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.
The refund part seems very off for me, as it's really something like not 100% confident about the match fixing, like what will be the reason if the match fixing does not go accordingly? And how possible also he will get refund, and the first thing is maybe he is just playing around with you about his bets.
Like it's really confusing, that you will say this to random strangers about your bets and claim there's a match fixing happening.
