If you are winning with the NBA now you will not just dump it, winning cures all.

So you're earning 300K a year.

You pick games at a 70% - 80% rate and you win 100K over the course of 4 years?

Am I the only one who thinks that something is wrong with that math?

Also, regarding his allegation on extending playoff series, I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to see how many 7 game series vs. non 7 game series there have been over ANY reasonable period of time (hint - there have been WAY more non 7 game series).

i thought that was funny too...the bastard only made 100k betting on the games...he didnt make near enough with the power that he had...

i guess if he made more or picked a better % than he would have been caught much earlier

either way i dont understand how people can turn a blind eye to this sort of info and continue betting of the NBA

 

[dumbbet]

maybe he thought he would not get caught and has a problem with gambling. If you are done with the NBA betting wise what will you play now and how do you know that is not fixed??

 

[proguy747]

many series would be sweeps if it was not for the refs!

 

[netMinder]

he says he only made 100k.. you can bet your sweet ass this guy made 7 digits.. all stored away..

hes set for the rest of his life.

It sounds like it was very predictable. Just look up the ref-team records. Too simple. Made it sound like he was just taking advantage of what other guys were or are doing.
