    Fixed matches in the World Cup.
    Anyone here bet any money on Cameroon last week?
    Poor country and you need cash,what better way to grab a few bucks.



    Cameroon's football federation is to investigate allegations of match-fixing by its players at the World Cup after it emerged a convicted fraudster correctly predicted they'd lose 4-0 and have a man sent off against Croatia.

    Glad I bet against them in every match.

    The article says there is no evidence of unusual betting patterns though. Without that it's tough to call fix.


    Although maybe it could explain the "No Reason" this article was wondering about 2 weeks ago.

            I used to research match fixing a lot, you can sometimes literally see where all the money is going if you spend your time looking at different markets. The problem is knowing which ones are genuinely fixed and having the balls to put your cash on it.

                  Fixing happens in every sport, and yes it happens a lot more in soccer, because soccer is more popular and more widely played than anything else. The whole point of this thread is about whether people are profiting off of it or not.

                    I love reading about fixed matches actually.

                    I was being sarcastic in the sense that all this match fixing and the governing bodies still take a lax effort to stop it IMO.

                        Cool, we need more people working together to monitor fixed matches. I spent too long doing it 2 years ago, but I did decently with my tiny account, it was hard to determine which ones were locks since not all unusually high volume bets (lower leagues, not famous matches) would hit. Thinking of looking more into it again.

                          Cameroon is the worst team. They would have lost even without a fix. That's like saying the Lions fixed games when they went 0-16. You can't fix suckage.

                            That's the point though, most fixed matches include bad teams. It would be foolish to bribe top class players on Brazil for example. It also plays into the illusion and likelihood that Cameroon would lose like that. The point is there needs to be certainty that a shitty team loses a certain way and certain things happen that ensure your bets.

                              You can't "fix" suckage, but you can make sure a glimmer of "decent" doesn't infect the landscape.

                                You're so wrong suckage is where you start if you wanna fix a game,and by the way i can tell you never read the article cause if you did you wouldn't of made such a silly statement.

                                So here it is pavy just for you.

                                A player on Cameroon got a red card or flag or whatever the fucckk you call it.
                                That was part of the fix...supposedly the fix was a Cameroon player to get a red card in the 1sthalf of play...Bingo it happened.

                                Now what fucckking difference does it make if they(Cameroon) suck or not?

                                          A guy convicted of fixing games seems to be the guy to listen to about fixing games... i certainly wouldn't listen to him about creating a CV or how to bake a cake.

                                              I would have been surprised that you even know how to read with some of the dumb things you say.

                                                I will believe if the bad team beats the good team. More money. But the bad team lost to better team, less money unless to play like exact score, that gives more money.
                                                Interesting though. We should dig deeper.
                                                Nobody said anything when Spain lost heavily to Netherlands.

                                                      Cameroon and Ghana associations are retarded. They simply, didn't perform well this World Cup, get over it. THey act like they are good teams who should win the world cup. Just because they didnt advance, doesn't mean they were fixing matches.

                                                          Argentina could of clearly scored at will whenever they wanted to during the last game. Missing headers... Cornerkicks that were inaccurate. Clearly they wanted the Draw and the Under to win. Worst play so far for me. Have to be prepared for the fugging rig... every damn game.
