Fixed Match Betting – What Is It and How Can You Bet on It?

Let’s get one thing out of the way – fixing matches is highly illegal, and anyone responsible for pre-determining the result of a sporting event, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Betting on matches that are allegedly fixed, on the other hand, is not illegal! It is every punter’s dream to be able to detect when a match is fixed so that they can make the right wager. While there are no sure ways to find out if a match is fixed (if you’re not the one doing the fixing), the few tips discussed in this article may help you gain a better perspective.

Watch for Rapid Odds Changes

Pre-match and in-play odds can serve as a good indicator if a match is being fixed. It is generally accepted that odds will drop slightly if enough players bet on a particular market. However, when the odds of any market change considerably in a very short time, that’s an indication that a large sum of money has been placed on that particular market. Although large bets on high-profile events aren’t that unusual, they do strike a red flag when they are made on small leagues and competitions.
