I was with a friend today who was in a hurry to place his bet on some numbers that were sent to him for some football matches that he believes are fixed. I'm a bit confused how fixed matches work.
Are fixed matches real? Do the coach and players of teams were matches have been fixed, do they consent to it? If you were in a team were your next fixture has been fixed, what will be your reaction?
Match fixing is illegal and run by criminals who are probably former players or player agents. And their modus operandi is mostly bet- related. These folks who do are mostly aiming to make financial gains as they consider it a high-profit and low risk. The long and short is that it is a crime in most countries that could make the offender be sent to jail.
