Roll up, roll up for the best league in the world and the "fixed game". The whole of the Argentina has been talking about this game for weeks. The betting community has been awash with rumours that this game is fixed. Bookies, originally, were alseep to the rumours and then took the game off the boards. Some still are not offering prices.
For what it's worth I don't believe this is a fixed game. Ok one look at the prices tells you something fishy is going on but I really don't buy it.
Fixed game or not Quilmes are more than capable of beating Racing. And if they do then people will say "I told u it was fixed". As the Quilmes coached said yesterday: "It's as if people only think we can only beat Racing if they let us".
Let's get to the rumours. Independiente, Racing's arch rival, are sitting in the 3rd relegation spot. Tonight's rival Quilmes are sitting 5th from bottom. A win for Quilmes will edge them closer to safety and Independiente closer to the trap door. They say some of Racing's "Barra Bravas" have been threatening Racing's players that they must lose this game.
There is one massive flaw in the "fixed game" theory and that is Argentinos Jrs. They are dropping like a stone and on current form they will be relegated instead of Independiente. So even if Racing throw this game, it doesn't make Independiente's situation any worse.
Quilmes are 1.57 to win this game and that is just insanity. IN a "normal" game I would have priced them up at 3 to win this game.
Quilmes are missing their best player Miguel Caneo. Quilmes have only won 2 of their last 7 home games. Quilmes have been in poor form recently.
Racing are a good side but a very inconsistent side. Their record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats speaks volumes for them. But my god there is no way on god's green earth should they be 8 to win at Quilmes.
Their best player last season Ricardo Centurion is due to start tonight after coming back from injury.
I might end up with egg on my face but at 1.57 I'm prepared for it. You just have to lay Quilmes for a lot of money at that price. Also must back Racing at 8. Massive value.
In my opinion this is not a fixed game.

There's £10k saying it's not a fix, albeit not taking too much in the way of normal risk.

Summary of OP is:
Mediocre team 1.6 to win at home when should be 2/1; won 2 of last 7 and best player out -> if this isn't a fix then it's value of the century |

would it not be better backing racing at a nice big price
|

By:
Probably but since something like 97% of Argie games finish 0-0 having the draw in your arsenal is a good idea

For my strategy the lack of and the standard of the streams. I'm sure Wimbledon will probably be similar. And also - mind this is probably a knock-on effect - the shocking liquidity in so many markets.
