Sumo: Wrestlers suspected of cellphone match-fixing

[zeebjii]

i remembered few years ago, i was betting on in-play for 2 italian teams, the odds rose to 5+ for the lousy team, i whipped a $100 on them to win and eventually they did. another thing i noticed is those big teams like ac and inter seldom kelong, watch out for those which hardly made the cut in serie A.:o

uk horse racing is interesting cos' you can back and lay but is difficult to trade cos' of the time running out too soon unless you are superfast in your mouse clicking. football is better cos within 90 minutes, the odds can rise and fall=more time for playing the odds. arbitrage the odds difference, or back high and lay low, to make some coffee money.:o
and the 4 seasons there made the horses run in different form,more exciting as outsiders more likely to emerge, especially in winter. i prefer to solely back horses nowadays.:o

my research in sports betting, i conclude when huge sum of money is involved, one better watch out and be careful.

Kelong (talking about $$ to bribe players) exists in all sports, but in soccer not easy to do it, especially at the highest level like EPL. That's why you have the floodlight incident.

You basically need to bribe the whole team for the kelong to be effective. And players in top teams earn so much now, with sky high salaries and numerous endorsements. There is virtually no incentive for them to kelong.

What if the extra cash comes from sponsors and not stated in their contract?

There was a similar case involving a jockey who won his race and was rewarded? Cannot recall the full facts of case but I think he was acquitted.

Can anyone assist here? Maybe our horse racing experts can.

Players can receive cash from sponsors for endorsing their products, but these should have nothing to do with the outcomes of matches.
The only incentives for players should only come from their employers under the terms of their contracts or in line with the rest of the team.

If a player gets cash from an external party if his team wins the match or if he scores 2 goals, what happens if he doesn't get the extra cash? Will he make the team lose or not score? That is probably what the law and the rules are trying to prevent.

You should get in touch with Senile Sex Mentor (SSM) Equalisation for entertainment and excitement (E&E).

Equalisation's E&E can lead to A&E at SGH!

You basically need to bribe the whole team for the kelong to be effective.

From my understanding, the goalkeeper and defenders are critical players for kelong to succeed. You don't need to bribe the entire team. Bribing the entire team is very risky. You just need one player to blow the whistle.

At times, bribing the whole team is not enough. My friend, convicted for kelonging in the past, once confided that an entire African team was bought to lose. The team did its part - they didn't play to win.

The problem was with the other team. Someone bought them and they too wanted to lose. If that happens, mati liao. The match will be played like clowns in a circus.
