Never placing another NBA bet, if i post one remind me its like pro wrestling

[topgame85]

NBA is a complete sham, pointless to bet unless you know an official. Nuggets go up by 18 1st qt and the refs make 6 bad or questionable calls to bring it back to a 1 pt game and now hornets are crushing. they are all donagheys and need to be locked up.

[topgame85]

Haha didn't you have rockets last night you fck, didn't you whine and bitch when portland covered? yes i remember you did so blow me

[topgame85]

Nuggets take a one pt lead and here we go again quick defensive 3 second call, bull shit

[Tsoprano]

The NBA can be a sick thing to watch

[topgame85]

Yes it can T, after Donaghey went down there was talk of several other officials involved and it all just got swept under the table, if they are not outright fixing the outcomes they are at least keeping select games close

[Casperwaits]

NBA and College basketball are fixed..nuff said.

[topgame85]

hard enough for a team to win a playoff game, let alone on the road, especially whe the officials make at least a dozen extra calls that are just down right bad or iffy

[topgame85]

what makes this the worst is denver played 10 x better gonna prob lose by a pt when refs had at least a 10 pt advantage to hornets

[topgame85]

there it is rip off city

[pavyracer]

So let me get this straight. Nuggets go up by 18 1Q which means they cover +4.5. Then the refs decide it's too easy so they call a bunch of fouls to bring the Hornets close. Then later Hornets go up and cover the -4.5 spread but decide in the final minutes that Nuggets should cover the spread +4.5 but Hornets win the game.

Let's send this script to Steven Spielberg. It will make a good movie.

[G's pks]

I will agree with you topgame ... Games without a doubt appear fixed...

[topgame85]

pavy, most gamblers would play denver ML at +170 over taking 4.5 pts, most hornets backers would take hornets-4.5 spread, this means almost everyone lost here, many wise wise bettors took denver pts but majority of bettors are greedy and took ML, last night same thing rockets win but port covers, port backers would play ML most likely and hou backers play spread, jazz game Kobe was supposed to make that 3 but blew it, had he made it La wins but jazz cover, there is an obvious trend here and its extremely fishy

[InTheHole]

4.5 is alot of points

[jjgold]

Hornets were home, win was expected

The point spread cover is a flip of a coin

[topgame85]

I'm talking about the average gambler inner, not the sbr sharps, NBA squares like me who see nuggets wipe their ass with hornets twice and want +money

[pavyracer]

But you haven't answered my question. You are suggesting that once the Nuggets got up big they started calling fouls for Hornets to catch up and then later when the Hornets covered the spread they started calling fouls for Nuggets to catch up but not enough calls for Nuggets to get ahead but just to cover the 4.5 spread. What if Carmelo's final shot went in? Why didn't they call travel on Carmelo to make sure there was 0% chance Nuggets would win?

That's why I stayed with the Under. Had to sweat that one out again after losing the previous two unders by -2.5 and -1.5 points.

[topgame85]

That is TOO obvious pavy, im a conspiracy theorisist for sure but it makes sense if you watch the way these games are played and officiated, chances carmelo makes that shot is under 20%

after reviewing my posts last nite i used 1 sentence about portland covering, it was hardly whining and bitching. that kind of shit happens in the nba just like denver covering today in the last 2 minutes.



blazers got so lucky with that cover, fockn joke

^^ last nites post.

but good luck to you sir.

[topgame85]

ok well I may have been slightly out of hand but so was the waambulance although i wanted to laugh it pissed me off haha, either way yes it does happen in the NBA and it happens FAR too often and thats my whole point.

[Mac4Lyfe]

This has been arguably the worst year I've seen the refs in the NBA in quite some time. Normally I'd say that NBA refs are the best in pro sports but since Donaghy left it's gotten worse

The disparity of home cooking is what's so puzzling. It was always a few points advantage but this year I think it's been more like double digits.

[G's pks]

Guys it only takes a few to fix any sport...be serious anyone watch the under in the cavs/piston game yesterday? The cavs almost had to play like they were in the special olympics to keep the pistons in the game and keep it low scoring racking up 9 in the 3rd q yesterday... And no I did not have the over or the under!

[topgame85]

donaghey was the fall guy apparently, now they operate with immunity

[G's pks]

guys we have all seen the player looking up at the scoreboard more than a team mate to pass the ball to... Or the ref blowing the whistle on every single drive to the hoop... Or the ref not blowing the whistle at all and the announcers cover by saying... "Oh they are letting them play!" What a joke! No they are letting them commit intentional fouls and letting them get away with it!

A wise man named Ganchrow once wrote here at SBR that when betting favorites, generally the value is in the ML.

He also wrote that when taking underdogs, generally the value is in taking the points.

[Tsoprano]

many wise wise bettors took denver pts

had em +4.5

[pavyracer]

I had a parlay with Nuggets +4.5 and Hornets ML. I knew the fix was in.
