Sports is a business and just like insider trading goes on in the stock market, there's corruption in sports.

That being said, I'm sure 99.9% of the time we hear all this whining on Covers about games being fixed, it is not true.

Yep, TSG i don't think it happens nearly as often as some posters on Covers say it does. But anybody that says it doesn't happen at all is naive. Many of the people crying fixed every frickn' night are probably betting over their heads.

If players were making 80k a year, yes I would believe it would happen. However, if you are making upwards to a million a year, how much would you have to pay a player to throw a game and get a bet down to more than cover you risk and where would you bet it ?
Sounds like the 9/11 guys to me.

People whining about that Utah game is the funniest

Portland got almost every borderline call and the refs blew the whistle everytime Roy touched the ball

If that was a "fixed" game.....the fixers lost

Ever read the Donaghy excerpts. Wouldn't be hard at all.
