Another day, another fixed nba game. Bos vs cha....

If you bet charlotte at plus 11.5 you won and if you bet boston at minus 10.5 you won.. so who was the game "fixed" for?  any time a game comes within a .5 of the spread, somebody always starts a fix thread.. I would assume if there was a game that was indeed a fix I doubt that it would rest on a player having to make a shot in the last second.  

You have presented many good points. What you need to realise is, this place, when you present good valid points, if people cannot refute or defeat your arguments, they resort to ad hominem attacks (personal attacks). This is a clear indication that posters here dont have an answer, but get irritated, because you are ruining some sort of dream for them.

I think people here couldnt stand the thought of putting good earned money on a game, yet players laughing behind their backs at bettors who were on the wrong side of their play collectively.

I dont believe players lose games on purpose, i very very highly doubt that happens, do i believe players, refs and officials tamper with spreads from time to time? I think so.

So Charlotte pointlessly fouling late wasnt supposed to happen? I thought the fix was in. You said it yourself. You are trying to have it both ways but you cant. Just answer, what was the fix? what was the final goal?  Bos cover, over, under, Cha cover? What was it? 

Furthermore, i dont really believe players actually bet on the game themselves. This is what i believe happens.

Players are young , prime red blooded males at the peak of their manhood. They are on the road 50% of the time in plush hotels etc etc. They are away from their wives, kids, families etc etc.

I believe that while on the road, they get hookers, coke etc etc in their rooms. They get these from pimps etc etc. And in RETURN make a few promises. That way, their is no money trail and BOTH sides of the party have their balls in the vice.

I say this because here in Australia, this has happened, the way i described it. I dont have evidence that this is what happens in the states, but it wouldnt surprise me.
