It's a fallacy that money is balanced on every game on the board. Bookmakers have their nuts hanging out on plenty of games due to late money. And there's nothing they can do about it --- except try to influence the outcome by getting to a ref or, maybe, a player. It's always been that way. And it rarely succeeds. When it does, it's fairly noticeable. But bettors who think every represents a "fix" are delusional.

All BULL$hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Cowboys, the most popular team in the NFL hasn't won a championship in over 2 decades. Yeah, I'm sure Jerry Jones is ok with losing for the fix.Yankees, the most popular team in the MLB has won 1 championship in the last 18 years. Yeah, I'm sure the Steinbrenner family is ok with losing for the fix.Try and comprehend for 1 second how much these guys have lost by not having a winning team. Hundreds of millions on the low end.Celtics, one of the most popular teams in the NBA. 1 title in 32 fu#kin years. If they were really fixing leagues for the sake of making more corporate money they need to fire the people in charge of this cause they are doing a $hitty job. They are leaving BILLIONS on the table by keeping the popular teams out.
I don't have an opinion on whether games are fixed or not, but since the teams above are ALREADY popular and generate tons of revenue, wouldn't you want as a league to "fix" games/seasons to drive more popularity to cites/teams that aren't as popular to gain more revenue. Just a thought as to why some of the "popular" teams aren't on the winning side of the alleged "fixes".
Example: NBA wouldn't let CP3 go play with Kobe and the LAKERS (popular team) because it wouldn't be fair, yet they let Golden State (previously unpopular) go get Durant AFTER winning the most games in history. Curry and Durant have the number 1 and 3 selling jersey....
I believe there is fixing in college athletics and sports like Tennis (many matches have been proven to be fixed and bets were refunded and graded as "no action") because it could be worth it for these athletes to take a dive, but only in very, very rare instances.
