I've made my last NBA bet.

[No coincidences]

Again, consider who it happened against as well. An imploding team who had the choke of the year last night on the road and had to go B2B in Denver.

[cruyff]

Such bullshit.

[tealish]

Had Denver won by 9, or even 12, I'd agree. Combine the 13-point win with 31 points in the second half, though, and I'm sorry, I'm not just going to be naive and say it was a coincidence.

So if Nene missed ONE less FT, you'd think the game wasn't rigged?
You're giving the players too much credit. It's extremely difficult to control all the variables to produce the perfect margin of victory of 13 just to screw us. Seriously, now.

[tealish]

And I think after you cool off from this loss, you'll bet the NBA again. I give it, oh...24 hours.

[Jedi]

again. It is ABSURD to think that games are fixed. They are capped insanely well, by very intelligent people that have been doing so for a very long time. That is the point. That is how they harvest all of our money.

If they were in fact fixed, it would require the absolute cohesion of dozens (minimum) of people.. people get drunk, they brag to their mistresses.. they blackmail one another.. there would be no way to keep a conspiracy like this hushed up..

it is merely the illusion of a pre-arranged event, like gambling itself.. the illusion of success, where largely the very opposite occurs...

there is no one on the Hornets side are making that observation

[peeiempee]

Wow that hurt...up by 20 by half

I wish I could believe all of this -- that the game was just well-capped and that it's "absurd" to think games are fixed. Classic. You're either young and naive, or haven't been in this game for very long.

And BTW, the bolded is bullshit. Again, I've been on the right side of plenty of pre-determined covers before. Never felt totally comfortable about it. If I had NO at +14 tonight, I would've obviously taken it but it would've made my skin crawl and think twice about betting on another NBA game as well.

I'm saying there's a reason it ended up at 13.

[kobefanatic]

some games are fixed look at CLE @ DET +10.5 earlier this week, what did detroit do during the waning moments of the game? they fouled mo williams to make cleveland cover the spread, what can you say about that?

[No coincidences]

BTW, did you guys even watch the game? See the facial expressions and body language in that second half? Because I did.

[Domestic]

Glad I was busy today, thought that game woulda gover ober haha.

[PAULYPOKER]

You guys are whacked there was no reason for the game to be fixed the money was even as it could get and with the final 4 tourney going on the money wagered in that game did not even break the top 15 bets in other words it was petty cash to the books

[lyon804]

Did not bet the game or watch the game, but when Denver only gets 31 2H points against a pourous defense that is tired in NOH you certainly have a right to question something.

31 points in 24 minutes against a team that gave up 10 in a little over 1 minute last night to start the fourth quarter. And we're talking about a comeback at Denver vs. a collapse at Curry-less Golden State.

Come on, fellas. Think about it.

[BernardMadoff]

I can see this happening in college as I think the players are in on some takes, dont see any incentive in the NBA though.

[Jedi]

two options, same conclusion:

A) if betting the NBA makes one imagine conspiracies that fix games..

-- or --

B) if games are in fact FIXED, and NO amount of capping will help...
and 'impossible' to effectively determine which games are the fixed ones...

then in BOTH cases... best to avoid these circumstances altogether

BoL in the future...

Line didnt change much throughout the day, opening line same as closing line, if Denver fixed who wins? Nobody.

[ClimbSomeRocks]

So it was just a coincidence that it ended up 13?

OK.

zyou of all people should know, there are NO COINCIDENCES!

[BigDaddy]

all nba games are fixed.

I was agreeing with you.

No coincidences, the only one NAIVE here is YOU.

I would estimate the Nuggets payroll per game is approximately $1,000,000 and when you add that to compromising the integrity of the entire NBA which is already fragile, I would estimate the chances of this game being rigged at about 100,000 to 1.

There are all sorts of reasons why the Nuggets laid an egg in the 2nd half but the truth of the matter is they were up by a ton and coasted through the last quarter and a half.

I would like to point out that I DESPISE the NBA and just assume the entire league fold. 90% of the players are absolute HUMAN TRASH who would be in jail if there was no such thing as basketball. I'm saying this to point out that I am not biased in favor of the NBA or any of its players.

As far as the game ending on 13. YES IT IS COINCIDENCE and thats all there is to it.

If you think the NBA is fixed, then don't bet on the games.

[KiDBaZkiT]

I didnt bet this game but was gonna take Denver, glad I didnt. I dont like laying big chalk especially on a TNT Thursday. NBA is definitely rigged and also where amazing happens. i will never forget a Portland at Houston game getting a stiff one up the ass when Steve Blake tried to miss FT so they could get the rebound, only shot they had to tie it up or win cant remember even the announcers acknowledged he had to do it, he hucks the ball at the rim with no arc it hits front iron rolls up over the rim bounced around the cylinder about ten times and dropped and I got ****ed by a half a point.

[Jedi]

i like BIG DADDY's observation. They are all fixed.

weather too. i bet 'Sunny' today dammit!!

[fury]

Yes, NBA games are more rigged than WWE, but you can be on the right side of the fix.

[No coincidences]

I know -- I was just enhancing your argument.

One question: if this is how you feel, why in the hell are you on an NBA gambling board?

[Fed_42420]

So the team that was obviously going to win the game, won the game. And thats a "fixed game" ????

[Qbasa]

Same circumstances, different game. What do you think is going to happen tomorrow between Minnesota +15.5
and the Lakers?

[No coincidences]

Are you serious?



There's this number called a point spread....

[jsmithj88]

this is plain ridiculous
who in the world would want to fix an NBA game on the day the NCAA tourney starts?
how many people are actually betting enuff money for them to make it worth fixing this game?
MAKES NO SENSE, get over it.

[Qbasa]

Same circumstances, different game. What do you think is going to happen tomorrow between Minnesota +15.5

Following all these assumptions that Denver lost the lead cause they were winning and couldn't care less how much. I'm putting 1 unit on minn tomorrow and if they lose be sure to see my rigged thread tomorrow.

[onlooker]

Damn, there is a fixed game almost every night. I wish I could get the tip. But with all these fixes, don't you think they would start to get caught?

[xxxvince]

hopefully its more fun during playoffs

[art_pogi]

many games are like that...maybe a gamefixed or a coincidence...

[azn624]

sorry you lost but games are not fixed, just too hard to fix games imo
