We've had some discussions here regarding fix matches being real or not, but today something astonishing happened where I was watching today's game that made me start to believe this narrative about fix matches being true.


Today someone came in where we were watching the Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool community shield game, a fan of Manchester United, and joined our table of discussion. As the discussion was on going, the supporter said his friend gave him the Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace match to bet as a fixed FT draw. Most of us did not believe it until he showed us where he staked the game, and at that point Liverpool were already leading by 2:1, so he said he was about to lose #100,000 (Nigerian Naira), but he's not worried because there was an agreement they had that if the game did not play, his friend is going to refund him. Particularly, I do not totally believe in a possible fixed match of a thing, but to my gratest surprise, I couldn't believe how the game ended in a 90-minute draw.

According to the guy, he said this is not the first time, that he's friend trust he's source, whereas he never disclosed any information to us upon our efforts trying to get more info.

Any similar experience?

I doubt they fix matches at such level and the community shield happening a draw is not something to make us draw such conclusions. Rest assured fixed matches happen everywhere otherwise I don't explain the transfer cost of 100 million Euros or more for a single player yet they don't exist in such an open game like the one describing here. I think his friend only gave him info which maybe is his own idea or prediction like in many other cases otherwise if he was so sure that it would be definitely a draw then he could have bet his house on the even and in case of a win had two new houses  Grin, oh wait he never did that, did he? Of course not as there are many as this friend of yours, I personally know a handful of such persons.
