Can You See Or Tell If A Fight Or Event Is Fix ?

[Despairo]

I wouldn't think a fight or event is fixed if it's a big match against two strong fighter/club that really want to become a champion. I mostly watch a football match and I don't think it's a fixed match because it doesn't make sense if he want to lose for money, AFAIK they already got a huge paycheck and full of endorsement. It's will different with boxing, mma and such similar sports, they fix the match by cherry pick a weak fighter.

It could be on basketball, boxing or horse racing, or any kind of sport, after being in a particular sport for many years can you see or tell if a fight or event is fixed, there are upsets but in the back of our mind, there's a possibility that the match or game is fixed.

There is indeed a possibility that any match or game is fixed. Just because the tiny unrealistic possibility exists does not merit any realistic concern of having it fixed. I mean, everyone wants to know if a match is fixed. But who is going to tell anyone the truth? And furthermore it's a huge risk to take, the larger the match is.

Now some tiny, underground shady match might definitely be fixed. But you should be able to listen to your gut..

I can't tell but what I am quite sure of is that the more important the competition and the teams, the more unlikely it is that someone will let himself be sold. An NBA match between the Heats and the Celtics is very unlikely to be fixed. The Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool the same. Now, a match between two Italian Serie B soccer teams is not so unlikely.

I am a cricket enthusiastic so can say about cricket, yes if you know cricket then you can tell easily that a match is fixed or not. For instance, the Recent Indian Premier League 2022 was completely fixed. I am not the one who is saying this alone in fact majority of people who understand cricket can easily say that after seeing the outcome of matches.

There are these sort of fixing in most of the games where they see lot of bets would be there say for million of dollars so the outcome of these matches is totally the opposite of what it might seems to you.We can feel it to some extent that they are losing intentionally or not if you are associated with the particular game from long but can't do anything about it but still think there should be fair play.

I consider a fixed match when I see the boxer show poor performance while he have fought many good boxers before. It doesn't make sense how the boxer almost didn't doing anything and only run away like worried to get punched, it's a boring and for sure he will lose. Do you think a boxer that fight in the ring doesn't want to win? What does his purpose then? for money behind the agreement.

I think I have read it here also in the forum since someone mentioned it about mafia thing which in boxing, if the referee is wearing an ear piece,  he could be listening to instructions from the mafia guys. And when we say mafia guys, it includes the promotion and their boxing trainers.

I can't be too sure for this but there were sports match fixers talking about it in youtube. The possibility that its them conspiring each other and its  a matter of team work too. No thugs among them.

I usually watch cricket and in that sport sometimes we can judge that the match is fixed if the strong team is behaving abnormally and showing bad performances. I understand that any good team can loss on any given day but the body language of the players sometimes tell you that the players are losing the match as if they have fixed it. Still no one can be 100% sure if the match was fixed or not.

I don't think about whether the match or fight is fixed or going on normally because all I want is to bet and watch the game. Maybe it could be that the game is fixed by people who want their team or players to win but I don't think about it. If you keep thinking about the fixed match, you will not enjoy the game and will only think about it. We will never know for sure because the people who set the match will hide it from the public.

I mostly watch and bet on popular events and even when they make the weirdest mistakes that could quickly shift the momentum of the game it's still difficult to tell at a glance unless there are other ways to confirm it's fixed so I have to say no. Also from what i've seen these cases tend to happen in the lower leagues which I usually avoid as I don't want to get involved in those leagues as a sports bettor. Even in esports I remember some of the casters mentioned that fixing frequently happens on certain regions but it's tough to catch them since there's no evidence to back them up.

I can only suspect, but cannot conclude right away that the match or game is fixed. It is actually hard. But it is easy to spot questionable moves or decisions. But these moves or decisions could actually be due to a lot of factors like pressure, strategy, injury, panic, and many others.

The latest fixed games that I remember watching was a regional basketball game and a Southeast Asia DOTA match. The very bad moves were so obviously intentional that you could really suspect something fishy could be going on behind them. But even so, there were still formal investigations launched, which officially declared the matches rigged. Punishments were then imposed.

We always question when a team or a athlete performance suddenly turns into bad and we always think that maybe it was fixed and it was deliberate. But then it is just our own conclusions and we don't know if it is true or not unless the organizations confirmed what we have suspected in the beginning. But I would say that many has been caught including a referee in a professional league, - NBA because he was addicted to sports betting.

Hard to tell and most probably, they will not show it to the public since it can ruin their reputation. Maybe in Boxing you can tell if the match is fixed or not especially with those retired boxer and then suddenly came back with a match against Youtuber, that's an obvious fixed matches for me and you should already know where to place your bet.
I just wonder if all the players in team sports are in favor to this kind of fixed game or matches because it can also happen to Basketball or even on a football, there must be a huge price for this so they can accept the offer under the table. Everything is possible nowadays as long as you have the money to pay for it, you can imagine big things here.

This is very difficult to identify by just watching the event but there have been cases in which there have been very high suspicions that something was going during the match.

One of the most obvious examples of this was during the 1978 World Cup which took place at Argentina, Argentina needed to beat Peru by at least 4 goals if they wanted to reach the final of the tournament, at that time the format was different than the current format, and they won 6-0, even at the time there were very strong accusations against Argentina that the match was fixed and quite honestly I think the accusations are legitimate, however this is an exception since it is almost impossible to tell if a match has been fixed or not without an ongoing investigation from the authorities.

Fixed matches or rigged ones do really exist but this is something that you can tell on point because one thing you do have in mind is about coincidences and also if you do know or have hunches that
is is fixed then what you would gonna do? Fixed matches do played on a very non obvious manner or something that not fans could able to see it obviously which means that identifying
that its rigged then its really a hard thing to be done but with basing with our personal opinions specially if our team is losing then this is a common behavior.
Upsets do happen on any game or any sports that we do have.

It depends. You can also have events and competitions that have been manipulated on a small scale, fixed bets have also come into the picture but won't stand out because the volume of bets is low. If you end up in higher divisions, it is not surprising if a lot of money is bet. Then it will also be less noticeable if people bet a lot of money. And what is also essential is the type of market. Taking a yellow card can be paid a lot for it, and can be hard to prove because anyone can get it.

You cant tell or able to say that its fixed because if they are really doing it then it would be on non or almost non noticeable and just been said
above that once they get caught they their reputation would be fucked up and they do know on whats on stake if they are really planning to
have a rigged game.Therefore, spotting out on point is something almost impossible until the end of the game.You might really feel that there's
something wrong or felt off but we know that every game does have those possibilities of sudden u-turn of events.

No one can say that we can definitely understand. What cannot be proven cannot be said to be true. However, I think that there are match-fixing competitions in every sport. Of course, this cannot be the case in the Champions League final or the NBA final. However, apart from the lower league competitions of the countries, match-fixing can occur in the champions league and group matches.

I sometimes observe it too and can't help but feeling upset because the game turns to be so odd to watch. Not just in sports but i also think that even in lottery too, the results are already fixed. Although they always tell the viewers that the numbers are randomly picked but it seems to me those numbers are already predicted. That is why most of the jackpot winners came from the main region or in which the main branch is built. Just my own thought.

Mostly you can notice the match is fixed if the player is intentionally not doing its role like in basketball they miss the shot or even scoring baskets, football’s striker fails to score and so on. Other way to check it that some of players are deliberately playing bad by getting low in their playing stats which is often seen only in slumps or slump periods!!!   in the domestic league Match-fixing is basically a game plan that the players, coaches, referees and sometimes managers prepared in order to win or lose a game or even part of the game.
