    So you dont think NBA is fixed
    Yesterday, 5Dimes posted a 1H under/over for LAL/Mil at 66, which seemed like a mistake and it was changed before action was taken on it. First half score in the game 67.

    Then second half under/over set at 98. "Hey they only scored 67 first half, gotta jump on under 98" Looked good until 4th Q when the teams, who just combined for 67 in first half score 61!!!

    Also a small hint, at end of Cavs game LBJ was shown mouthing to Mo Williams with 9 seconds left, "No, no shot" and he held the ball and did not take a final shot. That one could just be "Hey dont rub it in" but where is the fun in that.

    HMMMMMMM

    Shouldn't you be trying to figure out who actually killed Kennedy?

        why would you take the under 98 for 2H? it was a steal considering it's like getting the game line for 165. who wouldnt take the over in that??

          That doesnt make sense...if it was fixed, they would have scored less than 66 since 99% would have absolutly taken the over.

          Im not saying the NBA isn't fixed, clearly the refs could be fixing game, im just saying that argument isnt the best to make your point.

          Also the cavs game that final shot wouldn't have affected any major spread. Could have been a case of just ending the game to get outta there.

            If you bet using numbers instead of as a fan, it works perfectly. I dont care if its fixed or not, I just bet like it is.

              if you think the NBA is fixed, then start wagering the book side instead of the public side of games. report back in a month and let us know if you have the same opinion.

                I won't say that fixing games does not exist in pro sports but I will tell you that your argument is completely far fetched.

                    Yea, and going off your theory about the half being at 66. Then you should have taken the under for the game.

                        Landers, u say that last shot in cavs would not have meant anything to any spread, but u are incorrect my friend. 2nd half line was Port-2. If cavs score, they win by 14 and cover 2nd half, but I'm glad they didn't score and port only lost by 12 and I cash . Just wanted to point that out.

                            Ohh i didnt know the second half line. My opinion hasnt changed from what I said earlier, though. I guess it could have been but it just seems out of whack that they would put that much effort into fixing 1 2nd half line.

                            The goal on sports betting is to be on the right side of the fix Glad you cashed though man

                                      All sports are fixed. jjgold, Nicky Santoro and Fishhead sit in a dark room at night and fix the games while rubbing each other.

                                              NBA refs definitely manipulate the scores to help cover spreads, no doubt in my mind

                                                        if someone said "underperfom while on the job and i'll take care of you," you'd listen.

                                                          Then second half under/over set at 98. "Hey they only scored 67 first half, gotta jump on under 98" Looked good until 4th Q when the teams, who just combined for 67 in first half score 61!!!

                                                          Also a small hint, at end of Cavs game LBJ was shown mouthing to Mo Williams with 9 seconds left, "No, no shot" and he held the ball and did not take a final shot. That one could just be "Hey dont rub it in" but where is the fun in that.

                                                          HMMMMMMM
                                                          Your Cavs "example" of the NBA being fixed is possibly the dumbest argument I've ever seen made. Do you watch the NBA regularly? It's fairly usual for the winning team to run out the clock at the end instead of taking a meaningless shot which would be consider unsportsmanlike. Lebron in particular always holds the ball at the end of games and has purposefully gotten 24 second calls before instead of taking an extra shot.

                                                            How about the fact Miami has 2 points in the 4thQ with 5 minutes left.

                                                              Cause they are shooting like shit, it happens. Wade sprained his wrist early in the game as well. Dont get me wrong NBA is fixed, but only to a certain degree and certain games. As far as your complaint about last nights Cavs game, PLAY SOME ****IN D PORTLAND! Not even Vegas knew LeBron was gonna destroy them for 31 points in the first Half, he was what 11-13 at that point? you cant rig that.
