For Green Fields - Pele
The Football is Fixed Network produce three Newsletters for industry professionals and keen supporters - the Newsletters are entitled Maradona, Messi & Pele.
The latter two Newsletters are fully subscribed and are very unlikely to yield any available spaces for newcomers but we are markedly expanding the Pele strata for the Euros and season 2024/25.
Below is a sample of some of the content from the Pele Newsletters over the last week (the Newsletters are published on every day where a Premier League match takes place).
If you are interested in subscribing then a reduced rate is on offer covering the remainder of this season, Euro 2024 and all of next season.
You can stay ahead of the corruption in the English game for just £50 per month or £500 for the entire period.
Payment may be made via For Green Fields - Pele or via Bank Transfer.
You may contact us at footballisfixed@proton.me or through the Contact Form on the web version of the Football is Fixed Blog.
The sport of football is under the thumb of organised crime and our Newsletters are the only source of information on this takeover.
Thank you for your time.

Regression
Late capitalism provides a full spectrum of regressive templates utilised to enact class war and increase inequality.
So.
Joe Lewis (the former Spurs sociopath) is merely put on probation by a New York Court over "blatant insider trading" while there are African Americans serving life sentences due to the abusive "three strikes and you're out" construct which results in people being incarcerated for eternity for, say, stealing some mince from a fridge.
Meanwhile in Amsterdam, Alex Kroes (the CEO of Ajax) has been found guilty of insider trading shares in the club in the period prior and post his appointment to the summit of the entity.
No sign of a ban or a fine or a Court case or a prison sentence here either.
Of course, the previous Ajax CEO, Edwin Van Der Sar, was involved in the Onana / Ten Hag doping scandal before stepping down last summer over other issues that were in the pipeline.
One of Tony Bloom's favourite aphorisms relates to the reason why Asian Handicap markets are superior to Fixed Odds ones - "you can price up Brazil versus Brackley and a certain range of handicaps will provide realistic performative odds.
So, if Brazil v Brackley is estimated as a 23 goal differential, you will be able to back Brazil to win by 24 or more or on Brackley to lose by 22 or less and achieve a market price in the vicinity of Evens.
But, Asian Handicaps are also regressive.
There are events where we know the goal differential e.g. Liverpool v Brighton or Liverpool v Sheffield United in the last week.
But there are also events where we only know the outcome and not the score differential.
In this latter case, we are forced to take a defensive position on our trade as we don't possess the information to maximise our profits...
... that benefit is only available to deep insiders.
In events like Brentford v Brighton, it isn't an issue as the match was always a 0-0 draw but in Nottingham Forest v Fulham where we traded on the hosts, we had to accept a market position that didn't provide the profits relevant to being correct by over two goals.
Time
It is high time that time-keeping was taken from the hands of the on field referee and is determined as in Rugby by a clock that is stopped at appropriate times.
There is already far too much power designated to the referee without allowing this extra manipulation.
This situation has been enhanced this season in the EPL by the imposition of excessive injury time not warranted by the realities at play.
In the last week, we had 15 minutes injury time in Sheffield United v Fulham where there were 8 second half substitutions and one VAR call for offside (which was dealt with promptly). There was also a one minute delay for an injury to the improbably named Ollie Arblaster.
So, where did the other 9 minutes arrive from?
And at Stamford Bridge on Thursday, the initial injury time indicated was 7 minutes which was then mysteriously inflated to 8 minutes before Chelsea scored their equalising and winning goals in the 100th and 101st minute of what turned out to be a 103 minute extension.
It was swag man Gillett who distorted Chelsea v Man United and Messi & Maradona people should check Kerkyra 3.0 and Tiraspol 4.0 for some of the stuff that we will be releasing on the rogue Aussie ref and his cohorts when the time is right.
Criminals distort time while, relativistically, we seek perfect time.

Aston Villa v Brentford
Insider trading. Who cares?

Luton v Bournemouth
Can't wait.
Wolves v West Ham
Beyond anodyne.

2nd Draft
Aston Villa v Brentford
A cracking match up between the Villainous and the Bookie.
Kavanagh and Salisbury are the arbiters - how lucky we are having these beacons, beacons I say, of integrity in the PGMOL stable.
And why shouldn't Matthew Benham have a little major punt on the side, any side?
The man has put so much into his own pocket, should he not be allowed to bulge that wallet further?
And Matchbook?
Not allowing winning accounts and using machine learning to target the vulnerable?
Trickle up economics is the only game in town, my friend.
More to this match than meets the eye.
Much more.
We are blessed.
Everton v Burnley
Two sides linked in fascinatingly interesting yet inappropriate ways with an unknown points penalty hanging over one and Armageddon being the residence of the other.
There are so many people in Manchester from Burnley (and Preston).
If Burnley (and Preston) weren't landfills, we wouldn't have to put up with this intrusion.
Rwanda.
There's a solution.
Let's keep the refugees and dispatch Burnley and Preston to Kigali.
Mysterious forces govern the outcome of this exhilarating football match between two of the great historical names of English football who now reside in the sort of gutters where war criminals, mafia and 777 reside.
If only I could be there...
Oh!
And Michael Oliver is referee.
What a man!
What a world!
Fulham v Newcastle
Fantastic news that Sheikh Bin Salman is in Stockley Park on VAR for this one.
It can only improve the efficiency of the VAR process to try out guest officials to try to improve the service.
There must be a chance of the first beheading in an EPL game.
Let's hope so.
We need something to brighten our tedium.
There is a desperation to make Eddie Howe and his weird assistant look capable so that as many SWUC clients as possible (plus third party owned bods) can grab a slice of the Saudi Aramco / PIF action into the future.
We think that Newcastle will not lose.
If we say it early enough and loud enough, they might well lose.
If we wait until kick off and say that we think Newcastle will win then there becomes a little bit of chaos in the old communication departments.
If we type the last paragraph but really think Fulham are going to win then we are playing that doubled spy narrative we love so much.
And if we were to say, we couldn't really give a flying fuck who wins, might that be nearer the truth?
Who knows?
Who cares?
The only purpose for this version of the sport is gambling.
Thank God for gambling!
Thank God for Joe Lewis!
Thank God for Benjamin Netanyahu!
Proper people. Proper stuff.
Luton v Bournemouth
What a match up.
A crappy old ground in a subhuman town on the outskirts of the only metropolis receiving a visit from the Sandbanks crew.
And what about the way that Luton manager puckers up to himself on screen when he notices his visage displayed for all on the big screen.
Sweet narcissism!
Clench those teeth. Twinkle those eyes. Ignore the footie as Bankes is the eyes, while Mr Madley is sentenced to a day in Luton.
A mad game is expected because there is too much shenanigans in the pipeline.
Last chance saloon is approaching for little Luton...
... unless some more points can be lopped off Everton for repeat offending or Forest for sacking Cooper and dropping that useless American keeper represented by Wasserman.
Anything could happen in Luton, apparently.
Wolves v West Ham
Beyond anodyne.
But we know the outcome.
And it's...
... more anabolic than anodyne.
It's strange how football matches become more rosy once you can profit from them..
... that must be the peak pleasure a matchfixing mafia man ever achieves.
But Hammers and Wolves and Old Gold and Bobby Moore and days of yore and a crafty draw no bet position on the Asian Handicaps.
Fucking bliss!
Originally Published on April 6th 2014 - A Thing Of Beauty
By far and away the most intricately structured markets on planet Earth are those created (literally, created) by Tony Bloom.
This is one of many many many areas where his enemies underestimate him.
The quantum collapse on the Brentford v Brighton 'event' in midweek was stunning in both its audacity and execution.
Nobody else gets anywhere close.
And today's game is obviously no outlier.
And when I claim a creative beauty of market infrastructure control, that is exactly what I mean.
Mr Bloom orchestrates.
He is the Great Quantum Conductor.
All praise, all praise...
Now Arsenal are kind of fucked because FC Bayern audaciously and deliberately lost to Heidenheim this afternoon.- although we mock the concept in the majority of cases, there are occasions where an under performance prior to a major event is a quantum advantage).
For the tilt on that particular event at this particular time, we analyse that if Arsenal beat the Seagulls this afternoon they are in effect conceding 0.25+/- goal v Bayern on Tuesday.
Not literally, of course, but on a quantum level, yes - a quarter of a goal or thereabouts.
You'll just have to take our word for it if you are not hot on the old configurative sub-models.
So.
Arsenal had just over an hour to decide on a strategy after the FC Bayern game ended...
... an immensely destabilising lead in to an important game and a superb flank assault by the Bavarians.
Football is like war.
And.
Finally.
Bloom's trading is tremendous today.

This is now it.
For the remainder of my trading life, it is Quantum Market Analytics (QMA) that will form the bedrock, an ever-varying quantum environment of a bedrock, but a bedrock nonethefuckingless.
For years we utilisde neural nets / machine learning and a whole variety of Bayesian constructs and there is value in these loci - pattern recognition is a valuable input to corrupted matrices (in the former case) and incremental adjustment of price (or whatever) via inputs of newly breaking externalities is merely a neoclassical version of QMA (in the latter case)..
The movements in hyperreality are not linear, they are not of limited dimensions, they are dominated by quantum entanglement and other feedback mechanisms and they are discreet.i.e. the wave function collapses to the hyperreality.
It's not AI that will solve corrupted infrastructures but QMA that already has.
Behaviouralism, corruption, security operations, organised crime, insider trading, a lack of regulation, a constant state of quantum flux, loopholed (or absent) regulation, military strategy, the falling in and out of collusion, the quantum configurations - this is so much more than pattern recognition at speed.
This is my pitch.
QMA is now my thing.
Originally Published on April 13th 2024 - Huge bad Luck
Huge bad Luck
In an act of poignant irony unbefitting of the man the Manchester United manager has changed his name by deed poll from Erik ten Hag to Huge bad Luck.
In his weekly destruction of the concept of sentences, ten Hag blamed not just "bad Luck" but "Huge bad Luck" for everything that has gone wrong under his inept stewardship.
Huge bad Luck is the character that ten Hag should have played in 'Breaking Bad'.
He would have had 'MISFORTUNE' graffiti on the wall of his gated community (lower end) property.
Soon, ten Hag will be Old bin Bag when Ratcliffe (who doesn't suffer fools...) hoofs him into touch.
With the first legs of the two German v English UEFA ties tilting against Arsenal & West Ham, it looks like 4th place will be needed in the EPL to achieve Champions League status next season...
... unless they target Manchester City as promised.
If / when that occurs, we will be in the season that never endeth. City will sue to the stratosphere and beyond, Forest and Everton are keeping their powder dry but if either are relegated there will not be a Premier League to start in August.
That's what happens when you let the mafia fuck around with your sport.
Anyway ten Hag...
Hilariously, Manchester United insider trade their own demise which is enlightened, I guess, in a twisted dystopian sort of way.
And so over the course of the day we will be collating evidences from the global market infrastructures to let us know where the conspicuous money is tilting.
I know.
Let's have a market...
... 1.20 that 'Arry will be at the Bournemouth ground today and that a television camera will record that fact for posterity, our posterity, 'Arry's posterity.
Bless.
An Event!
Two managers who enjoy the ear of a wee man who messes around with things, in his own little way.
Eddie is useless but everybody is trying to pretend that he isn't useless so that PIF will keep signing outstanding players like Hall and Lascelles and Barnes from the SWUC grouping of shysters.
Nobody at Newcastle has any idea of MBS's strategy for the club so, in response, Alan Shearer parrots the virtue of Eddie (nice set of teeth) while the other pundits parrot "you're right, Alan, he's done a great job under the circumstances. He brings so much".
Ange isn't useless but seems to have decided that the way to sneak into the Champions League is to undertake weird and unknown rituals in the dressing room at half time, where magic happens, miracles even, as a team of lumbering heavy-legged underperformers suddenly morph into 11 Usain Bolts for the second period.
Ange must be truly inspirational.
Like Claudio Ranieri.
And that little Arteta chap.
And the guy caught between the fanbase and the oligarch at Liverpool.
So, the refereeing appointments are key as will be the insider trading and the SWUC influence and all those sort of things.
Magic.
A Non-Event
The media desperately wants to make us care about Chris Wilder and his diaspora of fake accents - the most recent piece of unintentional genius was when the snarling one told us all about being a proud Yorkshireman in an accent that hovered between Thomas Shelby and Ken Dodd.
Magic.
So Sheffield United are fucked unless Man City, Forest & Everton end up below them after the appeal process concludes in 2029.
Brentford aren't fucked but are being battered by the enemy camp and so need to have their wits about them.
A certain organised crime entity is seeking to devalue Brentford to lessen the cost of 'associates' buying in to the club and to undermine Benham financially.
When Toney goes, Brentford will struggle.
We bet Chris Wilder goes full effect Jamaican patois today.
1/8 is on offer.
Brentford will be market focused today.
Barrott is referee.
We are going to be hearing a lot about Mr Barrott into our future.
Hillbillies v Seagulls in Armageddon
Burnley sort of function like the Underbelly universe, a chaotic random walk of pseudo-professional constructs that, in turn and in parallel, collapse into nothingness in the most entertaining ways.
Mr Bloom is betting and that can only mean one thing, profits!
We believe we have deciphered today's market architecture and we will be looking to profit ourselves from this poker play attached to a Premier League game.
The undermining of the beauty of Brighton by organised crime has been the most dispiriting of a whole long list of dispiriting things that have been perpetrated by inappropriates this season.
The season with the permanent Asterisk *
Permanent Asterisk *
Liverpool, Newcastle, Arsenal, Villa, Palace, Real Madrid, Luton, Real Madrid, Chelsea is City's current run and the media is excited because, in MastersWorld, just one single point covers the Top Three in the Great Handicap Hurdle EPL Title.
This spectacle is of course fake.
We estimate a 24 point spread between Man City and Liverpool without 'stuff going on' and, furthermore, City were robbed in the year when Liverpool used doping and refereeing to great effect.
So let's have an Asterisk on that season too.
And the one where Leicester City cheated themselves to a ludicrous fake.
We are now in the era of the semi-permanent Asterisk.
Sheffield United are taking a two point penalty down with them - we predict Wilder goes Dutch a la McClaren on this one - "... but we start season like this? Why is it so?"
And Leicester, if promoted, will have a points penalty too while a whole new 'points penalty arbitrarily given to enemies of organised crime' comes online in August.
There's only one thing worse than mafia...
... and that is incompetent mafia.
You're supposed to make the trains run on time, not blow up the tunnels.
City versus Luton sandwiched between two Real Madrid 'finals' - lovely
The Fat Man & The Fined Manager
Nottingham Forest are being targeted.
Wolves are being targeted.
Bournemouth under O'Neil were targeted too last season.
Brighton are being targeted.
And Brentford.
West Ham too.
And Fulham.
And, obviously, City.
The siege mentality generated by unjust justice and captured process is one of the few real rivalries still existing in a sport where players earn half a million per week but fans have to pay 2% more because the Guardian and some captured pseudo-academic from Liverpool University say it should be so.
So, at Manchester United, there are going to be ticket price increases while Ratcliffe is bidding for the state to pay for a new stadium while the Glazers carry on shafting the edifice via the fruits of their leveraged buyout and Ratcliffe consolidates his position as Britain's richest 'man'.
Pay your own tabs, you leeching bastards.
Originally Published on April 14th 2024 - The End Of The Title Race?
Liverpool v Crystal Palace
If Thursday's massive reverse at home to Atalanta in the Europa League proved anything, it proved the following.
Liverpool ain't so hot when they don't have influence over the match officials and, once the fan base and the owners are at loggerheads, the morale and performance plummets.
The key question today is regarding the latter of these two points as Kavanagh and Oliver are internally selected by the Scousers.
Football without fans is nothing but football where the fans are confronting the financial powers at their club is problematical and can lead to home advantage actually being a home disadvantage.
There is no value in the Fixed Odds prices available on Liverpool particularly as insiders from one of these clubs are trading against Klopp.
There's some key money to surface pre-kick off though (this Newsletter is being prepared at KO minus 2 hours).
West Ham v Fulham
Tricky for the Hammers with this event being shoehorned in between the two Bayer Leverkusen Europa League Quarter Finals.
There is not expected to be any insider trading from either club on today's match.
Not very much at stake although we prefer Fulham at the prices.
Arsenal v Villa
A monstrously tricky event as a certain club aiming to rob the EPL title will be using all of their considerable powers to stop Arsenal from winning...
... while the key team competing with Villa over the Champions League place are utilising their connections to stop Villa from performing...
... while David Coote is doing whatever a certain entity tells him to and consequently has involvement in favour of one of the participant teams.
It's fairly inevitable that, if you have a fake manufactured title race, then the illicit machinations in the run-in are going to be a layered collection of fakes on the foundation of a holistic fake.
This title race isn't special...
... it's a semi-systemic corruption.
Enjoy.
