All jokes aside it always amazes me when I see how much effort people are willing to put into learning how to cheat in general, instead of actually learning how to trade. Everybody would love to find a way to trade without any real risk, but that whole approach just seems incredibly naive, because (calculated) risk and losses are a normal part of trading. Even if you do manage to cheat the markets somehow, the skill set that you acquire is rarely sustainable over the long period and it can easily be rendered obsolete at any time for whatever reason, because obviously the markets evolve and change over time. You are far better off redirecting your focus elsewhere and investing your limited time into developing a scaleable skill set instead of tunneling on the wrong things.

Not sure if anyone mentioned but someone wrote a book on courtsiding in tennis recently, although Euler did shed some light recently on that whole subject. The nature of tennis markets is rather unique, the way that they constantly have to adjust after each point is what attracts cheaters, so you'll probably not find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than a tennis market on Betfair, but there are legit traders present as well. There's nowhere to hide on the ladder of a tennis market, you can't really camouflage your stakes like you can do on other markets so you can actually see what everyone involved is doing if you pay enough attention. A decent Forex trader should obliterate these sports markets, the edges that you can find and develop on literally every sport are ridiculously strong compared to anything that you can ever develop on Forex as a solo trader.
