Match fixing is big element in sports betting. Ordinary people do not understand who fixed the match and where? He can only try his luck. I dont think that there is any experience required to analyze the game position. A large number of people gamble on two big games, cricket and football. But as it is gambling I strongly condemned sport betting.
Match fixing is something thats done in some more obscure games. However if you gamble on something like real madrid vs liverpool you can be damn sure that both teams are playing for the cup itself. That is why I always love gambling on tournaments because teams always try to win there. World cup, euro cup, nba playoffs, nfl supercup, champions league, euro cup and many more like that where teams try to win with some league games that would affect the leader or regulation. Try to gamble on that type of important games and there will be no match fixing for sure.
Well football tournaments are good to bet on but the huge bets we see are in racing games such as car racing and one of the most traditional and ancient betting style we have is of Horse race. Gamblers bet millions of dollars on horse races and it is present in almost every part of the world. There are websites who facilitates betters to bet and watch live races.
We also cant surely say that any game is fixed or not, match fixers use unique techniques of communications with players which most of the time are indirectly approached by the bookies. As the government punishes both the players and the bookies for match fixing therefore, they both prefer no direct approach.
