Not an absolute equivalent. It would be quite possible to consider "meta-gaming" as an "offence" against the current tables you are playing on. In the case of "meta-gaming," of course, you're not dealing with outside bookies and a fix: you're just taking advantage of the fact that the current tables are not aware of what you're doing. At which point we come back to our old friend, transparency.

The cricket allegations, btw, appear to centre around spot-fixing. Now, even I, as a fanatical follower of cricket pre-Sky, find it difficult to care that a Pakistani bowler has overstepped the crease on the third ball of his fifth over. Criminal? Yes (if proven). Would it have made any difference to the game? Hardly.
