    @cd329.. Bingo..Zero need for the Nfl or books to fix games to profit especially now that books are killing it with all the newbies playing parlays online.A license to steal...Ever notice EVERY book ad is parlay related. Not one promo on single game wagering.. Books have zero chance of losing nowadays..Zero reason to kill the golden goose.. Online books make 83% of profits off idiots playing low end parlays they do not want the large straight players action.Less exposure..less loss margin. .an_light

     

    Be careful with the axe Eugene.

    This is the only logical argument one could make in my opinion. The only thing that I ever found suspicious about this whole thing is that they have the technology to review every single call. Challenges can be made to be used on penalties. The nfl absolutely refuses to do this. 

    The specific call you’re referring to is the absolute perfect example. The phantom facemask that took a TD off the board and ultimately decided whether or not the spread was covered by KC or Indy. Not only is it now a challengable call…but nobody fcking challenged it lmao. And if it is a challengeable call…why not just use a booth review and immediately make the corrections?!?

    To me this is the only thing suspicious about the NFL. It’s like having a calculator in your hand but instead having your 6 year old do your taxes with pencil and paper. Just use the fcking technology. Use it on every play and every single penalty. If the game takes a little longer who gives a shit. Atleast the millions of fans can know that who won the game is actually who won the game.

    There it is once again. Never fails

     

    GB up 10 in the 4th quarter . Dont call the obvious PI/illegal contact  penalty on detroit.

     

    But call the drive extending illegal contact penalty on GB on 3rd and 15 for the lions....

     

    Refs doing as they are told....

     

    Gotta keep the games as interesting as possible as long as possible to keep ratings as high as possible so those TV deals/advertising slots are worth top dollar

I could be wrong but if it ever came to light that the NFL was actually putting its thumb on who wins and who loses i'm sure that I would not be the only one that would not only stop betting on them, but would stop watching also.

     

    They dont control who wins or loses. They make sure games are close as long as possible for ratings. The TV deals are the owners main cash cow.

    They dont control who wins or loses. They make sure games are close as long as possible for ratings. The TV deals are the owners main cash cow.

    Now look...a 1 possession game til the end. No one shuts off the TV early and ratings stay high

     

    If GB is up 10-17 points maybe people change the channel

     Basically everything you said is accurate. Every week, multiple games.

    What is the point about crying about anything being rigged if you voluntarily still going bet?

    Your in a sports betting forum dude!

    Everytime you cry about it being rig only makes you look more foolish. You literally believe it rig yet still continue to bet?

    Its rig yet you keep betting?

    Its rig yet you cant pick the right side?

     It's rigged, fixed and manipulated.  I still bet because I like the comedy.  People enjoy comedies, the circus and soap operas.

    For entertainment only.

    I can only imagine when that day will come

To me this is the only thing suspicious about the NFL. It’s like having a calculator in your hand but instead having your 6 year old do your taxes with pencil and paper. Just use the fcking technology. Use it on every play and every single penalty. If the game takes a little longer who gives a shit. Atleast the millions of fans can know that who won the game is actually who won the game.

    If the technology exists, the NFL should review every play and penalty to ensure accuracy. Fans deserve accurate outcomes, not guesses or missed calls.

Covers really needs to start banning people every time they create these very stupid threads. Fans often feel that certain actions or games are rigged when there are large fluctuations or quiet periods. It is also interesting how this relates to the wider world of gambling. I just read about new online games on uj online casino which reviews legitimate platforms and bonus structures, and even there players discuss randomness and odds. This may be a manifestation of human patterns and not something intentional.

    Not every “suspicious” outcome means the league is involved. Individual actions happen, but that doesn’t prove organized rigging. Think critically before betting.

    I watched intently last night to see if a flag would be thrown on that last kick. 

    Pittsburgh D-lineman leap frogged the center. It’s totally legal as long as you don’t hit the offensive player at all. It gets called all the time on kicks now, but it wasn’t called last night and I seriously doubt the leap I saw cleared the player. We never got a replaynew_laugh_cry. We never do if it doesn’t fit the script.

    Thats not true. You can’t use your own teammates as leverage and you can’t touch an offensive player when jumping.  You have to jump over both. Can’t use your own teammates to boost your jump. It was leverage and it should’ve been called.

    It’s all done by design. I knew Baltimore was done when I saw the nfl playoff schedule come out.  

    Houston at Baltimore on mnf or Houston at Pittsburgh on mnf? 

    then I said fuck. The only time slot that will generate Pittsburgh action is mnf at home as a dog.  Then I knew they were gonna beat Baltimore last night once I realized that.  Pitt at night. It’s rigged by design.

    It would’ve made 0 sense to put Houston/ravens on mnf as the last game.  They would’ve played like 4pm Saturday or Saturday night. I don’t believe ravens were ever meant for that mnf slot

    Lol don’t know why I was banned for this.  I was 100% correct.  Which side is getting more action?? 55% of the bets and 65% of the handle. If Pitt played Houston on Saturday or Sunday who then would get the action? 

    Fucking bozos. 

     
    And now I have to reconsider my pitt wager. Fucking sheep clowns
