If you were an official would you fix games?

[Smoke]

If you were NBA or NCAAB official would you bet on the games you officiate and call them to your advantage? Be honest

Yes I would and have beards place the bets for me. I would be crooked as fukk

[Illusivecone]

No, unless I was a PT NFL official. That they have PT refs is disgusting

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Nah. I'd become a MLB umpire and try to help the Cubs win a world series.

[Kalibongo]

Only if my last name is Donaghy.

[zoo youk]

Your really asking this on a gambling forum? Lol

[zoo youk]

The real question is could you get away with it?

[Cuse0323]

Of course

[marcoloco]

no way. thats like saying if you work at a bank would you steal money? not worth the risk

[Djstucky]

I would try and fukk duke (as a NCAA official) and the lakers (as an NBA official) every chance I got...This wouldn't necessarily be for money but moreso because I can't stand them...these fukkrs wouldn't have a chance in hell on the same court as me with a whistle...

Well only 1 factor would determine that for me - money. Which way can I make more, and the answer obviously is fixing rather than just taking my usual salary. Bottom line, it DOES happen in this world and if I'm given the opportunity to make money at it, so be it. Honesty and money do not mix paths

[Smoke]

I'm not saying every game
Don't want to get caught easy
Certain spots
Would also need a few beards to place bets

great quote.

Of course I would. Think about how easy it would be make a couple calls that would easily change an outcome. I would probably only try to influence the OU and not the team who wins. Basketball or football you would only need to call some extra fouls/defensive penalties to effect the number of points.

[Speedy88]

No, no, no, no unless you are a greedy person.

I'm about half way through reading Tim Donaghy's book and the guy definitely made a big mistake. There are definitely better ways of getting away with it, but why risk it when you are living the dream of making 250k a year and being on the big stage.

[Kindred]

ncaab refs would be stupid not to be fixing games..they can't be getting paid enough to not need some extra coin. NBA official was fixing games, you think a guy working a game at one of those small schools is above fixing a game you're crazy.

should be a way to keep track of refs over under records..but there's not

gayest game ever..guys fake fouls drama queens yell going to the hoop even if nobody touches them..it all rides on refs judgement.
