Q: Why did Allen foul?

All you have to know is that the Vegas Hilton does not take money on the Celtics because they own a part. Stay away from the Celtics if you plan on betting.

Those of you who bet on anything that you think might be fixed deserve whatever the decision.

I had a $100 parlay on Boston and Under. When Boston fouled twice in the last 7 seconds for absolutely no reason, and I lost $100 instead of winning $260 I was unbelievably frustrated.

Still, there was nothing rigged about this game. Both teams played extremely tough, and in the end the Bulls bettors got remarkably lucky that Boston committed two meaningless fouls. This crap happens all the time. There is no point shaving or conspiracy on a night like this.

[No coincidences]

Basketball is the easiest to make the sharpest line, its the nature of sport and the numbers compared to the others.

Exactly. A lot of scoring, and plenty of times at the end of the games, it doesn't affect the outcome in any way, shape or form.
