OKC ML

If you think the NBA is rigged <<---- The above is a

Everyone should be on okc it's clearly fixed

[PAULYPOKER]

Already on it...........

[spippen]

rigged to a point, but no matter how much there are times when teams can beat the refs no matter how one sided.

Explain 4th foul on Durant when Thunder was up by 10 wise guy.

[Sam Odom]

mack , over 1/2 the board said it is fixed last night Those people should spend all day today shipping $$$ offshore or getting an increase from their Local

Then make a killing w/OKC

[Housemoney]

I do, and I am. Game 3 $200 ML, Game 4 $400 ML, Game 5 $800. If I lose all 3 I will be buried and hate the NBA even more than I do now. It will also prove why martingale is a stupid betting strategy. Conventional thinking goes out the window when the game is fixed.

[Sam Odom]

pronk , cash in on the fix buddy - NO WAY a rigged NBA will let the Finals end with ONLY 5 games

[SparJMU]

I think the NBA is rigged. And accordingly the play should be MIA in games 3, 4, and 5. It's not about the quantity of games, it's about the eventual champion. They have 13 - 16 more years to market Durant, Westbrook, Harden. The window on Lebron, Wade, Bosh is significantly shorter.

The NBA is rigged. I already won game 3 with relative ease. I will also win games 4 and 5. MIAMI in 5.

Money is what makes the world turn

How much $$$ would the NBA lose with a 5gm series vs 7gm one ?

If you people genuinely think the NBA is rigged, then WHY THE HELL ARE YOU BETTING ON IT? Are you people seriously mentally retarded or something?

Just because you're struggling to break-even and suck at betting doesn't mean the NBA is fixed.

[BIGDAY]

Agreed, but scary as NBA needs Labron James to be poster boy. I just prefer it to be a poster that he always chokes..

Because... once you find the "pattern" the NBA wants... you're Gold. Like JJGOLD. I won 16k last year on Dallas. Everyone and their Mom was on Miami last year. I was nervous as fuk... but once the light shined... it was easy.

You are not understanding a very valuable concept here. Try reading the posts in this thread again.

The NBA is totally rigged. MIA ML last night was the easiest bet of the year. Surprise surprise there were legitimate phantom calls, and every close call went in favor of Miami. Wow who could have seen that coming?

Why in the hell would Stern want Cuban and that soft Euro Nowitzki to win a ring? James and the Heat choked, plain and simple.

[aceking]

okc will win it next year .

no way miami lose 2 finals in 2 years.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I think the NBA is fixed, but that still doesn't tell me whether the refs are going to cheat for the Thunder in game 4 or game 5.

Thunder down 3-1 and then Lebron losing 3 straight would make for a helluva storyline and a lot of intrigue into next year. Maybe Stern will go that route.

[Vaughany]

lol

[PickWinnerAllDay]

And if the Thunder win game 4, then you should just put your bank roll on Miami in game 5. Stern won't let Thunder go up 3-2 and then 2 in OKC... would be too tough to fix both games without someone knowing.

Then again, I'm not gonna touch it either way. Unintelligent players, possibly crooked officiating. No thanks.

[Mikail]

This is actually good strategy. However, if too much action is on OKC and game becomes lopsided then that could change everything. Although it's not likely because surely many will still bet Heat.

I have the Heat in 6 or 7 and would be suprised if OKC doesn't win another game or perhaps 2

Sam, please correct me if I am wrong, but the NBA itself makes most of its money from TV contracts, which are negotiated for multiple years at a time. Two more games in Oklahoma means the Oklahoma owners will make more money on ticket sales, parking, concessions, etc, but the NBA doesn't care about that. The next time ABC is deciding how much they want to pay for the rights to air the NBA Finals, do you think they would rather sponsor a team from Miami with the most polarizing player in all of sports, or do you think they want a small market team from Oklahoma? I read that the Boston-Miami game was the highest rated playoff game ever. Maybe I misread it and it was the highest rated conference finals game, but either way the NBA knows full well that Miami is their money maker. They don't make money if Miami has to play two more games this year. They make money if Miami is the NBA's top dog.

[ramones951]

Miami wins

[TheMoneyShot]

For instance... if this series gets back to OKC for Game 6 or Game 7... how many people would be hammering the Heat at +200 - +210?? If Game 6 doesn't hit... they would double up on Game 7.

But if OKC is smart... they wouldn't let up one single minute in that game... Feed off the fans! They just need to take 1 of the next 2 in Miami... and this becomes a major series again.

[SparJMU]

I keep saying that the NBA is "Fixed", but it can only be fixed to some extent. Last year Miami choked so horribly no amount of bad reffing could have overturned it. James was literally passing the ball to Juwan Howard and Mario Chalmers EVERY time he got his hands on it. The refs didn't even have the opportunity to fix it Lebron choked so bad. This year is entirely different. The lack of call at the end of game 2 is all the evidence you should need.

[TheMoneyShot]

I'm going to go out on a limb here...

LEBRON JAMES IS DESTINED TO NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

He just seems like the kind of guy who gets there... BUT NEVER SEALS THE DEAL!!!

[SparJMU]

Also Sam, if they were trying to rig this series for longevity (which I don't think makes sense based on my explanation above) they would not have rigged game 2 so blatantly. Game 2 showed us all very early on that the refs have been instructed to favor Miami. I don't see any reason why that will change in games 4 and 5.

[ChalkyDog]

Sharp post, Sam. Already leaning that way.

I am simply trying to determine if they let it get obvious and let OKC win now, or let them come back in game 5 and 6. Adds slightly more drama.

Either way, the chase should work.

Holy crap, this post is mentally handicapped.

Why bet on fixed game, the guy says. It is stupid to bet on a fixed game, the guy says.

The mob agree's, pal.

[Sam Odom]

If a fix is in and no one knows which way the fix is fixed then there is no fix

[PickWinnerAllDay]

The only difference in betting on a fixed game and betting on a real game is that you are counting on someone else to bring the bet through for you.

[Sam Odom]

Sharp post, Sam.

thanks buddy

[The Bet Master]

Actually if I was rigged Miami would win game 4, because Ratings would increase with them having a chance to win.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Sam, take that picture down before I put you on my ignore list. If I wanted to look at chimps I'd go to the Lincoln Park Zoo.
