It is interesting, that it is difficult to find definitive proof, based on objective reason, as to why match fixing is either right or wrong. I can't provide any of these proofs.
All I can say, is that this debate also exists in the world of sports, and their take on it is quite relevant. I am certain that the officials in sport have contemplated this situation numerous times, and their decision is clear, it is wrong. Professional athletes often destroy their careers by believing that what they are doing (fixing matches) can either; not be proven, or is not wrong.
And if you still think you won't get caught, or you think that there is nothing wrong with it, try it, and you see what happens, because this topic makes it clear that the majority of FIRST has decided that such dealings are illegal.
Please comply with the wishes FIRST and remember that winning is nice, but not essential.
