    I would sincerely give up betting in order to have sports back to where the players ACTUALLY put effort into each play instead of DELIBERATELY shaving points or stats only to keep Vegas happy! I’ve seen in the forums, people discussing players salaries and BIG contracts and wonder where the money comes from? Look back at your recent transactions and you’ll see where that $700 Million guaranteed contract for Ohtani came from. Only ranting because Raptors were covering the +4.5 spread (130-133) with literally 0.1 seconds to go and Pascal Siakam feels the need to foul Murray? Like dude, you obviously knew the time and THE OPENING SPREAD. Hell Giannis could’ve read the game clock at this point and he’s known for delaying games with 27 second foul shots!

    I hate to use the word Rigged but games are def influenced by the action, when you jump on Covers and see 70%+ of action on one side stay away

    I don’t know what was worse; the shot by Quickly, the barely touch foul by Pascal, or the corrupt official blowing the whistle with .5 sec left.

    It's always been the same. You're trying to beat vegas, not trying to pick the best team. Figure out what vegas is doing and follow. But as soon as patterns form, they see them too and change things up. They will always be one step ahead since they control the lines. ESPN was created for gambling, fantasy sports just enhanced it, legalized gambling was just a matter of time. Money rules the world and always will. Find something, follow it, but don't be afraid to change if it flips on you. Because the only constant in the world is change.

    Only idiots don’t know that sports are rigged but they don’t want to admit it. Move on boys!
