The term match-fixing has been around for a long time in football. We have heard about it since the 90s, and there have been examples of big European clubs and players being punished for match-fixing scandals that have become widespread. Even today, there is still debate about whether or not match-fixing really exists.

Here, match-fixing takes many forms. Some are used in the sense of pre-planning. For example, in the South Korea-Japan World Cup, the South Korean-Spanish and South Korean-Italian matches were played in a way that could be said to be match-fixing. The referees clearly favored the host countries and made the results come out in the desired way.

Another type is match-fixing by teams. This is often seen in league competitions and tournaments. Especially in national team matches. For example, when the other team is more worried about the second team in the group than the first team in the group that will advance, they deliberately draw matches to avoid such teams. We also see that they lost and came second in the group. This is something that is done outside the box and we can't do anything about it.

Another thing is betting on betting. This is not about winning or losing the game. It is more about betting. What I mean is that in a game where the two teams are very different in terms of their performance, the bets are very high, and the predictions that there will be a goal difference are very high. The teams are very far apart, so there are many people who bet on the top team, but even if the top team wins the game, they deliberately try to make the goal difference not enough to win the bet. In such situations, it is interesting to think about who is buying and how they are making the game.

The people who control most of the betting are usually those who are involved in betting. I don't even need to explain that they are really big bookies. Okay. So let's continue to think about who these people buy and how they make the bets.

The best buy for a team is a coach. He has a lot of control over the outcome of the game. The starting lineup, the formation and instructions for the game, the right to make substitutions, etc. are all in the hands of the coach. It is quite possible to buy a coach or a senior team official who can influence the coach. However, it is very difficult for a coach in the top league to do this nowadays.

If you buy a player, he should be a player who can shape the team's results well. For example, if you want to keep the score low or lose the game, buying a goalkeeper is the best way. Or you can buy a striker who scores goals. However, it will be very difficult to buy players who are focused on winning and winning trophies in the top leagues.

So, to buy players and create a deal, only leagues or teams that are not very popular are suitable. However, buying an entire team is very difficult. Nowadays, every developed country can monitor the income of each person with digital technology. When undisclosed money enters a bank account, it will be closely monitored.

There is a way to prevent it. You can open a bank account in the name of the players or their agents in a developing country with less verification and transfer money there.

Nowadays, there are more and more factors that make it easier to create a deal between players and referees. The first is cryptocurrency. If you deal with people like 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐂𝐨𝐢𝐧 and 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐮𝐦 and 𝐓𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, it is very difficult to reach the 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭. That’s why governments are hesitant to legalize crypto.

In addition, with the rise of large online bookmakers, gambling is no longer a local affair but a global enterprise. Unless they are properly regulated and registered with governments, it is difficult to trace their operations. The capital and liquidity are also very high. The fact that you can bet on cryptocurrencies at these large online bookmakers makes it easier for them to fix matches.

There are still some matches that are suspected of being fixed, and it is still difficult to verify whether they are. From the video of the Liverpool team being booed to the drugs scandal, the Premier League referee’s case involving 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞 is very likely to involve 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠.

When will this news come out and which players, which coaches, It remains to be seen which teams they will take down with them.
