Betting seems to be very sweet when nature favors you
to be a WINNER in the game
Some degree of ignorance will always be the root of
an average bettor’s misery. Of recent, the hype
about fixed matches especially in this part of the
world have been blown out of proportion and I feel a
sense of moral duty to completely expose what's
going on so you don't waste useful money.
The little information you’d be exposed to on this
page now, you might not find easily elsewhere. So i
urge you to relax and take your time to carefully
read this article. Let me start by stating an awkward truth – yes,
Fixed Matches do Exist. The templates of how
matches are fixed we may not look at today, but
what is common is -for a match to be fixed, a
player(s), coach, referee or someone who has a
direct role to play in that particular game is
compromised. Mainly for a payoff, although
sometimes other factors could trigger a fix.
Now what match fixing simply means is that a
match is played to produce an already completely
pre-determined result (a result concluded even
before the game kicks off). Sometimes it may not
be a full-scale fixing like that. It may involve fixing
of small events within a match which can be
gambled upon but which is unlikely to prove
decisive in determining the final result of the
game. This type of fixing is generally referred to as
Spot fixing. It could be on minor things like time of
yellow card, time of first throw-in and so on.
You get the point right?
But that’s not the issue at the moment. Here is
what should bother you -“ Who fixes this matches
and how does it affect you?”
Smart question bro! Who do you think benefits
more from a fixed match -bettors or Bookmakers?
If you say bettors, You are right.
Just imagine yourself strolling into the bet shop
with first hand knowledge of the pre-
determined exact outcome that a match would
play. This god-like feeling appeals to every
gambler and the more influential ones will
do whatever it takes to make this happen so that
they can be guaranteed a profit when they bet
on this manipulated games.
Good! We are making some progress here but we
are still miles away from our destination..
Now, here is the main difficulty.
Unlike individual sports like boxing/tennis, team
sports like football are much difficult to fix.
There are 22 players, 4 officials, 2 coaching
staffs, substitutes - that's too many people you
have to get to fix a game correctly.
Tricky part? The more people you bribe, the
more chances you have on the outcome you want
and the more chances of you being exposed.
Far important than that - The bookmaker has
to be kept in the dark else things could go wrong.
The match could run a risk of being cancelled, the
primary fixer runs a potential risk of losing his
precious investment, the fixer and others involved
could be prosecuted for sports crimes if fished out.
This ushers us into something very crucial I think
you must know. In fact, what you’d read below
was the reason this article was written in the
first place.
Match fixing is a serious business on it’s own.
The fixer (individual or corporate body) is in for
profits. and yes, there are fixed matches here
and there mostly in lower divisions and games
that are not televised..
..
.
The fix goes in two ways - first, you have to
successfully fix the game by compromising
someone with direct influence on the game -
maybe a coach or player (s) or team owner or
official.
Now, to get back the initial investment and
return back reasonable profit, you have to lay
down a large stake that runs into millions of
pounds/dollars maybe around $2Million to
$20Million depending on the cost of the fix.
Problem is, bookmakers have a limit on stakes
and cannot accept such insane amounts.
Hence, the fixer is forced to take his big money
somewhere else where it is accepted.
So, second step is to phone up a contact (An
agent fixer) in Asia (mostly, Singapore, china
or Thailand) to fix the illegal Asian gambling
market which is measured in tens of millions of
dollars.
But here is the interesting part!
As much as they’d love to and the massive profit
that could come from it, genuine match fixers
can’t sell to the general public, they barely
advertise it. Think about it, why should they? If
they must sell this games, it’s sold in the dark
web (very closed circle) not accessible to just
anybody. and surely not accessible for the
meagre $100 or $250 fraudsters charge for it. Ask
yourself this question -"why would anyone tell
you about a supposed fixed match? if they know
the game is fixed, why don't they borrow a
truckload of cash and stake heavily on it? why
would they alert the world on social media?
You need to appreciate that bookmakers are
intelligent people who are really out for business.
Do you know that by simply monitoring the pre-
match betting markets it is possible to detect a
planned match fixing? Do you know it is even
possible to detect on-going manipulated matches
by looking at the in-game betting markets?
Bookmakers have softwares in place that
provides the systems for detecting a manipulated
game once they find suspicious betting patterns.
The average normal stakes placed is like N100,
N200, N1000 and around that range but are
hardly hundreds of thousands. Let’s say for an
outcome as totally unpredictable as the correct
score, bettors cannot place bets on such outcome
with high stakes.
So if bookmakers see one bet above the average
wager, they’d just raise an eyebrow, if it
becomes two an investigation is triggered. Any
more than that and a couple more bets keeps
coming in, they’d have to shut down that
particular betting market.
So you see, with the knowledge of this why
would the primary fixer risk his investment –
both time and large sums of money to go down
the drain like that. obviously, the gains of selling
to the general public is quite negligible
considering the risk involved. Risk of investment
loss and indictment.
In fact, to cut the long story short.
Over 90% of websites and individuals that claim
to offer fixed games are fake. No speculating here
now, that’s a fact. It’s even more disturbing that
in Nigeria alone, that statistics climbs to 99%.
It’s no surprise actually since there are no
agencies set in place to checkmate some of this
things.
This guys are just regular soccer pundits that do
some serious research (If you are lucky enough
to meet the few ones that analyze their games)
and give to you. And that’s why you’d always
hear them say “If the game fails, you’d get
another.” That alone tells you what you’d be
getting is not as 'fixed' as you were meant to
believe.
For God's sake, match fixing simply means a
match is played to a completely/partially pre-
determined result. So how can a supposedly sure
game in quote fail?
What really happens here is that the adjective
FIXED is used to pre-sell their service. It’s an
attention grabber .
And guess what that word FIXED does for them.
It provides the psychological framework that
justifies the very high fee they charge for this
games. They could charge 20k or more and you’ll
pay. Why? not necessarily because you have the
money but because you think the game has some
real prospects and is worth a try (Greed).
.
.
The truth is fixed match exist but fixed match
bet tips are 99% scam.
And most recently, these scammers use Facebook
as their hub for operation. They create a page,
run a little ad advertising winnings or send out
free games for awhile just to get your attention.
If the games fail, it’s deleted from their page, if
it plays and luckily they get something like 2-3
successive wins.
Next they’d let the word out of a high odd
guaranteed fixed match that just arrived and
won’t be available for free.
Next you inbox them and they encourage you to
make just half-payment, then pay the balance
after you win. Don't fall for that.
Because if you do, here is exactly what would
happen.
They’d likely give out a Half-time/Full-time
prediction. Reason because it’s carries a
relatively high odd. Then, they'd divide their
clients into groups. Giving each group different
half time/full time outcome. To Client A - 1/x,
Client B - X/2 and so on. So in all
groups, one group will definitely produce the
winner and will be eager to pay more
money while they take others as loss or promise
to give them another free bet. Once clients who
lost makes unhealthy comment on their page,
they ban/block them from commenting and
delete their comments.
And the won bet slip from the winning group
would then be used for marketing and adverts
against the next weekend repeating the circle all
over.
This is serious and that's how they operate.
Worse is the outright scammers that takes your
money and gives you no single tip at all. Even if
it’s the one that will cut self, you receive
nothing.
But then, some other sets of scammers really do
a great job putting lots of energy into studying
games and looking out for a game with
probability of a particular outcome playing out
but they don’t have an influence in determining
this probability directly/indirectly.
Here is what am really trying to say there……
There is a big difference between picking a game
that has a very high chance of a particular
outcome playing out and going out yourself to
influence this outcome or having knowledge of an
insider who can influence this probability.
And that’s my biggest beef with this ones. Why
not tell people you are just a regular tipster
instead of brutally taking advantage of desperate
and ignorant individuals? Promising them
fortunes from fixed games when it's just a
researched bet.
Truth is, this is one form of internet fraud and a
bit of natural intelligence could do in spotting
it, most of the victims fall because their
ignorance breeds gullibility which is fueled by
greed.
My advice is simple:
Almost every fixed match bet tipster
is a scam. You don't want to find out if he is
genuine or not with your hard-earned
money. So Avoid them completely if you can.
Don't even bother looking at the won bets
they show you, all those stuff are
manipulated just to trick you.
If anyone offers to sell you fixed
match information, politely decline. They are
doing it only to help themselves - NOT you.
If you believe you have been
scammed or a victim of internet fraud,
report it. File a complaint. Most victims don’t
just care, they simply lick their wounds in
silence. Just Wondering who that has helped.
Do something - even if its as leaving
behind their names or account details on the
comment box below this article. Could be
enough to save someone from falling into
their trap.
Also remember most transactions with this guys
requires a means of communication - a phone
number perhaps and a bank account to wrap up the
syndicate. That alone is enough lead. A phone
number (likely registered) and a bank account
(BVN) - Make use of it smartly.
On a lighter note, you can make good profits from
sport betting by yourself by doing a good analysis,
having a good strategy and using proven methods
rather than hoping to luckily win someday.
To make it in sports betting you should put greed
aside and see football betting as a business. Think
of progressive small wins. Even if you make just
N2000 profit daily, at the end of the month you can
earn good amount of income than losing huge out of
greed. What matters is what you want at the end of
a reasonable period and not what you want to earn
today.
If you'd love to learn how to start betting
professionally and using proven methods that
guarantees long-term profit.

Guess i’ll have to hit the brakes here for now.
Hope you found this article helpful. If you did, then
the aim of writing was achieved. Go out there and
make informed decisions. The best defense is
knowledge and the world of sports betting is no
exception.
HAPPY BETTING............!
