I agree with the original poster ... the "fixed" argument helps soothe one's loss. As for the book by the ex NBA official, The guy is a documented liar and cheat so why should we believe anything he writes in a book after the fact in an effort to make money off the embarassment of being caught. The bloody guy has turned out to be a sports tout now too and can't pick winners for garbage.
It's like the stock market. .... they call people that go short "speculators" but those that go long "investors" what at the end of the day, it's a calculated bet on either direction.
With the lines just so tight these days, one bad call can win or lose a play so it becomes magified that much more.
It's comforting to blame the referees when in fact, it all comes down to losing on a bad beat.
Which is why I always say, if I bet a team to win at -5 for example, I would rather them lose SU by 10 points than to have them win by 4 and be left shaking my head.
Cheers
