tracking NBA referees who are bet makers/killers
Ok after last night's Celtics/Hawks game, I've had enough. The referees last night single-handedly determined the outcome of that game. I can't get into every detail, the info is out there. 3 techs were called including Doc Rivers ejection and the refs went to Celtics bench intimidating them, egging them on. Flagrant fouls by Hawks, nothing.. everything called on Celtics.. C's charging to basket getting hacked to bits, no calls.. Hawks were illegal screening all game, no calls.. Perk turns his body, illegal screen. 33 foul shots for Atlanta. 18 for Boston.
This is BULLSHIT. Rivers post-game did not retract anything. He said his players played hard and fair. Pierce went along the lines "sometimes you get calls, sometimes you don't", ( he has to say that because if he criticizes the referees, they will target him and he could even get fined by the NBA.)
I need help in identifying who the refs were last night and as a handicapper cannot bet on the Celtics with that same crew on the court.
We should pay attention to what refs favor what teams, and identify some gleaming traits about outcomes. The NBA is in scandal. Although I do not believe players are involved in game-fixing, I do believe that some bet on their own teams. The referees are being pressured by the mafia, Donaghy's expose was not a "lone criminal" situation. Stern is a joke. The fouls and techs are determining winners and losers. When an average of 40-60 basket shots are awarded in every NBA game by referees, indeed most created by their whims, THIS IS A FACTOR as handicappers we need to identify traits of these "officials".
How can we do that ? where is the listed game refs and are they announced before game time ? It is a shame what the NBA officiating has become, but as cynical, jaded bettors we need to look past that and include it in our decision-making processes.
