I don't think you need to worry about too many folks hopping on your free lunch wagon, stud.

There are still plenty of other guys here who bump their "play" threads 6-12 times a day...........

And that guy like the man he is proved the point like he usually does.

No, the guy who was standing in the ungodly long line with me was insisting that the fixes come down from the league's head office. Not some rogue ref looking to make some money.

This Donaghy stuff - yea.. a ref influenced the game, but he wasn't carrying out orders from the corporate office like that other douchebag was ranting about.

Marine i got it. Politics are all on the up and up as well as sports. Oh and those emails offering me millions of dollars are missed opportunities. Marine i can't think of any poster in my 15 years of posting that i would rather not go back and forth with. You are as gullible as they come. Book smarts yes. Streets smarts god no. What this ref is now saying he is making all up. Just like Sammy Gravano did to frame John Gotti.

can you forward me those million dollar emails? If you aren't going to hop on the money train, I will.


How you draw the federal government into refs trying to shave or add points is entertaining to say the least.

Hey judgy i rip 19 out of 21 picks last week. Guess how? Betting the games would go to the books being they were heavily bet games. Let me know if you want me to list them for ya. One of the two losses was a wash of a bet i didn't like so really it was 18 out of 19.
Congratulations on your 94.7% handicapping. :jerkit:

Personally, I can't imagine any kind of advantage in trying to bet on games that might have some kind of fix on them, whatever it might be. As I said, some umps and refs seem to somewhat favour the home squads but, for umps at least, we have that information available at our disposal (which is what merit I give it). I try to 'cap games based on available information and whatever inspiration might come when considering whatever I can. Anybody that thinks that they can make money based on what the "public" is betting or what the "league wants" is probably in for an arduous journey. This recent Donaghy shit kinda pisses me off but, other than maybe avoiding a sport that a don't know anyways, I don't think I'll be changing my approach in the near future.

Interesting replies, anyways.
For the most part.

Not true! Sponge is 19 of 21 in "after-the-fact" plays last week!

I'm willing to bet that when the two current series conclude, he will give us a breakdown on how those games went, too!

"Anyone should have known the league wasn't going to let Boston continue to lose on the road once they let a game slip away at home. If you didn't pound Boston at Detroit the very next game, you're a fool! Now, this team couldn't win a game on the road the entire playoffs, but NOW they win by 15? RIIIIIIIIIIGHT!"

And of course, since Boston didn't cover last night, the story will go a little something like this:

"Stern wants the LA/Bos series to happen, so you know that was going to come through, but all the money was Boston -6 or 6', so the refs and players had to make sure the game stayed under a 6 point win. If you were dumb enough to not see this one a mile away, I can't help you anymore than that!"
