NBA= rigged

[Fitchian]

I vow to never bet on sports again. I have come to the conclusion that most professional sports games are rigged. And almost everyone is in on it, including coaches, players, referees, and even broadcasters. Every fucking TNT game is a joke. The public always gets fucked because Las Vegas controls sports and owners like Cuban of the mavs and Buss of the LAkers are degenerate gamblers who wouldn't blink before ordering their star player i.e. Kobe or Dirk to play a certain way during a game so that they can cash in. David Stern i believe is the leader of it all. IF you watch a TNT game closely or even an ABC NBA game, the referees, players, and coaches talk to each other during every stoppage. Is it just me, or is this shady as hell? I DO NOT want players talking to referees unless they are arguing a call. I thnik they r going over the script so that no one screws up. And you might say, "well they cant control what shots go in," this is true, i think, but they can control the type of shot they take as in a low percentage fade away or a 3 footer in the lane. People have to open their eyes and realize that gambling is a huge problem in America and even star athletes get sucked in. Gilbert Arenas admitted to playing online poker at halftime. Is that not outrageous?!? And thats just the tip of the iceberg. In a f ew years, all the shit will come out and these bastards will be put in jail for fucking innocent people out of millions of dollars each and every night. I could go on about other sports and other examples, but its late and im tired. So, keep tryin to beat sports, its impossible.

The only thing that is fixed about betting sports is that "EVERY PLAYER on EVERY TEAM is a PROFESSIONAL" and anybody can win on any given day...

There have been number of scandals related to gambling in the 20th century alone numbers in the dozens.
Before point spreads, it was risky for a gambler to attempt to manipulate a game. He had to find a player who was willing to lose the game in return for a bribe. But although it was risky, manipulation happened often. In the early 1900s, gambling was a well-known, if not well-liked, part of professional baseball. Gamblers gathered in one section of the stands, placing bets on everything from the winner of the game to the outcome of the next pitch.

This control came to the public's attention in 1919, when the Chicago White Sox lost the World Series to the inferior Cincinnati Reds. By the start of the next season, it was revealed that eight White Sox players had been bribed up to $10,000 each to make sure that their team lost the series. These eight players became known as the "eight men out." Although they were eventually acquitted of criminal charges, none of them ever played professional baseball again.


Point spreads lead to a more subtle kind of manipulation -- point shaving. College basketball is particularly susceptible to this practice. If a team is favored by eight points, gamblers don't have to bribe players to lose the entire game. They just have to convince them to win it by less than eight points.

Football has been the target of point shaving efforts as well. It has long been rumored that the final outcome of the 1958 NFL championship game was affected by substantial bets (as much as $1 million) that the owner of the Baltimore Colts had placed on his team. The Colts were favored by three or four points. In overtime, the team was in a position for an easy field goal, which would have won them the game by three points. Instead, they kept trying for a touchdown, which they eventually made, winning the championship and covering the spread. No real evidence was ever found that the owner actually influenced the plays called on the field.

One of the most famous betting scandals of recent decades involved former all-star baseball player and successful manager Pete Rose, who compiled a 412-373 won/loss record managing the Cincinnati Reds. In 1989, investigations revealed that he had made dozens of bets for up to $10,000 on baseball games, including betting on his own team. He was subsequently banned from baseball for life.

A controled outcome to any "gambler" offers an advantage. Find the Rigged games and bet the other side.

i always think that same thing....if sports were rigged...there would be a jose canseco that would come out and write a book or try and make money on it. Some shmoe that didn't think he got enough in his playing days or thought he got screwed would try and expose the whole thing, IMO, if it was fixed.

See you tomorrow dude.
