Lines dictates the game....

Its funny that useless threads like this garner 500+ replies, but good threads talking FOOTBALL loaded with good info get nothing.

Truly shows just how brain dead the majority of folk are here.

They keep rehashing the same "points", yet still no one can answer my one question specifically.  WHY WOULD THE NFL RISK LOSING BILLIONS THEY'RE ALREADY MAKING FOR A SCANDAL?   So far, I have read:

It's like when I found out the WWF was staged at the age of 10. Heartbreaking. Some of you are way too old to be told what is real and fake anymore. Doesn't mean it's not true. We are a country of consumers, and profit. If there's money involved, you best believe someone is doing something to get the most out of it... 

going on 30000 views... None of these noobs has actually read through the whole thread.. They come in here as if we hurt their egos.. yeah tough luck to me i was 12 when i realized wrestling was fake... I remember the Ultimate warrior dies.. LOL .. now its all just entertainment.. And that is what the ticket says... For entertainment.. Legal it sounds like they can do whatever they want considering when you buy a ticket to see a game,, that is what it guarantees,, is a game that's it..... Which is fine for me.. Didnt hurt my ego in anyway... Whatever you non believers choose to believe is fine as well.. But everything stated on this thread is backed by proof... Theres quite a few people here that DO NOT TALK OUT OF THEIR A S S H O L E S ... BECAUSE IT STINKS

see forget about fixing and not fixing
just think of it like this...the casinos are great friends with the leagues...end of conversation..think what else u want to think


if you have a friend that runs a lottery system
and you are best friends with him...what do u think ur mind will run through? end of conversation

You want to get into details... To ultimately find a way to win right?

Hey "Fade!"....I directed you to a site, www.thefixisin......If you want documentation, players, games etc----IT IS THERE FOR YA!....I really encourage you to read excerpts from the latest book there....Again, I am NOT saying that "ALL" games are fix jobs....Nor am I saying that games are scripted, you know, somewhat like a play... DOWN BY DOWN!.....THAT is impossible, as we know....However, I do say that certain games are shady and controlled....And indeed, it is for entertainment, as printed, and as such, the outcome can be determined....Have a nice week.....

Ok so....what does tonight's line dictate?? Fixed or not, bottom line is that we need to be on the right side to win. Soooo, which side is the right side tonight? 

The nfl made its billions by corruption in the first place, 

So you made billions by corruption because you started with nothing, that makes sense.  But now that you have billions and everything you want, you'd risk losing it all by engaging in more on going corruption?  Maybe the NFL is that dumb, but I surely would go clean after I made my money and its flowing in like water without the need for further corruption...seems like an easy and logical choice to just sit back and let it do its own thing.  Even Stringer Bell (from The Wire, for those living under a rock), wanted to go straight after he made his money on the street, because its just way smarter.

I have a friend who once had the honor of meeting Jack Kent Cooke.  At one point, their conversation turned to NFL betting, point spreads, and such.  Jack Kent Cooke told him:  "Don't ever bet on an NFL game.  The outcome is too easily manipulated".  

I'd imagine it'd be a little difficult to script games. Fixes for gambling are very identifiable. I posted a video that proved that. I totally agree only17-20% of games are decided by the spread. But its not just point spreads you have to look at. Its the entire gambling picture. Lines are made and used to, you could predict the outcome regardless of a spread. Now with algorithms at work, take a look at sharp those lines are as a whole. Totals, teasers, ect. You mean to tell me a computer is that sharp to understand that bettign oe way or another using the numbers can guarantee a win? Humans play the game. Money is involved and there is corruption.Look at teams on paper. Why is it that it doesnt go according to that paper? If team A is elite and team B is sub par, then how is it team B covers a spread, a total, a teaser? How is it that team B comes back form behind on a last ditch effort to "almost" win the game? Team A just ran up the score and simply gave up? You mena to tell me in 7.5 minutes during half time, a coach gave a superhuman speech that gave confidence to his team to come out and come from behind to win or almost win the game? To cover the spread they shouldnt have covered? Many who dont believe in games having a fix want to to think that if it was fixed, it was fixed for a team to win or lose. Noone can guarantee a win except Joe Namath. But they CAN guarantee a loss.  Lines are made and ppl gamble and if somoen inside the circle of the NFL decides to gamble, they can manipulte things to win their bets.

As for scripted. Well...if you look at certain instances such as 911 or Hurricane Katrina, it was a "feel good story" right? Last yr's Harbaugh vs Harbaugh. Rematch of ELI vs Brady. I guess the instance could feel that way. But imo, theres not enough there to make that prediction. If the Saints were to play Denver in this yrs SB, would it be scripted as a Brees vs Manning SB again? It's too hard to say. Sometimes I do feel feel there's instances where scripts are involved to make the game much more exciting. But to sit here and say before the season ever starts that team A will face team B in a SB is a little hard ot believe. I think perhaps it could be a story that progresses. But I know one thing: that its a billion dollar industry and its finding ways to make the most profit yr in and yr out...

so whats the pick for tonight? browns trade their best player qb goes down and they win 2 and a row. ppl tired of losing money betting against the browns?  buffalo plus 4 is the play.

didn't read any of this

this guy creates the DUMBEST threads

many of you probably don't bet tennis but apparently this clown does

he clearly doesn't know tennis, he freaks out about the smallest things in tennis

it'd be like in football a team getting 2 first downs in a row he'll make a thread saying they're going to win the game in a rout

guy is an idiot

So.......???

Anyone gonna discuss picks for the week? Or just nonsense?

Ok!....As of "now," the following are 80 percent or above wagers....At scoresandodds......OVER KC....BALT(CLOSE TO 80)....NEW E( A BIGGIE---88)....OVER DETROIT(NOW AT OVER 90)....N.O.(86)...OVER N.O.(90).....CAROLINA(81)...UNDER CAROLINA(80)...SAN D(81)....OVER DENVER(83)....OVER HOUSTON(80)....ATLANTA(85)....OVER ATLANTA(83).....Quite naturally, these will change before Sunday....I always look early just to see where the early action is....And, this is but one site that I use of 3....But they give me an early indication of things.....Tonights game is about 60=40 on Cleveland....And the O-U is evenly split....We[re here to discuss now....So, let's do it!!....Thoughts??....Right now, I think that Denv. or N.E. does not cover and/ or loses outright, though N.E.  is pk or -1........A shitload of teasers will have Denver-N.E. in them!!....Eh?
