Fix?

The odds for a Shakhtar Donetsk and Juventus draw are incredible. Some bookmakers are offering 5/6 for the draw. You will never find odds like that for a draw, it is practically unheard of.

It makes me think the bookmakers know something.
Juventus also have a history of fixing.

Do you think a fix is on the cards or is this just paranoia from a Chelsea fan?

You can only hope I was right about match fixing? Why would you hope there is match fixing?

I don't think the match was fixed. I watched parts of the game and it looked as though Shakhtar wanted to win, judging by their body language etc.

It is incredibly rare to get Odds on for a draw. I've only seen evens a few times previously. I wish I had placed the bet now, I do have to wonder if there was fixing. It's more likely that the punters had information rather than the bookmakers, who then placed disproportionately large sums on a draw.

Why do you wish you had staked money on the draw? Juventus won the match 0-1, you would have lost your money.

You would be surprised by what the bookies know but I suppose they were merely adjusting the odds according to the situation.
