But are you able to captalise on any fixed matches? I highly doubt it.

There are a ton of scammers who fake having fixed matches information but at the end of the day what they're trying to do is just get you to pay them a share of any profits you make. They do this until you lose - in which case, of course, they just stop contacting you.

I've personally seen these scams happen in the past and it's all a game of numbers. The more people they reach out to, the more likely someone is going to win and think that the matches are actually fixed.

There's no way a "real person" who claimed to have inside information about the fixed match will offer it to a random community just like here in the forum.

Any form of such offer is considered a scam. I actually not alarmed on that but rather think, are there really people who will fall on that crap?

As difficult as you think it is to believe people fall into that kind of scam all the time, just recently I remember there was a thread offering something like that and while the majority of the people were smart enough to recognize it was a scam the alleged scammer claimed that in fact someone had agreed to make business with him.

Now it is possible he was lying to cover himself and make his offer appear more legitimate, but I will not be surprised at all if that was actually true.

the classical scam where somebody is selling illusions preying for those who want to buy illusions instead of looking clearly at reality
rationality helps a lot in these cases

One of the most common reason on why people do still fall for this kind of scam or illusion that you do say is that they do tend to believe
that easy bets do exist or some sort of exploit or leakage which do actually exist but scammers or fraudsters do make use it as for them to be able to scam people but if you do just realize on how things works then you could really avoid and just simply stick with your own decisions and jurisdictions on things and not relying with these lies.

This is why people keep getting scammed, they want to believe that there is an easy way for them to make money in the markets and they are not willing to believe otherwise, even when the majority of the community keeps telling them that what they are looking for is impossible and that gambling should only be done for entertainment purposes they keep insisting there is a way to profit from those games.

And eventually when their capital is reduced to zero they realize how wrong they were and how the community was trying to protect them from this outcome, but unfortunately this realization comes too late for those greedy and naive gamblers.
