Journey,,,,
youve been here along time,,, you dont remeber the 1970s Syndicate that Ruined VEGAS???

they made Millions in 1 year by tracking the refs, someref groups called alot of fouls,,, some didnt,,

they bet the Totals,,, the rumor is that they went 60-2 with that information,,,

the FBI got involved,, the entire strip almost stopped takeing NBA total bets alotogether,,

they first thougth it was the CLOCK operators,,lolol leaving more time or less time,,, they studied game tape of thousands of hours lol,,, poor guys,, anyway they realized that the clock guys could only of accounted for 5-10 seconds + or - of an entire game so they knew it wasent possible,,,

anyway,, thats the story,,, most of it anyway,

They still announce it before tip though right? That's enough time to get plenty of bets in offshore, no?

It's the same reason they don't list the NFL refs in USA Today like they used to on Friday's. Seem that you could pick out certain refs like Markbreight that seemed to sway the game one way or the other. Just coincidentaly the calls coincided with the wrong way the "public" was going on the game. Sharps picked up on it and it was easy money!

For the same reason they dont announce the umpires in baseball until right before the leadoff batter steps to the plate.
Its the TOTALS ! Some are Under Umps and some are OVER Umps!

People in LV caught this years and years ago. Made a Fortune playing Totals.
