    It didn' start today and it will never end! The suspicious own goals, dubious penalties, last-minute equalizers, "expensive" draws (like the Galatasaray/Sturm Graz +500 draw) will continue to be part of the game. Training oneself to benefit from it is what we should be doing. Imagine if one had cashed the draw in the Galatasaray game at +500!

    surprise?

    I still want to choke people who think that NFL is clean or NBA or whatever sports.

    Pride don't buy you resorts on a private island, money does.

    Shit, I'd suck a bag of dicks for a million $

    No big surprise and nothing really new - match fixing is as old as betting; thus much older than most professional sports.
    Anybody who bets on Davydenko at an ATP 250 is either crazy or "well informed".

    For a broader perspective and quite a good read, get Declan Hill's "The Fix".

    i cnt honnestly belive the Galatasaray was a fix draw lol, but fixing games will always be a part there, i know myself multiple times in eastern european leagues and even a La Liga game where games have been fixed even some of them to the score. Which is the reason i try to stay clear of those leauges lol

    In the Champions league the low key matchs are very prone to being Fixed, especially in the 1st and 2nd qualification rounds

    They may still be doing it but they're now more clever than before.
