I still cannot believe that there are people out there, that do not believe sports games are not fixed. These people have a sickness. In fact all games in my opinion are fixed or influenced by the referees,  umpires etc. I wish the leagues would look at some of these questionable calls and fine the referees or umpires. I also think that the leagues should have open Financials, for all referees and umpires and their immediate famlies, just for this reason. Sports gambling generates BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. But in today's society this will never happen, even though it should. Let's face it we live in a very corrupt world today. Everything is manipulated or we are lied to, to say this does not happen. We are also the stupid ones because even though we know this to be true, we still put our money on sports wagers.

I've been trying to tell you guys for years, that " the fix is in".  But nooooo, nobody believed me.  Do you believe me now? 

So can I sue the NBA for my NBA gambling losses on those teams caught cheating?  I have a record of my wagers.

Dammit, I've known this for forty years.  It's what made sports gambling profitable for me.Why did they have to go public?. This is going to be a disaster like marijuana legalization was for me(another story). Hard to come up with a new grift at my age, it will have to be AI oriented I guess. I'll have to hire a 14 year old consultant

 It’s sports entertainment but good luck with the lawsuit.  Better to go after the books

 He'll be here soon I'm sure. He's probably getting a couple booster shots and some therapy.

 Refs 100% manipulate games to keep eyes on the TV for as long as possible to keep advertisement revenue higher....

 

They gifted the Vikings a TD last night to try to keep the game close/entertaining

Kevin Garnett has been cited to have alleged lost $1.5M in the rigged games.  This is going to get much bigger as it was already rumored that Michael Jordan had to sell the Bobcats because of his gambling debt.

Jordan gets something like 250 million a year from Nike/Jumpman. You think he had to sell the Hornets to cover gambling debts?

Rumors are for schoolgirls. Be better.
