The Economics of Match-Fixing, Asian Betting Markets & Football Governance with Dr. David Forrest – THE HUDDLE BREAKDOWN INTERVIEW

In this special interview episode of The Huddle Breakdown, James and Alan are joined by Dr. David Forrest, Professor of Sports Economics at Liverpool University, to dive into the murky underworld of match-fixing and football corruption. Dr. Forrest breaks down the staggering scale of unregulated Asian betting markets, how criminal syndicates infiltrate clubs, and why an elite referee admitted it is “dead easy” to rig a game with just a single defensive mistake. The panel also debates the “extortion” of the American franchise cartel model, the unique vulnerabilities of leagues like the League of Ireland, and Alan unpacks the glaring statistical anomalies that suggest Scottish refereeing suffers from a deeply ingrained cultural bias rather than financial corruption.Want to support the channel? – https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?
