You do know there are things like fixed games?
Those fixed games no way ordinary people can find out so I never bet on any of the games more than I can afford to lose.
Gambling is used it only for fun purpose because of all these issues and doesn't want to bet huge money even though I'm very sure about the winning team. But I'm still in a profit side from my cricket betting and I know in cricket also a lot of matches are fixed.
That's how good the mafia inside sports betting, they control the scenario without any trace, even the we think that the teams or players that we choose is really greater than their opponents, they loses all the way as how mafia /fixed gamer influenced them, but on the other hand regarding to this cheat, inside sports betting you can monitor and you have still chance to win if you are lucky betting with a normal game without the interfere of fixed gamer.
