Insightful and well-researched, shocking even if part of it is true: the role of the mafia and professional gambling syndicates play in fixing soccer matches around the world, including games at the highest level. Well written, and surely well-researched, given that Hill did his PhD on the same topic! ( ) A fantastic look into the world of illegal gambling and its threat to the integrity of sports. Declan Hill travels around the world trying to discover why people fix soccer games and how they do it. He uncovered some shocking truths that will make any sports fan cringe. Match fixing occurs around the world and there is virtually nothing that governments can do to stop it. I will never look at soccer the same way having read this book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
The Fix is the most explosive story of sports corruption in a generation. Intriguing, riveting, and compelling, it tells the story of an investigative journalist who sets out to examine the world of match-fixing in professional soccer. From the Introduction Understand how gambling fixers work to corrupt a soccer game and you will understand how they move into a basketball league, a cricket tournament, or a tennis match (all places, by the way, that criminal fixers have moved into). My views on soccer have changed. I still love the Saturday-morning game between amateurs: the camaraderie and the fresh smell of grass. But the professional game leaves me cold. I hope you will understand why after reading the book. I think you may never look at sport in the same way again. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
