    Are college basketball players shaving points ?
    I am getting awful suspicious that they are cheating on the point-spreads .
    For example ,the first game today the book had Rider 15,jumped to 17,then right at tip-off Rider dropped to 15,14 1/2 .
    Well what happens ?
    Florida A&M not only stays with Rider for the first half ,but leads then by two at the half,after leading the whole first half.
    Now,the halftime line opens around 9 1/2 or 10..,then stays at 10 .
    Figure that one if you can ?
    Of course ,when the second half starts ,Rider has already built a 5 point lead within 3 or so minutes .
    Was it a great half-time speech by Rider's coach ?

    I am getting some serious doubts here boys ?

    I'm sure it happens a lot. Especially with the mid-majors.

            Wouldn't you? playing in a crap team in a crap league, you don't really have much hope of being an NBA star, you telling me a college kid in this situation wouldn't take a few G's to miss a few hoops or give some stupid fouls. Any sport, league or event your allowed to bet on which involved low played players is open to rigging.

                  Yes Rowdy,when line movement looks very strange ,especially like this one today ?
                  You don't think any of the Rider player's had action on Florida the first half ,and turn around and kick in gear for the second half, like they thought, "now ,lets play some basketball"!
                  You don't think some Rider boys got any action on the second half do you ?

                    Instead of piling money on kids playing bball, you should put that cash together in a pot, go make friends with some players and bring your pot of gold along

                      All it would take is for some good college player, or players, is to have a contact source that was able to spread several thousand dollars around on the way "they" decide to shave ,or throw off of their game .
                      Today's game looks perfect for that scenario .

                      The shaving player's bet on the opposing team for the first half ,and then play their team for the second half .
                      Easy money ,and everybody wins !

                          Yes if they attend a college in the US but haven't turned pro before.
