Game's like today make me think the NBA is rigged...seriously

If it is or isn't doesn't really matter, does it? You're still gonna bet and if you happen to be on the other side of a 'rigged' game you won't complain.

Darkside Magick · 01-26-12, 01:33 AM

yeah that was some weird shyt.. teams always shoots the 3..esp when u got mo williams and cp3

People believe what they want to believe. I personally believe there is very little "rigging" ocurring in the major sports in North America. In other parts of the world, cheating scandals like in soccer/cricket seem to be far more prevalent.

People who don't mind if they remain shrouded in darkness like this donkey have always been a major

to me.

"It doesn't matter".

What are you? Does blood run through your veins? Of course it matters you bloodless soulless automaton.

I'm sure they also know the spread (players)

YOUSENKO · 01-26-12, 02:23 AM

Of course its rigged and they let chris paul play after setting a line that is too good to be true. It is analysed this season clippers point guards can control the score against lakers. Furthermore they emphasize williams' form.

I've noticed in my 25 years of NBA wagering that midweek games, this time of year are crap shoots.Travel, weather delays, players are tired...it just works out that way.I always make an effort to put down some change on a few dogs...ML's have been great. Good luck guys!!

I would say 90% of the time, teams shoot a 3, and foul if it goes in or call it a day if they miss....clippers do a pick and roll and have griffin lay it in for 2...ok...? 8.8 seconds left, kobe makes 2 ft's, back up to 6 point game. WITH 8 SECONDS LEFT, DOWN BY 6 YOU.....HAVE GRIFFIN DUNK IT AGAIN?? DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT A 3?? and finally...2 seconds left..4 points game and griffin.....fouls on the inbound play w/1.1 seconds left....WTF??? paul makes 1 ONLY. just coincidental that the spread was at 4...? maybe...maybe not. But if it was rigged, great game to rig? lakers clippers rematch, amped up lakers, vegas knows there's gonna be A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS GAME, and thespread showed 61% on clippers....rigged?

joker status. stern won't rig it unless it matters way way more. come on

and even then, for the conspiracy theorists, it'd be a game or two AT MOST ...come on

I always wondered why the players always look up at the scoreboard during breaks in the action... are they figuring to spread and totals?
In tonights games (NBA), there were 8 games (out of nine) where the betting % minority (<41%) team won.

Smells stinky to me!

YOUSENKO · 01-26-12, 02:33 AM

THe similar thing happen with GSW. Ppl write them off and vegas set a spread to make them favourites to make public fade them. Most gamblers analyse by player's skills.

Automoto · 01-26-12, 02:36 AM

In fact, in games where there was a team with less than 30% of the wagers on a game, 5 out of 6 WON! (based on the Pinnacle betting percentages)

LeagueCapper · 01-26-12, 02:50 AM

you guys are funny

warriorfan707 · 01-26-12, 02:52 AM

Honestly though, you gotta think about what you are suggesting. If it WAS rigged, they wouldn't ever let it get that close.

Just another case of some really sharp fukkin lines

Hey bunch of games every day, it is bound to happen

H1Cypher · 01-26-12, 02:56 AM

You go for the easy two... hoping you can get a steal or a turn over or a foul. if you score the 2- get a turn over... score a 2 again or go a 3. you're now down only by 1 or 2 points. you can then foul again or try for a steal again. If they miss a foul you are now down able to tie it or win it.

They do this and it works out. Every couple games a year you are able to steal it. I've seen it happen every year at least once or twice.

Automoto · 01-26-12, 02:58 AM

Kind of like the Warriors getting outscored by what.... 19 in the 4th quarter.... 9 turnovers in the quarter too. Yeah....no professional team is THAT BAD.

So after Blakes's dunk, they are down by 4 for a second left... how will they do all that in one second?

Good point I wasn't watching the end of the game. I assumed there was more time left.

Nothing to say... they could know the spread though. I've always wondered how hard it would be to just get your homie to go throw down 20k on a spread or a total. Then you go blow it on some skrippas.

They definitely don't need the money it just seems so easy. But in all honesty Blake probably just like to dunk =p. He plays hard even when he shouldn't be. If he doesn't calm down he is bound to suffer a bad injury eventually- the man plays hard when it's just not intelligent to all the time. All the time.

Where there is a lot of money....there is a lot of corruption.... That's what my papa always told me

I can see the logic in that... but insinuating conspiracies of that magnitude is not logical. One of these players, coaches, refs, whoever would come out and spill the beans.

Donaghy was caught, he didn't confess.

If this was still going on, someone would come out of the bushes with a story.

Mac4Lyfe · 01-26-12, 03:23 AM

That shit looked foul and yes I had money on the Clippers.

warriorfan707 · 01-26-12, 03:24 AM

It didnt even look like he fouled him really, refs just blew the whistle.

They must cover when a comeback is made. If not the comeback is a waste. Let's say if they don't have intention to let LAL cover, clippers will take the game. Last matchup the money was on LAL +spread, this matchup people switch to betting clippers.

Automoto · 01-26-12, 03:46 AM

They're all involved.... the other night I heard the Laker announcers cringe when the over total was hit with a few seconds left in the game. Why would they care what the over/under line is if they knew something was up?

You heard them "cringe"

You probably misinterpreted their reaction because your mind at the time was so one-tracked and zeroed in on the total.

I seriously doubt the Laker announcer got torched on an under bet and started talking about it on the air.

Ya ya I know you didn't say that but you know what I mean. "Cringed when the over hit", cmon guy.

Oh they were nervously chuckling when the number was hit... why would they even mention it? Maybe they had the under?

H1Cypher · 01-26-12, 08:09 AM

Delusional people should just give me their money. I'll return 20% of what I win and keep the rest. Trust me you weren't gonna do anything with it if you honestly believe it is rigged- why the **** would you even bet?

BernardMadoff · 01-26-12, 08:53 AM

From having played basketball on lower levels than college, Ill tell you why they foul alot of the times, if you notice its almost always in close hard fought games, usually when the fouling team has had the lead alot in the game. Its like a last stand, I know Im about to lose, drag it out mentality, because the game at some points was in their grasp.

Makes sense. you're human- you were leading a hard fought game. A game you thought you'd win- against a big time rival. Hard fought game you thought you'd win but not this time.

Also like I said Griffin plays hard. He dives for loose balls risking serious injury even when his team is leading by 20. Kid needs to ease off or he isn't gonna last in the NBA. Sometimes you gotta know when to not play 200%.
