Do You Think The Superbowl Is Fixed??

[nyplayer33]

if it werre exposed, the penalties would be so severe and the outcry/damage to product would be huge..no way

[frostno98]

Ever since the Seattle/Steelers Superbowl the Refs has let the players decided who was going to win the game. Aside from that game, I don't recall any Superbowl where the Ref was a factor. It's basically the better team wins.

[jpot34]

The utter stupidity that people in here have never ceases to amaze me. You rank amateurs could not tell if a game is fixed or not if you were told what it was. How many different ways can you people spell DUMB? No Superbowl has ever been fixed. If you disagree, show me the proof. Proof is FACT, not something that you dreamed up in what is left of your brain. Show me an FBI inquiry. Every time you clowns lose a game (which is often) you cry "FiX". Grow up children. You know NOTHING about fixed games. If you did, you would be dead by now for shooting your big mouths off.

Why would you be dead? Where ever there is money to be made, there is corruption. I actually can't believe how stupid you sound!!!!

Expose it, you die. It's already happened over the years.

[Unwritten Law]

It' s been fixed for several decades and fans do not want to hear that their beloved favorite sport is "rigged" but it's the truth. I have won consistently and have won well over 15k this season.

I don't come here complaining that the games are fixed because I already know it is and I'm benefiting with my picks because these games are obviously rigged. It hurts deep down because some fans will never view an NFL game ever the same again.

Anyone that thinks these games are fixed is an idiot. All you have to do is look at risk/reward:

What's the risk? Well, the NFL would be risking their entire existence if they were caught fixing games. Billions and billions of dollars would be completely lost.

What's the reward? Still waiting for someone to answer that question and tell us what the league gains by fixing games.

[BriGuy]

there are no rules against nfl rigging it's own games

Uh, actually there are. Rigging a professional or amateur sporting event is a federal crime. People would go to jail if caught.

[Seaweed]

You guys need to read the book "The Fix" it will open up your innocent and oblivious eyes to the world of sports.

A book about soccer and European organized crime will not give any significant insight into the National Football League.

[Unwritten Law]

It's like a WWE fan believing that it's real. Sure it gets physical and there are some serious injuries that occur but professional sports is a shady business and people need to wake up if they think these guys play with integrity.

[sourtwist]

It's not what you think you know, But what you can prove.

Training day?

Yes they already know what the score is gonna be. The 2 teams aren't practicing in the next week they are rehearsing.

The web of laws applicable to sports, such as the Sports Bribery Act of 1964, only prohibits gambling-related corruption. There is no federal law explicitly preventing the clandestine manipulation of sporting events to enhance suspense.

The fact that you are claiming the NFL is rigged AND you possess the inside information on these fixed games may make this the single most absurd post in forum history.

FACT -- The money the NFL and its players / coaches could make from fixing a game is mere pennies compared to what it is making off that game from television revenue, etc. And people are watching regardless of who is winning and losing, and how lopsided a score may be. (I'm guessing the NFL took a day off of fixing its biggest showcase yesterday, because surely a Seattle blowout didn't help its cause)

And please don't try to insist that it is rigged for gambling purposes. Again, the money the NFL elite and/or players and coaches can make by regularly fixing games is ZILCH compared to what they make by being part of the NFL.

Can you even comprehend how many individuals would have to be involved in regularly fixing outcomes to NFL games? Do you realize how much it would cost in payouts to satisfy each and every individual involved?? The amount would be beyond astounding, and it would trigger a red flag in Vegas in a heartbeat.

Small-time college athletes rarely get away with point-shaving. Two or three guys involved in throwing a small-time college game over a few thousand dollars, and eventually it is usually exposed.

Now bring that to the NFL level on a regular basis???

In this day and age, 1-it's impossible, and 2-it is not in the best interest of the NFL at any level. It would require the help of thousands, and those not involved and not benefiting would expose the fix in the blink of an eye.

it makes losers feel better when they lose their money if they say "its fixed, its the refs, its rigged!"

Well if someone said it on the internet, then it must be true!

[BigdaddyQH]

O.K. idiots. Was last nights game rigged? Was it fixed. Only the very stupid would think so. Now which one of you amateur know-it-alls want to comment about the legitamacy of last nights game or lack of it? It is time for people like Unwritten Law, who claim to have won over 15K, but offer absolutely no proof, and all of the other air bettors in here (which makes up the vast majority of posters in here) to get the he** out and spread your B.S. somewheres else.

[face]

Well if someone said it on the internet, then it must be true!

the response i'm looking for, since you sound very confident, is to show where it is a federal law as you claimed.

[WWCD]

Uh, actually there are. Rigging a professional or amateur sporting event is a federal crime. People would go to jail if caught.

The NFL is registered as an Entertainment company. Like WWE. There are no legal repercussions even if they were exposed. As far as I understand it anyway..

If you search on Youtube "Is the NFL fixed?", there are enough videos out there that would make anyone with open mind at least think about it.

[pavyracer]

The only way it was fixed is if NFL decided to fix next year's SB too for the Broncos to win. This will ensure Peyton Manning comes back and the NFL would try to push him hard to win it next year. So if you think it is fixed buy your futures for Broncos next year because as you know it whatever NFL wants it has the absolute power to make it happen.

[GunShard]

Nope.
The line movement stayed around -2 on the Broncos when 75% of the public was on the public.
That gave you an idea the sportsbooks knew the Seahawks were going to win.
Usually lines move to -7 or greater when 70%> of the public is on one team.

[kyhawk]

Possibly the dumbest post ever. All losers think anything they lose on is fixed.

post of the year so far ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Kermit]

Manning is already making millions of dollars, there is no reason for him to purposely throw a game that is so hard to get to in the first place. And one that could have solidified his name even further as a Legend.

What a dumb thread full of retard posters, every one of ya

Lunchy you didn't even wait to see what I was going to say

Lunchy past fukk it posting anyway i'm in

[TheMoneyShot]

All I know is... Denver's first snap of the game made Vegas Millions. As much as I see that clip over and over again... the center clearly wanted to snap it quicker intentionally and he didn't even get it near Manning.

[tokio]

I dont know but I do know Lakerboy called a blowout before the game started. I dont know how he read the betting line but he was spot on.

[MickeyMan]

you can't be serious

[Eddy Munny]

If the NFL is fixed, then whoever the hack is in the NFL's script writing department should probably be dragged out into the street and shot for last night's debacle. The game was a season long buildup to a pillow fight in which the Seahawks showed up with a sledgehammer.

All I know is that the main event in every WrestleMania (was a fan back in the day) that I've ever seen was a knock-down, drag-out battle of epic proportions that left the combatants exhausted and the fans breathless. That's what a script looks like. The Ultimate Warrior isn't supposed to pin Rick Rude for a three count after just a simple clothesline one minute into the match. But that's what we had last night.

Face it, there is no outcome imaginable that would sway the minds of those who insist that it's rigged. A million different scenarios could unfold in any one game, and they'll be ready with a million different explanations as to why it happened that way.

[sweethook]

shit yeah , anything with a dollar in it theres a sob tryin put a edge on it son . just try to get on the fixed side . gl

[nikossf]

I have some concerns at times...



also interesting article here.. I particularly think #2 is interesting..

Anyone ever watch "League of Denial" in part of that documentary the commissioner even responded as to saying the nfl is for entertainment purposes only and is not classified as a true sporting event.
