My wife tells me I am crazy and maybe I am but I swear the Miami top 2 players are NOT TRYING TO WIN THIS GAME. I have been watching the shots and I can shoot better...I suppose it is the game "ettiquete" to split on the road. Once they do that they are satisfied..If they win 2 of 2 Detroit is virtually out of the series....They have to let Dt win to keep the series going..I believe Shaq and Wade know whats going on...The game is not theirs tonite....NOT TONITE...They give Dt a 14 pt lead 1st 1/4 and now they can put the show on close the score a little but for all practical purposes the game is over. Dt wins 1-1 series go to Miami...This is the NBA....It is an unwritten law..I wouldnt call it rigged ..but maybe set up....Miami scored 9 pts in the first 1.50 last game..They had a tuf time scoring 12 pts in 12 minutes. Gimme a f..break...Yeah I bet a 2 team parlay ML on Miami and over I laid $100 to win 600. I am a loser...but I can see this is so phony..Just like the NFL game that the ref made the phony call to give the INdy team a chance.. Made front page USA Today..Total scam....just like NBA ..just like wrestling....OK I am crazy but I am right ..Wade forgot how to shoot ..cant hit the rim..Shaq misses EVERY F..shot ..cant even dunk...he forgot how...
I guess they answered my question.....
Ok...looks like consensus says I am wrong.....the games are never rigged...the refs are all on the up and up.all sports are pure....well...I just read in the NY Times last week that one of the top Italian soccer teams was being investigated along with several refs for several major bettings coups....the top 3 trainers at the Meadowlands racetrack have received drug related warnings by the NJ Racing Commission.....the phony call in the Indy NFL game made the front page of USA Today some time ago....but escuse me..how in hell could the NBA games possibly be tilted...I must be smokin crack ,smokin dope....and drunk.....Oh by the way..2 years ago the TOP 3 DRIVERS AT NORTHFIELD PARK in Ohio were barred for RACE FIXING....PLeaded NO CONTEST and walked....Yeah I am crazy....for reading comments from posters who want to believe that there is a Santa Claus.....$$$$ talks b...walks...and that is the rest of the story....And remember these are just the items that DO make the headlines....and baseball players would NEVER use steroids..the game is the national pastime...it is impossible....too pure ..couldnt happen..

This is what I believe, not what I know...
I am sure some games are fixed, but just a few college games. I have a hard time believing MLB, NFL, NHL, and NBA games are fixed. The leagues would be crazy to risk their billions, doesn't preclude it, but it would be unreal stupid. Players make too much nowadays as well. Officials is a possiblility, but we never hear of actual cases in this country. A few in Euro soccer, but not here, yet.
One thing I do know...
If I thought a lot of games were fixed I would not watch sports again, let alone throw money on them. This is what really makes me wonder about the sanity of some people. Fine, believe most games are fixed by the billionaires and millionaires...could be right. But if you believe it, why the hell do you watch and gamble on them?????????
