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. And also, I don't even know what Book of Ra Deluxe at Win.bet is but I want to play and play more to win some cash
I get why that ending feels suspicious—those situations are brutal when you’re one score away. But what happened there is actually a known clock-management strategy, not evidence of a rig.By taking the timeout at 2:03, Green Bay avoids the automatic two-minute warning stoppage and keeps control of the clock. It sounds counterintuitive, but the goal is to prevent giving the opponent extra “free” stoppages later in the sequence. Once Detroit got the first down in that spot, the game was effectively over—they can kneel it out regardless of whether the two-minute warning happens or not.
