Higgins should have never been allowed to play snooker again he's just as bad if not worse than the other players who got caught, even now I turn the TV over anytime that cheats on
After that, I stopped watching. That sick TV commentary and inviting his family along to a tear filled celebration of a later win was like another BBC "This is your Life, Jimmy Saville".
6:17 Lee's ban worked really well. Considering all those after him, more or less got away with it, with a paultry fine, and nominal ban, until the chinese players got banned. His ban is also up this year. It will be interesting to see if he is welcomed back like Higgins was.
It's not AI. That is a real person posting all those comments. He does it in lots of snooker videos. Post a reply in the thread, and he'll launch a barrage of nonsense replies attacking you.
Ok..that answers my question in 10 seconds...i was like how do you cheat on a pool(snooker, I'm from across the pond) table...saw the title and I'm like how tf? Swapping trick balls...see through pocket blockers...but all makes a lot of sense now...lol
Higgins playing on after that stopped me from following the snooker scene. Was Stephen Lee's actions THAT much worse than Higgins? The same punishment could have been justified. Let say 5 years -to keep people away from doing it, but also a chance to regret, learn and comeback.
I know for fact basketball is a cheating sport too. Yet no one ever got banned. On one of the game Lakers play on their home arena against a weaker team. Lakers gave handicap to the other team and ended up get hammered on the first half. Second half they gave additional handicap to the other team. People betting on the Lakers for the first half suffered a huge loss, while the group pulling the string got filthy rich. Second half people lost confidence on the Lakers so they bet against Lakers, Lakers ended up winning the game and whole lots of people get fked. Clearly rigged betting but no one ever got banned or investigated because they’re too big to be touched.
What happened with John Higgins opened the floodgates, by telling every player it is worth taking the chance, he should have received a lifetime ban, the evidence was there with no chance of denial, one wonders what has he got on some of the senior officials involved in the game, as even now there are times when some of his shots are questionable.
@gavinfalcus8512 Was he not sat in the chair next to him, agreeing to throw the third frame, one of four, for €300,000? Why would it just be his managers fault?
Didn't see any proof of cheating here and I was expecting that's what this vid was about and not just rehashing news stories that were already common knowledge.
The cheating is already "common knowledge" as you say. But why is there a need for proof? He may be rehashing news stories, as you say, but did you not see Higgins on video, agreeing to throw frames for €300,000?? That not proof??

Higgins should have been banned for life.
How higgins got away with 6 month ban is a joke. They even had video of his agreement to match fixing ffs.
I guess the snooker authorities agreed with his explanation.
He didn’t cheat
The intent was there. He agreed to a meeting with a dodgy guy. Then agreed to a sum of money for throwing a frame/game. If he had any integrity as soon as the suggestion of cheating was raised he should have walked out and reported it to the authorities. Also the reporters must have had info that he could be bribed....
@@gavinfalcus8512 Dirty as they come.
@@castleanthrax1833 They wrote it for him.
Higgins should NEVER have been allowed to play again!!!
I will never cheer for a cheater like him!
Higgins should have never been allowed to play snooker again he's just as bad if not worse than the other players who got caught, even now I turn the TV over anytime that cheats on
Get an education he never cheated, he got suspended for failing to report his manager
I'm not making any excuses for Stephen Lee but he seemed to get treated much harsher than John Higgins.
Yes plus he needed the money for cookies.
I will never trust snooker again, Higgins got away with metaphorical murder.
After that, I stopped watching. That sick TV commentary and inviting his family along to a tear filled celebration of a later win was like another BBC "This is your Life, Jimmy Saville".
i like to see you saying the same to darts and EPL :)
Wenbo had a team of Chinos match fixing, others placing wagers good riddance to bad rubbish.
Higgins didn't actually cheat - he just told some people pressuring him that he would to get out of there. Note he isn't shown cheating here.
In any sport where money is involved, there will always be cheating
2 minutes in and we are treated to a minutes worth of ads!!! Let's see how the next 8 minutes 27 seconds go.........
6:17 Lee's ban worked really well. Considering all those after him, more or less got away with it, with a paultry fine, and nominal ban, until the chinese players got banned.

Higgins never reported it because he was guilty. There is no other reason for not coming forward . Should have had a lifetime ban.
Too much waffle, not enough illustration/demonstration…
There is nothing wrong with cheating when a game is really difficult. stop shaming cheaters 😡
Everything including sport can be fixed it’s so easy to do and get away with
can you provide more details of match fixing and practical examples etc for Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong??
Just search the internet for it.
Cheat or not… Stephen Lee has a Rolls Royce cue action, would love to see him back, he’s served his time
I agree, the crime is John Higgins being caught on camera and still gets away with it!!

Who knew snooker was as bad as boxing for tryna rig stuff
Damn, i liked Mark King :/
Bro your effect sounds are way too loud especially that camera sfx
Players hv to stick on a betvictor logo but themselves can't bet. Not fair
If you want honestly you need to choose the countries that cheat and bar them.
