Because in the long run, all the rigged games even out in wins and losses.

When it comes to gambling, the degenerates tend to act like the "far left": If they lose a bet, it's because it was somehow stolen from them :puppy:

Like my anti-St Johns play. I bet 7 games yesterday. Got the worst of 6 numbers and all 6 lost.

I don't mind if the games are "rigged." I just wish someone would let me know ahead of time.

I am so sick of these assumptions. If this was really rigged some guy after a short NFL career with no money would rat the system out. Sure there have been point shaving situations in college sports, but the truth is people are addicts. It's still a 50 percent odds on a straight wager. I will take that over a casino any day.

The same reason you cant focus and make the right wager for the correct side, same reason these guys cant always play a complete game. We're only human. We the gamblers and them the athletes, we can't be on top of our game 24-7.

I just think there is too much money at stake for some idiot to rig a game for some off shore gamblers. I am sorry if there are millions in it, but the NFL has Billions and Trillons.

I talked with a Guy who is a qb in the league and I asked him who he thought was going to win the Championship games he said Denver and Seattle. His reasoning was that he thought they were the better teams. Never had a chance to get into detail. Told him that he cost me a couple hundred a few weeks back when they were playin Tampa he just laughed. If its rigged I sure the hell dont think its within the players.

Heck, fortune 1000's, public, & gov't. institutions, wall st., real estate moguls, bankers, politicians rig, swindle, re-zone, spin, backstab, contaminate, etc. to their hearts' content-- yet we still bet on real estate, securities & bonds of those very entities, credit(if you read the fine print this is the riskies bet of all: at credit extender/lender's discretion & for no reason or just being late with a single payment to 'someone else', accounts can be rescinded, loans immediately called in wholly, interest rates can rise over 30%), pay taxes, vote........

It's either go along with it all, join the Michigan Militia, or establish a sect somewhere over the rainbow .........
