Dodgy matches in Finland

I have been frequently asked to talk about this and fixed matches in general in Finland. Unfortunately there are a few well-recorded cases like that of Allianssi  and Mr. Ye some years back and some others that really are no secret to anyone with interest in the local betting market, but I have a good reason to hope that it is not as common as some people might think.

Yes, I do have guaranteed info of a few fixed matches and also matches where the opposing clubs have intentionally lost vs. Finnish clubs in the European competition. But there is a but; where to draw the line when talking about proven cases, likely suspects and just wild rumours?

---------------
The line was here. I do not want to get involved in casting a shadow on anyone whose team mate has probably taken part in match fixing. There were also last summer some very strange market moves in some matches at Veikkausliiga, Ykkönen and Kakkonen, but in most cases the teams whose odds crashed also happened to lose the match in the end - so the market move was based on wrong facts or the players played wrong. Rumours take place easily on a vulnerable market like this.

Sorry guys, I know it would make an interesting topic but it will not be discussed here any further. For the Newsletter customers there will naturally be a warning in case there are signs of any foul play.
