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

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.
