C'mon guys.. Overall, sports aren't fixed.. Can they be fixed though? Sure they can, but that would be the case only if one person or persons was corrupt enough to single handily change the outcome of something themselves. Who's to say that person would even have that chance to make the fix happen. What if his team is losing and the fix was supposed to be for his team to win. How can that player gaurantee the fix to win if both teams dont know about it.. I understand if they were supposed to lose and the player could fumble it or someone could throw an interception..A kicker missing a FG.. Even having a paid off ref try to do what he could to sway things the other way..Most the time refs call their penalties they are just about always replayed and confirmed by commentators/coaches etc.. Are they always right?? No, but those are bad calls and its human nature to make mistakes.. If the call looked WAY fishy, im sure the nfl would have an investigation on the call and the ref who called it after the game or later in the week.. Not one single person can gaurantee the whole outcome of a whole nfl game without the help of others or without attracting any attention..
Sports like boxing, racing, tennis, golf and some others are/would be way easier to rig/throw/fix since the outcomes are solely based on the performance of ONE person.. One person's mind decides what they are going to do when they are competing so its all up to them what they want to do..
You can bet on ANYTHING.. Whether a girl or guy is walking around the corner next or whatever.. Just because you can bet on it doesnt mean it's rigged.. Is it possible? Yes, but you'd have to pay somebody off which in most cases wouldn't be worth it..Especially on sports like football.. Espcially to lose a big game and let down your teammates because someone paid you some money. You'd have to be scum to do that.. I'm sure that has happened a few times though.. That isnt saying the whole nfl is rigged though. It's saying it's possible to pay off single persons..
The NFL is way rich enough.. Why would they need to risk and gamble something that is already gauranteed to make lots of money.. NFL gets enough just off advertising.. Research all the team owners also.. They're all filthy rich business people who prob wanted to own a team for their own entertainment. They want to have the best team.. They want their team to win..That's their form of competition.. Why else would they pay millions to recruit top notch players.. They're probably friends with each other and talk shit to each other about who's team will beat who's every week.. They make most their money on ticket sales, advertisements, sports gear merchandise etc anyway so its more of a leisurely investment for them.
Vegas just sets the odds on these bets to give them their favor..Why risk all the complications of setting this and that up when its just like a hand of blackjack to them.. It's not all that complicated where vegas calls up teams and people to tell them to win or lose.. Ya'll are crazy to think vegas single handily controls all these sports.. Do you not realize those games that you lose by one point could be a winner at some other bookie?? Not all the lines are the same..If so, which bookie/line controls the fix then?? If something was going to be rigged, it would have to take planning and last time I checked you can place bets up until kickoff.. Let's say 95% bets on one team so they place the fix on the underdog, but then right before kickoff some guy calls in and bets 10 billion on the dog.. Who's going to be responsible for changing the outcome of the game then??
There are just too many people in the football organization to not have someone already come out and say something if games were set up as much as some of you people think... There would be a leak somewhere for sure.. Not everyone in the nfl gets paid lots so im sure if some disgruntled player wasn't happy he would find some way of making his due share by exploiting something as big as conspiracy in the nfl.
It's just ridicously to think these athletes played these sports all their life to try to make it to the nfl where they would be told to throw a game and not play their hardest.. It would be against a majority of the athletes ethics to throw games that way and with that majority of players someone would have leaked if that was the case.. Why would team owners have to pay millions more for good players when they could just have a crap team and pay off the game so they could win.. Wouldn't that save them a lot more money and wouldn't it be easier??? What makes certain teams like the patriots and colts so special to have them win all their games?? They paid the NFL more money?? lol. Shoot, look at the patriots.. They have covered against the spread every game this year and concensus has always had them favored.. Uh oh which game are they waiting for to set us all up?? Come on guys, there are such things such as variance.. Nothing is gauranteed and crazy shit happens.. Notice you seem to forget about all the good things that happen when you get lucky and win your bet, but if you lose you remember all the bad weird shit that happens...

I don't know the whole story but 6 NBA referees got into trouble for gambling in the Donahey fiasco recently. Would that fit you're mold of a small group fixing games? Thats 10% of the NBA officiating staff!

the game outcome was in hand wout Brady having to come back in....but the game was in doubt for spread purposes...why would Bellechik risk bradys health up by 3 TDs if he wasnt concerned about preserving that spread victory?

Maybe I'm just pissed the Steelers are losing, but the calls in this game have been extremely one-sided so far. The refs called that bullshit PF on Polamalu hitting Cutler in the head when Cutler slid into it, an illegal touching on Holmes when the defender touched the ball first and a phantom holding call on Pgh when they were driving and hit a long pass play at the end of the half. Yet, they somehow missed when 4 Denver defensive players slamming Ben R. to the ground way after the whistle and a Denver defensive end clearly jumping offsides on the play that knocked Pgh out of field goal range at the end of the half. Actually, the refs threw flags on 3 consective plays against Pgh when they were driving at the end of the half, then they miss a def end clearly offsides on a play that led to a sack. I don't know if this means the game is fixed, but it is extremely frustrating.
I AM ON DENVER big and I am certain that this game is fixed! the oddsmakers told me that with that line that they put up and maintained all throughout the day
I just happen to be on the right side of this fix ![]()
