Are People actually Dumb enough to believe the NBA is Rigged?

[sballen]

Thanks for the logic eddy. Much needed with these morons.

Tmc - just stop. You sound more and more idiotic (if that's even possible) with each additional post you make. Go put your tin foil hat on so the NBA can't read your mind and rig the game against your $5 bets lol.

[TwoWays]

nba is fixed. just like ever sport that you can bet on is fixed. end of thread.

Well I guess we can all clear out now. The NBA is fixed, end of thread... Because the bisexual bandit said so.

[gasto]

You guys need to do some basic research. There is 4 players on the SA spurs roster making just around $1 million. There is 6 on the OKC roster. Caron Butler is making 450K this year. Derek Fisher less than a million.

Tax bracket for all these players would be around 40 or more percent. So Caron this year before expenses takes just under 300K. that 25Kor so per month. And you think its that difficult to give some of these players straight cash or maybe privileges at their favorite strip club.

One thing people forget is these players did not grow up in isolation. They have friends they grew up who may already have been into gambling. Gambling shops are all over the hood. And you think its a stretch for a bro to say hey whats up tonight. Guy takes a night off and he does not need to folk money to help his friends.

You are misguided to think its just for competitive spirit. The number one reason is to feed their families.

I wouldnt necessarily say by the players but the league influences, and the refs do the work. Although some teams can play suspect it has you shaken your head, remember the first two games, Spurs constant motion on offense, never stopped, each player basically moving, not this game, not running alot of usual offense, alot more stagnant. Anyway refs blow and swallow the whistle to influence games, if you cant see that I dont know what to tell you.

[Eddy Munny]

But by the same token, the players who make the least money also possess the least influence over a game. Furthermore, lesser paid players are clinging to a contract, so playing poorly not only jeopardizes their roster spot/playing time with their current team, it can potentially have long term repercussions and see them out of the league much sooner.

It's career suicide... doesn't make any sense gasto. No player has ever come forth with any such admission. Not a deathbed confession, memoir, or even to ease the lifelong guilt..... nothing.

[Eddy Munny]

BTW.... Slugworth and his cronies should probably get involved with this Western Conference Finals. If you want viewership for four quarters, and satisfied sponsors, figure out a way to not have four blowouts in four games.

[gasto]

So I take it and all on this forum who have not confessed to gambling are going to have a death bed confession to say they used to gamble

There are women who know a kid belongs to another man and never confess. He'll Governor Arnold had a baby with the maid and for 11 years nobody knew.

What world do you guys live in full of upright people. Being a millionaire or poor does not sway you to be moral or immoral

These NBA players hang around places full if sharks ready to pound on any signs of weakness. Just providing girls at a strip club can make wonders. Just because you can pay with your own money does not stop people accepting bribes and returning favors.

BS gasto... Players don't follow a script. It makes zero sense for either side and I've already stated perfectly sound reasons as to why that is.

You can't bribe a Kevin Durant type player. And even if you could bribe a Caron Butler, how is that investment going to payoff unless you also bribe Scott Brooks? If Butler comes off the bench and plays sloppy defense and/or takes ill advised shots, guess what? His ass is going right back to the bench and he may not even get back into the game. So now you've paid a guy what, $25,000 (at least), to play subpar basketball for maybe 10 minutes, which wouldn't even guarantee the outcome you'd sought.

[Eddy Munny]

...And the whole thing about privileges at strip clubs (as reward for playing like shit) is an absolute joke. These aren't wide-eyed high school seniors on a recruiting visit to UCLA. If a professional basketball player walks into a strip club, these hoes are already draped all over him as soon as they realize who he is and what he does for a living.

C'mon gasto, you're slipping.

Guys ive changed my mind, it is rigged. Let me explain...

i was watching a local little league game tonight and one team was clearly better than the other. I found a foolish guy to take his son's team (which was the worse of two teams) and bet against me moneyline. The game was going as planned until one of the players on the better team got injured, oh and the ref made some terrible calls. Long story short, the better team lost and I know that my counterpart called up the ref and rigged this prior to tipoff. Want solid proof? Well, I lost the bet and just take my word for it, it's rigged! I can't believe the fixed games have infiltrated all the way down to little league, this is unreal. I'd like to report this story to someone so the world can see how fixed these games are, however, i must keep this to myself, as the local snack stand and the parents recording their children's games were all involved in the fix. There's no way the local media will pick up on this story either because these little league teams have sponsors, and no way the sponsors, the snack stand, or the parents with their recordings would allow me to leak this story. I must seek asylum.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. NBA players getting bribed by strip club owners to fix games.

[Eddy Munny]

Don't give these "rigged" gurus any ideas sballen, they'll take that snack stand angle and run with it.

He gave his sons coach and other coach 5 bucks and it was over!!the ice cream crew on the benches are the pyramid group and they give the go ahead.

The fix was in tonight. Word also has it that the parents of the underdog team took their kids to the local dairy queen after the game and they all bought sundaes. I should've known the fix was in when i saw the local DQ wish the underdog team good luck on their sign out front. This is stretching much further than I imagined. I gotta get to the bottom of this.

This is entertaining though, keep it coming fellas. Reading is out the window, everyone spouting what they believe regardless of what they're actually responding to.

[vividjohn45]

Do your damn research,Soccer does not only fix games in third world countries,did you not hear about the Italian match fixing scandal,where teams like Lazio and Juventus were both implicated.

Thw mob will go after their famalies. They will mis hit a shot to protect a loved one. And make some money on top of it. Its real. The tennis betting markets are watched by thw atp or whover runs the tennis show cuz mob leans on pkayers

[packerd_00]

Match fixing has happended thats a fact,to say theres no proof is complete bull shit. Ive posted the link on Italian Match Fixing but these clowns want to play stupid.

Italian Serie A is as big as it gets, and the teams involved are worth hundreds of millions of dollars,it involved Juventus FC a famous team all over the world.

No doubt about it,I can imagine its the same way in Russia with there leagues,there Mafia controls everything.

[V4Value]

Games are rigged, a lot of people make it sound like EVERYTHING is rigged. Certain sides are favoured sometimes. Match fixing has nothing to do with certain people paying players at a strip club, etc. It goes deeper than that. There are one-on-one approaches though (coming from an athlete with personal experience). Also things are done differently in franchise sports and non-franchise sports.

So you're a former professional athlete that was approached to rig games for strippers? You should definitely call 20/20 with this info!

Dude you didn't read his post, it goes much deeper than strippers. We're talking like strippers AND alcohol, who knows, maybe even some free hotel rooms were thrown in to guarantee the desired result.

NBA games aren't fixed, muti-million dollar athletes aren't going to risk their careers, not to mention possible jail time by throwing a game, it's amazing to me how people can think otherwise. Now as far as college sports go; yeah, you can definitely fix a college basketball or football game. I've seen stories about college athletes who owe their bookie more than they can pay, so they'll shave points. There have been numerous examples of this (google Stevin Smith). Give a college athlete $20,000, and he wont mind missing a few shots to make sure his team doesn't cover, but there is no way you can bribe an NBA player, it's not worth it to them.

[flyboy]

funny shit right there. referees and a tip-off in a baseball game!

[The Kraken]

Everyone is in on it

The commish, refs, owners, coaches, players, trainers, docs, fans, ticket shuckers, valets and even the focking mascots

So what if the bookie, or likely an associate, told the player we have photos of you cheating on the old lady, doing coke in a gay bar, cheating on your taxes or a million other stupid things these guys can do to get in bad situations. Money isn't everything. And in the case of the NBA, if your employer instructs you to do something you do it if you want to keep your job.

I'm not saying every game is fixed by the NBA, mafia or anyone else. Just that it happens and we'd all probably be shocked if we knew every story.

The dribbling Jew makes the call for the refs to put Lebron on the bench with foul trouble and get an extra game in the ECF

Now do you believe? If youve watched bball for any length of time especially in college youd have already known the refs influence the game.

No need for that "Jew" s h i t....but yes...Silver made the call and when that red phone rings..the refs have to pick it up...Paul George was not wrong to say what he said. It just sounds bad when its right after a loss..but its the truth...Who ever the league has decided will win a game is who gets the calls...Miami is a an easy team to help win a game because they are good enough on most nights so it does not look obvious.....However this Pacer team is not the Miami Heat. They are horrendous on offense...as a result the refs have showed their hand tonight. They barely call traveling on Lebron..so how on earth did he end up with 4 fouls in the 1st half? LMAO...

I hit my last 5 straight bets in the playoffs...but refused to lay it down tonight because I knew funny business was going down..a 5 game ECF is totally unacceptable...hell i don't blame them...NHL ECF is better than this s h i t...LOL Go Habs..!!

[TheMoneyShot]

Maimi VS Indy Game 5 - Lebron James mysterious foul trouble... hmmmmmmm
