    LOL -- this league is so corrupt
    I'm watching the Pistons/Celtics game, because sadly, I'm a Pistons fan (don't have a penny on the game itself). Pistons are up 30-25 at the end of the first quarter. Scoring continues until there's a little over two minutes left in the half, and then all of a sudden, both teams start standing around and firing up bricks like there's no tomorrow. So the half ends at 98 points. I go to check on what the 1H total was -- sure enough, it's either 99 or 99.5.

    Two points were scored in the final 2:11, and yep, it went under.



    2:11 43-53 Paul Pierce personal foul (Kyle Singler draws the foul)
    2:11 43-53 Chris Wilcox enters the game for Paul Pierce
    1:59 Jeff Green blocks Kim English's layup 43-53
    1:58 Kim English offensive rebound 43-53
    1:57 Kim English misses layup 43-53
    1:57 Pistons offensive team rebound 43-53
    1:57 Jonas Jerebko enters the game for Andre Drummond 43-53
    1:39 Brandon Knight enters the game for Kim English 43-53
    1:39 Celtics 20 Sec. timeout
    1:35 Brandon Knight shooting foul (Brandon Bass draws the foul) 43-53
    1:35 43-53 Brandon Bass misses free throw 1 of 2
    1:35 43-53 Celtics offensive team rebound
    1:35 Khris Middleton enters the game for Brandon Knight 43-53
    1:35 43-54 Brandon Bass makes free throw 2 of 2
    1:23 Greg Monroe bad pass (Chris Wilcox steals) 43-54
    1:15 43-54 Jeff Green misses layup
    1:15 Kyle Singler defensive rebound 43-54
    1:07 Jonas Jerebko bad pass 43-54
    0:50 43-54 Jordan Crawford misses 23-foot three point jumper
    0:49 Jonas Jerebko defensive rebound 43-54
    0:43 43-54 Brandon Bass personal foul (Rodney Stuckey draws the foul)
    0:43 Rodney Stuckey makes free throw 1 of 2 44-54
    0:43 Rodney Stuckey misses free throw 2 of 2 44-54
    0:42 44-54 Jeff Green defensive rebound
    0:31 44-54 Jeff Green misses
    0:30 44-54 Celtics offensive team rebound
    0:20 44-54 Jordan Crawford misses driving layup
    0:19 Greg Monroe defensive rebound 44-54
    0:00 Jonas Jerebko misses 26-foot three point jumper 44-54
    0:00 Pistons offensive team rebound 44-54
    0:00 End of the 2nd Quarter

          Nocoin...You never seem to mention the games where the cover is totally wrong or the total is out (Which by the way is the majority in Both cases)

            You make two assumptions, first the best way to go under would to be to get close to the total then brick shots at the end, instead of mixing in the missed shots earlier to make it less obvious.

            The second being that the under is is the side that is needed for the books to win money, and they involved multiple players with MULTI MILLION dollar contracts risking going to jail and losing their career for the sake or a book who clearly would lose money if they paid millions of dollars to all of these players in on the fix.


            Does this seem likely to you? Honestly, sit back and really think about it for a minute.

              I can't speak for the other games -- I'm not watching them. This just happened to be going on in the game I was watching, and I thought it was weird that with two minutes left in the half, the body language changed out of nowhere, the pace slowed to almost a standstill, and the scoring just stopped. That's when I went to my computer to check and see what the 1H total was.

                I wish I could show you a tape of the last two minutes of that half. Are you watching the game?

                Just a coincidence I guess.

                  Which is exactly why I don't play totals. I don't really have an opinion on whether I think certain NBA games get fixed. But I do know that totals are much easier to fix than spreads. Therefore I stick to spreads and not totals.

                      Yeah because you can bet billions on first half totals. And the whole world was on the over yesterday.

                        Idk it's hard for me to grasp that the 1st half total in the pistons celtics game on a Wed night with a handful of other games and MLB on was fixed

                        Just hard for me to believe that there was that much $ wagered on the Over 1h in this game where Vegas would make the call

                              I agree w/ above poster....Do u really think all the players were told to rig the 1st half under but then went out & scored throughout the first half @ a rate that would send the game way over & then w/ 2 min left say oh s#it, we have to stop scoring now
                              Do u realize how many millions it would require to pay off multiple multimillionaires to make this happen??
                              Not to mention not a single one of them has become disgruntled throughout their lifetime for whatever reason & come clean & ratted the conspiracy out.

                              Believe it or not no scoring for 2min happens.

                                    Your not alone...In College it is beyond obvious and once you get accustomed to seeing it on that level...then simply apply it to heavily bet NBA games and you will start to notice...it more often than not. I cannot fathom how people bet totals in the NBA. My utmost respect to those who can break even....ML's regardless of the fix are fairly easy to nail...but those totals...definitely playing with fire..

                                      Yes, sure fire way to know something is up is to watch the abnormal amount of ticky-tack touch fouls called early in the half/quarter.

                                      I remember watching a game where there were two away from the ball (off camera too) touch fouls to start the fourth quarter, and come 9:00 left in the fourth, the one team (think it was Dallas) was already in the bonus, shooting free throws the rest of the way.

                                      The non betting casual betting fan of the game never notices those touch fouls.
