    There are a lot of very suspicious incidents and scoring patterns in certain games but the vast majority of it is clean in my opinion.

        I have seen games that were undoubtedly fixed. Are all of them fixed? Of course not... but to say it never happens would be an act of lunacy.

          Let's start with using the word "here" instead of the word "hear" and then we'll move forward with the discussion.

            Very true. I think they let them play but make them aware of certain lines that exist. Den was just up big, they let Utah right back in it. They did the same in the first Q.

              Refs determine NBA games ATS more often than anyone would think, IMO. And Coach Knight's opinion. A whistle here and a whistlre there, right in front of millions of viewers.

              Then again, some will still dispute this to no end even with the proof via Timmy Don.

                                    Stern wants them to allow it so they get a bigger cut.

                                                I do think many sports leagues are fixed. There is too much money involved in something so trivial and let's be honest unimportant as sports, to not have it be controlled and scripted to some extent. This is especially true in the NHL (see last year's All Star game, and the entirety of the playoff finals), and it is all for more money.

                                                You dont know what goes on behind the scenes, it's a business. Most billion dollar businesses have shady dealings going on.

                                                Fukking ignorant people just try to be more mature about it and claim there's no fixing end of story. Psychologically, I've deduced that they aren't even OPEN to the possibility because

                                                A. it would mean all their handicapping and bullshit hours spent on research was just a waste of time.
                                                B. if they are a fan, finding out their beloved sport is just a sham

                                                All ignorant people do is cry 'conspiracy theorist' and then shut their eyes and ears so they can live in their blissful ignorance

                                                    every sport with a big gambling base has been fixed at one time or another. the question is: is it still being fixed? and how much? and how much would deter you from betting on it?
