I won’t lie, sometimes some matches look suspicious as hell 😂. One defender will suddenly forget how to clear the ball out of danger and the goalkeeper would dive like an amateur. But at the same time, betting can mess with your brain badly. Once tickets get spoiled, every strange moment starts looking like it's fixed. I was talking about this today after one over 1.5 match ended 0-0 despite having like twenty goal chances.
 
Yes, I believe that some games are fixed. They are very secretive about it to the extent that you won't even know that such games are fixed. I've seen it play out many times with many games but getting the proof that it is a fixed match is very difficult.
 
Match fixing happens. It is the ugly side of sports. In my part of the world, a lot of players and non-players have been banned for fixing matches. However, blaming "match fixing" for your losses is also not good.
 
In sports betting, most losses come from variance, poor analysis, or unrealistic expectations, not fixed matches. Match-fixing does happen occasionally, especially in less regulated leagues, but blaming losses on rigging too quickly usually is a lower mentality
