Didn't see the segment. 35% stands out as a huge number. But that number is from all of the leagues and all of the divisions of those leagues in all the world. There's probably a lot of match fixing in, like, the 2nd level of the Tunisian league or something like that. The top leagues from the top nations? Not so much.
