This company would hire crowds to cheer for a particular team, person, or animal hopefully changing the odds and thereby funding itself via slanted bets.

What if the agency could supply a pre-screened crowd?
Once cleared they'd be free to cheer for Man City in the
early kick-off then bussed over to cheer for Man Utd in
the 3pm kick-off and then up to cheer on Burnley in the
late kick off. |

Even after the current restrictions are gone, there are a
lot of advantages to this idea - so far, we've been relying
on amateur crowds which are prone to all sorts of poor
behavior. This crowd could give the impression of a
hostile partisan atmosphere, but the players on the pitch
will be secure in the knowledge that they're unlikely to be
pelted with a section of seating or D-cell batteries. <link>
Similarly, the pro crowd could tear into the ref, but
without any foul language being picked up on the
pitchside mics, which should protect the kiddies in the TV
audience... Perhaps the crowd could even self-censor
"The referees' a bleep-er!" |

A professional crowd could even orchestrate a traditional
football riot, pre-planned and practiced, a few trained
stunt-doubles in the mix it'd be like pro-wrestling but
x10,000. |

How about crowds of robot fans being controlled via sophisticated
telepresence links by real fans sitting at home wearing VR
headsets? Everyone wins: the game gets fans in the stadium and
the ‘atmosphere’ and sound that comes with a stadium full of fans,
and
the fans get to cheer for their team and watch the game. |
