Hell, of course not! This is not the same thing at all!
It all depends on the coefficient. Those who make predictions analyze games and the team's ability to win. Bookmakers do the damn same thing. This is what the coefficient is based on. If the team's chances of winning are small, the odds are higher; if the chances of winning are high, the odds are lower.
You can just as easily rely on bookmakers’ indicators. And you will always lose in the long run, since the size of the winnings will not cover the costs and risks.
Fixed matches are a result that is known in advance, as the bookmakers and match organizers have agreed. This is how they earn excess profits.
Fixed matches that are sold on a legit website on the darknet are information leaks. Someone in the football business is selling information. And we buy it.
This doesn't work 100% of the time because sometimes organizers change their plan at the last minute. If many bets were made that were unfavorable for them, they cancel the agreement.
The accuracy on the site we are talking about is approximately 75%, I learned this from my own experience. The odds are enough to calculate the number of matches and bet size to make a profit.
