Re: NOW TELL ME FOOTBALL ISN'T FIXED
It's a lucky cover. I lost, it was a bad beat, but it's a risk that you assume when you bet on the favorite. Back-door covers are a fact of life. Some are more painful than others. On the flip side, I've been betting favorites in hockey on the pucks line and have been winning all season with empty net goals. Here, that's stacked in your favor, and it's up to the linesmaker to make the bet less appealing by taking the empty net into account. Three times last week, the teams laying 1.5 covered with goals in the last 5 seconds. Nothing is fixed. You have to take the good with the bad and be aware of what risks you're assuming.

Re: NOW TELL ME FOOTBALL ISN'T FIXED
Very good statement. More games than not ARE fixed to a point. YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE AND WHEN THE FIX WAS IN! I didn't bet this game but YES there coach KNOWS the line guaranteed. Being the game was OVER with no time on the clock, why not go for 2? Losing by 1 looks better than losing by 2 , lol. When Indy kicked that field goal, I looked over to my brother and said watch this bullshit ending, and the Colts backers get backdoored. A major RED flag was 75% or more of all action went on the Colts yet the line never really moved. Watch another game fixed tomorrow. Army hasn't scored a touchdown vs. Navy in 3 years,lol, watch what happens.

Re: NOW TELL ME FOOTBALL ISN'T FIXED
Just to clarify my statement above, that, in my opinion, in the Colt game last night and in the NHL games which featured empty net goals in the last 5 seconds, nothing was fixed. Nobody sane would be ballsy enough to allow the clock to run that close to zero before taking care of business. Sorry for any confusion. I will say, however, that my first reaction after losing a bet is not to think the game was fixed.
My father was a man of very few words and has been gone for many years. Two things he said still stand out in my mind:
1. NBA games are fixed
2. My mother-in-law was a "very simple woman".
Wise beyond his years.

Internet Gambling Message Board Rule #361: All bad beats require the necessary expressed outrage and accusations of collusion by those on the wrong side.
Just as the craps shooter can roll 5 "fours" in a row and the crowd gasps, a sports cover can be made or lost on the last play.
Otherwise, randomness wouldn't be random.
If you feel otherwise, why would you be gambling on a fixed outcome?

Re: NOW TELL ME FOOTBALL ISN'T FIXED
this is a great thread I started. I will keep this opened until the end of the season. I am sure there will be more games like the one last night. Just watch the games closely. We all knew the titans, were going to score a touchdown. It is like watching the WWF when you were a kid. You knew the good guy was going to come back at the end and win. Games ARE FIXED. AND I will give you examples each week.

2 funny things in forums:
1-people saying 70 or 80 percent of the money or public money is one the favorite but the line hasn't moved, trap game! This is such complete gibberish where would you even start to explain whats wrong with it? where do they even get this from?
2-Claiming the sportsbooks in Vegas fix games depending on what they need. Here is the typical Las Vegas sportsbook crew, 4 lightly paid ticket writers who have incredible superstititions they learn from their parade of $15 6 team parlay gamblers. One assistent manager who used to be a writer. possibly one senior manager whose job it is to wear a suit, copy pinnacles lines and glare at anyone wagering $1000 or more. The crew at your local Subway is more likely to have the ability to engineer a fix than these Las Vegas sportsbook dingbats.

Re: NOW TELL ME FOOTBALL ISN'T FIXED
a good rule of thumb in forum looney land is when someone starts yelping about fixes, faked moon landing, George Bush planting bombs in towers, etc. its best if you have an opposing point of view not to bother explaining it. you may as well run into a brick wall repeatedly instead

Re: NOW TELL ME FOOTBALL ISN'T FIXED
Mr. SMITH, did you watch the game. The titans were down by 9. They scored with the clock at 00. There is no such thing as a 9 point toucdown right? You kick a field goal with 45 seconds and you kick an onside kick. Unless the point spread is 2.5. Then you take all the time off the clock, and score a touchdown. Why wouldn't they go FOR TWO, instead of kicking the extra point. LOSING 30-27 or losing 30-29 , whats the diffrence a 2.5 point spread. Stay tuned.
