What have your experiences about this been? Is match fixing considered a common occurrence in leagues you place bets at?

No experience so far or at least not to my knowledge. I also prefer betting on top leagues like most members. I have heard of match fixing accusations from local sport leagues but it's usually the accuser's words against the accused. No real evidence to support it so I cannot really call the game as rigged. There are bettors that are just sore losers so can't take them seriously.

If you watch the news, maybe you have heard that there are several matches where match fixing is suspected, this also happens in several other European small leagues or even in Asia, there are several former football players in my country and he is telling the truth about match fixing and he one of the players who was bribed with money by football officials at that time to play badly and lose in a final match.

I used to think like you that it couldn't possibly happen and thought people were accusing of match fixing but after seeing statements from former football players who had been involved I thought that it seemed like not only in my country but the football mafia would always be out there playing. in minor league leagues to manipulate bets also in gambling and more.

I know and of course I believe in things like this because in some countries with not too much competition there can be cases of bribery or match fixing that are motivated by officials or certain people with the sole aim of gaining personal gain.
Usually it is betting, many unexpected things happen because of the actions of people who have enormous wealth who bet and they are willing to spend certain amount of money to make bribes and be able to win their bets.
In Asian football, there have been many similar cases, but what always happens more often is referees who are unfair because they side with one team.
A football match that experiences something like this will be very disadvantaged and of course it will give rise to bad thoughts or conversations among football fans, they will say that football has become place of capitalism and is really unclean.

I said something similar to several football fans in the past but they didn't believe it because they thought every team wanted to win and every team wanted to win the title.
But I think otherwise because money is very valuable and money can change everything from manipulation to bribes that are carried out to favor one party.
And we will find similar cases more often in small leagues or competitions in each country.
