Do NBA teams/players point shave and fix games?

May be, just may be, we should give credits to the players whom defended.

 

No but refs fix games. Just watch any warriors games. They suck but the refs will lead them to victory

 

I've never understood why players would throw games and bet on them. I feel like there are other easier, safer ways to make way more money. Bet huge on a player prop, say bet on yourself to make under 2.5 3's, and just don't take any threes all game. I'm honestly surprised some players don't do this already.

 

Or just intentionally brick-em. Nobody would suspect a thing. If your an offensive coordinator for a team in football, how easy would it be to make bank on something like the over for your quarterbacks pass attempts?

 

Do you guys no anything about placing big prop bets at Vegas?

I agree that throwing games is not likely. But betting on yourself is no easier, and quite possibly doomed to fail.

For starters:

• How would you place the bet?
• How would you collect the money?
• You'd have to do it in a way whereby the casino doesn't see a pattern on betting on the same player (yourself)
• The IRS collects on all big bets "at the window," so casino must know a name?

I'm just guessing, but seems you'd need a helper to place the bets, collect them, pay the IRS, and have an off-shore bank account to avoid the IRS as you save the money and use it.

But most importantly, you can't draw the attention of the casinos for a strange pattern of betting that always wins.

 

Yeah, he's done it a lot before... But I don't get his thought process there.. No time for showboating. I really think he just had a bad game, I mean 73-9 on the line?? But.. LOL if it's some players fixing too, then just make it wrestling, I'll have to find another sport (not a wrestling guy ). I have seen some questionable decisions by league to extend series in wcf/finals but other than that nothing like those Tim Donaghy games, I mean refs actually did decent job in game 7 tonight I thought.

 

Well last night **

 

curry turned the ball over on purpose b/c he knew green was going to get playoffs mvp if they won, and curry wasn't havin none of that

 

Teams and players don't but the NBA sure does.
