I have a question for you regular soccer Bettors

I've been wagering on live games and doing fairly well

But one thing I've noticed is a lot of times in these games when a team is up 1-0 very late, the other team somehow manages to score a goal just before the game ends, to end in a tie

My question is:

A. Do you believe this happens because the team losing is overly aggressive out of desperation and comes thru with the goal?

B. Do you think some of these games are fixed internally and allow the last minute goal for wagering purposes?

C. Do you think it's a combination of both sometimes?

I am not a soccer betting expert but I watch a few local games and I mostly agree with the A explanation. End minute times are always critical not only for the losing team but also for the other team. Both teams become aggressive.
I thought the same thing Genie

But the more I watch and follow this, the more fishy stuff I see at the end of games

Yesterday, I watched a few episodes of the "Captains of the World" on Netflix, they cover the World Cup 2022 event and it's an amazing feeling watching the excitement from soccer fans and also feeling the emotion from the side of the players.

There's no difference in losing 1-0 or 2-0 so weaker teams try to keep games close. If it's a 1-goal game then in the last few minutes they can throw the kitchen sink at the leading team with a view to getting a draw. It's always been that way. Same principle as pulling the goalkeeper in hockey.

That's an interesting point you're making! I’ve noticed similar situations where teams that are losing late in the game push really hard and somehow manage to score. To me, it often seems like desperation and a bit of luck. But yeah, you never know—some lower leagues can be questionable when it comes to transparency.

Oh, and recently I stumbled upon Morocco Onex while looking for live soccer betting options. Just thought I'd share in case it's helpful.

Depends on the league, you might just be seeing games lately where someone scores late. Plenty of times they don’t. 1-0 or 0-1 85th minute and that’s how it ends. You have to see which side is up. If the road dog is up then sure, the favorite can tie it late.

I follow the sport and gamble on it more than anyone on this forum. another thing betting the sport is people see a red card and think goals galore with a man advantage, no it’s actually the opposite. The team down a man will pack the box and completely stop trying to score themselves.

Absolutely all of the above. Sport is fixed at high levels - same level of fixing that goes on in NFL/NBA games.

Today’s Liverpool match perfect example - how do you go 90 minutes without giving up a goal only to see 2 in extra time ?

Shouldn’t complain as I was on the visitors -1.5 - but walked away thinking I had a loser only to log back on and seeing money in my account.
