    There's a million other things you can bet on (and that you can rig) besides who wins.

    If that date is accurate, wouldn't that have been a friendly? Who the heck bets on a friendly?

    That was a "B" team friendly for us. Way to go Sallies.

    Yup, here's an easy one: time to the first goal kick. Win the opening kickoff, kick the ball around and then lazily boot it down the field across the other goal line. First goal kick 10 seconds in. Win!

    Also works on a throw-in as well. Even if you lose the toss and start with the ball in the second half, can put this on as an in-game bet for the start of the 2nd half.

    People will bet on anything. Actually smaller leagues and friendlies are the easiest games to fix because it's easier to get people to throw them

    22 players. WOW. If it's proven that they did participate in match fixing, I hope they all get lifetime bans. This kind of shit shouldn't happen.

    Some pretty important players are involved, too, including Rodolfo Zelaya, who seems to be their best player.

    Ask yourself who bets on the Canadian Soccer League and you have your answer.

    Punters get hungry for action, especially on international breaks and in the Euro off-season. There is a betting line on NWSL games.
