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?

Yes, they are real.

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.

This is very common, and it is in fact incredibly simple how this is done, for example if the scammer has access to a list of emails that are interested in gambling they can send half of that list a result of a match and they send the other half the opposite result, they do this for several games, at the end there is a small subset of people that have received all the winners and that is when they ask you money as the recipient of that email believes the scammer is for real when he is in fact only playing a numbers game.
