turkish football match-fixing scandal how this affcets bettin integrity

[shadow123]

just saw turkish authorities arrested 17 referees and a club president for match fixing linked to ilegal betting. anyone bet on turkish super lig recent? wondering how many matches were actually fixed and if any of our bets were affected. article says its systemic match fixing not just isolated incidents. bit worrying if this crap spreads here too

this is fucking disgrace but not all matches are fixed most refs are honest. media always making turkey look bad. we have problems yes but english football also had match fixing scandals ok

@uPayILay 17 referees suggests widespread corruption not isolated incidents. Bigger concern is how many matches were compromised before authorities caught on. Unfortunately match-fixing typically runs for extended periods before detection.

exactly brother!! veryone acts like only turkey has dirt. italy had calciopoli, germany had hoyzer scandal so every country has this problem but when turkey arrests people trying to fix problem suddenly we are the bad ones double standard as it is

Not trying to pile on Turkey specifically, but 17 refs is a lot. That suggests pretty deep corruption in the officiating system. Anyone noticed something that felt off?

galatasaray had 3 penalties in one game does it counts?

17 refs?? insane and makes me worrying honeslty

Don't worry that much. Major European leagues have much stricter oversight and referee scrutiny. Match-fixing still possible but significantly harder.

now i wonder if bookies will void bets from affected matches

Unlikely bookies will void old bets unless specific matches proven fixed AND you can prove you were disadvantaged. Burden of proof is high. Going forward though, some books might suspend Turkish league betting or reduce limts until investigation's over.

 

[uPayILay]

authorities catching these refs is good thing. imho means system is working

 

[CatMatt]

Anyway this creates huge uncertainty around Turkish football. Odds will probably shift significantly as bookies adjust risk models. Wouldn't be surprised if major books suspend Turkish markets temporarily or reduce maximum stakes until more information comes out about which matches were affected.

always wondered why some underdogs covered spread so easily. now makes sense lol

nobody saying all turkish football is corrupt but agree 17 refs getting arrested is proper serious and not ok in anywher

 

[casinoFiend88]

question is how long this been going on. headers say systematic which means months or years potentially brutal

 

[x@nter]

ny concern is we never know which leagues are compromised until the scandal breaks by then we've already lost money

yes turkey at least catching and prosecuting while football corruption is global problem many countries look other way

good point ser

lets be honest turkish super lig wasnt most popular and this will finish it. as betting companies pay big money for sponsorships if they pull out thats huge loss for clubs
