    Chievo v Sampdoria

    The draw is currently at 1.5 and have 10% of my bankroll on this game.

    What % of bankroll would you recommend?

    This is the first time that I am betting on a "fixed" game. All opinions are welcome!

    honestly, I would have bet DRAW on this even if not for the FIX... but if its the first time youre betting a fix, I suggest to try it out with less cash.

    I say bet it live. I've seen odds on games like this get a lot better when both teams are attacking each other. If you see signs of an obvious fix... EX. they are playing extremely lazy, walking around and not attacking... then I think pounding the under would be safe.

    its really hard to fix a game without it looking very obvious... i would say under is more safe though

    Italian FA is investigating this match. Supposedly there is 10x the normal betting volume on a 1-1 draw scoreline.

    It has the makings of a fixed game. Last year a Chievo game was investigated and it ended 1-1. The game is on Sunday.

    it doesnt worth 1.5 to bet big, I guess it is much appropriate first half draw with 1.9.

    read this in an article"


    A total of $818,113 has been traded on the game, of which $796,801 has been bet on the draw. By way of contrast, the Roma vs Juventus game on the same day has had just over $50,000 traded on it, despite being in theory a much more high profile game.
    talk about subtle ...

    granted I could see this much nearer the end of the season;similar to a few years ago when Genoa and Napoli played to a draw to enure both team qualified for promotion.

    You need to bet quick when the lines come out on these games to get good value and it's well worth studying. The price was +210 when it opened at most European books during the International break. Didn't play it unfortunately

    Thanks for all the inputs, I have decided to stick with 10% as it's not really ethical and risky to bet on a game where you think it's fixed.
