PUNISHMENT OF MATCH-FIXINGĪs far as match-fixing is concerned, there is no specific punishment for match-fixing in India. Plus, winning bets by predicting the pre-decided results is not a way to earn money, and also betting is illegal in India and a punishable crime.
WHAT IS MATCH-FIXING AND SPOT-FIXINGĪlso, a lot of sponsorships and money is spent to arrange games, even the players are also paid the salary for playing, if they do something unethical in the game, it is illegal.
If they already knew who will win, then it would be meaningless to organize any games. When two countries play a match against each other, not only the players and the committee but also the people from both the countries want their country’s team to win. Also, whenever a tournament is organized, the organization wants to have a fair and honest game. Also, if you already know that who will win the match, will you go to see the match, of course not. The reason why match-fixing is illegal is that if a match is already fixed, if the outcomes are pre-decided, then what is the point of playing at all. WHY MATCH-FIXING IS ILLEGAL, ARE PLAYERS TO BE BLAMED? As the players get money from the fixers for increasing the certainty of an event, they will do it and the fixers also earn money from betting, so it’s a win-win situation for both of them. Higher the possibility, the more the return. For example, if it’s the last ball of the match and the batting team needs seven runs to win, there are no possibilities that they will win so the odds will be in the favour of losing.īut if there are three balls left and six runs to hit, the possibility of winning is higher. In betting, the amount that one will get on winning the bet depends upon the possibilities of the happening of an event. So, to make sure they win the money, the big players in the betting already fix the outcomes, so that they will bet money on the outcomes which they have already fixed and when the outcomes come positive, they earn. If the outcomes are not what he betted on, he loses all. If the outcomes turn out to be the same as the bet, the one who bet earns money. In matches, people bet their money on the results or overs or on a single ball of the match. WHAT IS BETTINGīetting refers to bet on an outcome that is just a mere possibility of a happening or non-happening of an event. If it’s a 50 overs match or a test one, there are way more opportunities. If it’s a 20 overs match, there are many opportunities for fixing. The reason behind match-fixing is betting. Talking about how things work in betting, the people who are the fixers, talk with the players about the hints which will be provided to them so that whenever they get such a hint, they will know what to do.Īs the players get the hint, they do what they are told and hence the outcomes become fixed. Longer the game, the more opportunities for spot-fixing. As a very small portion of the game gets fixed, it becomes next to impossible to spot. If it’s a T20 match, there are 120 balls in every single innings out of which the fixers need to take care of just a few of them which makes them very safe and easy for them. It’s easier to fix up things in cricket as there are a ton of opportunities. As it is an illegal thing to do, the people involved in the fixing are very limited and the ones who are involved have a 100% chance of going to jail if get caught. That does not get in the eye of the people and they could easily manipulate things up.
