Never Belived The NFL Was Rigged

Before anyone comes at me as being a sore loser for stating this, please consider re-watching the game if you didn't. I've been gambling for over 30 years and I never believed sports games were rigged. Always thought that sometimes we are simply not on the right side of the game, and move on. Ok, with that aside, let's go.

Check the Lions vs. Green Bay. Lions live at the end of the 2nd quarter was favorite -13, they were winning 17-3, also the team total was 26.5 points, to which I put a great sum of money to both, to cover and to score over such points. At the very beginning of the 3rd quarter, there's an interception, then the Lions score and now have 24 points, I thought it was a winner right there since the third quarter just began and there's still a full 4th quarter and they only needed three points.

Ok, they were running down the clock, that's ok, right?; but how about that last drive?, they run and get close to the score line and the runner goes down with 2:03 minutes to go and GB had one timeout left, so the clock has to stop because of the two-minute warning, right?, wrong, GB takes a time out immediately before the two minutes warning (at 2:03) to prevent such warning, so the Lions now can just kneel and end the game. If this is not proof of rigging, then I don't know what it is. 

You might want to consider taking spelling lessons.  

Detroit would have been able to kneel no matter when GB took the timeout right? Detroit started playing extremely conservatively as soon as they went up 24-3

What exactly are you trying to point out?

@nikisongo

 Bro it is what is now more than before because it’s legalized now. Look at the eagles game today! They go for 2 points why? 3 times and failed and that’s why they only win by 5 points instead of 8 points 

there is like 1000 better examples of nfl being rigged and this is what u came up with? u just made a bad bet. lions -13 was an awful bet in any sense of the game. ur an idiot more like. but yeah, it is rigged, but u just made a shit play. doubtful that they were taking a knee so as to not cover the team total over lol. are u kidding me? that is just stupid. no one gives a shit about the miniscule money being bet on lions team total over. get real man . 

@nikisongo

So after 30 years this was the game that did it for you?  The timeout didn't matter. Detroit got first down gb called timeout with 2:03 left. Detroit then threw the ball for another first down and was 2 minute warning. Game over regardless

 I'm not American and English is not my first language, so my apologies. Anyways, that's not the point of the thread, so I suggest if you don't have anything productive to say, like for instance, correcting me to help me improve, then just shut up; you are not bringing anything of value to the conversation. So in other words, your post is useless. More over, I bet you don't speak more languages than I do, so shame on you for your senseless and childish attack.

The nfl is rigged, no doubt. The refs control games. It’s made for entertainment. They call games to keep fan bases involved through the year. They create parity for the sake of more eyeballs and thus, more dollars.

Ive realize how hard it is to be the eagles with Sirrianis play calling. He will leave points on the board because of his ego.

Dude i think u shoukd hit a Ga meeting brother

NFL is most certainly manipulated, but this example is not a good one. 

There are hundreds of instances where it was much more egregious. 

?? you picked this as the hill to die on. 

@Raiders22

   He meant punctuation not spelling but how the phuk would he know that, ball buster that he is.

even the ejection of the lions cb was a worse example than your stupid taking a knee example. u claim u are not a sore loser but u are exactly that. sad because your team total bet didnt hit which was a poor pick in the first place. 

so the full game spread and total was never in question but the league decided to rigg the game against live wagers?

Betting any nfl double digit favorite is insanity lol 

Find God brother

@Martylee

 Not really, the Ravens were heavy favorites at the half today (-17) and won by 31, final score 41-10, and guess what?, I bet on Denver taking the +17 points. 

@FillyFlier16

 This is not english class, a person like you not welcome this gambling forum ASSHOLE

Yep nothing earth shattering learned here from the op. That was indeed a shit bet that you made just being honest. If you would like to witness a really really rigged play, search on YouTube MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE. There you will see Saints Rookie Marcus Williams clearly miss Stefon Diggs on purpose. Listen closely to Troy Aikman’s take as they run through the plan on review. Then even did the entire HUMILIATION RITUAL with Marcus Williams by interviewing him in the locker room right after the game. This shit has been fake for forever. In last year’s 2023 AFC Title game in Baltimore, Marcus Williams who is now playing for the Ravens had a “blown coverage” that enabled a Chiefs TD. Also simply listen to the announcers as they like to tell you about, “flipping the script” and so on and so forth. 

@DeLoreanStylez

 Just a quick question. Why is it that you have to be so rude?, did I do something wrong to you or to anyone with what I posted?, am I offending anyone? no. I'm just voicing my thoughts, this is what forums are for, right?, I simply shared my thoughts and opinions based on my reasoning and also thinking of hopefully sharing something I thought was a myth. In short, is not that hard to be polite and respect others. Bless you and wish you the best.

@Browns20

 Thank you!. I had no idea about this, but will research the instance you shared and learn from it. Appreciate it, this is what forums are for, to share thoughts and information with the hope to contribute to the betterment of each other. Kudos to you.
