Originally posted by alamoOh dear...Looks like the players fcked up the middle by scoring 12pts in the last 90secs when they had the perfect opportunity to middle it for themselves.
The amount of coordination, money (players huge salaries), hush money, social media, etc. etc. needed to pull these off are just astounding! Aside from the extreme type A personality in professional athletes to WIN. Seriously, you can get to a college kid, and your rare degen Schlichter type, but those days are getting harder and harder to pull off. Suck for Luck, I don't think so. 99.9 % of these asertions need to be sent to area 51 and quarantined. No offense meant here, but it is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. As LTA said earlier I could also write a thesis on this. The contrarian route is always easier because you don't need proof......doubt is easy to come by....... End of the day I could be way off, joke on me.
Oh, LTA nice hit bro!!!!! I hit it X2 being I got a nice stale number. Thanks my man.

I give some credence to that degen. I do feel that leagues have certain "interests" that are not cut and dried "fixes". The NBA's Superstar treatment is a reality. The league wanting to market it's stars and help them shine is a far cry from deciding outcomes (for gambling) before games start imo. The influences in professional sports officiating is in the interest of making the sport more money, more appealing,any tangible connection to fixing for monetary gain would be akin to killing the goose that lays the golden egg.Originally posted by No coincidences

Yes. First, you have mostly unsubstantiated claims by a disgruntled former league employee. Second, even if half of his allegations are true, it's still not akin to the grand scale that you and other people on here allege. Moreover, as Red stated, Donneghy's allegations are completely different from what you were alleging earlier with respect to the middle. Finally, Donnaghy got caught, didn't he? Thus, his case proves that even though it might happen, the "fixers" eventually get caught and we all find out what was going on.Originally posted by No coincidences
Regardless, please explain how the Dohaghy allegations have anything to do with you and others claiming that all sports are fixed. Are you saying that each sport rigs its games through its officials and players? Or is it the mob? Or some secret betting group?
Again, all I hear are people saying their bad beats are due to the "fix." However, no one has answered not even one of the questions I posed earlier. I wonder why not?Comment -
Wow...Portland and Cleveland had 30 points scored with 5 minutes left in the 1st quarter. The scored a total of 5 points in that last 5 minutes to finish the quarter with 35 points. That's going to make this over a tough one.
Is it fixed for the under or just the usual craziness of the NBA? The age old question

What a day, I am thankful to be break even at this point....Come on Drexel!....Denver....Tebow....Wow! Hurt my pocket, but.... Gotta love sports!

i'm glad to see i wasn't the only one who had the over in this game, reminds of of the dallas spurs game a couple days ago...that day i said they "had to heat up right?" didn't happen. Hope both teams will catch fire in 2nd half, and get their 3point shooting avg back up to norm. If we end the quarter at aounr 85 points i think we have a chanceComment -
refs could easily have called 5-6 fouls so far that i've seen...but i guess they have the underComment -
watching the cavs/blazers game...the pace is there but, they are just shooting bad, no fouls called, and quite a few careless turnovers. It will end up closeComment -

Great pace....horrible shooting. They are both shooting under 35% right now. Cleveland, who is one of the better 3 point shooting teams is 0-6 from beyond the arc, while Portland is 2-10.Originally posted by dynasty27
At this shooting rate, we could see OT and still lose
Comment -
ok. if we get 70 in the 3rd...we have a chanceComment -
Casspi shot at least 4 of those 3's for CLE...he will knock down a couple but not his shot... the other ones i have noticed have been a couple wide open look misses for POR and some bad passes that took the shooter off spot for CLEComment -
must be some rust after a day off in this condensed schedule hahahComment -
This would be the one of the worst bad beats ever for under backers. Let's hope the fix is inOriginally posted by szyy604
Sadly, I have lost unders in games like this which is why you always have to wait for the whole game before you tear up that ticket. Although, this one is going to take a miracle.Comment -
Comment -
well i did hedge half my ticket at 180...so i'm still alive for that i'm pretty sure. there's no way BOTH teams will still shoot 30% in teh 2nd half. atleast 1 of em will pick it upComment -
I took second half overComment -
So far so good! Here at the game an ended up takin lakeshow at the half as well. Keep goooooin!!Comment -
lol it seems like the Lakers roster has some sort of prop bet on Over X turnovers, this is ridiculous.
Lakers -7,-8 shouldve been looking gd, LA should be up 20+. Hope they can cover stillComment -
1sr quarter fuked usComment -
What you mean 5dimes won't let you buy pts? Last time I checked you can buy up to 18.5 pts if you wanna pay for -2500 juice.Originally posted by fecgp40Nice hit on Orlando LTA. Let's get the Lakers and the Blazers over. 5 dimes wouldn't let me buy a half point so I broke down and took the Lakers - 7.5 GL guys.
On their left navigation menu, DON'T select "bet the board" but select "Straight & RIF" instead, once you in there you can do all the shopping for pts you want.Comment -
Lakers covered thank goodness! 90-82...even for the evening less juice...lolComment -
That was close!!! Took lakers -7.5! Half a point wins, love it!!! Long live LTAComment -
well LTA, you capped Lakers at 8.5 and they won by 8. Thanks for the winnerComment -
Very nice win LTA...wish I had gotten on Lakers early and not at -8 =/Comment -

Nice start to the season pal
Good to see hard work leading to successComment -
Hey LTA just wanted to say thanks for the plays, been follow you NBA thread since end of last season, your write ups and analysis are great and in depth. You also never boost about your wins , make stupid dancing lock threads, and resort to childish name callings like some posters in this forum which is awesome.
Tailed your magic kings over play at 192 last night shortly after you posted it, as I can usually only tail your really early plays due to time zone and work schedule. Won big today along with Lakers and thunder spreads, too bad i'm still down about 10 units this season following some bad chases (never again).
Also you mentioned 2 and 7 as important numbers in spread could you please elaborate as i don't understand. You also mentioned some important numbers for totals awhile back which also flew over my head, could you please explain these if you have time. Thanks.Comment -
Lets keep this up LTA!!!! I had over 2nd half Lakers and that was horrible 4th Q and the over in the game. Whatever! Ark state killed me, its okay though get em next timeComment -
Hey LTA thank you for your thorough analysis of why you choose your picks.
I've come in here for some guidance with the NBA season and enjoy your write ups. Keep it going man.Comment -
Tnx TLA for the effort. Too bad the the over @LA did not work out. Those fuckers scored a whole 26 points in the 4th quarter while 38 was needed. LOLComment
