Since cricket is not very popular around the world, how do betting agencies make profit out of cricket? Isn't betting the sole source of match-fixing which has caused several scandals in the past?

Cricket is the no 1 sport in India , Pakistan and Bangladesh. Just add up the populations of these three countries. Moreoever, these countires suck in almost all the other sports. So this entire huga populace has no other sport to bet on. So they all bet on cricket. And that makes betting so profitable

Cricket would be not so popular in the world as FootBall, but the betting level is much more higher in cricket.
The reason for this is the type of the Playing in the Cricket, you are not sure of any thing in the Game of Cricket, even a 11 player in the team would make you win the game by hitting a six on the last ball (this is not yet happened)
Match Fixing : this is what sucks the most in the game of Cricket, this is not allways, but some players had made it worst form the bad....
so Enjoy Cricket and don't think about Match Fixing....
