I hate to use the word "fix" as I've taken so many bad beats and tried to blame it on this out of frustration...but that game was crazy. The worst part was that half the fouls in the final minutes weren't even contact fouls to the ball handler....they were away from the ball fouls and we couldn't even see what the hell was going on. It was hilarious...the whistle blew every 20 seconds and even the players were like "What the Fuck"....kinda looking around to see who the foul was on.


 

Good description of the bullshit that was going on.

Hey buddy...you left the important sentence out after my comment about betting 8K being insane. I'm sorry bro...that's your business and if you can afford it...more power to you. Wish I had that kind of money....lol. 1st baby is due in June and I'm trying to get some extra cash from the books to contribute to his savings account...lol.

Sorry if I came off as insulting...didn't mean that at all. Your business is your business...my point was people that wager serious cash on NBA or NCAA that don't have a big bankroll are crazy. I'm sorry bud.

I've tried starting my own thread a few times, but unfortunately they often turned out to look like THIS thread, going on and on with both followers and haters whipping up a shitstorm.  It ate into my time tremendously, much like this thread is doing tonight.  I was supposed to meet someone for dinner 90 minutes ago!

 

D'oh!!

Geez, try holding onto a Nerf football during the tense moments and stop breaking the good stuff.

Warriors +6.5, yes.  I also had the lame Rockets, though.

LOL...I hear you brother...I've been spending way too much time on this forum as well. It's all fun though.

And I also hear you in regards to people loving/bashing you. I've been on a red-hot streak the last few weeks and as soon as I lose 2 in a row I'll be hearing it...lol. Some people don't understand this business and how picking 2 out of 3 is excellent.

No, absolutely no offense taken.  I knew what you meant.

I agree there were moments of that game that were highly
suspect, however, there was also an offensive interference goaltending call against Carlos Boozer, that could have easily been ignored.
 
And would have been ignored if there was a collective effort to get the game over the posted total.  So you would think, yes?

No moneyline, but I had Golden State +6.5 and Golden State again at halftime +6.5.  You know who I took on the moneyline?  The Rockets!  Dumb bet!

MrBator,

What I don't understand is why this particular game would be a fix.  I believe that you even mentioned in a different thread that the over was one of the most public plays of the week.  It was a late, standalone, national TV game and it appeared that everyone was on the over.  Could there really have been that much sharp money on the under that would have countered the huge percentages on the over and made it worth fixing the game?  I realize its not a conspiracy with the entire city of Las Vegas to fix a game, but generally wouldn't a person taking rather than making bets be the one fixing it?  If so, why would they choose this game?  Please don't take this as me attacking you or the idea that the game could have been fixed, I am just curious as someone who is a more casual (probably semi-square) gambler.

Yeah, getting that love is a double-edged sword because some of those people will hate you if you don't keep it going in the right direction.  But there's a lot of cool people, too.

One offensive goaltending call is no defense against what those three men did to slash-n-trash the integrity of that basketball game.  Uh uh.

Yea seemed like a good spot for the Rockets, but they looked a step slow tonight.  I just hope you bet everything you have on UNC.  Sink Las Vegas.  It is the easiest bet in the history of gambling.

E-Turd is the worst broker you could possibly use. If you knew anything about trading, you would steer people clear of e-trade and recommend a real broker with A real trading platform like think or swim.

The thing is, DrRosenrosen, we don't know anything.  We don't know how this was arranged, or by whom, or on behalf of whom, or how, exactly, a profit was turned by having the referees make this game go over 209.  One thing I do feel strongly about is that the public's wagering on this game (which was decidedly towards the over) was no factor in hatching this plan.  This was a great game to pick, though, because these two teams had already played two foul-filled games this season.  This one should have blended in as simply another, but the poor shooting throughout forced the three refs to call more and more fouls, which wound up looking suspicious and weird, even to casual viewers.

It happened late in the game, with the total still hanging in the balance.

I don't really have a dog in this race, I was just playing devil's advocate.

Carry on.
