When small leagues get caught rigging games, they lose credibility, so do you really think it never happens in major leagues?

I’m talking about the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS, and global football (soccer) leagues. If you’re not new to sports betting, I’m sure you’ve heard or read speculations that some games might be rigged. But since these are major leagues with billions of dollars at stake, if the industry were to be exposed, it could collapse. That’s why no one big ever gets caught, only players or referees who could just be the fall guys.

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?
100% go look up how many people are being caught betting on their sport. They're allowed to bet but not on their sport which makes no sense really. They have plenty of money, so why risk it? They like the thrill apparently.

There's 1 article about athletes caught gambling and there are many more. Big games are where I'd look to stay away or bet the underdog, especially in the NBA.
