players look, as if their enthusiasm for the game has died out all of a sudden, it's very much a fixed game, an obvious one at that, and I'm glad the committee handling this match called it off early, hopefully each team receives sanctions and penalties for such violation because this is a blatant disrespect to Basketball.

[magneto]

Match fixing is something that is probably a lot more rife than people expect.

Especially in leagues where the players are poorly paid and the league is poorly regulated, match fixing can be the bulk of a player's overall income. There were numerous fixing scandals involving international cricketers in the subcontinent as well as South Africa.

Though, you don't want to bet on an event thinking that you know the rigged result. Without information, the outcome is still virtually random to you. And if you do have the information, then the sportsbook may refuse to pay you out.

With those kind of shots and movement then i would rather watch an elementary or high school game rather than on seeing this one.Im really annoyed on how those
player moves and even a single lay up which is utterly bullshit in form and with those blocks and trying to be blind on not making any defense even if the opponent
is on the front and just letting them pass by.

This is a shameful situation on rigging up the game and does give out some stain in the reputation on the entire league.They should be fined or sanctioned.

Im sharing this story for everyone who doesn't believe in fixed games in sports.

This is the first time I've seen this kind of game, players do not care on defense and on making a point, it's obviously rigged and they do not even know how to rig a game, look on how they play they making a fool of everyone and even themselves, they think they can get away on something that is pretty obvious, if I am a league commissioner or a team manager I would not even think of hiring these players.
