Also I just call BS on this.
There is no way a guy is going to pay a closer to rig the game. There is absolutely no guarantee that player will be able to affect the game. So what happens if you paid him say 10k to blow the save to win your 100k bet, and they go to someone else? Or what if they are up 3, call him in, he lets 1 in, and they yank him and some other dude comes in and closes out. That does not sound sharp to me, there is too much risk in having the closer be the dude your gonna use to rig the game. You'd be paying the starter off IMO.
If anything, I think a more likely situation would be, he would wait until the 9th inning then live bet the shit out of the other side knowing his dude is going to blow the save.
Oh and lastly, why in the penetrate would this guy waste him time telling you he is rigging games...
