Please tell me that you do not really believe this, Weasel. I had begun to believe that on occasion you might actually have a rational thought.

What the hell, I have been wrong before. :SIB

damn judge...come out of that funk!....i want you every bit as happy as when george bush had several feet of garden hose shoved up his arse(remember how you chirped about the "first fool`s" colonoscopy?)...........

that`s my judgy....:grins:


so,please rest easy....i`m actually not surprised that a professional sports official would fix games...

particularly today...during an era in which fixing the outcome of the game isn`t a necessity..... what with quarters, halves and props galore.......

i`m just shoked that he was stupid enough to get caught...

now,a player,given today`s salaries, might surprise me a bit....

What exactly has to happen for you to move into the world of reality? You have an NBA official who has been caught red handed rigging games and you still say there are no games that are rigged? The NBA is doing everything they can to sweep this under the rug and eventually they will win out. If i was this guy i would take that death threat very seriously. You have corrupt cops, Judges, lawyers, doctors, but in this billion dollar industry everything is gonna be on the up and up? Hell we have the two biggest thieves in the world running the country but somehow all betting games are straight with no sneaky stuff on the side?:shrug:

Sounds like you have lost a few "fixed" games :mj07:

Sounds like you are wrong again. When i was a kid and thought these games were all on the up and up i lost a lot. When i reached the age of reason the losing stopped.

Seems like no one has ever been on the "right side" of a "fixed" game around here.........simply amazing.

It's a coin flip! You were on the wrong end of it! Get over it, and move on. Next time a game is in someone's pocket, you have a 50/50 shot at being on the right side.

yeh amazing...im over it budddy,,just trying to point out i rembered watching that game and feeling something out of wack was going on and 6 months later come to find out this ref was in on that game...shit happens i got screwed on that one ,no biggy and im sure ive won some that i shouldnt have and most games I HOPE are legit...btw i had enough money on that game to buy a brand new kia ,so yeh it stung a little ,and im pissed so what...your comments really dont have anything to do with what i said ,except being an a hole...just trying to share something thats all.

On the course!
Sponge, I'm not denying he had involvement in tampering with games. Wake up, already.

Everyone wants to bitch about this, though! Every time a ball bounces the wrong way, some dildo yells "FIX!" around here. Now......it will become epidemic!!!!

What I am saying, is what I have always said: "Quit betting, or quit bitching!!!!!"

I've already told you that I understand you've got the DiVinci Code of Fixed Sports Algorithms. Swell.......I hope you continue to be the Sage of sniffing out crooked games.

But let's face it.......Your Average Joe has just as much chance of being on the right side of the coin flip that picks the game right, as he does picking the "fix" right, so it doesn't matter.

I stopped wagering on regular season NBA years ago, although I still play playoff games on ccassion.

The day I stopped playing NBA I was on a under and everything was going fine. I had a fairly large play on it. That was until a foul fest started with 2 minutes to go and 22 points were scored on foul shots taking it over.

That gut feeling I had about the fix told me the NBA had problems.

and yyz can whine about people crying 50/50 and all, but the bottom line is they have cheated some honest gamblers. maybe if we yell loud enough they will find the cheating refs in the NFL and get them out so we can gamble without worrring about it.

I dont play that refs cheating chit homey.

Does anyone ask the big question about this? How did this guy get roped in?

Someone had to have some serious shit on him, don't you think? Who in the hell is going to "sell" their games for a lousy 2-5 grand each? The guy made over a quarter Million a year in pay! What the hell is 2 G's?

He had to know the guys making the bets were making a shitload more than that!

So what gives?

Did he have a gambling problem????
Drugs????

Sure, once he's in their pocket, he's cooked........but how did he get there?

yyz - its simple really

Not only was he taking the money from the big boys, he also had other people betting the games for him, so he was cashing chunks. And some of his other close buddys also.

I think the 500k fine they are imposing will be laughed at . More than likely if he keeps his mouth shut he will be able to retire when its all over and he gets out of jail .

the rat bastid

ps I have almost assured myself that I lost some games he was fiddling with, so I hate the NBA even more.
