Ref fixing Real Betis game

[CallMeGENO]

hope someone else is witnessing this

[CallMeGENO]

blatant handball in the box, no call.

then betis puts in a header on a cross and he waves off the goal and gives the scorer a yellow card????

complete joke

[JOHON8]

Yeah I was watching it pretty obvious fixing. I would have bet against Betis LIVE when I saw that but my book removed the line.

[bostonbruins]

Sucks I was on Betis

There is always a "fixed game" risk in lower leagues, especially in Spain or Italy. Should stay away..

[donsirlisir]

damn.. i was on betis

It's good to be on the side of the fix though, even though it's as risky.

Yeah, it was pretty tough to watch. I was on O2.5 and once I saw the second red card, I knew it I wouldn't see the last goal.

Pretty discouraging.

how often does this occur

[RubberKettle]

how often does this occur

Not to often. Pretty much only occurs in lower leagues. I would watch out for Serie B and Liga Aldente, some strange results.

Even greater sign of a fix? They remove the line....lol. Like the guy who sells the broken radios, at a nice little kiosk on the corner "buy my radios" he says. So you give him the money cuz it turns on at the kiosk and sounds great, then you find out later it only worked that one moment. You return to the kiosk only to find no trace of him and nobody around even remembers he was there.

This type of thing always makes me wonder about the teams that are heavily sponsored by sportsbooks and such. Doesn't that spell "conflict of interest"?? And it would be interesting to study teams like that. Matches where TONS of money came in on them at their sponsorship book, do they lose the game or win most of the time?? It's interesting to think about how much of a grip the underworld and what-not has on such things

Read "The Fix" by Declan Hill. Not so much about sponsors, more about organized crime. But a great read nonetheless.

The thing is that the books are not necessarily involved in the fix. They remove lines because they have insider info that a fix is going to happen. They can tell by the influx of money on a particular game or some suspicious activity during the game.

Like rubberkettle says, read Declan Hill's book and even visit his website. This journalist risked his life getting info on fixed games in the sport. It happens more often than we think.
