    I love when the Vegas fix crowd uses Donaghy as their example.  Do you people realize Donaghy was betting on his games?  Meaning he was taking money from VEGAS and/or other books.  Donaghy was working against Vegas, not with them. Incidents where people got caught point shaving are great examples as to how Vegas is NOT involved in fixing games.
