FIXED MATCHES
In the pursuit of "secure" wins, many bettors fall into the trap of so-called "tipsters" who promise to deliver information about fixed matches in exchange for a fixed fee. Here are some facts about this subject, which seems to attract more and more bettors.
Nowadays in many sports there are many arrangements taking place, more or less visible. There are examples in tennis, football and many other sports - where even some bookmakers who sponsor teams/championships could make such kinds of arrangements. Unfortunately, what most of the bettors forget to understand is that this type of information is not something accessible to anyone - and especially not on websites or Facebook pages where you can find prices of 75-100 EUR/fixed match.
Many people started to take advantage of this subject and think about a wide range of ways to deceive and trick bettors regarding these arrangements. If you search on Google or Facebook you will find hundreds of people who are offering information about fixed matches. The first thing that should come to your mind when seeing such pages should be: why would anybody who has access to such important information (e.g. fixed tennis match or fixed football match) risk and sell it/make it public, instead of betting on it and winning huge amounts of money? The answer is pretty simple: these people are scammers who are trying to win money from naive bettors who think they can find out from Facebook pages with 100 likes that Barcelona or Real Madrid will "arrange" a future football game.
What's interesting is that this whole plan to trick people to pay for this type of service has gone very far: not only that they modify the betting tickets, but they even make videos with people going to fake betting agencies in order to cash out their winnings (which are obviously not real).
Bettors should try to avoid all the websites or Facebook pages which promise to provide tips with fixed matches. Also, bettors should never pay for such kind of services. It's a shame to put money in the pockets of unscrupulous people.
The only way bettors can have success and win is on their own - by analyzing, testing and placing bets using their own mind and decisions. You can't have a long-term win unless you start to dedicate time to this activity and take it seriously. Paying tipsters or paying for "fixed matches" services not only won't help, but will also make you lose more money and cause frustration.
