We all know point shaving goes on, especially in the college sports but can its nearly impossible to prove. You have to catch the point-shaving deal taking place before game because you can't prove somebody is cheating in a game of basketball for missing a 3 or a FT at the end of a game.
How common do you think this is in the NCAA, I mean I can see why a player would do it, your not being paid much and if you don't have the talent to make it big-time its the easiest money your going to make.
I don't think its as common in the NBA due to the money involved in the sport, a player isn't going to point shave for a fraction of his weekly wage. Now I know about match fixing in soccer, especially in the lower leagues in Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Russia, it does go on but in basketball its so easy to rig because of the nature of the game.
I'm no expert in College Bball but a friend was telling me its more common than alot of people think and that following the sharp money is the way to go in this sport especially in the games that attract less public attention.
What are you guys views on this?
