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?
No, my man. I have never experienced something similar to that and honestly, I would be very impressed and disturbed if I was on your position. Because, I am aware fixed matches are real and they occur specially common within small and local leagues, but I did not thought they were so powerful and could fix matches in that fashion you mention to us.
One thing is to be aware of criminal syndicates which fix matches in other to get a low of money, but a completely different experience is to witness a match being fixed imbefore your very own eyes.
Stories like yours kind of discourage me from betting on football and any other major match, unfortunately, almost prompts me only to gamble on probably fair games, instead of sport betting.
