What sport is the easiest to 'fix'?

Sports events can sometimes be manipulated by unscrupulous people, and it is important to know which sports are the easiest to fix. Football is the most popular and profitable sport, and as such it is the most likely to be targeted for match fixing. Basketball and tennis are also highly vulnerable to match fixing, due to the lack of regulation and the large number of matches played. Cricket is also a sport that is vulnerable to manipulation due to its unique scoring system and the fact that it relies heavily on the opinions of umpires. Horse racing, on the other hand, is more difficult to fix due to its strict security systems and regulations. In conclusion, football, basketball, tennis, and cricket are the sports that are most vulnerable to match fixing.
