So guys, usually in our workplace or among our friends, we have 1 or 2 people among them who are pro football or football analyst. These people know what's what in football down to the team and each player.

However one thing common I notice among them is that they always say football now is controlled by bookies.

How does that work? Does that mean that the bookie will have to bribe both team? I really can't figure out how it works.

Can football pros explain?? Half buckets also can.

its serious money, and its safer than doing drugs.

so common ppl should/would not understand how they actually works

bodo. football is not control by bookie.

Team A vs Team B

Team A record 99 wins 0 lose
Team B record 0 win 99 loses

Bookie collects bid at 1:100 ratio

100000000000 people bet RM100 each on Team A win

10 people bet RM100 each on Team B win

To make money, bookie bribe Team A to lose

Team B win

???

PROFIT!!!

Ya exactly. But it's a common thing ppl always say even during world cup.

Bribing 2 national team. That's serious money right??

It is highly unlikely and quite frnkly, stupid...for bookies to fix high end matches.

ppl who make this claim knows nothing about how football betting system works.

Rumours bro. but it is not true.

Do u even understand how match fixing works???

people thinking that bookies make money by hoping the bettor loses.

must be the same people who think that when they lose money in shares, they lose the money to their brokers

but why malaysia football team always lose??

not all matches lol

wrong. in order to control lob sided betting...bookies raise the odds. its as simple and cleacut as that. geez guys...

yeah...ppl can be very ignorant

bookies win regardless of results laaaaaaaaaaaaa

If I know I wouldn't have started this thread right? If u want to explain click la reply and start typing.

ok

*click*

blablalal typgin blablabla..

match fixing dont need to bribe whole team la

bribe striker dun score enough d....

inb4 gk score from goalpost n team stll win bribers go 14th floor

bookies will win even when

1million people bet on team A
1million people bet on team B

also, they usually control low profile leagues. easier to manipulate.

match fixing is when the bookies pay certain players in certain team to create a certain result.

also can bribe the refree to favour one team over another to create the desired result.

if you say 0% chance of bookie influence is fake de. but big games controlled by bookie is hard as football players are paid very high and very hard to be bribed. unless they have gambling issue then most likely can be bribed lo.

if u can detect which game bookie influence then u rich man liao no need work. lol

when will ppl ever learn that fixing matches is pointless for the bookies because punters can choose to bet on either teams...and then theres the case of bola jalan....if ppl caught on that the match is fixed they will taruh all their money on the 'fixed 'team and tahpao the stupid bookie to kingdom come.

another point to note....there are so many many bookies in the world....which bookie exactly do u think so stupid wanna fix a match? lol....guys...
