Ultimately there is chance involved due to the nature of sports, but certain results are "encouraged" to various degrees in different leagues and sports across the globe

I always heard the NBA is fixed in favor of 7 game series but idk

Probably not, in general.

Individuals have taken outside money or been coerced into giving less than their best effort. Some refs have made bad calls for money or other reasons. Those are facts. And that has affected the outcome of games in all sports.

In the Olympics, political pressure has affected refereeing in many instances.

But overall, sports are not rigged.

why not?

tl;dr answer incoming

Depends on the sport. It's possible and doable in individual sports like boxing (go swinging in the 3, take a fall in the 4) and tennis, but even in those sports it's usually so blatant they launch a full scale criminal investigation into it.

It's however next to absolutely impossible in team sports like football. Sure, a bribed ref can make a bad call here and there to influence the game, but it's ludicrous to think that every playcall, every catch, every block, every tackle is predetermined. That would amount to a conspiracy of gigantic proportions, with all of the players, coaching staffs and refs being involved, AND making the shit somehow believable (which just isn't doable, look at WWE for example, even a 10 year old can figure out it's not real), AND not having a single whistleblower out of thousands of people over literally decades.

As for refball, I can assure you that a vast, unreal majority of refball cases is just a human error. It's easy for autists to scream "HOW COULD THE REF NOT SEE IT, HE WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE", when the ref has to do a call on the fly instead of watching it from 30 angles on his HD screen in slow motion, real time.

Twilight.

Of course not. If it was, it wouldn't be a secret.

You think a 22 nigger with an IQ of 80 can who is paid a million dollars a year can keep a secret like that?

I was talking to a guy once.

He said bet your fucking life that Bulgaria and Montenegro draw tonight because UEFA makes more money if England qualify for Euro 2012 (through merchandise and tickets and TV and shit).

Sure enough it finished 1-1.

It's made me extremely dubious.

Fixing single matches prob happens one the regular Id say 1 in 10 but fixed leagues as in selection of refs and certain teams getting "favours" is happens in all leagues I would say.

Its not some grand conspiracy that the league is decided before day 1, but the leagues do push certain results.What Italy was accused of (leagues assigning refs to games they know they will make certain calls against teams they dont like) I think happens in every league there is.

With the money they're getting paid they have good reason to keep their mouths shut.
