although we had no stakes on totals - 132 points in the first half and all the over backers are happy as hell and then 64(!!!!!!!!!!!!) points only in a second half. anyplace that can happen is no more than wwf and wwe for me and now all the righteous start throwing stones at me
Question, in keeping with your Learning goal: vegas-centric trend usually pointed out after a win, rather than saying why it didn't apply after a loss. Phix, you are winning in NBA in past week, losing this season - plenty of sample to look at winning and losing. What can we learn from times theory SEEMS contradicted? Thanks man

phix - you can't be serious. This game broke all kinds of NBA records. There's never been anything like this where a team scores 73 in 1H and then 19 in 2H. If Vegas were truly influential enough to fix games, the last thing they'd want to do, is make it this obvious.
besides, what difference does it make whether games are fixed or not as long as you can win in the long run. I'd bet on WWE if I could make $$ in the long run.
I appreciate the transparency with your record and the mad respect around the board means you must be doing something right. But the random conspiracy theory seems odd.
To me, the best evidence that fixes aren't happening is Donaghy's capping skills. The guy was a former NBA ref. If fixes were that rampant, he'd know all the tendencies of the NBA - when they want certain teams to win, to lose. When they want certain games to go over, go under, etc. He'd make a killing in gambling or selling picks.
But he isn't. He's trying to peddle lousy books about the NBA gambling scandal and isn't finding any takers.

Mr. Phixer. I don't usually play your picks but when I have they have been very profitable. that being said, I would like to ask you a question. Why is it that a vast majority of gamblers don't want to believe or accept the fact that Vegas & its cronies NBA, NFL, MLB ( I don't want to say FIX ) can sway the outcome or totals of a game?. ThankYou for your time keep up the good job you're a gentleman & a scholar.

Some might say Douchey; some others would say making a point in a hilarious way and with no harm intended.

i felt that quite a few lines around new years were almost artificially lower..... wouldnt cost very much for major odds makers or books to have multiple moles (maybe too strong of a word)... but atleast someone at a couple bars who knows who all got wasted ... what times the guys got into the hotel room... stuff like that... i mean it is a multibillion dollar industry..... im sure they could spend a few mil for tabs... itd kinda be irresponsible of them if they didnt ... lol

look at #518

Here's my personal 'conspiracy' theory. I think Vegas lines are important as you do, but IMHO, it's not because Vegas "fixes" games. But b/c they have more knowledge than the average bettor. And the games where the usual favorite has an abnormally small or large point spread against the dog, reflects that knowledge.
For example, one year, I think 08 or so, Denver was a -3.5 favorite at NJNets one day. Denver led their division. NJ was the worst team, struggling to win 20% of their games. Even for a Denver road game, this line was waaay too low. Public pounded Denver. Line didn't budge.
As you can guess, Denver got smoked by 25. It wasn't even close. Months later, it comes out the Nuggets got completely trashed and hungover from partying in Manhattan. Billups completely ripped his team for it. My theory is that bookies knew that and capitalized.

or the story was to cover for what happened or wise guys made it happen or ....million other possible angles. why billups had to be such a big mouth?
the bottom line is that the public got smoked and all i advocate is to be on a smoking side rather than smoked one

The story came out in the context of why the Nuggets improved their performance after that game (which they did).
I only bring this up theory up b/c you mentioned earlier that this thread was share knowledge and opinions. So I thought I'd contribute mine. But we can agree to disagree.
