Is sports fixed??

Some of you guys better hope Richard Perry never moves his hot-tub to your alma maters!

He can fix any game he wants as far as I'm concerned - just let me know first.

Sports are Fixed. Every player can be bought and sold. How do you think they buy all those steroids and crack whores. Anyone that does not beleive will continue to lose your cash.
Got to love the missed free throws and field goals...

Tim Brown and Jerry Rice claim that Callahan sabotaged Superbowl 37 vs Tampa.

That game was ten years ago, and when you listen to what they said about how Callahan changed the gameplan less than 48 hours before the game. Well it seems crazy, and I wonder why it took ten years for this to come out?

How can one be so sure that one of the Harbaugh brothers will not do something to help the other?

I think this Superbowl is setting up to be more crooked than the one played ten years ago.

I think every sport has had its certain fixes.

I do not trust any outcome in the NBA and I think eventually this "fixing" thing story will break like the steroid supposed scandal in baseball with 1 allegation after another and a bunch of congress bs followed by admission and so on. There are way to many shady characters involved in sports to think it is all legit. Not to mention, how many here if they had the opportunity to would not take advantage of a fixed game?

Lastly, I support steroids in baseball and that whole thing was blown out of proportion. I would take them as well if i were them.

Got to believe there are games here and there in every sport that are rigged , foxed, whatever. As along as a player or ref can profit from it the possibility is surely out there. But im not as paranoid to believe that every close game i lose was because the fix was in.

I can make arguments why smaller off the market games would be easy to be fix and have appeared so.. just as well as different ways of fixing a more mainstream "tv game"

I have wondered if the following is possible....

With so many games out there, could one go to some kind of lesser sporting event such as really small girls tennis tournament or a random D league basketball game in south Korea where the game starts at 4 am in the books time zone and watch game in person and be able to tell what result will be and bet it before book knows result? There are just so many games/ props to bet, I would think there has to be something like this that is beatable.

And on that same note, how easily accessible are those lesser known athletes to be paid off? This is why I would never bet on high school sports unless I had inside info., too easy to be fixed.

If you fully believe a HS player can be bought for money or family threats or anything even remotely close... then one would be naive' to think that a college player who has no income couldn't be tempted in the same way... and go up to the pro level and there is plenty plenty of greedy bastards.

just saying.. its very plausable that this could have legs to be able to work on many levels.

No doubt sports are fixed, some more than others. Obviously not very game but if you been watching sports for a majority of your life, like most people who visit the therx, then you notice little things here and there that don't add up.
