I don't think it's necessary. There's nothing wrong with soccer and basketball per se, except that bc companies will induce the direction of the money based on their pre-simulated results through changes in data and news of fundamentals, and they won't lose money no matter how people pick. Fundamentals include the team's lineup, home and away advantages, injuries, historical meeting records and other factors, which are both real and fake, especially the various indices and data with a lot of moisture. No matter how you choose, they are not going to lose money, so there is really no need for them to take risks to control the game.
Is there fake soccer and basketball games or not, and is there a need for bc companies to control the games? I think there are fake games, but most of them are in some particularly low-level league, or in the early years when the players do not have much income, nowadays the five major leagues and intercontinental cup will almost not appear fake games, many people think that a lot of NBA are playing fake games, but nowadays the players, casually take out one of the annual salary is one or two million dollars, there is no need to be for such a little bit of small gains, bury their own future.
But the tacit tacit ball subterfuge certainly have, our real life in all walks of life which industry has no subterfuge? Soccer and basketball games of competitive sports have subterfuge is normal, there is really no need to control the game, because their actuaries, and their big data as early as before the start of the game, has basically simulated the outcome of the game. Their core thing is mainly big data plus their actuaries who make six figures or more a year, and now the power of big data, which we all know very well, is the most intuitive of all.
On the actuary profession, many people may not know too much about it, earlier years, an insurance company spent a high salary from abroad to hire the chief actuary Stephen Maier, is specifically to help them go to the design of insurance companies of various kinds of products, the insurance involves the payment of claims, most of the probability of the problem, with the lottery is actually a principle. So the actuaries will accurately design products that allow the company to make money without losing money, and similarly, the odds of the lottery are also highly paid actuaries they go to design out.
