    Some games smell very fishy when it comes to covering handicaps, SOME not all of them obviously, then on which factor can you base yourself on how to choose the right side? 

    Games which have a ton of money on one side then bet on the other side? 80% of the wagers on team A, 20% on team B, if it's really rigged by Vegas or some form of collusion then they will of course fix it in order to have most people lose their bets and have team B win, so just bet on team B? 

    Cuz rigged games is only a bad thing if you are on the wrong side of the fix, otherwise it's all good LMAO

    If anyone watches professional sports, you see shadiness in every game. It's usually the officials. People that continue to post on here, that games aren't fixed, then what do you call it???? Coaches, refs, and replay officials are just incompetent? Blind? Come on man, I have some dry land for you in the Everglades as well. Do you realize the Billions of dollars being thrown around out there in the betting industry. It's everywhere, and pls tell me things are aways on the up an up when Billions of dollars are involved. Sure nothing to see here. LMAO......

    Once again For all you conspiracy theorist out there who are losing money because you're on the wrong side of the fix,

    if that is the case then here is the winning formula:

    If and when you consider a game will be or is to be fixed.

    Bet the side you think Will win because of the fix

    There! Now I fixed your fixed conspiracies for you (pun intended) it's as simple as can be....So now go and try to figure out the fix which in itself is easier said then done and start rolling in the moneybag

    Disclaimer: This system by no means will make you rich but that's to be expected when your on a fixed income! an_praise

    When I win Money it's my money and NOT house money

     You will never be on the right side, or the wrong side all the time.  

    Every day out of the red is a big win.

    @Tressel33

    I think that's the problem - they think that everyone from top down in the NFL and every team from the Goodell, owners, players, the water boys need to be in on it and that someone would have snitched by now.

    All you need are a few key pieces who have their fingers on the scale, whether it's sneaky or blatantly bad flags/whistles by the refs, bad playcalls by the coaches like handing or tossing the ball back 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage on a 4th & inches, and so on.

    Maybe I'm a salty Patriots fan but look how lopsided/bad the ref'ing was in the Bills comeback win.  Look at the ending the of the Lakers/Suns game - LeBron ran into Dillon Brooks' landing zone and into him - no whistle.  He got tech'd so fast for getting in LeBron's face though.  And then I couldn't find any good clips but the Devon Booker foul on LeBron to end the game.

    @yvesxiaoyu

     Being on the right side of a fixed/scripted game has a lot of factors. Keep your eyes open for the narrative that is being pushed by the media leading into games and also while the games are being played you can see how the refs are calling a specific game. Live wagering/after the flop I would say is the best way to get on the right side of the fix if that is how you are trying to go about it. Major sports-books don’t move lines in certain directions based on “risk” they simply move it based on matching the global market. So trying to be on the right side of the fixed game based on where the public/sharp money is in the long run will lead you to lose more then often . So I would not recommend that strat . Good luck

    @iDShaDoW

     Yeah , plenty of games in this last week or so that have been blatantly fixed. That Ravens vs Steelers game for example. Anyone who knows football knows that Isiah Likely TD that was taken away was robbery in broad daylight . I’ve seen some bad calls in my time and that one is right up there.

    Exactly, It's not players etc. It's an official or few that are responsible. People just have no clue. Everything you just stated above regarding the Pats game and the Lebron situation, don't know sports or are blind. No conspiracy there. It's like the Thursday night NFL game with ATL vs TB. I had no money on the game, just watching cuz I do like Baker Mayfield. That TD catch by Pitts in the corner of the end zone was a not a catch. You could CLEARLY see his elbow hit just before his ass cheek or hip hit inbounds. Then Michaels and the so called rules expert, are saying don't think what your eyes see is right, it's wrong. They try to play a mind game by telling the audience what they see or don't see. I have two eyes, I can see clearly by both camera angles, and they claim it's too close to call, so it stands. The hell it does, you can see his elbow landed out first. They are trying to make the viewers go along with the narrative they're expelling to us, even though we can see with our own eyes. I knew they would come back after replay and say it stands. What do you know, they said it stood. What a joke!!! I guess we're all blind then. LMAO

    this country is going to run out of aluminum foil with the number of tin foil hats that get made very Sunday.

    hopefully some get reused.

     

    do refs get some calls wrong?  yes, absolutely.  is it possible there is a shady ref?  yes, for sure.  we've seen it before.

    to get many people to collude is nearly impossible.

    and if anyone is alluding to the TB/ATL game as "fixed" for Atlanta...there's no way a fixed game would allow a 4-5 point down get down 14 late in the game.

    a fixed game would ensure that Atl was winning/covering the entire time.

    The Pitts TD was called that on the field.  It was very very close and not 100% absolutely an incompletion, so they stuck with the initial ruling of a TD.  It was very very close.

     

    i really have to stop coming into these threads.....

    From what I can tell the bold is the problem. Those who disagree with those having suspicions about the legitimacy in sports keep alluding to the bold over and over and from what I can tell that's not what those who have suspicions are saying, but you guys seem to be tone deaf.

    I don't usually like to get involved in these kind of fixed allegations but will say that ones beliefs are ones beliefs and I have mine as well.

    But to claim thousands need to be involved for the game to be fixed is just nonsense as one can count on one hand how many it takes for a desired outcome and they wear headsets and officiate the games also known as Zebras who can change the flow of any teams or any score or any tempo of a game at anytime at anyplace as to achieve the leagues and all of its affiliates desired outcome. peace

    Do you really think that refs wear those headsets to communicate with one another? an_roll_laugh

    Joe Public looks at win-loss records, standings, rankings, and last game played.  Lines do not always match what you'd expect to see.  Practice setting your own NFL lines before they come out and if anything looks too good to be true, it usually is.  Only a self-righteous wannabe pseudo-intellectual would ever a deny games are rigged in a forum like this.

    well if your logic was even a little bit remotely true, then the lions coach belongs in jail cause that bonehead makes multiple stupid calls a game. He must be rigging games then.  You are giving people in sports way too much credit. They are just as dumb and do stupid shit as people not working in sports.

    I have wrote so many posts on this subject, my fingers feel like they are gonna fall off.

    They cant use your method for the simple reason, the game isnt fixed until the game is over and they lose their bets. For some reason, bettors believe that every bet they make, its supposed to win and if it doesnt win, it had to be rigged because how in Gods name could their supreme handicapping skills actually pick the losing side.

    Why would sports book need to rig games, when everyday millions of bettors lose games all on their own. Just look at this forum and all the other internet forums. You will find way moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bettors losing betting then you will find winning bettors.

    Books just need to make a line and then let all the bettors take care of the losing, which they always do.

    Buddy all I can say is that you really do need to wake up out of that coma that you are in.

    If you think for one second that sports are not fixed or manipulated for a desired outcomes on particular games you are a classified idiot!

    Now with that being said I have my beliefs and play them accordingly with a winning record not the greatest but a winning record nonetheless.

    My point to this subject is that believing the game is fixed is one thing and having the side or total that becomes part of that fix is another.

    Good luck on your next plays with your beliefs as you shouldn't mock those that have theirs because you come off as a total ass! peace

    When I win Money it's my money and NOT house money

    Is sports rigged?  Yeah some games.  All games?  Not at all but the thing is we're still gonna bet it anyway that's why I stopped complaining.  To just say it doesn't happen like at all when people have admitted and have been investigations.  To folks on here its just a hoax/fake news
