Why Olympics are NOT fixed, and individual games are LESS fixed while Cricket matches are ALWAYS fixed
.
In Individual games, a player losing is modelling income when he loses. So no money for losing can make up that loss
,
In any tournament, which uses knock out system i.e,. moment a team / player loses, he is knocked out and cant reach top - chances of fixing are less
.
In individual games, when it is one vs one like Tennis, if a star player loses,his ranking against a player who has lost less often goes down. So the players' own reputation goes down and his modelling income will take a hit.
.
Now in cricket, a player is "allowed" to under perform once in a while . i.e. even if a star player goes dud in say 1 out of 10 games, loss of modelling revenue will be negligible. So he can perform well 8 to 9 times, and at 10th time, when punters have betted that he will perform well, that player can go dud, and bookies will earn millions. He can then share the loot with bookies. IOW, TOTAL income of bookies, sponsors and player INCREASES when a star player under performs once in a while.
.
Also, when a team loses, the blame will NOT fall on one player and so each player can escape blame. Whereas in one-one games, when a player loses, only he will get blamed and he cant escape the blame. So each players in a winning cricket team can think "evem if we lose this match, I will NOT get blamed, my modelling revenues will NOT decrease , and bookies are paying a lot for me to lose this match". IOW, losing a match for winning team is net gain.
.
Also, in olympics, number of players are large - 100s. So if two players A and B decide to fix the game, and A decides to lower his performance, so that B can win, then chances are high that some C who is NOT fixing will win, In many games, such as 100 meter running, the gaps are now below 0.1 seconds. So fixing is now PHYSICALLY impossible.

But consider India-Pakistan test series. There are ONLY two teams. So if a winning team decides to lose, so that losing team wins and bookies earn more, then some third team can come and defeat both. So fixing is viable and profitable
.
So you can compare any sport with cricket. And it turns out that fixing is viable in cricket and MORE PROFITABLE to the "winning, but deliberately lost", while in other sports, fixing isnt viable and NOT MORE PROFITABLE for "winning, but deliberately lost",
.
Now I support match fixing just the same way I support movie fixing. eg in case you guys dont know, the fight between Amrendra Bahubali and Bhalladev was fixed !!! The script writer had decided before the fight started that Bahubali shall win !!! And each step in fight was scripted !!! Now, if this fight between Bahibali and Bhalldev was NOT fixed, and was made sponteneous, then movie would have been less entertaining.
.
Same way, all Kaun Banega C when star like AmKh or Shrimati Dixitjee etc appear are all fixed and scripted.
.
Likewise, all TV-interviews are fixied. eg consider legendary interview that Arvind Gandhi gave to paid Sardesai or paid Brakha. It was all scripted and fixed. And consider legendary interview that Sri Modiji gave to paid Arnab in around march-2014. That too was all fixed. And interview that Rahul Gandhi gave to bikau Arnab was also fixed. And question-answer session of Sri Modiji with students on teachers' day was also all scripted. The students were parroted to ask questions, and Modiji knew question paper in advance and had rote all answers and also memorized what face expressions he would bring while answering !!! But they should lean from cricket match scripters, The interview scripts of all leaders were superb, but no way close to excitement that script of Mumbai-Pune IPL-10 created.
.
So cricket match fixing INCREASES entertainment. And it is NOT unethical and does NOT weaken the country. And so I have always supported it. Same way, I support interview fixing, because over 99% of audience knows that all interviews are fixed, and so there is no harm done and entertainment level increases.
.
My point is - we should first see - does cricket match fixing dos any damage to nation? NO And cricket match fixing increases entertainment and also revenue. And so dont be some rent-a-cause liberal and oppose match fixing.
