Perry was not involved but I have a feeling he must of known King was doing something dodgy so he decided to put King through the wringer by missing some shots to.
For me a more telling issue is not that he missed those shots. What is more suspicious to me is that on all of those misses he did not even attempt to play position. If he was trying to make those shots he easily could have positioned the Cue-ball in an optimum position but he just took a whack at the shots, seeming to be playing them, but the cue-ball is just willy-nilly with respect to position. That to me is far more damning.
whats daming is the betting patterns. you dont even have to look at the game. There is almost no money placed on small random matches like this normally. So When a large ammount goes on it sticks out like a sore thumb. Snooker players and Criminals are not intelligent.
Youre right there Christopher I would say that all things considered he likely did not play the cannon/carom to pot Blue so the pot was accidental. That said, concurrant with my earlier observation, he should not have been near the Blue at all if he was legitimately playing position on his next shot.
@@Rabid-Pinocchioit was a thin cut on the only red he could realistically pot using the rest, he was always cannoning into the blue, he probably didn’t expect it to head straight for the pocket.

Higgins didn't throw any matches you bitter fool. He was cornered by a gang who he discussed throwing matches with. He didn't actually throw any matches and he was never going to.
You dont have a clue what you’re talking about, he never fixed matches, what he did wrong was he never told the authorities that he had been approached. Maybe before you write shit on an open forum like this you could actually do some research first
@@abdulmuhaimin4666 Yeah of course he spoke about it because he had to answer to the charges.

If a bloke goes out on the piss and gets in at 4:00am and there is a note from his wife saying for example that her mother is ill and so she has gone over to look after her, if he wife phones him in the morning and during the conversation she asks what time he got home last night, do you really think that he will say 4:00am? ......Then when she tells him that she checked the doorbell camera app on her phone, he is in trouble. John Higgins was banned and fined for saying he would match fix and for not reporting that he had been approached to do so, he was not banned for actually match-fixing itself.

Defo fixing as no thought of positional play wanting to miss and let his opponent win frame 5 years not long enough, good to see this sport under investigation as been snooker fan for years but last few years has seen some of top brass players taking a fall to nobody opposition clearly not just of day bookmakers have influence over results, same as the horse racing 1/7 get beat regularly, anything u can gamble on gets fixed
YES! John Higgins should have been thrown out of the game many years ago got caught taking a bribe for match fixing, but only got a slap on the wrist and a paltry fine, different rules for the top of tree players. R.
Except that John Higgins did not get caught taking a bribe for match-fixing, which probably explains why he was not thrown out of the game. He was banned and fined for saying he would match-fix and then for failing to report an approach to do so. He was not banned for any actual match-fixing because there was never any evidence that he actually did.
Anyone who has reached a certain level of play can recognize when someone is pulling off shots. Here in the US and probably worldwide, this is how hustling works. I’ve played snooker one time and I can spot this behavior with him.
I totally agree. I've been watching and playing snooker for 45-odd years, and certain shots he missed (plus total lack of positional play) makes this the most blatant case I've seen. He might have gotten away with it had he not missed by such a wide margin. If he was a rubbish player.....maybe. But he certainly is not.

Not only have I watched snooker for nearly 50 years, I was a house pro at a prestegious snooker club in Vancouver and part-time referee, in Canada. I've watched, studied and examined all of the minutiae of the game and played a fair game myself. Not at the professional level but I know the game pretty well. I'm not here to beat my chest but to respectfully disagree. Sure people have bad days, sure even pros miss and sometimes if something is in their head the can play pretty badly, and sure perhaps you could say that is just Mark's game but if you look at my post you will see why I'm inclined to agree with the ruling. To wit, I don't even care that he missed shots, some rediculously badly, what is much more telling to me is that on those shots that he missed and even a shot where I believe that he was trying to miss an on Black but made it anyway, but all of those shots, including the Black that he potted, he made absolutely no attempt at position. That is a much harder issue to explain away than simply missing the pot. Look at the video again. You have 30 Yrs. Experience, Pay attention to the positional play and ask yourself would ANY legitimate player have played the Cue-ball that way?
That's an appalling defence from Mark King. I hope he never plays snooker again. Talentless thug. Also Fatty Lee can never be trusted again - what a waste of careers.
Considering he admitted to being a compulsive gambler it’s probably very easy to fall in the trap, he’s ranked 52 that has been the lowest since 1998 Snooker is a strange game 90% mentality, top 64 can all make centuries and play the right shots, but it takes a rare breed that has mental ability to win all of the time
Imagine that. You’ve just had the worst match of your life and then you find out that you’ve been suspended because no professional player can be that bad. Don’t kick him out. Just a bad day at the office.
If you knew even a little bit about pool, you would see how obvious it is. Go virtue signal somewhere else. Everyone knows this asshole is guilty. Have you even read about the betting patterns mentioned? Or course not. Just shut the fuck up.
He's actually a very good player, so even if he was slightly off-form, he still wouldn't be missing that poorly or frequently. Such a shame. Snooker has a dubious recent history of match fixing on betting scandals, it's very sad to see the game brought into ill repute almost every season these days.
The snooker governing body was alerted to this particular match by irregular betting patterns. One has to assume that this match would otherwise have gone totally unnoticed(?) 🤔
That's exactly what happens, irregular, but very lucrative betting patterns when all added up, bookies know instinctively when they're being robbed, because they're so very good at that themselves 😉
im a non pro 9 ball player but ive tried these shots on a snooker table, I made half of them, as I say im no pro, I wouldn't expect a pro to miss by so much
Any update how long he will be banned for this is a year ago . Suspended pending an enquiry? How long does it take lol. Personally there shld be no way bk for him . He was a bang average player anyway .
Some or those misses are way off. Just shows that missing balls, without it looking deliberate, is harder than you think. You have to ensure that you definitely miss, and you put that extra effort in to ensure that. But end result are misses that can be called into question.
Very few snooker players had access to a private snooker table,the majority learned to play in seedy billiard halls where cheating and gambling was rampant it’s not a squeaky clean game
Why would you think he would be better than that...."a tournament" in all the years of tournaments he entered. He's older than O'Sullivan Higgins & Wiliiams yet when was their first tournament win lol amd when were their 30th's etc...😂
The guy was probably in a load of debt and the temptation was there. These guys get paid fa for playing snooker professionally unless they get far in tournaments. Look at the bags under his eyes, looks stressed.
Yet we have on video john Higgins with his manager sat there ,asking how he can launder the money for throw ing a match ,can i buy a villa in Portugal he says ,,6 month ban because hes a golden boy 😮
No, a 6 month ban for bringing the game into disrepute. If you discuss the possibility of assaulting someone or robbing a bank, will you be convicted of assault or bank robbery? I think you know the answer to that! Higgins did not, at any point, actually fix the outcome of a match, therefore he is not guilty of match fixing. Your narrative is both tired and unintelligent, based on nothing more than simplistic emotion!
Shocking, no way he should be missing all of them shots, thrre is some skullduggery going on here ,I hope iam wrong , snooker players in general are honest ,
Does anyone have a link to the Higgins Vs Davis premier league match, circa 2008 that finished 3-3? I was shocked the authorities never investigated that match. Has to be what spurred the sting on him imo.
I play shots like that on a regular basis, nobody has ever accused me.
LOL.. I know the feeling.. as my mates all say.. "I'll bet he misses this"
That was like me up the Legion yesterday 😂
Yes but your not a professional snooker player. Big difference 🤣

Ha, i came here just to say, be funny if two guys were fixing at the same time. You beat me to it, and so did Perry, i guess 😂
You should have been banned for potting difficult balls as you are not capable of it 😂😂😂😂😂
Perry was not involved but I have a feeling he must of known King was doing something dodgy so he decided to put King through the wringer by missing some shots to.

To wit, I don't even care that he missed shots, some rediculously badly, what is much more telling to me is that on those shots that he missed and even a shot where I believe that he was trying to miss an on Black but made it anyway, but all of those shots, including the Black that he potted, he made absolutely no attempt at position. That is a much harder issue to explain away than simply missing the pot. Look at the video again. You have 30 Yrs. Experience, Pay attention to the positional play and ask yourself would ANY legitimate player have played the Cue-ball that way?
He was moaning about costs of travelling to China 4 times a year. And how only top 5 players make enough money to survive
That's an appalling defence from Mark King. I hope he never plays snooker again. Talentless thug. Also Fatty Lee can never be trusted again - what a waste of careers.
If King is missing constantly so many shots than definitely perry is also giving him equal opportunity to come back and play again. It's ridiculous
Considering he admitted to being a compulsive gambler it’s probably very easy to fall in the trap, he’s ranked 52 that has been the lowest since 1998
Snooker is a strange game 90% mentality, top 64 can all make centuries and play the right shots, but it takes a rare breed that has mental ability to win all of the time
Imagine that. You’ve just had the worst match of your life and then you find out that you’ve been suspended because no professional player can be that bad. Don’t kick him out. Just a bad day at the office.
Keep whisperin' that to yourself, ad nauseum, I guarantee you'll start to actually believe it.
If you knew even a little bit about pool, you would see how obvious it is. Go virtue signal somewhere else. Everyone knows this asshole is guilty. Have you even read about the betting patterns mentioned? Or course not. Just shut the fuck up.
Not just a bad day...I'm guessing there was a lot of money on 4 0 also
Did the bookies pay up!!?? 🤔🤔
He's actually a very good player, so even if he was slightly off-form, he still wouldn't be missing that poorly or frequently.
Such a shame. Snooker has a dubious recent history of match fixing on betting scandals, it's very sad to see the game brought into ill repute almost every season these days.
Very good player 😂😂😂 really 😂
@@AlanBrown-d8w better than you or me, mate, so yeah. If you think he isn't a good player, why aren't you a pro? Yeah. Exactly. Shut up, muppet.
If I was to pot any of those balls which he missed, I’d be making some arrogant proud faces. Most of my shots I play go no where near the pocket.
In fairness Mark King has always been awful. His highest ever break is 6.
No way. I thought Mark was a good guy.
Should receive a life ban if guilty.
The snooker governing body was alerted to this particular match by irregular betting patterns. One has to assume that this match would otherwise have gone totally unnoticed(?) 🤔
That's exactly what happens, irregular, but very lucrative betting patterns when all added up, bookies know instinctively when they're being robbed, because they're so very good at that themselves 😉
im a non pro 9 ball player but ive tried these shots on a snooker table, I made half of them, as I say im no pro, I wouldn't expect a pro to miss by so much
King'd missed more in 2 frames than he'd miss in most matches
People miss easy shots all the time. How the hell can they tell if someone is missing easy shots on purpose???
Any update how long he will be banned for this is a year ago . Suspended pending an enquiry? How long does it take lol. Personally there shld be no way bk for him . He was a bang average player anyway .
I've seen sullivan miss easy shots, to accuse someone of deliberately missing is a serious accusation
Some or those misses are way off. Just shows that missing balls, without it looking deliberate, is harder than you think. You have to ensure that you definitely miss, and you put that extra effort in to ensure that. But end result are misses that can be called into question.
He should get a gig as a actor he puts over a convincing facial expression. Unless he needs the loo
Highly suspicious. King is normally a good player, yet he's missing shots by a country mile.
0:52 anybody who can deliberately make that shot
shouldn't miss any of those others
Somebody said the cue ball had more hair on it than Mark Kings Head.... Hence the appalling shots
Even Willie Thorne had more hair!!🤣🤣
I was waiting for the first childish comment...you have won Primary School post of the year. Keep it up.
Are you kidding 😳
These are my best highlight shots 😬😂😂
I don't see anything wrong here. Just missed shots
badly missed shots and irregular betting
Stephen less was much better at missing he could hit the jaws of the pockets with laser procession
Very few snooker players had access to a private snooker table,the majority learned to play in seedy billiard halls where cheating and gambling was rampant it’s not a squeaky clean game
Why is he taking the place of many others who deserve a chance
Looks pretty Dodgy 😮
That’s a clear sign of match fixing missed to Many sitters ☝🏽
It's just sad...... He won a tournament . If it is true that he cheated. .. I thought he'd be better than that. I hope it isn't true
Why would you think he would be better than that...."a tournament" in all the years of tournaments he entered. He's older than O'Sullivan Higgins & Wiliiams yet when was their first tournament win lol amd when were their 30th's etc...😂
He’s just SIHT.
Banned for missing shots? Some mention of gambling, but nothing about that expounded on.
Sad sad times. Winning is never enough
The guy was probably in a load of debt and the temptation was there. These guys get paid fa for playing snooker professionally unless they get far in tournaments. Look at the bags under his eyes, looks stressed.
Still shouldn't have done it but he probably had his reasons.
The whole thing is nonsense when you simply can't determine if a player intentionally misses just because he takes a few bets on himself.
I know the feeling.I am banned in usa as well.
That red he missed over the middle😂missed by a foot Fof s pro jesus gives it away
"Fof s pro jesus"? What language is this?

Yet we have on video john Higgins with his manager sat there ,asking how he can launder the money for throw ing a match ,can i buy a villa in Portugal he says ,,6 month ban because hes a golden boy 😮
No, a 6 month ban for bringing the game into disrepute. If you discuss the possibility of assaulting someone or robbing a bank, will you be convicted of assault or bank robbery? I think you know the answer to that!
Higgins did not, at any point, actually fix the outcome of a match, therefore he is not guilty of match fixing.
Your narrative is both tired and unintelligent, based on nothing more than simplistic emotion!
Shauncorless8965 get ur facts right m8ty before you throw false alligations around🤡
@@darrensmith4279 I've seen the video and recording cheq out for yourself ,
@@darrensmith4279 Higgins and king would make the dream team in throwing games...
@@darrensmith4279Does that make him an alligator?
I stopped watching / banned him from my TV years ago. His attitude with a overly zealous disabled fan broke my heart. Boooo
Mark did seem hopelessly "Out of sorts"!
He's having a seriously bad day at the office give the guy a break
Wonder what odds he got
Most of these are not suspicious at all.
He only looks suspicious because he is playing Perry, who is shite
Shocking, no way he should be missing all of them shots, thrre is some skullduggery going on here ,I hope iam wrong , snooker players in general are honest ,
What's wrong with the shots...???
Imagine having a bad day and you get banned for being bad 😂
Does anyone have a link to the Higgins Vs Davis premier league match, circa 2008 that finished 3-3? I was shocked the authorities never investigated that match. Has to be what spurred the sting on him imo.
John Higgins gave him tips.
Stephen lee, Its my time to shine..
