Do you think it's something new? No one talks about it because it has been like that since years. However, this has remained hidden until poly was found, because everything took place through bookmakers. Currently, prediction markets resemble bookmakers offering bets on esports as in its early times, easy way to profit from any market you create. But there is one unfortunate drawback, Now it’s not the company that loses money to fixers, but casual players so that just means no one will care about it even less…
🚨 EXPOSING ONE OF THE BIGGEST ESPORTS BETTING SCAMS.
A betting ring is allegedly cold DMing high rollers claiming they’ve bought out players in certain DOTA and online CS games who will intentionally “throw.”
High rollers then tail these “inside” bets with $10K+ across sportsbooks and Polymarket.
But here’s the kicker:
The players can allegedly decide NOT to throw.
Meaning the high roller loses everything while the people selling the “inside information” walk away with the money.
And the scam gets even crazier.
Punters on Telegram and Discord allegedly find two victims and give each one a different “guaranteed” bet.
One wins, they take a percentage.
The other loses, they make up an excuse and convince him to place another bet.
That loses too - blocked.
Rinse. Repeat.
I’m NOT saying the entire DOTA or CS scene is rigged.
But if people are openly claiming they can buy players and manipulate matches, this isn’t betting anymore.
It’s organized match fixing hiding in plain sight.

Both accounts post screens from the same bookmaker "viphouse" both accounts are based in Spain and retweets each other's.
@SlenderCs@d1emacs No hace falta que tengas dinero propio para hacer apuestas, los sindicatos lo harán por ti. Solo tienes que seguir su plan y, una vez hecho el trabajo, recibirás un pago para que por fin puedas comprar GC.
The betting scene is full of greedy morons; it’s actually quite funny—some random "betting expert" is asking me for a "bread" and 10k just to post (or not post) something on Twitter. I had a good laugh at that. @shyuxbets
Sharing this for tomorrow 1u Ex-Ence ml vs Balkan [email protected]
Ence odds going up from 1.59 to 1.79 makes no sense imo, ence has won against the vrs core of Balkan Outlaws (Hyperspirit) on lan and the 2 roster moves shouldnt be such a great upgrade for an almost cherrypick odd
@aRTYS4N@shyuxbets Match-fixing isn't just about running throw scripts so obvious that even someone with 70iq would realize something was wrong after watching just ten such matches.
Not every team does the same thing and this is just tiny sample of data, there are many more factors.
You might check other teams, some of them could be even more blatant.
Most of these teams likely won't be offered by trusted bookmakers or other exchanges, or bookmakers may also set lower max stake limits for them. These are just tips how to spot fixing teams without need watching the gameplay, bookmakers monitor betting flows as well as everything happening within the game and around the teams themselves.
@aRTYS4N@shyuxbets Take the Walczaki as an example: their second match in a row where they’ve lost after holding a significant lead with win probabilities around 90–10. Once again their match isn’t listed on Polymarket and the trading volume for it on Kalshi was significantly higher than usual.
@KRL_STREAM L'idée d'une liste comme celle-ci est bonne, mais tu devrais jeter un œil à ce fil de discussion avant de commencer à le mettre en avant...
Sur le serveur, il s’agit de trucage de matchs, mais dans la vraie vie, on appelle cela de la corruption.

So @shyuxbets didn't want to explain why he left leo team off his list and now it turns out he’s actually getting paid to *not* talk about teams? Interesting...

@shyuxbets So what makes them "inactive" or ineligible for this list?
If they fix 1–3 games a month does that mean they’re no longer "fixers"?
From what I can see, they’ve already played 6 matches in the last week alone.
Literally 2 years ago was last ESportsBattle cup in CS

It’s crazy that there have been 67 editions, featuring mostly the same teams, yet the results have always varied
A Ukrainian player was convicted of fixing ESportsBattle matches. BETER runs the series, prices the betting on it and polices it. ESIC, its accreditor, tells TEA that structure "creates integrity risks and potential conflicts requiring external scrutiny."
