So in Levitt’s book “Freakonomics” there was proof of match fixing in Sumo-wrestling.

So if it’s statistically provable of cheating in sumo wrestling, why would it not be possible to consider a model for proving / disproving cheating in Football - specifically Scottish Football?

Maybe the reason the referees strike didn’t last too long ?

We’re a broad church - bound to have some stattos/maths dudes out there - any (serious) thoughts?

The evidence would be there.If it’s the accountable organisation committing the crime what can anyone do?
Is cheating at football an actual criminal offence?
Some clubs are up against it
