Betting fraud

On the one hand, it is virtually a matter of course that I have to talk about it at some point. On the other hand, it is also the case that one has to be extremely careful with any form of accusation as well as we talk about “cheating”. So I have to keep myself…

Betting fraud

1) Introduction Once again I may quote this sentence here, and here it does have a special meaning: “Whoever wants to bet, also wants to cheat.” Originally, I maintain my opinion that the quotation originates from the fact that in the dim and distant past, a betting offer came about like this: “There are 400,000…

Zweitligakommentare vom Wochenende 15.-18.10.2010, dem 8. Spieltag

die hier aufgezeichneten Kommentare wurden bemüht „zufällig“ ausgewählt. Es sind Aufzeichnungen aus dem Programm des Senders Sky Deutschland Die Idee ist es, die Mangelhaftigkeit der Berichterstattung aufzuzeigen, da diese sich aufbaut auf angeblicher Mangelhaftigkeit der Fußballspieler, welche, selbst wenn korrekt erkannt, noch immer nichts im Kommentatorenmund verloren hätte. Es werden permanent Fehler erkannt, welche die…
