how i wish that these kind of people will be put behind the bars so they will never victimized or fool other people .

Unfortunately, they won't be put to bars because there are other people in top places that feeds from such and would not see a reason for taking them behind the bars. Match fixing is not new but the thing is that it is done in secret and op has made his public by advertising it which is the difference. Apart from tennis, in soccer this exist alot for those in house cabals and not for all to know about it especially in lower leagues.

You are right though, like you said, match fixing is not something that started recently, it has been for as long as making money from sporting events have been in existence.

For many, match fixing is not a crime that should warrant the perpetrators being put behind bars, it is simply a form of business where those who are not well up to date loose money.
And the fact that even those who organize this match fixing stuffs are sometimes, top people in the government of sports, makes it harder for them to be caught or even prosecuted when caught, because it's them them, a government can not go against itself, or go to war against itself.

By the way, if match-fixing is well organized, it is very difficult to detect. Of course, it is more common in the lower leagues, but on the other hand, maybe it is simply more often detected in the lower leagues and poor countries? Sometimes it is so poorly hidden that it becomes noticeable almost immediately. And we only know about match-fixing from those cases that were easily detected. And those fixed matches that remained undetected contributed to the funding of the criminal industry. Do we have the tools to detect well-organized match-fixing? I doubt it.
