What are some examples of game fixes in different sports?
In USA, we all know of "Black Sox scandal" in baseball.
The little known event (simply because billiards isn't a mainstream sport) is the 1991 Challenge of Champions.
To clarify better, this is the first (and last) billiards tournament on which Vegas opened betting action. Mike Lebron was 20-to-1 to win the tournament.
I love the 2:15 mark of the video, where Buddy Hall makes a pre-recorded, great trick shot, only to cut back to the action of him making terrible, amateur-esque misses/scratches.
