Basketball is so fixed is outrageous

I think someone had the Lakers ML...

If you're somsure it's fixed then winning should be easy, just get on the right side of the fix.

It's called gambling, which means you are taking a big risk.. Why is it so hard for people to understand that???

cockblocker · 02-17-11, 11:24 AM

Cavs were the more motivated team, simple as that.

$Burm$ · 02-17-11, 11:26 AM

lol, im hoping you didnt take them on the ML

wrongturn · 02-17-11, 11:36 AM

I guess he just can't understand how any big favorite team with odds -1000 or bigger can lose a game. Supposed to be free money handout.

face · 02-17-11, 11:42 AM

yea i mean you lost so what i lose 5 or 6 bets a day the trick is to win 6 or 7

NYER5680 · 02-17-11, 11:43 AM

No such thing as free money hope he didnt go "ALL IN"

Get real. Books make Money Either way, it's called Juice or the vig

AZ*SUN*iBET4FUN · 02-17-11, 12:27 PM

Get real. Books make Money Either way, it's called Juice or the vig. Different team to then last time they played. Believe it or not but Mo Williams/Boobie Gibson make a huge impact. Just learn your lesson and never take the Lakers Serious for the rest of the season!!! No fix because there was a bunch of people that made money on this game, myself included. You just need to "Fix" your degenerate lifestyle and not let 1 bet take you out the game, Money Management!!

It happens man. You have to remember, these are professionals.

WITH 1 MIN 30 SECONDS, MY QUESTION IS OBVIOUS WHERE WAS THE SAME INTENSITY FOR THE FIRST 46 MINS !!!! THATS WHY IF THERE WAS EVER ANY DOUBT ABOUT GAMES BEING FIXED , LAST NIGHT TOTALLY GAVE ME THE ANSWER. TELL ME HOW DOES A TEAM LIKE THE CAVS WHO LOSE BY 50 2 WEEKS ATER BEAT THE SAME TEAM OUTRIGHT AND BASICALLY LEAD FROM START TO FINISH. PEOPLE MAY SAY THE LAKERS ALL STAR BRAK STARTED BEFORE THEY CAME OUT TO PLAY , BUT LETS FACE IT EVEN A LACK LUSTER PERFORMANCE BY LAKERS AGAINST A TERRIBLE TEAM LIKE CAVS SHOULD AT LEAST BE ENOUGH TO AT LEAST WIN THE GAME FORGET COVER. AN ABSOLUTE JOKE HOW RIGGED THAT GAME WAS THE NBA SHOULD BE EMBARRASED WITH THAT GAME LAST NIGHT AND ASHAMED OF ITSELF!!!!!!!

who do you think fixed the game last night?

a) refs
b) players
c) coaches

and did the above work out a deal with the mafia to shave points?

dimon · 02-17-11, 12:55 PM

people so stupid its unreal...betting -900 ML and then complain...stupid

DemoralizdDreamr · 02-17-11, 12:56 PM

were you seriously expecting a 50 points blow out again. That happens like once in a season, and that game was in LA. Lakers were struggling coming into the game. Cavs have like the most passionate fans and they got Mo back and they had a revenge spot.
I dont know if you noticed but the line wasnt -49.5

Mikail · 02-17-11, 12:59 PM

Anyone here who is acting like the Lakers losing last night wasn't shocking is full of it. Furthermore I don't think anyone actually took them SU on the ML but I'm sure many parlays where lost that included Lakers ML

It's funny how these kind of threads pop up year in and year out.

Newbs getting sucked in to the game everyday...

Vegas for President.

baldur · 02-17-11, 01:37 PM

when will end this kind of thread like as "lakers couldnt beat cavs, so match was fixed" i'm really wondering.

dmncnlou · 02-17-11, 03:01 PM

Didn't have a dime on the game but I believe all of it is fishy based on effort or lack there of! Here's a prime example of what I'm talking about. In Game 5 of the 2008 NBA Finals the Celtics have a 3-1 series lead and are losing title clinching Game 5 by 24 points or so. Suddenly, the Celtics play hard down the stretch and come back within 4 points or so only to lose Game 5. Next up is Game 6 at Boston. Celtics mop the floor with the Lakers and beat them by damn near 40 points! The Celtics didn't give a damn about Game 5 cause they knew they wanted to win the chip at home so they put out little to no effort in Game 5. But, what about the sucker who took the Celtics in 5 games? Or the bettors who bet the Celtics in game 5 ML or ATS? They lost cuz the Celts didn't play hard.

DarkMage · 02-17-11, 03:16 PM

nba where "amazing" happens.

Lol any team can beat another on any given night, if you were watching the entire game the lakers were sleepwalking for all but the last 2 minutes, I don't know why...maybe they just wanted to end the roadtrip and thought they could just dial it in against the Cavs.

NBA may have some rigged refs in the past but I don't think the games are rigged on a nightly basis.

Probably a lot of teasers too.

Anthonyg7 · 02-17-11, 03:30 PM

I knew better than to bet on this game.

EasyCover · 02-17-11, 04:00 PM

If you are taking favorites or huge ML your money is gonna be funny.

Mikail · 02-17-11, 04:06 PM

I think we all agree the Lakers did not play like they wanted to win. Only they know why their court presence was lackadaisical. It just always make me wonder if there was an alterior motive involved in these type of situations. You could make a case the game was fixed but we all know how this argument goes. How many a time has this dispute on whether or not games are fixed has been present here on the forum. Bottomline is if the Lakers really wanted to win the game last night they would have.

You should be embarrassed and ashamed for using the Caps Lock key.

This type of game happens every year, usually multiple times a year, in many different sports. One team gets crushed by another and then they meet again and this time the crushee crushes the crusher.

The Lakers had just lost by 20 points to Charlotte. Was that game rigged also?

Taka · 02-17-11, 04:15 PM

Kobe obviously had money on the Cavaliers

lol I don't know but I do know he played horrible again. I tell you what if the Lakers was able to get Carmelo it sure would bring some life back into the team. They just seem complacent, unfocused and unmotivated.

NBA_Brosuf · 02-17-11, 04:29 PM

You will know it is rigg is if the staples center somehow has a makeover. Then again, you have to spot check on the owner of the lakers and upper managements and how they control things.

When there is a super jackpot alert for vegas, fixing game is how vegas wants to win. You will not find evidences for this case and if you can prove it, you will be a dead person by tomorrow. I'm not kidding.

Any who bets on an old team on its 5th game in 7 nights on the road, against a motivated team, before they get to go home and party all weekend is a FUCKEN IDIOT!

Really? Betting on the NBA champs against a team who just broke a 25 game losing streak makes a person an idiot? I don't know about that.

Would a person too scared to bet on games like such also be called an idiot?

How about half an idiot?
