You don't have to put fixes in quotes, it's a known fact that games have been fixed.

Whatever
I should have stated along with the first post that this thread isn't to give one's opinion whether they believe there is fixing, it's just to give examples of situations where there could be fixing/point shaving in games, that is all.

That Ravens game was so sketchy... it's funny how they ran ray rice like 15 times... as far as the Giants, they lose to crap teams on the regular, no shock there. As far as the Rams vs Saints I just think they were able to get pressure on Drew Brees, something the Rams were decent at, but still really Saints?

#10 Posted: 5/3/2012 12:58:05 AM Just read the book Scorecasting, the author pretty well gives a history of fixed games.

Heck, the Detroit Lions have been involved in more fixed games than anybody.
When Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested he had a futures bet on Detroit in his posession.
But it gets better, when John Wilkes Booth was caught he had a futures bet on the "detroit Lions" and of course no one knew who they were - or would be - at the time.

I'm sorry I'm just a bit confused by this post.

And yes, knox's punt return td called back by holding would be the most obvious choice in my opinion. But there are too many to mention |
