I won`t call it match fixing but... End of season football

Cremonese-Paganese (16/11/2010): during the HT some players added sedative to the team-mate drinks.....

[enzabella2009]

37 matches are being investigated for match fixing.
5 serie A
12 serie B
20 lega pro.
Nothing has been proved yet but, I am very pleased how the authorities are tackling the corruption despite bad publicity for the Italian sport. Betfair was warned and adviced to stop the gambling b4 each match. You all know what betfair responded to it..Many countrys sweeps the sport corruption under the carpet but, one of the most corrupted country in europe is strongly fighting it....I would love to know why betfair ( The most honest site in the world) never cooperated for the truth of the italian match fixing.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina

I did not follow this game....Did the price for Atalanta shorten before the start?

Draw went off at 2.36, didn't look at Atalanta, could probably get it from the data if needed. Just an observation.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina

Forget about my previous reply. I think I understand what you mean now.. were you focus on the draw? 2,4 perhaps? What I can say that many teams will be penalized @ the end of the investigations. There is an Austrain bookmaker that have given plenty informations to the authorities. They spotted 2 dodgy movements before march but, nothing like the 1,2- 1,3- 1,4- 1,5 odds for the draw of the past seasons. Atalanta has started with minus 10 this season, they have been already found guilty of fixing games in serie B... I lernt not to complete rule out the possibility of more match fixing.

I've been quitely watching this years end of season Italian football and it's been interesting to see how a lot of these very short priced draws have not come in this year. You would have made a lot laying the draw on these matches this year.

HMMMM Interesting,

HMMMM Interesting,

Overall, a draw would suit both teams to help fight relegation.

erm, 2-0 at 32 mins - Sporting Gijon not read the script here?

[invisiblelayer]

that looked dodgy but nothing like a end of season Serie B game in Italy, from memory a few linked with Hellas Verona have Betfair by the balls, both recent promotion seasons very suspect, the one they played a few years ago I think against Emploi contained lots of air shots when chances on goal, it was really that bad.

I'm lost...Can someone explain why this is dodgy?

JTEDL didnt say it was dodgy. He said it didnt follow the script (of inferred possible dodgy-ness from convoysur-2's post regarding his early trading activity observation and wearthefoxhat's follow up appraisal). I'd suggest convoysur-2 made a huge leap of inferrence and was barking up the wrong tree.
