If you are going to fix matches surely one must go for short odds accumulators rather than long odds upsets. Basically a treble with say Man U to beat Villa, Man City to beat Reading and Real Madrid to beat Espaniol wouldn't raise too many eyebrows. If the results of the matches are predetermined the odds don't matter. Organised criminals can afford to front up a decent stake. It also launders dodgy money. Once you have a cheque from a bookie, that money is clean and tax free.
