The bookies are already making a lot just from these competitive leagues every season, and there's no need for them to go that far when other sites have successfully made their way to the top.
So here’s the question, do you believe the league itself could be the mastermind, doing this to beat the betting public? And if this is really happening but can’t be proven, what’s our approach as bettors to still make a profit from it?
I doubt the big leagues are the ones pulling the strings. They have other ways to make money aside from fixing matches, and I don't understand why they have to beat the public when it should be the bookies who have to worry about that part.
If there's a case about the league forcing teams to fix matches, then the best option would be to put the league on a blacklist and move on to the next best competitive league.
