Observations
How to identify if the match is fixed?
1.) During the game, watch the first 10 minutes if any team scores, the game is mostly fixed, they will score at the most unimaginable moment, as within 30 seconds or 3 minutes are common signals.
2.) Pay attention to the speed of both players on the team. The team that will lose the will tends to run slower than the other team. Another point to consider is the team that is willing to win, they will fight with all their might to get to the ball and the one that is arranged to lose {note that this also refers to the team that yields the ball but cannot covering the given AH} will miss even inches from the goalpost. disorganized in defense showing no effort to block the attack of the forwards.
3.) Not all footballers are great actors, they pay close attention to their body language, they will show great agonies while missing clear shots, but their eyes secretly laugh, some even had a hard time controlling their facial expression, occasionally they unconsciously stare into the camera before averting his eyes quickly.
4.) The coach makes the decision to eliminate the key players from the team by replacing him with a less superior player. Consider this why a coach would eliminate that particular key forward who just scored the crucial goal and try to defend the 1 goal lead well within the opening time. 50 or 60 minutes.
5.) Biased arbitration decision. Legitimate goals claimed offside, or clear penalty given without fail are common signs that give a non-deserving team a non-stop penalty.
What to do when you know it is fixed?
1.) Don’t bet big when there are live matches. Try to observe the first place before betting and then bet during the second half, as that is where the tricks of the bookies are revealed.
2.) You need to master the art of decoding odds before you can bet big.
3.) Do not fully trust what you see in the first half, as what is obvious is usually a trap.
4.) Don’t doubt the odds, posted odds are often set in a way to catch average bettors, so try to mold your thinking as a bookie and you’ll see a lot clearer.
