Apparently the Tim Donaghy case shook up alot of crooked refs in every major sport. The games are not fixed anymore giving way to some massive streaks ats for the best teams in the nation. Just in the NBA, since 11/20 <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:place></st1:City> have a combined 18-3 record against the spread, including an 11-0 current streak for the cavs. That's almost a full month of easy victories. It doest matter who, what, when, where, whatever the spread is the the best teams have crushed it. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The only justification for this is that Pinnacle must be getting enough so called sharp action betting against the trend to warrant not over adjusting the spread thus continuing these hot streaks. Think about all the so called sharps that faded hot teams like the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners. The results were devastating. What's amazing is that they must keep coming back for more because the best teams are continuing to win at an unprecedented rate. Similar to that guy that puts his money on red after black hit 12 times, then doubles his money every time until he wins. If this mentality holds there's no end in sight, take these gifts like <st1:City w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Boston</st1:place></st1:City> to the bank. This is the year of dominant teams killing the spread. Tim Donaghy's picture should be framed and put above every squares dinner table.<o:p></o:p>

Its nothing different that hasnt been going on for years.

You're backfitting.

You've taken some stats and provided your own cause.

I can do the same:

Great defense creates Goldmine for the betting public

Apparently great defense is creating some incredible streaks in betting this years. The defenses are giving way to some massive streaks ats for the best teams in the nation. Just in the NBA, since 11/20 <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City> and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:place></st1:City> have a combined 18-3 record against the spread, including an 11-0 current streak for the cavs. That's almost a full month of easy victories. It doest matter who, what, when, where, whatever the spread is the the best teams have crushed it. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Good trick huh?

I was going to do it with the color Red in the college football list, just throw out Penn state and it fits:

" College Teams with the color red in their uniform are creating a goldmine for the betting public."

You can backfit anything to a group of stats and attribute cause to it. In this case ' Gambling Ref' was used.

Be leery of backfitting.

It can be fun though to create some really far fetched reasons.
