        I say baseball. Football its too easy for an official to take away a TD and give phantom calls. Baseball you have too many variables to be able to get the results you need. Funny bounces, bonehead plays all will make it that much harder to fix

              Football, especially with the coaches challenge.

                Baseball is easy because of reliance on umpire calls for balls and strikes.

                  The only way to fix a professional sport is by paying off refs. The Players make more money in one game than you would be able to bet so it would have to be a sport like baseball or basketball where a few bad calls has a strong impact on the outcome of the game.

                  College sports are different since the players do not make any money.

                  But basketball would be the easiest followed by baseball and than football.

                        Who is fixing it?

                        If it's referees/umpires, then football would probably be the hardest. While they can do phantom calls, umpires can change strike zones, and blow calls on the bases and basketball referees are already fixing games, so there's that.

                        If it's the manager/coach, basketball would be the hardest. In football or baseball, the coach could easily remove key components from the game (QB or SP) and could fukk up the game without raising too much suspicion. It would be fukked if a basketball coach removed the entire starting lineup from the game for the entire game.

                        If it's a single player, the hardest would be basketball. Again, for the same reason as above. The least amount of power in any one individual's hand. And if he fukks up, he's benched and really probably didn't do that much damage.

                        If an entire team is trying to throw a game, it would be hardest to do in baseball because you still need your opponents to put the ball into play. Fumbles and missed shots are very easy ways to throw a game in basketball and football.

                            fouls and holding make baskets and football easiest to fix. in that order. baseball is doable, but it takes the homeplate umpire to shade a few balls and strikes. still difficult to be certain of outcome--it would only shade things. Basketball can be done by only one official with foul calls. very easy and outcome is almost certain.
